Downtown views from The Chestnut Hall, a milestone birthday and anniversary party venue in McKinney

Throw the party
they'll talk about.

Some years deserve more than a reserved table at a restaurant. When a birthday hits a round number, or an anniversary crosses a decade, The Chestnut Hall gives the occasion the setting it has earned — chandeliers, a private balcony, and a whole floor of downtown McKinney to yourselves.

Host a seated dinner for up to 100 with toasts that land perfectly on the built-in sound system, or an all-out cocktail party for 120 with your bartender running the built-in bar and your DJ keeping the floor moving. Tables, gold Chiavari chairs, and setup are included.

The open vendor policy means the party tastes exactly like you want it to — your favorite caterer, the taco truck team, the bakery that does the cake right. Your call, entirely.

A Private Floor

The entire second-floor venue is yours — no strangers at the next table, no restaurant clock. Just your people, all night.

Bar & Dance Floor

A fully equipped built-in bar for signature cocktails and an open floor plan with premium sound — the two ingredients every great party shares.

The Balcony Moment

Candles, a toast, and 750 square feet of balcony above the glow of downtown McKinney. That's the birthday photo.
