The Chestnut Hall wedding reception space with crystal chandeliers in downtown McKinney

Elegance that doesn't
need decorating.

Some venues hand you four walls. The Chestnut Hall hands you a scene: soaring ceilings hung with crystal chandeliers, walls of windows over the rooftops of historic downtown McKinney, and a 750-square-foot private balcony where guests drift out with a cocktail as the string lights come on.

The 3,000-square-foot open floor plan seats up to 100 for dinner or hosts 120 for a standing reception — and flexes to your vision, whether that's long banquet tables, classic rounds, or an open dance floor beneath the chandeliers. Gold Chiavari chairs, tables, and full setup and breakdown are already included.

And because we have a completely open vendor policy, the caterer, florist, photographer, DJ, and planner you've been dreaming with are all welcome here.

The Balcony

A private, 750-square-foot outdoor balcony over Louisiana Street — golden-hour portraits, cocktail hour under the sky, and a downtown backdrop no ballroom can match.

Included Essentials

Gold Chiavari chairs with cushions, round, banquet, and high-top tables, and setup and breakdown handled for you — so your budget goes to the details guests remember.

Your Vendors, Welcome

No in-house catering contracts and no preferred-list markups. Bring the team you trust; vendors simply carry standard licensing and liability insurance.
