Earle-Harrison House is the oldest and only antebellum structure in Waco, TX, group tours are offered to guests as a part of the rental. The gardens include a double gazebo shaded by massive oaks where most weddings are held.
A 60x90 tent sited over a two-tiered cement floor and hung with 100+ white paper lanterns serves as an ideal garden reception site. Our rental package includes tables, chairs, white floor-length linens, parking, golf cart transport, and the use of an extensive list of decorative and functional items. Staff coordinates all vendors and provides all setup/teardown/cleanup which includes decorating if desired. Taking on these extra tasks allows us to better maintain the property while also offering a less stressful day for the renter.
Mother of the Bride Review:
"Out of all the people who helped with this special occasion, we are most grateful for you and your unending desire to make this a beautiful memory for Amanda and Reid. I tried to explain to the people who came that I did not in fact make this a beautiful occasion, you did, and others. But we unanimously agree that without you this would not have been half as good, and you and your help were the most worthwhile money we spent for this day. You gave us more than we paid, and we are grateful for you. Have a wonderful end to 2009. May you enjoy great blessing for your faithfulness to serve others. It is most appreciated." -Cathey Trankovich
