Your Perfect Wedding & Event Venue in Nevada, TX
Bear Creek Ranch was named for the creek that sustained the farming community in southeastern Collin County. Originally known as the Silver Bar Ranch, our property hosted country music icon George Strait in a private concert, adding to its rich history. The Foust family has preserved the original barn and ranch buildings to create a celebration space limited only by imagination. Located between Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Lavon, our venue offers lake breezes and countryside charm. Since acquiring the property in 2013, owner Mel Foust has transformed it into an affordable yet premium wedding and event destination.With a background in sales from the University of North Texas, Mel combines entrepreneurial vision with personal connection to ensure every event succeeds. Our amenities include a bridal cabin, groom's room, and converted horse stable bar, all designed to create lasting memories. We serve Rockwall, Wylie, Murphy, and surrounding areas while maintaining a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Our team's attention to detail has earned consistent praise from clients, including five-star reviews for our wedding and event hosting capabilities.

There are no words to completely explain how awesome and beautiful this venue is! It was so spacious, beautiful, fun! The bridal suite was adorable and great space for photos of my dress and accessories, my husband liked hanging with his boys in their house and the reception area was amazing as well. The ceremony area is outside right across a bridge from the bridal suite which made my walk down the isle perfect! Owner and staff are so helpful, responsive, and caring and just went above and beyond for us as if we are family! So happy I chose here and really recommend it to any brides looking for
