Highly Recommended

Fabulous, spacious property. We used for a wedding and had lots of kitchen space to get food ready. The rooms were spacious and the two extra half baths were nice! Wonderful old house charm! Recommend opting for the wedding package for the venue addition with all the tables and chairs, ice chests, and air conditioned/heated space which came in handy! Most reasonable priced venue we could find in the area with the ability to use as a venue and have rooms for our guests to stay! We enjoyed our visit and highly recommend The Olde House!

What makes this property unique

This home sits at the corner of Downtown Wylie, the original hub of the city built in the 1870s. Now, the olde downtown is a quaint strip, still featuring original 100 yr old buildings where you can spend the day jumping from coffee to lunch to antiquing to furniture shopping to the gym to yogurt, then dinner. Wylie was rated #1 city in the nation for families by Forbes magazine in 2016! Also, a top 20 city rated in Money magazine. True quaint, country atmosphere with lots to offer our visitors! Lot's of fast food and restaurants off the nearby highway as well.

Our reception building, paved walkway, gazebo and chair/table package makes the Olde House one of the most unique offerings for a small, boutique wedding in a historic setting. It comes equipment with air-conditioning / heating, 4 bay doors and tables, chairs, coolers and event equipment.
