Stone Crest Venue® is positioned atop one of Collin County's highest elevations, with views of miles of rolling landscape. We are a lodge-like, modern, industrial venue on 20 acres that is unique to the area because it has a Hill Country flavor to it. It is 38 miles north of Dallas and only 5 minutes from Historic McKinney, TX, and is located in the little community of New Hope. We provide everything you need for a memorable and special occasion, whether it's a wedding, corporate meeting, graduation, birthday, or anniversary party. Stone Crest® is a 60' x 120' reception hall with beautiful surrounds, elaborate features, and substantial reclaimed wood for a lodge-like feel. Bring 30 or 275 of your closest friends or family members; whatever your guest list requirements are, we can accommodate you. No of the occasion, your whole guest list and all honorees will like our breathtaking landscapes and exquisite décor. You also have the option of selecting your own vendors in Stone Crest. If you're just getting started and need contacts, we offer a vendor list you can look through for services like photography, catering, coordinators, entertainment, and a photo booth. “Where did you acquire your interior barn wood?” we are frequently asked. Josh Brehmar was the source of our lovely barn wood (contact info below). He's located in Texas, but he traverses the country in search of barns with history and character. The history information he gave us on the two Wisconsin barns where we bought the wood for Stone Crest is below. One of the barns used to be a dance club, which is hilarious because it gets to continue providing entertainment for over a century... Stone Crest is what it is now. Stone Crest® is the ideal location for a memorable wedding ceremony and celebration. While they wait for you to make your way down the path to our gazebo, your guests will be seated among the gorgeous trees and views. Chandeliers, flowers, cloth, or nothing at all can be used to decorate the gazebo. Stone Crest's attention to detail, both inside and out, means you won't need much in the way of décor.

Poco Fiasco is the latest escape the ordinary restaurant concept from Harwood Hospitality. Born from a need for a good martini and a slice of pizza, Poco Fiasco is a rowdy yet refined environment perfect for quick lunch, date night, night cap, or a long night out with friends. The lively spot brings elevated pizza combinations to Dallas as well as a robust martini program. Guests can look forward to foldable slices and crispy outer crust, the best martinis in town, and interiors that are a clash of relaxed sophistication and rowdy elegance. ABOUT THE SPACE The design from Harwood Design Factory has a refined playfulness yet is undoubtedly alluring and mischievous. Harwood International collaborated with Artist Uprising to create a whimsical, cheeky ceiling mural art paper that brings Poco Fiasco to life. Artist Uprising is a Dallas-based organization connecting up-and-coming artists with corporations and dedicated to enabling creativity to shape culture for the better. The mural depicts a feverish party turned fiasco combining favorite Harwood moments throughout the District. A few Harwood motifs are illustrated including Harwood Arms and Magnolias: Sous Le Pont as well as signature Harwood District design aspects such as the blue tree from Te Deseo, life-size chess board from Marie Gabrielle, the Rolex building and a few samurai to represent the Barbier-Mueller Samurai Collection. Just like the restaurants in Harwood, the interiors will transport you to another place and time miles away, yet conveniently tucked under an office tower.
