Scarbrough Haven

Scarbrough Haven is equal parts meadow, woodlands, walking trails, lakefront, nature preserve, and total mesmerization. It is genuinely a spiritual haven. The exclusive and secluded estate venue, which has been family-owned since 2007, is located 75 miles east of Dallas in Emory, TX. Our northeast Texas location spans over 800 acres and is divided into six unique parcels. A total of 65 acres are available for events ranging from small gatherings to huge gatherings. The Aurora at Scarbrough Haven event venue, an open-air chapel, a beautiful greenhouse, an art-filled tea room, wooded walking trails, and lakefront access to Lake Fork – one of the best bass fishing lakes in the United States – are just a few of the highlights. THE AURORA AT SCARBROUGH HAVEN This modern construction is based on an 1853 hand-hewn oak barn frame and features hand-crafted embellishments like shou sugi ban cladding and hand-bleached pecan floors. The interior of the building can seat 200 people. THE TEA ROOM AT SCARBROUGH HAVEN For afternoon teas, wedding, bridal, or baby showers, reunions, rehearsal dinners, or offsite work functions, this meeting area easily seats 50 people. The Scarbroughs have acquired art and souvenirs from all over the world to decorate the area. A spacious patio is perfect for outside seating, and the lawn in front of the house is perfect for tables and chairs, lawn games, or large group meetings. THE GREENHOUSE AT SCARBROUGH HAVEN This functional greenhouse was constructed in 2013 using reused materials from our property's demolished barns and buildings. Each side offers a unique perspective and will seat 80 people in a theater-style setting. THE CHAPEL AT SCARBROUGH HAVEN This floating chapel, which has no walls or a roof, is encircled by towering trees and a growing field of snowdrops, and is perfect for romantic forested outdoor celebrations. The chapel has a paved floor and can accommodate up to 80 people in a theater-style setting. The Historic Polegreen Church outside of Richmond, Virginia, which “commemorates the battle for civil and religious freedom in Colonial Virginia,” was the inspiration for this structure.
