We had a relatively short engagement (about 8 months) and shopped for venues for a good while before deciding on Sunset Oaks. They try are the best for your money, so hands on and they are so transparent about their pricing and what they offer! Their decor closet is extensive! They had so much you can borrow for your big day for free and it was all actually cute/current things. The venue itself is beautiful not too rustic or modern a perfect canvas to hold your wedding day! We loved working with Coby she was so proactive and helpful and the big day went off perfectly.

Our rustic, elegant venue was originally a horse farm that trained champions. In 2018, we converted our main barn into a venue. We wanted our venue to have a look all its own. We mixed old wood, rustic hardware, & treasures with new things to create the stand-alone one-of-a-kind look & vibe this venue has today. When you visit, you will see old wood mixed with twinkle lights, chandeliers, & antique stained glass from old church buildings. Putting these elements together has created a gorgeous warm & inviting space. Our venue also offers an attached covered pavilion(with drop-down windscreens for inclement weather) & twinkle lights above. This is an excellent place for most of our ceremonies. We love having the bride hidden behind the big wooden doors that slide open for her entrance! This fantastic space doubles as space for additional partying as the night goes on! We are dedicated to ensuring your event is fantastic & will be on-site

I cannot recommend the Nest at Ruth Farms enough! The Venue Director, Calla and the Venue Coordinator, Gabby were wonderful to work with! They made the wedding day smooth and stress free. The venue is stunning and kept up! When I was first visiting the venue, they were re-painting to make sure it looks stunning for all events. They recently built a Chapel onsite which is a nice backup plan if you are wanting to get married outside and it rains. The bridal suite is large and absolutely beautiful to take pictures in. The Grooms suite is also a good size, and both suits have their own private bathroom. I loved working with this venue and wish I could relive my wedding day over and over!

There are also many beautiful spots to take pictures, including a swing and hanging picture frames. Also, the barndominium is beautiful to get ready in and the married couple is able to spent the night there after the wedding!

I’ve been to the ranch a few times and seen the progress being made to make this a wonderful venue. The setting and location are such that one gets a feeling of the openness and serenity that being in nature provides. My most recent visit was to celebrate the New Year. Arriving at the ranch, the lights and decorations were welcoming and celebratory of the season. Guests arriving at the ranch were whisked back in time, greeted by entertainers from the great gatsby era. Needless to say food and drink was fantastic and the evening (morning) was capped off with fireworks, celebrating the arrival of the new year. I’m confident that the owners and staff will make your “special” event one to remember.

From start to finish, our experience at The Hidden Jewel was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and beautifully landscaped grounds that created the perfect backdrop for our special day. We held our ceremony outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene atmosphere, and it felt like a dream come true. The sunset in the background made our wedding photos the most beautiful I have ever seen! The staff at The Hidden Jewel went above and beyond. Our wedding coordinator was professional, organized, and incredibly attentive. She took care of every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and we were able to relax and enjoy the day without a worry in the world. The catering was outstanding—our guests raved about the food, from the plated salad to the main course, and our cake area was stunning! The reception space was elegant, spacious, and versatile, allowing us to personalize the decor to reflect our style. Whether it was the twinkling lights on the walls or the cozy sitting area out front or tables on the porch for guests, or the Photo Booth outside it allowed our guests to mingle freely. The atmosphere was exactly what we envisioned. The venue’s attention to detail, from the perfect lighting to the perfect sound system, made our night truly unforgettable. Everyone was so impressed with the ease of having everything in one place. We can’t recommend The Hidden Jewel enough for any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and memorable wedding day.

Yvonne is just a pleasure to work with... very easy to talk to. Willow Pond Venue is an amazing new venue, with lots of flexibility. If the weather is nice, the reception hall has huge bay doors that can open up to the outside, with a beautiful view of the ceremony site and the pond surrounded by trees. There is also a courtyard area that is conveniently located right near the reception hall, and the other building with Bride/Groom suites. And the parking is right in front of the building, so everything is very close by with paved sidewalks, and that makes set-up and breakdown a breeze! I would highly recommend sending Yvonne a message and scheduling a tour to discuss your upcoming event.

I actually don’t have enough words to say how perfect our experience was at The Cinnamon Barn. When we first toured we were torn between this and another venue and after speaking with Prianna, we KNEW this was our venue. The grounds are stunning, the contingency plan put us at ease with the unpredictable Texas weather, EVERYTHING is state of the art, and I cannot emphasize enough how much we LOVED working with Prianna and crew!!! I’d book the Cinnamon Barn again in every lifetime.

WOW!!! My husband and I just got married here this past weekend and it turned out even better than we thought possible. The venue is located off a quiet country road but is very easy to find and access from the city. Donna and Rick (the venue owners and coordinators) have thought about everything, and helped us with items and logistics that never even crossed our minds. I really got to just focus on the present moment during my whole preparation and ceremony due to their well planned schedule and event space. I had the pleasure of getting ready in the bridal suite which is set-up beautifully, allowing us to capture some really sweet photos of my mom helping me with my dress and shoes. The outdoor aisle is placed perfectly, with a fence and gate system that allows the wedding party to all get lined up accordingly, while keeping the bride away from the guests’ eye until the grand reveal. The area was well shaded, breezy, and had plenty of space for many guests to be seated comfortably. Rick coordinated our music playlist over the speakers, with our songs to enter and exit to all being played at the exact moments needed. The archway at the end of the aisle had the most picturesque background, and we even got to go out in the wildflower field and enchanted forest for additional photos! Donna provided me with a wonderful vendor list that I was able to secure the sweetest photographer from. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I wish I had more events that I need this venue for and will suggest it for my friends. We had a small ceremony outside so we did not need to utilize it but the indoor space is very versatile with an additional archway, plenty of seating, space for a dance floor and the neatest fully sliding door walls leading out to a wrap around porch with panoramic views of the meticulously kept ranch. Book your wedding or event here if you are a reading this!!! You will be thankful that you did :)

Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.
