From a beautiful gazebo, with amphitheater seating, overlooking a wet-weather lake, to a restored 100-year-old barn and a historic San Antonio streetcar-turned-bar, every detail reflects our family's story. The venue has lots of extras (at no extra charge) along with numerous planning resources that makes planning your big day a joy.

The BEST venue out there. Cannot decide which was more perfect -the venue itself or the people who own it. Michelle and her family are absolutely the best to work with. They truly go above and beyond for their clients and I can't even imagine getting married anywhere else. We wanted a hallmark Christmas movie vibe and they DELIVERED. Our guests got so many amazing photos (lots of profile pic updates da) just because of the serene beauty of the venue. They helped keep me calm and give hugs when needed on such a stressful day. Cannot recommend them enough! So blessed to be a part of the carriage hills family now!!!

Nestled in the Texas Hill Country amidst lush greenery, waterfalls and blooming flowers, the venue exudes romance and elegance! The venue is everything you need if you’re looking to host your family on-site leading up to your wedding.

The open air chapel area, adorned with stunning greenery and painted glass provided a picturesque backdrop that felt straight out of a fairytale. Absolutely Breathtaking! The reception space was equally impressive, with a spacious layout that allowed for both dining and dancing. The lighting transformed the space into a warm, inviting atmosphere as the sun set. We rented the Homestead for the morning of our wedding for all of the bridesmaids to get ready and I must say, SO worth it!

Elm Pass Woods Wedding Festival & Event Venue 

4.6

Center Point, TX
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

A woodsy wedding festival venue with giant Scandinavian Tipis for adventurous, outdoorsy couples looking for a unique, low-stress wedding experience. Elm Pass Woods was founded by Mike & Alex Haws (and 3 doggos), who actually got married here to kick off the launch of the business. We are all-inclusive and aren't about nickle and dime'ing couples with rentals of things. If you want it and we have it, you can use it. We have an ever-growing decor and festival option inventory that couples get to shop from as they plan their day. Plus we have an on-site woodshop where Mike makes everything we need to make your whimsical wedding in the woods happen! We are sentimental folks, and operate a very hands-on wedding experience, making sure every detail is taken care of.

  • Unique barn setting

  • No venue-provided food services
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic

Awarded Best of Zola
I must start by saying that the venue owners Alex and Mike are truly some of the kindest individuals I've ever met. As of now, they custom create a wooden item from the trees on the property for each couple to enjoy even after the wedding is over. Mike has made things from custom ring boxes to the couple's sweetheart table. The Scandinavian tipis aesthetic is unlike any other local venue. It very much fits both a rustic or bohemian feel. There are plenty of beautiful pieces already on the property such as the half-moon, the macrame, and the boat to mention a few. Lastly, one of my favorite places to photograph is the couple up on the ridge at sunset. It's a tiny hike, but takes preparation when it comes to your choice of shoes, but it's totally worth it! The venue never fails to surprise me every time I return.

I got married at the Milestone in February. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! The venue itself is stunning!! The hill country is so green and gorgeous for photos. They have a little bridge over a pond that is adorable and the inside of the venue is so warm and inviting with a beautiful staircase. When you book with the Milestone you get a wedding planner as part of the package. Taylor was my wedding planner and she was AMAZING!! Not only was she so available for questions and helping me figure things out, she had lots of really helpful suggestions I wouldn’t have even thought about. Also she sent me a ton of really cute pictures/videos she had taken of me and my husband behind the scenes at our wedding. The wedding went so smoothly and the venue has the process down perfectly. I didn’t have to deal with anything going wrong on the day of. It was cold and drizzling on the day of the wedding and they were able to pivot so efficiently to move the ceremony inside and it still looked beautiful (plus we still took pictures outside)! The only thing you should be aware of is the venue adds a 20% fee to everything they charge you for. They’re upfront about it but it’s just something to factor into your budget when planning. I definitely recommend the Milestone!!

Johnson City, TX
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space

  • Starts at $3,500

At Wrenwood Ranch, we didn’t just build a venue — we designed a modern industrial farmhouse that’s a blank slate for your vision. Most venues force you into their style and rush you out after 5 hours. We flipped that model. Here, you get a space that molds to you—whether bold, timeless, or something no one’s seen before—plus the freedom of time and onsite lodging. With 7 private cottages that sleep 18 adults, your family and friends stay steps away from the party. That means no shuttle chaos, no stress, no 6 a.m. checkouts. Instead, you get the full weekend: arrive the night before, relax, wake up on the ranch, and savor coffee with loved ones the morning after. It’s not just a wedding day; it’s a stress-free, all-in-one experience that feels effortless. Bottom line: at Wrenwood Ranch you don’t just rent a building—you secure a weekend that delivers 10x the value for half the cost of other Hill Country venues.

About wedding venues in Harper, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day. The state is home to countless venues that showcase authentic Texas character while still matching your personal style. Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in the Houston area offers a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience with tableside carving and a festival atmosphere your guests will remember long after the wedding day.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. 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.
