I recently had the pleasure of having our a wedding at La Bonne Vie Ranch, and I must say, it was a truly magical experience. 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. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive ensuring everything was in order. 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! The Homestead is absolutely gorgeous and extremely spacious. 10/10 recommend adding to your package. Overall, La Bonne Vie Ranch is an exceptional choice for any couple looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding venue!

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!!
