At Carriage Hills Ranch, our roots run deep in family, love, and the rich history of our Texas Hill Country land. Owner Christine grew up on this cherished property, where generations of her family created lasting memories. Inspired by those moments she transformed the land into a wedding venue filled with love and history. 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. Today, Michelle and the team personally care for each couple, treating them like family. They have a servant's-heart and love helping our couples that serve our community, such as military, veterans, and first responders. At Carriage Hills Ranch, your wedding isn’t just an event—it’s a heartfelt extension of our family legacy.

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!!!

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Unique barn setting
  • Provides event staff

Venue considerations

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

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.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding here this past August and we have NO complaints!! From our first meeting and tour of the venue with Jeff, he provided such a warm welcome and you could really tell that this was something they love doing and it wasn’t just a side gig for them. After booking, I was in contact with Amy, who handled all my million and one questions! From back to back emails to asking probably some dumb questions, she was always so reassuring and really gave us peace of mind throughout the whole process. Something that really sold us on this venue was that not only do you get access to the venue the day prior and day after (most venues we looked at only give you about 6-8 hours of access on the day of only) but also the fact that there are 42 cabins on the property for guests to stay at! We had the majority of our guests stay at the cabins on the property, which was such a convenience! Everyone loved being able to walk on over to hangout with each other. Jeanette and all the other staff we had contact with at the cabins were so helpful too! We even had the luxury of Jeff organizing a clay shoot for all the guys, on the property! This was such a great add on for the guys to just let loose and have some fun. The day of the wedding, AND the day prior, Jeff was such a huge help in being there for any questions that came up, letting us know where we can put certain items, etc! They were really all around amazing to work with and cannot recommend them enough!

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!!

About wedding venues in Hunt, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. 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.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for.

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away.

Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere.

Texas couples typically book their wedding venues about 16 months (or 457 days) before their wedding date. November stands out as the most popular month for venue inquiries so planning early is essential if you're considering this timeframe. This advanced booking timeline helps you secure your preferred date since popular venues often fill their calendars far in advance especially for prime weekend dates.

Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

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. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.
