Jennings Trace

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Montgomery, TX
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Nine wooded acres just outside Houston set the stage for Jennings Trace, a contemporary wedding venue built on clean lines and confident restraint. Vows happen inside the glass-enclosed Wildrose Chapel, where polished concrete floors, black steel beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding forest instead of blocking it out, letting natural light do the heavy lifting. That same modern sensibility, punctuated by sculptural accents and architectural precision, carries into the reception hall, while an outdoor lounge lit for cocktail hour extends the evening beneath the open Texas sky. Nothing here feels dated or over-decorated; every surface reads intentional. Hosting up to 350 guests, Jennings Trace pairs sleek, contemporary design with genuine natural surroundings, making it the contemporary wedding venue of choice for couples who want their celebration to feel unmistakably current, polished, and completely of the moment.

The Carriage House 
Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)
Conroe, TX
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Just minutes from The Woodlands, The Carriage House settles into Conroe, Texas as a garden wedding venue built around choice as much as scenery. Couples exchange vows either outdoors, in a garden ceremony space overlooking the tranquil pond, or indoors, in a classic white chapel behind its signature red door, where white wooden walls, wooden pews, and natural light keep the mood timeless rather than fussy. Cocktail hour moves to a shaded patio, where the venue's sip-tini bar trailer pours something colorful while guests mingle before the reception. Around the grounds, a whimsical greenhouse, lush gardens, a vintage rope swing, and a classic red pickup truck all double as photo backdrops, giving portraits plenty of character beyond the ceremony itself. As a garden wedding venue hosting up to 250 guests, The Carriage House gives couples two distinct ceremony settings and no shortage of picturesque corners to make the day feel entirely their own.

“Iron Manor by Walters Wedding Estates provided an incredible space for our wedding day. The venue was elegant and modern, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. While the communication from the venue staff was sometimes great, Jillian, the day-of coordinator, took care of everything seamlessly. From the 4-5 month mark to the day, I didn't have to worry one bit about timing or logistics, as she ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish. The value we received for the space was incredible, and we're so grateful to the Iron Manor team for helping make our wedding day truly special.”
