The Charmadillo was the perfect venue for me! I wanted a space surrounded by nature that would provide an authentic and unique Hill Country experience for my guests, which of course included lots of live music. The stage sits under the most beautiful oak trees which provided a perfect backdrop for the ceremony and lots of live music to follow for my festival inspired wedding. The golden hour at this spot is unreal. We did a multi-day buyout which allowed us to make use of the commercial kitchen for a private chef for the rehearsal dinner, we had a spot for a food truck for late night bites at the reception, and plenty of space for all sorts of activities in between. The 7 cabins, yurt, RV, and tent camping space allowed me to spend so much quality time with my loved ones - many of whom traveled from out of state. Plus I was barely had to go anywhere which was a huge luxury. I was worried about getting ready there, since the restrooms are shared and don’t have a lot of natural light, but Sarah was super accommodating and I was able to create a perfect getting ready spot in the den that I had my bridemaids flip during the reception for the late night dance party. I also loved there was a very natural spot for a rain plan that didn’t require extensive tent rentals. The Charmadillo is the perfect combo of peaceful, down to earth nature vibes mixed with some really really nice retreat like amenities - stunning views, comfortable beds, a literal sauna, and everything is so well taken care for and clean. PLUS wildflowers!! Sarah’s communication style is very responsive and reassuring. She was also super open minded to my crazy ideas - like having fire dancers at the reception and the late night dance party in the den! If you are looking for a unique wedding venue surrounded by nature with all the amenities your guests could need, I highly recommend the Charmadillo.

The team at River Yurt Village was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always punctual, calming and easy, making the planning process a breeze. The value they provided was truly outstanding - they set up all of our tables, chairs and even executed our vision of having drapes in the outdoor ceremony building, going above and beyond to make our day perfect and exactly how I envisioned it! The bonus of having a place for our whole family to stay the night in the gorgeous yurts was awesome for our out-of-town and close friends and family. My whole bridal party stayed in one yurt, while my husband's groomsmen stayed in another - it was so convenient and made the whole weekend feel like a special getaway! We couldn't be happier with the service and quality we received from River Yurt Village, and would recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Legacy at Wrenwood Ranch 

5.0

Johnson City, TX
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • 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.

I recently attended a wedding of a dear friend at the Legacy Venue near Johnson City. What a beautiful venue! So much room, great acoustics and such openness. The clean white walls gave the bride room to express herself with her colorful decor. One thing I truly loved was the bride’s room upstairs….a very comfortable and accommodating lounge-type dressing room for the bride and her attendants! The owners really thought of everything when they planned this! The classiness of this venue was perfect for this beautiful wedding. Would I recommend this place to others? In a heartbeat!! The Legacy!!

From the moment we saw a picture of Walden Retreats, we were in love with the place. Our first visit with Tim (who is no longer there, sadly) was incredible, and the entire process from booking to the big day was seamless. Tim made everything so easy, answering all of our questions with patience. After his departure, we had the pleasure of working with Amber, who was equally amazing. She kept everything on track and communicated with us every step of the way. The entire team, including the owners, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home from the very beginning. On our wedding day, the weather was perfect—chilly but sunny—and the views were absolutely stunning. It was the perfect backdrop for photos, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue. We also had guests stay in the yurts, and they were beyond happy with their accommodations. The fact that Walden Retreats is dog-friendly was an added bonus—our dogs didn’t want to leave after such a wonderful weekend! We can’t wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary here. Highly recommend Walden Retreats for anyone looking for a beautiful, serene venue with exceptional service.

You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day.

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?

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.

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.
