We got married at Geronimo Oaks in July 2024 and used The Creeks reception venue. It was absolutely stunning! From the moment we saw the venue for the first time, I fell in love with the Bluff outdoor ceremony site and knew that was where I wanted to get married. Its natural beauty, surrounded by greenery and with a woodsy, magical vibe, felt straight out of Twilight. The staff were incredibly flexible and worked with us to have our ceremony at the Bluff, then golf-carted our guests to The Creeks for the reception. The Creeks venue itself is gorgeous and perfectly accommodated our 175 guests with plenty of space. The bride and groom suites were fantastic and made getting ready such a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Both sides of our wedding party used the suites, and they provided the perfect space to relax, prepare, and soak in the excitement of the day. Additionally, we rented the VRBO house right next door to the venue, which was ideal for our large family. It gave us a convenient and comfortable place to stay while preparing for the wedding and also served as a great spot to gather and celebrate afterward. Jacy and Ali were wonderful to work with, answering all our questions and assisting us with everything we needed. One thing I truly appreciated was the venue’s flexibility. They allow couples to bring in any outside vendors, but they also provided a list of trusted vendors they recommend. Since Geronimo Oaks was about 2 hours from where we lived, their recommendations were invaluable, and we ended up using several from their list. The natural beauty of the location added so much to our day and made for absolutely stunning photos that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural charm, excellent service, and thoughtful amenities, we highly recommend Geronimo Oaks!

The Milestone in New Braunfels was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue. They were constantly checking on us to ensure we got exactly what we wanted on our special day. Peyton was our day of coordinator and she really made us feel welcome and never made us feel like we had to do any of the work to have the reception go as planned. The quality of their work and overall value was beautiful - the venue looked stunning and exceeded our expectations. We were so impressed by the attention to detail and the way they went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and coordination. We highly recommend The Milestone to any couples planning their wedding and especially working with Peyton!!

Dripping Springs, TX
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services

  • Starts at $5,000

Canyonwood Ridge is a Hill Country Wedding and Events venue in the Austin area, located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Austin in the "Wedding Capital of Texas" of Dripping Springs. The 12,000 square foot venue sits on a ridge top wrapped in oak trees with scenic hill country views and was designed specifically for weddings. The outdoor ceremony site, as well as the indoor Chapel, offer planning flexibility and picturesque backdrops for a wedding of up to 300. The Chapel enables an indoor ceremony to protect against the unpredictable weather in central Texas, and is adjacent to our large Reception Hall, in order to provide a seamless transition from ceremony to reception. Canyonwood Ridge is unique and romantic with its dramatic views and Hill Country elegance, but maintains a balance of simplicity and flexibility for couples to plan their perfect day.

Canyonwood Ridge is an absolutely perfect venue. The hill country views are amazing, the venue is stunning, and the people are so easy to work with. The venue is perfectly set up and it makes any "Plan B" seem more like a "Plan A". The grounds around the venue are kept immaculate year around. We toured the venue in December and got married in May and the grounds at the venue were just as pretty in December as they were in May. The staff puts a lot of care and attention into ensuring the venue is beautiful both inside and outside. I would recommend Canyonwood Ridge to anyone looking for a hill country wedding venue.

Not only was the venue beautiful, but the staff really are the stars of this review. Kim, the venue coordinator was amazing to work with! She was accommodating, available, and such a fun personality to be around. The bar staff that we had serve during our wedding were amazing as well! They were quick and kept the guests moving quickly. Everyone raved about the wedding and how beautiful the venue was. I was scared I wasn’t going to make the venue very wedding like since it’s a distillery, but the space was gorgeous on its own and as a minimalist bride, I was able to include some touches that just made the whole venue stand out. Oh! And the drinks were AMAZING! Kim even went above and beyond by naming some of their drinks to match our names.

This was the second venue that we toured, and the moment we stepped out of the car, we knew we had to book this for our wedding. Every inch of this place tells a story and has an amazing vibe. Matt and Renee were a dream to work with. They understood our vision and tried to make any ideas we had work. It happened to be the one time in Texas it rained for our day (of course!), but it actually turned out to be stunning weather. They were so fast shifting between rain and sun plans, still accommodated what we had in mind while also ensuring our guests were taken care of. They have amazing connections with people in the wedding business, literally every recco we went with they provided was perfect. I still am depressed about the day being over because it was just that good. I will forever recommend this venue - you truly can't go wrong.

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and welcoming venue than Paniolo Ranch for our wedding weekend. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning grounds and thoughtfully designed facilities. The natural beauty of the ranch provided the perfect backdrop for our photos—we barely needed any additional decoration! Paniolo hosted both our rehearsal dinner and reception dinner, and both evenings were absolutely wonderful. The cocktail hours were lovely, and the service stood out in such a positive way—our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. The dining spaces were set up beautifully, with thoughtful details that made everything feel special and elevated. We truly felt like royalty during both dinners. The rehearsal dinner, in particular, was unforgettable—the steak was a huge hit with everyone! Judy helped guide me in making great decisions and took care of many details behind the scenes, allowing me to relax and fully enjoy the entire weekend. That level of support made all the difference. One of the best parts of having our wedding here was being able to have most of our family stay onsite. It made everything so convenient and added to the overall experience of being together in such a peaceful, beautiful setting. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready—it was spacious, comfortable, and ideal for having hair and makeup professionally done with my mom and maid of honor. Overall, we are beyond grateful for our experience at Paniolo Ranch. It was everything we hoped for and more, and we would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a scenic and truly special wedding venue.
