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.

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.

Our first vendor we hired and it was love at first sight, online and after our first tour! Elm Pass is an outdoor ceremony venue with 3 large tipi’s for the reception owned and operated by Alex and Mike and their little man, Theo. Here, it’s a Wedfest, not a wedding because they cater to all kinds of love. You have nearly all the freedom to DIY your wedfest, use their décor, and/or a combo of both. Alex was our coordinator for the day of and she was ON TOP OF IT!!!! Funny story, I made it through most of the wedfest having forgotten to remove the tag from my dress (which was hidden and underneath). When I noticed I asked Alex if she could remove it and she immediately popped out a small pair of scissors from her apron pockets and snipped it right off; ALWAYS READY. She helped us perfect the details and feel confident in our requests. From getting ready in the cottage, first looks with dad, the golf cart ride down to the aisle, the ridge hike after I-do’s, to the dancing, photo camper, nerf paint station, jeep photos, and bubble send off, this place is the absolute perfect venue for the best day of your life. I can’t go through every bit of perfection that Alex, Mike, and this venue hold because we’d be here all week. Major attraction for us was the short ridge hike to some stellar views…. Elm Pass Woods is HIGHLY recommended.

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.

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.

Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments.
