New Braunfels, TX
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $7,000

I have always enjoyed European gardens, they are magical! My inspiration was the Gardens of Versailles located in France. I wanted to create the Fairy-tail venue for our brides to walk through, with elegant formal pruned shrubs, enchanting Juliette balcony to over look the 3 acres of gardens with 250 rose bushes. Old world architecture to give it that Cinderella vibe. The ballroom is all white with 3 crystal chandeliers, a white marble floor, with walls enhanced with the Bridgerton details to give it that simple elegance. The Mansion is where the bridal party gets ready with lots of space, large bridal & Grooms suite, large kitchen, 3 bathrooms/showers, and a beautiful spiral staircase. We also have Guest accommodations available, created in a small private French Village with 6 individual chateaus decorated in the French style of elegance. The Village has a large town square fountain, swimming pool with lounging furniture, BBQ & corn hull game and butterfly garden.

I still can’t believe a place this magical exists in Texas! When I started looking for wedding venues, I never expected to find such beautiful gardens right here in New Braunfels. It made me feel like I had been transported straight to the European countryside, and was everything I dreamed of for my wedding day! At first, I felt overwhelmed with all the planning, but Amy was truly incredible. She was so kind and supportive, offering amazing vendor recommendations that perfectly matched our style. The vendors we chose made the entire process so much easier, and I’m beyond grateful for the fabulous team that helped make our perfect day a possibility. When it came time the wedding day was so relaxing. We stayed in the little French village she had next door and it made everything so easy! It felt like there was nothing to stress about and I could just focus on the fun part (getting married!!!) Our photos look like something out of a fairytale, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue was. We will definitely be coming back to renew our vows in a couple years, just so we can do it all over again. Highly highly recommend the gardens of Cranesbury View! 3

There are many different venues within the Hyatt property, which made our 3-day event more exciting and gave each "party" throughout the weekend a special/unique feel.

We got married at Cypress Falls on Sept. 19 2020, and it was an absolute dream come true. From decor, to day-of coordination, to on-site accommodations, this is the smartest decision anyone could ever make when choosing their wedding venue. There is so much attention to detail by the staff and they truly embrace you in a way that feels like family. The property itself is incredible and makes for such a fun wedding weekend (or wedding week if you want to extend the party like we did). Our family and friends had a blast at the swimming hole, hanging out in the Tavern, and staying at the Lodge. There is so much Texas charm everywhere you look. The ceremony site is gorgeous and serene. The indoor/outdoor reception area is a perfect setup and the decor turned out stunning. Even when it comes to unconventional details, the staff is there for you in a way that is above and beyond. Many of our family members could not attend the wedding due to travel restrictions with COVID-19. We were able to live-stream the ceremony and reception to them all the way in Australia which is something we will all cherish forever. Special thanks to the staff who made it all possible... Lynnsey - You're a gem. Thank you for taking such good care of us and our guests, even the ones abroad. We are so appreciative of everything you did to ensure the success of our beautiful wedding. Casey - You were a pleasure to work with and you're amazing at what you do. Thank you for being the go-to person for so many things and handling it like a champ. Stew, Lisa and Sherry - Y'all are rockstars. Thank you for assisting us with ever-changing room assignments and being there for us at any hour of the day. We genuinely love you all at Cypress Falls! Can't wait to be back in Wimberley to visit one day. ~~ The Miles' 9.19.2020

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!!!

We secured Cedar Break at Howard Ranch as our wedding venue on 8 June 2024. We housed 42 guests between 10 cabins, the Old Bar N, and all 5 Airstreams. We held a pre-party in the Old Barn N, which accommodated all guests downstairs and on the balcony above. We reserved the Tobacco Barn for the ceremony to include a buffet-style dinner and plenty of room for dancing afterward. Due to the heat, we rented portable AC units and fans for the barn to keep the temperature down in the Texas heat. The 3-day weekend event was a success with no issues and no complaints. The staff went above and beyond to ensure all our guests, accommodations, and the wedding ceremony were perfect. Many of our guests said they want to return to Cedar Break for a personal getaway in the Texas Hill Country again. If you are looking for a wedding venue with onsite accommodations, this is hands down the place to get!

We cannot recommend Bella Nido highly enough for couples looking for an intimate and memorable wedding experience.

Camp Lucy was above and beyond in every way! The space was gorgeous, the staff was so helpful and friendly, and the experience itself was so wonderful. Our account manager Laura was always so helpful and very sweet and friendly, she helped everything go so smoothly and was super at communicating and answering all of our questions! The venue itself was beautiful and the perfect mix of outdoor-indoor spaces for our ceremony and reception. The bridal and groom suites were gorgeous, and our food and drink service that morning was wonderful. The Camp Lucy catering and bar staff were also phenomenal the entire night!

Absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Two Wishes! We chose the venue for the privacy and space it gave us (almost 200 people) and allowed us to bring our dog. The weather was perfect and we were able to have the reception outside. Between the beautiful barn and stunning outdoor area with dance floor/stage under twinkling lights, the night was so magical and exceeded all our expectations. The bridal suite was by far the best I had seen at any venue. It's basically it's own house with a big beautiful open room with lots of mirrors/chairs/outlets, perfect for a large group, and SO MUCH much natural light. Also has a giant porch with an amazing view and a full bathroom so we could shower. We also appreciated the flexibility of their staff and how accommodating they were. We adored the venue manager Janeen who was so kind and easygoing. They even allowed us to bring six adoptable dogs from a rescue group I volunteer with to our cocktail hour (on top of our own dog). It was so much fun and gave the rescue so much exposure. Hard to imagine many other venues that would allow this and we are so grateful!

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. 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.
