About this venue

A wooded Texas estate made for unforgettable celebrations. Magnolia Bells is a one-of-a-kind wedding and event estate nestled among 18 wooded acres in Magnolia, Texas on Kachel Lake. Just north of Houston, the property feels worlds away—combining the romance of a timeless stone chapel, an enchanting ceremony setting beneath the trees, and a dramatic reclaimed-wood barn illuminated by chandeliers. With beautiful private spaces for getting ready and countless picture-perfect corners throughout the grounds, Magnolia Bells offers the feeling of a destination wedding without leaving the Houston area. Romantic, warm, and unmistakably Texas, it is a place designed for celebrations that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

    Perfect woodsy wedding

    This venue did so much more than most, they went above and beyond to coordinate my wedding and worked with my vision and paid attention to the details so well! I felt like I was in good hands with them. Everyone was so friendly. Their location is beautiful, we loved having the outdoor ceremony option! Even in winter the weather was perfect for an outdoor wedding, with such a woodsy vibe. Their packages are such a great deal for the quality you get. I am so glad we went with them! Also, you have to stay at their Lake Kachel Cabin the night before with your bridesmaids or family. It was so comfortable, very updated, and just convenient to have all my bridesmaids be able to sleep in and walk over to the bride’s cottage when we were ready to the morning of! Love these guys!

    We Highly Recommend

    This Venue made wedding planning easy from day one. The wedding coordinator is the sweetest, patient and so understanding. The whole venue team were kind and helpful as well. Our wedding day went smoothly. The Chapel is stunning and the Barn was chic and beautiful. Everything was perfect. Definitely go give them a tour and see if it’s the right place for you and your partner too. You will not be disappointed.
