About this venue

West River House is an homage to a Vermont covered bridge and houses an art collection to create a museum-like experience with breathtaking views over Lake Dunlap. A dining area under the covered bridge has 25-foot high ceilings and provides a Harry Potter feel with interiors of the bridge designed using original barn wood. Pass to the lake side of the house and there is floor-to-ceiling glass, balconies, patios, and vestiges of Mid-century Modern masterpieces. The venue features four luxurious suites on massive balconies, two kitchens to make any chef jealous and a spectacular sound system in virtually every room. A new 4100 sq ft patio cantilevers over the edge of the lake with a 40’x40’ tent included in the deal for celebrations and dining lakeside. Access to a 100’ dock brings your celebration to the water for boating, kayaking and fishing.

    Love West River House! It's like a beautiful modern day art gallery with the space for weddings. It overlooks Lake Dunlap for water views coming soon. Plus the venue is a glass house building so it brings the outside in. White walls & colorful arts pops adorn the walls, making this space such a great backdrop for a beautiful wedding. Many options for ceremony & reception locations including a turf green lawn & deck overlooking the water. Also back up plans in place for bad weather. You can also stay overnight for up to (10) guests so it's so great for bride & groom and parents or wedding party. This is a special find in New Braunfels, TX!

    My wife and I wanted to do a cheap wedding in the park but restrictions kept piling on, no glass containers, no open flames, no noise above a certain decibel. So in less than three weeks we had to find a new venue. It was well worth the money. There are a lot of other venues in the area but neither of us wanted to get married in a Barn. The venue is on the smaller side, but that's exactly what we needed for our small wedding. Our guests loved this venue. We kept getting compliments about how nice it was. You kinda of have to see it in person for yourself to get a feel for how modern and sophisticated it is. You can really tell the owner spared no expense. The host told me that ours was the first wedding at this venue. There was some minor miscommunication that added some stress to the planning stages, but the Day Of can only be described as perfect. It was the happiest day of my life. We had so much fun and so did our guests.
