The Dream Ranch was an amazing venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were pretty quick to respond to all of our questions and communicated with us in a timely manner. On the day of the wedding, the staff set everything up exactly how we wanted it, and they even allowed us to stay longer in the gorgeous house the day before the big day.

Absolutely stunning and so easy to work with. The venue itself truly doesn’t need much décor—the chandeliers and overall style speak for themselves. The chapel is just as beautiful, and the on-site lodging was a huge plus. We worked with both Megan and Libby throughout the process, and Megan was our venue coordinator on wedding day. She went above and beyond and was incredibly hands-on. I would 1000% recommend them and hiring their in house coordinator to run your wedding day. (we hired externally and wish I just hired them)

Whispering Waters Ranch was such a perfect venue to photograph. I am Celaska, the owner of Celaska Childers Photography. As a Wedding vendor myself, I can not speak highly enough about this stunning venue and the exceptional experience they provide. Their communication throughout the entire day was great - they were thorough, organized, and provided me with all the details I needed. The venue was absolutely beautiful, with a charming, peaceful, and dreamy atmosphere that felt both classic and elegant. The staff was incredibly welcoming, even taking the time to show me around and suggest the best spots for photos.

Tuscan Courtyard is truly in a league of its own—nothing else compares! It was actually the third venue we toured, and we fell in love immediately! Still, as a couple wanting to find the perfect place to say “I do,” we left no stone unturned. We visited around 16–18 venues across Houston ( we have the spreadsheet w/notes) and its surrounding areas, yet we always came back to The Tuscan. Nothing came close! Of course, the property itself is stunning—both inside and out—from the beautiful grounds to the elegant bridal and groom suites. But what really sealed the deal for us was the unmatched customer service that Angela, the owner and coordinator, provides. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication set a new standard. Honestly, try to find another venue that delivers her level of excellence—I dare you. You won’t find anything close. Angela is amazing—thorough, detailed, and incredibly easy to work with. She’s transparent, never tries to upsell, and truly focuses on bringing your vision to life within your budget. Her add-ons are very reasonable, and her preferred vendor list is filled with trusted professionals who have consistently delivered the level of excellence every couple deserves on their wedding day. Choosing The Tuscan Courtyard for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. The venue was beyond beautiful, and the entire experience was seamless—it truly felt like our fairytale come to life. It was epic! Oh did I mention the beautiful waterfall in the background- (a must see in person) If you want to actually enjoy your wedding day, trust Angela to handle it all. Her communication is excellent, she listens, remembers every detail, and ensures everything runs flawlessly. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the venue’s beauty—many called it a hidden gem and said they’d love to book it for their own celebrations. And Angela? Everyone adored her—from our family to our guests, we heard it over and over: “She’s sooo good! We love her!” And we couldn’t agree more. My husband and I absolutely loved the Tuscan Courtyard- we can’t recommend it enough! We’re already dreaming about renewing our vows there and celebrating our 50th birthdays, too. Truly the next level you never knew you needed. Happy Wife, Happy Life October 2025 Couple.

Everybody commented on how lovely the venue was and we felt at home the entire day and night. Michelle is so helpful and welcoming to all who come to the property, and does her best to help every couple and their families feel welcome and at home while there.

I could not say enough great things about the Hideout and their staff. The venue was absolutely stunning in November with the changing colors of the trees. The rooms were clean and cozy, we had run of the whole venue and it created the most magical weekend for our family and friends. The only downside to the whole weekend we experienced was the planner you are required to use. On top of being very hard to contact and when you did chat she was often rude or short, and made it seem like she was often annoyed by questions I had. We had our wedding planned for a year and a half but thursday before we were supposed to have a rehearsal on Friday of she told me she just couldn’t get anyone “out to the middle of no where” on a Friday night for our rehearsal so I was very disappointed in that. Although she is the owner of the company so she was not the day of planner we got and the ladies who came from her company day of were absolutely wonderful. Dealing with Johnell with Clearly Classy events just added stress where it was not needed, but her staff and the staff at Hideout were so helpful when I did have these struggles.

The reception area is a step above. It is just a unique gorgeous hidden gem. I would definitely recommend it. I definitely appreciated that they had accommodations for those with disabilities . Our 10 year renewal was right before hurricane and they were so kind and we really had a beautiful time under pressure. They did an excellent job and I am so grateful. I can only recommend them 10 out of 10.

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!

A uniquely elegant and upscale ranch experience, nestled into the heavenly banks of the iconic Pedernales River in the heart of the Texas Wine Country, KRR is optimally located downriver from the Lyndon B.

Built by event designer to SAG Awards and Audi, our world-class amenities include an open-air terrace on the riverbank, climate-controlled King Barn, 4,000 sq. ft. cottage lodging/make-up/hair studio/dressing salon/private suite, 1/4 mile riverfront, fishing pond & pasture, friendly farm animals, ,site management, tables/chairs, ample parking, unparalleled views in every direction. This aesthetically, logistically flawless venue offers endless options of the finest lodging, dining, wineries, tourist destinations in the immediate area.

Wow, I am not even sure where to start with our review of King River Ranch! Absolutely everything was incredible! My Husband and I fell in love with the look and feel of the venue from the first moment we stepped on the ranch and met the owner David. He made us feel right at home and the venue was the exact place we had been looking for to get married! King River Ranch staff will even help you with floral design, vendor referrals, rentals, wedding decorations and make sure it is perfect for the best day of your life. They are experts in floral design and can help you make your wedding dreams turn into reality. The view from the ceremony site right on the Pedernales river was breathtaking. The whole place just has a magical feeling to it, The Barn, the ceremony site, the lawn areas….and all the beautiful animals that live on the property including the ranch horse King! The honeymoon suite is just beautiful, such a lovely place for the bride to get ready with her bridesmaids and for the couple to stay the night of their wedding. I could not have asked for a better venue to get ready with my best friends and it is a day I will remember forever. The groom and groomsmen have their own room to get ready with a TV to watch all their sporting events and can walk down to the Pedernales river to hang out with their buddies. My husband loved being able to use this ranch during the day! We also took our engagement pictures at the ranch which was so much fun, and I could not have asked for a prettier background for our save the dates. It was amazing to be able to meet our photographer before the day of our wedding and he also became familiar with our wedding site! People often ask us what the best part about our wedding day was and for both of us the best part about the day was dancing the night away under the beautiful hill country stars. We had several people come up to us saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and everything was so perfect. We highly recommend King River Ranch, David, and all his staff. They go above and beyond to make everything perfect for your dream wedding. We keep in touch with everyone we met during our wedding journey and so lucky that we stumbled upon this magical venue. Thank you, David, and KRR Staff, you made our day the most special day of our lives. Love You KRR! Jordan & Chase.

About wedding venues in Texas

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day. The state is home to countless venues that showcase authentic Texas character while still matching your personal style. Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests. Many Texas venues incorporate unique regional touches you won't find elsewhere; live country music that gets everyone dancing, mouthwatering BBQ stations and custom boot favors that celebrate local heritage. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for. The national average runs about $6,500-$12,000 which represents roughly 25% of your total wedding budget. Your overall wedding costs will depend largely on how many people you're inviting to share your special day:

Guest CountAverage Total Wedding Budget
50 guests$19,410
100 guests$32,365
150 guests$44,545
200 guests$55,433
250 guests$66,322
300 guests$77,211
In Texas specifically, venues typically account for about 16% of your total wedding budget with couples spending an average of $6,932. This gives you plenty of room in your budget to customize other elements of your celebration that matter most to you and your partner.

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away. If you're considering Houston, you'll find venues that thoughtfully incorporate bayou landscapes alongside sophisticated cosmopolitan amenities. Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere. Fort Worth venues perfectly blend Western heritage with modern conveniences for a uniquely Texan experience. November emerges as the most popular month for venue inquiries across the state, so you might want to plan accordingly if you're interested in this popular time frame.

How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Texas Venue?

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. Booking early also allows you to lock in current pricing before annual increases that many venues implement. Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in Texas?

Madera Estates in Conroe stands out for its commitment to accessibility with fully paved event spaces that accommodate wheelchair navigation throughout the property. You can host up to 330 guests here and the venue is frequently praised for physically walking through accessibility needs during the planning process. You'll also find excellent accessible options at Jennings Trace near Houston which offers single-level celebration spaces. Hummingbird Hill Weddings in Chappell Hill prioritizes inclusive design throughout their venue and The Preserve at Canyon Lake features wheelchair-friendly pathways connecting all major celebration areas. These venues ensure all your guests can fully participate in your special day regardless of mobility considerations.

Which Texas Wedding Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Bell Tower on 34th in Houston delivers exceptional dining experiences under Executive Chef Sergio Arellano. His international culinary team creates gourmet meals on-site that will impress even your most food-savvy guests. Food-focused couples should also consider Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin where you'll enjoy spectacular views alongside premium cuts of Texas beef. Cisco's Salsa Company near Tomball has built a reputation for their award-winning Mexican cuisine that adds authentic flavors to your celebration. Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in the Houston area offers a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience with tableside carving and a festival atmosphere your guests will remember long after the wedding day.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. 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.

What Wedding Expenses Should You Budget for in Texas?
