My husband and I had the absolute joy of getting married at The Shire, and we couldn’t have imagined a more magical experience! We planned a Lord of the Rings–themed wedding, and this venue was the perfect setting to bring our fantasy to life. Nestled near the national park in Huntsville, TX, the natural beauty surrounding The Shire made it feel like we were truly stepping into Middle-earth. All our guests dressed in costume—from hobbits to elves to wizards—and the venue embraced our vision completely. The atmosphere was enchanting, whimsical, and so unique. We had so much fun, and our guests are still talking about how unforgettable the day was! Autumn, our coordinator was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process. If you're looking for a place that feels magical, peaceful, and tucked away in nature, this is the venue for you. Whether you're doing a themed wedding or just love a rustic, enchanted setting, we 100% recommend The Shire. It was everything we dreamed of—and more! Thank you for helping make our wedding day feel like it was written in the stars (or by Tolkien)! — Kritsana & Jerry

We had a relatively short engagement (about 8 months) and shopped for venues for a good while before deciding on Sunset Oaks. They try are the best for your money, so hands on and they are so transparent about their pricing and what they offer! Their decor closet is extensive! They had so much you can borrow for your big day for free and it was all actually cute/current things. The venue itself is beautiful not too rustic or modern a perfect canvas to hold your wedding day! We loved working with Coby she was so proactive and helpful and the big day went off perfectly.
