I had my eye on The Gin since they opened years ago. When I got engaged in March I saw they were running a special for remaining dates and just happened to have a few November dates left. My fiance and I instantly fell in love with the uniqueness of the venue and the people that run it. Laura & Jael were amazing to work with throughout the planning process and everyone was fantastic the week of and day of making sure the outside ceremony space was set up exactly how we wanted as well as the inside. We loved the flexibility to bring in our favorite vendors and as Aggies, what’s better than a wedding close to College Station?! I cannot say enough great things about The Gin!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at The Homestead. It definitely exceeded our expectations in more ways than one. Alexis and her team went above and beyond to make our big day special. The in-house catering from The Posh Affair was one of our favorite parts. Our guests still talk about it to this day as some of the best wedding food they have ever had. The bar staff were amazing and the bride and groom suites were excellent. The atmosphere of this place is truly electric. Our photographers loved this venue because of all of the beautiful photo opportunities. Alexis did an incredible job styling the place. This venue truly is one of a kind.

When my husband and I first started searching for a wedding venue, we knew we didn’t want something that was just for the day or night. We wanted a place where we and our closest guests could stay overnight and enjoy a fabulous breakfast together the next morning. Thankfully, we found this perfect venue. Tracy and Jennifer were incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. Jennifer, in particular, was so kind and accommodating, allowing me to visit the venue while it was unoccupied to do mock setups before the big day. This level of flexibility and support meant the world to us. I am forever grateful that we came across this venue. It provided the perfect setting for our special day and the warmest hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue that goes above and beyond

I'm overjoyed to have chosen Ashelynn Manor for my wedding on August 31, 2024. From the moment I met Pam at the Bridal Extravaganza, I knew I'd found the perfect venue. The stunning pictures and warm welcome sealed the deal. We pulled off our dream wedding in less than a year! If you're on a tight timeline and planning a wedding in six months or less, Ashelynn Manor is definitely worth considering. We started looking at the venue in March and had the wedding in August. Pam and Gazi's down-to-earth, personable approach made me feel at ease. Their exceptional customer service and all-inclusive package sold me. With top-rated vendors and seamless planning, I could focus on enjoying my special day. Ashelynn Manor's beauty and amenities exceeded expectations. The venue's decorations were perfect, and I loved the photo booth, 360, and fireworks – our guests raved about them! Pam's outgoing personality, family-oriented approach, and availability for questions made planning stress-free. I highly recommend Ashelynn Manor for an unforgettable wedding experience. Thank you, Pam, Gazi, and the Ashelynn Manor team, for making my dream wedding a reality!
