Legacy at Wrenwood Ranch 

5.0

Johnson City, TX
  • Up to 215 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,300
  • Offer

At Wrenwood Ranch, we didn’t just build a venue — we designed a modern industrial farmhouse that’s a blank slate for your vision. Most venues force you into their style and rush you out after 5 hours. We flipped that model. Here, you get a space that molds to you—whether bold, timeless, or something no one’s seen before—plus the freedom of time and onsite lodging. With 7 private cottages that sleep 18 adults, your family and friends stay steps away from the party. That means no shuttle chaos, no stress, no 6 a.m. checkouts. Instead, you get the full weekend: arrive the night before, relax, wake up on the ranch, and savor coffee with loved ones the morning after. It’s not just a wedding day; it’s a stress-free, all-in-one experience that feels effortless. Bottom line: at Wrenwood Ranch you don’t just rent a building—you secure a weekend that delivers 10x the value for half the cost of other Hill Country venues.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Offers convenient lodging options
  • Dressing room available
  • Rustic yet refined style

Venue considerations

  • Does not provide event staff
  • Does not have a dance floor
  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space
From the moment we booked our wedding at Legacy at Wrenwood Ranch, the staff were incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure our vision for the day came to life, offering creative ideas and solutions every step of the way. The venue itself is a beautiful, versatile blank slate that allowed us to fully customize the space to our liking. We appreciated the all-inclusive packages and the quiet, private setting that gave us plenty of room to celebrate with our guests. The space was quiet, private, and offered plenty of parking space. Everyone loved the wedding and I also appreciated the flexibility with choosing out own venders! They thought of every detail, even the ones we didn't, to make our wedding day seamless and stress-free. We are so grateful to the Legacy at Wrenwood Ranch team for helping make our special day truly unforgettable.

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.

Hey! Local wedding planner here - so I do not take vendor decisions lightly, especially for my own wedding. Once we found Hill Country Nature Retreat - we knew we had found the perfect space for our wedding celebration. I knew I wanted something quirky, outdoorsy, and with on-site lodging. Marlena and Eugene checked all those boxes and more. They were communicative, helpful, kind, and welcoming. They answered all my questions and ensured we had everything we needed to host my dream wedding. The unique, handpicked details did not go unnoticed. The ceremony site is gorgeous, and there were may options of how to host the rest of the party. Anyone looking for a quirky and affordable venue option - this is the place. Absolute best planning decision that we made.

Allegro Wedding & Events Venue 

5.0

Dripping Springs, TX
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor & indoor

Nestled amidst the breathtaking Hill Country, Allegro offers a choice of stunning outdoor ceremony spaces as well as our charming chapel. Celebrate your love story on a scenic ridgetop, just minutes from Austin. With everything you need for an unforgettable occasion, Allegro ensures your Texas wedding dreams become a reality.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Offers full flexibility in setup and decor
  • Bridal suite on site

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Requires outside catering services
My husband and I found Allegro while searching for venues in the Hill Country, and Allegro had just reopened under new management. We scheduled a "sip and see" with venue manager, Amber, and absolutely fell in love with everything about it! This venue is awesome as everything is right there including bridal/ groom suites, some lodging accommodations if you need them, the chapel, covered cocktail hour space, and a large reception space. Allegro has everything you love about hill country, with lots of space, Texas charm, and natural beauty. Truly, the selling point was Grace chapel, where the natural beauty won us over. Amber and her team were fantastic throughout the planning process, offering us suggested vendors when needed, inviting us to open house/ vendor gatherings, etc. and allowing us to schedule an additional tour with our family who wanted to see the space as well. The Allegro team added a lot of really great options throughout our planning as well, including some decor pieces, greenery wall for backdrops, candle votives, and GOLD CHARGERS! It is also close enough to the hotels in dripping springs, so guests have options on where to stay. Pro tip: book blocks as soon as possible! Additionally, if you have a larger bridal party, the bridal suite is fairly tight for 10 people, so utilizing another space could be helpful. All in all, Allegro surpassed our expectations, and we could not be happier with how our wedding went back in October 2023. When I tell you to book this venue.. really, BOOK THIS VENUE, you will not regret it - with beautiful grounds and the most amazing team committed to making your wedding the best day ever. I am so thankful we came across Allegro and will recommend it to everyone! Side note: the venue is undergoing renovations currently which I think will somehow make this dreamy venue even more beautiful for future brides.

We have nothing but positive things to say about our time at Lucky Arrow. It’s been a little over a year since our wedding, and looking back as we write this review makes us wish we could do it all over again. To help give a sense of just how great this venue is, we’ll break down our review into a few categories. Location & Facilities: We were looking for something close to Austin, yet still felt like an escape from the city. From the quaint charm of Dripping Springs’ downtown to the stunning hill country views, to the modern cabins and accessible walking paths, it truly felt like we had traveled to our own private oasis. The main highlights of the venue—besides the cabins themselves—were the Overlook, Event Center, Beer Garden, trails, and the nearby Brewery & Winery (all within walking distance). The restaurant wasn’t open at the time of our wedding, but we’re sure it’s fantastic. We really took full advantage of the Beer Garden during our time at Lucky Arrow. We hosted a Halloween party there, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to decorate the space to fit the theme. It was a blast! We also hosted our wedding breakfasts there for all our guests, which made for such a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The only rule was to leave it as we found it—and we made sure to do just that. It’s such a versatile space, and we loved how it added to the overall experience. We could have stayed for so much longer and still wouldn’t have had enough time to fully enjoy everything the site has to offer. Our guests stayed two days on-site with us, but if you can swing it, we’d highly recommend three full days: arrival day, wedding day, and a fun after-wedding day. You’ll want to keep the celebration going—trust us! Accommodations: The cabins were exactly what we were looking for, and the photos online are an accurate representation. We wanted a modern and comfortable stay while still feeling immersed in nature, and the cabins delivered on that perfectly. Everything was clean, and surprisingly, we didn’t have any uninvited bug guests inside! Customer Service: One of the areas where Lucky Arrow truly shines is customer service. Every staff member we worked with was so kind and helpful. As you might expect, planning a wedding can be stressful, and it makes such a difference to work with people who genuinely care and take the time to listen to your needs. The biggest advocate for us at Lucky Arrow was Rachel Crocker, the Events Manager. She joined the team closer to our wedding date, and we’re so glad she did! This is the time when communication ramps up, and you’re bombarded with questions to finalize all the details. Rachel was incredibly prompt and thoughtful in her responses, which gave us confidence that everything would go smoothly on our big day. She really shined when working with our Wedding Coordinators to implement Plan B for rain, which involved coordinating the setup of a tent and adjusting the location of both our ceremony and reception.

Our guests raved about the BBQ from Catering by Mopsie’s and referred to our decor and vibe (curated with wedding planner Lynda) as “dreamy”.

Not only did my wife & I get married here (twice, thanks to the covid shutdown!) & have our son baptized in Star Hill's Chapel, but I've also worked with the Star Hill family as a wedding cake vendor for over a decade. I can say without hesitation that it's my favorite venue to work with & a consistently stunning backdrop for your most special celebrations. Matt, Adam, & Renee are so easy to work with & adopt every couple into their family. They're loving & genuinely care for their clients, which is rare in such a booming industry. On top of their good character, the pricing is fair, the property offers a wide array of charming indoor & outdoor options, & they make it easy to either hand-pick each of your vendors or receive vetted recommendations from their list of preferred vendors. Our wedding guests still talk about this amazing venue 3 years later!

About wedding venues in Johnson City, TX

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.

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?

Beyond your venue there are several other key expenses to consider when planning a Texas wedding. For a typical 150-guest celebration your budget will likely break down this way:
