New Braunfels, TX
  • Up to 300 guests

I have always enjoyed European gardens, they are magical! My inspiration was the Gardens of Versailles located in France. I wanted to create the Fairy-tail venue for our brides to walk through, with elegant formal pruned shrubs, enchanting Juliette balcony to over look the 3 acres of gardens with 250 rose bushes. Old world architecture to give it that Cinderella vibe. The ballroom is all white with 3 crystal chandeliers, a white marble floor, with walls enhanced with the Bridgerton details to give it that simple elegance. The Mansion is where the bridal party gets ready with lots of space, large bridal & Grooms suite, large kitchen, 3 bathrooms/showers, and a beautiful spiral staircase. We also have Guest accommodations available, created in a small private French Village with 6 individual chateaus decorated in the French style of elegance. The Village has a large town square fountain, swimming pool with lounging furniture, BBQ & corn hull game and butterfly garden.

I still can’t believe a place this magical exists in Texas! When I started looking for wedding venues, I never expected to find such beautiful gardens right here in New Braunfels. It made me feel like I had been transported straight to the European countryside, and was everything I dreamed of for my wedding day! At first, I felt overwhelmed with all the planning, but Amy was truly incredible. She was so kind and supportive, offering amazing vendor recommendations that perfectly matched our style. The vendors we chose made the entire process so much easier, and I’m beyond grateful for the fabulous team that helped make our perfect day a possibility. When it came time the wedding day was so relaxing. We stayed in the little French village she had next door and it made everything so easy! It felt like there was nothing to stress about and I could just focus on the fun part (getting married!!!) Our photos look like something out of a fairytale, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue was. We will definitely be coming back to renew our vows in a couple years, just so we can do it all over again. Highly highly recommend the gardens of Cranesbury View! 3
