We had the best day of our lives at Magnolia Halle!!! We looked at about 10 different wedding venues and Magnolia was by far the best one we had visited. Magnolia Halle was beautiful inside and out. With in-house catering, setup and linens included in the price, it was perfect for our big day! Also, it is located in an area with lots of hotels nearby, which was extremely helpful for our out of town family and friends. We had about 150 guests at our wedding, and everyone fit comfortably in the Halle. Our guests said that they thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the short ribs. Additionally, Kryssi, the venue coordinator was PHENOMENAL. We booked Magnolia Halle for our wedding venue over a year in advance, and Kryssi was very responsive to our messages and questions throughout the entirety of that time. We were able to visit multiple times before our wedding to envision how our decor would look, and we really appreciate all of the help and attentiveness that Kryssi provided. She is very kind and wonderful, which made our experience of planning our wedding at Magnolia Halle seamless and fun! About a week before our wedding in March 2025, they installed a new projector and A/V system that we were able to utilize and it was a game changer. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue without the drive out to the hill country, Magnolia Halle is THE place! It was truly the best day of our lives.

The Milestone in New Braunfels was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue. They were constantly checking on us to ensure we got exactly what we wanted on our special day. Peyton was our day of coordinator and she really made us feel welcome and never made us feel like we had to do any of the work to have the reception go as planned. The quality of their work and overall value was beautiful - the venue looked stunning and exceeded our expectations. We were so impressed by the attention to detail and the way they went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and coordination. We highly recommend The Milestone to any couples planning their wedding and especially working with Peyton!!

The food was delicious and everyone loved the bonus late night snack of mini tacos and quesadillas. Staff was great and a big shout to Melida the event coordinator , she was so awesome and tremendously helpful to this anxious bride. Definitely want to have another celebration out here. Perhaps a wedding anniversary in a few years.

Our special day was perfect in every way. The Orchard At Spring Branch was the ideal spot for our small to medium-sized wedding of 100 people. It had all the touches of elegance and comfort. 2 of my guests described it well… “it’s sophisticated but not overdone, just the right mix of everything”. It had the Hill Country rural feel with longhorns in the distance, and the elegance of draping stairs into the Chapel. My videographer also said the Bridal Suite was probably one of the best he’d seen in a while. (easy to take shots without much staging). It rained on my wedding day, which meant fast thinking and alternate plans. There were many alternate indoor spots to take photos, and my photographs are lovely! We took photos in the Bridal Suite, outside of the Bridal Suite (Swing!), Groomsmen’s Cave, covered Chapel etc. Then as the rain calmed, we had breathtaking sunset shots! The reception hall was just right for our size, and had all the amenities we needed - we even had room to dance through the aisles for a first dance routine that involved our family members :) Due to the wet weather that day, we converted the covered Chapel into a dance area at the end of the night, and our guests didn’t want leave until the DJ had to shut it down. :). P.S. on a dry day, use the open patio area that has lounging chairs & benches overlooking the beautiful landscape. Rick & Hilda who own the facility care a lot and will tend to your needs to make sure your experience is memorable. We highly recommend "The Orchard At Spring Branch" for anyone looking to have peace of mind that your venue will not disappoint.

We got married at Geronimo Oaks in July 2024 and used The Creeks reception venue. It was absolutely stunning! From the moment we saw the venue for the first time, I fell in love with the Bluff outdoor ceremony site and knew that was where I wanted to get married. Its natural beauty, surrounded by greenery and with a woodsy, magical vibe, felt straight out of Twilight. The staff were incredibly flexible and worked with us to have our ceremony at the Bluff, then golf-carted our guests to The Creeks for the reception. The Creeks venue itself is gorgeous and perfectly accommodated our 175 guests with plenty of space. The bride and groom suites were fantastic and made getting ready such a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Both sides of our wedding party used the suites, and they provided the perfect space to relax, prepare, and soak in the excitement of the day. Additionally, we rented the VRBO house right next door to the venue, which was ideal for our large family. It gave us a convenient and comfortable place to stay while preparing for the wedding and also served as a great spot to gather and celebrate afterward. Jacy and Ali were wonderful to work with, answering all our questions and assisting us with everything we needed. One thing I truly appreciated was the venue’s flexibility. They allow couples to bring in any outside vendors, but they also provided a list of trusted vendors they recommend. Since Geronimo Oaks was about 2 hours from where we lived, their recommendations were invaluable, and we ended up using several from their list. The natural beauty of the location added so much to our day and made for absolutely stunning photos that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural charm, excellent service, and thoughtful amenities, we highly recommend Geronimo Oaks!

We recently had the joy of celebrating our wedding at this breathtaking venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the natural beauty of the property—rolling hills, sweeping views, and the kind of serene atmosphere that makes everything feel magical. The venue itself is impeccably maintained, blending rustic charm with elegance in all the right ways. It offered everything we hoped for and more, creating the perfect backdrop for our big day. The property itself is nothing short of breathtaking. Nestled in the rolling hills, the views stretch for miles in every direction. As the sun sets, the landscape is bathed in golden light, creating a truly magical backdrop that made our ceremony feel even more special. The combination of rugged natural beauty and peaceful surroundings created an atmosphere that was both romantic and unforgettable. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how incredible the scenery was—it’s the kind of place that makes a lasting impression. We were thankful to have our wedding party and immediate family stay the whole weekend to give us the time to setup our dream wedding. Having the hot tub, pool and game room access was just a cherry on top of a perfect weekend! The reception was held in the venue’s hall, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The space perfectly balances Hill Country charm with elegant sophistication. High, exposed-beam ceilings, warm wood finishes, and large windows that frame the landscape outside gave the entire evening a welcoming yet refined feel. The hall was spacious enough for dining, dancing, and celebrating, yet still felt intimate and cozy. The flow of the room worked wonderfully, and the acoustics and lighting were spot-on. It was truly the perfect setting for a night we’ll never forget. A huge shoutout goes to the owner Jenny, who was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Their passion for the property and for helping couples create unforgettable memories truly shines through. We also want to give special thanks to Greg, their property manager, who went above and beyond for us. His attentiveness, professionalism, and calming presence made everything run smoothly. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines stunning scenery, excellent service, and genuine hospitality, look no further. This gem in the Hill Country is something truly special.

Our wedding weekend at The Cedars Ranch was so unbelievable - surpassed any expectation we could have made. The team is the epitome of hospitality; our friends and family stayed for 3 nights, and we were made to feel so welcome and taken care of. The pool area, lounge, fire pit and event space were all so perfect for our weekend. The whole venue is designed thoughtfully, and every segment of the wedding day/weekend had a unique space for it. Our guests loved the pickleball court, pool table and fire pits the most. The geodomes and cabins were such a hit - clean and well designed and truly a one of a kind experience for our guests.

I got married at the Milestone in February. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! The venue itself is stunning!! The hill country is so green and gorgeous for photos. They have a little bridge over a pond that is adorable and the inside of the venue is so warm and inviting with a beautiful staircase. When you book with the Milestone you get a wedding planner as part of the package. Taylor was my wedding planner and she was AMAZING!! Not only was she so available for questions and helping me figure things out, she had lots of really helpful suggestions I wouldn’t have even thought about. Also she sent me a ton of really cute pictures/videos she had taken of me and my husband behind the scenes at our wedding. The wedding went so smoothly and the venue has the process down perfectly. I didn’t have to deal with anything going wrong on the day of. It was cold and drizzling on the day of the wedding and they were able to pivot so efficiently to move the ceremony inside and it still looked beautiful (plus we still took pictures outside)! The only thing you should be aware of is the venue adds a 20% fee to everything they charge you for. They’re upfront about it but it’s just something to factor into your budget when planning. I definitely recommend the Milestone!!

About wedding venues in Universal 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:

50 guests$19,410

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.

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.

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.
