Elm Pass Woods Wedding Festival & Event Venue

Center Point, TX

A woodsy wedding festival venue with giant Scandinavian Tipis for adventurous, outdoorsy couples looking for a unique, low-stress wedding experience. Elm Pass Woods was founded by Mike & Alex Haws (and 3 doggos), who actually got married here to kick off the launch of the business. We are all-inclusive and aren't about nickle and dime'ing couples with rentals of things. If you want it and we have it, you can use it. We have an ever-growing decor and festival option inventory that couples get to shop from as they plan their day. Plus we have an on-site woodshop where Mike makes everything we need to make your whimsical wedding in the woods happen! We are sentimental folks, and operate a very hands-on wedding experience, making sure every detail is taken care of.

  • Unique barn setting

Awarded Best of Zola
I must start by saying that the venue owners Alex and Mike are truly some of the kindest individuals I've ever met. As of now, they custom create a wooden item from the trees on the property for each couple to enjoy even after the wedding is over. Mike has made things from custom ring boxes to the couple's sweetheart table. The Scandinavian tipis aesthetic is unlike any other local venue. It very much fits both a rustic or bohemian feel. There are plenty of beautiful pieces already on the property such as the half-moon, the macrame, and the boat to mention a few. Lastly, one of my favorite places to photograph is the couple up on the ridge at sunset. It's a tiny hike, but takes preparation when it comes to your choice of shoes, but it's totally worth it! The venue never fails to surprise me every time I return.

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!!

We loved having our wedding here-Candy and Jazmine are great communicators and delivered the wedding of our dreams. They also made it incredibly stress-free and were available if we had any questions. Even when it rained right before our ceremony, they were very quickly able to transition to plan B and our guests didn't even notice!

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day.

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?

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character.

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.

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.
