Im not sure where to begin with our experience with Gruene Estate. From the moment I entered the property I knew this was going to be our wedding venue. The location - it is truly a little retreat that would wouldn't even know existed until you pulled in. You could drive by the place a dozen times and not even know its there. Its perfectly located 3 miles in between Downtown Gruene and Downtown New Braunfels. An additional perk is for family and friends. The Destination - It will leave you to want for nothing more. The chapel is even more gorgeous on your wedding day filled with the people you love, some flowers and your groom - THAT IS TRULY ALL YOU NEED. I did a big center piece in a rustic box as the focal point behind the minister. Minimal arrangements at the end of the first 3 rows in mason jars, and a the flower girl sprinkled some pedals. The reception area The farm tables, outdoor lights, and upside down basket chandeliers are very high quality and fit the location perfectly. ... Read moreIf you are worried about the farm tables DONT. They are heavy duty and something much like you would find at pottery barn or Restoration Hardware. Amazing quality with a rustic feel. Bathrooms are spotless. In the back is a great working place while prepping for your big day. The sound system is amazing. The amenities are all high quality. You really don't need to add much more when having your wedding here they provide so many things. The owners & Family who you will work with - They made our day perfect, worry free, handled things I had not even thought of, were very calm kind and amazingly gifted in working a venue. I truly can not say enough about my experience. My husband and I have already decided we are going to have an anniversary party here. I would not have changed one single thing. I have no regrets, no hesitation, and not one OHHH we should have..... Gruene Estate was prefect from the very first moment until our last.

I can't say enough about gruene estates ! I'm sure people are tired of listening to me go on and on about how BEAUTIFUL this wedding venue and surrounding property is . The pictures on the website are great, but viewing it in person will take your breath away. The Texas charm of this place is so sweet that it will make you want to find other ways to spend your time here than JUST your wedding day. We rented the venue for the entire weekend, fri-Sun. We stayed in the larger 3 bedroom house and used the cottage for my husbands mom and dad to stay in . Having the house was great for preparing for our wedding day. The houses are both so full of Texas charm and character . The decor is so comfortable and inviting ....we didn't want to leave ! I would highly recommend renting the houses . Katherine and Michelle were both such a big help to us during our planning stages of the wedding and the entire time we were there on the property. They helped out wherever was needed on our... Read more wedding day, and they made me feel very confident that everything would be taken care of when details were discussed. Katherine was very easy to stay in communication with, and always offered advise or help in our planning , this was a huge help since we planned this wedding while living in Florida . They have many good recommendations for catering, music, flowers , etc.... The decorations and all the beautiful lighting they provide for you to use at the venue is really all you do need out there. We added flowers to the tables and a few other little things, but they have gorgeous decor to use. We also did hire a band for the reception which worked out great! If live music is in your budget I would also highly recommend , gruene estates has plenty of room for one and a perfect stage that our band ( Darrell Goldman..out of austin ) seemed to think was a great set up. You can't go wrong with this venue ....it's really one of the most unique places I have ever seen.

The wedding weekend was lovely. This property is so beautiful and the managers were excellent! We could not be any happier with our experience!

As a DIY bride, I found this charming little chapel by chance while looking for venues within our budget. Katherine was very helpful, responsive, and answered ALL my questions. The chapel has beauty and charm all on its own. The only decorations we added were a few hydrangeas at the altar and a burlap aisle runner (which we donated to Gruene Estate for future couples to use). The venue has other decorations available for your use as well. They also have a portable sound system which we used the lapel mic for the minister and iPod/iPhone jack for our music using the Wedding DJ app (highly recommend to those with a zero DJ/Band budget like us). However, if your budget allows, I highly recommend renting the entire venue space for the weekend. I'm looking forward to planning many family gatherings here as well. Gruene Estate helped make our wedding day PERFECT!!!

Gruene Estate was the perfect wedding venue for us! It is a beautiful and romantic setting with lots of hill country charm. I had so many compliments from my guests on this venue, and even a couple of people who said they wanted to get married again, just so they could have it there! The gorgeous outdoor chapel sets the scene for an intimate and personal ceremony. And the reception area is amazing. There is a lot of flexibility in how you can set it up to fit the size and needs of your group. The wooden tables and chairs are very nice and we hardly needed any other decorations. It's got a great sound system and place for your caterer to set up. The bar area and dance floor were perfect, and the whole place is beautiful when it is lit up at night. The resident horse and longhorns were also fun to have nearby, and a few deer even made an appearance in the pasture that evening. We also rented the house and the cottage for the weekend, which I would highly recommend. Th... Read moreey are very comfortable and beautifully decorated, and it was nice to have the convenience of staying right there. The managers are very friendly and helpful. Katherine was super easy to work with and always prompt to answer questions and offer assistance in whatever way she could. I highly recommend this venue with no reservations!

I am SO thrilled that my husband and I chose Gruene Estate as the venue for our wedding. It was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives and the Gruene Estate staff and beauty of the venue had a huge role to play in making that happen. I can't even count how many of our guests told me that our wedding was the most beautiful one they had ever been to. Katherine and Nolan are extremely easy to work with and were always quick to respond to all the questions I had leading up to our big day. We also saved a lot of money because Gruene Estate provides so many beautiful decorations and allows you to pick your own vendors. They are also prepared for any and all weather conditions so, even though there was rain in the forecast for our wedding day, I wasn't worried at all about it putting a damper on anything. It really is a no brainer...pick Gruene Estate!

Gruene Estate is an incredible Venue for a Rehearsal Dinner or Wedding. We had my daughter's rehearsal dinner there. They provide all the tables, chairs and beautiful decorations. All we had to provide was the food, drinks, etc. The Venue is beautiful with an incredible setting for indoor/outdoor events. I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to have an event there and look forward to hosting another soon!

The staff at Gruene Estate are just as wonderful as the venue! And that’s saying a lot because the venue is amazing! They provided a ton of venue information (Including inventory count, table layouts, etc) and plenty of checkin calls prior to our big day. We never felt stressed or concerned. On the day of, they were very hands on and helpful. The venue itself comes with beautiful decorations, signs, candle holders and other items free to use if you want. We got ready in the bridal house and it was spotless clean and made for the most beautiful getting ready pictures. Overall, this is the most beautiful venue I’ve ever seen and I’m happy we chose this as for our wedding day.
