Lone Star Oaks – Lone Star Oaks truly thought of every detail on how to make your outdoor wedding magical. Follow the wooden path straight out of the bridal suite to a pair of antique, multicolored stained glass doors. As those doors open, you’ll make your grand entrance, continue down your wooden aisle, and say your vows under a canopy of 300-year-old oak trees. Other outdoor amenities include space for a cocktail hour, games and a covered pavilion all lit by party lights strung across the property and wrapped around the trees. Like we said, magical!

Hills of Lakeway – Looking for more of a country club vibe? The Hills of Lakeway is your spot. Get married on the clean-cut green lawn wedding site or overlooking the Flintrock Falls golf course and rushing waterfalls. Choose between two ballrooms: the elegant Hills Waterfall Ballroom or the rustic Ballroom at Flintrock Falls. Top your night off by enjoying the dazzling sunset and outdoor fireplace. Whether your wedding is intimate or grand, the Hills of Lakeway can accommodate the wedding of your dreams!

Milestone New Braunfels – This venue is where you’ll find that modern farmhouse style! This site features a strikingly rustic pavilion and altar seen at their Boerne location. New Braunfels, however, is a more intimate setting with beautiful trees accompanying the ceremony space. If you peek through those trees, you’ll gain access to spectacular views as it sits close to Canyon Lake. While the space might feel intimate, the venue accommodates up to 320 guests! The stone and pine wood accents carry into the reception halls where you can dance the night away with all your favorite people!

Jester King Brewery – At Jester King Brewery, you can indulge in authentic brews, enjoy unique dining creations and celebrate the union of a lifetime!
