Every love story deserves a set this good.

A hand-built barn, centuries-old oaks and a Biergarten strung with lights — on our family's land, for the weekend you'll replay forever.

The Origin Story

The first wedding here was ours.

This land used to be our garden. Our family cleared every cedar and raised every building with our own hands over 35 years.

In 1996 we said our vows in the backyard, steps from where the venue stands today. Then we danced under string lights in what's now the Biergarten and partied in the old party barn that's now our Bunk House.

When friends started asking to get married here too, we said yes, and we've been saying yes ever since. We were one of the first venues in what's now the wedding capital of Texas, so we know the vendors, the weather and every trick for a day that runs without a hitch.

Your Wedding Day

From first vows to last dance.

Outdoor ceremony under the oaks

Vows under the oaks.

Golden hour, filtered through live oaks, at an arbor built for exactly this moment. Rain plan? Your florals move inside to our willow ceremony backdrop, and the barn becomes a candlelit chapel in minutes.

The Biergarten (stand-in until the night shot is picked)

Cocktails in the Biergarten.

Festoon lights in the trees, two fire pits, a waterfall, keg taps and a double margarita machine. We danced under string lights right here in 1996, and the lights are still on.

The barn reception after dark under willow-sphere lights

The barn after dark.

Long farm tables, linen drapes and willow-sphere lighting for up to 250 — then the tables clear and the dance floor takes over.
