    The Perfect Day!!!

    Our wedding at Gruene estate was absolutely perfect. No notes to give! The venue fit my husband and I perfectly and we were lucky to have beautiful weather in December on our day as well! Everything ran smoothly and I was obsessed with how easy it is to decorate the venue with the supplies they have on site! The manager Melinde is awesome and kind, and our coordinator Sydney did an awesome job as well. We wanted a relaxed, and happy day and it was that and more! Thanks GE!!!

    We LOVED Gruene Estate so did our guest!

    Melendie at Gruene Estate, along with the owners, were so accommodating and thoughtful to my family and I. They played a big role in making our day more stress free and special.
    Our guest absolutely couldn't get over how amazing the venue was. We got married April, 29 and it was beautiful. We had 200 guest, all of which had plenty of room. We also had children that were entertained by the outdoor games, and our smores bar. The houses we got dressed in were also beautiful. We just loved the layout of things and couldn't have treated better.
    On top of everything else, Gruene is such a cool town, little did I know! This was a destination wedding and our guest and my Husband and I just couldn't have had more fun in Gruene. We did our rehearsal dinner at Grist Mill then danced at Gruene Hall after words. We stayed in local AirBnBs on the river (also perfect), and night of the wedding my husband and I stayed at The Casitas at Gruene, which were lovely as well.
    We're so happy for such a wonderful experience and a special wedding. Big thanks to Gruene Estate!

    Everything I Dreamed Of

    Gruene Estate was absolutely STUNNING! From the moment I saw the venue the first time I knew that it was where we were meant to be married. The team was also fantastic to work with and they made sure our day went off without any issues! We were also able to use their décor inventory and put that budget towards other things that made our day truly special. I loved this venue and couldn't say enough good things about it!

    AMAZING--Perfect location for wedding

    Oh my gosh...this place is magical!!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect. This venue is by far the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The wildlife, the accommodations, the view, everything was beyond amazing. Everyone was so helpful, and the wedding of our dreams was executed perfectly. I could not have dreamed of my wedding being at such a wonderful place. We stayed the night at the venue after the wedding, and not only were the houses beautiful, they were so comfortable and such a perfect set up. The event staff ensured the fire pit was lit, the chandelier was beautiful, the wildlife was out during the ceremony... I could just go on and on. I am so thankful that I found this place---to be honest--I wish I could just move there because it is that freaking stunning. I'm already thinking about vow renewals because I love this place so much and want to have another event there again. Melinde is great, the owner came to meet us and he was wonderful, and I just cannot speak more highly of this place!!!

    The perfect venue

    The most BEAUTIFUL venue. I don’t have a single complaint. Everything was perfect!! The people working for the venue made it to where I didn’t lift a finger!! If I needed a drink I had one in less than 5 minutes and if one of my babies were crying they would push them in the stroller. It was the most perfect day at the most perfect place!!!

    Best wedding venue!

    Gorgeous venue that gives a rustic feeling but can be decorated for any vibe! The staff are all amazing, friendly, accommodating, and most of all very organized. Our wedding went off without any hiccups & came out beautifully! All of our guests had a blast. Definitely recommend this venue 10/10.

    Perfect venue!

    Gruene Estate is absolutely beautiful but nothing beats the wonder crew the helps it all happen! They are amazing! You can tell everyone who works there truly wants to be there to help. They make a stressful day go by with ease, from making sure you are prepped to walk down the aisle all the way to making sure you don’t forget to eat! The venue will leave you and your guests speechless! If you are worried about the Texas heat ruining your special day, don’t sweat it! It stays at a comfortable temperature under the pavilion. Look no further!! You have found the perfect venue!

    Exceptional Location & Day!

    From the first tour walking the grounds with Melinde, our experience with Gruene Estates was exceptional. The property is gorgeous and is a must see in person. Having the wedding and reception in walking distance was great. The chapel is romantic and intimate. We wanted a small family affair for our wedding day and the staff made it happen. Special thank you to Courtney, our fantastic day of coordinator, who embraced our probably odd, relaxed and low-key attitude. She was like a part of our family. Seamless execution in our vision. Plus, we used some of the décor from Gruene for the tables and I loved being able to get ready in the house with my daughters and family. I could not be happier! I highly recommend Gruene Estate if you are looking for a Texas style rustic wedding! The pictures look amazing too! They have a variety of packages to choose from and various price points. Thank you Gruene Estates, Melinde, and Courtney!

    Covered everything we needed

    We held our event at Gruene Estate in November 2020 and were so happy with our decision! They were very helpful and quick to respond throughout the process as well as provided help on the wedding day with coordination. They were very helpful with the pandemic and provided everything we needed to continue our celebration safely. We would highly recommend choosing to hold your event at Gruene Estate!

    Effortless, Taken care of

    I struggled hard to find a venue that really fit everything I was looking for until I found Gruene Estate. During my first tour around the property with Melinde I know it was everything I was looking for. Melinde was so incredible from start to finish. She helped answer all of my questions along the way and she facilitated the booking process so flawlessly and with such care and support (not to mention during a pandemic!) After booking and being confident in my decision I was then supported by Carrie who was just as incredible. She continued my planning process and was available to answer all of my questions and provide support along the way to make me feel confident in the success of my wedding day. P.S - hiring Bash Events to facilitate the set up & break down is worth every penny! On my wedding day it was so incredible to step on property and know what to expect down to every last detail. The houses were ready on time, my vendors all arrived, and all details were done to my expectations. The property and houses were cleaned and looked fantastic on the wedding day. My day of coordinator, Courtney executed my event flawlessly and kept things moving on time and kept me informed as to what was next to come. She never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. I am forever grateful for the beautiful experience and wedding that I was able to have at Gruene Estate from start to finish! I am overjoyed at the memories that this venue & their staff will hold in my heart. They helped me create and execute the wedding of my dreams! Thank you Gruene Estate from a very happy bride and now wife!

    The best venue- hands down.

    Gruene Estate is the best and most gorgeous venue you will find in the Hill Country. The chapel makes for some gorgeous photos. The longhorns, horses, and deer were a huge hit with our guests. The overall look of the venue is absolutely perfect for any Texas wedding.

    The GE team was quick to respond to all emails quickly. They were accommodating when we needed to do a visit on a Sunday morning. The price of the venue includes tables, chairs, a ton of decor, and the services of a day of coordinator, Carey Millington. Because of the GE team and Carey, our wedding vision became a reality. LITERALLY- not one single thing went wrong on our wedding day.

    Another great thing about GE is that you can bring your own vendors. They do provide a list of vendors they've worked with before, but you're not obligated to use them. However, we did end up going with a few of their suggestions because they were great!

    Oh, and if you're wondering if you should stay at the historic houses onsite the night before or after you wedding, the answer is yes! They are super cute, clean, and the beds are really cozy. We were so happy to just walk through the fence and be "home" for the night rather than finding our way back to a hotel room.

    Everything was AMAZING!

    We absolutely love Gruene Estate! We fell in love with pictures before even going to see it! It’s even more beautiful in person. This wedding was out of town for us, I couldn’t see us getting married anywhere els. I was a little nervous planning a wedding over emails and over the phone not being able to be there but they were able to do exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t have imagined something more beautiful! Everyone was so amazing and helpful. The open air chapel was absolutely beautiful, Our friends and family haven’t been able to stop talking about the venue. We are so happy we got married at Gruene Estate!

    February 29, 2020

    We booked Gruene Estate for our February 2020 wedding, and it was the best experience ever! We loved that we were able to book the entire venue for the full weekend and have our bridal party stay with us the night before the wedding. We felt welcomed and catered to during the planning process, wedding day, and even days after. The staff, service, and communication were always timely and courteous. A few perks with Gruene Estate were the included decorations and wedding planner. They have a shed of multiple decorations available that you can use for your wedding day, free of charge. They also have an included wedding coordinator that helps plan your wedding day timeline, communicates with all your vendors for you, and is on site the day of. We highly recommend Gruene Estate!

    Best Day Ever ❤️

    I was blown away by Gruene Estate. The venue is beautiful and the staff was amazing. When we first met Nolan, he gave us a tour of the place and immediately followed up with available dates. His staff Carey, Courtney and Melinde were amazing and I couldn’t have had my dream wedding without them. The grounds were perfect for an outdoor wedding in early November. We did use the heaters in the pavilion to make the reception cozy and our guests LOVED the s’mores pit! Thank you Gruene Estate for making our day better than I ever thought it could be!

    Gruene Estate

    Absolutely the most beautiful venue in the area! Everything from the quaint open air chapel to the spacious reception space, and the historic bridal suite. I knew it was the venue of my dreams the moment I saw the chapel. The staff was so accommodating and the perfect addition to making our special day complete.

    Breathtaking Venue

    Gruene Estate is breathtaking. I knew from the first second I arrived that I would have my wedding here. It is absolutely beautiful and shows how great this area of Texas is. All of our guests complemented the venue and truly enjoyed all of the amenities. I loved the lanterns, votives, and all the decorations they provided. They are always willing to work with you and make sure your day is perfect. I would not change one thing about my wedding because this place create the most magical night for us.
