The Gardens of Cranesbury View Reviews

Amy was not only so professional and helpful, her background in planning made it so much easier to plan and handle our wedding. She was always cheerful and positive. In addition the venue is so gorgeous that it made decorating less overwhelming. The guests loved so much they took pics for themselves to make as pfp

My wife and I had our wedding at The Gardens in late April 2023 and had a fantastic experience both staying in the Chateaus on the grounds, enjoying the beautiful grounds and amenities, and the main event space. Amy is communicative, very knowledgeable and kind, and even welcomed us and some of our guests the day we arrived on-site! The venue is absolutely gorgeous with a nice variety of spaces for people to explore and enjoy. To speak to Amy's responsiveness, we had a crazy heavy rain and thunderstorm the evening before our wedding which led to one of the windows in a chateau leaking--most of our guests were Texans well familiar with pouring rain, so we set some towels down, let Amy know, and kept celebrating! Amy and her staff were there first thing in the morning refinishing the window. We loved staying in the chateaus and are so grateful that we could enjoy this stunning, well-considered space with such a warm host. Thank you so much!

This was the first venue that we visited and Amy set the bar so high that the rest of the venues that we visited that same day did not compare. She is so sweet and very helpful with the planning process on top of providing such a beautiful venue. Amy also introduced me to our wedding planner after our first wedding planner quit on us at the start of the pandemic, which I am so very grateful. We loved the French themed gardens and buildings, and our guests complemented us on such a beautiful wedding venue. She was also very accommodating and understanding especially when we had to reschedule our wedding date due to the height of the pandemic. It was such a stressful time and Amy took care of us and we really appreciate her. I highly recommend This venue for your dream wedding.

My wife and I were looking for a venue in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area that didn't have a rustic theme. We found a few places but ultimately visited with Amy at the Gardens and fell in love with her and her amazing venue. She's extremely passionate about her venue and hosting weddings and it really shows. The European styling set in the Texas hill country make this place romantic, intimate, and a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding. Amy gave us a list of her recommended vendors and she nailed it on every one. Almost all of our vendors were from her list and our wedding turned out AMAZING!!! We can't thank her enough for providing us the most amazing wedding experience we could imagine. My wife and I both agree our wedding here exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a place to have an amazing wedding go visit the Gardens... I guarantee you'll love it!!

I loved the Gardens of Cranesbury View for my wedding! Amy has done such an awesome job creating the most beautiful space. She also is so kind and thoughtful. She loves what she does and it shows in her work. I felt instantly comfortable with her. She makes you feel like a friend and not just another person getting married at her venue.
Ps there are also chickens and it’s so fun!

I honestly don’t know where to begin to talk about how absolutely fantastic it was to work with Amy and having my daughter’s wedding at this venue this past weekend. Forgive me if my thoughts seem all over the place... it was just that great of an experience!!! We were the first family to AirBnB the Bridal House and it was worth every penny. My daughter and I met Amy at Bridal Expo back in Jan of 2020 and made an immediate connection with her and once we toured the venue my daughter didn’t want to look anywhere else. The AirBnB house sleeps 20 and offered enough sleeping rooms for the entire bridal party and a few family members. All of the beds were queens or larger. Everything was clean and organized fully stocked linens and towels! Amy even left champagne, orange juice and eggs in the fridge for us. The convenience of being able to stay on-site for the weekend pays for itself. Our coordinator was able to do a lot of pre-decorating on Friday night, our bridal party didn’t have to have hotel rooms or rental cars. As a Mom my heart and mind was at ease because no one was driving home late after the reception was over. Amy’s attention to detail is impeccable. There was never a time that she wasn’t available to answer our questions or concerns during the last 12 months of planning. Even in the midst of COVID she reassured us along the way even having security on the ready taking temperatures before entry. And keeping with CDC guidance along the way. My husband was so happy with everything that he’s considering using the venue again for his upcoming Military retirement. It was very evident to us from jump that Amy loves God and loves people. Her passion for this industry shines through throughout the venue and the Bridal House. We didn’t have to leave the property at all until it was time to check out. If you’re looking for a venue that truly has everything... look no further. Amy has become like family to us now and we are so grateful to have made the connection with her. All of our family and friends were throughly impressed with The Gardens of Cranesbury View. The great experience of this past weekend will forever be solidified in our hearts. ♥️♥️♥️

Absolutely stunning setting for our wedding, could not have been happier! When we first visited TGCV we were immediately taken with the grounds and how lovely and well maintained the gardens were. We were determined to stick to our budget and Amy helped us select a wedding date and day that would meet our pricing, and gave us a list of vendors to use--all of whom were professional and reasonably priced. After a lot of searching and price checking, we booked Amy for her coordinating services as well which was really the key to how exceptional our day was. We were able to drop items/decorations off early to alleviate same day stresses, she asked for our vision on the things we were specific about and used her years of experience to fill in the rest and perfectly captured the feeling we wanted for our day. We had a large wedding party but she was still able to move quickly and professionally through the rehearsal with our rowdy crew. The wedding day went like literal clockwork and it was breathtaking to see the stunning grounds set up in the way my fiance and I had imagined. Every detail was tended to which made our day completely carefree and Amy kept things running smoothly. Our guests absolutely loved being able to tour the gardens throughout the evening. I can't possibly recommend this venue or this vendor as highly as they deserve, by the time your wedding day is done you will know just as we did that this was the best decision you could've made!

When we visited the Gardens of Cranesbury View for the first time, we instantly knew this was the venue for us! Everything about the gardens is absolutely beautiful. I love how the entire venue displays the beauty of God's creation. I also love the European style set in the Texas hill country. Even one of our guests from Italy said it was the most beautiful wedding venue he has ever seen! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect, even in the midst of a pandemic! We chose Amy as our wedding coordinator as well, and she did an amazing job creating the wedding of our dreams. Because of her we didn't have to worry about all the little details; she took care of everything so we wouldn't have to! I feel so blessed we had Amy's expertise, and I'm so thankful we chose the Gardens of Cranesbury View!

The Gardens of Cranesbury View is an amazing venue and it was the perfect setting for our wedding and reception. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our outdoor ceremony was, how wonderful the suggested vendors were, and how much fun they had in the gardens. This is all thanks to Amy and her team!

The venue has recently finished large renovations since we booked our date and all changes were for the best! Groomsmen now have the entirety of the lower floor in the main house, while the bride and bridesmaids have their run of the top level (including the balcony). The ceremony site has also been given some TLC, with a walkway and surrounding greenery. Additionally, Amy offers many decorations for rent, a concise and helpful list of vendors, tips and tricks to best use her venue, and complimentary roaming chickens. :D

Amy truly cares about her venue and desires to improve upon it with each and every booking. She lives and breathes weddings, so be ready to match your excitement to hers! You’ll be glad to have Amy on your side and to have this amazing piece of Texas hill country in your memories.

Thank you for everything!

My husband Campbell and I got married at this venue in mid-December , and it is absolutely stunning! It was so beautiful that some of our guests took their Christmas card photos here while waiting for the ceremony to start LOL. Amy (the owner) made us feel seen and known as a couple, and worked hard to create such a special day. Instead of feeling like just another number cycled through the venue, we felt truly loved and celebrated. She is personable and genuine, two character traits that can be rare to find in the wedding industry.

Not only did we have the pleasure of having our wedding at her venue, but we also booked Amy as our wedding coordinator and florist. Since horticulture is Amy’s specialty, the flowers were AMAZING and are still alive in my kitchen long after the wedding. As a coordinator, Amy made sure the day ran smoothly and was thoughtful enough to schedule in time for my husband and I to celebrate alone in the bridal suite. During the reception, she also gave us plenty of time to eat (which hardly ever happens at a wedding). She was a fierce protector of our time and made sure we weren’t bothered at all by communicating with the other vendors on our behalf. Campbell and I are so grateful for Amy, and couldn’t have imagined the day without her!

Our wedding at The Gardens of Cranesbury View was a dream! We got so many compliments on the beautiful gardens and romantic feel of the venue. Amy took care of everything and kept the whole day running smooth. My family and I didn't have to stress or worry, she made sure everything was perfect. We are so grateful to her and her team. Our wedding day felt like a fairytale. We are so happy we choose The Gardens of Cranesbury View for our day!

Beautiful venue!! The lighting was very romantic.

Amy takes amazing care of her clients. My guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, and my mother commented on how everything during the wedding went smoothly because she was our wedding coordinator.
She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was set up correctly for the wedding. At our 30 day meeting, she asked a lot of questions that I forgot to think about for the wedding, like appetizers during cocktail hour!
She also took time to set up the decorations beautifully, just the way that I wanted it. She's very detail oriented, responsible, and overall just "on top of everything".
Furthermore, she's a local business that supports and recommends other local businesses around New Braunfels/San Antonio areas. I recommend her venue to the fullest.

This place is perfect, my personal style didn't match the traditional styles the venues of texas have to offer. The gardens of cranesbury view however was exactly what I was looking for.

We didn't even look anywhere else. We were blown away with this venue and also blown away with the owner, Amy. You could see how passionate she was about her venue and also passionate about making our day special. This is a special place tucked in New Braunfels, and different than the traditional wedding venues in San Antonio and surrounding areas.

All my gratitude to The Gardens of Cranesbury View for the beautiful venue and to Amy, the owner and our 30-day coordinator, for being on top of everything we needed and wanted. I can't say enough about her passion for what she does and her ability to make our dreams come true.

Amy and hunter did fabulous the day of the wedding. Everything was set up and they had everything in order. Things ran smoothly and they do everything they can to prevent stress on the bride and groom. As for the venue itself it is breath taking. It is a beautiful European inspired garden that wows. I would recommend this venue for your big day!

Where to begin. Mrs Amy is such an amazing coordinator. You feel like you are apart of her family with the hospitality she provides. I felt like we were in great hands the entire process. I love plans and timelines and to have her on the same page, was fantastic. She is always upbeat and happy but very professional. Her gardens are spectacular and the rose bushes were in bloom on our wedding day. If you’re lucky, you might even get to see a chicken!:) I have only great things to say about the Gardens of Cranesbury View!! It was the wedding of my dreams.

When I had my first tour with Amy, I felt extremely comfortable and stress free! I knew she would listen to our wants and desires, and jump through hoops to make it happen, thats just who she is. There is no coordinator out there like Amy. Also the venue is STUNNING. It's on the top of a hill, so when you're near the gazebo there is a gorgeous view of the hill country with a nice breeze. One of the most beautiful venues I've ever been to.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! My wedding was flawless. My husband & I loved- every. single. second. Amy & her team did an OUTSTANDING job of making sure everything ran smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend Amy as your wedding coordinator. It is worth every single penny. Starting from her positive attitude during the initial tour to {FAST FORWARD} a year later- big hugs & love during the send off- Amy never missed a beat. She spent time & effort getting to know our families & their cultures. She took careful notes & took special attention to detail. Amy knows EXACTLY what she is doing & her coordination helps keep you on track. Amy's coordination definitely helped us plan our perfect wedding day. We both worked full time during the planning of our wedding & Amy was always there to answer questions & assure us that we were on the right track. She does an amazing job of getting in touch with your vendors, as well as, offering tips to ensure a smooth day. We fell in love with the venue & will always have this special place in our hearts. Amy & Sarah were just incredibly sweet to every single guest. We had the wedding of our dreams & couldn't ask for anymore. We've been married a little over 3 weeks & not a day has gone by where we don't talk about our wedding & the fun we had. Our guests also have continuously mentioned to us how much fun they had & how beautiful the venue was. Thank you, Amy, Sarah, & Gardens of Cranesbury Team! Cheers to you!

I couldn't of imagined a better wedding!! She even provided a list of the best vendors around!! Amy and Sarah were the sweetest and most professional ladies!! They made my wedding day so stress free!!

We had a beautiful wedding at The Gardens of Cranesbury View. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue!!

The Wedding of my dreams!! I went to the Bridal Extravaganza with hopes of finding a venue. I found several that I wanted to see, with The Gardens of Cranesbury at the top of my list. When I got home my 2 maid of honors and I went through each flyer. At the top of Amy's flyer I wrote "She has her stuff in order!" (with several stars and smiley faces) Amy was so calm at the Extravaganza; when other vendors are barking at you to come look at their booth; she was calming and pleasant. Amy's venue was the first venue my fiancé and I looked at. Amy gave me a tour of the facility and it was breathtaking. It was everything I had hoped for. She took me down the path that I would be walking with my father and I couldn't hold back the tears. It just felt right! We looked at 3 other venues, but none of them gave me the same feeling as I did at The Gardens of Cranesbury View. To top it all off, I used Amy as my venue, florist and coordinator. She made planning a wedding easy!! With the coordinator package she told me exactly what I needed to be doing and when, what outside vendors she recommended and took all the stress off of me. The flowers were gorgeous!! From the bouquets to the flower arrangements on the table and the gazebo, it was stunning and the pictures turned out beautiful. Many guests told me that I looked like a page right out of Alice in Wonderland. Amy and her staff comes highly recommended!!!

When my son and his bride chose The Gardens of Cranesbury View for a late August wedding, the thing we worried most about was the 100+ degree heat we might experience. Never in a million years did we expect to deal with Hurricane Harvey! From the beginning, Amy and her team made planning the wedding effortless. Both the bride and groom lived out of the area, so a lot of the planning was done long distance and finalized just a few days before the wedding. Amy's 20+ years of experience were invaluable! And when several other venues were forced to cancel their weddings August 26th because of the weather, Amy very calmly and very confidently assured us that everything would be perfect, and it was! Even when we decided early in the day to move the wedding up a hour to better accommodate our guests, she coordinated with all the vendors and provided seamless service! Having an indoor wedding at the venue wasn't their first choice, but everything was set up beautifully. When the ceremony was over, the ballroom instantly transformed from ceremony seating to the tables for the reception and party. Despite the fact that Harvey was blowing and going outside, you never knew it inside! Our families can't thank Amy enough for everything she and her team did that day. It was beautiful! And it was certainly memorable! And we were all blessed in the process!

We had our wedding here in June, and it was an absolute dream! Amy is incredibly detail oriented and client focused. One of the biggest factors why we chose this venue was because Amy was so on top of everything, and makes you feel like family from the first time you speak with her. Leading up to the wedding she was always there to lend advice, help me put together last minute details, and was just a calming friend to talk to. I can't say enough good things about my experience with her. Even after the wedding, Amy takes such good care of you and makes sure your first steps into married life are absolutely perfect. The venue is so beautiful and we have such amazing pictures! Thank you for everything Amy! I can't recommend getting married here enough!

This place is absolutely gorgeous! After meeting with Amy for the first time, my fiancé and I knew that this was where we'd get married! Amy and her staff helped us create the perfect wedding day. Looking back, there's not a thing we would have changed :))

This is an amazing venue! Amy and her staff absolutely bend over backwards to ensure that every single detail of the rehearsal, wedding and reception are covered. We could not be more pleased with the way the wedding turned out and the treatment we received from the staff! Absolutely gorgeous location, the reception room will fit a HUGE wedding party and the facilities are clean, well taken care of and beautiful. Thank you Amy and your staff for making our son's special day a remarkable memory!

My wife found The Gardens in a magazine and loved it from the start, and only fell more in love after seeing the venue in person and meeting with Amy the first time. We knew then and there that this was our venue and could not have made a better choice as far as I'm concerned. Amy stayed on top of everything from day one all the way through the day of the wedding. She made it clear what we had to do on our end and there was never any confusion (on a side note, not one of the other venues that we looked into would have provided someone to help us throughout the process on the level that Amy does, which was another amazing perk). She communicates wonderfully and made us incredibly proud to say that she made sure our wedding went on perfectly, and I couldn't have asked for a better day, I only wish it could have gone on longer! She deserves every bit of praise that she gets!

This venue made our wedding a complete dream wedding. Amy really captured my dream and our friends and family were amazed and that's what we wanted. If we could do it again, we would do it here again. The staff were amazing people and made us feel so welcomed and at home, we were stressed free. Everything was so very well organized and went smoothly. The first time we met Amy we were welcomed with opened arms and working with her was amazingly easy. We got so many compliments on our wedding and we cant thank Amy and her assistances enough for all the hard work they did for us. The view was amazing itself and made it extra special. I remember our guests reactions, from just driving through the gate they were wowed!!!!!! And that was amazing for us. I loved how amy was there for the ceremony and reception and just made sure we were doing great. And the venders that she referred us to were amazing as well and new how things went the day of the wedding and they themselves would tell was that Amy was an amazing women. So I would definitely recommend this venue and the amazing staff as well. Thank you again to Amy and her staff for making our day a Special one and one to remember!

Our wedding was in the rainiest May on record, but we worried not! Not only is this venue lovely inside and out, but we knew our special day was in the hands of the best in the business. Amy and her staff have done it all. They helped us talk through our vision of our special day and select the vendors that they have seen best meet those visions. Amy stuck to our budget and helped us negotiate what was really important to us. And have you seen the Gardens' flower arrangements? Gorgeous. So as our wedding approached, we didn't have to worry about whether we'd get married beneath the elegant gazebo overlooking rolling, largely undeveloped Hill Country in all directions--or whether rain would chase us into the still lovely ballroom with charming finishings and big windows overlooking the courtyard. We knew that Amy and her staff would pull off a spectacular event either way. Yes, the rain miraculously held off and we got the outdoor ceremony of our dreams, but what we cherish most looking back is the joy and encouragement Amy shared with us as we planned--and the prayers she prayed over us as we began this new chapter in our lives.

We must've toured every wedding reception venue in New Braunfels, and worried we wouldn't find a place that would work, we came to our last appointment with Amy Collins. From the moment we met her and saw the grounds, we were so relieved- it was perfect! Amy took care of everything, from providing great vendor recommendations, to timelines, to decorating suggestions, she knows her business inside and out! We weren't stressed once during the planning process! Amy's even included in the price as the best day-of coordinator you could ever ask for. She made sure everything flowed smoothly on wedding day, and all of the little extras were taken care of. Neither we nor our families had to worry about a thing other than having fun! Our friends and family keep telling us how great our wedding was and how much fun they had! That's all we could've ever asked for.

Amy with the Gardens of Cranesbury View really put this venue above and beyond any other venue that we look at during our process. Not only is the property beautiful and something you don't find much of, but the quality of service that Amy provided was what really made our experience with her seamless. She is the main person of contact that you deal with through the whole process and she is truly passionate and cares about the couples getting married. She has really thought of everything when she created her venue to make it run smoothly and not show any of the back of house process that goes on. And her manicured gardens are a paradise for Photographers and videographers to catch some amazing shots with Butterflies and beautiful flowers everywhere. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone I come across looking to get married in the Hill Country!

Amy and her staff at the Gardens of Cranesbery View made my wedding experience so enjoyable. I was able to enjoy my wedding day and not have to worry about anything. Amy and her staff were a delight to work with and had everything so organized. The wedding went smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend Amy and her venue!

My husband and I had the most wonderful time at The Gardens of Cranesbury View. Amy and her staff are extremely dedicated. They are seriously the best in the business. Her vendors list is wonderful, seriously great recommendations. The venue is just so incredibly beautiful!! A week after it was over, we wanted to do it all over again!! That's how effortless Amy and her team make it.
I will forever recommend Amy and her venue.

Amy will always have a special place in my heart. Her passion for this and her heart for the Lord are nothing short of amazing. We love her. She's very VERY organized. From her vendors to the day of...and it pays off!! Our wedding day was perfect. I wasn't nervous or stressed out at all. The venue is beautiful and they're always out there grooming it and maintaining its beauty.

Amy is so welcoming and flexible. There were times I needed to bring people to the venue and she was so sweet to always allow me there. Her home is on the property and I never felt as if we weren't welcome there.

Her staff was amazing, but of course they were because working for Amy must be so fun. I wish I could work for her. So sweet and caring. And genuine. So SO genuine.

If you're looking for a place to fill your heart forever...this is it.

There is no such thing as too much praise for Amy and the Gardens of Cranesbury View! Since Sean and I both live in Houston but wanted to have the Wedding from his hometown in New Braunfels we had to do most of the venue research from reviews online. When I saw the pictures of the Gardens I was very impressed with how beautiful it was and the rave reviews made me feel that the Gardens was definitely a top contender. When I called Amy to schedule an appointment I couldn’t believe how friendly she was! The Gardens of Cranesbury was the first venue we toured and as soon as we arrived on the grounds I turned to Sean and said this is it (to his surprise since I never make quick decisions!). I was so impressed with the Gardens that when the wedding budget came up in conversation I often remarked I was ok with changing anything about the wedding but the venue, the Gardens of Cranesbury View was an absolute must! It helped they were very reasonably priced for all the service that was provided. One note I’d like to make is Amy provides a great list of vendors to work with and if at all possible you should stick with them. I picked a caterer that was not on her list for my Brunch wedding and they ended up going out of business a month before my Wedding Day. Once I told Amy not only did she give me the name of a great caterer who was available on such short notice and had a Brunch menu option but also she continued to follow up with them to make sure we had everything set with them in time. She is simply amazing! Also, since I had decided to craft most of my wedding I was afraid that I would have too many decorations to be set out but not only did Amy set everything up but she did it perfectly and it was done by the time of our rehearsal the day before. I had the most wonderful experience with Amy! We’re still getting comments on how beautiful the Venue was and one of my guests remarked they had never seen anyone so passionate about their job as Amy was.

Amy and her team are amazing and it shows in their quality of work! Our wedding ceremony and reception exceeded our expectations and we could have not dreamed of a more beautiful wedding day. Amy truly has a passion for what she does. We continue to receive positive feedback from all of our guests. Thanks so much Amy for such an unforgettable evening!!!

Amy is AMAZING!! I could not have pulled off my wedding so flawlessly without her. She is so organized, and really gets excited about your day. She keeps you involved, contacts all the vendors and makes sure that everyone is where they need to be. I knew Amy would take care of everything, including some minor "glitches". All my guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. I would definitely recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury View!!

From the first time my husband and I met Amy at a bridal event, we knew this is where we wanted our special day! Amy and all those who work with her are fantastic. From the beginning to deciding on vendors to the day of our big day Amy was just a phone call away. On the day of our wedding everything went so smooth. You can feel the passion Amy has for what she does from the first day you meet her to your big day. Everything is made special and is sculpted to what you and future spouse want. My husband and I fell in love the venue, we wanted something in the country but still elegant for a wedding. The Gardens of Cranesbury View was the perfect venue for us.

Amy and her staff are amazing ! The venue is gorgeous and working with Amy made my wedding planning less stressful ! She is worth every penny !!! She even did my floral which looked beautiful ! Definitely recommend this venue!!!!! Loved everything about my wedding being held there !

Beautiful, Fun, and Stress Free! I don't even know where to start. The venue is absolutely beautiful, straight out of a picture book and that is not even the best part. The best part is Amy and here team. From the moment they book you, they start guiding you on where you need to be with planning. I honestly don't know how other people do it without someone to guide them through the planning process which is timely and well documented if you follow their instruction. The day of, there were NO HICCUPS, seriously, everything was beautiful and perfect. I got married in a church in town, Amy arrived at the church with all my followers, made sure everyone had what they needed before the ceremony. As soon as it was over she rushed back to receive us brought us a drink and starting taking care of everything that possibly needed attention. All we had to do is sit back and soak up the importance of what was happening. I had the best time of my life at my wedding and this is largely because Amy and her team had everything under control. I wish there were stars higher than 5.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was this venue! Amy is the owner and coordinator of this place, and she runs it so smoothly. You can tell she really has a passion for what she does. The venue is well kept and beautiful. So many of our guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was and so many people were asking how we found it. This place is gorgeous and your pictures will be amazing!

One thing I really liked was that you rent each little thing, rather than having it as a huge package because there were a lot of things we ended up not needing so it was nice not to pay for it (for example, Amy lets you rent her china and silverware, but some caterers also rent it to you. Hers is a really fair price, and we were planning on using it, but our caterer ended up having it in the package. So it was nice not to have to pay for renting it had it been built in). There is very little you need to do as far as decor because the grounds are so pretty, but if you wanted to do flowers, Amy has that option as well. Amy and her staff were wonderful to us and took care of so many things. You literally don't have to set up anything. They do it all for you.

I would have never paid for a day of coordinator, but Amy's coordinating services came with the package, and now I have no idea how people do it without one! Now I recommend getting a day of coordinator to everyone because Amy was so amazing. She made sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. She kept up with all of our vendors for us, suggested vendors when we didn't know where to start, and made sure that if there were issues, we didn't have to deal with it the day of. There were definitely some hiccups on our day (not because of the venue), but I didn't deal with any of it because Amy had it all taken care of.

I could go on, but there is a character limit. Seriously though, you will not regret booking this place!

I have grown up in Spring Branch my whole life but had never seen The Gardens of Cranesbury View until our tour. It looks like something that couldn't possibly exist in the hill country but Amy's amazing talent for landscaping made something from nothing.

From the moment we met Amy we loved her! Her personality and passion were something we didn't find in ANYONE while venue shopping. Our first meeting was great and she walked me through the day so descriptive that I cried pretending to walk down the isle. Needless to say I cancelled all other venue visits that day and said YES to The Gardens of Cranesbury View.

A few months later for our next meeting we got to meet Kathryn and to our surprise yet another person with so much passion for couples on their wedding day.
Both ladies are there every step of the way making sure every detail (at least 50 you didn't think of) are addressed.

When the day finally arrived my fiance and I didn't have to lift a finger or ask any questions because everything was perfectly in it's place and everyone knew where and when they needed to be from the instruction of Amy and Kathryn.
Throughout the night they instructed Trevor and I when it was time for each event of the evening and it was the most unforgettable night.

After the honeymoon as my husband and I were opening gifts we came to a small box from Amy and Kathryn. It was an ornament of the venue and of course I cried again because of the joy those two brought us and our marriage. It will be our first ornament on our first Christmas tree as a newly wed couple!

Wow! That's all I can say and I am sure Any and her staff hear that all the time. We could not have chosen a better venue for my daughter's wedding. Every detail was thought of and taken care of by Amy. We truly did not have to think about anything on the wedding day, we just enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury View for a beautiful location and special attention. Flowers are definitely a bonus!

Amy and her team are amazing. They really know the business. We were completely stress free during our event. Amy kept to our schedule of events which made our wedding night perfect. Our guests spent weeks complimenting the staff and venue. The decoration of our ball room was pure perfection and I didn't have to do anything but drop off all our decorations. Again, Amy and her team did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond to make our wedding a dream come true.

The Gardens of Cranesbury View was the perfect venue choice for our wedding. Amy Collins and her staff were a complete delight to work with during our entire ten month wedding planning. Amy's professional experience and passion is so evident in how she becomes involved with the bride and groom. Everything was absolutely perfect on our big day! Her flower arrangements were breathtaking and gorgeous. She has perfected weddings at her venue and honestly cares for her clients. We will cherish our wedding memories at The Gardens of Cranesbury View forever and we have Amy Collins to thank for everything!

As soon as we visited The Gardens at Cranesbury View our heart was set on the venue! It was only the second one we had looked at. The venue is breathtaking with all the flowers and foliage. Amy Collins the venue coordinator is absolutely AMAZING from the moment we first met with her. She is so helpful and was there every step of the way. She even provided us with a vendor list to help us find other local vendors to use for our special day. Not only was she our venue coordinator, but she was also our florist, and we were able to rent everything from her from the china, linens, utensils, and vases which made our life so much easier having to go through one person. She was able to put our idea that we had in our head come to life. We had a vintage wedding and she made it absolutely PERFECT! It was everything we had imagined. The flowers came out better than I ever thought possible and after the wedding all everyone could talk about was all the flowers everywhere and the center pieces. Looking back neither one of us would have changed a thing!! She made the entire night go so smoothly without any hiccups. We appreciate her hard work and dedication and I will be sure to recommend her to anyone I know getting married!

The Gardens of Cranesbury View is an excellent place for a wedding. You will fall in love the moment you visit the property. Amy provides the place for rehearsal dinner if needed, for the ceremony, and the party. The ceremony is outside in the beautiful garden, no worries in the summers she will adjust the time so your guests won't stay there and sweat.
Amy will be your coordinator from day 1. She will suggest things based on her experience (and she has a lot), you have the option to have your bouquets and the floral arrangements done by her. The only thing you have to do is select your vendors (food and cake) - she makes it easier and provides a list. I personally find that very helpful and they all know her. The cool thing is that you can buy your own alcohol.
Decorating the ball room is easy, Amy will guide you through.
She provides other things for renting at really good prices: china, cake stand, some light for the outside...etc.

The price might be higher than other venues (not by much) but you won't regret it. I highly recommend you go visit the venue!!!
Amy is easy going and very excited to plan your wedding.

Best Wedding Venue ever that is beautiful and priceless! Amy was very professional and wonderful to us since day one of wedding planning! Our wedding day was stress free and magical !!! Amy is so sweet and did everything for our day to be so special! She goes above and beyond to make her bride and groom happy!!! Her home is beautiful and we love the outdoors to her property , very scenic gardens!!! No words can say enough how wonderful this place is!! Well worth the many thousands we spent on our special day!!! NO regrets just happy memories!

Amy was wonderful to work with and ensured our day was absolutely perfect. Our flowers were beautiful and the venue is breathtaking. We had tons of compliments!!!

I am so happy that my husband and I chose to get married at The Gardens of Cranesbury View. It was my dream location! It's a little piece of Europe placed in the beautiful Texas hill country. The grounds are stunning and provide the perfect romantic backdrop for a wedding.

Amy Collins is at the top of her game as a venue owner and coordinator. She leaves no stone unturned and thinks of all little things that you would have never thought of doing yourself. She makes it possible for you and your party to enjoy the day without having to think of the details or worrying about cleaning up afterwards. Yes it is expensive, but all wedding are and with The Gardens of Cranesbury View you get your money's worth ten times over. Because of that, I was able to add so many other little personal touches to our day. Amy and her assistant Jessica tirelessly go above and beyond to make their couples (mainly the bride) happy. I am a detailed perfectionist that worries about everything, but Amy alleviated all my fears and made my wedding the best day of my life.

Amy is also a skilled floral designer and works one on one with you (if you use her for your flowers which I highly recommend) to create the feel and look of your wedding. Just trust her and let her work her magic. The flowers were one of the highlights of my wedding. The elegant arrangements made everything look so perfect and beautiful.

You will be so happy if you chose to Gardens of Cranesbury View for your wedding. Amy and her staff become part of your family and it is a little bittersweet not to speak with them everyday once the wedding is over.

Thank you Amy and the rest of the Gardens of Cranesbury View for making our fairytale wedding come true.

Amy and her staff at the Gardens of Cranesbury View were fantastic! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue in the Texas Hill Country area. They made our wedding day so stress-free; I wouldn't have believed it was possible to go so smoothly, but it was great. Amy and her staff all did a wonderful job from the very first time we visited (from the first time we e-mailed, really) in helping us know what to expect, feel welcomed and not rushed, and rest assured knowing that her staff was going to handle everything for us just as we talked about with them, while making the entire process go very smoothly for us. The house and grounds are gorgeous, and the peaceful setting in the Hill Country is lovely and inviting. She and her staff are passionate about what they do and love every minute of it, which is entirely apparent in the energy they all have while taking care of all the minute details involved with a wedding--while, of course, also maintaining a reassuring and comfortable balance of professionalism and bubbly friendliness.

We had a wonderful experience with them, and what you get for the price is far better than anything else I found in the San Antonio area and Hill Country. They get two thumbs up and many thanks from us!

Amy of Gardens of Cranesbury View is amazing!! She holds the best events and weddings on her beautiful and unique property. If you are contemplating which venue to choose, you will not be sorry you chose this one. Best value for your money, in my opinion :)

Our wedding was absolutely wonderful thanks to Amy Collins and her staff. I highly recommend this venue because it is not only a gorgeous layout in the hill country, but also because of the impeccable service. Amy is very detailed and she listens to what you want and what you envision for your special day. She made us feel so welcome and stress free the day of the wedding. Our expectations were exceeded and everything looked and felt better than what we imagined. We got to enjoy every second of our wedding day and did not worry about anything. Amy also provided us a vendor list with other reputable vendors that we used. This helped us so much in planning our wedding. We just love this venue and Amy!!!!

Amy and her were amazing from the beginning! I forgot to confirm my very first appointment with the venue and when I arrived there was an appointment in progress, instead of asking us to wait or reschedule Amy had her assistant give us an amazing tour and answer a few of our questions. When other clients left she welcomed us in (warning she's a hugger!!) and we discussed everything. We left that day knowing that we wanted Amy and The Gardens of Cranesbury View to host our wedding. Every email and call or voicemail was answered within 24 hours and our family was welcome at every appointment we had. Our wedding was on Friday Nov 1, Amy let us have our rehearsal on Oct 30 so we could spend Halloween with our families. The day of the rehearsal it was pouring rain but Amy already had a back-up plan before we even arrived! Our wedding was beautiful, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, she handled everything and more; I would recommend Amy and The Gardens of Cranesbury View to everyone one, Amy is heaven sent!

I absolutely loved working with the Amy and Ashley at the Gardens of Cranesbury View. Amy is very professional, sincere, and a pleasure to work with, she helped me through so much more than I expected! On the day of my wedding Ashley was our wedding coordinator and she owned! I felt comfortable and taken care of from start to finish. She was the perfect wedding ninja and took care of everything!!! The location is also breath taking and everything I could want in a wedding venue. They even let you bring your own alcohol which helps with the budget. I would HIGHLY recommend the Gardens of Cranesbury View! I think every single guest made it a point to tell me how beautiful the wedding was and I owe it all to them! Thank you again!

Our wedding was March 23rd and we couldn't have asked for better weather. The roses on the driveway were partly in bloom and the grass was so beautifully green which made for some wonderful pictures. Amy and Ashley were absolutely fantastic and had everything under control - so it was a stress free wedding experience =) I had them do my flower arrangements and they were just perfect. The entire staff is extremely friendly and easy to work with. The "day of" coordination flowed perfectly and all of our guests had a great time. You really can't beat the quality of service and product that they provide. I honestly cannot say enough good things about The Gardens of Cranebury View and I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone. You will undoubtedly have a beautiful and unforgettable wedding at this venue!

Amy and her staff were absolutely phenomenal. Amy was able to take my ideas and help me turn them into a reality with her attentiveness and responsiveness. Her decor and flowers for the wedding day were absolutely stunning and exactly what I wanted. Everyone that surrounds the Gardens was dedicated to my party on our day. Her husband even lent my man of honor one of his belts!! All of the vendors that she recommended were top notch and I could tell that she had a very high standard for professionalism with anyone that is included in one of her weddings. I can say nothing but wonderful things about our experience at the Gardens of Cranesbury View. It is a day we will remember forever.

There's no obvious event I can pinpoint to sing Amy's praises, but I can start with the moment I walked into the reception hall before my ceremony began and I started crying tears of joy, realizing my special day had come together a million times more perfect than I had ever planned it. Throughout the wedding planning process, I was concerned that the budget I was working with would never allow me to have the wedding I'd always wanted, and I was completely wrong. I never imagined it would have turned out as beautiful as it did! Also, throughout the entire process, I kept wondering when I was going to feel "stressed", but because of Amy and her staff's incredible thoroughness, attention to detail, and promptness, I never felt stressed at all! In fact, the only wedding-related stress I remember was in dealing with the only vendor I did not coordinate through the Gardens of Cranesbury View (the hotel). All of her contacts and suggestions created the wedding of my dreams and I couldn't have asked for more! And the best part? She never tries to upsell you! In fact, she lets you know places where you can cut back to fit into your budget, even if means less revenue for her. She truly has a beautiful spirit and it shows through her business! Also, the grounds are remarkably beautiful - we received rave reviews from all of our guests!

Finding the Gardens of Cranesbury View was the first and best decision that I made for my wedding (besides my fiance' of course!) and it truly set the tone for the rest of my planning process. My fiance' and I had already visited 5 other venues and we were beginning to feel frustrated with our options- until we found the Gardens of Cranesbury View! By far, the best deal with all of the rental items that are included with the most beautiful grounds and unique flair and free wedding coordinator! It only took one visit out to the beautiful property and one conversation with the owner, Amy to know that I had found the place where I wanted to get married! Amy was such a blessing to us and because of her- my wedding day was flawless and stress-free. There isn't one tiny detail that Amy does not think about and have a Plan B and C for- she is a bride's dream-come-true! We got a ton of compliments on the beautiful gardens and the beautiful set up of the reception hall and it truly had a European feel to it. You won't find anything else in the area close to this!

Amy Collins, the owner and wedding coordinator, makes this place. The gardens are her vision and work (they're GORGEOUS), and weddings are her passion. She is all about making the bride (especially) and everyone else involved in the wedding party comfortable, stress-free, and happy with all the wedding planning and day. I cannot say enough how much of a blessing her attention, taste, and service has meant to me and my entire family during this whole process. Money well spent.

I just wanted you and your staff to know how amazing you were from beginning to end before, during and after our daughter's wedding! You’ve been the best cheerleader, confidante, organizer, flower arranger, caterer provider, director and producer ever! It was quite a thrill to see you in action; guiding, prodding, nudging, announcing and enjoying our ceremony and celebrations. You were supportive, and your suggestions were good ones.

I guess the only thing you didn’t do well was to control the weather!! After grieving over the loss of a lovely outdoor wedding ceremony, we all turned our faces like flint to Plan B. We made lemonade out of a lemon of a day! It was a sweet, dear ceremony. Up close and personal. The gospel was preached, the Biblical framework of marriage was proclaimed, and I know God was honored and blessed on that evening.

Thank you for making it fun…and thank you for your hard work. I know it took a lot to make a wedding of that size work in the cold, wind and rain. I especially thank you!

May God continue to bless and prosper all you do!

I absolutly LOVED having my wedding here. Everyone turned out better than I could have ever imagined! And completly enjoyed working with the owner Amy.

Everything about this venue is the best that a bride and groom could get! I loved everything about Amy and the detail that she gives the bride and groom from the first time that we met. She and her venue provided everything I and my husband could want for our wedding day! Thank you again Amy!

Love,

Joshua and Elizabeth

Amy and her staff truly are a godsend. My husband and I checked out 4 other venues before going to the Gardens, and had a list of others ready. As soon as we "walked down the aisle" to the gazebo during Amy's tour of the property, we both got goosebumps and knew the Gardens would be our venue. From day one to the day of the wedding, Amy was so easy to talk to, responsive, and helpful. I'll never forget rushing around a few days before the wedding, looking for the right kind of candles I needed for the tables. Amy knew I was stressed and, to keep me from having a bridezilla moment (haha), she took care of it for me and picked the candles up herself! Long story short, we had an AMAZING experience at the Gardens, and we continue to get feedback from guests saying it was "the best and most beautiful wedding they had EVER been to". My husband and I both joke that we will miss visiting the Gardens and seeing Amy... maybe one of our friends will get married there now :).

We had the best wedding that we could have ever imagined! I couldn't imagine how it would have happened without Amy.
Everything was EASY for us throughout the wedding planning process, the rehearsal, and the wedding itself. EVERYTHING was taken care of.

Ladies.. The price is SO worth it if you want a worry-free and hassle-free beautiful wedding!!

PS- it is the most beautiful venue ever!!

The Gardens of Cranesbury View is a beautiful venue. They offer the whole package, including flowers, linens, and day of wedding coordination. Set in the gorgeous Texas hill country, this place is so beautiful! I had an absolutely wonderful wedding here.

All I can say is WOW!!!! Amy and her staff were so wonderful and I can not thank them enough. They made our wedding so special and the wedding day was perfect. The decorations and flowers were so much better than I imagined. I really appreciate how they kept us on schedule, I know myself or family would have never been able to do that. I also felt that the way Amy held my hand through the whole process really made me feel like I was the only bride she had. Even though I know they have many bride's to deal with and I always had many questions and emails. All of the vendors that Amy suggested were great and all my family and friends couldn't stop gushing over how beautiful evrything was. If there is a bride out there want great service, I suggest you run out and book The Gardens of Cranesbury View as soon as possible.

Amy and her staff is amazing!!! They have every little detail down to the wire!! We booked Amy at the Gardens a year and a half before my wedding. A lot of time went by, but I would email her through out that time with questions. I went in with the knowledge of what came with the venue price and what didn't, so I knew if I wanted linens and pretty flowers and reception decor, I knew it was all going to be extra. Just tell her you are on a budget, and she will ensure to use the prettiest decorations within your budget range. She is your florist also, so she did an amazing job with that. I'm not picky on my flowers, I just told her the colors I was looking for, and told her to use her imagination and she did! They came out amazing!

Amy was very accommodating with all of my needs when it came to budget and style!

There is also a 12% fee that gets added onto your catering bill. If your caterer is $5000 bucks, thats $600 dollars that goes to Amy. So always be sure and ask about hidden fees. READ YOUR CONTRACT FRONT TO BACK to ensure you know everything!!!! I feel like I wasn't surprised, because I read my contract over and over again.

I think Amy and her staff is very professional, they care about every detail. But I do recommend talking to your coordinator before the wedding. I know the day of coordinator is just trying to make sure everything is perfect, but Kristin, kind of added extra stress to some of my bridesmaids and groomsmen because she was worried tooo much about the little things. I talked with Amy about this, and she says because every bride is different this is now a conversation that's going to be had before the wedding. Like how involved you want your coordinator to be. Speak up! Especially if you are a bride that gets stressed about the little things. Maybe have your go to person be your mom or MOH and then that way, they can take the questions. If you don't want to put that on your mom or MOH, tell them you want all the questions to be referred to you, or the groom.

She came to me for little things, and I think that could have been worked out without my family. Like I wanted to take pictures in the gardens before the wedding, but she got mad at my photographer for taking me outside where everyone could see me. I guess I didn't explain myself before hand that it's what I wanted. I didn't care if everyone saw, as long as my fiance didn't see.

Also, she wanted a little basket for the dollar dance, but there wasn't one. She made a bigger deal of it than it had to be, they could have just held the money.

We had an icecream cake for the grooms cake, and it was a little melted in the corner, but she was worried I would be mad. She asked if I still wanted to bring it out I said sure! why not? no big deal.

I just felt like she worried toooo much about the little things, a stressed out bride could get overwhelmed by that. I luckily didn't.

On the other hand, I do want to make a point that I would rather my coordinator be overly worried about the details, than not doing enough. So I want to stress that, it wasn't that big of a deal! She still got a tip for her outstanding service :)

Day of coordinators don't usually come with the package at a venue. Soooo it's really great that this comes with the package. Day of coordinators can be anywhere from 500-1000 bucks. So thank your lucky stars that you have Amy's staff working your wedding!!!

There is a reason people choose the Gardens of Cranesbury View and it's not just because of her beautiful venue. It's because of all the hard work Amy's staff puts in to making the best day of your life truly memorable.

My daughter just had her wedding on May 21, 2011 at the Gardens of Cranesbury View. To say it was the most beautiful wedding is an understatement. The professionalism of Amy and her staff was EXCELLENT! It was as if we had hired a professional wedding coordinator. We did not have to worry about a single thing all night. Amy and her staff made sure everything ran smoothly, so that we could enjoy our children's wedding. Everything from the venue, the ceremony and the flowers turned out amazing. We have not stopped receiving compliments about this memorable day. We visited several venues in the area and nothing came close to the Gardens of Cranesbury View. We highly recommend any couple getting married, to look into this venue. You will not be disappointed. We feel so blessed to have met all the wonderful staff at this venue and feel quite honored to have the opportunity to have had our wedding there.

Amy is absolutely amazing in every way. The venue is beautiful and serene and her and her staff are there supporting you and helping in anyway they can. I felt as she was our very own personal wedding planner. I recommend her to every one I meet. My daughter's wedding was beautiful and Amy assured me and took care of every little detail along the way. All I can say is WOW! Wish I was getting married! If you have not visited this venue, take the time to do so!

We just had our wedding there on March 26, 2011 and it was gorgeous! Amy and her staff made sure that my day went off without a hitch. Any important questions or concerns they had on the day of, she asked my fiance (now husband), instead of coming to worry me with them. For that alone, I would recommend Amy and her venue!! Amy was such a great help through the entire planning process; always friendly and quick to respond to any questions I had.

All venues can get a little pricey if you include all the little things and want to go the extra mile with your wedding (outside lights, more tables, linens, etc). The price at this venue is well worth everything Amy and her staff do for you. When you consider the fact that Amy basically acts as your wedding planner on the day of your wedding and coordinates the logistics of everything, as well as handling all the cleanup after the wedding, I think that this venue is well worth it.

We also used Amy for our flower arrangements and they turned out beautifully! We used Anne Marie's Catering for our wedding and the food was DELICIOUS! We heard nothing but good things all night long about the food and the beautiful venue. Our wedding was an incredible experience and I am definitely going to recommend Amy to all of my engaged friends in the future!! :)

Amy, is very very helpful in all the planning, and stress that goes into planning a wedding. She is always so excited and always has a big smile on her face. She was such a huge blessing in all of this, and I am so happy with my decision to have my wedding here.

My husband and I got married on June 27, 2010 and it was a wonderful experience. Amy was so personable and professional. For a bride, her vision and knowledge was so helpful and appreciated. We both felt the prices were reasonable and we chose off of her vendor list and got rave reviews on both the cake and the food!!! Being a perfectionist, I really loved the fact that Amy was easy to get ahold, responsive, and flexible. I was relieved at the ease of the process and couldn't imagine our day being any more fabulous and memorable! The venue is so beautiful inside and out and with the natural beauty of things, not much more needs to be done to enhance the day! Thanks Amy!

I recently had my wedding at the Gardens of Cranesbury View and it was a dream come true. The entire venue from where the ceremony took place to the reception area was breathtaking. Amy the Owner/Wedding Planner was so patient and helpful during the entire process and especially the day of. So to all the brides-to-be, if you are looking for a venue that has it all from the set-up to the cleaning, I strongly recommend the Gardens of Cranesbury View.

If I could give a 10 star rating I would! Amy is amazing! When we had questions, she was there to offer an answer or help right away! We could not have had such a great wedding if it were not for Amy! Set up and clean up were all done by her staff, and she also contacts all vendors to make sure they are on the same page. There was absolutely no stress for the wedding because Amy made it that easy! I would DEFINITELY recommend this venue for any wedding ceremony and reception!

This venue was amazing, it had everything we were looking for. Amy Collins helped us out every step of the way, recommended some ideas where we would have been lost otherwise, and did a terrific job with the flowers. She and her crew were a well oiled machine and we felt completely confident in everything she did for us. She made our day run very smoothly, and I would recommend her to anyone!

We were married May 30, 2010 and the Gardens of Cranesbury view and I do not even know how to express my appreciation for Amy and her staff. Everything was perfect! Amy is extremely professional, caring, and a joy to be around. It is the perfect place to get married. Not only do you get a beautiful venue, but aslo a woderful wedding coordinator. Amy is extremely organized and easy to work with. She helped make our dreams a reality. She understands detail and creates beautiful centerpieces. She knows how to transform your ideas (even if they are unusual like incorporating fruit and veggietables into the centerpieces and bouquets) into beautiful elements in your wedding. I cannot thank Amy enough for all of her hard work. We will always have fond memories of Amy and the Gardens of Cranesbury View. For those of you with a bad experience, I do not understand and appologize that you did not have the wonderful experience that so many of us have had. Thanks Amy!

My daughter, Emily, was married at The Gardens of Cranesbury View on April 24, 2010. As the parents of the bride, we could not have been happier with the beauty of the gardens, reception hall, patio area, etc. Not only did we have the wedding and reception there, Amy Collins also did the flowers for Emily's wedding. AMAZING!!! One of the best decisions that was made during the planning of the event! The day of the wedding when Emily and I first saw the reception hall actually decorated, we were speechless. It was magnificient and even more beautiful than we ever expected! Amy's has a gift of noticing even the smallest detail and everything came together so perfectly for Emily & JJ's special day.

As Emily's mom, I truly appreciated that Amy took care of all of the decorations for the wedding. All we had to do was deliver the items to her and when we arrived on the day of the wedding, everything was done - with no stress for us on the wedding day. Amy's organizational skills makes everything run so smoothly. She was always there to remind us of anything that we had not thought of. She contacted all of our vendors to make sure they had everything they needed so that everything would run smoothly on the day of the wedding. She was so accomodating to anything that we needed to change before the wedding day, and was ALWAYS so pleasant and cheerful! We had over 300 guests and somehow Amy made room for the "large" dance floor that Emily wanted. We had one huge, fabulous party!!!! It was magical!

And, as a parent of the bride, I have to say this - I was SO happy and excited that our guests enjoyed themselves so much on that day! We received so many compliments from our guests on The Gardens of Cranesbury View and about Amy personally and that is such a great feeling. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride and groom.

I had the extreme fortune of having my wedding at the Gardens of Cranesbury View in July 2009. Amy is the owner/wedding coordinator/flower extraordinaire/your "honorary maid of honor"-- she is absolutely 100% amazing and you can tell how much she truly enjoys her "job". Having her own venue has been her dream for 20 years and now that it has come to fruition, she does everything possible to ensure that each and every couple get exactly what they want. Every time I was around her I felt like I was with the Head Cheerleader because she was SO excited about my wedding! :-) I was Amy's 5th wedding since they opened in June 2009 but you would not have known it by the efficiency of the establishment.

As for the facilities itself, just go visit. As previous reviews have stated, the European style house provides an excellent Bridal Suite for prepping before the wedding. We had our wedding outside where Amy has lovely white chairs and a beautiful gazebo. The courtyard is an excellent "spill-over" area for guests to relax. We had our bar set out there with our photobooth (that was fun) and guests enjoyed visiting out there. The reception hall easily accommodated our 160 guests with a decent size dance floor in the middle.

Last but not least, Amy did my flowers as well and I could not have been happier. They were arranged exactly as we agreed and very fresh.

If you are looking for a romantic ceremony & reception hall combo then simply visit and you will have your location. Having just opened in June 2009 and already being completely booked for 2010, the venue and its "Amazing Amy" speak for themselves.

*In response to HappilyMarried123, it is a misfortune that she remembers her wedding so poorly. However, I must say that the word "rude" could never describe Amy or Charlie and I know for a fact that the vendors that HappilyMarried used, still continue their relationship with GCV.

This venue is absolutely beautiful, but this is not the best part of this venue it's the owner Amy! Right from the start we felt like we were in great hands. She was behind the sene of our wedding making sure it was our dream come true. She and her very friendly staff went out of there way to make it fantastic. We had some problems with one of our vendors, we had gone with a someone else for flowers. What a mistake! Needless to say, we did not have any flowers as of the day before our wedding. Amy when down to San Antonio that day and put together the most beautiful bouquet I could have imagined and well along with our other flowers. What could have been a disaster she turned it into a dream. We also had some of the same vendors that the previous brides talked about, and they all have the up most respect for the owner and her venue. Thank you again for our beautiful day!

My Husband and I wanted our ceremony and reception to really reflect our love of nature, and the glory of God�s creation. We didn�t know where to start looking, and that�s why I�m so grateful for our wedding planner Meghann. She knew of this amazing place, with this wonderful story, and a truly dedicated lady that would be exactly what we were looking for.

The Gardens of Cranesbury View was everything we dreamed of! From the moment we met Amy, we knew this was the place for our celebration. Her enthusiasm about our wedding and attention to our every question and detail, was so appreciated.

We felt such a sense of peace about this place, and this was even before we got the tour! PARADISE! These gardens are stunning, and the reception hall is majestic! The fountains were an unexpected surprise (our last name translates to �fountains� ;), and welcomed enhancement to our ceremony and reception. We felt like we were in another country with such lovely scenery.

Our guests were so amazed by the grounds, fountains, flowers, scripture verses, and butterflies! Our wedding day was just beautiful, and we were truly blessed! Thank you Amy from Tony and Linda Fuentes :D

There were a lot of venues I liked, but I instantly fell in love with the Gardens of Cranesbury View when i saw the gazebo and the beautiful landscaping. There is a nice bridal suite in the house, but unfortunately not a great spot for the guys to lounge. Amy made the wedding planning process a breeze. All we had to do was pick the vendors and express what we wanted and Amy took care of everything! I think the biggest selling point was that we didn't have to set up a thing! There was no wedding on Friday so we were able to drop off all our decorations early and it was all set up for us how we had discussed. Then when it was all over Amy and her crew picked everything up and packed it in our cars. Amy is great at what she does, knows what works well and what doesn't work so well, and keeps things moving on a schedule. We are very happy with our experience.

This was the most perfect venue for my dream wedding. Amy and her staff made it possible for me truly have the best day of my life. She was extremely helpful in managing the entire wedding coordination process and was the biggest help the month before the wedding. Once the vendors were finalized, she worked with them to coordinate the logistics so that my dream wedding could happen smoothly. She is so sweet and accommodating, her flexibility and willingness to always help out made the planning process so much more fun than I was expecting. The venue is seriously the most beautiful location in the hill country, I loved the ambiance and beauty of the whole grounds. I am so happy that we met Amy and her staff, our wedding wouldn't have been the gorgeous success it was without them! Also the pictures look STUNNING because of the beautiful venue. I definitely recommend the Gardens at Cranesbury View - I can't wait to go back for another event someday.

My husband and I got married at the Gardens of Cranesbury View and our day was so perfect! The venue is not only beauitful, but the staff was amazing! When we initially started looking for a venue we could picture our day at the Gardens of Cranesbury View and were so excited! Amy was great too! Both of our families live out of state, so we had to do a lot of the wedding planning on our own, but Amy made the process less stressful and helped us with ALL of our questions. She also recommended the best vendors, which played a big part in making our day so perfect!! Our family and friends kept telling us how beautiful the venue and our day was! Amy and her staff were not only thoughtful of us, but also our parents, which meant a lot to us. They thought of every little detail, so the day of our wedding we were able to enjoy every minute!!

The Gardens of Cranesbury View is a beautiful venue! I searched and searched for venues and when I saw the gardens in person it was absolutlety gorgeous. We had SO many compliments the day of our wedding. Amy Collins and Kathryn were such a big help to us! We needed someone to be very hands on and didn't have it in our budget to hire a wedding planner, but with Amy helping us with all of the details, we really didn't need one! Amy is very professional but flexible to our needs at the same time. You really want to have someone who cares about all of the details of your wedding working for you. I was able to relax on my wedding day knowing that everything was under control. Thank you so much Amy for everything you did for us & making our wedding a great day! We are so thankful ! :)

Amy with the Gardens of Cranesbury View is amazing and gave us the perfect wedding day. The planning was so easy and stress free. The entire process was so very organized with several meetings in person and via face time since we live out of town. The vendors that she recommended were also very professional, easy to work with and made our event flawless. Amy not only provides the venue, she assists with all planning and is there as your right hand on the big day to help you with anything that is needed. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I would highly recommend her to every bride!

Top Notch!!!! What a wonderfully beautiful venue!!! We were very pleased with everything!!! It's not just a Venue...Amy (owner of the Venue) helps you every step of the way with the planning of the wedding...you won't be disappointed....My daughter's wedding was everything she had dreamed of and more...thanks to Amy and her wonderful staff at the beautiful Gardens of Cranesbury View!!!!

We had a beautiful weddding at the Gardens of Cranesbury View. The price was well worth the venue, with the day of planning services included. We were able to meet or call Amy or Kristin (her assistant) and get all our questions answered in a timely manner. The best part for me was the day of coordination. Kristin took care of the entire timeline, and confirming the vendors the day before. I did not have to worry about any of it, and was able to fully enjoy the day!

Amy was bright and energetic from the start. We hired her on as our coordinator and she kept us on track even when we were behind. She has good recommendations for vendors, which was huge help. The venue is breathtaking and is a unique gem in the hill country. If you want something different that will take people's breath away, this is the location. With Amy's guidance our wedding day was perfect and flowed seamlessly. She is truly passionate about what she does and will help make your special day just that.

Amy and her team could not have made our wedding day any more special! The venue was gorgeous, and Amy made sure every detail of our wedding was planned out and prepared so my wife and I could focus on enjoying the moment. Amy's network of vendors made coordination of the day's events very smooth and seamless. She truly cared about making our wedding as special as possible, and it showed. We'd highly recommend the Gardens to anybody looking for a beautiful central Texas wedding with a wonderful and accommodating staff!

Amy was absolutely amazing! She helped us with our wedding planning from day one, over a year before our wedding date! She gave us awesome recommendations and helped us create the wedding of our dreams. She also did all of our flowers as well which were gorgeous! When you book here not only do you get an absolutely stunning venue but you get to work with Amy as well who is totally worth every penny!! We were blessed with a beautiful wedding that we will remember forever thanks to Amy!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and not like anything you will find at a hotel reception. If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor setting with an amazing reception space, this is definitely the place! Amy and her staff are absolutely wonderful and did everything possible to make sure our day went smoothly. They executed everything beautifully! We could not be happier!

I would like to start off by saying, Amy you were a GREAT INSPERATION in some of the most memorable parts of my wedding!!! Amy is always so upbeat and positive about everything!! Just when the stress of your wedding could get to you, she is there to cheer you up!!! The venue is BEAUTIFUL!!! You should really go in and see it for yourself to experiance the REAL BEAUTY!!! My husband and I have already talked about having our 5 year anniversary at the venue! We want to be able to relive our wedding night! ( with the exception of ALUSSTRA ENTERTAINMENT, who was a horriable DJ service!) AMY Thank You for giving us a place to share one of the many memories we will cherish FOREVER! Amanda Behrendt <3

We had our ceremony and reception at Gardens of Cranesbury View. Amy, the owner did all of our flowers and decorations and it turned out beautiful! She was very easy to work with and catered to our wishes. We were supposed to have our ceremony on the garden lawn, but it rained 15 inches that day so we moved the ceremony indoor where the reception was. It still turned out beautiful, and Amy worked so hard the last few hours prior to make everything special even though it wasn't what we expected. I highly recommend having an event here!

We absolutely LOVED everything about our wedding at The Gardens of Cranesbury View! Amy was a dream to work with -- she had great ideas and made sure everything was in order. The location was gorgeous and the landscaping really tied everything together. Amy and her staff worked hard on the day of the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly -- if anything went wrong I had no idea! Truly, the day was perfect and we owe much of that to Amy. Between the beautiful location and Amy's dedication, it's the perfect place to have your wedding!

Amy and her team are amazing. They helped make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. My husband and I looked at several venues in the San Antonio area but were instantly sold on this beautiful venue the moment we arrived to the property. Throughout the entire planning process Amy was so helpful and calm during what can become an overwhelming time. She made sure every detail of our wedding day was planned and exactly how we wanted. I couldn't have been happier with the entire process and our special day!

Amy and her team are amazing. They are the ultimate reason we selected this venue. They made the entire wedding planning process go smoothly for us. On top of the great service, the venue itself is beautiful. It was a perfect fit for me and my wife. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for somewhere to tie the knot.

My daughter got married at this venue in May 2010. We found the wedding coordinator very professional and helpful. The wedding site is very nice, the reception hall is beautiful....as is the home for dressing before the ceremony. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for tastefulness and elegance. Amy does an excellent job making you feel comfortable in the organization of a wedding. We used Margarita Madness for alcohol and Heavenly Gourmet as the caterers and both were very easy to work with and did a great job! I'd recommend this venue to anyone looking for a upscale place to have a wedding.

We were married at The Gardens recently and had a wonderful experience !! All of the planning was executed perfectly by Amy down to the minute, and with 350+ guests that can't be an easy thing to accomplish. Our vendors were all contacted a week prior in order to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. One of our vendors turned out to be "not so great" and we received several complaints from guests, but Amy was quick to contact them and express her dissatisfaction with them, so we felt confident that Amy worked as hard as possible to maintain a great experience for all guests at our wedding and for future weddings. Our night flew by and we have nothing but amazing memories !!! Thanks to Amy Collins and her staff !!
