Michelle is an absolute sweetheart and made the entire process extremely easy and fun.

Hallmark Christmas Movie Wedding

The BEST venue out there. Cannot decide which was more perfect -the venue itself or the people who own it. Michelle and her family are absolutely the best to work with. They truly go above and beyond for their clients and I can't even imagine getting married anywhere else. We wanted a hallmark Christmas movie vibe and they DELIVERED. Our guests got so many amazing photos (lots of profile pic updates da) just because of the serene beauty of the venue. They helped keep me calm and give hugs when needed on such a stressful day.

Cannot recommend them enough! So blessed to be a part of the carriage hills family now!!!

Magical Hallmark Christmas Wedding

My daughter got married at Carriage Hills Ranch last weekend and it was everything we dreamed of and more. We went to the monthly open houses which allowed us to try out all of our DIY decor and also see what items to borrow out of Carriage Hills decor closet. Michelle and her family were so wonderful to work with and I could go on and on about their hospitality and behind the scene care they did to make the wedding day perfect. As the newlyweds were leaving this morning for their honeymoon, they said their wedding day was the magical Hallmark Christmas wedding they dreamed of. It was perfectly wonderful.

You NEED this venue!!

Carriage Hills Ranch was the best possible location for our wedding! After looking at many locations and being disappointed by all of them, we were a bit jaded when we came to look at Michelle's property. We thought surely for a price so great, the grounds must be lacking. As soon as we pulled in, we knew we were SO wrong! Every piece of the property was gorgeous, and we had many options for the ceremony to choose from. Michelle was the sweetest host, and was great at communicating with us through every step. We also saved so much of our budget due to her decoration inventory. So happy we chose this location!

Amazing Venue, Even Better People!

This review is WAY overdue so hopefully Michelle and her team can forgive me.

Where can I even start to describe how amazing this venue is and how awesome Michelle and her team are? Every aspect of how Michelle chooses to run this venue is catered to ensuring you (the couple) have a wedding that fits your unique vision in as stress-free a way as possible. It apparent, from the first tour to the grand exit, that she truly cares about making each wedding that takes place at Carriage Hills Ranch truly exceptional.

A small selection of how she accomplishes this:

Decorating - Carriage Hills has a massive selection of decorations at your disposal free of charge. This greatly cuts down on cost and time requirements.

Recommendations - Michelle makes finding everything from the florist to your caterer so easy. Her recommendations on who to work with ensure that your day goes off without a hitch.

Bar Service - Using Carriage Hill's In-House bar service is a breeze. It allows you to have full control over what you're spending so you aren't hit with a surprise after your event. There are so many options available and it is definitely cheaper than other bar services.

Michelle Herself - She is simply a joy to work with. From contract questions a year before the wedding to last-minute details 3 hours before the event, she is understanding, gracious, and kind. She is giving with her time and willing to get creative to make whatever you have in mind work (within reason). I can honestly say that our wedding could not have been as amazing as it was without her.

If you made it this far then Carriage Hills is probably high on your list of venues. If you're still struggling with the decision of where to have your wedding, all I can say is choose here. It's not possible to list all of the ways that choosing Carriage Hills makes planning and having an awesome wedding SO much easier. I can not possibly recommend them enough.

Absolutely Perfect!

We held our homeschool Winter Formal in this amazing location this week. We had 150 high schoolers attend. The venue is absolutely beautiful, lots of places for photos. We didn’t have to do much decorating because the room is already so pretty! We loved the elegant rustic feel, and the fantastic lighting. The staff at Carriage Hills was so attentive and wonderful to work with. They anticipated our every need and went above and beyond to serve us. The kids had a great time dancing the night away without a care! A truly beautiful location from the hill country views to the most minor detail inside. I can’t recommend it enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Beautiful venue in the Hill Country! Owners are a delight to work with.

Cakes ROCK!!! Cakes ROCK!!! Wedding Cakes

Carriage Hills Ranch is truly a hidden treasure in the Texas Hill Country! It's an amazing venue with an incredible pond which is the backdrop to the ceremony site under a marble & ironwork gazebo. One of its big advantages is having very nice hotels only minutes away in Blanco, when adequate lodging is an issue for many other venues. Convenient to both San Antonio & Austin, & an easy drive. The owners are wonderful & warm, & they are a pleasure to work with!
