It Was Perfect

Randi and Kailtyn were wonderful! They helped us with any questions we had and were very flexible with us. Responsiveness had me worried in the beginning but, it is definitely understandable, planning a wedding in one of the busiest times of the year. The location is all worth it, it is beautiful. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly. Randi made sure everything was going as planned and the staff was amazing. Thank you so much!

This venue was perfect for our event and would be excellent for ANY wedding or party. The ballroom was a great size and having the outdoor patio overlooking the river was perfect. The staff went out of their way to make our event perfect.

Olivia Charlotte was amazing and accomodating. She was very professional and ensured that we were able to incorporate everything we wanted for our weekend. From reserving hotel rooms and coordinating our 3 events. The chef went above and beyond to provide the items we needed. He perfectly executed items that were not on the menu but were important to us. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff, from front desk to bartenders and servers were amazing as well. I’ve worked for the Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau as well as sales coordinator for the Solomon P Ortiz International Conference Center so I am very familiar with hotels and events. The Courtyard Marriot New Braunfels River Village exceeded my expectations and those of my guests. We have had lots of positive responses and would highly recommend the hotel.

Olivia was fantastic through this whole process. She responded to questions very quickly, was able to make changes without issue and were very accommodating. Staff the day of the wedding were great. Our timeline didn't match up in a few parts and the staff were able to adjust perfectly. I would highly recommend this venue for any event you want to have.

This was for our company picnic and I couldn't have asked for a better venue!!! Our overnight guests all raved how awesome and accommodating the staff was. Have been looking for a yearly picnic "home" and I think this is it :-) We have already booked for next year. Olivia Maddox and Cindy (sorry, I don't know Cindy's last name) and the staff are my hero's for making this event happen!!!

From the first meeting with Olivia, everything was great!
The outdoor part of the venue is gorgeous and right on the river. There is a huge lawn area where we had our ceremony. The ballroom is huge and fit our 100 person wedding well - could fit more and the room breaks down into 3 smaller rooms if you have a much smaller wedding.
The food, the FOOD was amazing. We had 2 food displays and a hot appetizer for cocktail hour. Dinner was phenomenal - we had the stuffed pork tenderloin and my husband and I decided we want to just got there for dinner soon so we can enjoy it again.
The entire staff was so helpful, accommodating and cordial. I could have asked for a better group to make my day perfect. On top of that, they were so helpful the day after, allowing us to get our decor and such later in the day.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for an indoor/outdoor wedding along the river with everything you need (venue, food, bar, tables and chairs, linens!).

Planning a wedding is hard enough and now imagine doing it from out of town! The courtyard river village catered and fulfilled every detail we wanted for our wedding, and it was perfect. Olivia and Cindy helped us every step of the way and personalized our day just for us. I highly recommend having your wedding at a place where every one of your questions gets answered, your phone calls returned, and where the staff is there to help you every step of the way. It doesn't hurt that the hotel is beautiful!

We had an absolute AMAZING experience at the Courtyard/Marriott in New Braunfels. We had a group of 23 show up for a weekend celebration for my 50th birthday and everyone of the staff were absolutely the best. Olivia was our event coordinator from the hotel and she not only helped us with the event but also arranged for our shuttle to/from tubing and Gruene Hall. My only (very minor) complaint would be the housecleaning service. They could have done a little better job (beds were made sloppily, they didn't refresh ALL the towels, didn't leave new shampoo/conditioner, etc.) so I had to call down to front desk. Again... very minor thing to be aware of and certainly did NOT persuade me from giving the hotel an overall 5.0 score across the board. We are considering making this an annual trip with our close friends!

My now husband(!) and I decided to get married on somewhat of a short notice and Courtyard New Braunfels River Village ended up being our perfect venue for all of the goals of our wedding. Olivia went above and beyond to make sure that anything we wanted was taken care of with no issues at all, even when we changed our minds about things multiple times! Olivia's help and suggestions really helped us feel like everything was going to turn out perfect and it did. Cindy, Debbie, Randi and every staff member we encountered treated us and our guests like royalty. We had the perfect day. The food was great and the view was amazing and all for a reasonable amount of money. I can't recommend them enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
