About

Step onto the grounds and the hush of a waterfall meets you first, threading through century-old oaks that shade the aisle. As a San Antonio wedding venue tucked into Spring Branch, Texas, Hayes Hollow at Hidden Falls hands the spotlight to the Hill Country itself, minutes from San Antonio yet a world removed from it.

Rooted in the feel of a rustic wedding venue in Texas, the property wraps ancient oaks and native greenery around an open-air ceremony space that faces a live waterfall, so the backdrop needs nothing added. A wooden footbridge carries guests toward the stone patio, where cocktails are poured beneath the trees. From there the modern reception hall opens with wrought iron chandeliers, vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows, seating up to 220 guests with onsite lodging that turns a wedding into a full weekend.

Your celebration is carried by spacious getting ready suites, dog-friendly ceremony spaces, flexible vendor packages for a curated wedding experience, and white glove planning services, rounded out by onsite lodging for the whole party and ADA-accessible paths across the grounds. Packages are also available with flexible add-ons for catering, bar service, entertainment, florals, and more.

Morning begins in a bridal suite framed by oak canopies and Hill Country light. Vows are exchanged against the falling water, then guests cross the footbridge to the patio as evening settles in. When the doors to the ballroom part, chandeliers catch the glass and the vaulted ceiling lifts the whole room, setting the pace for a night that stretches comfortably into the small hours because no one has to leave the property.

Hayes Hollow at Hidden Falls has been honored as an 8-time winner of Wedding Wire's Couples' Choice Award, most recently in 2025. Hayes Hollow is guided by a team with more than 20 years of experience under the Walters Wedding Estates name, and that steadiness shows in the 120+ reviews couples have left after celebrating here. Two decades of practice mean the details are handled long before you notice them.

A perfect day!

Hayes Hollow at Hidden Falls was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. Alex helped us in the beginning and was amazing showing us the venue and all the in-house vendors and services they offer. Kayci our day of coordinator couldn’t have been more perfect! Our day ran so smoothly and if there were any hiccups I did not know about them. I couldn’t recommend them any more! 💓

Wedding Party Experience

We had a wonderful time at this venue and with our amazing wedding coordinator, Amber!! Everything was nicely organized and the area was beautiful. The food was amazing and well prepared for all the guests. It was also so nice to see how much Amber loved her job and all the effort she put into it.
We cannot thank this venue enough for everything they did and for making this day so memorable for the happy couple.

A Dream Come True

Wow! I can’t express how amazing Malorri is. She went above and beyond and exceeded any and all expectations. During the planning stages, Malorri was very patient and did a thorough job to ensure we did not miss anything. She had a detailed tracker and continually followed up on items that needed to be completed. She was patient, kind, understanding, and supportive. When I was unsure about the dressing, she went above and beyond to work with the chef to design a dressing I wanted for Walter’s house salad. She also partnered with us to allow the Alamo Café queso fountain during the happy hour.
During the day of, she was tentative and thought of everything. The little things matter, and she does not skip a beat. She checked in on me several times and continually asked if I needed anything. She also supportive of doing two rehearsals, one with me and one without my future husband. After the ceremony, she brought our specialty drinks to the wedding party while we took photos. She ensured that everything was on time and the evening went smoothly. After the reception, she also helped clean up and stayed with us until midnight. Lastly, she wrote us a lovely card and opening it the next day was a surprise.

Malorri is such a pleasure and joy to work with. She puts a smile on your face, and her personality is infectious. I have very high expectations, trust me, and she is the right person to get the job done. You would want her to plan your wedding and any future events! Our wedding was a dream come true, and I am truly blessed to have her be a part of our special day.

Our coordinator was the best we’ve seen!

Walters knocked our wedding out of the park. But what really made it was our coordinator Malorri. We didn’t have to worry about a thing with her. So thankful.

I love weddings at the Lodge at Bridal Veil Falls. They offer a beautiful, private location for weddings with a stunning waterfall backdrop, thoughtful rooms for wedding couple families to relax in before the ceremony, gorgeous spots for portraits and plenty of room indoors for receptions or "plan B" in case of inclement weather.
