What is the story behind Jennings Trace?
Polished concrete floors catch the light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows while modern sculptures punctuate the forest-backed grounds. Jennings Trace is a Houston wedding venue in Montgomery, Texas, where a glass chapel and an open-air lounge create a contemporary celebration north of Houston.
Designed as stunning contemporary wedding venue near Houston, Jennings Trace offers both a modern glass chapel with tall windows and a ballroom that twinkles under the moonlight. Cocktail hour can be hosted in the outdoor lounge framed by bistro lights and an electric firepit, and the reception fills a hall of polished concrete, natural light, and modern sculptures, welcoming up to 300 guests.
Every wedding is carried by spacious getting ready suites, dog-friendly ceremony spaces, flexible vendor packages for a curated wedding experience, and white glove planning services, with outdoor cocktail hour spaces set among the sculptures. Packages are also available with flexible add-ons for catering, bar service, entertainment, florals, and more.
Your party prepares in the suites as light floods the adjacent chapel through its tall windows. The glass chapel ceremony begins with the forest visible through every pane, then cocktail hour moves to the outdoor lounge, where sculptures and landscaping create a gallery-like setting. Inside, the polished-concrete hall shifts from daylight to designed evening lighting as the reception finds its stride.
Jennings Trace has been honored as a winner of Wedding Wire's Couples' Choice Award. Jennings Trace draws on more than 20 years of experience under the Walters Wedding Estates name, reflected in the 10+ reviews couples have shared after their day here. That experience supports a thoughtful, detail-driven approach to every celebration on the grounds.

Daughter's Magical Wedding at JENNINGS TRACE
A wedding is a momentous event as a couple start their married life. Don't let worries and stress of finding the perfect venue take away from this joyous time. My daughter's wedding was at JENNINGS TRACE. Our host, CORBIN and her crew delivered and exceeded on every expectation we asked of them. They were thoroughly professional, totally invested in delivering the absolute Most Magical Wedding with true professionalism and extraordinary service. CORBIN was so personable, attentive, organized, gracious, knowledgeable and available to offer help and suggestions on all aspects of wedding planning in order to make this event unforgettable. Her suggestions on other vendors for decorations, flowers, cake, etcetera were equally exceptional. SAFARI TEXAS was our caterer and not one of her normal vendors; but promised freshness, crispness, and savoriness on everything and delivered on par with any Michelin Star restaurant.
Our 200+ guests have been raving that this was an "absolute Beautiful and Mesmerizing Venue. Couldn't have been any better anywhere else". I agree wholeheartedly.
If you are looking to have a modern, magical, gorgeous wedding; come see JENNINGS TRACE, ask for CORBIN and have the most magical wedding you could ever have imagined.

The Wedding of Our Dreams
Jennings Trace gave us an even better wedding experience than we could’ve imagined. Corbin is an expert wedding planner; she is organized, responsive, and truly seeks to understand the vision of the bride and groom. The venue is also gorgeous and a perfect fit for anyone looking to have a modern wedding. Also, the vendors that are available in the all-inclusive package are fantastic. Thank you so much for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

My dream wedding
Could not have asked for a better day! My wedding was everything I thought it could be! Everything I talked about with Corbin came to life. Her and her team responded quickly to my emails and phone calls! I chose this venue when it was being built all because Corbin showed me her vision! So pleased with this venue and all of those who made my day as special as it was! Lots of natural light through out the whole property which was perfect for bridal and all wedding photos! Book them!

1000% Recommend!
Our wedding (ceremony & reception) was on 3/30/19 at Jennings Trace and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at this venue! The space feels light and airy, but is also sophisticated and modern. The large windows make you feel as if you’re outdoors, without actually having to deal with the unpredictable Texas weather. It is the perfect blank canvas for the bride who isn’t into the farmhouse trend. We had about 200 guests at our wedding, and there was plenty of room to accommodate everyone with extra space for an even bigger dance floor (which we definitely used). The physical venue itself is such a unique gem in the greater Houston area and I’d 1000% recommend to anyone and everyone who is searching for their dream wedding venue.
One of my favorite aspects of the venue however is the owner and coordinator, Corbin Mock. She was an absolute dream to work with! She was superrrr helpful during the planning process, and she, along with her team, made sure every detail ran smoothly on the day of. We had so many guests with positive comments about the short-haired blonde lady who was running around helping answer guests’ questions, coordinating with vendors, and just getting sh*t done! We truly couldn’t have done it without her! 10/10 would recommend the venue, 12/10 would recommend working with the incredible team behind the beautiful space.

Love Jennings Trace!!
My husband and I got married at Jennings Trace on 3/9/19. First off, the venue is AMAZING. I loved that it was more of a modern feel than a lot of the popular "barn/farmhouse like venues that are popular right now. I loved the contrast of the light walls with dark beams and both the receptions space and ceremony space or filled with the perfect amount of light. It is a beautiful clean slate to decorate anyway you can imagine! Plus the bridal suite is huge and easily fit myself, mom, 8 bridesmaids, plus crew of 3 H&MU team. The whole property is truly exquisite and all of our guests commented on how amazing it was. On top of the beauty of the place, Corbin was so great to work with! Throughout the whole process, she kept us up to date on anything we needed to know. She was always super responsive and helpful whenever we reached out to her, and even was willing to help when we had questions about vendors or anything else. Her years of wedding planning experience were an added bonus that she was willing to share with us! I definitely recommend Jennings Trace for your wedding day!
