Wonderful Venue

I can't begin to thank the Hidden Gem of Gruene for everything they did for us prior to our wedding day, the day of the wedding and after. The treated us like family and ensured not only us (the bride and groom) were taken care of but guests as well. Our wedding changed from in indoor to an outdoor ceremony and Katie and Joey were quick to make those accommodations. We also stayed at the cabin that is on the venue grounds. The cabin was very spacious and cozy. I highly recommend the Hidden Gem of Gruene for any and all parties.

Amazing venue and staff

We loved every minute of our wedding/reception at Old Mill Resort. The staff were easy to work with and flexible. They took care of every detail. The condos were the perfect way to relax and hang out with our family after a very rough 12 months. Anyone looking for a destination venue, look no further! Stacey
