About this venue

The Chapel at Gruene is a boutique wedding venue tucked away in the heart of New Braunfels, Texas. Located on ten private acres of beautiful Texan farmland, this picturesque chapel and enclosed reception hall provides once-in-a-lifetime occasions with a rustic yet elegant setting. It features everything a couple needs to bring their "I do's" to life, including stunning natural surroundings, a dedicated management team, and inviting overnight lodging.

Facilities and Capacity

The Chapel at Gruene can comfortably accommodate intimate weddings of up to 100 guests. The quaint and charming chapel is designed to resemble a classic country barn, complete with white shiplap walls, long white benches, high ceiling beams, and beautiful barn doors. A short path will then lead you to the newly completed enclosed reception hall where your celebration will take place. This ornate space features a modern French Country aesthetic, stunning exposed wooden beams, and exquisite chandeliers and lighting throughout. Your friends and family can mingle in the outdoor area where wooden cocktail tables and outdoor games are set up for cocktail hour. You can celebrate your love story under the Texan night sky in a romantic woodlands setting. You are free to decorate both spaces according to your wedding theme and tastes.

At The Chapel at Gruene, we are ready to help you put every detail in place so that you can enjoy your wedding to the fullest. We provide on site assistance to give you extra peace of mind throughout the day. Outside vendors are also permitted so that you can truly celebrate your day the way you have envisioned.

So your loved ones can enjoy a restful night’s stay, the beautifully appointed cottages sleep up to 25 people and are included in your wedding package.

Incredible venue and incredible people!

We truly could not have chosen a better venue than Chapel at Gruene for our wedding! Michael Tompkins and his entire team are simply the best. MAJOR shout out to Joel who oversaw our day and made sure that we had the absolute best and most stress free experience possible. He took such amazing care of us and we are forever grateful.

The property itself is stunning. Even in the middle of January, the grounds were lush, green, and beautifully maintained. The bridal suite deserves its own special mention. It is so thoughtfully designed and honestly one of the most beautiful bridal suites I’ve ever seen. It has the perfect balance of classic, classy, and feminine. And I have to give a special shoutout to the bathtub, which ended up being the backdrop for some of my favorite photos of the entire day.

Our friends and family also loved staying on the property. The tiny houses were charming, comfortable, and incredibly well equipped.
We feel so lucky to have had our wedding at Chapel at Gruene. Our guests were blown away, and it was truly the most magical place to celebrate such an important day.

Witmer Wedding

We recently had our wedding with the Chapel and our day was perfect. The services provided, the venue itself, and everyone we worked with help make our day so special. We are so grateful for Michael and Joel for helping from the moment we signed the contract to the end of our wedding.

A Must for Your Wedding!

My husband and I decided to have our wedding out of state, from Maryland. Michael was very responsive and gave us a Facetime tour of the place to help us visualize the layout. My favorite and my savior was their Bride Guide. I referenced that guide so many times until the big day.

On the day of, I felt so welcomed by the staff. Shout out to Joel for being so friendly and down to earth! We were able to tour during the setup and it was absolutely gorgeous (we had the wedding mid-October and the weather was perfect). Every part of the venue, including the four cottages and the bridal suite, was amazing! There are no faults in booking with Michael and The Chapel at Gruene. It meant a lot that Michael personally came by when I was heading to the ceremony. I had the best time here and I highly recommend it here!

Perfect Venue

I toured a lot of venues and none of them felt right until the Chapel at Gruene. All the other venues I looked at had so many rules and didn’t want to work with what I envisioned. When I first went to the Chapel at Gruene I was greeted by Michael the owner and he is so friendly and flexible. He truly wanted the day to be what my husband and I wanted. There’s a feeling when you go to this venue that takes the stress of all the planning away. It’s truly so special. Our wedding day went perfect and the pictures couldn’t be more beautiful. I highly recommend!🤍

Beautiful, dreamy, and romantic venue

What a hidden gem in the heart of New Braunfels, TX. Michael and his team worked with us over the span of the past year to ensure that we had the wedding of our dreams - communication was quick and the venue itself has so much to offer. The chapel, courtyard, and reception doesn’t even need too much decor as it is beautiful on its own. The cottages afterwards were nice as we were able to continue our “after party” with our friends and immediate family. Michael even allowed my dog as part of the ceremony. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for friendly staff, a beautiful venue, and comfy overnight lodging tucked into one. Not to mention, Michael and his team ensured the affordability of their venue. I can’t express enough gratitude. Thank you for making my dream wedding come to life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
