About

The Gage Hotel is a historic Spanish-style hotel and wedding venue located in Marathon, Texas. Built in 1927 and nestled in the scenic Texas Mountain Region, this sophisticated and versatile wedding destination is the perfect setting for a destination wedding.

The Gage offers almost all-inclusive services. We handle almost every detail including all event planning and design, catering, staff, bar, set up and rentals, floral and décor and wedding cake. We have about five options for ceremony/reception and can handle everything from rehearsal dinner, bridal luncheon, ceremony, reception, and farewell breakfast. Because we handle almost everything, we make a great choice for busy professionals who don’t want the stress of managing the details of a destination wedding. For the services we do not provide - music and photographer - we provide a preferred list of professionals that we trust and recommend.

Clients must block the entire hotel during the busy season and commit their guests to a minimum two night stay.

Accommodation

This 45-room hotel provides premier luxury and a multitude of amenities and activities. From a full-service spa and heated swimming pool to a fitness center and planned outings to Big Bend National Park, The Gage Hotel offers guests a variety of on-site entertainment. In addition to our beautiful facilities we have three restaurants, The 12 Gage, V6 Coffee Bar and the Brick Vault BBQ and Brewery.

Perfect West Texas Wedding

We planned our small (85 person) West Texas wedding from afar. Michelle and Meagan worked with us from the jump to book fabulous videographers (31 Films), photographers (The Nichols), and the best wedding band anyone had ever seen or heard (The Mott’s). The venue appealed to us both for sentimental reasons but also because it was a one stop shop. Michelle and her team took care of every detail for us from linens to flowers to food and cake. It made wedding planning for two busy professionals a breeze. The flowers were stunning, the food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. All of our guests stayed on site and loved the accommodations - the rooms are comfortable and well appointed. All of our guests remarked at how seamlessly the day ran. If you are considering getting married anywhere near Big Bend, I can’t recommend the team at the Gage enough.

Perfect wedding weekend in a desert oasis

Michelle and the rest of the team at the Gage were phenomenal to work with. They were very in-tune with what we were looking for, and did everything possible to make sure they provided what we were envisioning and that our guests were comfortable. The room block was easy to manage, the rooms were perfect, the flowers were absolutely phenomenal, and the food was the best anyone had ever had at a wedding.

I highly recommend you talking to the Gage if you're considering getting married in the Big Bend area. All of our guests continue to rave about the Gage, and we are so happy that we chose to get married in Marathon.

If you decide to get married at the Gage, you will not be disappointed! Michelle West and Devin Pierce are phenomenal and will make the entire process so easy and FUN! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the best weekend of our lives! We will be back to celebrate our anniversary next year!

The Gage Hotel is one of the most beautiful wedding venues I've ever been to. They spend a lot of time and invest much of their money on maintaining their grounds which means it's incredibly photogenic. I've been fortunate enough to shoot there and see their amazing team put together gorgeous weddings in all aspects of the day. They have large grounds which means there are many spots to pick from in terms of ceremony location and photo ops. Their floral design team is creative, spunky, and flexible - they're good at what they do and also love doing it. The Gage also pulls off some amazing meals with their stellar restaurant team and will often pair florals with their delicious wedding cakes. Off of the main hotel grounds, The Gage has an immense garden full of walking paths, a wire gazebo, and native plants. There are numerous suites and even a whole mansion full of lush southwestern decor that can be rented out for wedding parties. Their spa is incredibly relaxing and a great place for the bridal party to get ready before the big day. Not to mention, the location is smack dab in the middle of one of the most photogenic and magical desert areas around! Their team caters to their clients in an intimate way, and makes sure weddings run smoothly and on schedule. This is of course not only good for clients, but great for a photographer like myself, who can work best when everything falls into place at the right time. I can't recommend this venue enough.
