Gorgeous venue

Amy was not only so professional and helpful, her background in planning made it so much easier to plan and handle our wedding. She was always cheerful and positive. In addition the venue is so gorgeous that it made decorating less overwhelming. The guests loved so much they took pics for themselves to make as pfp

Stunning, well-considered venue with a wonderful host!

My wife and I had our wedding at The Gardens in late April 2023 and had a fantastic experience both staying in the Chateaus on the grounds, enjoying the beautiful grounds and amenities, and the main event space. Amy is communicative, very knowledgeable and kind, and even welcomed us and some of our guests the day we arrived on-site! The venue is absolutely gorgeous with a nice variety of spaces for people to explore and enjoy. To speak to Amy's responsiveness, we had a crazy heavy rain and thunderstorm the evening before our wedding which led to one of the windows in a chateau leaking--most of our guests were Texans well familiar with pouring rain, so we set some towels down, let Amy know, and kept celebrating! Amy and her staff were there first thing in the morning refinishing the window. We loved staying in the chateaus and are so grateful that we could enjoy this stunning, well-considered space with such a warm host. Thank you so much!

Beautiful Venue

This was the first venue that we visited and Amy set the bar so high that the rest of the venues that we visited that same day did not compare. She is so sweet and very helpful with the planning process on top of providing such a beautiful venue. Amy also introduced me to our wedding planner after our first wedding planner quit on us at the start of the pandemic, which I am so very grateful. We loved the French themed gardens and buildings, and our guests complemented us on such a beautiful wedding venue. She was also very accommodating and understanding especially when we had to reschedule our wedding date due to the height of the pandemic. It was such a stressful time and Amy took care of us and we really appreciate her. I highly recommend This venue for your dream wedding.

Best venue ever!!!

My wife and I were looking for a venue in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area that didn't have a rustic theme. We found a few places but ultimately visited with Amy at the Gardens and fell in love with her and her amazing venue. She's extremely passionate about her venue and hosting weddings and it really shows. The European styling set in the Texas hill country make this place romantic, intimate, and a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding. Amy gave us a list of her recommended vendors and she nailed it on every one. Almost all of our vendors were from her list and our wedding turned out AMAZING!!! We can't thank her enough for providing us the most amazing wedding experience we could imagine. My wife and I both agree our wedding here exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a place to have an amazing wedding go visit the Gardens... I guarantee you'll love it!!

Amy is the best!!

I loved the Gardens of Cranesbury View for my wedding! Amy has done such an awesome job creating the most beautiful space. She also is so kind and thoughtful. She loves what she does and it shows in her work. I felt instantly comfortable with her. She makes you feel like a friend and not just another person getting married at her venue.
Ps there are also chickens and it’s so fun!

Mother of the Bride Review

I honestly don’t know where to begin to talk about how absolutely fantastic it was to work with Amy and having my daughter’s wedding at this venue this past weekend. Forgive me if my thoughts seem all over the place... it was just that great of an experience!!! We were the first family to AirBnB the Bridal House and it was worth every penny. My daughter and I met Amy at Bridal Expo back in Jan of 2020 and made an immediate connection with her and once we toured the venue my daughter didn’t want to look anywhere else. The AirBnB house sleeps 20 and offered enough sleeping rooms for the entire bridal party and a few family members. All of the beds were queens or larger. Everything was clean and organized fully stocked linens and towels! Amy even left champagne, orange juice and eggs in the fridge for us. The convenience of being able to stay on-site for the weekend pays for itself. Our coordinator was able to do a lot of pre-decorating on Friday night, our bridal party didn’t have to have hotel rooms or rental cars. As a Mom my heart and mind was at ease because no one was driving home late after the reception was over. Amy’s attention to detail is impeccable. There was never a time that she wasn’t available to answer our questions or concerns during the last 12 months of planning. Even in the midst of COVID she reassured us along the way even having security on the ready taking temperatures before entry. And keeping with CDC guidance along the way. My husband was so happy with everything that he’s considering using the venue again for his upcoming Military retirement. It was very evident to us from jump that Amy loves God and loves people. Her passion for this industry shines through throughout the venue and the Bridal House. We didn’t have to leave the property at all until it was time to check out. If you’re looking for a venue that truly has everything... look no further. Amy has become like family to us now and we are so grateful to have made the connection with her. All of our family and friends were throughly impressed with The Gardens of Cranesbury View. The great experience of this past weekend will forever be solidified in our hearts. ♥️♥️♥️

Absolutely perfect venue, exceeded our expectations

Absolutely stunning setting for our wedding, could not have been happier! When we first visited TGCV we were immediately taken with the grounds and how lovely and well maintained the gardens were. We were determined to stick to our budget and Amy helped us select a wedding date and day that would meet our pricing, and gave us a list of vendors to use--all of whom were professional and reasonably priced. After a lot of searching and price checking, we booked Amy for her coordinating services as well which was really the key to how exceptional our day was. We were able to drop items/decorations off early to alleviate same day stresses, she asked for our vision on the things we were specific about and used her years of experience to fill in the rest and perfectly captured the feeling we wanted for our day. We had a large wedding party but she was still able to move quickly and professionally through the rehearsal with our rowdy crew. The wedding day went like literal clockwork and it was breathtaking to see the stunning grounds set up in the way my fiance and I had imagined. Every detail was tended to which made our day completely carefree and Amy kept things running smoothly. Our guests absolutely loved being able to tour the gardens throughout the evening. I can't possibly recommend this venue or this vendor as highly as they deserve, by the time your wedding day is done you will know just as we did that this was the best decision you could've made!

Our wedding on June 12, 2020

When we visited the Gardens of Cranesbury View for the first time, we instantly knew this was the venue for us! Everything about the gardens is absolutely beautiful. I love how the entire venue displays the beauty of God's creation. I also love the European style set in the Texas hill country. Even one of our guests from Italy said it was the most beautiful wedding venue he has ever seen! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect, even in the midst of a pandemic! We chose Amy as our wedding coordinator as well, and she did an amazing job creating the wedding of our dreams. Because of her we didn't have to worry about all the little details; she took care of everything so we wouldn't have to! I feel so blessed we had Amy's expertise, and I'm so thankful we chose the Gardens of Cranesbury View!

A Texas Hill Country Garden Wedding To Remember!

The Gardens of Cranesbury View is an amazing venue and it was the perfect setting for our wedding and reception. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our outdoor ceremony was, how wonderful the suggested vendors were, and how much fun they had in the gardens. This is all thanks to Amy and her team!

The venue has recently finished large renovations since we booked our date and all changes were for the best! Groomsmen now have the entirety of the lower floor in the main house, while the bride and bridesmaids have their run of the top level (including the balcony). The ceremony site has also been given some TLC, with a walkway and surrounding greenery. Additionally, Amy offers many decorations for rent, a concise and helpful list of vendors, tips and tricks to best use her venue, and complimentary roaming chickens. :D

Amy truly cares about her venue and desires to improve upon it with each and every booking. She lives and breathes weddings, so be ready to match your excitement to hers! You’ll be glad to have Amy on your side and to have this amazing piece of Texas hill country in your memories.

Thank you for everything!

Perfect Venue for the Best Day Ever!

My husband Campbell and I got married at this venue in mid-December , and it is absolutely stunning! It was so beautiful that some of our guests took their Christmas card photos here while waiting for the ceremony to start LOL. Amy (the owner) made us feel seen and known as a couple, and worked hard to create such a special day. Instead of feeling like just another number cycled through the venue, we felt truly loved and celebrated. She is personable and genuine, two character traits that can be rare to find in the wedding industry.

Not only did we have the pleasure of having our wedding at her venue, but we also booked Amy as our wedding coordinator and florist. Since horticulture is Amy’s specialty, the flowers were AMAZING and are still alive in my kitchen long after the wedding. As a coordinator, Amy made sure the day ran smoothly and was thoughtful enough to schedule in time for my husband and I to celebrate alone in the bridal suite. During the reception, she also gave us plenty of time to eat (which hardly ever happens at a wedding). She was a fierce protector of our time and made sure we weren’t bothered at all by communicating with the other vendors on our behalf. Campbell and I are so grateful for Amy, and couldn’t have imagined the day without her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
