Reviews of The Gin at Hidalgo Falls
Review summary
The Gin is a beautiful, unique, and affordable venue on a charming property between College Station and Navasota. Reviewers praised the staff and planner for excellent communication, flexibility, and seamless coordination that made the day stress-free. One minor complaint was a sulfur smell in the honeymoon suite water.
Def Book the Gin at Hidalgo Falls!
During the planning process, Laura and Carly were willing to let us pop in as needed when we had planning and layout questions and I cannot tell you how many times they updated the layout on "All Seated" to accommodate the ever changing environment and number of guest regulations due to COVID. That said, we rented the entire venue for Friday night which worked out great for the Saturday wedding. It allowed the wedding party to stay on site and we were able to start all our events for the weekend on time because of that convenience. The cottages are so cute and all the bridesmaids commented on how comfortable the beds were. There were plenty of plugs for all the girls to get ready for rehearsal and the wedding and our hair stylist and make-up artist also had plenty of room to work. The girls, and guys, loved hanging out and it provided time to "chill" before all the festivities began or in between events.
I cannot say enough about how easy Laura and Carly were to work with, especially during this ever changing climate. They were problem solvers and always willing to lift a helping hand, from moving chairs at the last minute to handling issues with guests to helping pick up any trash that may have been left behind due to decorating.
If you are looking for something different, something out of the ordinary, something that isn't a barn, a place that is relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is your place.

Our Wedding Miracle
Ben and I toured and signed the very next day. Our wedding day ended up being absolutely wonderful, and everything ran so smoothly. Any small technical issues that came up were handled quickly and discreetly by Jael, and we never had to stress.
Jael is the real superstar here—her communication truly went above and beyond from start to finish. The venue itself is gorgeous, and everything was set up exactly how we envisioned. I’m so, so grateful we found this place!
Perfect day!
We love the Gin!!
Just amazing!
Absolutely amazing- city meets country meets the outdoors
