    The most perfect venue

    I got married at this venue in October 2023. I had an amazing experience with Sallie and her team who were so patient and kind when helping me figure out all of the little details. The day of, the venue was absolutely gorgeous, I couldn’t have asked for a prettier venue. Sallie was so supportive and you could tell she really cares about her clients and does everything in her power to make sure you have a perfect day. I would highly recommend this venue, there’s so many different options where you can do your ceremony and reception, the venue is beautiful, and Sallie does everything she can to support you and make planning easy. Her pricing is also very reasonable. So glad we found this place!!

    Would book a million times over!

    Sallie and her team are fantastic. They communicate really well, are very kind and the prices are great. The venue is nestled in trees which makes it so peaceful and beautiful. It also has a lot of different options for ceremony/reception places. Jaclyn was our bartender and everyone (including us) LOVED her! We absolutely recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.

    Bluebird Haven Estates is the place!

    Bluebird Haven Estates is the best place to have that perfect wedding all nested with tons of natural beauty, land, nature and birds located in the heart of Madisonville, Texas.

    My wife and I looked at a few other venues, but couldn’t quite get that 100% good vibe until we checked out Bluebird Haven Estates, family owned by Sallie. Sallie and her assistant, Jaclyn worked hard day and night helping us plan our special day with lots of love, affection and care along with always going that extra mile, making sure everything went as smooth and organized as possible.

    The venue is well maintained and with tons of land, lots of amazing unique custom touches, horseshoes for kids (and adults) along with plenty of parking behind the venue in the back as well making Bluebird Haven Estates the one for the win! My wife and I both received so many nice compliments for the wedding venue. The spectacular metal siding/metal roof Venue was gorgeous inside, has a full upstairs bridal suite with a circular window overlooking the property providing a beautiful view and there is also a groomsmen suite downstairs as well. There is an added bonus of a mini sound system in the actual venue which contains a wireless mic and 2 nice size great sounding speakers as well with aux jack for music playing. The venue is equipped with a kitchen containing 2 full size refrigerator/freezer units along with a range and a kitchen sink.

    We loved the dock and pond with the bonus of the multicolored light fountain viewed at night along with the stars and decided to have the ceremony outside. We are very blessed to find this one of a kind gem and everyone had a great time!

    There is a gorgeous guest house available for rent towards the right with a when you enter the property that also has another garden perfect for additional pictures. The guest house sleeps 18 people which is a huge convenience for family! Hotels are also available with in 2 miles of the Venue for guests.

    Perfection!

    Bluebird Haven Estates is picture perfect! This was one of the most important things my husband and I were looking for in a venue. When the place is already so beautiful, minimal decorations are required. Sallie made everything come together for us. She is open-minded to all of your ideas and works with you to make your wedding day exactly what you want. We are still getting compliments from guests on how gorgeous the venue was! On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable. Once you visit this venue, you will fall in love. This place is truly a "haven" in the midst of wedding planning stresses. On my wedding day, I felt completely serene and ready to marry my best friend surrounded by all of our favorite people. Perfection!

    Amazing!!!

    Sallie was so helpful and did a wonderful job for our special day. She made sure everything was how we wanted it and gave us quality service. She even made us a special painting to always remember our day by and really got to know us so that we felt comfortable throughout the whole process. Her prices are also very reasonable. The property is also perfect for a great outdoor wedding!

    Thank you so much Alexa. You were a beautiful bride and your wedding was beautiful. Thank you for coming to Bluebird Haven Estates!

    The perfect wedding day

    Sallie is so sweet and made sure everything was set up how I wanted and made me feel at ease with the whole day! She also did a painting for us at the reception and it was absolutely beautiful and it is something we have hanging up to always remind us of our special day. Everything was perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue to capture exactly what I wanted!

    Delightful!

    This place is magical! The moment we arrived, we were, “greeted” by a mama doe and her three tiny fawns! My granddaughter’s wedding was the sweetest, most perfect day - even in mid-July’s heat. The crew in residence couldn’t have been more accommodating and kind. Sallie Reid took such a personal interest in the day. I’m anxious to see how the future of this haven unfolds as the Lord fulfills His plans!

    Bluebird Haven Estates's reply:

    Thank you so much Bobbye, I fell in love with you all and I know we will be friends for life. The wedding was absolutely stunning. I am so glad I got to be a part of the big day!
    Thanks again,

    Everthing I wanted and MORE!

    The venue is BEAUTIFUL. Everything about the venue was just perfect. The owner, Mrs Sallie, was wonderful. She was able to help me out with any questions I had even before I decided on the venue. She made my wedding planning so much easier and was there with me every step of the way. She was there during the day to making sure that everything was going great and even checked on us the next day. Even with the curve balls I threw her, she was able to make my big day so special. I will never be able to express what a joy she was to deal with. She truly only wants to make your day as special as she can.
    There are several different packages offered that you can choose from with one of the options being that the staff will set up and clean up.

    I would recommend this venue over and over again!

    Bluebird Haven Estates's reply:

    Sweet girl - you were the pleasure - thank you for giving us the opportunity to host your special day!

    Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!!! She is the most welcoming, hospitable, gracious hostess with which to coordinate.

    Bluebird Haven Estates was the perfect venue for our classically elegant wedding ceremony, paired with a down-to-earth, upbeat Southern charm- style reception! The lush grounds, complete with flowing fountain and waterfall surrounded by a sparkling pond, a romantic bridge serving as the backdrop for the couple’s first dance, towering oaks and gorgeous landscaping welcomed all our guests. Inside the venue, the fully-equipped kitchen is perfect for caterers! Our guests and wedding party danced the night away on the huge dance floor while the gorgeous bar, along with bartenders serving signature drinks selected by the bride and groom, completed the celebratory atmosphere!!! We loved every minute of our perfect day, and Sallie, the venue owner, truly is gifted at hospitality and making every couple feel as if theirs is the most special and important wedding in the world! Beyond grateful!!

    Oh Carol what a great compliment. You know how much I love what I do. You are precious!

    Book Blue Bird

    How do I decide where to host the most important celebration of my life? I want a breathtaking venue to memorialize our wedding photos. I need a competent coordinator to assume the responsibilities and stress that comes with wedding planning. A location that all my family can safely travel to is paramount. I am searching for a transparent owner who will walk me through both the financial and artistic aspects that create the perfect wedding. Through all this, I want to find a venue that values the sacredness and beauty of the most important day of this new venture, my wedding. These questions engrossed my thoughts as I searched for a wedding venue. I am sure those reading this can relate. All my thoughts fell to peace when I met the venue owner, Sallie. This brilliant host understood and delivered our needs beyond my wildest expectation. Wedding planning is stressful. As an artist, Sallie’s calming presence and innate eye for beauty keeps you focused on the most important aspects of your special day. As a businesswoman, Sallie’s stellar communication and logistical skills allows her to seamlessly coordinate vendors. She is experienced, professional, and deeply authentic. She shares in your joy, and anticipates the needs of everyone in your wedding party. This stunning venue coupled with Sallie’s expertise absolved the “day of” pressures allowing my family to be fully present in the celebration of a sacred bond, which can often be overshadowed by chaos at other venues. I will forever look back on my wedding in awe of the elegance, joy, and celebration shared by all. My guests kept approaching me with “Congratulations! This is the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to!” and I attribute that to Sallie.

    Bluebird Haven Estates's reply:

    Kate you and John Reid made everything so special. As the mother of the groom I certainly was given another perspective to the whole experience. I love you so much!
    love your new mom ;)

    The best experience ever!

    Bluebird Haven is the most beautiful spot we found. From trees located everywhere on the grounds to the beautiful pond, water fountain and waterfall. We were happy because my son (getting married in March) and soon to be DIL loved not only the venue but LOVED the grounds. It is the perfect location as they both have family and friends coming from Dallas and Houston. Bluebird Haven is located right between the two cities. Another thing to add, the bridal suite is to die for! I was very impressed with the rates considering what Sallie has to offer. Sallie thought of every little detail to make your day special. She also offers a huge piece of your beautiful day to take with you. I’ll let her share that with you. We couldn’t be happier! As a mother wanting to make their child’s day not only perfect but special....I would highly recommend Bluebird Haven.

    Bluebird Haven Estates's reply:

    Denise you and your family are simply precious to me. I cannot wait to see how incredible everything turns out. I love you and always have from since we were kids.
    Thank you for allowing me the honor of hosting your special day!

    Blissful experience

    I am so lucky to have some across this little gem. The Bluebird Haven meet all my expectations and needs when it came to my wedding. Sallie, the owner, was an absolute dream to work with. Very prompt and accommodating to any request. There are multiple areas on the property to get have to the ceremony that you can choose from. I chose to have an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception and it turned out perfect. I would recommend this venue and staff a million times over if I could. Sallie Reid and the Bluebird Haven will always have a special place in my husband and my heart.

    Bluebird Haven Estates's reply:

    I refer to your wedding a lot - everything was so beautiful. Your family was fun to be with. I hope everything is going great for you guys. Sallie

    Gorgeous property

    The property is beautiful and Sallie is wonderful. She’s very thoughtful and cares very much about the weddings and the bride and groom. She even paints gallery quality paintings for you based on your love story. I love the chapel on the property.. both inside and out are beautiful. And the garden and pond areas are refreshing.

    The wedding we wanted!

    The venue was very easy to work with and was able to help us tailor a ceremony and reception that fit our wishes and budget. Communication with the owner and our wedding coordinator was efficient and easy, and we were treated like family rather than a customer which I think is rare in customer service today. The only issue was that our DJ, who we booked through the venue, was not great. With that said we are still happy with our decision to have our wedding at Bluebird Haven Estates and would highly recommend them to other couples!

    Shelby thank you so much for your kind words. You guys were amazing to work with --- I loved your family,

    I want to offer my apologies for our DJ. I learned later he was having a lot of trouble with his back and was in a lot of pain at the time of your wedding preparations and at the wedding itself. He was professional in not giving us a last minute notice he could not come -- which I really did appreciate. I am sorry he was not on his game for your special night - he is usually great fun.
    And just to be sure to anyone reading this review it was in 2023 not 2013 just a typo - ☺️
