    Amazing Venue

    From the moment my fiancé and I saw this venue we knew we wanted to share our special moment here next year! It’s absolutely stunning!

    Beautiful Hill Country Venue

    We love Mae's Ridge! There are so many venues to choose from in the Hill Country and Mae's Ridge stands out from all of them. The reception area is so light and airy, which is very different from the other venues we looked at. The pavilion was perfect for setting up games and chairs for our guests to enjoy the beautiful weather we were blessed with on our wedding day. The ceremony site is gorgeous and has a great hill country view and a beautiful arch that we added florals to but also looks so elegant standing alone. The boys loved the groom's suite with the big TV, pool table, and other games to keep them busy all day. The bridal suite is a little bit on the small side, but with me, my five bridesmaids, and my mom and two mother-in-laws it worked perfectly. We had a great experience with all the staff at Mae's Ridge and even the owners were there the day of our wedding! They were also helping out and ensuring everyone was having a good time. We highly recommend this space for a hill country wedding.

    Mae's Ridge set the standard for our wedding

    Where do we begin this testimonial?

    From the first time we came on site, Joell and Rick were friendly, accommodating and as down to Earth as they come. Less is more here, and this modern farmhouse along with the Hill Country views all speak for itself. It was a no-brainer to choose this venue.

    Then, for the big day.... We were told by others who've been married to expect some stuff to go wrong, and to let it slide and remember the big picture... I thought my wife and I were impervious to it until we discovered that our bartending vendor had failed to come on time - AND IT WAS ALREADY COCKTAIL HOUR.

    Thank God, the worst wasn't even bad, because the drinks were being served by Joell and Rick who had stepped up huge, and you'd have never known that they were the owners and not the bartenders!

    The day seemed like a fairytale blur, and even though the bartending service royally dropped the ball, it was mitigated by them. Plus, they accommodated our fur family! I can't recommend them, their service and their establishment any stronger for your big day; you won't regret it.

    Mae's Ridge's reply:

    What an amazing couple! You two really rolled with the punches with that bartending situation- we actually had a blast! Thank goodness we now have Peak Beverage hosting our bar and that will never happen again!
    We always love fur babies too!!!

    Father of the bride

    Great venue. Had my daughter’s wedding there last May. Everything went great. Was very happy we chose Mae’s Ridge. Couldn’t have selected a better place to have the wedding.

    Mae's Ridge's reply:

    Thank you Richard! We had a great time meeting you and the rest of your beautiful and fun family! Please come and visit again!

    May 2023 Wedding

    Our experience with Mae’s Ridge was absolutely wonderful! They were responsive to all of our questions and worked to accommodate as many of our requests as they could. Our favorite part was that they allowed us to have our pups there the day of the wedding. They also provided us with some amazing vendor recommendations. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful our venue was. If you’re wanting a gorgeous venue in the Hill Country, Mae’s Ridge is the one!

    Mae's Ridge's reply:

    Wow, what a gorgeous wedding!!! Yes we always love pups here at Mae's Ridge!! Come back for life photos!!

    Perfect Day!

    Mae's Ridge offers beautiful ceremony sites and reception areas! My daughter's ceremony overlooked the beautiful hill country and we had a lovely cool breeze as we watched the ceremony. The reception area was so comfortable and open, (we opened the garage doors) guests enjoyed both the openness and beautifully decorated lawn, indoor reception areas. Plenty of room to dance and party the night away!

    Breathtaking venue

    When looking for a wedding venue my goal was to find a location that didn’t scream traditional. I wanted a place that my guest could come and go, “Wow! I’ve never been to a wedding somewhere like THIS!” And boy, did we find it! From start to finish the experience with Mae’s Ridge (and Joell and Rick, the owners), was incredible! I could write a novel, but here are the highlights -

    *Communication with Joell and Rick was very accessible, prompt, and warm-hearted

    *There are several ceremony sites to fit any wedding vibe (and rain back up spots that are ALSO beautiful…not always the case with other venues we walked)

    *With their location on the Ridge the sunsets and the pics you can get…I mean helllooooo?! Say no more, out of this world…magazine level wow!

    *Joell’s eye for design is next level!! —> with no decorations the venue is breathtaking, so even minimal additions takes it beyond expectation

    All in all, our experience was wonderful and I would strongly encourage anyone considering MR to jump on it fast! I am confident that this venue will become an iconic staple of the hill country wedding world as the years go on.

    Amazingggg 10/10

    My husband and I can truly never put into words how happy we are to have gotten married at Mae's Ridge! It is the most beautiful venue we have ever seen, and it felt like it was truly made for us. We knew right when we saw it that this was the place we would say "I Do." From the beautiful hill country backdrop, to our perfect outdoor dinner under the pavillion, to the cutest CHAIRS ever (chairs - yes, they're beautiful) I could go on and on about how perfect this place is. Like seriously. Our guests were stunned as well.

    However, more than the gorgeous venue and stunning location, we are SO GRATEFUL for Joell and Rick, the venue's owners. They are wonderful people, and we felt like we've known them forever. They went above and beyond for us, making sure every part of our day went smoothly. We planned our wedding during COVID-19, and they were willing to do anything we needed to help us keep our guests safe and calm all anxieties. We ended up postponing our wedding reception, but we are so excited to go back and celebrate even more, once we are able! They can't get rid of us that easily :)

    Our wedding was truly made perfect by this venue. We cannot ever imagine picking another place. Easiest, best decision ever. We will love and support this couple and this venue for life!

    A Dream Venue

    Mae's Ridge is an outstanding, beautiful, and one-of a kind venue that made our wedding exactly how me and my Husband dreamed it would be. The moment we first saw Mae's Ridge, we instantly fell in love with it. The venue itself is beautiful designed, with personal touches everywhere. The layout is perfect for weddings and social gatherings, with lots of options to tailor exactly to what you want. If there was one thing my guests said to me the most on my wedding night is, "How did you find this AMAZING VENUE?!"

    Joell and Rick are wonderful and the sweetest people. We loved working with them and they made everything so simple and effortless. They are truly the heart of Mae's Ridge that gives the venue radiant, beautiful life!

    Very professional and accommodating

    A brand new, modern venue with remarkable views of the Austin, Tx hillsides. The venue is uniquely designed with multiple ground spaces so you can flow from ceremony, to cocktails and dinner, then to the reception.

    Mae's Ridge's reply:

    Thank you Carrie! Wow, I can't say enough how gorgeous the wedding was! Thank you for making Mae's Ridge even more beautiful with such creative décor and, of course, a stunning bride and groom!

    April 2021 Wedding

    Our daughter's wedding was help in April at Mae's Ridge. Rick and Joell are the best! No request was too big or too difficult, the coordination with our planners and vendors was impeccable and the site is just amazing. All our guests complimented us on the choice of Mae's Ridge and it was a perfect wedding.

    Price to value can't be beat. Not to mention the ability to use any caterer willing to come to the venue. Absolutely worth every penny.

    Incomparable

    This venue is one of a kind! We booked it before it was even completed. Now seeing the finished product my fiancé and I made the best choice we could have ever made. THIS. PLACE. IS. GORGEOUS.
    We cannot wait to get married this October!

    Mae's Ridge's reply:

    Thank you Kaitlyn! I know, you have been along for the long haul! Thank you for trusting our vision. We are so excited for your upcoming wedding! Finally it's almost here! See you soon!

    It’s A Dream

    Mae’s Ridge is the modern farmhouse of my dreams with elegant finishes and touches of fun with its mid century flair! Joell & Rick have created something truly special and it’s because they put so much love into this space! My fiancé and I were so moved by their desire to bring this venue to life and all the gorgeous renderings that we chose this venue when it was not even completed! I can’t say enough how magical this place is, when you come visit, you’ll feel it too.

    Excellent Venue And Hosts

    This was an out of town wedding for us. We had visited six or eight facilities throughout the Hill Country in search of the perfect one. It became abundantly evident soon after our arrival that Mae’s Ridge was that venue and so much more. My daughter (Bride) is a Wedding Planner by profession and she too, was equally impressed. The owners Joell & Rick were very accommodating and truly have created something very special in the Texas Hill Country. A place worthy of a drive from most anywhere in the state!

    The best!

    Joell and Rick are the most incredible couple who will do everything possible to make your day exactly how you imagined. The space is nothing less than perfect + an absolute DREAM for us! When we decided to tour venues (we had no clue what we were doing), but had 5 scheduled!!!! THANKFULLY Mae's Ridge was first on our list!!!! The second we walked in we got the "without a doubt" feeling, knowing it was the one for us. My groom and I looked at each other and said "we don't want to go anywhere else!" As the tour went on -and I may add they popped the champagne as we walked around- the space continued to check every single box. We are forever grateful that we stumbled upon this venue, and it will forever hold such a special place in our lives. Thank YOU to Mae's Ridge for being everything we could have ever wanted and more!

    Gorgeous Venue, Wonderful Team!

    Mae's Ridge was the perfect venue for us! We were looking for something that was modern, but that had plenty of space on pretty hill country land. That can be hard to find as most "country" settings include a rustic barn vibe for the reception hall. We love the indoor/ outdoor nature of the space and that has been especially helpful being a bride during 2020. Mae's Ridge is gorgeous and working with their team was fantastic. Joell and Rick's space is new, but they went above and beyond to get me all the info needed and on the day of the wedding they were so helpful! I highly recommend this gorgeous venue!

    Cannot wait to get married here!

    The moment my fiancé and I stepped foot on this property we knew we had to have our big day here. In fact, this was our 2nd tour, and after, we cancelled all our other tours. Not only is this venue gorgeous, the owners (Joell and Rick) are incredible. We can't wait to start our lives together here!

    Beautiful Venue

    After seeing Mae’s Ridge I knew that’s where I had to have my wedding! Everything about the venue is absolutely amazing. The details throughout the venue, modern chic vibes, and the views don’t compare to the other venues my fiancé and I looked at. The owners Joell and Rick have been wonderful to work with! They are so helpful and some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to get married here in June!

    Mae's Ridge's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are looking forward to hosting your wedding in June! Joell and Rick
