    Sereno Estate

    Perfect venue for outdoor/indoor receptions. There are options to book venue all weekend which is amazing for prepping and setting up day prior to make day of move smoothly. We had rain on our day of so we moved garden dinner inside the main hall. The hall has a charming vintage vibe with tall ceilings and dark wood beams that sat our 70 guests very comfortably (tables and chairs are included). The garden has wonderful greenery, plants, large stoned pathways along with lots of lighting perfect for an outdoor dinner and trails for strolling during cocktail hour. The barn adjacent is a great party barn - lots of space for dancing and the windows along the walls are amazing for a breeze to flow through. Venue requires all vendors, DJ and photographer to be insured and a day of coordinator. We accepted owners suggestion for Joyus Occasions and I can’t recommend her enough! Best planner/coordinator by far, will walk you through all the ins and out from start to finish and make your vision come true. We loved the venue, thank you Sereno Estate !

    Rob & Pa's Gorgeous Wedding Day

    We had our wonderful Wedding at the Sereno Estates in Jan 2026. The property was gorgeous and maintained. Very large property with numerous locations to get married. With a fabulous large venue for our dinner and activities. Great outside patio area with many statues and room for a large group. The barn was the best place for our reception. We had a full size bridal's room and groom's room large enough for the brides maids and groomsmen. There were a few ABNB places to stay within walking distance. Chris and Jessica were great hosts and responded quickly. They were very social and helpful throughout the whole process. They provided so much information to assist in ensuring this was a wonderful wedding. TY ❤️

    Dinner & Auction Event

    We hosted our dinner & auction event in main indoor event venue. The room has a very warm and classic feel. The beautiful antiques and mass amounts of windows were enough to hold your interest, we didn't have to add any elaborate centerpieces (which saved us money). We opted for rich tones, simple tablecloths, chargers and flameless candles to elevate the room.

    Our event hosted 50 guests and there was plenty of room for 4 auction tables, a dessert table, a 4 piece live band, dance area, buffet and cash bar.

    The properties Event Manager was on scene throughout the night to ensure our needs were addressed. She was tremendously helpful in ensuring we had WiFi access, enough trash cans etc... She was kind , professional and presented herself well.

    This venue offers many unique indoor and outdoor venues that you can't find anywhere else. The long drive from the main road makes it an enchanted hideaway. The owners were also very helpful with catering recommendations and floor plans.

    Everything went off without a hitch and we had the most amazing time!

    Perfect Venue for Wedding and Photoshoots

    We recently used this venue for our engagement photoshoot, and it was absolutely stunning! The property is beautiful with plenty of space, making it easy to capture a variety of gorgeous backdrops. It would also be the perfect wedding venue! The bridal suite is incredible, complete with a shower and bed that feels just like a luxurious hotel room, and the groom’s suite is equally impressive. Whether you’re looking for a place to say “I do” or just want a breathtaking location for photos, I highly recommend this venue!

    The most intimate place for your big day

    Our experience at Sereno estate was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the breathtaking architecture of the venue left us in awe. The seamless blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication set the perfect tone for our celebration.

    One of the most memorable highlights was the stunning statue garden, which provided an enchanting backdrop for our ceremony. The attention to detail in the landscaping, coupled with the serene ambiance, created an atmosphere that felt almost magical. Guests couldn’t stop raving about its beauty.

    Chris and Jessica were equally exceptional, delivering impeccable service with grace and professionalism. Every detail was meticulously attended to, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

    Whether it was the grand ballroom with its soaring ceilings, the tasteful decor, or the captivating outdoor spaces, every aspect of the venue exuded charm and refinement. Sereno Estate truly made our wedding day unforgettable, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a venue that embodies elegance and sophistication.

    Wonderful!

    Our daughter got married at Sereno Estate in December 2023. Christopher and Jessica were so responsive and helpful. Being our first child to get married and only daughter, we had many questions, and they went above and beyond to answer all concerns/questions and made us feel very comfortable with everything. They had many suggestions for vendors and they were all perfect! The venue is perfect! Very cozy and romantic! I cannot rave about them enough!

    Beautiful venue

    We got a three day package for our small intimate wedding in order to get to experience the beautiful property and all it had to offer. The best part of the property is the French countryside inspired statue garden with a gravel path for those rainy days. We got a beautiful bridal suite that was perfect for the night before that was perfect for get ready photos and even better for the makeup and hairstylist. Our ceremony was to take place outside in front of the beautiful huge tree however the rain crushed my dreams. Christopher and Jessica, the owners, were amazing to work with and so flexible they allowed us to turn their barn into our ceremony space instead. The Grand Hall was beautiful for our reception with a beautiful grand piano and beautiful stone fireplace. The owners responded so quickly to any texts or phone calls to fix any issues that popped up within a timely manner. I absolutely have fallen in love with the property and the owners and cannot wait to see what new additions they add to this venue! Definitely looking forward to visiting again. Highly recommend to any brides looking for a beautiful wedding site.

    Sereno Farms is a gem!

    Sereno Farms is a beautiful gem. Set in a working lavender farm, this European inspired venue is the perfect setting for intimate gatherings, from weddings to showers to rehearsal dinners to corporate retreats to board meetings. Featuring a luxurious casita, it’s perfect for a weekend B&B getaway, as well! Sereno Farms was envisioned and lovingly built by Chris and Jessica Walters, owners. As a wedding officiant, I have the honor of experiencing many, many venues across Texas. The ceremony sites are perfectly situated, and the vibe of Sereno Farms is quite special. Personally, I’m always happy to be in the peaceful space, walk through the gardens, and enjoy the laid back, personally focused hospitality. Sereno Farms has so much to offer; it is in a class unto itself.

    Our Italian Reimagined Wedding!

    At first, it was hard to find Sereno Estates on GPS and it took us to the wrong address . We almost had given up hope, but I’m sure glad that we didn’t & gave it a 2nd chance . Because when we went to tour, it ended up being the venue of our dreams! From the stone masonry (castle effect) , the fireplace/grand piano, the cute bride & Groom suites, the water fountains, Greek statues, the beautiful back drops, this venue fulfilled all our needs & fit perfectly for our Italian Re-Imagined wedding theme! We found Chris & Jessica to be friendly yet professional. We were happy with the quality of venue, the grounds, & they enabled us to have everything we wanted on our big day! We felt the pricing deal for the 2 1/2 days package is affordable & within our budget! It allowed our families to arrive early Saturday & get settled in , have the rehearsal, & rehearsal dinner right on site! We got married Sunday , had perfect weather in January praise God! Enjoyed the ceremony, reception, danced till we were hot and then opened up the big doors to let the cool air in! It was perfect & the send off was magical w sparklers! 🧨 we love the way our pictures turned out at Sereno Estates! We have already referred someone to yall! Thank you so much 😊, Sarah & Cody Binkley ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The Orr Wedding

    Christopher and Jessica made us feel so comfortable and cared for! We have a 4 year old daughter and they always made it a point to ask about her and include her in all of our planning! They were so helpful and gave us wonderful recommendations for our food, drinks, cellist, wedding planner, and more! The venue was and is absolutely stunning, but working with this couple made it even better! Thank you for everything you did for our family and are so grateful to be a part of the Sereno family!

    Please save your money and time

    got married here on October 18th, and while the property itself has potential, I unfortunately cannot recommend this venue to future couples. What should have been one of the happiest days of my life turned into a stressful and disappointing experience due to how poorly the venue was managed.

    Cleanliness and readiness were another major problem. The barn and garden—both of which we paid for—were full of leftover pumpkins and Halloween decorations from a previous festival. Spiderwebs hung throughout the venue, and it was clear that the property had not been properly cleaned before our wedding day.

    Chris did allow us early access, but only because the coordinator Joy he recommended failed to communicate with my decorator, who had already arranged her arrival time. From there, every simple request I made was met with passive-aggressive comments and resistance. For example, I once asked him to move his car to make it easier for my decorator to unload heavy items, and he acted completely confused and uncooperative.

    He frequently presented himself as someone who cared about making our day special, but his actions showed otherwise. He often redirected every question to the coordinator (who he had personally recommended), only to later get upset that we were communicating with her instead of him.

    On the day of the wedding, he was still texting me about minor issues, such as a broken lantern, instead of handling them quietly so I could enjoy my big day. At one point, he even caused a scene in front of my guests, speaking to me in a condescending tone as if I were his daughter. His demeanor throughout the process was dismissive, controlling, and inconsiderate.

    Even during our rehearsal dinner, when he had previously told us we could grill outside, he tried to move us to the parking lot at the last minute. We had told his coordinator weeks in advance that we were grilling right outside. She never asked to see a permit, which we have and would've changed the name of the venue on the permit if only she had told us. After all the planning, setup, and effort that went into it, we were ready to cancel everything until he finally agreed to let us proceed as planned.

    Chris refused to let us move the dried-up, brown plants around the venue and garden because he said he had “worked for years” to grow them—even though they looked dead and unkempt. It truly felt like every request that would’ve made our day smoother or more beautiful was met with unnecessary resistance. He also gave me a hard time when it came to moving some old and large furniture in the main hall. The place is small and I needed more space so my 45 guests could dance, and he was just so uncooperative.

    Vendors who worked at the venue before quietly mentioned their relief that he wasn’t present during my reception because of our arguments during the rehearsal dinner, apparently, he tends to walk around during weddings, inspecting food and décor dressed in pajamas. That alone says a lot.

    In short, Chris seemed far more concerned with his own comfort and money than with creating a memorable, joyful experience for his clients. Please, if you’re considering this venue, save yourself the stress and disappointment. There are far better-managed and more caring venues out there that will actually make your wedding day feel like the dream you’re paying for.

    Sereno Estate's reply:

    Its always difficult to know how to reply to a critical review. While we are truly disappointed that Aurora feels strongly enough to leave a one star review, we also feel it necessary to reply honestly.

    The difficulty began after she bounced a 3000 dollar check and then began trying to renegotiate the contract to get a lower price. Prior to this, the Client had been extremely positive and effusive in her communication.

    We could have at that point terminated the contract but instead allowed her mother to send in additional payments to bring the account curent.

    Our unwillingness to lower the venue price however after the bounced check led to repeated complaints and multiple contract violations by the Client.

    For example, she scheduled the party rental company to arrive 6 hours before the contracted venue rental time. The client called in tears pleading with us to allow early access or she would have to pay 600 dollars more to the rental company to change the time. At no cost to the Client, we provided her early access to the venue.

    The client mentioned grilling. Her father owns a taco truck and wanted to grill in an area not approved for cooking. We informed her that grilling wasn't allowed except in designated areas. She agreed. The day of the rehearsal dinner we found her father grilling inches from the dance floor,, in the exact spot we had denied. When confronted, her father became aggressive and began shouting expletives.

    When we informed the Client that continied repeated violations of the contract and aggressive guest behavior would not be tolerated, she sent a long text to our staff that we are too restrictive and too expensive and threatened us with a bad review.

    Since the wedding she has managed to compel other vendors to refund up to 50 percent of their hard earned fees under threat of a bad review.

    Sereno works very hard with all our vendors to provide a 5 star experience. We aren't perfect but we try very hard. We stand behind our cleaners, our grounds crews and our vendors. When we discover a problem we work quickly to fix it. Our coordinators are carefully recommended based on their petformance at dozens of weddings.

    We truly wish this client well.
