    Beautiful and Relaxing Venue

    The Club at Garden Ridge is like a second home to us now. It is so beautiful! We loved finding any excuse to go and visit. When we first got contracted the manager was Kristi, who we loved. It was a little nerve racking when they went through with the management change but now Caroline is the perfect fit and we love her too!

    This venue has it all!

    This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding! It was the very first one my husband and I toured when we started looking. The timing was perfect as I reached out with an inquiry on the same day as one of their open house events. We fell in love with it immediately but decided to look at a few more venues before officially booking. We quickly realized that we wouldn't be able to find anything else that checks all of our boxes: has that romantic and elegant feel we were looking for, was within our budget, and was in a prime location. We had many guests who were coming in from out of town so we needed to make sure there were hotels nearby, full cell service was available, and Uber and Lyft rides were easily attainable. While there are many other beautiful venues in the hill country, their location can be very cumbersome to guests. The Club at Garden Ridge really has it all! On top of that, it is absolutely GORGEOUS.

    Kristi was such a pleasure to work with - she's very organized, responsive, and accomodating. Our day-of coordinator, Shelia, was very sweet and kept checking on me to make sure I have everything I need. Our wedding day really couldn't have gone any more smoothly!

    Perez Wedding 11/21/2020

    The Club at Garden Ridge exceeded our expectations for our wedding! I at first did not want an outdoor ceremony but when we saw the venue it just took our breath away! The scenery was just gorgeous and the ballroom was so spacious. We just fell in love instantly! We loved how affordable it was compared to other venues and we loved how we got to choose our own vendors! We also liked the fact we got to stack our own bar. Kristi really sold us on her personality and awesome attitude! She was so kind and answered all of our questions (and we had many) up until the day of the wedding! She has a Plan B for everything including if it rains! She even took precautions right away with COVID and kept us informed up until the wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and stress free leading up to the wedding which I adored! Highly recommend the Club at Garden Ridge....believe me you won't regret it. ❤

They provided guidance and advice throughout our whole wedding planning process. The day of was perfect! The venue is gorgeous! Kristi and the day of coordinator,Whitney, made sure along with our planner that our vision for our wedding reception was executed to perfection! Thank you for providing such excellent service. We are so happy that you were part of our vendor team!

    Gorgeous wedding venue

    The Club at Garden Ridge is an absolutely beautiful place to hold a wedding. My wife & I took our daughter out to look at venues, this was the first and the last place we looked! We met with Kristi who made us feel right at home, she gave us the tour of the grounds - which are beautiful, and then she listened to what we wanted and showed us how they could make everything work. Kristi was our main contact; however both her and Katie were on site from start to finish the day of the wedding to ensure a smooth day. What a great experience and a great venue, loved it!

    The Club at Garden Ridge went above and beyond

    As the title had said, Kristi and everyone at the Club at Garden Ridge went above and beyond to make our wedding date special. They're also very flexible with what the couple needed, and tried to give us everything we asked for.

    They made my Best Day Ever better than I could have imagined!

    Everyone at this venue is there to make your special day absolutely perfect! I was pretty nervous towards the end of my planning process, wondering if I had forgotten something, knowing I didn’t know all the details that went into a wedding BUT they put to rest all my fears during the final walkthrough. We went over every last detail to ensure nothing was missed and that made all the difference for me. I was able to really enjoy my day and I’m so thankful to the wonderful people at the Club at Garden Ridge for that!

    From Hello to I Do, they're there every step of the way.

    This is the most amazing venue! Kristi was so welcoming when I first toured and incredibly helpful in finding vendors that fit my needs. She had taken the time to really get to know my love story and my vision for the big day before I even got there. After we booked, she was still super helpful the entire time!

    Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true! It started in the spacious bridal suite (although I really wish we also had a tv - boys are not the only ones that want to watch football). We took our time since we had all day to be there, and I'm really grateful they're a one wedding per day venue for that reason.

    I also love how many unique places there are to get photos. We took family photos by the mantle place inside to avoid the heat, and had our first look on the reception area porch. Later, my husband and I took photos by the fountain, the gazebo, the bridge and the stream.

    Lastly, the team is SO organized. I met with Kristi two weeks before to do a final runthru. Everything was laid out exactly as we had planned, and our venue coordinator was super helpful all day. Kristi even ran back to get my garter when I realized I had forgetten them! It was an absolute dream and I couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else!

    Best Day Ever!!

    I spent a long time researching wedding venues to try and find the perfect place to fit the wedding I had dreamed of for so long, but the moment I stepped foot at The Club at Garden Ridge I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had to get married there! The beautiful outdoor ceremony site and the rustic/elegant reception hall was everything we could have wanted. Kristi was wonderful to work with and really made us feel like part of The Club family! She was always available to answer questions or assist with anything we needed and brought so much positivity to the planning process. The wedding day was an absolute dream. We had the entire clubhouse to ourselves for getting ready and eating lunch. We had mimosas in the gorgeous bridal suite, and there was a ton of room for my bridal party to get ready. My husband was able to set up his Nintendo Switch to the TV in the groom’s suite to relax and hangout with his groomsmen before the wedding. The ceremony was amazing! Walking down the aisle and seeing my family in the beautiful white chairs and my husband under the pavilion is an image I will never forget. The reception hall was perfect for our 175 guests. They even had the freedom to hangout outside under the tree lights. At the end of the night, Kristi was outside helping everyone get their sparklers for the sendoff. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and we know that is in large part due to The Club at Garden Ridge and to Kristi! We are so thankful that we found this incredible venue!

    Beautiful!

    We got married in June! We knew this was the venue for us the day we scheduled a tour with Kristi. Kristi is so helpful and professional. She is great at answering your questions and concerns in a timely manner. The bridal/groom's suites are spacious and very clean. This is a great location to take you bridal/ engagement photos. All our guests told us how beautiful the venue is. We are so happy we had our wedding here !

    You Mush Have Your Wedding Here! You Won’t Be Disappointed!!

    Working in the wedding business myself, I have worked closely with many wedding venues but none of them compare to The Club at Garden Ridge! Not only is it an incredibly beautiful venue with many beautiful spots to take engagement and bridal photos, Kristi and her staff are amazing, and THAT is why my husband and I just had to have our wedding there. Kristi was there to make sure all went well and made sure to answer ALL of my million questions for how the day of will go. We had several meetings to go over things and they made sure all our needs were met. And I can assure you that with both my husband and I working in the wedding business, we were very picky on how we wanted things to go and Kristi understood exactly what we wanted and made it happen. Although it rained on my wedding day, the staff were quick with a contingency plan to have the wedding inside. I’m so glad we went with The Club at Garden Ridge, I couldn’t imagine my wedding happening anywhere else. Thank you for the wonderful memories!!

    Dream Come True

    My wife and I searched for our dream venue and made trips to several locations before we came across Club at Garden Ridge online. We looked at all the pictures of the venue and were at a loss of words as to how perfect it looked for us. I reached out to Kristi, Venue Manager, to set up time to see the venue and she was so nice and adaptable to our schedule for us to go see. Upon our arrival, we immediately noticed a difference from other venue coordinators to Kristi. She took the time to get to know us and our story. By the end of our introduction, we felt the connection with her. We then walked around the venue and was at a loss of words as to how beautiful the venue is and how emotional we got just walking around. We loved everything we saw from the outdoor ceremony with the water fountain in the background, to the men’s cave, to the bridal suite, and to the ballroom. It was a very emotional moment as we decided during our visit to choose Club at Garden Ridge as our dream venue to get married at. Kristi and her team made us feel so welcome and they were so patient with us and helped whenever and wherever needed. All our guests told us how much they loved the venue and how beautiful it is. The experience we had at Club at Garden Ridge surpassed all our expectations and are forever grateful for Kristi and Club at Garden Ridge for being there for us through the entire process.

    Amazing experience

    My husband and I recently got married this past October at The Club at Garden Ridge and we had the most amazing, easy going experience ever. On our special day Katie and Kristi made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything, but getting ready and enjoying our special day. They were absolutely amazing to us. I highly recommend the club at garden ridge for any future bride and husband. Our ceremony was so beautiful we received so many compliments from our family about our venue and ceremony. Thank you thank you to the club at garden ridge for making this bride extremely happy! I’ll have my amazing memories forever❤️🤗

    When we started our search for a venue, we wanted a beautiful, elegant venue that was within our budget, and could fit around 200 people. The Club at Garden Ridge easily checked these boxes. The ceremony takes place outside, at a gazebo overlooking a gorgeous lake. This area was right next to the large reception hall, which itself is also very nice on the eyes. The hall easily fits 200 guests with plenty of room for a dance floor, as well as a caterer/bartender-friendly bar/kitchen, a bar, and a stage for your DJ. The pictures you might see in these reviews won’t do any justice – you NEED to come for a tour to look around! At the end of the wedding night, many guests asked our wedding party how we found such a beautiful venue.

    We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding! The outdoor area with the alter was stunning with the greenery and fountain in the background. Also, the reception hall was gorgeous!!! It looked brand new and had plenty of room for dancing :) My favorite part of the venue had to be the areas for getting ready. There was an adorable "bridal suite" and "grooms cave" which gave the bridal parties their own separate rooms for getting ready and hanging out throughout the day before the ceremony. The staff was friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process, making sure our suites were stocked with drinks all afternoon. The venue worked extremely well with all of our vendors, making the day smooth and stress free. I could not imagine getting married anywhere else!!! I highly recommend booking this venue!

    What a perfect place to have our wedding. We had a lot of out of town guests it was great to have our ceremony and reception in the same area. They helped with everything they had multiple vendors to choose from that were great recommendations. Thanks again for a wonderful day!!

    The Club at Garden Ridge was the perfect setting for capturing lifetime memories of a beautiful wedding for our daughter and son-in-law on September 16, 2017. When we first visited, we were immediately captivated with the venue. Yes, we did visit other venues, but no others compared to the amenities offered at the Club. Working with Kristi, the Club’s Weddings and Events Manager, from the onset was pleasurable; guidance provided, always responsive, a consummate professional. The Club’s day-of staff were on top of it, the venue was set-up as planned and was exactly as we had envisioned. It was absolutely stunning! Holly was attentive to details, met our needs and stayed with us to the end of the evening, helping us gather our belongings and depart on time. Thank you to a fabulous team!! The venue’s accommodations were inviting, relaxing and beautifully furnished; the Bridal Suite, Groom’s Man Cave and Family Lounge large and private, ideal for getting ready. The Gazebo on the lake, with the water fountain in the background, surrounded by lush landscaped grounds was the picture-perfect backdrop for a heavenly Wedding Ceremony officiated by Pastor Dale! The spacious ballroom was elegantly staged for an enchanting evening of celebration; highlighting delectable foods, drinks and a fun-filled dance floor. Our family and friends are still raving about it! We sincerely thank all of you that had a hand in making it happen!

    The setting couldn't be better! We shopped other venues. Some were quite a drive. We knew our guests would appreciate a venue that was conveniently located. The grounds are beautiful. The evening photos with the fountain in the background were breathtaking! The staff is wonderful too. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

    An awe inspiring venue, never had any problems with booking, and Kristi was very helpful throughout the day of the wedding. Highly recommend this venue if you're looking for an outside/inside wedding.
