Victoria Sent on 11/15/2024Gorgeous venue
Amy was not only so professional and helpful, her background in planning made it so much easier to plan and handle our wedding. She was always cheerful and positive. In addition the venue is so gorgeous that it made decorating less overwhelming. The guests loved so much they took pics for themselves to make as pfpThe Gardens of Cranesbury View's reply:

David Sent on 04/22/2021Best venue ever!!!
My wife and I were looking for a venue in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area that didn't have a rustic theme. We found a few places but ultimately visited with Amy at the Gardens and fell in love with her and her amazing venue. She's extremely passionate about her venue and hosting weddings and it really shows. The European styling set in the Texas hill country make this place romantic, intimate, and a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding. Amy gave us a list of her recommended vendors and she nailed it on every one. Almost all of our vendors were from her list and our wedding turned out AMAZING!!! We can't thank her enough for providing us the most amazing wedding experience we could imagine. My wife and I both agree our wedding here exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a place to have an amazing wedding go visit the Gardens... I guarantee you'll love it!! -

I loved the Gardens of Cranesbury View for my wedding! Amy has done such an awesome job creating the most beautiful space. She also is so kind and thoughtful. She loves what she does and it shows in her work. I felt instantly comfortable with her. She makes you feel like a friend and not just another person getting married at her venue.
Ps there are also chickens and it’s so fun! -

I honestly don’t know where to begin to talk about how absolutely fantastic it was to work with Amy and having my daughter’s wedding at this venue this past weekend. Forgive me if my thoughts seem all over the place... it was just that great of an experience!!! We were the first family to AirBnB the Bridal House and it was worth every penny. My daughter and I met Amy at Bridal Expo back in Jan of 2020 and made an immediate connection with her and once we toured the venue my daughter didn’t want to look anywhere else. The AirBnB house sleeps 20 and offered enough sleeping rooms for the entire bridal party and a few family members. All of the beds were queens or larger. Everything was clean and organized fully stocked linens and towels! Amy even left champagne, orange juice and eggs in the fridge for us. The convenience of being able to stay on-site for the weekend pays for itself. Our coordinator was able to do a lot of pre-decorating on Friday night, our bridal party didn’t have to have hotel rooms or rental cars. As a Mom my heart and mind was at ease because no one was driving home late after the reception was over. Amy’s attention to detail is impeccable. There was never a time that she wasn’t available to answer our questions or concerns during the last 12 months of planning. Even in the midst of COVID she reassured us along the way even having security on the ready taking temperatures before entry. And keeping with CDC guidance along the way. My husband was so happy with everything that he’s considering using the venue again for his upcoming Military retirement. It was very evident to us from jump that Amy loves God and loves people. Her passion for this industry shines through throughout the venue and the Bridal House. We didn’t have to leave the property at all until it was time to check out. If you’re looking for a venue that truly has everything... look no further. Amy has become like family to us now and we are so grateful to have made the connection with her. All of our family and friends were throughly impressed with The Gardens of Cranesbury View. The great experience of this past weekend will forever be solidified in our hearts. ♥️♥️♥️ -

Victoria Sent on 10/30/2020Our wedding on June 12, 2020
When we visited the Gardens of Cranesbury View for the first time, we instantly knew this was the venue for us! Everything about the gardens is absolutely beautiful. I love how the entire venue displays the beauty of God's creation. I also love the European style set in the Texas hill country. Even one of our guests from Italy said it was the most beautiful wedding venue he has ever seen! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect, even in the midst of a pandemic! We chose Amy as our wedding coordinator as well, and she did an amazing job creating the wedding of our dreams. Because of her we didn't have to worry about all the little details; she took care of everything so we wouldn't have to! I feel so blessed we had Amy's expertise, and I'm so thankful we chose the Gardens of Cranesbury View! -

John Sent on 03/10/2020A Texas Hill Country Garden Wedding To Remember!
The Gardens of Cranesbury View is an amazing venue and it was the perfect setting for our wedding and reception. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our outdoor ceremony was, how wonderful the suggested vendors were, and how much fun they had in the gardens. This is all thanks to Amy and her team!
The venue has recently finished large renovations since we booked our date and all changes were for the best! Groomsmen now have the entirety of the lower floor in the main house, while the bride and bridesmaids have their run of the top level (including the balcony). The ceremony site has also been given some TLC, with a walkway and surrounding greenery. Additionally, Amy offers many decorations for rent, a concise and helpful list of vendors, tips and tricks to best use her venue, and complimentary roaming chickens. :D
Amy truly cares about her venue and desires to improve upon it with each and every booking. She lives and breathes weddings, so be ready to match your excitement to hers! You’ll be glad to have Amy on your side and to have this amazing piece of Texas hill country in your memories.
Thank you for everything!

Laura Sent on 12/22/2019Perfect Venue for the Best Day Ever!
My husband Campbell and I got married at this venue in mid-December , and it is absolutely stunning! It was so beautiful that some of our guests took their Christmas card photos here while waiting for the ceremony to start LOL. Amy (the owner) made us feel seen and known as a couple, and worked hard to create such a special day. Instead of feeling like just another number cycled through the venue, we felt truly loved and celebrated. She is personable and genuine, two character traits that can be rare to find in the wedding industry.
Not only did we have the pleasure of having our wedding at her venue, but we also booked Amy as our wedding coordinator and florist. Since horticulture is Amy’s specialty, the flowers were AMAZING and are still alive in my kitchen long after the wedding. As a coordinator, Amy made sure the day ran smoothly and was thoughtful enough to schedule in time for my husband and I to celebrate alone in the bridal suite. During the reception, she also gave us plenty of time to eat (which hardly ever happens at a wedding). She was a fierce protector of our time and made sure we weren’t bothered at all by communicating with the other vendors on our behalf. Campbell and I are so grateful for Amy, and couldn’t have imagined the day without her!The Gardens of Cranesbury View's reply:
Laura & Campbell,
Thank you for this amazing and joy to my heart review! It truly was on honor! You both are incredible and special people, by being out there giving everything to have to help and benefit others. You are such an inspiration and treasure to all that come in contact with you. Thank you for blessing me with your beautifully, Christ-Centered wedding day I can not say enough of what a pleasure it was!! -

User4680609 Sent on 08/28/2019Amy is amazing
We didn't even look anywhere else. We were blown away with this venue and also blown away with the owner, Amy. You could see how passionate she was about her venue and also passionate about making our day special. This is a special place tucked in New Braunfels, and different than the traditional wedding venues in San Antonio and surrounding areas.The Gardens of Cranesbury View's reply:
Ashley thank you so much for the beautiful review, I appreciate it so tremendously! What makes my what I do so wonderful is getting to know and serving amazing brides and grooms! I feel so blessed and honored to have your wedding at The Gardens of Cranesbury View! -

Amy and hunter did fabulous the day of the wedding. Everything was set up and they had everything in order. Things ran smoothly and they do everything they can to prevent stress on the bride and groom. As for the venue itself it is breath taking. It is a beautiful European inspired garden that wows. I would recommend this venue for your big day!The Gardens of Cranesbury View's reply:

Theresa Sent on 09/22/2015One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was this venue! Amy is the owner and coordinator of this place, and she runs it so smoothly. You can tell she really has a passion for what she does. The venue is well kept and beautiful. So many of our guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was and so many people were asking how we found it. This place is gorgeous and your pictures will be amazing!
One thing I really liked was that you rent each little thing, rather than having it as a huge package because there were a lot of things we ended up not needing so it was nice not to pay for it (for example, Amy lets you rent her china and silverware, but some caterers also rent it to you. Hers is a really fair price, and we were planning on using it, but our caterer ended up having it in the package. So it was nice not to have to pay for renting it had it been built in). There is very little you need to do as far as decor because the grounds are so pretty, but if you wanted to do flowers, Amy has that option as well. Amy and her staff were wonderful to us and took care of so many things. You literally don't have to set up anything. They do it all for you.
I would have never paid for a day of coordinator, but Amy's coordinating services came with the package, and now I have no idea how people do it without one! Now I recommend getting a day of coordinator to everyone because Amy was so amazing. She made sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. She kept up with all of our vendors for us, suggested vendors when we didn't know where to start, and made sure that if there were issues, we didn't have to deal with it the day of. There were definitely some hiccups on our day (not because of the venue), but I didn't deal with any of it because Amy had it all taken care of.
I could go on, but there is a character limit. Seriously though, you will not regret booking this place! -

Lacey Sent on 05/06/2014I am so happy that my husband and I chose to get married at The Gardens of Cranesbury View. It was my dream location! It's a little piece of Europe placed in the beautiful Texas hill country. The grounds are stunning and provide the perfect romantic backdrop for a wedding.
Amy Collins is at the top of her game as a venue owner and coordinator. She leaves no stone unturned and thinks of all little things that you would have never thought of doing yourself. She makes it possible for you and your party to enjoy the day without having to think of the details or worrying about cleaning up afterwards. Yes it is expensive, but all wedding are and with The Gardens of Cranesbury View you get your money's worth ten times over. Because of that, I was able to add so many other little personal touches to our day. Amy and her assistant Jessica tirelessly go above and beyond to make their couples (mainly the bride) happy. I am a detailed perfectionist that worries about everything, but Amy alleviated all my fears and made my wedding the best day of my life.
Amy is also a skilled floral designer and works one on one with you (if you use her for your flowers which I highly recommend) to create the feel and look of your wedding. Just trust her and let her work her magic. The flowers were one of the highlights of my wedding. The elegant arrangements made everything look so perfect and beautiful.
You will be so happy if you chose to Gardens of Cranesbury View for your wedding. Amy and her staff become part of your family and it is a little bittersweet not to speak with them everyday once the wedding is over.
Thank you Amy and the rest of the Gardens of Cranesbury View for making our fairytale wedding come true. -

Melody Sent on 05/18/2012Finding the Gardens of Cranesbury View was the first and best decision that I made for my wedding (besides my fiance' of course!) and it truly set the tone for the rest of my planning process. My fiance' and I had already visited 5 other venues and we were beginning to feel frustrated with our options- until we found the Gardens of Cranesbury View! By far, the best deal with all of the rental items that are included with the most beautiful grounds and unique flair and free wedding coordinator! It only took one visit out to the beautiful property and one conversation with the owner, Amy to know that I had found the place where I wanted to get married! Amy was such a blessing to us and because of her- my wedding day was flawless and stress-free. There isn't one tiny detail that Amy does not think about and have a Plan B and C for- she is a bride's dream-come-true! We got a ton of compliments on the beautiful gardens and the beautiful set up of the reception hall and it truly had a European feel to it. You won't find anything else in the area close to this! -

Elizabeth Sent on 11/23/2011Everything about this venue is the best that a bride and groom could get! I loved everything about Amy and the detail that she gives the bride and groom from the first time that we met. She and her venue provided everything I and my husband could want for our wedding day! Thank you again Amy!
Love,
Joshua and Elizabeth -
Sarah Sent on 10/12/2018Where to begin. Mrs Amy is such an amazing coordinator. You feel like you are apart of her family with the hospitality she provides. I felt like we were in great hands the entire process. I love plans and timelines and to have her on the same page, was fantastic. She is always upbeat and happy but very professional. Her gardens are spectacular and the rose bushes were in bloom on our wedding day. If you’re lucky, you might even get to see a chicken!:) I have only great things to say about the Gardens of Cranesbury View!! It was the wedding of my dreams.

Joclyn Sent on 06/23/2018When I had my first tour with Amy, I felt extremely comfortable and stress free! I knew she would listen to our wants and desires, and jump through hoops to make it happen, thats just who she is. There is no coordinator out there like Amy. Also the venue is STUNNING. It's on the top of a hill, so when you're near the gazebo there is a gorgeous view of the hill country with a nice breeze. One of the most beautiful venues I've ever been to.
