Fairytale wedding
My husband and I had our wedding at The Preserve. We are from WI and I knew I wanted a destination wedding inside of the U.S. I toured about 7 venues in Texas, and The Preserve was the first of many tours. After seeing it, I COULD NOT forget it. It was the most beautiful venue, requiring minimal decor as it already had character. The wedding guests continually compliment our wedding and how beautiful the venue was, saying, “I don’t think I will ever go to another wedding as beautiful as this one”. I can’t thank them enough for their beautiful venue, communication and advice! -

The Preserve at Canyon Lake was the perfect wedding venue for our daughter's wedding. From an event planning standpoint, the Preserve is perfection with beautiful grounds for an outdoor wedding but also a stunning chapel for those of us who don't want to have to think about tents and "plan B" in our unpredictable Texas climate. My daughter knew she wanted 1) an indoor ceremony and reception, 2) anything that was NOT a barn or farmhouse theme because everyone was doing that 3) light and bright no matter what the weather was (cloudy and rainy included), and 4) she wanted princess vibes... this girl was PICKY. haha. The Preserve matched all her dreams and more. I was able to take her bridal portraits myself and of course, we hired someone to photograph the wedding so I could be "mom" that day. The day of the bridal session was cold, windy, cloudy and rainy but the photographs are pure magic because of the huge windows and available natural light and beautiful setting. The wedding was spectacular and we wouldn't change a single thing. If you're thinking about venues, stop and choose this one. The Preserve meets every need. As a professional portrait artist, light was very important to me and this venue checks all my boxes professionally as well as personally. We are still obsessed with our daughter's beautiful wedding on December 28, 2023 at The Preserve at Canyon Lake. -

Most Incredible Venue
We are so happy to have chosen the Preserve for our wedding venue. Devin, Jordan and the entire Preserve team were incredible to work with, and were very communicative and attentive during the planning process and on wedding day! The Preserve is the most stunning venue, and our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful it was. Being able to have both the ceremony and reception indoors in Texas is crucial, especially for a summer wedding, and the Preserve offered the most perfect space for that. The bridal suite is incredible, the chapel is breathtaking, and the grounds make for the perfect background for photos. Overall, choosing the Preserve as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made, and we truly had the most incredible wedding experience here. Thank you Devin and Jordan for being the best and for having the best venue around! -

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to host a wedding. Our engaged couple wanted a Hill Country wedding, and finding The Preserve sealed the deal. The venue is absolutely beautiful and both the chapel and the reception area make for a fabulous backdrop for a special day. The grounds outside are stunning and peaceful, and the back patio setting makes for a lovely cocktail hour and provides wonderful spots for outdoor photos. The owners are very responsive and a joy to work with. On the wedding day, there were a few minor set up issues that were not The Preserve’s responsibility. I was completely frazzled, but Jordan was right there to help. He was very calm and quickly came up with easy fixes that were so appreciated. Our guests continually compliment the wedding and the venue using such words as dreamy, stunning and spectacular. Most importantly, The Preserve provided the bride and groom with their dream wedding venue and they had the time of their lives! -

We absolutely loved this venue. Jordan & Devin were extremely responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and the venue was as beautiful on our wedding day as it was when we toured it. They also had some helpful items like steamers in the bridal suite and bins for our sparklers. Our guests had the best time and it was the wedding of our dreams, we would absolutely recommend The Preserve to anyone looking for a beautiful venue in the Texas hill country. -

If you are looking for the perfect venue, this is the one! It was perfect for our big day and we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. After touring several venues, this one sold me on its elegance and simplicity. The owners were very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Having the flexibility of choosing our own vendors was very convenient and ensured we had exactly what we wanted. Every guest at our wedding complimented the venue and how perfect it was. Highly recommend getting married here!! -

You are not going to find a negative review of The Preserve anywhere. Why? Because what is provided to you as a customer is quite frankly unavailable elsewhere. The property itself including the grounds and the building is overwhelmingly and stunningly beautiful and exceptionally maintained. While this is not an inexpensive venture, you pay for quality and The Preserve delivers. One of our most important requests was that no guest would waste time during the cocktail hour and the seated dinner reception. We did not want guests standing in line for alcohol at a bar while they should be eating either appetizers or dinner, and more importantly conversing with other guests. Therefore, we requested the hiring of 10 bar tenders / servers to circulate bringing prepared cocktails to our guests during the cocktail hour as well as the dinner reception. Following dinner, guests could then request drinks directly from three bar tenders positioned at the bar with the other seven departing after three hours of service. So, what else was provided? Upstairs Front Outdoor Balcony - We positioned a large music box to play wedding church bells to simulate arrival to a church / chapel as guests arrive. We started this one hour prior to the wedding and it definitely enhanced the overall mood. All guests believed that actual church bells were ringing. Chapel Setup – Upstairs music balcony for the four-string quartet. Handheld microphone for the Best Man and The Maid of Honor for their readings. Champagne service for bride and groom parties throughout the early morning preparations. Cocktail Hour / Dinner - All servers were in black pants, black long sleeve shirt and black bow tie. Head Table - Preordered drinks awaiting the wedding party on the table. Main Tables - Table side service to include filled champagne poured on the tables at each place setting as guests take their seats. Then taking guests drink orders from the reception booklet placed at each seat. The quality of the eight specific mixed drinks that we requested was outstanding. Reception Ballroom Layout - We hired the live band “Blind Date of Austin” to play for our wedding. This required a formal 2-foot-high stage and light accommodation. As the band could not possibly fit within the buffet nook and we did not want to change the ballroom layout we decided to place the stage front and center forward of the ballroom door entrance directly opposite the sweetheart table. As this had not been done before, we cannot overemphasize the owner’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate this. It turned out to be a perfect dance floor setup primarily as the ballroom remained symmetrical to all 180 guests and support personnel. Guests had easy central access to their tables, the bar and the dance floor. Cigar Bar - Setup outside cocktail tables and fire to accommodate an outdoor cigar smoking area. So, what exactly is it that made all this happen? The owners, Jordan and Devin Cosart, are passionately dedicated in service to ensuring high personal satisfaction on the day of their customer’s wedding. They remained in constant communication with us continuously confirming understanding of our evolving requirements while also providing key insight and advice on the pros and cons of various considerations. Of course, everything they did for us far exceeded our expectations. They delivered the utmost in professional service and their venue provided the perfect atmosphere and ambiance we expected. Ultimately, however, it isn’t how happy the guests are, or even if all the minute details are fulfilled that determines the success of an event. It is the happiness of the bride and groom that matters most. On this day, both of them stated that this was, without a doubt, the single happiest day of their lives. If you are thinking twice about considering The Preserve, don’t. Go ahead and book it and don’t look back. You will be happy you did!

I can't say enough about this gorgeous venue and the husband and wife team who created it. Our daughter and her husband had the wedding of their dreams! The proprietors, Devin and Jordan, are amazing. They worked with us, listened to our wants/needs, and stayed in constant communication. They make the bride and groom a priority on their special day; everything from having their own well-appointed (super spacious) suites to serving beverages to checking on them and the entire bridal party throughout the day. Devin and Jordan's kindness, willingness to accommodate us, and their attention to detail is impeccable. As for the venue, The Preserve is nothing short of visually stunning. It is super spacious and very well laid out. The architecture is timeless and classic and is perfectly arranged so that there is a seamless transition from the chapel to the reception area. There was plenty of "designated space" for live music, a DJ, a photo booth, and a dance floor. There is a large built-in bar/beverage & kitchen area and plenty of room throughout for other misc. tables/sections for things such as the cake, wedding favors, memorial table, gifts/cards, etc. Devin and Jordan were a joy to work with and if you want a beautiful venue and a team that puts clients first, then I highly recommend The Preserve at Canyon Lake. You will not be disappointed!

I found the Preserve at Canyon Lake from a post on Instagram. We inquired and within a few days Jordan showed us the area when it was just foundation and frame and we couldn’t stop thinking about it! The area is breathtaking! When it came time to decide, we decided to keep our wedding in Texas due my grandfathers dementia worsening, as well as the never ending pandemic, and we immediately knew it had to be at the Preserve! Not only is this venue perfect, but Devin and Jordan were AMAZING every step of the way! You are free to use your own vendors, and one of the best parts is, the venue is pretty much yours from early morning to late night.
Did I mention Devin and Jordan are the best! They were very hands on and responsive through out the whole process, and were present during the day to make sure things ran smoothly. Devin even calmed down my goddaughter who was freaking out about her hair being done, and she calmed my nerves right before I walked down the aisle. They are seriously two of the sweetest people I have ever met.
It’s only been 11 days, but I am still in the clouds about my wedding, and my friends and family can not stop talking about it! I couldn’t be more thankful!
Hands down, BEST DECISION EVER to have our wedding at the Preserve at Canyon Lake! -

The MOST beautiful wedding venue. My husband and I got married here on November 22 just a few weeks ago and it was a perfect day!! Devin and Jordan were so helpful and patient every single step of the way as well. They are so kind and went above and beyond in their service to us to make sure our day went smoothly! The views are absolutely gorgeous and the inside spaces are simple yet so elegant and classy. I loved all the windows that let in the natural light. Don't make your decision on your venue until you've seen this one! -

We booked The Preserve before it was built and we were not disappointed to say the least. My husband and I got married there in August of 2021 and I got to see the finished venue the day of my wedding and it was a dream come true. It was everything a bride could want and more. The chapel is very large and the ballroom is elegant. The layout of the venue is perfect. Devin and Jordan are fantastic and very personable, kind people. There was a wedding the night before ours and the place was spotless the day of. The outdoor bar was adorable and everyone loved the 30 foot staircase leading up to the bridal suite! I highly recommend this venue for your special day! -

The perfect venue for the perfect day!
We booked this venue for my daughter's wedding before any construction had begun. Jordan and Devin shared their vision and renderings with us while we toured the site. My daughter and son-in-law fell in love with the site and we reserved their date. Watching their vision come to life in the months that followed was amazing. You will not find a more beautiful venue. The grounds are perfect and the building is stunning and perfect in every way. It was perfect for our wedding of approximately 300. Devin and Jordan were available from the moment we booked the date, for all our questions and the the day of the wedding they were available all day as they live onsite. We also were able to have our daughter's bridal portraits taken at the venue and take advantage of the beauty there. Thank you Devin and Jordan for having this dream and building the perfect place for our daughter's wedding. We are so grateful for your kindness and hard work in making our day magical. -

I took my bridal pictures at this venue on May 20th. My experience with the owners could not have been more pleasant. They were welcoming, showed us around upon arrival, continued asking what they could do to make me most comfortable, and made me feel even more excited than I already was for my pictures and upcoming wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning- the pictures truly do not even do it justice. You can tell they have really thought through every detail. My experience couldn’t have been better, and I would recommend this venue to any friends I know for bridal pictures or their wedding venue!
