Our entire venue establishment was hand built by my husband and myself. Imagine exchanging vows in our enchanting black chapel, where love's promises are framed against a backdrop of timeless elegance. Our white barn reception hall awaits, radiating a sense of modern minimalism while providing the perfect canvas for your unique vision.

Situated on 32 lush acres, Elmwood Gardens by Provence is a unique venue offering discerning couples vintage elegance and one-of-a-kind Texas weddings. Our meticulously restored venue has great character, award-winning cuisine, a gorgeous outdoor Chapel, two tranquil ponds and three unforgettable ceremony sites filled with roses, Sweet William, spirals of foxglove, wisteria, and floral scents that fill the air and kiss the pathways as if to greet your guests the moment they arrive.
