Delightful venue in harmony with nature
I had my wedding here in Oct 2022 (around 90 guests). The location is absolutely gorgeous. The decor combines modern, new-age, and rustic elements in harmony with the serene woodsy setting. The venue owners worked closely with our caterer, tent company, bus driver, and DJ before and during the event so that we didn't have to worry about any logistics. Most importantly our guests are still talking about how much they loved it! Our guests could take nature walks, hang out in the outdoor kitchen/picnic tables, dance in and next to the event center, and roast s'mores at the fire pit in the evening. Staying in the cabin was magical with a 360 view of the sunrise in the morning.
Wonderful Wedding Experience at the HCNR
Hosting my daughter’s wedding at the Hill Country Nature Retreat was a perfect venue for our family and friends! Eugene and Marlena made themselves available to answer all our questions and willing to address any concerns we had as we planned for the wedding. From the time they welcomed us onto the property to the time we pulled out, they made sure we had everything we needed from unloading, decorating, food delivery, cleanup to departure. Throughout the week we were there, every building was so clean and nicely arranged with obvious love & care, yet they designed HCNR to build experiences outdoors in Texas nature. The views from every spot of the venue are so spectacular! One of my favorite views was atop the treehouse, especially on a clear night - oh the stars!!! Our family loved the HCNR so much we went back for a family reunion the following year. Eugene & Marlena - thank you so very much for helping us make a memorable wedding experience for our daughter, family and friends! You have created a unique, beautiful, and awesome Texas wedding venue! I wish you continued success! Blessings- Rebecca
best wedding decision we made
Hey! Local wedding planner here - so I do not take vendor decisions lightly, especially for my own wedding. Once we found Hill Country Nature Retreat - we knew we had found the perfect space for our wedding celebration. I knew I wanted something quirky, outdoorsy, and with on-site lodging. Marlena and Eugene checked all those boxes and more. They were communicative, helpful, kind, and welcoming. They answered all my questions and ensured we had everything we needed to host my dream wedding. The unique, handpicked details did not go unnoticed. The ceremony site is gorgeous, and there were may options of how to host the rest of the party. Anyone looking for a quirky and affordable venue option - this is the place. Absolute best planning decision that we made.
The Absolute Best Place To Get Married!
When Hill Country Nature Retreat started hosting weddings right around the time we got engaged, we knew it would be the perfect place to get married...and we were right! The venue is STUNNING, with so many outdoor and indoor options for different portions of your event. We got married in May amidst beautiful wildflowers, but any month of Spring or Fall would be amazing there! Marlena and Eugene are the kindest, most communicative and helpful people. As the builders and owners of this amazing venue, they knew exactly what was needed to make the process of bringing in our vendors and rentals to the space completely seamless. They went above and beyond to meet all of our needs throughout our wedding planning process, and were super helpful point people during the event! If you are looking for a picturesque backdrop surrounded by the beautiful nature of Hill Country and a flexible and pleasant booking and planning experience, then this is the venue for you!
