We just had our wedding at Dove Nest Estate, and it was better than we could have dreamed of. We explored many different venues, and nobody was as accommodating as The Dove Nest Estate. They provided ample time and access to the venue in the months leading up to the wedding. This included rehearsal and set up the day prior, and morning of the wedding. We did not use a wedding coordinator, so the access and assistance Stephanie and Rene provided really made everything run smoothly. Aside from the venue being gorgeous inside and out, the lack of unnecessary rules enabled us to have everything just the way we wanted. Our dog is a big part of our lives, and we wanted him to enjoy the wedding just like everyone else. Almost every venue we spoke to would require him to be in a crate, which was unacceptable for us. This was not an issue at Dove Nest, and he was able to wander around celebrating our big day just like everyone else. Stephanie and Rene were incredibly helpful before, during and after our wedding. They remained on site for the duration and were eager to assist with anything that came up such as lighting, music, seating etc. There are multiple ceremony sites to choose from, all boasting unique backdrops. The area for the groom and groomsmen is a unique tavern with a space to grill out and ample room to get dressed. The bridal suite was equipped with plenty of mirrors and space from the girls to get ready as well. We especially loved the elegant floor to ceiling windows which created the perfect lighting for photos. The Dove Nest also included tables, chairs, and furniture for lounging, whereas they must be rented at many other venues. Everyone loved that there were multiple spots outside to relax and enjoy the Texas spring weather. We highly recommend the Dove Nest Estate for your special day.

Was a very pretty venue, but the rules were always changing with management, and it was very dirty.

Beautiful venue with amazing staff & owners! Their beautiful hall is a blank canvas that can fit any event style. Perfect for weddings, any celebrations or corporate events! We love the ATV track on-site that makes it so unique from all the other venues in the area. They also have cabins in the property, perfect for a whole weekend of partying. They took very great care of us during our event. If you are looking for a venue for your event, this is the place to be!

Dove Nest Estate has everything you could want in a wedding venue! Their main building has extra large windows bringing in a ton of daylight. There's a saloon off to the side with it's own unique charm. There are cabins on site and outdoor activities too!

Nhi and Toan (Owner) We are the owners of Dove Nest Estate. We are both embarking on this journey to own and run an event center/wedding venue as our second careers.

We have overnight accommodations in our 5 newly constructed cabins. We also added a unique feature: an off-road RallyCross track (our sister business Dove Nest Motorsports Club \"DOMO\") on our property. We invite you to visit this flexible event space and we would love to host your special day!
