My wife and I had our wedding at The Gardens in late April 2023 and had a fantastic experience both staying in the Chateaus on the grounds, enjoying the beautiful grounds and amenities, and the main event space. Amy is communicative, very knowledgeable and kind, and even welcomed us and some of our guests the day we arrived on-site! The venue is absolutely gorgeous with a nice variety of spaces for people to explore and enjoy. To speak to Amy's responsiveness, we had a crazy heavy rain and thunderstorm the evening before our wedding which led to one of the windows in a chateau leaking--most of our guests were Texans well familiar with pouring rain, so we set some towels down, let Amy know, and kept celebrating! Amy and her staff were there first thing in the morning refinishing the window. We loved staying in the chateaus and are so grateful that we could enjoy this stunning, well-considered space with such a warm host. Thank you so much! Reviewed on 20-06-2023

The place is absolutely amazing, the pictures just don’t do it justice. In person being there does not feel like we are still in Texas. Amy was incredibly amazing during the process. She allowed us to do our engagement photos and allowed me to do my bridal portraits. My whole wedding day felt like I was in a fairytale. We have gotten so many compliments about our wedding and how lovely the venue was.We also stayed on property in the big house and the chateaus. Which I highly recommend because being with family and friends that weekend made it such a great weekend being altogether. We did have a slight problem with the fridge but Amy was so quick to fix it and the fridge was completely working by the morning. Amy was always there if we needed something and quick to fix it.

Jalaiyah Bolden(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-01-2021 I had my wedding on January 9, 2021 & let me say Mrs. Amy Templeton is the absolute best to work with! With her experience & expertise in elegance (& excellence), she brought SO much peace to my mom & I throughout the entire planning process. I had to plan my wedding from 1,000 miles away, but that didn’t stop Mrs. Amy from always communicating with me! We were able to visit the venue whenever we needed to be sure we had all the details put together. But the venue...the Garden is so beautiful you need little to no decorations whatsoever. Every guest loved it just as much as we did. Go see it for yourself & you’ll understand!My family/wedding party was also the first to stay in the AirBnb & it was perfect. Mrs. Amy is so detail-oriented, so we weren’t missing anything! The convenience of staying on property was unmatched to any other venue...I can’t imagine having my wedding any other way! We had everything we needed or forgot we needed 10 steps away from us versus having to drive 45 minutes across town. And to add, the beauty of having the AirBnb all weekend (& a late Sunday checkout) with my family & friends gave us so much time to bond & love each other after being apart for so long. We got to set up a day early, & were not rushed out the door to tear everything down afterwards. If you can make the AirBnb happen, do it!Even during a pandemic, my wedding was a huge success & dream come true!!! Thank you, Mrs. Amy, for everything you do to make the Gardens so uniquely beautiful & for helping every bride feel so special. You will always hold a special place in our hearts & memories. 6 out of 5 stars, I HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Amy & the Gardens for your wedding & other special occasions (we will be back for my dad’s retirement)!

Monica Chisolm(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-01-2021 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 thoroughly impressed with The Gardens of Cranesbury View. The great experience of this past weekend will forever be solidified in our hearts. ♥️♥️♥️ Reviewed on 13-01-2021

Anastacia Sigel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2020 Absolutely stunning setting for our wedding, could not have been happier! When we first visited TGCV we were immediately taken with the grounds and how lovely and well maintained the gardens were. We were determined to stick to our budget and Amy helped us select a wedding date and day that would meet our pricing, and gave us a list of vendors to use--all of whom were professional and reasonably priced. After a lot of searching and price checking, we booked Amy for her coordinating services as well which was really the key to how exceptional our day was. We were able to drop items/decorations off early to alleviate same day stresses, she asked for our vision on the things we were specific about and used her years of experience to fill in the rest and perfectly captured the feeling we wanted for our day. We had a large wedding party but she was still able to move quickly and professionally through the rehearsal with our rowdy crew. The wedding day went like literal clockwork and it was breathtaking to see the stunning grounds set up in the way my fiance and I had imagined. Every detail was tended to which made our day completely carefree and Amy kept things running smoothly. Our guests absolutely loved being able to tour the gardens throughout the evening.

I found several that I wanted to see, with The Gardens of Cranesbury at the top of my list. When I got home my 2 maid of honors and I went through each flyer. At the top of Amy's flyer I wrote \"She has her stuff in order!\" (with several stars and smiley faces) Amy was so calm at the Extravaganza; when other vendors are barking at you to come look at their booth; she was calming and pleasant. Amy's venue was the first venue my fiancé and I looked at. Amy gave me a tour of the facility and it was breathtaking. It was everything I had hoped for. She took me down the path that I would be walking with my father and I couldn't hold back the tears. It just felt right! We looked at 3 other venues, but none of them gave me the same feeling as I did at The Gardens of Cranesbury View. To top it all off, I used Amy as my venue, florist and coordinator. She made planning a wedding easy!! With the coordinator package she told me exactly what I needed to be doing and when, what outside vendors she recommended and took all the stress off of me. The flowers were gorgeous!! From the bouquets to the flower arrangements on the table and the gazebo, it was stunning and the pictures turned out beautiful. Many guests told me that I looked like a page right out of Alice in Wonderland. Amy and her staff comes highly recommended!!! Reviewed on 02-10-2017
Claire cook(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2017 Amy, it was great knowing you were in our corner. Living so far away from the event was definitely not an advantage for me. You gave me the confidence to know that everything would be taken care of and thank you for that. Everything was absolutely beautiful. Even the weather cooperated. :-) I know my baby girl was well pleased. I can't wait for the pictures to be ready so I can another look. So much of the night was a blur for me. I asked Laura a couple days ago, \"Who bustled you?\" And she said, \"Mama, Amy took care of that too.\" Thanks again Reviewed on 26-09-2017
Sandy Gawlik(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-11-2018 When my son and his bride chose The Gardens of Cranesbury View for a late August wedding, the thing we worried most about was the 110 degree heat we might experience. Never in a million years did we expect to deal with Hurricane Harvey! From the beginning, Amy and her team made planning the wedding effortless. Both the bride and groom lived out of the area, so a lot of the planning was done long distance and finalized just a few days before the wedding. Amy's 20+ years of experience were invaluable! And when several other venues were forced to cancel their weddings August 26th because of the weather, Amy very calmly and very confidently assured us that everything would be perfect, and it was! Even when we decided early in the day to move the wedding up a hour to better accommodate our guests, she coordinated with all the vendors and provided seamless service! Having an indoor wedding at the venue wasn't their first choice, but everything was set up beautifully. When the ceremony was over, the ballroom instantly transformed from ceremony seating to the tables for the reception and party. Despite the fact that Harvey was blowing and going outside, you never knew it inside! Our families can't thank Amy enough for everything she and her team did that day. It was beautiful! And it was certainly memorable! And we were all blessed in the process! Reviewed on 24-09-2017
Emily M(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-12-2017 There were a lot of venues I liked, but I instantly fell in love with the Gardens of Cranesbury View when i saw the gazebo and the beautiful landscaping. There is a nice bridal suite in the house, but unfortunately not a great spot for the guys to lounge. Amy made the wedding planning process a breeze. All we had to do was pick the vendors and express what we wanted and Amy took care of everything! I think the biggest selling point was that we didn't have to set up a thing! There was no wedding on Friday so we were able to drop off all our decorations early and it was all set up for us how we had discussed. Then when it was all over Amy and her crew picked everything up and packed it in our cars. Amy is great at what she does, knows what works well and what doesn't work so well, and keeps things moving on a schedule. We are very happy with our experience. Reviewed on 13-09-2017
Lauren Palmer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2017 We had our wedding here in June, and it was an absolute dream! Amy is incredibly detail oriented and client focused. One of the biggest factors why we chose this venue was because Amy was so on top of everything, and makes you feel like family from the first time you speak with her. Leading up to the wedding she was always there to lend advice, help me put together last minute details, and was just a calming friend to talk to. I can't say enough good things about my experience with her. Even after the wedding, Amy takes such good care of you and makes sure your first steps into married life are absolutely perfect. The venue is so beautiful and we have such amazing pictures! Thank you for everything Amy❤️💗❤️💗❤️ I can't recommend getting married here enough! Reviewed on 10-08-2017
Melissa Rudolph(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-04-2017 This venue was exactly what I was searching for when I envisioned having an outdoor ceremony. The elegant landscaping, gardens and that beautiful gazebo is simply breathtaking. The reception hall is phenomenal and the space allotted for the bride and her party to use prior to the ceremony is outstanding!!! Amy ( the planner/coordinator) is so warm, kind, professional and amazing. She made the entire planning process much easier than it would have been if we tackled it alone and the day of our wedding was absolutely stress-free for me. All I had to do was show up, get my hair and make up done, relax and have fun,cocktails and light snacks with my mother and bridal party before getting dressed. Everything started on time, the ceremony and reception went over flawlessly. All our guests still rave about our wedding and say it was the best wedding they ever attended. The venue was perfect, everything was beautiful and wonderfully coordinated and they really loved Amy our planner. Thank you so much Amy for such a memorable experience, I will certainly cherish our special day for the rest of my life. To anyone searching for a unique and extravagant venue packaged with a great planner, do yourself a favor and check out the Gardens of Cranesbury View. -Happily Married Melissa R.

Matt Ilgenfritz(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-02-2018 My wife found The Gardens in a magazine and loved it from the start, and only fell more in love after seeing the venue in person and meeting with Amy the first time. We knew then and there that this was our venue and could not have made a better choice as far as I'm concerned. Amy stayed on top of everything from day one all the way through the day of the wedding. She made it clear what we had to do on our end and there was never any confusion (on a side note, not one of the other venues that we looked into would have provided someone to help us throughout the process on the level that Amy does, which was another amazing perk). She communicates wonderfully and made us incredibly proud to say that she made sure our wedding went on perfectly, and I couldn't have asked for a better day, I only wish it could have gone on longer! She deserves every bit of praise that she gets! Reviewed on 30-12-2016

Doesn't coordinate anything for the church or ceremony if you don't marry on the grounds or if you don't get flowers through her.

When we booked our special day at the Gardens, we received so much more than a gorgeous hilltop; we received an expert wedding planning staff and a great friend. Amy has worked with many local vendors and was a huge help sifting through our visions for our ceremony/reception and sharing what she'd personally seen vendors offer. On top of that, she gave us a detailed planning schedule to work from--which was such a blessing to keep me sane as I worked and finished school! But above all, Amy was a friend to us. She was joyful and fully present in all our phone calls and planning meetings, and she prayed with us and gave us confidence and love during this busy process, reminding us how special this time was. Numerous guests told us that we had the most beautiful wedding venue, but we'll always remember that the true gem of the Gardens is the staff. Reviewed on 18-10-2016
Nicole Canestrini(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2016 My wedding at the Gardens of Cranesbury View was an absolute dream. The venue grounds are gorgeously maintained. The landscaping is something from a fairytale. My guests asked me all night how I had found such an amazing venue. Amy Collins and her staff exceeded my expectations. Amy helped me plan the wedding from the day I signed the contract. She was amazing at keeping me on track with planning and details. Her preferred vendor list is incredible. My advice is to stick with the vendors on her list because they provide the same level of service as Amy and her staff. I can honestly say during my wedding I kept thinking, \"Wow, this is going so perfect!!\" I know the only reason the day turned out that way was because of Amy. She kept the night flowing and made sure we were able to do all the things we wanted. I really enjoyed getting to know Amy during my wedding planning process.

Amy took care of everything, from providing great vendor recommendations, to timelines, to decorating suggestions, she knows her business inside and out!

Kristen P(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-10-2015 There is no such thing as too much praise for Amy and the Gardens of Cranesbury View! Since Sean and I both live in Houston but wanted to have the Wedding from his hometown in New Braunfels we had to do most of the venue research from reviews online. When I saw the pictures of the Gardens on the Knot I was very impressed with how beautiful it was and the rave reviews made me feel that the Gardens was definitely a top contender. When I called Amy to schedule an appointment I couldn’t believe how friendly she was! The Gardens of Cranesbury was the first venue we toured and as soon as we arrived on the grounds I turned to Sean and said this is it (to his surprise since I never make quick decisions!). I was so impressed with the Gardens that when the wedding budget came up in conversation I often remarked I was ok with changing anything about the wedding but the venue, the Gardens of Cranesbury View was an absolute must! It helped they were very reasonably priced for all the service that was provided. One note I’d like to make is Amy provides a great list of vendors to work with and if at all possible you should stick with them. I picked a caterer that was not on her list for my Brunch wedding and they ended up going out of business a month before my Wedding Day. Once I told Amy not only did she give me the name of a great caterer who was available on such short notice and had a Brunch menu option but also she continued to follow up with them to make sure we had everything set with them in time. She is simply amazing! Also, since I had decided to craft most of my wedding I was afraid that I would have too many decorations to be set out but not only did Amy set everything up but she did it perfectly and it was done by the time of our rehearsal the day before so I had a chance to view it before the Wedding day. I had the most wonderful experience, Amy made sure our Wedding Day was flawless! We’re still getting comments on how beautiful the Venue was and I even recently had one of my guests remark they had never seen anyone so passionate about their job as Amy was. I couldn’t agree more!

Jim Whitmore(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2016 Most of the reviews you'll read here are from extremely happy brides that can't say enough great things about Amy Collins and The Gardens of Cranesbury View. While I concur with all of the positive comments, I'd like to give you a slightly different perspective...from the father of the bride! My daughter Jaclyn had her reception there last July and we couldn't have been more pleased. We had looked at several other options in the area, but selected this one for three main reasons: 1) the setting, 2) their organization/professionalism, and 3) the people. Let me explain. First of all, you'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful venue anywhere! Now I admit I'm a bit biased because we live in the Hill Country only a few miles away. However, the gardens, outdoor patio area, and reception hall are all spectacular and well suited for weddings/receptions for up to 300 guests. We had about 175 attendees and it was absolutely perfect. The beautiful setting combined with wonderful decorations made this a dream come true for my daughter. Secondly, it was obvious from our initial meeting that this venue had it's collective act together. Amy and Kathryn were extremely well organized and had an amazing attention to detail. We all felt assured from Day 1 that this would be a spectacular event, and we were not disappointed. From the meticulous planning checklists to the vendor recommendations, Amy and her team were always in control and took a lot of the pressure off of the rest of us so that we could just enjoy the day. Although our wedding was in a church in New Braunfels, Amy beautifully arranged the flowers there, then raced back to the venue to greet us and our guests at the reception. During execution of the program that evening, Amy and Kathryn kept everyone on schedule in a polite and respectful way, ensuring that all the events flowed seamlessly. They even handled my last minute request to extend the reception an additional hour without missing a beat...we were all having just too much fun to stop! Finally, Amy and Kathryn are very passionate about the service they provide to the Bride, Groom and their families. You can tell they are not just doing a job, but are really personally invested in making it a magical day for everyone. From early planning sessions to the night of the big event, I was extremely impressed with their commitment and drive to make this the best day ever for our families. It's obvious to me that Amy and her team have a real \"calling\" to serve others...we all certainly appreciated that! So here's the bottom line...it was a wonderful experience from start to finish and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I realize you can't have a Dad's review without mentioning $$, so I'll simply say that it was very reasonably priced and I'd challenge anyone to find a better value for your dollar. I think my daughter summed things up the best when she told me several times that evening, \"I feel like I'm living in a fairy tale!\" What Dad can ask for more than that? Reviewed on 07-10-2015
Erika Weber(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2015 Amy at The Gardens of Cranesbury view made our fairytale wedding come true! From the moment we first visited the venue to the moment we left our reception, everything was just as I always imagined and hoped it would be. Amy helped from day one and made the planning process amazingly fun. My mom, sister, and I always had so much fun at each of our meetings. I brought pictures of the flowers that I liked and Amy made them EXACTLY how I wanted them. She is seriously a dream. \rThe most amazing thing happened on our wedding day. It was raining most of the day, and we had to make the decision to move the ceremony indoors. Amy assured me that everything would be beautiful. Then about 10 minutes before the ceremony was about to begin the rain stopped. Amy asked me what I wanted to do and when I said I would like to move it back outside, she did not hesitate and told me we were going to make it happen because she wanted my dream to come true. I know it wasn't easy to switch everything back outside, but she never let me feel anything but at ease and that everything would be taken care of. The rain held off and we had the most beautiful ceremony outside. \rThe reception was stunning and everyone had a wonderful time.

From the moment they book you, they start guiding you on where you need to be with planning. I honestly don't know how other people do it without someone to guide them through the planning process which is timely and well documented if you follow their instruction. The day of, there were NO HICCUPS, seriously, everything was beautiful and perfect. I got married in a church in town, Amy arrived at the church with all my followers, made sure everyone had what they needed before the ceremony. As soon as it was over she rushed back to receive us brought us a drink and starting taking care of everything that possibly needed attention.

Amy Corrington(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-05-2015 I love everything about this venue!! Not only was it beautiful, but the service and assistance we got was beyond incredible!! I am originally from that area of Texas, but now living in Arizona - so I had to plan my whole wedding via email and over the phone! When you are planning a wedding this way, and working a full time job- this can be very stressful! But after initially talking with Amy Collins (the owner) she appeased my anxiety and let me know how she could help me through this! So we booked her and had our wonderful wedding there last weekend! \r\rAmy helped me with all of the flowers, from centerpieces, to bouquets, to boutineers and they exceeded my expectations!! She even surprised me by inserting the flowers I wanted but had to pull back on becasue of budget. I did not get to even see my wedding bouquet until I got to the wedding and it was more beautiful than I had imagined. \r\rSince we were not in town to meet anyone, Amy gave us contacts that helped us immensely. She suggested bartenders, whom we used and loved. She gave us a referral to the the caterer who ROCKED and everyone can't stop talking about the delicious food! She helped with rentals, from easels for signs to centerpieces to linens. I just told her what I wanted and she led me in the right direction. \r\rThe week of the wedding, I dropped off all of my decorations I dragged down to Texas and asked Amy and Kathryn to do their best with it, and it was stunning! They even creatively worked with some of the items I had to make them better, or useful in ways I had not thought of!\r\rAmy helped me also with the wedding day timeline. Although we got married at a church offsite, she helped me organize that!! Way outside of her duties, and she even attended! At the venue, she made sure everyone was in place for all the things you do at weddings :) She made sure my photographer took the right photos, made sure my dad was ready for the dance, made sure the dj announced my bridal party, gathered everyone for the garter/bouquet toss, cake cutting, and then send off! \r\rWhat I appreciate most, was knowing that Amy was following up with me throughout the whole process. If I had a question over anything, she always got back to me. I changed my mind a lot and she was patient and helped me to decide on things I struggled with to ensure that I had the best day ever. She made sure my vendors were on track and pretty much handled everything...besides marrying us!!\r\rUnfortunately, there was a terrible storm that day and I was so worried that my wedding would be a bummer, but Amy helped rearrange everything and I didn't even notice the rain becasue I was having too good of a time!\r\rI would highly recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury View to anyone who is planning a wedding. The help, assistance and experience are all provided by the staff and she has excellent vendor relationships. We are so glad we had such a great team there to help make our wedding day exactly what I wanted!!\r\rThank you Amy and Kathryn!!!\r\r Reviewed on 02-06-2015

It was only the second one we had looked at. The venue is breathtaking with all the flowers and foliage. Amy Collins the venue coordinator is absolutely AMAZING from the moment we first met with her. She is so helpful, as well as her staff, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and was there every step of the way. She even provided us with a vendor list to help us find other local vendors to use for our special day. Not only was she our venue coordinator, but she was also our florist, and we were able to rent everything from her from the china, linens, utensils, and vases which made our life so much easier having to go through one person. She was able to put our idea that we had in our head come to life. We had a vintage wedding and she made it absolutely PERFECT! It was everything we had imagined. The flowers came out better than I ever thought possible and after the wedding all everyone could talk about was all the flowers everywhere and the center pieces. Looking back neither one of us would have changed a thing!! She made the entire night go so smoothly without any hiccups. We appreciate her hard work and dedication and I will be sure to recommend her to anyone I know getting married! Reviewed on 13-05-2015

The staff was so well organized, the reception went off without a hitch! So many of my guests commented on how beautiful everything was and how nice Amy and her staff were. Amy also did my flowers and they were stunning. I live in Oklahoma and it was such a relief to have Amy help me with all of the planning and preparation. She is so knowledgeable and helpful.

Amy was our right hand thought the entire night, keeping us on track and being flexible if my husband and I chose to make adjustments to our timeline as the night progressed. \rBeing a sister and bridesmaid before, I was concerned with how the clean up portion of the night would go. We did not want our family and friends to worry about staying late to clean the venue, which they did not have to. Amy packed up the cars with everything within a half hour of the event ending.

I now realize the importance of having a good wedding consultant, Amy made everything so simple and honestly I could not have done this with out her. My friends have gotten married at other venues where you are doing all the work up to the hour of the wedding - decorations, etc. But with Amy, I didn't have to worry about a thing, ESPECIALLY the day of my wedding, which is the most important! I got to get my hair and makeup done without a worry at all!\r\rThe pictures of this venue doesn't do it justice, it is absolutely gorgeous.

She helped me throughout my wedding planning from how much cake I should get to how I could bustle my wedding dress. She's a world of knowledge! I loved the detailed timeline they planned out for us and that Ashley called each and every vendor to confirm the week before the wedding. On the day of the wedding I woke up to massive rain and street flooding, but was I worried? Nope. I knew there was a backup plan (that we even rehearsed the day before) and all of the staff were there working hard getting everything set up. We even had Ashley give us roads with low water crossing that could be an issue with guests. The rain actually stopped two hours before and we were even able to have the wedding ceremony outside. \r\rThey are the main reason our wedding was such an wonderful time.

Stacia Wellington(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-07-2013 Amy and Ashley are quite possibly cut out for the work of wedding planning. They are much more than \"day of\" coordinators, since they act as your personal consultants from the time you book the venue to the time you drive off as husband and wife. \r\rWhat struck me about The Gardens of Cranesbury View is the genuine feeling of comfort I felt walking the grounds and being hosted by Amy and Ashley as I toured the facility. While we did not decide to get married on site, it was evident that the elegant, exceptionally manicured lawn and gardens, and the classy reception hall with beautiful molding would provide an exceptional backdrop for a reception for our guests. \r\rOur reception felt seamlessly executed and we felt as if we had no worries with Ashley ready in the wings. From bustling my dress to helping me get into my reception shoes after hours on my feet, from finding my sister's bouquet in my parent's car in the parking lot to delivering the flowers to the church the hour before the ceremony, she was prompt and also ready to meet any challenge head on with a genuine, caring smile.\r\rEven with the final head count landing right above 100 (from an initial 150 estimate), the reception hall felt the perfect size for all the guests, the cake tables, and our 6 piece band. \r\rIn addition to the proprietor's (Amy) familiarity with the property (she designed it after all!) is her training as a horticulturist. Amy executed my flowers (bouquets, corsages, table arrangements, center piece for the church, etc) UNDER budget and incorporated my vision and creative ideas while gently advising me how I could get the look and feel I desired without \"busting the bank\".\r\rGuests commented on the wonderful experience, and one even exclaimed that she \"is ready to move to New Braunfels\" after spending such a wonderful evening in the Hill Country. \r\rI was always able to say very honestly, that I felt much more at ease by the end of a phone call or meeting with Amy or Ashley---they are truly gifted in their craft and deserve your trust if you choose to engage their services.\r\r Reviewed on 14-07-2013

I am here to say that it was more than what I would have ever desired for our daughter! From the first day we stepped foot on the gorgeous property and met Amy Collins the Owner of the venue, we knew at that moment that our daughter would marry there! The place had everything we wanted! Beautiful hill country views, gorgeous landscaped grounds, tons of flowers everywhere, a Juliet balcony (for bouquet tossing) twinkle lights on the courtyard, send of with sparklers and a gorgeous hall w/ an elegant feel of romance in the air! It was the fairytale wedding my little girl always wanted and we could not have been more happy with the place and the amazing staff that handled everything to the tee! The place is a perfect setting for a wedding in more ways than one! Amy the Owner is able to provide for you so many options that pretty much work with most wedding budgets. Plus, she is a florist as well and can do all of the flowers for you! She did ours and they were stunning! I can go on and on about the place and our over-all experience but I know I have a writing limit. Bottom line is that this place by far beat all of the venues we visited for our daughter's wedding.

Thank the Lord that Ashley was there to keep me calm and collected and provide a buffer between me and the church's coordinator. What a disaster that felt like. But Ashley was there for me, carried my train for me, and stayed with me until the moment they opened the big church doors for me to make my entrance. It was so good to have her there for me and she made me feel so much less stressed with all that felt like was going wrong. I wish I could say different about the church, but they made me feel rushed, uncomfortable, and started the ceremony without me because they \"could not wait\". Amy and Ashley know it's a stressful day and they know exactly how to communicate things to you without making you feel rushed and uncomfortable. Thank you Ashley for being there for me.\r\rOnce the ceremony started the rest of the day went beautifully! In the hands of Amy and her crew nothing went wrong.

Her upbeat attitude is contagious and she makes you feel special, like you are the only one getting married at her venue. After working with the other vendors she hands down gave the best service and attention. Her venue doesn't come cheap, but it's well worth the money if you can afford it. Amy had Ashley run our show and she was just as wonderful. Ashley had everything together and handled herself amazingly, she even grabbed my shoes when they didn't make it with me down the aisle! The mixture of the heel type I had and the grass and rain from earlier in the day didn't go well and she was nice enough to try and clean them up for me. Not everything went smoothly with other vendors, but Ashley made sure that we didn't worry about much and by the end I wanted to call her my friend. We had many compliments on the venue.

From the moment my daughter walked onto the property, she was enchanted. Amy sealed the deal with her great attention to detail and desire to understand the bride and grooms hopes and dreams for their wedding. Amy is extremely attentive, organized and creative.

Jayme Burket(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2012 I cannot say enough about The Gardens and Amy and her staff. The whole experience from beginning to end was perfect. The best thing was that I was able to plan everything (pick out the caterer, band, party favors, menus, programs, cakes, etc.) so I could have just what I wanted, but then in the last weeks leading up to the wedding Amy handled calling everyone and making sure they knew the plan, would all be there on time, and do everything they were supposed to do. Because of this, the wedding week was so low stress--I really didn't have to worry about anything. The night of the wedding, Amy and her staff (especially Ashley, who was also wonderful) walked us calmly through the whole evening, telling us where to be and what to do and everything so we never had to worry about what was coming next or if we were running on schedule or whether all the candles were lit or the band was ready, etc. It was a dream. And, of course, Amy's venue both inside and out is beautiful. Also, the flowers that Amy did for all of the tables, decorations, bouquets, etc. were better than I could have ever imagined.

Weddings have been my dream since college! Years later I have been blessed with a beautiful wedding venue; and I get to pursue my passions every day. I designed the gardens myself, in my favorite style (European)! It really is quite different from the standard hill country look. I'm a big plant nerd, and tend to be super optimistic and energetic. I love the experience of getting to know every bride and groom, and help make their day truly perfect. I hope I see you soon!
