We are the real thing, including the distinction of being designated a true historic landmark.

It has all the architectural elements to make for a one-of-a-kind, romantic chapel ceremony, including lanterns and antique white church pews. Also, the farmstead includes 2 separate cottages for day-of activity, dressing and preparations for the evening. In the evening, lighting casts a magical glow throughout the property, including tree lights in the orchard and bistro lights. After the reception dinner, the party flows out onto the 1200 square foot attached covered barn pavilion, unveiling the large Texas skies, surrounded with more bistro lights and room to spare for dancing and celebration.

They made everything perfect. I fell in love with the chapel and the entire place. It’s historic which the history nerd in me loved. We did the inclusive package and it made everything a lot easier. The vendors they have are also amazing so you can’t go wrong.

Our daughter chose this venue and we couldn’t have been more delighted. This was a fairy tale wedding in a charming, rustic, romantic setting. Everyone was so kind and so helpful. They went above and beyond to be accommodating and make sure everything went so smoothly. The ceremony was inside a quaint church with a wonderful indoor reception and dancing under the stars. This was a simple but elegant setting for a Christ honoring wedding. We are so thankful for a beautiful day, fabulous wedding and a blessed marriage.

No rehearsal the night before. It has to be done the morning of. You’re not allowed on the grounds until 11:30 AM. Our hair/makeup team needed to start by 9:30 for pictures at 2:30. We offered to pay the $300/hr for TWO extra hours. Anne said no because staff needed to clean, even though they didn’t have an event the night before. I expressed concern with a five-hour event. Anne insisted couples get tired and want to leave early. She finally agreed to a six-hour event after I said how disappointed our families were with her lack of willingness to work with us. I reached out about whether ice was provided. She said it was, but then said it wasn’t. She stated she had said yes because she would have ice for water but not for other drinks. After showing the email where she said it was provided, she agreed.The staff does not cut the cake. A family member has to cut it. Unusual for an event, as there is normally a cake cutting fee. Anne said no to providing that service.We wanted an ice cream truck. Anne said no. We received an email stating there should be minimal drinking while getting ready on the grounds. It was restated by Anne in the morning, saying, “emphasis on minimal.” A man drove the golf cart to take the bridal party to the chapel. I asked if it was time to take us, as we were sitting there for a while. He said that the staff would radio him. We watched our wedding video and, for one minute and twenty-eight seconds, everyone was turned around watching the door waiting for my dad and me. A $1,000 retainer was collected. Anne sat in and/or around the chapel the ENTIRE cocktail hour to dictate where people were drinking because her floor wasn't sealed. Anne asked multiple people to stand outside with their drink, including our uncle, who has Parkinson’s. She should not have been walking around enforcing rules with guests. That is why you collect a retainer.Despite seating chart, staff put eight plates at every table. Guests decided to move around to other tables which left one table empty and one table with two guests. My MIL and FIL felt badly for the two guests, whom they had never met before, and decided to eat dinner with them.We dealt with a tornado warning in Southern Waller County, thirty miles from The Grand Texana. “The National Weather Service send out alerts when a tornado or other immediate emergency is happening. They're distributed to all phones within a certain radius of the emergency.” We were not within the radius. My main complaint how it was handled. We had the venue until 10:30, as we paid the additional fees. Denise brought her phone up to me TWICE on the dance floor IN FRONT of my guests to show the radar. Then, Anne and Denise walked up to us again while on the dance floor and Anne said, “We’re shutting it down.” She asked us to go inside to talk. She told us she “couldn’t hear” and made the DJ turn the music off. Guests sat outside for fifteen minutes in silence. We were told guests needed to come inside and be gone by 10 PM. After that, we never saw Anne or Denise. Denise didn’t setup a send-off so we didn’t have one. Neither were around to assist with clean up, but of course, Anne complained about a bottle being disposed of incorrectly. However, we were left to ask the security guard if it looked the way Anne would like it.•••Anne had her hand in every detail every step of the way. She is passive aggressive and not flexible at all. Look elsewhere.

We are active duty military stationed in Germany, and our family knew planning our wedding from across the world would be quite the undertaking, let alone one in 3 months’ notice! Catering, DJ, bakery goods, day-of coordinator, vendor recommendations and STUNNING decorations were all included! We were emailed thorough written guides of all necessary planning steps, which was perfect for us! The historic barn, chapel, and bride/groom cottages were all beautiful facilities, and they made our wedding day feel that much more romantic. Anne and Denise were both lovely to work with, thorough to ensure no details we missed on our big day, and happy to assist with questions and last-minute needs. If you are in need of beautiful, rustic, low-stress wedding venue, this is the place!

The Grand Texana was perfect! As MOG, my only involvement was oohhh and ahhing over the wonderful choices my future daughter-in-law and her mother were making. From what I understand, the wedding coordinators worked well with their family, including being accommodating with meetings and planning with my d-in-law being out of the country. The grounds are beautiful, the venues are gorgeous. I love the history of the venues and it added so much charm to our event. The groom's carriage house is understated yet elegant, and the bridal cottage is breathtaking, spacious and decorated so lovely. There were several drawbacks that didn't affect our event much, but there are rules in place based on what the venue has endured due to other wedding parties taking advantage of The Grand Texana. Just be aware of them, and note that the venue has had to implement those because others act inappropriately. If you're unsure...really read what they are expecting of you as these are followed quite closely, including time frames.I would say it would be beneficial to the venue to provide outdoor seating for those who are infirmed (or tired of dancing!) during the hors d'oeuvres hour and during the dancing, rather than having guests bring chairs in from the reception. Also, if the weather is to be cold, and you're having dancing, bring blankets for your guests. Our evening turned quite brisk and ended up raining, and despite the heaters our bride's family brought it, it was still very cold for those who were not dancing. As well, if rain is predicted, bring umbrellas. You can go from the chapel to the reception and dancing area without getting wet, but if you need to use the restrooms, that pathway is uncovered.

Anne and Stormye helped my fiance and I reschedule our original wedding date due to COVID and made the process very easy on us. They also helped us ensure that our guests would feel safe and socially distanced at the ceremony and reception and still have a good time. We went with the all inclusive package which made planning very easy for my wife. The DJ was very easy to work with and the food options were perfect. The dessert bar and cake option was so unique and our guests loved it. Stormye kept my wife calm and made our day run so smoothly. Could not have asked for a smoother wedding than that, especially while dealing with a pandemic! Thank you all!

Anne and Stormye did their best to help us ensure that the ceremony and reception were socially distanced and that our guests would feel safe and still have a good time. Everyone on their staff made our day run so smoothly and the all inclusive package was had such nice gorgeous decorations.

(we still dream about those cake balls) Stormye made our day run so smoothly and calmly- and even body blocked a late guest from trying to walk down the aisle as the wedding processional was going! What a life saver! Could not have asked for a smoother wedding than that, especially while dealing with a pandemic! Thank you all!

Beware of this venue. The Grand Texana has beautiful features but is oddly laid out. The bridal suite is across the venue far away from everything else. The bathrooms for guests are in a completely different building then the reception area. If it rains you will get soaked going to the restroom. I was in a wedding there just recently. The Bride, bridesmaids and myself(Matron of honor)arrived at the time told to us by the venue. When we arrived (40 mins prior to the ceremony)I was sternly spoken to by the wedding coordinator and demanded to be at the chapel in 10 minutes with all the other bridesmaids. There was no need to rush us to stand in a chapel for 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. Once we frantically rushed over we stood idly waiting for absolutely no reason, the same as the Groom and Groomsmen. Before the ceremony began the Bride was rushed into the same area her groom was standing where he could see her!! This is totally unacceptable! To say she was livid is an understatement. After the ceremony the reception took place. The Bride and Groom were rushed to do everything and were even asked 45 minutes prior to the reception being over if the venue could start picking up decor and cleaning up. Ridiculous!! They are paying to have the FULL experience. The entire wedding party felt as though the Venue wanted to get the wedding done and over with. Brides and Grooms, if you are wanting a Wedding that flows easy and are wanting a magical experience, this is not the venue for you.

This venue is very pretty. We had a short, 5 hour event (Sunday Brunch Wedding). We were very rushed upon arriving to the venue, had no time to even say hello to our bridal party, and felt that the venue just wanted to get things over with. We gave the venue our arrival times, which they said were totally fine, but as soon as people began arriving, we were hurried to get things done. We were not allowed to arrive earlier than 10AM, with a ceremony beginning at 11AM. This would have been fine, but there was no reason to rush my Groom and his Groomsmen into the chapel at 10:30. He didn't even have time to give his groomsmen their gifts and say thank you. If this was going to be so rushed, we should have been advised of this and/or allowed to arrive a bit earlier.I do see that this brunch wedding is no longer an option offered on their website packages, so maybe we were the last couple to be able to have the inclusive brunch wedding and they were ready to get things over with.I was asked, while the reception was still going on, if they could start clearing out decor. There is a paid hour cleanup at the end of the reception - this shouldn’t have even been a question.All in all, we felt we couldn't even enjoy our day because of how rushed we were.EDIT: The response from the venue is comical at best. We chose our start time, asked the venue if it was okay, had invitations printed, and then were told the earliest we could arrive was 10AM. At NO point was it appropriate to rush my groom into the chapel at 10:30AM, usher me into the chapel while my groom was standing in plain view of me before the ceremony, or ask if clean up could begin before the reception was over. This venue is deceptive at best and, judging by the responses to the other bad reviews, are passive aggressive in their comments. Spend a little extra and go somewhere else, brides. It’s not worth it here.

This venue was absolutely PHENOMENAL! My wife and I had our wedding in February and the way the sun set on the property was breathtaking. There were two separate barns; one for the ceremony and one for the reception, both of which were incredibly beautiful and super spacious! The best part was they were super close together. There was no walking across the property to get from the ceremony to the reception, they were only a short stroll away from each other. Stormye and Anne provided us an altogether complete and amazing experience, both on our wedding day and leading up to the wedding. They both made sure everything was in place and ready to go physically on wedding day, but also planning everything out in the months prior: nothing was left out or forgotten. If you’re looking for a wedding venue to provide a next level wedding, seriously consider The Grand Texana. We didn’t just get married there, we made memories that’ll last a lifetime and truly created the best day of our lives.

If you are looking for the perfect venue, LOOK NO FURTHER! My fiancé and I lived out of state at the time we booked the venue, and Stormye, the wedding coordinator, was so helpful! She gave us a FaceTime tour and answered all of our questions. The venue was EVERYTHING I had dreamed of! The all inclusive package made our wedding day so easy, especially since we lived out of state. Decorations, DELICIOUS food, desserts, wedding cake, the DJ and more were all provided for us! It was so stress-free I felt like I had to be forgetting something, but I wasn’t, it was already taken care of by Stormye and Anne! The property is breath taking, we had so many compliments. One of my favorite features was the Bridal Cottage, it was so awesome! It had a full kitchen, bathroom and shower, mirrors and vanity’s to get ready, closets, couches, and the cutest decorations! It was seriously the cutest house ever and I loved being able to stay there and get ready with my bridesmaids and mom that morning. The entire day was a breeze and I loved every second of it!

It was so stress-free I felt like I had to be forgetting something, but I wasn’t, it was already taken care of by Stormye and Anne! The property is breath taking, we had so many compliments. One of my favorite features was the Bridal Cottage, it was so awesome! It had a full kitchen, bathroom and shower, mirrors and vanity’s to get ready, closets, couches, and the cutest decorations! It was seriously the cutest house ever and I loved being able to stay there and get ready with my bridesmaids and mom that morning. The entire day was a breeze and I loved every second of it!

As much as I wish I was writing an amazing review right now, that’s unfortunately not the case. If you would have asked me 2 months ago, this would be a 5 star review. The Grand Texana was great from our first venue tour, taking my bridal portraits on site, to working with me on my requests. Ann and Stormye were very friendly and were always there to answer my questions. We had our 30 day meeting and everything seemed like it was going to be perfect and I truly thought it was going to be. Unfortunately about 2 weeks after the 30 day meeting the Covid-19 became serious and our wedding unfortunately had to be canceled. At first Ann was very helpful and apologetic, but then the question came if we were going to get our money back and the answer was no we had to go through our wedding insurance. I then remembered they required us to purchase wedding insurance and it was part of the contract that we buy it(we paid for it not the venue). Which thank God we had it because we would have lost $15,000. Basically what I am saying is that it just doesn’t sit right with me that a venue gets to keep $15,000 for not providing all of the services. I would understand if it was our fault that it was canceled and they could have had a wedding in our spot and earn money on that. But that just simply is not the case, the Covid-19 was something that was out of our control.

The Grand Texana was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding! The venue and grounds are stunning, Stormye and Anne and their team are so attentive to everything, and their vendors are top notch. From the first meeting with Anne to the final coordination with Stormye, it's so clear that they are experts at what they do. You can really tell they work tirelessly to make sure that your day is perfect. It was awesome to be able to relax in the groom's cottage with some of my closest friends while watching college football on the big screen and getting ready for the ceremony. I would 100% recommend the Grand Texana to anyone!

I am a student in Tennessee at the moment, and I knew planning our wedding from a distance wouldn't be easy. That's why I went with The Grand Texana's all-inclusive package. If you're short on spare time for researching vendors, but still want a unique and beautiful wedding, this package is for you! Catering, DJ, cake (and delicious desserts), security, month-of coordination, and TONS of beautiful decor were all included in one price and one contract. (Every vendor included is amazing, btw.) AND Stormye & Anne recommended one of their favorite photographers, who was also amazing. Having so many important details already taken care of brought me so much peace of mind. Having vendors that know the venue and know each other cut down on so much communication and coordination from me, which gave me more energy to focus on our personal touches and the JOY of marrying the love of my life!!! Stormye & Anne - THANK YOU for the best day ever!

The Grand Texana had the historic charm and amenities that I was looking for in a venue. Being from Texas, I had to have a little old along with clean elegance and this venue hit the spot!I called to schedule a viewing a little over a year out and was able to book the viewing instantly - now to get the groom and my bestie to come with me! We met Anne in the office of the venue and her sweet charm had us smiling from ear to ear. We were excited to see this place! She took us on the tour - the property itself is adorned with huge trees and white barns and cottages - my mind was running wild with all the possibilities! Our first stop was the Groom's Cottage - near the front of the property and large enough for the guys to feel at home and settle nerves before meeting up with the girls later. We then came upon the white structure,open to the elements with a RED chandelier hanging (this was one of the main reasons for seeing this venue in person) on our way to the Bride's Cottage. This cottage was decorated with so many personal touches and very spacious to have areas for makeup, hair, sipping champagne and even changing into our dresses. Next stop on the tour was the Chapel - the part of the historic dairy barn! Such a cool place and very bright and airy. I'm pretty sure at this point the future hubs knew I was going to make up my mind almost instantly. Anne took us to the reception area where we entered through the Big Red Sliding Barn Doors...and I saw inside and tears came to both my eyes and my bridesmaid's and we looked at the groom and all smiled - we all knew this was the place to have the best day of our lives!Anne ran through the options and packages and we decided that day, this was the venue for our special day.Stormye was in contact with me and keep me on track with the decisions that needed to be made for the year leading up to the BIG DAY. I had so many questions!! But they both put me at ease and made planning fun! The Big Day came and I couldn't have asked for better bridesmaids, groomsmen or vendors to make this day complete and fun. The Grand Texana will work with you to make your dream wedding a reality. I literally only had to bring photos and a few personal sentiments to turn this venue into a perfect setting for SHINE1109 - the whole property is just beautiful.Thank you ladies for a day I will never forget and of course to my awesome Groom who let me pick the venue! Wink Wink!Highly recommend this venue and staff!

They LOVED the venue and raved about Anne and Stormye, so we knew it was the place. It was really easy to work with them even from far far away; they were so accommodating of our FaceTime needs and schedule as we did all the tastings during a quick trip home and prep meetings remotely. We wanted so badly to get married outside but we weren’t able to because of the rain- but the indoor ceremony venue was stunning (and air conditioned- probably a better choice anyway!). The food and dessert vendors included in our package both were amazing- everyone loved the brisket! And of course Anne and Stormye both went out of their way to make us feel calm and comfortable all day, dealing with all the insanity behind the scenes. I’d recommend The Grand Texana to anyone.

I want to start of by saying that the venue is beautiful. There's no denying the elegance or charm of the barn & its surroundings. For the most part, I think my wedding was fabulous, & my guests seemed to really enjoy themselves... but there were a few bumps along the road that I think other brides should be aware of. I should also mention that my family & I are pretty laid back/low maintenance, so keep this in mind as you read. The all inclusive package prices only account for 100 guests, so if you plan on having more than that, just know that you'll be paying extra for both dinner & dessert (pretty standard, but they didn't tell us until we were signing the contract). They also have you rent pretty much ALL of their decor, which eats up the majority of the $500 decor credit that's included in the package, which is fine. But they left out a lot of decor that I didn't rent on the day of my wedding, which made me question why I had to pay for the extra decor once I exceeded my $500 credit if they were going to leave most of it out anyway. There were also a lot of things that weren't included in the all inclusive package that you end up having to add on (i.e. security, insurance, etc.), so we ended up paying about $5k more than what was advertised. They also accidentally cancelled my DJ because they got my wedding mixed up with another one. I get that everyone makes mistakes.. but I was the one that figured it out. Not the venue. So had I not taken the initiative to email my DJ some questions, I probably would have showed up to my wedding & not had a DJ. They did fix it & I did have a DJ, but I had a hard time trusting them after that. They also tell you that you have access to the venue for 12 hours (11:30am-11:30pm), with the last hour of the evening reserved for clean up, & I was fully aware of when I signed my contract with them. But I often felt pressured by Anne to end my wedding earlier. She asked me on multiple occassions if I wanted to end my wedding earlier than I had planned, which seemed kind of odd considering 10:30pm really isn't that late for a wedding. They're also kind of weird about their 30 day consultation. Anytime I had questions during the process, they would answer my questions & work with me, but not without reminding me that we'd talk about it during the 30 day consultation (which just started to seem a bit passive aggressive at times). Lastly, there was a miscommunication between Anne & the day of coordinator regarding my day of timeline & how long we had booked the DJ for. Long story short, I was given a day of timeline that said the wedding would end at 10:30pm, and we were told (the morning of) that we were all paid up (including the extra time for the DJ). Well, at about 9pm, I was asked if I could end my wedding early because the DJ was only paid until 10pm & said that we needed to write them another check if we wanted to have the DJ until 10:30. I think had I not already felt like I'd been pressured multiple times to end my wedding earlier, things might have gone a little differently, but I ended up in tears, the check we wrote for the extra 30 minutes was ripped up in my sister's face, and my parents missed the send off because they were arguing with the owner. But the food was great, the wedding was beautiful, and overall I had a good time. And I think it's PERFECT for smaller weddings that end earlier in the day. And I don't regret the venue I chose, I just wish some things had gone a little differently

Anytime I had questions during the process, they would answer my questions & work with me, but not without reminding me that we'd talk about it during the 30 day consultation (which just started to seem a bit passive aggressive at times). Lastly, there was a miscommunication between Anne & the day of coordinator regarding my day of timeline & how long we had booked the DJ for. Long story short, I was given a day of timeline that said the wedding would end at 10:30pm, and we were told (the morning of) that we were all paid up (including the extra time for the DJ). Well, at about 9pm, I was asked if I could end my wedding early because the DJ was only paid until 10pm & said that we needed to write them another check if we wanted to have the DJ until 10:30. I think had I not already felt like I'd been pressured multiple times to end my wedding earlier, things might have gone a little differently, but I ended up in tears, the check we wrote for the extra 30 minutes was ripped up in my sister's face, and my parents missed the send off because they were arguing with the owner. But the food was great, the wedding was beautiful, and overall I had a good time. And I think it's PERFECT for smaller weddings that end earlier in the day. And I don't regret the venue I chose, I just wish some things had gone a little differently

The Grand Texana was an amazing venue for me and my wife’s wedding. The property is absolutely stunning and the event couldn’t have gone any better. Ann, the owner of the property is extremely welcoming and was a fantastic host. Paige, our day of event coordinator, was a huge help and made sure that everything was planned before the event, and the day of she made sure everything was set up and kept everything on schedule. I was extremely happy with the entire process, starting with our initial visit, our food tasting, the 30 day meeting, and all leading up to the big day. I would put more than 5 stars if there was an option and I would recommend the Grand Texana to everyone.

We toured this venue back in 2016 and immediately fell in love. We booked it a little over 2 years before our wedding date, which was a little nerve racking as a lot can happen/change in that amount of time. The owner, Anne, was so great about keeping us in the loop on all of the improvements they were making to the venue and we were able to visit again just before our wedding to see all of the changes in person. The day of coordinator that was included in our venue rental package, Paige, was a GODSEND. Her title does not do her justice. She worked with us way before the day of to help us plan and finalize many of the small details you might overlook and then stress about the day of. She was so great about communicating with us and with our vendors to help take some of the pressure off of me. On the actual wedding day, she and the venue took care of everything. I honestly don't know what we would've done without her help. Additionally, we chose to use the caterer recommended by the venue, and the food was some of the best we've ever had. We went with the barbeque, and so many of our guests were commenting on how great it was. As for the venue itself, it was absolutely stunning. The newly converted chapel that we held our ceremony in was so bright and full of character, which meant that we didn't need much in the way of florals and decor. One of my favorite things about the Grand Texana was the history behind it. Many of the other venues you see were built specifically for weddings and large events, but The Grand Texana was a 1900s dairy farm that Anne and her family converted into a venue. I appreciated how tastefully done the renovation was and their decision to keep some of the original features so that it retained that farmhouse charm that I love. Our experience was absolutely amazing and our wedding day was beyond perfect.

We had a wonderful experience at The Grand Texana! My daughter was married there on Nov 3,2018. I knew from our first visit with Anne that the unique barn venue was exactly what my daughter was looking for- a comfortable, family oriented,and inviting environment. Anne,her husband,and their staff were wonderful. They treat each couple as part of their family. That makes for a very welcoming, caring,and inviting atmosphere. My daughter choose the \"inclusive package\". It was worth it and all the vendor were great! Anne and her staff took care of almost everything. The few items that were not taken care of by the inclusive package, Anne provided my daughter a list of possible vendors that she recommended and had worked with in the past. My daughter was able to get these items taken care of quickly. Paige, the day of coordinator, was great. She answered all my daughters questions and made sure the \"big day\" would go perfectly! She coordinatedwith all the vendors and had everything set up just as she and my daughter discussed. All the guests had fabulous things to say about all the food and the venue.

She was absolutely perfect!! The only thing that I wish was different was the catering option. We did like the BBQ but we would've liked to taste more options. Seeing as the caterer that is associated is in Hempstead and only allows food tasting during the week and in work hours made it extremely difficult tasting the food we'd have at the wedding.. Therefore, we basically chose blindly. Overall this was a perfect venue for our wedding. I want to give a HUGE thanks to Amber and Anne.

To have our wedding at The Grand Texana was nothing short of magical. My Husband and I were able to have fun and celebrate with our friends and families worry free. Anne and her staff did an amazing job being responsive to all of our questions and needs throughout the planning process and day of. The property is beautiful, you really can't go wrong with where you have the ceremony or reception. Having Amber as the day of coordinator was such a blessing, she is the best! I hope many more couples get to make their dreams come true at The Grand Texana, you will not be disappointed.

Wedding date: October 21, 2017After visiting a variety of venues, I knew right away that The Grand Texana was where I wanted to get married! The entire place is charming and made me feel at ease. My husband and I are both easy-going people and wanted our wedding day to be as stress-free as possible. We loved so many things about this venue so i'll just list them below. - Great location (right in the middle for our Houston and College Station families) - Location again (spacious, beautiful outdoor space, secluded and away from the city) - Charming details EVERYWHERE! (Decorative mantle, doors, lanterns, greenery, wood top tables, chapel arch, adorable cow decor, just everything!) - Separate areas (You have different options to choose from for holding your ceremony/reception/dancing. No need to worry about unpredictable weather! There's also heating/cooling inside. Big plus!) - Wonderful staff (Very nice and professional. Anne and Amber are wonderful to work with. Quick to respond to e-mails.) - Ample parking space ( I saw that some guests were escorted by golf cart to get to the ceremony spot. Walking in the grass with heels can be tricky.) - Relaxing suites for bride and groom (The bridal suite has plenty of natural light for getting ready! We had plenty of seating, a cute kitchen for getting lunch ready, and two bathrooms!) - Rehearsal dinner the night before (Doing this was a huge help when it came to getting ready for the wedding day. We were able to bring a lot of items and set some of it up. ) - Catering area ( We brought in our catering so they didn't use this space but we did for holding extra drinks, decor, and food. Having extra space is always good. ) With any big event, there will be a few bumps. Mentioned below are the only things I could think of. - We had a little bump in planning regarding the number of children attending but it all worked out and they all had a blast dancing. - It felt like the night came to a close a little early. I believe it was a little before 10pm when we had our last dance. - After our bride/groom exit, the wedding party went to the suites to retrieve their belongings. The venue staff were already in there cleaning so the party felt rushed. It would have been nice to have access for about 15mins before the crew comes in. Overall, we had a great experience with The Grand Texana. We had so much fun and are thankful we came across the venue!

The Grand Texana is a true Texas treasure located in the beautiful Chappell Hill area!Growing up in Houston and in Victoria I have roots in both city and rural Texas. I wanted a casual country wedding that was still classy, chic and not too far for my Houstonians. When I first stepped foot on the property I felt like I was home. You are greeted with huge pecan trees, green fields, blue skies, the Texas sun and occasionally cattle in the background – not to mention the warm and loving individuals who keep the property running! During your tour you will fall in love with the beauty of the barn, chapel and open-air patio. All it needs is a gentle touch of florals, up lighting and love for the venue to just POP! The price tag on this venue will not hurt the bank and the caterer they work with is an even better steal! The Grand Texana also provides a wonderful day of coordinator who handles her job with poise and ease. Reports from our guests unanimously say that this venue is a true hidden gem of Texas - and I could not agree more! The Grand Texana is well worth the drop by on your way to Austin, Round Top, College Station or Brenham. You will not regret it!Mrs. Marileigh Marbach LouxSeptember 23, 2017

Anne was wonderful to work with and made sure everything went off as planned. Amber was on top of things and was such a great help. We got so many compliments on the venue. From the white fences, all the antiques and the amazing views, it was the most perfect wedding! The barn doors were opened during the ceremony and it was just gorgeous! I can't wait to see the official wedding pictures from the photographer. Thank you for making this wedding just perfect! We even had a rainbow appear over the venue during dinner.

First things first, The Grand Texana was an outstanding venue from first meeting to saying goodbye after the reception.The only requirement we had at first was to get married in front of a field of wildflowers (which turned out to be MUCH harder than we thought!). After much searching, we happened across The Grand Texana and they had a wonderful field of yellow wildflowers. The only thing was, it was inside a long white fence. Sensing our disappointment in having the flowers blocked from view, Anne (the owner) volunteered to removed the pieces of wood from one post to another, creating an opening for us to get married in front of.Talk about accommodating! They also allowed us to go out in the fall and throw out more wildflower seeds to add a little additional colour for the spring. We ended up with some Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, Black-Eyed Susans and more.With only six months of planning time, Anne and Amber (the day-of coordinator) were so amazing to work with, and were attentive to our questions and ideas at all times. Seeing as Hempstead is a bit of a drive for us, they were very prompt with e-mail, phone and text replies. The day of went off without a hitch on their end, and everyone raved about what a beautiful and unique facility it was. With such an open area throughout the grounds, there was so much potential for personalization, yet we wanted to let the venue mostly speak for itself.The separate Bride's and Groom's quarters were such a cool feature, and really allowed us to spend time with our people without feeling cramped (as is the case in so many other venue holding areas).The weather was perfect, the sunset immaculate and Amber was always there to anticipate our needs. While our timeline started inevitably running late, she made sure we were aware, but was never pushy...she just adjusted the schedule according to our wishes.I could go on and fill the character count, but you get the idea! We were infinitely happy with choosing The Grand Texana, and we whole-heartedly thank them for everything and recommend them for your wedding day!

This is a great venue at a pretty reasonable price. There are options on where to have the ceremony and reception since they have a barn, chapel, outdoor grass area and a nice covered area. We went with a caterer through the owners, and the food was excellent and cheap! The Day of coordinator was great and helped things move along smoothly and timely. The one set back was that this is a new venue, and they are still getting used to running it, so they changes their ways of doing things a couple times on us. Overall, it was a great venue, and I would suggest it to anyone getting married.

My beautiful daughter was married at The Grand Texana on 4/22/2017. I want to provide a “father’s” view of how everything went. I know that my daughter will also be writing her view as soon as she returns from her honeymoon. My wife and daughter looked at several different locations for the wedding and reception and they would come back and tell me that they were nice but they were not “perfect”. They told me that they would know the “perfect” location the minute they walked in. I didn’t really understand what that meant until we found The Grand Texana. We met with Anne and she gave us a tour the beautiful grounds, the Chapel, barn, reception hall and cottages. When we left that day, we knew that our daughter would be married at The Grand Texana. At that one location, we had so many options. My daughter was married in the Chapel. We also had the option of having an outdoor wedding which would have been equally beautiful. I am going to fast forward to “The Big Day”. We had let Anne know that we would be there at 1100 am to begin decorating and setting up, the Bride/bridesmaids would be doing their hair and make-up and the groom/groomsmen would be there also. When we pulled up, Anne’s husband Les was waiting for us by the gate to provide whatever assistance we needed. The grounds were immaculate and everything was waiting for us. It could not have been any better!Amber was our “day of” coordinator. I personally think that her title needs to be changed to “make everything perfect” coordinator. She was with us every step of the way and helped make my daughter’s wedding day dreams become a reality.From the minute we met Anne, Les and Amber, they made us feel like we were family and that my daughter’s wedding was their wedding also. We cannot thank them enough for making my daughter’s wedding special for all who attended.If you are looking for the perfect location to host a wedding and reception, you should visit The Grand Texana. Anne, Les and Amber will help make all of your wedding dreams come true.

My son and his lovely bride were married at The Grand Texana. Every detail was beautiful. The owners went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We couldn't have been more happier with the venue and the assistance we received in making their day perfect!

I never imagined that a dairy barn could make for such a magical wedding location. My friend held her ceremony in the barn and it was beautiful: the quaint church pews, the view of the prairie through the open barn doors, the simple but elegant decorations all made for such a beautiful evening. I would definitely recommend this venue!

I attended a wedding here in late Spring and it was absolutely beautiful. The \"country chic\" is so popular now, and this is a perfect place! I would recommend this place to anyone who wanted an outdoor venue for their wedding!

Attended a wedding here that was like something out of a movie! Charming outdoor reception dinner with seating at gorgeous farm tables and amazing views of the grounds and surrounding meadows. The ceremony took place inside the authentic dairy barn which has been transformed into a stunning and dreamlike atmosphere. Enjoyed every minute of the evening!

I married my beautiful bride here! We were married June 25th, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for the happiest day of our lives. The groom's cottage was an incredible amenity that allowed my groomsmen and I to be comfortable and entertained during the longest wait of my life. :) The reception under the central Texas stars couldn't have been in a better setting, and our getaway through the mature pecan trees was dreamlike. We are so grateful for The Grand Texana and the amazing Anne and Amber for helping coordinate our day!

There is one spot that is just incredible for hair and makeup in the house - and its set up for it!We chose to have our wedding in the barn and it was absolutely gorgeous. Anne let us decorate how we wanted and our outdoor reception was even more beautiful than I had hoped it would be.Our wedding had NO issues and was incredible. I am so glad we chose this place to get married!

I attended an incredible wedding at this venue and was blown away by the gorgeous grounds and fabulous barn. I had a chance to see the bride's cottage and it was a whole house just for the girls! The decor was whimsical and charming. If I could get married again, I would do it in that incredible pecan orchard!
