I can not say enough good things about The Barn on the Brazos or the owners of this wonderful venue! We knew when we met Cathy and Curtis for the first time over a year ago, that this was the place for our special day. Not only are they extremely welcoming, but they have so much experience with all facets of your wedding day that they put your mind at ease. You are allowed to bring in your own vendors so you can make it unique to your wedding vision and they work so well with everyone you choose. They offer a wedding weekend option where you get the use of the property including the guesthouse with several bedrooms. Since most of our guests were from out of state, I am so thankful that we chose that option! And they have the most amazing supply room that has so many decorations from past weddings or items for the venue they have chosen , that you can use at no charge! It saved us so much money and we were able to pull things last minute to amp up our reception look too! When the pandemic hit, none of us knew what that meant for weddings or how much we would be affected. Our wedding was scheduled for Labor Day Weekend and once my fiancé and I decided to proceed with a lower guest count, I contacted Cathy to discuss everything and she offered such good advice. Despite all the changes we had to make to our original guest count to make things safe for everyone, the venue was the least of our worries. I THANK GOD that we chose The Barn on The Brazos! We were also excited that we got to take our engagement photos on the property and it gave our photographers the opportunity to see the layout of the venue ahead of time, and plan their shots. We chose an evening wedding so we could have a sunset backdrop for our ceremony. The day of the wedding it stormed a good part of the day, but I was only a little worried since there was a plan “B” Cathy and Curtis had discussed with us. Our saving grace? Curtis was in the venue closing stuff up to keep our decorations intact, blowing water out wherever necessary, drying the outside benches, and was on ant patrol all day long. Earlier that morning we still had to decorate our wedding arch and had limited time before hair and makeup was starting. I showed Cathy my flowers and the garland we were using, and she stepped right in to help secure them along with my MOH and the groom. She used that designer eye of hers to guide the placement and it turned out beautiful! We ultimately did get to get married outside under that arch at sunset just like we planned, and it was stunning! I don’t know what I would have done without Cathy and her special touches throughout our ceremony and reception, or Curtis shuttling us around and taking such good care of the place! Since I’m an animal lover( and had my fur baby in our ceremony), I can’t forget to mention the resident fur friends of the property either. Boots and Popeye! Popeye is a little shy but Boots loves to be in the action and was a welcome guest at our rehearsal dinner ( we held at the guest house), and for our wedding day. All of my guests had so many wonderful things to say about the beauty of the venue (evident by their amazing pics taken on their phones), the laid back nature of the place, the doggies, and most of all Cathy and Curtis. We love them! And lastly let me say this: if you are planning a barn wedding in Texas you need to look no further! Trust me: our wedding day was like a dream I’m still waking up from...
