Hera’s Haven was nothing short of incredible. From the moment when we first toured the venue 13 months ago to our wedding day this past Sunday, Lauren was absolutely amazing to wor...
k with. She kept in constant communication with me over any questions and concerns that I had. She even went above and beyond on my wedding day itself. We unfortunately had storms rolling in that day and she made sure we had a contingency plan (which was much needed) and was so hands on the day of. My day was nothing short of a dream come true and Lauren and her team were a huge part of that success. She made sure that we ate and brought food to our table so we wouldn’t have to stand in line and potentially ruin our gown/tux. She helped keep our timeline on track when we got caught up talking with our guests. My husband and I have nothing but the kindest of things to say about Lauren and Hera’s. This is the place where magic happens. The atmosphere, the murals, the bridal cottage, and the grooms cabin all illustrate just how beautiful this venue really is. She even has a closet of decor that you can borrow from (you just have to make a list prior to the day of) so you don’t have to spend a lot on decorations.
Hera’s Haven is 10/10.
Lauren and her team 11/10.
Do not sleep on this spectacular venue and this remarkable team. Our love goes out to this place and we can’t thank them enough for the lengths they went through for us to have our special day.

quality throughout the venue is exceptional — from the décor and design elements to the atmosphere itself, everything feels elevated, intentional, and beautifully unique.

Her heart for her couples truly shines through, always making sure every detail is handled with care and every moment feels special.

If you are looking for a beautiful hidden gem with top-quality details, meaningful touches, and a team that truly cares, I highly recommend Heras Haven.
I had the pleasure of DJing at this venue recently, and I was absolutely blown away. It’s such a beautiful space with plenty of room outdoors for guests to mingle, paired with a br...
ight and open reception hall that feels inviting from the moment you walk in. The whole place gives off this wonderful feeling, almost like you’re welcoming everyone into your private haven. Ha, hence the name Hera’s Haven! I just got that 😆, it truly lives up to its name!
Lauren, the venue owner and coordinator, was truly incredible to work with. After meeting her for the first time, I remember telling my couple how lucky they were to have her on their team. You can tell that for her, every event is personal. She genuinely cares about making sure every detail comes together seamlessly. Thanks to her, the entire day flowed perfectly, and I can confidently say my couples felt the same way I did.
If you’re searching for a wedding or corporate event venue that’s nothing short of phenomenal, you have to check this place out.
Hera's is truly a beautiful hidden gem! After our first tour of the venue, our love for it grew more and more each time we looked back at pictures/videos or revisited the venue to ...
show off to our families. Lauren Haby was a saint throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was very easy to work with, and we always felt like she had genuine intent to make our day as perfect as possible. While the exact venue location is in a more rural area, my now husband and I, our wedding party, and majority of our guests were able to find lovely AirBnBs or hotels in Waxahachie to stay at over the weekend with only an easy and short drive to the venue. To rave about Lauren again - she worked her magic and helped make sure everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding. We cannot thank her and her uncle enough!!! If you're searching for an elegant, country, peaceful, beautiful wedding venue, we highly recommend Hera's Haven! We will forever hold Hera's near and dear to our hearts and cherish it for being the starting place of our marriage. - Love, the Jureckys

Lauren was very helpful with every step of the way, she helped us coordinate things, which helped bring it all together, always letting me know the next thing in line before & after I walked down the aisle. I am very satisfied with how everything turned out, we had the venue for the whole day so it definitely helped with having enough time to decorate everything, the value was very reasonable. And we would like to say after working with Lauren and Rafel they feel close like family to us! I’m so happy we picked our venue to be Hera’s Haven! ❤️

Where do I start? 5 stars is not nearly enough for this beautiful venue and the amazing team that goes with it! Hera’s Haven was the 2nd venue I looked at and I immediately cancell...
ed all the others I had after and brought my now husband back to look at it. I knew as soon as I saw it and spoke with the owners that this was the place I wanted to have our wedding. The venue offers so many beautiful places not only to have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, but any other event would be breathtaking at this beautiful location.
Lauren is an absolute gem and truly goes above and beyond to make sure your day goes absolutely perfect. As a little girl, I’ve always dreamed about this day.. and can without a doubt say that it surpassed everything I could have ever imagined and that is in great part due to Lauren and her ideas and input. She answered any and all questions I had and if she didn’t know, she found out and followed up quickly. The attention to detail and kindness she provided to me, my now husband, and our family on our wedding day is a true testament of her passion for making your day as special as possible.
Even after our wedding has come and gone, the team at Hera’s feels like a family. I will cherish our big day forever and I cannot recommend this venue enough.
Thank you Refel, Lauren & entire team at Hera’s Haven!!
We fell in love with this venue when we toured it! The scenery is gorgeous, we even had our engagement photos taken here. It’s tucked away on a beautiful working ranch. I love love...
loved the arches, the huge glass windows, and the stained glass throughout. I also loved that the venue can match with a variety of different aesthetics. It is very spacious yet intimate & cozy at the same time. The bridal suit is so pretty, the perfect room to get ready in with your girls on the big day!! Not to mention the outstanding customer service we received. The staff was so helpful and answered all of our questions. They are quick to respond and helped us envision what our day would look like. The owners took the time to meet with us and were so kind. Highly recommended you give this venue a tour, you will not regret it!
