Hidden Falls by Walters Wedding Estates

od tastings, tours, emails, and more, the Hidden Falls staff was extremely helpful and easy to work with. We booked Remi’s Ridge for the venue, and also booked every single casita, house, and lodge for our entire wedding party. Every aspect was smooth because the staff was so friendly and helpful. Our coordinator, Morgan M., blew us away with how great of a job she did. We weren’t sure what to expect, but any expectations we had were far exceeded by her professionalism, her outgoing personality, attention to detail, and ability to organize chaos. We met with her a month or so before the wedding day to iron out final details and she was not only organized, but extremely helpful in offering suggestions and putting us at ease. She answered any and all questions we had and gave us pro-tips for preparation. She basically lifted all weights off of our shoulders and allowed us to feel relaxed before the wedding. When the big day came, it seemed as though she had superpowers because it felt like she was in five places at once, organizing vendors, guests, and keeping everything on schedule. Not only was she working extremely hard, to us it felt like Morgan was a guest of honor who enjoyed our big day as much as we did. We didn’t hire a coordinator, but if Morgan would have been available for hire we would have taken that opportunity without a doubt. Any couple that gets to work with Morgan in the future should know that they’re in the best hands and are truly blessed to have her in charge. You only have one shot at making your wedding day absolute perfection, and Morgan did exactly that for us. - Annat & Weslyn W.

ittany and Emily were beyond helpful and very friendly. We planned our wedding from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and Brittany was there to answer any of our questions any time of the day via email, text, and phone calls in a timely manner. Both girls made our night stress free! I would not change a single thing about my wedding and I can’t thank Brittany and Emily enough for all that they did for my husband and I!!

t had us fall in love! The trees and scenery around the venue is absolutely beautiful! The staff at Hidden Falls was so extremely helping while we were planning a wedding from another state. They made planning every little detail so easy and accessible and we couldn’t have imagined planning a wedding without them! We highly recommend choosing Walters Wedding Estates as your venue because not only will you receive a personal day of coordinator but the easiest, affordable and most beautiful wedding you could ever imagine!

if you want certain things because they add up but the beauty of this venue was worth it for me. I would definitely recommend getting married here.

into a bridezilla :) ) My husband and I would recommend Abigail and her team to anyone!

mely manner and for making sure our wedding day ran smoothly!

our day of coordinator, was there and very prepared. It was a large wedding party, and she got them organized and running very effectively. There were some last minute changes needed for wedding next day (moving table, adding table, etc.) and she handled it expertly. The Wedding Party was staying on-site at The Treehouse for the weekend. It worked perfectly as the venue for the rehearsal dinner. There is a large room, capable of holding 50+, along with tables and chairs stored, to utilize for the event. Very convenient and well stocked! It provided a home base for the weekend and a place to coordinate decorations, etc., prior to the venue opening. The day of wedding, Morgan met us at the facility around noon to help us start decorating and resolve any concerns. (Chandler was joining us around 3:00 pm as she was closing out the night and working the wedding and reception.). Morgan helped set up a surprise for the bride and groom (thank you!) and was very helpful with the wedding party decorating and setting up. This was a pretty large wedding, with approximately 225 guests. Chandler took over coordinating the night events. She worked tirelessly the whole night, allowing my husband and I to relax and enjoy the evening. She ensured the schedule was kept, the wedding party lined up timely, worked closely with the DJ and ensured the buffet dinner went smoothly. She kept me apprised of everything and provided for a smooth flow to the event. After the event, she helped us clean up and clear the venue. I can't thank Chandler and Morgan enough! They were extremely professional, but also open to ideas and enthusiastic about making the day special for the bride and groom! Thank you for a beautiful wedding and working so hard behind the scenes to pull it off! A couple of notes on lessons learned for other future wedding parties: 1. The place is beautiful - you don't need to overspend on tons of flowers - the venue, greenery and waterfalls are a great backdrop and don't require much more adornment. 2. The place is far for last minute things forgotten! The Treehouse was great to rent the night before as it allowed us to ensure we had everything prior to the big day. 3. Gifts - I "hired" one of our friend's teenager to watch the gift table during the actual wedding and early part of the evening before everyone was inside. Saved a lot of worry and concern, and ensured no issues! Thanks for a great event! You made the day very special... and, the pictures are amazing!

the coordinator we were previously working with stopped working at that venue, so when our details got relayed to the new coordinator there was a lot of information missing. I would one million percent recommend the venue just because it’s absolutely beautiful and you’ll fall in love! But for $15,000 I definitely expected sooooooo much more.

oarder and the fajitas were so good! The venue: the outdoor area is beautiful for a wedding or any occasion! And the reception area is perfect for any size of wedding your heart desires! Thankyou hidden falls for making our wedding day everything we could ever ask for! If you need a beautiful hill country wedding venue, book now!

letely different. I was constantly having to reach out to them and they were never helpful. Through out the process there was a bunch of hidden fees that they didn’t mention when booking. We paid for a full open bar yet the bartender would barely put any alcohol in the drinks. They were also very strict on all of their rules!

there, even on weekdays. When we initially signed our contract, we were so excited and Abigail really did a great job answering all of our questions. However, if you book here make sure you don't get assigned Morgan as your wedding day coordinator. I really feel she should not be in the wedding business. She was rude and unpleasant to be around and just generally seemed like being there was the last thing she wanted to be doing. Also, I did not appreciate her giving my mother attitude when she asked if the tables be slightly moved a part when they were very visibly too close together. Morgan's response was, "I'm not worried about it" and only when my mom became upset did she change her attitude and actually help. I recommend the venu, however just ask for someone else to be your coordinator other than Morgan.

Our day of helped, Megan was the ABSOLUTE BEST! she embodied everything I needed and wanted in a day of Coordinator. Calm, collected, supportive of me as the bride, and was on top of everything! She did an incredible job. I know the plan was for the venue to assign her a helper as we had a pretty big crowd. She nailed it but I’m sure she would have appreciated having more hands on deck. We had family and friends stay on property in the casitas and the day off communication for access was a little slow. The catering company they have was not exceptional in my eyes. The food was decent but the communication with them and the florist, and the lack of urgency in cleaning up was not that great. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and a STUNNING location!

that is out of town and not within driving distance. It is very difficult to schedule anything with them that doesn't fit their schedule. Before you sign, the company will go above and beyond to make sure you book with them. They even let me stop by to see the venue when they had a wedding later on in the day. But once you do, that catering is over. My family and I live over 2 hours away and only have days off during the week here and there. So trying to visit the venue for any reason during the planning process is difficult and the employees didn't make it any easier. There were multiple times my in laws wanted to see the onsite lodging to plan for the rehearsal dinner, but the venue never had anything open. When it got closer to the wedding date, they didn't really work with me to schedule my details meeting on the day I needed even though I had told them months before. My mom had to get upset with them just for them to work with us on the day we needed. Overall, our wedding turned out amazing and it was beautiful, but I would just keep in mind that they will not really work around your schedule even though you are spending thousands of dollars at their location.

lls as our venue.

sible second to make a decision, and we were able to get married in front of the falls. They reached out to me multiple times to make sure I had what I needed and we were ready for the big day! The venue is seriously incredible and all in 1 dream! My whole wedding party was able to stay on site with the house rentals they have available, and that made the weekend so easy! Their bridal suite is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, with the light colors and multiple areas to do hair and makeup, I'm secretly trying to get my husband to make me a closet like it! The reception hall is incredible and the perfect balance between barn-feel/modern! They were able to create the best set up for what I had pictured in my mind! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here, because it won't disappoint.

ellent service provided.

charge you for every little thing. But other than that, the staff was great and our wedding night was perfect!!

er wedding day.

e entrance of the venue and the ceremony was outside. What the bride and groom didn’t realize was that some of their gift was stolen and some of guest personal identity was stolen. There was no way that any of the guest who were personally invited would be that malicious or deceitful to steal. Hundreds of dollars were stolen and I believe the venue should be accountable. The venue has surveillance however what a surprise that they don’t work. The venue has failed to share these uneventful incidents with their potential customers. I find the venue suspicious and would be surprised if it’s an inside job. It is depressing to see all newlyweds experience this type of loss and disappointment at this venue. Theses theft incident has happened many times. Protect your belongings if you have a wedding at this venue. If your gift were stolen at this venue, please contact the Spring Branch Sherriff department and file a police Report. Don’t let this happen to the next person.

before, Kalyn, our day of coordinator, made sure all the seats and walk way were clean and dry and made our special day run so smoothly. She was so helpful and kind through the whole process and I can’t thank her enough! This venue has so much natural beauty and the reception hall is stunning. Milestone catering that is partnered with this venue was fabulous as well. So many delicious options. We got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was. You can’t go wrong with this one of a kind venue. Love, love, love this place and 10/10 recommend!

one way glass in the bridal suite, the family room where guests could get away, and the beautiful waterfalls out back. Our day of coordinator, Kalyn, was wonderful! We had no wedding coordinator so her direction helped a ton!

hing run so smoothly. I planned my wedding from Midland, TX so communication through emails, texts and phone calls were crucial to the success of the big day and I appreciated the staffs flexibility and prompt responses. This was was the first venue I had looked at after getting engaged and I was truly taken back with how beautiful it was in person. I continued my search all around TX and looked at a total of 13 venues, but my mind kept coming back to Remi’s Ridge. It was easy to see that no other venue I had seen compared to it and my heart was set on having this place for making my dream wedding a reality. We rented the casitas the night before and night of the wedding along with the treehouse for the rehearsal dinner as well, and all my guests that stayed there had nothing but great things to say about the cleanliness, ammenties and convienance of staying on location. The only recommendation I have is that you have some type of lapel mic for the ceremony so guests can hear you if you choose to get married in front of the gorgeous waterfalls. Our DJ was happy to bring some and guests got to enjoy the relaxing sound of the waterfalls but still hear what was going on. My wedding was a perfect a night I will never forget and that is all thanks to the amazing team and staff at Hidden Falls. If you’re debating what venue to choose look no further, THIS IS IT. It books up quickly for a reason.

ring, bar, set up, rentals, etc. I cannot speak enough to the ease of everything which is so important for a bride. Our day of coordinator, Morgan, was incredible and helped with anything and everything the day of, making sure all plans were in place. We have had the best compliments after the wedding about how beautiful the venue was and how great the staff was. Cannot recommend Hayes Hollow enough!

process run smoothly and everything was just so perfect! The staff are all so sweet and extremely professional. We couldn't have been any happier with our experience!

this is a long story.) Hayes Hollow staff were not accommodating as they did not do much to look into the issue and they DO NOT have security cameras in their front foyer, which is surprising given that it is a heavily trafficked area and the venue is so nice. It was definitely disappointing to not even receive reassurance from the venue that they would install cameras in light of this. All in all, we were pleased with Hayes Hollow, but might think twice before making such a big investment.

her.

the moment we met her, we were so happy she was going to coordinate our wedding. She preformed amazing on the big day & helped keep me calm!! We also dealt with Abigail and she was just as amazing. She was there the morning of wedding day & was doing all she could to make sure the day was going to go as planned. It rained all morning on the day of the wedding and they had the venue set up for my ceremony inside and out (very prepared). They went over the top to accommodate! The rain stopped just in time for the ceremony and instantly, they tore all the chairs down inside and then set up inside & prepared it for the reception in a flash. I could go on and on about how happy we are with the experience at Hidden Falls. All my guests loved the venue and thought it was beautiful. Thank you everyone at Hidden Falls for everything!!!

s rehearsal through the ceremony and reception on Saturday. Abigail, you were the BEST throughout the whole process, along everyone else who came alongside when needed! Thanks for keeping us informed, up-to-date, organized, and being that voice of assurance when needed from time to time. We give Hidden Falls our highest recommendation!

time. Our day ran smoothly because of Kalyn. I definitely recommend Hidden Falls and their staff.

ountry!

nitially had out hearts set on a different venue. The waterfalls are STUNNING - seriously regardless which venue you choose they're perfect! Hayes Hollow's reception hall had us sold - it was everything we were looking for and more. Everyone we worked with throughout the process was kind and made us feel like we were the only wedding on their minds. As an event coordinator, I appreciated that more than they'll ever know. I asked what seemed to be a million questions and they were always on top of their emails and I received responses promptly. They let you visit the venue as many times as you what which was huge for my planner brain. I was nervous about getting married 4 hours from where I live now, but have always dreamed of getting married in the hill country where I grew up and these girls made it a breeze! When we were assigned Kalyn for the day of our wedding and we could not have been more ecstatic - she helped make our day an absolute dream! The entire staff was fabulous and accommodating the day of the wedding. The venue was absolutely breathtaking - inside and outside! I seriously could go on and on about how great their team was to work with and how beautiful the venue was. One thing I know for sure is that if i could do it all over again I would choose Hayes Hollow EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. They made our day absolute perfection - I will always recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding venue.

because that tidbit about a wedding wasn't even something we had thought of; They have it 100% covered, every tiny detail, and they're looking out for the bride and groom to make sure the day is perfect. The one thing I remember vividly is getting to the sweetheart table at the reception, after having taken pictures, then getting ready to enter, then having the first dance... and just wanting a drink! And there one was, my exact signature drink, waiting at my seat. They're like wedding ninjas! I was so grateful!

ut of time or forget anything. On a day when time goes by so quickly and you’re just enjoying the day, it’s wonderful to have a coordinator there to keep things running smoothly. It was perfect that a day-of coordinator was included in the venue rental price. Their catering company, Milestone, had some great food and it was nice to be able to plan that all out through the venue. The venue is gorgeous and all the pictures from the wedding turned out beautiful!

s. When you are choosing to give a company upwards of $15,000 of your hard earned money to have your wedding, on a Thursday mind you, one would think they would at least try to make it seem like they cared at all about your vision. Not this place. Again, don't get married here. Don't let the beauty of the waterfalls trick you. Dont let the niceness of the staff fool you either. They will use that politeness in the future to let you down easy as they deny all of your requests.

nator, Jessica. She was simply amazing! I’m not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical about a venue coordinator’s duties and responsibilities and thought about hiring a day of coordinator, UNTIL we met her for our detailed meeting. She walked us through so much, was supportive and genuine, remained at our wedding from beginning to end, and made sure things ran smoothly as possible ( since our ceremony was rained out and had to be moved indoors)! The venue is beautiful and though it rained, the way the team assembled the indoor ceremony in such short notice was absolutely beautiful! Wouldn’t change our venue location even with the rain.

eatre we saw the venue in different unique ways we could use the space. So of course we wanted to do things very differently than their usual clients. For example: we used the stage as the spot for a sweetheart tablen which ws had professionally draped as a Tahitian tent and our 16 count head table in front of us. We had our DJ (my matron of honor) under the stairs in stead of their usual spot. It caused a little weirdness for them but they pused past it and it was perfect. I would not have had our wedding done any other way. The space was so beautiful. Every time we had a concern about anything, Lindsey always helped us and made sure we were on track. <3

always friendly and helpful, and usually pretty quick to respond. You will talk to a different person every time you contact them, so just know that going in, but they always make you feel like your wedding is the most important one, even though they have hundreds happening! They will assign a specific person to your wedding the month of, but our girl was sick come the day of, so I actually had a completely different person on our wedding day. I had hired my own seperate day of coordinator before-hand since the venue coordinators don't oversee decorations, so it was okay, but I would have been so stressed out without my own coordinator! Anyways, illness is completely understandable, and it still turned out to be an amazing day. Some of the cons come into their policies, which are mostly understandable, but still frustrating. Their premium bar selections include things like Shiner and Cupcake Moscato. Sorry, but those are not "premium" choices, and if you only want to do beer and wine like we did, they're the best they offer. You can pay a stocking fee and pay per case of nicer alcohol if you like (in addition to the normal price per head of premium drinks) but you can't take any leftovers with you (so, what happens to those?) nor can you bring in your own cases and hand it over to the bar. It also felt like a waste to spend that per head price if you bring in a lot of cases of the better choices. There were other little policy things too that were annoying, but we dealt with them. Despite those frustrations, we couldn't have picked a more perfect location for our day. It fit our theme perfectly, and the few photos we've seen so far are absolutely breath-taking. The fact that tables, chairs, and a lot of decoration elements are also included in your rental fee is definitely a huge help as well! If you like the aesthetic, you will absolutely have a gorgeous day!

s and family on how gorgeous the place is. This is the best place to get married in the hill country. Once you visit this place you will fall in love with the venue. :)

et. I just wish communication was maybe a little bit better. Every single time I called the venue I was always speaking with someone different than I had the last time, and a lot of the time some of them didn't even know who I was when I was calling or just didn't have any idea what I was calling them about. That got a little frustrating sometimes. However, as I said, all the ladies there are very sweet and everything always got handled regardless of communication issues. Also, I guess one of the vases we were borrowing from them cracked or broke slightly at the top and so we were charged for a new vase, which is fine, but my mother took care of it and told me the price of that vase was totally ridiculous and didn't even want to tell me how much they charged her for it because she didn't want to stress me out...oh well. All in all, we loved it here and it is a fabulous venue. They are just under new management so they have some minor issues to work out, but nothing major. I would still recommend this venue to everyone. Our day was perfect!

autiful!

o my wedding, resulting in me having to pay for their mistakes. I would ask multiple people there the same question and literally every person would give me a different answer. It was a huge headache and when my now husband and I brought to their attention how we were unhappy about how things were going, they never once took responsibility. Unsure if it really was the change in management that made everyone clueless to what was going on there, but I can only assume that has something to do with it. Either way, mistakes happen and sometime people misspeak, but they should have honored what they told us originally to make things right. Also, mistakes should not happen as often as they did with this business. Finally, the wedding day came and they started my cocktail hour bar time late. It was in my contract to start at 5:30. My mother and mother in law asked different workers why they weren’t opening. One worker told my mom it wasn’t opening until 5:45. Another told my mother in law it wasn’t starting until 6. Once again...nobody knew what the heck they were doing. When my mom called the venue after the wedding to ask what happened, they completely denied that they started it late, once again neglecting to take responsibility. However, I know if we had gone even 5 minutes in our time they would have been ready to charge us for those 5 minutes. If you choose to look past these issues because of the way the venue looks, then all I can recommend is to get everything they tell you in writing, no matter how small it may be. Because unless you can physically show them their own words, then you will be dealing with the same stresses I did...and even then who knows if they would care.

when Hidden Falls was under different management and was The Lodge at Bridal Veil Falls. Much like Jessica G's review, I was relieved when the venue said they would honor our existing contract. I agree that management prior to the new owners was wonderful! Everyone was organized and so helpful. After the lodge got bought out, I was communicating with almost a different person every time I would call or email. Still, I was excited to be getting married and planning my wedding. I didn't want to let the little things effect me. Things got increasingly worse. Some of my previous payments weren't being reflected in my balance. I had to send receipts and wait for an extended period of time before receiving the answer that I already had. A couple months before the wedding, I was contacted by a coordinator about how security fees had increased. This was something from my contract that I believed would be honored. They did agree to "meet me in the middle" and gave me one of the 8 hours for free. I paid what I needed to and moved on. Five days before my wedding, I was contacted by a coordinator about my bartender. According to them, the bartender hadn't renewed their insurance and I was told if they didn't renew, they couldn't serve at our wedding. I immediately called the bartender and left an ugly voicemail for them; my first bridezilla moment throughout my entire wedding planning process. According to bartender, the venue was asking them to add the venue as an added insurer to their policy. The details behind this are irrelevant. The bartender did what they needed to do to take care of me. What I do know is that I never should have been contacted about this. I was sick to my stomach about having to find a bartender at the last minute. A bartender that we selected because they were on the venue's preferred list! If the venue had been contacting them for months and it was urgent, why was I notified 5 days before my wedding and not sooner? The final straw with this terrible management was when SEVENTY FIVE centerpiece vases were taken without my consent the day of our wedding. We had arranged, in our contract with our florist, to breakdown and return ourselves. Trust me, I now realize and recommend to any brides-to-be, pay for the florist to do this themselves! At some point, toward the end of our reception, someone came and picked up all of our centerpiece vases. It was not our florist. After multiple attempts, meetings and hours of calling various florists in the area, I exhausted every possible option at finding these vases, and the venue was no help at all. Although they did offer to help me, every single thing I asked them for, they were unable to help me with. According to them, they even got a call from the person who took the vases only to not collect any information from them. The vases are still out there somewhere and I won't ever know who took them. I can speak for days about how much potential this venue had and how much the management let me and my husband down. It's unfortunate that I will forever associate such bad memories with the best day of my life. This place has a management problem and is in need of a fix. Hopefully my situation has helped them learn from their mistakes.

ous managers were great, organized, and helpful. One thing I didn't like about their employees were that every time I needed to talk to someone at the venue, it was a new person. Every email I got was from a different person working there. I would have liked to have one or two people that are designated to individual weddings to keep things more organized and personal. Overall, the place is beautiful. One piece of advice I would give to brides looking for a venue is, do not choose a place solely on their outside beauty. If you have any luck like me, there will be thunderstorm warnings, hail warnings, and tornado warnings on your wedding day...

they have on site, that way people don't have to drive all the way home if they had one drink too many. The team was great and helpful.

our drink order, helping bridesmaids with stains, helping me tie my shoes, getting everyone in the right spot.. you name it! She made a detailed timeline for me as well. So many of our guests raved about how Kortney was so polite and the best coordinator they had ever seen. We are just so blown away by her kindness and thoughtfulness.

d with were extremely helpful and extremely kind. Since day one all of my questions were answered and believe me, I had a lot of questions. Krista was our day of coordinator. She was very helpful. There were so many things that had slipped my mind, but she made sure to go over them during our meeting. I do not know what I would have done without her. She took care of everything and I was able to just enjoy the day. I do not have any complaints and would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.

ping with advise and things that she really didn't have to do but still took the time to. Kali was such a great coordinator for the day of the wedding. I wouldn't change a thing :) I highly recommend this place and also recommend doing the cabins the night before it's so much fun. Thank you

about how beautiful the venue was!! We had the most wonderful day. We highly recommend this venue for any couple for any size wedding. Thank you for making our wedding so enjoyable and everything we hoped for. Mary Anne & Stephen

angle.

we realized we didn't have cake plates and she sent someone out to get them immediately. I had NO idea any of this was going on at the time and my mother gave me a run down of everything the next day. Apparently many crisis situations were averted with Krista on our side. All in all, we still get tons of compliments from our guests about how they have never seen a more beautiful venue.

though they have so many weddings during the year, they made me feel like mine was the only one that mattered. And every bride should feel that way. The venue, itself, is exquisite. Just breathtakingly beautiful. Every person who attended complimented us on our decision to have the wedding there. I couldn't be happier and know I'll look back on our memories at The Lodge and always be as happy as when we said I Do!!

: thank you for all of your help in making my wedding amazing!

ith every decision and guided us to prepare for a spectacular wedding. They were patient, kind, and well prepared to assist us in planning the ceremony, as well as a backup plan in case of bad weather. The facilities are first class and assistance is even provided when trying to find appropriate vendors for the occasion. A WONDERFUL place to celebrate such a special day!!!

me as a coordinator. She was awesome!

as the BEST decision we could have ever made!! She truly handled everything in a professional manner and I did not worry one bit. We could relive this day all over again!

her time. The day of went wonderfully and everything was in place exactly as we asked! They worked really well with my coordinator (Audrey from Timeless Beginnings) and they had so many wonderful vendor recommendations for me. Their onsite caterer is SUCH a wonderful addition! We could not be more pleased with our decision to use BVF as our venue. I would highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone for any kind of event!

of everything. Brides suite, grooms suite, even a family suite for grandma and grandpa to hang out in before time to start.

y was allowed to walk around the bridal suite while I was getting ready. We were told the night before that we were not allowed in the venue to simply give the wedding party of that day privacy. And that the same rule did not apply for my wedding day killed me. Other then that the venue was lovely and it made for wonderful photos.
