Hoffman Haus

My fiance and I were scheduled to get married at Hoffman Haus on April 4, 2020. As I'm sure every woman can relate, this is one of the most important days of our lives, a day that we've looked forward to for a long time. We were planning a wedding weekend - April 3rd Welcome Dinner catered by Saltlick with the Texas Unlimited Country Band and April 4th Wedding (romantic and ethereal). We reserved the entire property for the weekend – our guests had reserved all of the rooms at Hoffman. Throughout the wedding planning process, Shonda and her Hoffman Haus team were so helpful - allowing us to visit the venue multiple times to ensure everything was organized perfectly. Shonda graciously offered solutions and ideas when we needed furniture, lighting, draping, chairs, or a tent that fit our specific wedding vision. As a type A personality myself, Shonda patiently answered all of our questions and was there to make sure we had what we needed to have our dream wedding. When the Federal recommendations and State regulations restricted the size of in-person gatherings due to the COVID-19 epidemic, our April 3-4 wedding at Hoffman Haus was rendered infeasible. Flights were cancelled, gatherings of 10 or more people discouraged via CDC quarantine rules and subsequently banned by state and local laws. An unforeseen disaster for us, our guests, and our vendors. Aaron and I are unable to reschedule at this time as too many things are unknown at the moment - these regulations could remain in effect for a long time. Months and years, not weeks. We're left scrambling to deal with vendors who can no longer perform their services in addition dealing with the heightened anxiety of this pandemic and the emotional loss of having our wedding abruptly and forcibly cancelled beyond our control. We immediately called HH. As a family owned business, they understood what we were going through and that this unfortunate situation was outside of our control. They released us from our obligation to rent all of the rooms, and converted our deposit into a giftcard for a future visit to their venue. They waived our event fee as well. I tear up just writing this, as their actions were conducted with such honor and benevolence. Shonda told us - We are a family owned business and that is not how we conduct ourselves here (referring to requiring us to pay the full event fee and unreserved rooms). Hoffman Haus and all B&B and hotel chains are going to suffer tremendously as a result of COVID-19. How businesses treat customers during this crisis will create a ripple effect for years to come. Aaron and I will go to Hoffman Haus as soon as we are legally allowed for our future anniversaries and weekend getaways, and we will share this story with everyone we know. Hoffman Haus is an amazing bed and breakfast run by people who conduct themselves with utmost integrity and honor, even under the most dire of circumstances - please support them.

We had the most beautiful wedding on the planet. If you want to try and win that honor, you'd best start by booking the Hoffman Haus.

I booked Hoffman Haus for my wedding and absolutely loved the venue. Its a gorgeous place for a smaller wedding (we had 80 people). I loved that most of our guests could stay on the property and the ones that didn't were a quick walk away. We had our ceremony in the garden and our reception inside the great hall. Everything looked beautiful. We hired Shonda, from the venue, as our day of planner and she was amazing. It ended up being 50 degrees on our wedding day...in April! She did an amazing job of accommodating the unexpected weather by putting blankets out for our ceremony and space heaters for our cocktail hour. She even found us a babysitter to sit at our kid's table so their parents could relax! The venue also makes everything very easy with outside vendors. You can use your own catering company and provide your own alcohol which was great. We saved a ton of money on the bar by doing that. I highly recommend Hoffman Haus and everyone who works there. They made our big day a dream!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Hoffman Haus! I was drawn to this venue because you rent out the entire property for the weekend. So it really feel like a party all weekend with all of our favorite people! We had our rehearsal dinner there Friday night and it was a comfortable casual atmosphere. SaturdayAnnabelle took care of everything and I was pretty stress free. We stayed in the Weber cabin and it was perfect for pictures and for getting ready. The guys got ready in the Basse Haus and we got married in their beautiful garden. The guests were so complimentary of the service provided by the staff and the breakfast delivered every morning was different and amazing every day. It was reasonably priced for our 80 person wedding and we couldn't have dreamt of anything better!!

I stayed at the Basse house while getting ready. We took family pictures there (we used Kairos as our venue). My only complaint was that the beds in that specific house were as hard as a rock! My parents loved it, but I didn't- personal preference. Most of my bridal party stayed at Hoffman and their beds were great. But I wouldn't let the bed situation be a deterrent; the breakfast is wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the place is very clean. But you do need to bring your own paper towels! That is the only thing (other than trashbags) that was missing in the full kitchen.
