Horseshoe Bay Resort

terruption or random people lurking nearby. Then we got to the resort, they showed us all the different venue spots they had to offer and we knew this was our venue. We picked the Horseshoe Bay Yacht Club Falls Point Lawn for our ceremony and the Yacht Club Shoreline Lawn for our reception. It was everything we had been looking for and more. Not only was it as intimate as we wanted, but we also didn't have any fear of random resort stayers walking into our wedding. It was also extremely convenient that the hotel was so close everyone in the wedding and attending was able to stay at the hotel before and after the wedding. While we live in Texas, our families had to travel to make the wedding. So everyone arrived two days before the wedding to catch up and prepare for our actual day. Everyone that worked at the hotel knew exactly who we were and made us feel so loved and taken care of. They went out of their way, not only for us the bride and groom, but each of our guests as well. We also did our food through the hotel as well, and it definitely exceeded everyone's expectations! All of the food arrived hot, cooked perfectly, and mouthwatering and delicious! All of our guests specifically went out of their way to praise the food. They had so many options to choose from and you couldn't go wrong with anything you picked.

the bridal suite was SO HOT, they didn’t have the AC turned on, they gave us a steamer to steam the bridesmaid dresses and filled it up way to high, someone ended up getting hurt the hot water from the machine went flying everywhere!!!!! The crows nest had to AC for them. Some of of guest didn’t receive their plate of food, which we paid for the set amount of people with the choice beef or chicken with a seating chart. Another big issues was we paid for an open bar and we’re told that they were out of champagne. When I told Vilidian these issues she assumed we were lying about these situations, very unprofessional. We also had a golf cart send off, which the golf cart was stolen at the end of the night it was a mess. Loved the venue, but the management is AWFUL. They also sent strawberries and wine for us the wedding couple to the incorrect room!

nd made that extremely clear. I was so excited to have my wedding at one of the most beautiful resorts in Texas! But almost immediately after signing our contract, we noticed a change in the way they treated us. Rachel (who is no longer there) was in charge of doing our contract and basically lied about everything we were able to do, and when we got switched over to Shelly (who is also no longer there) we were extremely disappointed. They completely ignored us until MAYBE a month out from the wedding. Then about a week out from the wedding, they DOUBLE BOOKED multiple villas of ours that we booked a year+ in advance and went around asking people not to come that weekend in order for us to get a place to stay for our WEDDING. On the wedding day, Shelly who was suppose to be there helping and making sure we had everything, was not to be found. No one could get a hold of her, not even her own workers. My wedding planner was astounded at how poorly we were treated. The ONLY time we ended up seeing Shelly that night was when she was touring another couple around our wedding!! They didn’t serve passed wine at dinner, AND THEY CLOSED OUR BAR 45 MINS EARLY! We paid for these services and it was very embarrassing for us in front of our guests. On top of all that, when we were checking out at the end of the weekend, we walked into our room after breakfast to find the maids in there with my wedding dress on the cart along with our entire card box filled with thousands of dollars from the night before. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND HSBR TO ANYONE EVER AGAIN!! They made our wedding process the most stressful situation ever, and robbed us of not only thousands of dollars of items they did not deliver on our wedding day, but of what could have been our most perfect day. If I did not have my wedding planner and her staff, our wedding most likely would not have happened and I am externally grateful for them! PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, AND DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! It is a breathtaking venue, but they do not care about you after they have received the tens of thousands of dollars you pay. Very expensive place, for almost nothing in return!! I will continue to urge every person who attended my wedding to write a review on their experiences as well, since many were unhappy with their stays as well. 😤😢

of COVID giving us a reduced rate. We agreed however they charged our credit card for the full amount and will not issue credit. They provided no services that we asked for. Our wedding party and guests lost their rooms due to a power outage and they could not accommodate rooms they offered no support. Terrible service. They appear to be struggling financially!

SB is one of the few venues in Texas that gives you a unique experience. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was exceptional. If you are looking for a place where you can make a weekend party out of your wedding, HSB is the place! The food was great, service was great, drinks were awesome. HSB was super accommodating when we had to change the date to September from May. We are so impressed with how they responded to the pandemic. Shelley was a joy to work with. A couple of tips: make sure you get all specific decisions or details in writing. Book a suite for the girls to get ready in instead of the bridal suite. Communicate, communicate, communicate! You will love having your day at Horseshoe Bay. There are several "venues" on site to choose from and they have selections that can accommodate any size. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Thank you, HSB!

dinner for 14 at the Yacht Club and the staff were so accommodating and took very good care of us the entire night! Lauren S. was a huge help leading up to the big day planning out every detail. She answered all of my questions completely and promptly! The rooms were also very nice and everyone enjoyed staying there. Overall, we are very happy with our stay there and would recommend using them as your wedding venue!

brides and families. An absolute pleasure to work with.

it would be worth it. Honestly, it was. Every member of staff that we met went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted it to be. Christy Monroe was my event coordinator and I cannot say enough positive things about her. I was planning my wedding long distance and she just helped me bring to life ideas that I couldn't even fully articulate. After our reception we were able to meet up with guests at the 360 Club, which was so much fun! Even though the staff at the club had not worked our event, they knew who we were and congratulated us! The next morning we had brunch at the Lantana Grill, which was great because even the few people who stayed elsewhere were able to come dine with us. I know that our family with small children really appreciated the on-site kids activity center (it has a ROCKWALL) and the friendly parrot. Our single friends enjoyed the yacht club pool and accompanying bar! On top of that, the scenery is everything you could want in your wedding photos. Everyone at our reception kept telling us it was the best one they had ever been to. People are still asking me about the mashed potatoes (I never thought I would like tomato mashed potatoes and I ate them all!). 100% recommend!

cation myself and all other vendors, securing a safe garage for my clients 1920's model T, and so much more! As a vendor, having their team go above and beyond to make my job easier is so refreshing. On this day we had so many things go off course, including an unexpected call to 911 for a flower girl, and still the wedding started on time, every detail was perfect, the service from the entire staff was top notch, the spicy margaritas were a hit, the food was off the charts and the bride cried after a perfectly executed surprise fireworks show. We love bringing our clients to HSBR because we know they will have an unforgettable experience! We can't wait to work with these ladies again.

ndscaping and gorgeous palm trees. The hotel rooms are all recently updated and super chic + boutiquey. They have resort-style pools and amenities, which are perfect for your guests to enjoy all weekend long and make lasting memories. I highly, HIGHLY recommend you choose HSB for your destination wedding. Their staff, holler at Jessica!, is overly helpful and accomodating. 100% yes people and always looking to serve. Trust me, you need to go meet with them and see the property for yourself!

e ideal together. We had the resort handle the food for the reception and it was outstanding! The absolute best wedding meal I have ever had, no exception. The staff at Horseshoe Bay Resort was excellent in every way and I highly recommend HBR!

ll together from the catering and venue side and went above and beyond in order to give my clients their dream wedding day. She was kind and patient, I felt that she truly cared for my clients and made sure that their needs and requests were heard by HSB. I never felt that she was annoyed or aggravated when we asked questions or made changes. She gave vendors extra time to set up, didn't bat an eye when we made special requests, she event stayed longer on the wedding day to ensure that the event went well. She was a pleasure to work with! HSB is a gorgeous venue and a special getaway from Austin and my clients were able to make a wedding weekend out of staying at the resort. The staff was so kind and helpful and on the day of the wedding, the catering service was flawless! I couldn't have anticipated a better flow for the day. Not to mention that the food is really really delicious! The wedding was a dream and the guests had an amazing weekend! Thank you!!!!

hey made our day PERFECT!! Our guest could not stop raving about the fact they felt like they were on vacation for our wedding. HSB helped me have my dream wedding in the most beautiful place!

d a great job of keeping us apprised of the situation and progress! The food was fantastic, which is a BIG WIN in our book! The vendors had an easy time working with the resort as well!

wedding day. Family and friends traveled from far and near to celebrate with us as we tied the knot. Horseshoe Bay Resort was the perfect destination. The resort amenities had something for everyone. Our wedding pictures were stunning on the Lily Lawn lakeside, prime rib dinner was arranged so elegantly on the Whitewater patio and we danced the night away to a local Austin band to top the evening off! Rachel our wedding coordinator did miss a beat. Her attention to detail was on point when pulling together our weekend celebration. The weather gave us a run for our money, but she had a backup plan for everything. Working with their team made planning an out of town wedding a breeze. Many thanks to Bryan and Rachel!

but knew all the Texas family and friends could not make it there, chose this location. This venue did not disappoint. The newly renovated Azalea Lawn, pre-cocktails and post-cocktails, Magnolia Lawn, ceremony, and Aster Lawn for cocktails and the walkway to the reception. The Lily Lawn was perfect for the reception! I credit Ryan Jones the Director of Food and Beverages for making it all happen so beautifully. Plus the food was outstanding! Guests that have been to more weddings than you can count, voted it the best food. When we had the tasting, the food was amazing! The chef and his staff are wonderful! To carry that quality for 165 guests is not an easy task. We served the filet and halibut with a few vegetarian. We had 4 events on the property. Our guests loved it as they could be shuttled everywhere. Food was great for all events. The bridesmaids luncheon was at the Slick Rock Grill. This is not a full service restaurant so we selected food items beforehand. The barbecue rehearsal dinner was great at the Whitewater Patio. The Sunday morning breakfast for about 140 was also at the Whitewater Patio so the guests were able to see the beautiful birds! My daughter had flowers sent from a farm on Maui. I recommend you still have a wedding planner even though Paige and Vildan are really nice as there is just too much to do. We could not have accomplished this without Sandra at Picture Perfect Events. When we had a hiccup with rooms, Bryan Woodward took care of it. Our guest were happy with their accommodations. We rented a 3 bedroom condo and the 13 bridesmaids and the bride did there hair, makeup and dressed there. The makeup and hair people were from Austin (as was the band). The condo was right by the Yacht Club. We had a wonderful wedding weekend blessed by God as it was raining on the morning of the wedding but it cleared up just in time! This is a beautiful newly renovated property. All of the renovations should be complete, always keep checking.

was absolutely incredible in helping with the planning process, and everything went extremely smoothly on the day-of because of her. Every single detail was just perfect. She was extremely accommodating, responsive to emails, and met all of our random requests (and wed had a TON of random requests...). Jessica also helped coordinate everything, and was extremely on top of it and detail oriented (even while on maternity leave -- that's dedication!) The venue is gorgeous, was recently renovated, and is full of fun activities for guests. The food, accommodations, ballroom, and ceremony location were excellent. My only piece of constructive feedback was that it was difficult for many guests to book their rooms. The booking process was confusing. Different front desk staff would pick up the phone and would be confused about our wedding discounted price and whether we had rooms available on our room block. Also -- online booking seemed to be cheaper in many instances than booking over the phone with our discounted price. I believe HSB is currently working on this. Overall, I was over the moon and SO glad I booked at Horseshoe Bay. It's a little pricey, but absolutely worth it. It was the best day of my life.

bers to match our wedding date without us even saying anything. We even came back here for our HONEYMOON. :) It was THAT amazing! Marble Falls is a quaint little town and the Resort is truly STUNNING. SO many things to do and being there in general is so peaceful. You will NOT regret having a wedding here. There was not one thing I worried about the entire time, the staff went ABOVE and BEYOND for us. The golf courses are perfection and truly something of beauty. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE. We cannot wait to go back.

n’t wait to renew our vows here.

band, myself and our families. Our wedding will always be remembered as something extraordinary.

service, but with how much compassion and honest concern they had that our wedding went well. We planned it in less than two months due to my mom having serious health issues, and we live in Seattle, so we had to make most of the plans long distance. From the first day we called and spoke with Vildan Ruiz, we had that kind of experience with her that the universe was conspiring to help everything work for us. She answered almost every time we called, and literally responded within 24 hours if she didn't answer. When we arrived we fell in love with the landscaping, the lake, the limestone circle at the beach for us to stand on during our ceremony, and the vast footprint of the resort that really creates the destination wedding feeling. When we entered the Whitewater Patio we felt like we had magically been transported out of Texas into a villa in Europe. Vildan showed us every other venue within the resort where we could have either the ceremony or the reception if weather didn't cooperate (they were great!), and she transported us around in a Navigator explaining the shuttle and golf carts options HBR offers all guests to efficiently get them between venues. We were treated like honored guests when we were there - they gave us bottled water and complimentary drinks, a tote with an extraordinary amount of information about planning the wedding and a thumb-drive with checklists and menus to help us plan. She even said she would work with the pastry chef on-site to use my mom's red-velvet cake recipe, and recommended a local florist called Cutting Edge that was amazing and also wonderful to work with, and she gave me many stylist referrals for hair and make-up. We knew that we had found the perfect place, and over the course of the next month and a half I spoke with Vildan personally several times a week and swapped emails as frequently. Her communication style made me feel at ease throughout the process, and when we arrived and met the rest of the staff we knew that they all valued excellent communication and amazing service. I did not need an additional wedding coordinator at all. So when the the saddest thing happened on Friday night - my sweet mom had a stroke in her room - I never even had to think about how HBR would react, I just knew they would handle it well. My mom's wit and charm were not affected by the stroke, so we were able to move our timeline up and get married in the hospital beside her bed, with her conscious of every minute. We didn't want my mom to think for a moment that she had affected our wedding day, so after we spent time with her at the end of our ceremony, we came back and had the full wedding we had planned at HB. We had to cancel the stylist, and as if she hadn't already done enough, Vildan graciously offered to do my hair, and it was beautiful. The dinner was amazing, and Vildan and the team did all of my decorating for me. My guests all raved about the dinner, and we felt so cared for by our banquet captain that my husband and I both hugged her simultaneously at the end. Everyone who attended was amazed by HBR, and I feel like it's a sacred place for me and my husband. We are already planning our anniversary (or sooner!) trip, and want to tell everyone how special HBR is. I STRONGLY recommend it from the bottom of my heart!

the rest of the HBR team go above and beyond to make sure their clients and vendors are happy. They will bend over backwards to meet your needs, AND do it with a smile on their face. I recommend HBR to all my clients looking for a beautiful place to get married where all their guests can stay on site. The food is out of this world delicious and the setting is unbeatable. We highly recommend HBR and would be happy to share more of our experiences with anyone considering it for their wedding venue. Crissalane Disch Events- Coordination, Floral and Lighting

in front of the lake at sunset. After the ceremony id was an easy flow to the magnificent ballroom for some great food and great music. I would recommend this resort to anyone to start off their marriage. I can't imagine finding a better place.

er was on the dining yacht which was so much fun! Guests are still talking about how different it was to be on a boat for the dinner. The ceremony was overlooking the gorgeous lake and it couldn't have been more perfect! Our reception was in the Yacht Club Ballroom which is such a beautiful venue. Everything was so amazing and I would recommend this venue to anyone who is planning their wedding! Thank you so much for the perfect day and one I will never ever forget!

ill talking about how much fun they had!

ousekeeping to the wait staff to the bartenders but especially with Rachel and Paige. Both of them were a pleasure work with, were very detailed oriented, timely, upbeat & positive, worked so well with our planner Kimberley Bentley with Silver Thistle Events, and executed our vision. We had our reception on a smaller section of the Magnolia Lawn which fit our small wedding size PERFECTLY. The night time boat ride after our reception was so lovely and the thoughtful champagne and strawberries waiting in our room to come back to was so great. Our guests LOVED the pools, golf courses and kid activities. We really loved all of the options of guest rooms as the Paseo apartment fit the large families we had as guests, the Water Condos were great for guests that wanted waterfront upgrades and the standard rooms were great for our guests at a wonderful price point! The waitstaff paid special attention to us and our guests during breakfasts which made a great impression on our guests that flew in from far away to come see us get married. We hold a special place in our hearts for Horseshoe Bay, Rachel and Paige and always look forward to returning for a night or 2 to reminisce back on seriously the best weekend of our lives.

friendly. My family had an incredible experience there and everything went so smoothly. The best part about this process can be summed up in two words: Vildan Ruiz. This woman was my coordinator and is quite possibly one of the best people I've met. She and her husband went above and beyond all requirements to make thigns special for us and to communitate well and often with us! This place will forveer be special to us and we plan to return for every anniversary to celebrate. Pricing was so worth the convenience of having all vendors in one place, and the resort has it down to a well-oiled system. It was amazing! I'd give 100 stars if I could.

uests were handled immediately. Can't recommend this venue enough for weddings. It is gorgeous, and the hotel and catering staff were fantastic!

new location as magical as the outdoor location that was our first preference. The food was very good and the staff were all very accommodating and bent over backwards to solve any problem or answer any question we had. They even had to make a last minute trip to the Austin airport the morning of the wedding to pick up one our groomsmen after his flight was delayed multiple times. Our guests were all very complimentary of the location, the service and the amenities of the resort. Everyone made a weekend event out of it, and could because of all that there is to do there. Whether it was spending time in the spa, playing a round of golf, taking a dip in the pool, challenging the grandkids to a round of miniature golf, or just strolling around the beautiful grounds, there was something for everyone. My brides maids and I and a few close friends went on a run the morning of the wedding and the concierge staff would cheer and clap for us each time we passed the hotel. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Our wedding was magical and beautiful and our guests have had nothing but glowing remarks about HBR, the HBR Staff and the ceremony itself. It was a 5 star experience.

t to anyone! Especially if you are looking for a tropical, FUN celebration. So very thankful to everyone who made it possible for us!

nd she was fantastic! She always got back to me in a timely manner and always had an answer for everything! Everything from the tour of the venue to the layout of the space, to the food tasting, to the coordination of the event was absolutely perfect! I was so confident the day of my event because all the staff knew exactly what they were doing! Before my first look with my dad the bar tenders were even giving him some free drinks! We had a bridal breakfast at the yacht club outside and it was s little chilly but they brought us towels to warm up! It would have been nice to have a heater but we quickly went in the sun and it felt great! The bridal suite was nice (needs a little more lighting) and it got pretty cold in there at one point but other than that I thought it was spacious and set up beautifully by the staff! The ceremony and cocktail hour was flawless and to my knowledge the party was a blast! I have to say our favorite part was our boat exit! It was a beautiful night enjoyed by all! I will definitely be going back for our anniversary! Thanks Horseshoe Bay for making my weekend so special!!!

de and me, but also for all of our guests. We had multiple comments from our guests on how gorgeous the resort was and how lovely a time they had as families for a weekend get away. Truly a perfect weekend and celebration!

t and really understood the in's and out's of a wedding. She listened to all of concerns and met them with plans of action. We worked with her for over a year on hotel room blocks, cost, food tasting etc. and she always replied with a positive, quick and conscious responses. She answered my wife's endless emails with expediency and never wavered from a hard question. The lawns were picturesque at the Yacht club. We did not have to worry about very much on the day which was quite convenient as I was wanting to focus on the UT game and getting married. Everything went off without a hitch. The food was excellent at the wedding and my mother's rehearsal dinner was perfect. We appreciate HSB.

, to the decorations, to the beautiful scenic view-everything worked out better than we anticipated. Rachel and the staff at Horseshoe Bay did an amazing job taking care of the details so that we could enjoy ourselves and our guests.

on but the food was impeccable. I still get so many compliments on the beauty and ease of the whole day! Just overall ecstatic with the whole experience.

ve ever hoped for! Rachel, Shelley, and all the staff went above and beyond to make our day special.

not have imagined getting married anywhere else. We did both ceremony and reception on the Yacht Club side which I felt made our wedding unique.

l played golf in the morning and had nothing but good things to stay. With golf; tennis; marina; spa; putting; bike rides; etc, there was plenty of things for my guests to do. The venues are beautiful and Horseshoe Bay made the day stress free. I will forever cherish this day and thank Horseshoe Bay Resort for their excellent service!

t it definitely proved to be one of the most challenging. With so many moving parts + vendors, Plans A through C simultaneously accounted for, and an almost-last-minute change in dinner service, Rachel remained calm, professional, and always had a smile on her face. She went above and beyond her scope of work in order to make our client happy. I couldn't have asked for a better colleague to work with nor a better resort to work at.

but everything that went right, but I think a better gauge is the staff's reaction when everything goes wrong. In this case, many of these 7 events were to be held outside (which we had planned down to the minute detail for over a year). When torrential rain and flooding nixed that plan, we collectively moved into over-drive to help give my daughter the wedding of her dreams. I can truly say that Rachel Harris and her colleague Rachel the banquet manager did everything possible to make that happen. I am a very particular MOB and had very specific requests. They continued to work with me on alternatives until I was satisfied. All my special requests were filled. The attitude was to say "yes" or "let's figure out how we can make that happen" instead of "no." Our guests had a fabulous time and my daughter told me the next day that "rain or shine - it still exceeded her dreams." As a mother that is all you ever want to hear. The biggest issue we had was getting people to leave at the end of each of the events. I would say that is a very good problem to have. I cannot thank the two Rachels enough for the personal service they provided and for helping to make this special weekend filled with memories we will cherish forever.

venue, but the hotel was the most perfect home base for all of our friends and family to stay in the Horseshoe Bay area! Every night we would all hang out by the Lantana bar downstairs and catch up with all of our out of town guests. Since we live in Dallas, Paige made all the transactions and travel arrangements flow flawlessly - whether it had to do with our transportation to and from the wedding site, food and beverages for our presidential suite, or any other loose end you don't think of until the last minute! I highly recommend booking a room block for your wedding if you are getting married in the area! Side note - we were married during one of the Austin City Limits weekends and Horseshoe Bay was perfect being an hour outside of the city! Just in case you are planning a fall wedding in Austin without all the crazy traffic and limited hotel space.

ong with all of my guests) was simply astounded at the absolutely gorgeous view of the bay and the beautiful set up the resort staff worked so hard on for our special day. Paige Herbert, our wedding coordinator at the resort, was simply phenomenal. She went above and beyond for us. She was very kind, communicative, and ever so helpful. She made our day so amazing--I am eternally grateful to her for all that she did for us. All of the other staff that we encountered were also incredibly nice and helpful. During the four days spent on the resort, everyone we encountered did a beautiful job making us feel welcome. I will be returning to the resort some time in the future to just enjoy all it has to offer (and relax what with no wedding to plan). I can not express how happy I am with how everything turned out. The Horseshoe Bay Resort is like a tropical oasis hidden in the great state of Texas, and I am so glad I found it.

e LBJ at sunset. Our seated dinner was just inside in the Captain's Quarters, which was just perfect for us - many guests commented on what a wonderful wedding it was, and that it was like being in our own home! Paige was fantastic at addressing our questions promptly, and making sure every detail was attended to. We look forward to celebrating many anniversaries at HSB Resort, the service is outstanding!
