Ma Maison

loud when we walked in for the first time to the beautiful grove of live oak trees with breathtaking Texas Hill Country views (...to the lakeside view...to the unique French gazebo...the list really goes on!), but what really clinched the deal for us was the charming covered trellis that could serve as a plan B ceremony site in case of rain. The venue has only continued to improve since we first booked, as they now have a new chapel that can serve as an indoor plan B, or even plan A! And now in the time of COVID, having the trellis available as an outdoor reception area without having to worry about weather or renting an expensive tent to help keep guests safer was such a blessing. We loved getting married at Ma Maison and definitely recommend the venue wholeheartedly!

ain storm. It was better than I ever could of imagined. It was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Ma Maison and their staff for your future wedding.

nd it was absolutely perfect. Karen and her team were an absolute dream to work with. They knew what they were doing and they were always on top of every detail to make it a perfect day. When COVID hit, we were unsure if we could make the wedding happen and were very concerned about our guest's safety but Karen and her team put every precaution in place that you can think of. We were able to accommodate our guests and have a beautiful, fun SAFE wedding and it's all thanks to Karen and her team.

cation of cocktail hour, ceremony, reception, etc. 10/10 would recommend!!

't like about Ma Maison.... between the different spots on the gorgeous property for photos to the built-in rain plan on the Trellis area to the beautiful Great Hall and bridal suite, we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding a few months because of COVID and Ma Maison couldn't have been easier to work with through the entire process. Karen and her team were responsive whenever we reached out and were absolutely amazing leading up to and on the day of our wedding. They made us feel like family by the time the wedding happened! Our wedding day was perfect in every way and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. I would recommend Ma Maison a million times over to any bride!

aren was always available or one of her wedding planners to answer any questions we had. The bridal sweet is WOW, amazing! Our daughters ceremony took place at The Grove under a beautiful chandelier, followed by cocktail hour in an outdoor cooled trellis area. The venue was elegant with chandeliers everywhere, a separate sitting area and lots of outdoor places for the guest to come and go. It was a perfect evening at a perfect venue for a perfect wedding! To quote the groom “if you don’t chose Ma Maison for your wedding, you’re crazy!”

aison stands for My House in French... and it truly feels like a home. Karen Moise, the owner, is phenomenal. I cannot brag on her enough. She truly cares about each of her couples and she truly loves on her venue. You step onto the property and really feel like you're in a different place. It was so peaceful and the most thoughtful venue I've ever been to- it is obvious that each inch of the property is cared for with loving hands. You cannot go wrong getting married here and you will feel it the moment you step in.

he whole place to yourself (as opposed to some other venues that host multiple weddings in different areas of the property). Even though we loved it, I didn't feel comfortable booking a place without having shopped around for other options. We ended up touring 13 more venues over the course of the next month but couldn't find anything we loved more than Ma Maison. The staff there were a dream to work with throughout the whole process. Karen and her team were helpful, kind and made the entire process so smooth. I would recommend Ma Maison to anyone!

a vineyard/winery feel with all the wedding magic thought of in advance. Lets be honest... Dripping Springs is not lacking when it comes to wedding venues. Ma Maison was one of the only ones that struck me as unique; and none of the others I visited seemed to be as well thought out. One of the most notable differences is the layout. Other venues felt incredibly cramped after viewing the large, sweeping grounds of Ma Maison. I also loved that it was not visible from the street; being tucked back away from passer-bys gave it a much more intimate feel. There are multiple areas to get married inside, outside, or even on a terrace if that suits your fancy! All of these areas are open for your guests to roam about, which is something I appreciated during cocktail hour. Ringing the bell in the bell tower was one of my favorite parts of our ceremony, and I LOVED sneaking into the reception through the tower! My guests were so surprised! It should also be said that during the planning process Ma Maison was always available to answer any questions I had. Karen even caught some of the rainwater on my wedding day and gave it to me in a decorated jar! That is the kind of care you're getting at Ma Maison. Top notch! The only area I think they could improve on was the lack of WiFi. I didn't think this would matter to us because I didn't plan to be surfing the web or anything, however, we spent a good amount of time trying to get our hotspots to work to entertain the flower girl all day and to play our music! Could be easily avoided by making a playlist in advance and being more creative with entertainment for the FG. I'd just do this way in advance though because I just don't know when I would have done any of that right before the wedding! I HIGHLY recommend this venue. Actually I spoke so highly about it at work that one of my coworkers has already signed his contract with Ma Maison!

Hill Country at Ma Maison and heard from our guests how much they loved our venue selection. We identified early on that photography was the most important aspect of our wedding together, but what we didn't realize was how many different photo opportunities Ma Maison offered us. We were blessed to have the opportunity of having out wedding at Ma Maison!

ng the reception hall, it's a beautiful venue, and it's truly set up perfectly for weddings (bathrooms galore and tons of space!). I saw a lot of venues around the Austin area, and I felt the most at ease with Karen and Ma Maison. It's truly a spectacular place, and you can execute any vision you have for the type of wedding you want. Also, I knew I would have a big, fun, party crowd, and Ma Maison had enough space to house us and a perfect layout to make sure everyone could have a great time. Karen was always quick to respond to emails and questions, which really put me at ease throughout the whole process. You won't regret going with Ma Maison for your wedding!!!

wn our deposit to hold our date. I felt I did not have any real issues with Karen or any of her staff, they were all very helpful. They run a pretty tight ship but it is how they’ve remained successful all these years and I would recommend in a heartbeat! Honestly, the grounds and the options are unmatched. They take care of the property so well and it shows. The grooms room could honestly be a bit bigger but the bride suite is phenomenal. I had the time of my life here and couldn’t thank the staff enough for allowing us to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity at this venue!

y responsive throughout the whole process and was super helpful to what we needed leading up to the big day. You can trust you will have a beautiful wedding at the venue!

here from where we are. We hesitantly decided to go see few venues in dripping springs - we looked at few and nothing was speaking to us. We were about to give up and Ma Maison was last one on the list. We were walking down aisle to check out green cathedral at Ma Maison and i remember saying "This is it, this is where i want to get married". Venue is so peaceful and elegant, Karen did an amazing job with this venue - i felt like i stepped into another world and didn't want to leave. After lot of deliberation, we booked with the venue, from then on Karen was very helpful in vendor referrals and was very quick to respond to my emails if i had any questions. For unfortunate reasons my parents couldn't make it to the wedding. During the final planning meeting, Karen took on a mom role and was talking me through proper etiquette and was giving me suggestions on how to arrange things so the wedding flows perfectly. She is a very loving and caring person. I am glad to have met her :) Thanks so much Karen for all that you did and for building something so beautiful

were initially interested in Ma Maison because of its central Texas location and stunning hill country landscape. The variety of ceremony locations and indoor reception space allows for ultimate creativity. You would be missing out not to visit Ma Maison when looking for your wedding venue. And once you meet the Karen and the rest of her crew, you'll understand why anyone married there easily feels so special. They are extremely professional and above and beyond helpful throughout the entire process. Ma Maison is so supportive of all your dream wedding ideas and genuinely invested in helping you make those dreams come true.

and Karen Moise was immediately welcoming to us. She was absolutely outstanding in our first meeting and that carried through all the way to the wedding day and beyond! We ultimately chose Ma Maison because we wanted the ceremony to be in front of the Green Cathedral and the reception hall felt so large and spacious. Another thing that stood out in comparison to other venues was the rain contingency plan. We were both very confident that even if the weather did not pan out- being in April, after all- that the ceremony would be beautiful indoors. (We were very fortunate in that our weather was absolutely perfect in this case!) The bridal suite is spacious, the room for the grooms is excellent- everything about the venue is totally ideal. And on top of everything else, Karen's service and commitment to excellence sets this venue apart from the rest. We looked at many venues are we're so grateful that we made the right decision with Ma Maison. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

tention to detail. Everyone we worked with was cordial, very helpful and pleasant to work with. The venue has multiple areas for the ceremony, a covered patio area for cocktail hour and a beautiful reception hall. My daughter planned on an outdoor wedding but the weather didn't cooperate so we had to move her ceremony to the covered patio area. So many people said how magical the ceremony was even though it rained elephants and rhinos!! They know their business and they do it exceptionally well. Many vendors we chose had previously worked at Ma Maison and only had great things to say. I can't say enough good things about Karen and her staff.

speak highly of Ma Maison as well. As soon as I walked in to the Great Hall, I knew that this was my venue. All of the ceremony sites are beautiful and when I had to use the Plan B rain plan, everyone worked so hard to create a beautiful, romantic site that was better than I could even imagined. I wouldn't go back and change a thing, even if it didn't rain. If you choose Ma Maison as your venue, you won't be disappointed!

we wouldn’t say “I do” under those beautiful oak trees we had a beautiful ceremony under the Trellis. The rain hitting the roof added perfectly to the ceremony and like magic stopped for the evening when we got to our vows. Cut back to about 10 months ago when we were looking at venues. We drove into Ma Maison and were immediately in awe of the green cathedral and then beautiful tuscan style architecture of the main building in the background. As we walked around the space we were shown a beautiful bridal suite, which has plenty of space to get ready, the grooms suite, with a door out to the side yard where there’s corn hole, horseshoes, and other yard games for them to play while they wait, plenty of bathrooms for you and your guests, the great hall with a nice lofted area, and of course all their beautiful ceremony sites. We picked the Oak Grove as our site, because I was in love with the look of the giant oak trees behind the altar, with our rain plan in the Trellis area, which I already mentioned that we used. The thing that sold me on Ma Maison was their bell tower. There’s a bell in there that you actually get to ring, which of course we did after our ceremony! Ma Maison offers a good selection of their own rentals. We ended up renting some big, old farm tables for our head table as well as some other small decor like a chandelier for the ceremony and some LED candles for decoration. The rentals are a super reasonable price and nice that you don’t have to coordinate rental pick up and drop off with another vendor. About a month out we got to do our final walk-through of the venue and go over final details. Here we talked about our rain plan and the general timeline of the events the day of our wedding. We were introduced to two sweet ideas that give the newly married couple a moment to enjoy the wedding. The first was a private dinner before you go out and get introduced to your guests. This takes place in the bridal sweet and 10/10 would recommend this. It was so nice to be able to enjoy this moment with my new husband, and actually get to eat the food you pay for :). The second was a final last dance. This happens when you announce that the couple is getting ready for their departure. While people are organizing outside you and your new spouse get to have a final private dance in the empty great hall. It’s a really cool photo-op and an even better quite, intimate moment that you two get to share. On the day of our wedding it was raining. I walked into our bridal suite and immediately broke into tears when I saw a small jar of rain water with a note on it. Ma Maison had collected rain water that morning and jarred it for us to keep use on our future child at their christening. It made the start of my wedding so so magical and sweet. The team at Ma Maison truly think abut everything!!

HE capital within the capital. You have three outdoor ceremony options and two indoor options - the possibilities are truly endless and the best of all is that you won't have to share it with any other couples on your wedding day! It rained the entire day of our wedding but we reminded each other this is exactly why we chose Ma Maison. We had an intimate ceremony under the trellis. Low and behold, the skies cleared for cocktail hour and we were able to take advantage of the wildflowers in bloom to have the most gorgeous outdoor pictures ever. Our guests are still commenting how beautiful the venue was. I would be remiss in not thanking everyone at Ma Maison for their support up to and including our special day. We have absolutely no regrets and would choose Ma Maison again in a heartbeat. Ma Maison has everything you need to host the wedding of your dreams. Welcome home!

ng planner prior to opening Ma Maison, and she clearly used her experience to think of every detail when designing the property. The bridal suite was gorgeous, the guys had yard games to keep them entertained, and our rain plan—should we have had to use it—was gorgeous as well. We received so many compliments on the venue from our guests and couldn't have asked for a better setting on our special day!

nywhere else. Thank you so much to all of the staff that worked so hard to make our wedding amazing. We truly had the best time.

erty is absolutely gorgeous and well-maintained, and the photo opportunities are just endless! So many beautiful areas that make the perfect background for pictures. I loved that there were different reception areas to choose from (we chose the Grove, but the Green Cathedral was extremely hard to pass up). It was also really nice that several vendors we worked with had done weddings at the venue before, so they were very familiar with the policies, knew the owner, etc. It just felt like it made things run much more smoothly. Overall, I would definitely recommend Ma Maison for anyone looking to get married in the Texas hill country!

location on the same property as the reception site to maximize our time which we never found in Chicago. Ma Maison has a bridal suite for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in. I chose to add on the LuxWed package that allowed myself and my girls to have additional time in the morning. We also got brunch, lunch and a mimosa bar. I would highly suggest adding on this package to any bride! There is a groom’s room for the guys. My groom was able to take photos outside while I was on the opposite end with my bridesmaids and we never saw each other. There are 3 ceremony sites to choose from. We chose the largest of the 3, the Grove. Surrounded by oak trees, it was perfect even in November. We wouldn’t have gotten that in Chicago! There are 2 doors that lead to the ceremony and before I walked down the aisle, the doors were closed to create a reveal into the ceremony. It was everything I had ever dreamed of, the moment my groom saw me as the doors opened was perfection! Weeks later I still have family that says how beautiful our ceremony site was. A short walk to the Trellis was cocktail hour. The pathways are all paved. No dirt or gravel! Being outdoors and in heels, you want to make sure you aren’t sinking or getting your wedding dress filthy. A cold front blew in the week of my wedding. Ma Maison has clear enclosures that can be dropped down and heaters can be rented to ensure that guests stay warm and cozy even in colder temps. For photos, the locations are ENDLESS! The other 2ceremony sites are the Green Cathedral and the Lake View. The Green Cathedral is actually a reclaimed French antique gazebo, originally from France! There is a green “tunnel of love” going from the main building to the Green Cathedral, covered in vines. The Lake View is just before Lac Moise, the “it” spot to take photos with the fountain. The Great Hall really blew our guests away, with the high ceilings and wooden beams, it was (literally) picture perfect for our reception! We had our grand entrance down the staircase into our reception, all of our guests could see us. In one wing of the Great Hall, there is a living room with a fireplace and sitting area, it made the big room seem homier. Ma Maison literally means “My House” in French and my husband and I really did feel at home at this gorgeous gem of a venue. Karen, the owner, did an amazing job! Which brings me to point #2: Karen is THE BEST! She really did think of everything. With decades of experience, she knows her stuff! Karen created the Trellis in mind of a built-in rain plan. If it had rained or gotten too cold for my guests, we could have had the ceremony under the Trellis with the enclosures and heaters. Karen always answered my emails in a timely manner and was very accommodating. The day of my wedding, our rental company was setting up the draping I had ordered for the Trellis. There was a minor snafu but Karen was out there with me discussing the options and giving her honest opinion, she took the time to make sure I was happy on my wedding day. I cannot say enough about how great it was to work with Karen and her team! Ma Maison is a clear choice and I highly suggest this venue to anyone who is looking for a timeless and elegant wedding venue!

a destination wedding. Karen, the owner, was very wonderful to work with and our wedding day was perfect. Even weeks after our wedding guest were talking about how beautiful the outdoor ceremony was, and how great the architecture was throughout the building. Ma Maison offered many outdoor ceremony sites, beautiful places to take pictures, and a nice grooms suite for the men to get ready and play yard games. We could not have asked for a more beautiful venue to celebrate our special day! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ma Maison, and it's top tier service.

the gorgeous bridal suite to the fire pit, to the multiple ceremony sites, this place is stunning. Countless wedding guests kept telling us how gorgeous the venue was and we're so happy we had our wedding here. The Ma Maison team was great to work with and everything went exactly as planned. This venue does require you to use a specific caterer though, so if you have a catering company in mind that you want to use, I would check with the owner first. But definitely a stunning venue and great place to book your dream wedding!

as you want. Each ceremony site they offered had such a spectacular view, it made for beautiful pictures. We decided to have our ceremony at the Green Cathedral. It was so stunning, unique, and definitely our style! We used the Trellis space for our cocktail hour then moved into the Great Hall for the reception. The 6 chandeliers were gorgeous! We fell in love with the “chic-rustic” style of the Great Hall. The Bridal Suite and Groom’s Den were the perfect space for relaxing before the ceremony. Ma Maison also offered an extensive rental book that made planning so much easier! We didn’t need to purchase random décor, we were able to rent everything we needed. Karen and her team were beyond attentive and professional each step of the way. Overall, I couldn’t be any happier with our decision to have our wedding at Ma Maison. It was truly the best day of our lives! Thank you, Ma Maison for making my fairytale wedding reality!

estic lake with the fountain, the three outdoor sites to get married (we chose the Grove), the Trellis, the bridal suite, the grooms den, the great hall, and last but certainly not least - the bell tower! I felt like all my dreams had come true the day of my wedding and this was the most absolute perfect place to get married. The venue owner, Karen, is not only a fantastic small business owner but she is so personable and a truly wonderful person and you can truly tell she cares. Her staff are amazing and so helpful and made the entire process seamless! I was planning my wedding from another state, and Karen and her staff made it so effortless for me! She put my mind at ease multiple times! Everything about this venue has been so thoroughly thought out and I just don't know of a better place to get married. All of my guests were complimenting how beautiful the space was and how majestic it was. I couldn't agree more! I would choose this venue to get married at a million times over and definitely recommend it to any prospective bride out there! Your dreams are about to come true! Thank you Ma Maison for making my fairytale wedding a reality! Couldn't have done it without you!

as big as a wedding, and that was lacking. My planner had some issues as well. The venue itself is beautiful and there are many scenic views to capture moments. The brides room was cozy and my bridesmaids enjoyed getting ready there. My only pet peeve was the lack of communication, which is why 3 stars are given.

state and couldn’t have felt more supported from the Ma Maison team). All three of Ma Maison’s ceremony sites are beautiful (we opted for the Green Cathedral and it was as unique and stunning as you think it would be) and the Great Hall for the reception is jaw-dropping. The whole venue is so well-thought out and gorgeous on it’s own (seriously they thought of EVERYTHING when designing this place) that you can do as much or as little as you want and your day will turn out wonderfully. They also have an excellent rain plan, which was a really big deal to me as I fret about weather and felt so secure leading up to the day knowing no matter what, the wedding would be lovely (luckily we didn’t have to use the rain option but still…) The Bridal Suite and Groom’s suite are great too and provided ample space for our wedding party to relax all day, hang out, get ready etc. so that made day-of/getting ready logistics so easy. Overall, I couldn’t be any happier with our decision to have our wedding at Ma Maison - it was truly the best day of our lives!

cor, AND has thought of everything, then this place is for you! The venue is so gorgeous that you don't need many rentals at all. We were also very impressed with their contract, which was thorough and protects not just the venue but the bride and her guests.

rson we came into contact with was extremely kind, helpful, and genuine about making our day the most important. The facility is so gorgeous and so well maintained! When we took our first tour, there were absolutely no doubts that Ma Maison was where we wanted to get married!!! The entire experience was so enjoyable and most of all stress free!!! Ma Maison has a special place in our hearts and I would tell anyone to most definitely choose Ma Maison for their special day! Thank you for making ours a day we will never forget!:)

ng this venue hasn't thought of when it comes to planning and assuring your wedding is everything you have ever dreamed of. Its unique style and outdoor scenery is absolutely stunning and the staff is outstanding! You and your guests will love everything about it.

to offer... each of the five main areas is so gorgeous, it was really hard to choose where to have the ceremony. We planned to use The Grove with the beautiful outdoor gate entrance for our ceremony, but when extreme heat, bad UV index, and a thunderstorm threatened our outdoor ideas, we moved (three days before the wedding!) to The Trellis. I couldn't have been happier with how lovely the "Plan B" was, and our guests were very thankful to be in the shade. There were so many special things that made the day amazing at Ma Maison... the Bridal Suite and Groom's Lounge are both so comfy and homey, which really eased day-of jitters. The bell tower is an extra special touch - the bell rang right before I walked down the aisle, and we got to ring it again together right after we exited as man and wife! Ma Maison mandates that you use Crave Catering, which is so delicious and versatile we couldn't have had better food with a more elegant setup. Ma Maison has an extensive catalog of extras you can rent, but there's so much included with the rate, it's a really good value for an elegant wedding. We had right around 100 guests, which at first I was worried wouldn't fill the cavernous Great Hall for the reception, but it was perfectly cozy. They do accommodate smaller or much larger if needed! The free onsite parking is very convenient, but either plan for safe drivers or a shuttle because it's kind of in the middle of nowhere, depending on where guests are staying. Being in the middle of nowhere is great for photos though! On your wedding day, you get the entire property to yourself (though I will mention another couple was getting a tour of the venue the morning of our wedding). We definitely recommend Ma Maison!!

were absolutely blown away. The bridal and groom suites were immaculate. The hall was absolutely gorgeous. The trellis was lively and beautiful. The team at Ma Maison carried everything out to a tee and worked very hard to accomplish that. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Thank you so so much! You deserve 100 stars!

Maison- our gusts are still talking about the venue and how great the wedding was. The venue itself is beautiful and taken care of like no other venue that we visited. It is set up to flawlessly host both your ceremony and reception - Karen has thought of everything! Better than anything though was how comfortable Karen and her team made me feel. With the stress of wedding planning, knowing that I could count on Karen to help me out and make sure that everything was going to go smoothly was so special and something that I did not feel anywhere else that we looked. I really cannot recommend Ma Maison enough!

about Ma Maison, the catering service they use, and how accommodating everyone was. The venue provides gorgeous photo ops and will leave a lasting memory on anyone who chooses it! :)

is the PERFECT location...secluded out in the Hill Country but only 40 minutes from Downtown Austin, and the cigar bar and s'more pit that we were able to have outside due to all of the space was a huge hit!!! We even had large patches of bluebonnets on the day, which made for gorgeous photos!! Karen and her team are so easy to work with, promptly responding to emails and always fitting us in for visits when we came into town. You absolutely won't go wrong with this stunning, versatile venue. Bonus: the back-up rain plan under the trellace still allows you to have an "outside" wedding if it rains.

he Green Cathedral and Great Hall, I just HAD to have my wedding here. Karen is amazing and truly wants to make your day special. Karen and her staff must meet with tons and tons of couples, but we always felt like their top priority from the start. The bridal suite is beautiful, spacious and was the perfect place for my girls and me to get ready! I highly recommend the Luxe package which gives you extra time in the morning and you are provided mimosas, a light breakfast, and lunch. When you book the venue a built-in rain/weather plan is included. Luckily the weather cleared up for our big day, but it was a huge relief knowing that if it did rain, we were covered. I highly recommend Ma Maison for your wedding day! There's a reason why they are booked every single weekend for months at a time. It's the ideal place to get married!

age and highly recommend it - not only did it give us extra time at the venue, but the mimosa bar, breakfast and lunch were very good. Their vendors list (especially their catering partner, Crave Catering) are some of the best in the business. Five months later, our guests are still talking about how Ma Maison was one of the most beautiful venues - and weddings - they had ever been to. We could not have been happier!

ison is simply perfection.

f the amenities. My daughter and her groom had the most perfect wedding day. Karen and her team were there to offer support and to make sure the day ran smoothly. We are so grateful to Karen for helping to create the perfect wedding for our family. I would highly recommend Ma Maison as your Hill Country wedding venue.

trellis and adjacent lawn. This gave our guests some exposure to the mystical outdoor ambiance that Dripping Springs has to offer. We then had a glamours reception with a plated dinner for 175 guests. The change is scenery was exactly what we wanted for our big day and our guests raved about their experience at our wedding. Karen and team were so easy to work with. We are so thankful we found Ma Maison.

single time! Thank you to Karen and the entire team for the wonderful wedding!

e high ceilings and the gorgeous doors out to the patio, but the beauty of the property, the details, the outdoor spaces... it just goes on around every corner! I could have spent DAYS taking in every beautiful, photo-worthy space. Add to that an incredible staff who welcomed us with open arms, and you have a match made in heaven for any couple. We cannot wait to shoot at Ma Maison again!

, "It was the most amazing wedding and venue they had ever been to!" We are beyond grateful to Karen and her staff for working with the highest level of professionalism but also meeting our personal needs impeccably well. There is not enough I can say about how great of an experience we had at Ma Maison and I would highly recommend the venue to anyone getting married. The venue is even more beautiful in person than in the photos! Yet Karen is ultimately the gem behind it all and working with her made this special time of our lives unforgettable! Thank you Ma Maison and thank you Karen!

makes you forget the outside world, even for just a peaceful moment. Everything about Ma Maison was built to be a wedding venue-the BEST wedding venue. But you know you've hit the jackpot when you meet the 'Ma' of Ma Maison, Karen. She is the most generous, compassionate and loving person you will ever meet! The perfect person you want to be interacting with when you are in one of the most important seasons of your life. Karen and her wonderful staff did everything in their power so that we had the best day of our lives on our wedding day. During the whole planning process, we never had to talk about something twice, once Karen understood what we were trying to do, that was it. It was then magical to see everything come to life that we had talked about without a single detail being missed. We are soooo grateful to God to have Ma Maison intertwined in our life story and we will never be able to repay what Karen did for our wedding day! Thank you! <3

ot what we needed on this very special day. Looking back I wish we had checked out other beautiful venues in the Austin area. Crave catering however was wonderful. We will remember all the beauty of the day.... but I cannot recommend this venue.

tivities. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

d how much space there was both indoors with every space being more beautiful than the next. The amount of beautiful locations to take photos is incredible - especially at the green cathedral! Not to mention, their in-house caterer was outstanding! Thank you, Karen, for a wonderful experience.

ponsive and helpful. I can't say enough good things about this venue! If you choose it, you will not be disappointed!

ision we made during our wedding planning! I was not the kind of girl that knew exactly what she wanted her wedding to be like since she was 6 years old but like every other girl I envisioned marrying my soulmate in a magical beautiful setting and I can tell you that NOTHING I could ever imagine would ever even come close to how AMAZING/MAGICAL our wedding day was and we have Ma Maison and Karen to thank for it! When we got engaged my husband and I were in no rush to start planning and took 7 months just to decide WHERE we wanted to get married at. We love to travel and we are from different countries (I am originally from Mexico and he is from Colombia). We met and fell in love in Houston, we have been living here for almost a decade so Texas is very special to us. Long story short we looked at soo many locations... Mexico, Colombia, Napa, San Diego, Colorado, Houston...I didnt find what I was looking for anywhere! I envisioned a very organic, romantic setting that looked like it is in the middle of Tuscany or the wineries in France without having to plan a destination wedding that far away. I could not find it anywhere... definitely not in Houston (every reception venue is urban or doesnt have any outdoor space). As destiny usually works one day when I was about to give up I opened the first wedding magazine I ever bought (I got it a week after we got engaged to read during a flight but I never opened it)...7 months later I found it and finally read it. In there I found a wedding that was celebrated at Ma Maison..it was love at first sight! I then looked at pics on their website and I could not believe my eyes! It looked exactly like what I envisioned! I wondered if it was too good to be true?! Jorge and I love to tour wineries around the world and for that reason we've traveled to the Texas Hill country very frequently plus we loove Austin so I immediately called and made an appointment to tour it within two days. Karen the owner answered and she was soo sweet to accommodate us on such a short notice. OMG I can not express what I felt when we walked in the first time...it was MEANT TO BE, it was exactly what I dreamed of, I would not change a thing almost like it was made to order! We both knew this is where we were meant to get married at! Our search was finally over! we planned a long distance wedding and had to change our plans and got married 6 months AFTER we originally intended just to be able to get married at MaM (IT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL!) .....and it was SOOO worth the wait and the long distance planning!! Our wedding was PERFECTION. We got blessed with the most perfect weather and my gamble paid off because we even got blue bonnets which we were able to take pictures with! I want to take the time to thank Karen as she is the soul of MaM and she made me feel AT HOME (hence the name), worked with me for months, accommodated me many times as I was from out of town, was flexible with hours and worked with our Latin craziness! I am running out of words but I can tell you that if you are looking for the most breathtaking place to get married at, with the BEST owner who goes out of her way to make you feel special (like ur not just one other bride), check out MaM, thank me later! ;)

oughout the process, Karen responded to my emails within 24 hours (I had endless questions), and her staff helped me think about much of the logistics. Our wedding occurred in March when the bluebonnets were in bloom - it was beautiful! The bridal suite and groom's den were so comfortable and inviting. The guests raved about the outdoor ceremony area, enjoyed the trellis for cocktail hour, and had a blast watching us walk down from the 2nd floor of the reception hall to make our grand entrance. At the end of the night, we did a glow stick exit outside; it was a wonderful ending to a special night. Thank you, Karen and team!

son was perfect providing a mix of rustic country landscapes with a chic french vibe. The grove ceremony site is breathtaking and I still have chills of having the big wooden doors open and seeing all my guests and my future husband as I walked down the aisle. It has a huge fire pit with comfortable chairs and many sitting areas for guest to enjoy during happy hour and throughout the night. we loved ring the big bell announcing our marriage after our ceremony. There are so many thoughtful little touches around the venue that truly make it one of a kind and you can tell the owner, Karen, put a lot of though into the design. We loved having a private dinner in the courtyard to have a moment together and loved that this allowed time to visit with our guests while everyone else was eating. The groomsmen enjoyed playing bags and yard games while the bridesmaids got ready in the beautiful bridal suite. The venue even has beautiful and many bathrooms, which is actually incredibly important when choosing a venue! The bar setup was great and there were never long lines. We had 200 guests and it seemed like the perfect amount in the space. Thank you Ma Maison for making our fairytale wedding come true, it could not have been more perfect!

wner operates. I wasn't going to write any type of review until my deposit was deducted for a broken door stop and a "few cigar butts found on the grounds". First, I was mortified by how the owner spoke and treated me, my family, the groom's family, and my coordintor. Rude. Really rude and confrontational on THE DAY. I had just arrived ... we had rented the venue for the whole day ....about $10k ... I stepped into the entrance and the owner met me at the front door with "WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" She confronted me and threatened for the wedding to be canceled....I had two coordinators on site , but she confronted me. The issue was alcohol. It was and still very confusing. Something to do with there can be no outside alcohol after a certain time it has to CRAVE , but we had been told to bring extra champagne ...blah blah blAh....so confused and she proceeded to confiscate all the champagne and beer we purchased and brought (it was not returned) - and the net is the wedding party was at the venue from 2pm-6pm with no alcohol. No champs..nothing. CRAVE ( caterer was rude to the coordinator who was trying to sort it out) We spent $10k on venue and over $30k with CRAVE and somehow we had a huge alcohol issue. The way the owner spoke to me made me feel like a child and spent the rest of the afternoon hiding from her until she finally left the premise. Next, 2 weeks prior to event, we were notified that the owner had changed the bus policy and we had to rebook smaller buses (more of them) and a greater expense and lots of scrambling to change. When we complained, her suggestion was to drop the guests off at the gate (what?? ...and walk in their heels through the dirt to the ceremony) or that we could pay for any damages to the gate. Since I was charged for a broken door stop, I'm thankful I acquiesced to the sudden change in policy..who know what I would have been charged. I would also make sure if you would like to have more than 150 guests that the seating numbers work between CRAVE (caterer) and what they will seat per table and what MA MAISON says it holds if you want everyone inside and together.

little decor because it was so beautiful on it own. I also seeked a venue that had separate areas to host each of our events on our wedding day (ceremony, cocktail hour and reception). Ma Maison offers this and so much more. The Suite de Mariage, or bridal suite, is incomparable. Its is the perfect place to get ready with your girls, as it resembles a queen's quarters with vintage furniture all in pastels and gold. Attached to it is a private garden where you can sip on champagne, enjoy the nature surroundings with a fountain in the background while you sit in the sun. The groom's area has a TV and outdoor games for the guys to stay entertained. You have several ceremony sites to pick from and can easily accommodate up to 400-500 people. We had a smaller wedding of 120 and the venue still felt perfect. It wasn't too large and certainly didn't feel empty. Ma Maison stands alone when compared to other venues in Texas, the management team is super responsive, the catering team listens to your every need and i with your venue rental, they include wood ceremony folding chairs, round tables and chiavari chairs...yes you read that correctly! Other venues don't have this and you are obligated to find your own methods to rent furnishings. I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Ma Maison from the moment we stepped onsite for the tour to the last second we stepped out on our wedding night during our sparkler exit. If you want to experience a complete fairy tale wedding this is your place and Karen & team are who you want!

ey both made me feel comfortable, calm, and at ease on my wedding day. Awesome venue!

ations for an outdoor ceremony. There is also a built in rain plan (which put my mind at ease during the planning process) that holds the ceremony on their huge, fully covered trellis. Luckily, we had perfect weather the day of our wedding. After the ceremony at The Grove, we had cocktail hour on the Trellis and the reception in the Great Room - it created a very nice flow for the guests and gave an upscale, yet romantic feel. My bridal party and I got ready onsite in their huge, elegant bridal room. Our hair stylists and makeup artists had plenty of room with extra room for us to snack and sip champagne. Ma Maison even has a groom's room! My groom loved that he and his guys could get ready onsite and have fun hanging until the big event. I would have selected Ma Maison just for its beauty, but you get so much more with the service. From the beginning of the planning stages, to the day of, Karen Moise and her team took care of us every step of the way. Karen has years of experience as a wedding coordinator and it shows in the way her venue is run. They require you to hire a day of coordinator and they are on site as well, so our wedding could not have run more smoothly. Ma Maison worked so well with our other vendors to ensure the timeline went as planned and all of our special details were carried out. Karen personally walked me to meet my father at the start of my walk down the aisle and even helped me carry my dress. The contract was very clear on all expectations and the pricing is very reasonable for the value of your experience. They even do a military discount, which we greatly appreciated. If I had to plan it all over again, I would pick Ma Maison every time!

en we walked in I knew right then this was the place. Ma Maison was the perfect combination of outdoor nature and inside classic elegance. The venue truly completed my vision for the perfect wedding. Karen was so helpful through the whole planning process. She knew who to contact for any questions I had and always responded to me immediately. She was truly a pleasure to work with she went above and beyond on our wedding day! She helped my bridesmaids when we were getting ready and personally helped fix a few last minute dress issues we had. Karen has such a big heart and we felt so at home having our wedding at her venue. Everything turned out like a fairytale!

he entire grounds are inside and out! We are so happy we chose Ma Maison for our best day ever :)

s that pretend like they are the perfect place, but Ma Maison actually lives up to it. I believe that the venue is the most important part of your wedding (other than marrying the love of your life!) and Ma Maison made my wedding feel like a fairy tale. My guests came from 2 different continents and over 25 different states and a month later, I am STILL hearing from my guests from all over the world how Ma Maison was the most unique wedding venue they have ever seen. It truly is that special. If you are lucky enough to get a date here (this place is popular...book as soon as you get engaged!) do not even hesitate. There will be plenty of decisions you will make as a bride and believe me when I tell you this one is a no brainer. Venue: The grounds are stunning- it feels as if you have your own castle for the day. My guests were spread out over the beautiful trellis with string lights during cocktail hour, my mom and her friends relaxed near the large firepit, guests were taking pictures by the huge fountain on the lake and I was able to have a snow cone food truck come in and set up near the large oak trees in the grove. I had my ceremony at the Green Cathedral and it made wedding decor inexpensive because with the setting so gorgeous, you really don't need to add anything. Other venues require you to spend tons of money dressing up the space to make it stand out, whereas my bridesmaids were floored when they walked into Ma Maison on the wedding day.. and that's before we even decorated! Communication: Karen was absolutely wonderful. She was always quick to email me back (same day!) when I had questions, never got frustrated when I had a million things to ask, and offered up her favorite vendors to make my planning go smoothly when I had to push up the date 4 months early. She sees you as a person and not as a customer and does everything she can to make sure that this really is the best day of your life. Cost: Surprisingly, this venue is the most inexpensive I came across . Other venues tried to trick me by starting off with a low cost and then building in insane prices for the chairs/tables/tents, etc. Ma Maison included everything so the price you see is really the price you get. I could not recommend this place enough!! I feel SO lucky to have been able to have my wedding here!

ue I went to tour and within minutes of walking into the venue, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was the wedding venue of my dreams and it was where I wanted to marry my husband. Ma Maison is absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous and sits on a beautiful property in the Texas Hill Country. One of the best parts of having a wedding at this venue is that it is very flexible because there are multiple ceremony sites in case of any inclement weather (we all know how Texas weather can be). Each different site is stunning no matter where you choose to have the ceremony. The property and decor around the venue and inside the venue are already so beautiful that you really don't need much when it comes to decorations other than to just enhance the venue's natural beauty and add a few personal touches. I loved the fact that everything at Ma Maison is laid out so well and they have thought of EVERYTHING you could possibly need to have a beautiful and successful wedding. From the hook on the large window in the bridal suite to hang your wedding dress for pictures, to the bell tower where you get to have a special moment ringing the bell before and after the wedding ceremony, to the large mirror at the foot of stairs where most brides put their cake so you can see it from a 360 degree angle, and much more, Ma Maison has spectacular details to make your big day extraordinary. Karen Moise, the owner of Ma Maison, is also amazing and will answer any and every question you have. She was so helpful as we planned our wedding (and we had no idea what we were doing!). She offered us her expertise and had so many wonderful suggestions that truly enhanced our wedding overall and made it the success that it was. Our wedding was everything I could have ever dreamed of plus much more! My husband and I are so incredibly happy we decided to get married at Ma Maison and we really had the best day of our lives. When you have a wedding at Ma Maison, you truly feel like you have escaped to another world, or as one of our wedding guests put it, "a little slice of heaven".

e team we worked with. Karen was very nice and accommodating up until I signed our contract. I was planning our wedding from out of state and she was not accommodating at all. I had to go through my coordinator at times because Karen was not flexible with me at all. I did not feel like a priority to her and definitely did not feel special. We came to the venue a few times before and she barely came out to say hello. It's truly a disappointment because the venue was amazing- Karen was just very hard to work with. I also felt as if I was not as important because I was planning everything on my own and did not have a full time planner. Every time my day of coordinator stepped in, she seemed to be more accommodating. They also changed several things within the time of booking to the day of our wedding that was not communicated so I would be cautious of that when signing. We had no issues with any other vendors or contacts throughout our planning process. With that being said, our wedding was absolutely amazing and I would not change it for the world!

ost perfect venue (also, part of their grass at the grove was from Kyle Field, which sold this Aggie 100%). You really do not need to do anything to have a gorgeous venue. Also, there is three outdoor, one covered, and one inside location where you can host your ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour. The options are quite literally endless, and Karen is willing to do whatever it takes to make your perfect wedding day a reality. Note: The covered trellis is extremely cool with large fans and oscillating mister fans to keep guests cool for a summer wedding. Karen Moise, the owner of the venue, was such a delight to work with throughout the planning process. The bridal suite, french doors at the grove, green cathedral, etc. is absolutely gorgeous - there is not one bad location to shoot during your bridal portrait or on your wedding day. We chose the "Luxe" Bridal package the day of, which included breakfast, mimosas, and lunch for me and my bridal party, as well as allowing us a few extra hours at the venue. This was such an amazing add on - it relieved potential stress and made sure everyone had some food to eat that day! This package allowed me and my bridal party the opportunity to show up the day of, get pampered with hair and makeup and relax/hang out leading up to the ceremony/reception. They truly thought of every detail when planning the layout of the venue and bridal suite (lots of space and mirrors for the girls!) As everyone started to head down the aisle, Karen made sure I was all set with my veil, flowers, etc. and made sure I had a tissue tucked into my bouquet, if necessary. I felt like she had adopted me for the day :) Ma Maision truly was the perfect venue for my wedding - no regrets here!!

rs that planning from out of town went very smoothly. You can tell Karen has put a lot of heart into this place. There were so many small amenities included that my husband and I never would have thought we would want/need on our wedding day, but Karen has though of it all and this venue made the best day ever possible! Our guests also haven't stopped raving about Ma Maison! They loved the ceremony location we chose (green cathedral) and reception spaces (we took advantage of the reception hall, upstairs, and the outdoor trellis). We absolutely loved this venue!!

son, the fourth place we saw, I was sure it was the spot for us. My wife is a little more indecisive, but after seeing the other places, she was convinced as well. The choice really was easy. First off, if you're looking for a great hill country setting, Ma Maison has beautiful live oaks, awesome spring wildflowers, and the rolling hills you're after. Also, not only are the facilities brand new, but they're well kept and always being upgraded (I can't tell you how many places we saw that needed fresh paint). The flow of the facilities for guests to get from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception are great as well for people looking to host a wedding and reception on site. With multiple ceremony sites, you're sure to find what you're looking for. The bridal suite and grooms quarters were the best of any place we had seen. Even down to smaller touches like super nice bathrooms and nice finishings made the place feel more homey than commercial. Of course, one of the biggest positives for this place is Karen, the owner, who has a wealth of knowledge about weddings and can give plenty of suggestions on local vendors and even day of planning ideas. One of the biggest turnoffs of other places we looked at were owners/managers that were unfriendly or seemed aloof and clueless. Karen is both friendly and knowledgable, and you couldn't ask for a better person to lead you through this process. If I had any advice for people looking at this venue, I would say to make it your first stop when you're scheduling appointments to see venues. If it's your kind of place, you'll know right away, and there won't be any need to see anything else.

lse in a venue! Everything went smoothly and we are so glad we were able to have our wedding at Ma Maison!

ce for navigating thru the myriad of vendors that we would ultimately need to pull our wedding together. She brings the perfect balance of professionalism and personal touch to the experience, and we really appreciated that. The forecast on our wedding day was calling for rain, and it had been a rainy week. Clearly, this was not what we had envisioned for our outdoor wedding, but there were multiple options for us to move inside or under cover. I felt more assured after finding pictures online of a rainy day wedding at Ma Maison, realizing that while the outdoor scenes are amazing, the whole venue is filled with lovely spots for pictures. Luckily, the sun came out and we had a beautiful evening for our wedding. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have the perfect space to say "I do."

eautiful wedding event, in spite of turning to "plan B". The Trellis did not disappoint! All was the perfect backdrop for my daughters dream wedding!

t imagine having gotten married any where else in Texas. It truly was a dream come true. Thank you Karen for opening up your beautiful venue and allowing Ryan and I to start this exciting chapter our lives there.

iss a beat when designing and decorating Ma Maison. I felt SO special on the big day and I can't thank Karen and the staff enough for everything they did for us!!!

rs in full bloom and Star Jasmine perfuming the air, the setting was just magical. Our daughter fell in love with the "Green Cathedral" and had the ceremony there - what a beautiful backdrop for pictures. The furniture provided for both inside and outside use, was perfect for our vintage-themed wedding. The very elegant bridal suite and groom suite provided large comfortable spaces for the bridal party to get dressed and relax. Our guests were just blown away by how perfectly designed Ma Maison was for a wedding. We can't say enough about the wonderful job Karen Moise has done to establish the venue and to ensure every little detail is perfect. Her recommendations and level of professionalism were so appreciated and really helped us have an absolutely beautiful wedding. If you are seeking a breathtaking venue - Ma Maison is the one to choose!
