SWR is professional in all the right ways! The owner, Jennifer is so sweet and flexible to your want/needs within reason! I couldn’t recommend SWR more. I fell in love with their venue and knew it was the one!
The venue was beautiful and matched our theme perfectly! The staff was so sweet. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say!
Jennifer was such a great help with any and all questions I had leading up to my perfect day! Her staff was such a big help of I needed them and provided such a beautiful venue!
Any questions?
This beautiful venue was the perfect setting for our wedding. Jennifer was always available and answered every question promptly. We just had two minor issues with bar service. The first was a misunderstanding. When they said they would serve only beer and wine during cocktail hour, we thought they just meant no mixed drinks. We didn’t understand there would be no non-alcoholic drinks available like soda or water unless we arranged them separately with our caterer. Thankfully we were able to work around it. The second was that the bartenders opened the seal on every single bottle so we couldn’t return ANY of the unused spirits. At least our bar cart is fully stocked for the next few years. Overall it was a great venue and the staff went over and above to make our day perfect.
Wow, this was just our dream wedding venue! Jennifer is AMAZING and the recommended vendors were all so sweet and did such a great job making our vision a reality. This venue is beautiful and very well thought out and was the perfect place for our family and friends to gather and celebrate!!! :-) 10/10 recommend SWR!

Still waters ranch is the best venue I have ever visited and or gone to! Jen and her team she recommended (cloud nine , darker side dj, Carriage caterers and Michelle for photography ) made our wedding vision come to life and much more than we ever expected! Everyone made my now husband and I feel like the most important people and paid great attention to detail and genuinely cared about our day as if we were family. All of my guest were impressed and obsessed with the venue , how organized it was the food the energy of the wedding and every other aspect you can think of! If you’re looking for a very personal , fun , romantic and memorable wedding day you need to book here !
When my fiancé proposed to me I already knew exactly what venue we wanted to share our special day with before even touring. When we toured Jennifer and Angela were both beyond welcoming making us so eager to have our wedding here. The week before Jennifer sent me last minute reminders that were so helpful and was so on top of everything the day of with my day of coordinator !! It was truly a dream and the staff was just phenomenal. We loved still waters ranch !!
Our wedding was a true fairytale and was a dream come true at this incredible wedding venue! 😍
Absolutely stunning venue. Jennifer was amazing and so sweet. She answered any question I had within like an hour or two.
Still Waters Ranch is BEAUTIFUL!! My husband and I toured a few different venues, but fell in love with Still Waters Ranch! Jennifer is AMAZING, and as many times as I emailed her to ask questions, or get answers she answered them very quickly. The let you bring outside vendors in, and really is just all around amazing.
Still Waters Ranch was AMAZING!! We loved how easy it was to get in contact with Jennifer if we had any questions or concerns. They made sure everything ran smooth and had everything ready for us! Highly recommend!
From the moment my, now, husband and I walked into the venue we knew that it was the place we were going to get married. It checked all of our boxes. It’s beautiful, spacious, quiet, not too rustic but not too modern, indoor/outdoor and has INCREDIBLE getting ready spaces. Jennifer is a phenomenal owner and works with you to make your day special and attainable. Words cannot describe the feelings I have for this incredible space that made me a wife. Check it out. You won’t regret it!
I absolutely loved SWR. They were so accommodating and we felt an enormous amount of love during our wedding planning process and especially on the day of. Jen & the whole staff at SWR were top notch and I couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else!!!!
Choose this venue!!!! You will not be disappointed. So easy to work with, and so beautiful- inside and out. You will not regret it.
My son and his wife just had their wedding reception at Still Waters Ranch. It was amazing. We booked the venue a year out and Jennifer was extremely helpful throughout the process. Not only is the venue wonderful, but their preferred vendor list lead us in the perfect direction to fulfill all of the Happy Couples visions for their special day. The Bride’s Room is very spacious and offered all of the specific spaces needed for a very large group of ladies. The Grooms Room was perfect for all of the gentlemen as well. SWR accommodated all of our needs for our timeline and services needed.
We are all very pleased and wouldn’t have changed a thing
Still Waters Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding. We struggled to find a venue that could accommodate 300 people. Still Waters did that and more! The owner was extremely helpful and accessible. I definitely recommend doing the all inclusive package or at least using their preferred vender list to get started on planning.
The owner Jennifer is the sweetest most professional person!! She took time to answer all my questions, gave suggestions(that we used) for seating and how to best utilize space. The staff was so friendly and helpful, even on things that were part of what they did. The restrooms were kept up all night. My guests even commented. It was simply the BEST experience ever.
The staff was so helpful and the venue was just so beautiful and perfect for our large crowd. When people ask my about my wedding day I literally tell them it was perfect. 10/10 would recommend a Still Waters wedding!!!
Stillwaters Ranch deserves far more than 5 stars. The venue is absolutely stunning in itself, but when it was built, every single tiny detail was planned out and executed perfectly. Jennifer also went above and beyond to be there for me during our engagement period. She helped me with any question I had and made my life so much easier. Working with Stillwaters Ranch was a dream! I would do it one thousand times over if I could. Thank you SWR for everything that your team did to make our day so special and magical!
The most wonderful & sweetest owners!! Jennifer is the best. The place is stunning. Our day was everything we dreamed of!
I don't even know where to begin but I will say that I could not possibly imagine getting married anywhere else! Of course the venue absolutely stunning, but that's not what makes it such a special place.
The owners are the sweetest husband and wife duo who make you feel like part of the family as soon as you walk through the doors for your tour. They are so accommodating and truly want your wedding to be just as beautiful, amazing, and stress-free as you do. They are so accommodating too, which is refreshing in this big business that tends to nickel and dime couples and families left and right - simply because they can. That's not the case at Still Waters - you get what you pay for and so much more in my opinion.
I promise you won't regret taking a look at Still Waters. And while you're there, be sure to ask about the venue's amazing story.
This venue was BREATHTAKING! So much was included in the venue rental price and Jennifer, the owner, was available to text and answer all of my off the wall questions. She was there when we arrived the morning of and helped the day run so smoothly! Her staff were so kind and welcoming and my guest couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was! 10/10 recommend!!
Where do I even begin!? Jennier. Is. Amazing. She went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our wedding day so special and have everything run smoothly. She let us bring in all that we wanted to bring and was SO helpful and accomodating with all of our big ideas and many other vendors. She was like a venue host, coordinator, bartender, dance floor queen and more - all rolled into one! And Angela was a doll helping us get more alcohol when we ran out - lol! I cannot recommend SWR enough! The venue is perfect, but the people are even better!!!!
I pulled into the Still Waters Ranch and fell in love instantly. The venue has your jaw drop the second you pull in! The owner Jennifer and her team were absolutely amazing, made the process so easy for us and we’re so welcoming. The venue holds so many guest and so much room for entertainment! We fit our big Hispanic family; including a Mexican band, DJ and mariachis! It was definitely a magical night for us all, our dreams came true with the venue. The fact that we had everything in one place made it so much easier and convenient for our guest! I would recommend SWR to all brides/grooms!
Still Waters Ranch was everything we hoped and dreamed for, we only looked at one venue and immediately knew it was the one, everything from the chapel, the reception area, bar area, to the owner Jennifer and her staff were 5 star great, me and my wife were highly satisfied and they made everything easy and smooth and answered all questions promptly, HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Still Waters Ranch made my dream wedding day happen!! They are amazing to work with!
Best wedding venue!! as soon as we walked in, we knew that we wanted to get married here!! Jennifer is amazing and truly helped us have the most beautiful wedding ❤️
Best venue ever !!! Staff was amazing
Stillwaters Ranch is an amazing venue! I had my wedding there a few weeks ago and Jennifer and her team worked so hard to give us the best night of our lives. Not only is the venue great, but they helped me find all my other amazing vendors as well. I couldn’t be more thankful to have had my wedding here and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!
We found this venue on TikTok! I fell in love with this venue but when we went on our tour, we knew we wanted to tie the knot here. It is such a gorgeous venue. Thanks to the awesome staff and owner of this venue, our wedding went on without any issues. If you are looking for the perfect, semi-secluded spot with a potential for a vast guest list on some beautiful land, this is the place! We will remember this day for the rest of our lives!
I got married here on 9/10/21. The owners Jennifer and Reece are incredibly kind and helpful. Coordinator Angela was great too! They went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect. We truly felt like part of the Still Waters Ranch family. Our day was everything we ever could have imagined. Also a huge shoutout to Tosha and Nick, the bartenders that evening. They made sure all of our guests were having a great time. Will use Still Waters for any events my husband have in the future! 10/10 would recommend to any couples, families, or anyone looking to throw a great party!
Wowowow had my wedding a month ago at SWR and I would highly recommend it. From the moment I toured to the wedding day I felt so well taken care of by Jennifer and her family. Most places once you put the deposit down they don’t care anymore and aren’t great at responding with your hundreds of questions, but SWR was FANTASTIC. I would just text Jennifer with questions I had and she always responded right away. My favorite things about the venue: it’s huge, secluded, so much space for your guests to roam around but still confined to one area, big open spaces, huge bridal suite, not too far from Houston, you can bring your own alcohol, and irs a beautiful venue so you really don’t need that many decorations!!!!
So, as you can tell, I had a fantastic wedding and couldn’t recommend Still Waters Ranch enough. You won’t be disappointed!
We had our wedding here on April 10, 2021. We saw at least 15 venues in the Southeast Texas area and Still Waters Ranch was the only one that checked all the boxes. We booked them when they were still building the venue, on Jan 2020, but we saw Jennifer’s and her family’s vision. We knew it was a perfect place for our wedding and family. From the outside ceremony area, to the pond, to the couples’ suites, everything was just beautiful! We were discouraged when covid came around but Jennifer encouraged us and was so responsive to my worrisome emails. I thank you so much for that because our wedding day is now definitely one of our favorite days. We had both of our families under one roof and everyone had an awesome time—an unforgettable day to say the least.
Thanks a ton!

We got engaged at the perfect time, because Still Waters Ranch was open for booking. My fiancé and I looked searched everywhere for the perfect venue, there was an endless amount tours and retours. But as soon as we went to Still Waters Ranch; just one time, we knew it was the one. My fiancé’ pushed us to visit Still Waters Ranch. I was little apprehensive since they are under construction and were currently at the roots of it all. However, we were blown away by Jennifer, her vision, and passion. Since it was in the early stages of development when we toured; EVERYTHING, Jennifer said had to be trusted and from that day to our wedding day; she did not disappoint.! Still Waters Ranch offers you everything you can dream of in one venue- bridal suite, oversized grooms’ suite, indoor/outdoor options, activities, linens, so much more! But again from the moment we met with Jennifer, we felt we were in great hands. She is so personable, caring, accommodating and really is the heart in this venue. We picked the Still Waters Ranch because it truly gives you the all the perfect options with it’s rustic chic & modern vibe (who even knew that was a thing)! We are beyond grateful we were about to get married here. Jennifer provide some great vendor recommendations. Wish we would have used one of her photographer vendors. Another BIG PLUS is the amount of money we were able to save because Still Waters Ranch allows you to provide your own alcohol. We spend a total of $3500 on drinks, and we still had too much, which some venues were quoting us at $8k to $12k, just to have an half of the bar options; we are able to get.
But do yourself a favor and book a tour, you won't be disappoint.
Thank you again Jennifer & Still Waters Ranch

Very beautiful venue with outstanding management! Clean, spacious, relaxing, peaceful atmosphere where anyone can enjoy their special day!
Loved everything about this venue!! 100% will recommend to all of our friends!
Hands down the absolute best wedding venue in the area! This venue has thought of every detail to make any wedding an amazing one. They have a wonderful staff who are so knowledgeable and made our day run so smoothly. The ballroom is so spacious and the open air chapel out back is breathtaking. I can’t recommend this venue enough. Simply the best!
Having our wedding at Still Waters Ranch is by far the best decision we made. The venue is massive, beautiful, fresh & new, spacious, and affordable! The owners and coordinators are so kind, down-to-earth, easy to work with, helpful, and extremely friendly. The process of planning a wedding at Still Waters Ranch was as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. There was plenty of room for all of our guests and the day ran smoothly. We loved getting married at Still Waters Ranch and highly recommend it for all!
We had our wedding at Still Water Ranch 11.20.20 and it was perfect! The venue is absolutely stunning. The outdoor chapel was perfect, and the reception area is beautiful & large enough for our wedding. Jennifer the owner was very responsive and easy to work with. We used Amanda as our wedding coordinator, she works exclusively at Still Water. I was so happy, Jennifer and her made the whole experience stress free and the day so enjoyable! We received so many compliments on how gorgeous everything was.
The couple and I (MOB) toured this venue when it was a foundation and support beams! We watched it being build over the last year and couldn't wait for Julie and Jordan's perfect day!! They got married on Nov 14 and it was the BEST DAY EVER!! The Tisdale family is a wonderful family that is invested in our communities! We love that a venue like this is on our side of Houston. They worked well with all of our vendors. Even though they have only had a hand full of wedding, you wouldn't know it. It seems as if they have been doing weddings for years. Best decision ever for the Vaughn-Brown Wedding!!!
We didn’t start out with planning our wedding at this amazing venue as they were brand new (weren’t open when we toured venues) and had originally went with the Hilton at NASA. After they cancelled my reception and room block the week after invites went out, we were 6 weeks out with no venue. No one had availability, luckily someone gave me Jennifer’s name and number and we crossed our fingers they had the date open. We went that very day to see the brand new space, as soon as I walked in I was in love.
Not only is the space beautiful, they put so much thought into every tiny detail. The bridal suite is just unbelievable. There’s just no other way to describe it. But what was even better was the staff was even more amazing than the venue - which is saying A LOT.
I can’t even imagine having our wedding without Amanda, she didn’t just make the day-of stress free (which I didn’t think was even possible), she made the weeks leading up to it easy as well. She reminded me of things I didn’t even know I had to do for the wedding, helped me track down vendors, and made sure everyone was on the same page. The day of the wedding my husband and I literally didn’t worry about a single thing - even if we tried she sent us away to have fun and let us know she had it handled.
My guests were blown away by the space, and the wedding looked a WHOLE LOT more expensive than it really was. We still have people commenting on how awesome the space and staff were.
Still Waters made a super stressful situation so incredibly fun, I still can’t believe we were only their 4th wedding - it felt like they’d been doing this for decades. I cannot recommend this venue enough. And as uncommon as this seems to be these days, their staff is even more amazing than this perfect venue they built.
If you want a stress-free wedding, and you want to actually enjoy this most important day and be able to soak it all in without worrying about a dang thing, then you need to be doing it at Still Waters. There isn’t a single thing we’d change about our wedding day, and that’s single-handedly the result of Jennifer and Amanda’s hard work.
Forget any other venue you may see, save yourself time and stress and just go with Still Waters, it’s worth every penny!
An absolutely STUNNING venue!! Everyone there is extremely kind and accommodating, would 10/10 recommend!!
My wedding at Still Waters Ranch was an absolute dream. We booked our wedding before the venue was built but we were sold as soon as we met the Tisdale family. Jennifer is an ANGEL. She is so sweet and she made every step of the process extremely easy for us. I was so impressed at how seamless everything was considering we were only the third wedding at Still Waters Ranch. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Not to mention the venue is GORGEOUS. We received so many compliments from guests and we really didn’t even have a whole lot of decoration - the venue really speaks for itself. Even though the venue is beautiful, the experience wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was without the lovely Tisdale family - they are the icing on the cake!
My husband and I were married at the BEAUTIFUL, NEW Still Waters Ranch Venue. The venue was built with so much thought from the details in the bridal and groom suites, to the open-air chapel, to the bar/coffee bar areas, to the beautiful farm doors in the reception hall, to the outdoor area including the lake and yard games, everything is absolutely stunning. The owner, Jennifer and her family and team are incredibly kind, welcoming, FUN, professional, helpful, and accommodating. We were the first event held at Still Waters Ranch and no one would have known it. Jennifer and her team put on our event like 100 others had taken place there before. Five stars is truly not enough to express how much we loved Still Waters Ranch. After having to reschedule our wedding from another venue in April 2020, we could not be more thankful to have crossed paths with Jennifer as we could not have imagined our wedding taking place anywhere else. We could go on and on about how much love we have for this venue and this family but simply said, it is a truly stunning space filled with love and beautiful farmhouse vibes and the owners have some of the biggest hearts! Our wedding was PERFECT because of Still Waters Ranch! Thank you for being such a huge part of our special day, we are so glad to have celebrated with you all! <3 The Thramers
