This place is absolutely gorgeous!!! From the venue,the cabins, and bridal suite! Just beautiful!! I loved that this place offered decorations to use for free, which helped take a load off mentally and financially. They even provide a bridal guide with recommendations for different vendors. I found our bartender and security with them. Michael was super helpful throughout the planning. If I had a question I’d email him and within an hour I had a response. Which helped with my anxiety! After the wedding we were able to have an after party over at the cabins, which we loved. It’s hard as a bride and groom to really hang out and relax. With so much going on and taking everything in, it’s just hard. So hanging out with friends afterwards without having to be pulled anywhere was nice. All in all it was an amazing experience! Thank you Chapel at Gruene for a beautiful night!

This place is awesome! They are very organized and on top of their stuff. We loved how budget friendly it was for all of the stuff you get with booking with them. The grounds are beautiful had plenty of room for our 66 guest wedding. Michael is wonderful and answered all my tedious questions leading up to the wedding. He even came and said hi and congrats to me and my husband after the ceremony, which we thought was so sweet. Michael and his team made the whole process very easy and I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to have a more intimate wedding and is on a budget.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision to have our wedding at The Chapel at Gruene! From the moment we first reached out, the responsiveness of their team was outstanding, especially Michael, the owner. He went above and beyond to ensure every detail was covered and that our day was absolutely perfect. The venue itself was pristine and immaculately maintained. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the chapel and how convenient everything was, from parking to the overnight accommodations.
The entire experience was seamless, thanks to the professionalism and warmth of the staff. We felt so cared for, and every step of the way, they made sure our vision came to life. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines charm, convenience, and top-tier service, The Chapel at Gruene is it! We couldn’t be happier with our choice, and our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more.

The Chapel at Gruene was the best decision my husband and I could have ever made. Michae's communication was spot on and it made the wedding planning process much easier, not to mention they have a TCG bridal guide once you book, that made planning so easy! Not only did it have planning tips and vendor recommendation lists but they offer a Decor List that you choose which decorations from their collections that you can use on your wedding day! This helped save a lot of costs and we were still able to have a beautifully decorated venue. Not to mention the best part, the Chapel at Gruene offers cottages to stay at for the night of (and possibly night before) the wedding! This allowed for my immediate family, bridal party and my husband and I were able to reminisce over the wedding day by the bonfire with our closest loved ones. Thank you so much for everything and the best wedding I could have asked for.

I cannot express enough how amazing The Chapel at Gruene is! From the moment we took the first tour, we knew this was the perfect venue for us. Originally envisioning an upscale backyard wedding with a relaxed ambiance, we were blown away by how The Chapel at Gruene exceeded all our expectations and more.
The venue itself is impeccably maintained and absolutely stunning. The beautiful decor provided by the venue received countless compliments from every guest. Michael, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with. Throughout the entire planning process, he was incredibly sweet and attentive. Michael, the owner, consistently checked in with us, offering his assistance and ensuring we felt supported. His willingness to accommodate our needs was truly heartwarming. For instance, he arranged for chairs in the first two rows instead of benches to accommodate a wheelchair, and even purchased a ramp so that my brother-in-law could easily access the groom's cottage. These gestures meant the world to us.
On the day of the wedding, Mike, the property manager, was invaluable. He ensured everything ran smoothly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, including personally driving me from the bridal suite to the chapel.
If you're searching for a venue where beauty meets exceptional service, look no further. The Chapel at Gruene not only offers breathtaking surroundings but also provides unparalleled support and peace of mind. It's simply the perfect place for a beautiful wedding day.

The Chapel at Gruene was the most perfect place to have my wedding. We got married on February 24, 2024 and the staff was amazing in helping and directing vendors on where to go. We are from San Antonio and felt like this venue was out of town and felt like a get away from the city but was also very close to the highway and hotels making it very convenient for our guests.
The Chapel and reception hall were stunning just as they were and needed very minimal decor.
The venue felt big enough for a wedding with both of our whole families but also felt very intimate.
My favorite part of the venue were the cottages that allowed us to spend the night. We did not feel rushed to end our perfect wedding day. We loved that our immediate family got to spend more time together and stay the night with us at the cottages.

I knew as soon as we stepped on The Chapel at Gruene property it was where we wanted to get married. The open air chapel, outdoor bar and cocktail hour space and reception hall are gorgeous and our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful everything was. Michael and his staff were absolutely amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day.

We had the most amazing experience at The Chapel at Gruene. It was the perfect venue for our intimate destination wedding of 90 guests. Everyone loved staying in Gruene, and the cabins were perfect for our local guests. The property was beautifully manicured, and the wildflowers were abundant during our March wedding! We had a more formal, sit-down, plated dinner. I was going for a whimsical, garden-party vibe, and I was initially worried whether the venue could provide the more formal atmosphere I was looking for. It totally did! It is not just for brides looking for a rustic venue! We had a magical night and our guests could not stop raving. Michael and his team did an excellent job ensuring that our night was perfect. Plus, we saved so much money because of the excellent decor collection! You won’t regret booking this venue!

Let me start by saying, the photos you see of The Chapel at Gruene just do no justice. The venue is absolutely beautiful in photo but in person it's just WOW! If you're looking for a turn-key venue, this is the venue for you. We got married a few weeks ago on March 10th and I cannot express how beautiful amd intimate our wedding day was at The Chapel at Gruene. I had so much help from Michael, day of, just getting any extra pieces from decor pulled and set up. The decor we used belonged to the Chapel and was so beautiful and easy to set up with how it was put together and organized for us to set up. The Chapel at Gruene was everything we hoped our venue would be, everything we envisioned the day would look like. The bridal suite, the cottages, the grounds just everything was very beyond beautiful!

The Chapel at Gruene was such a beautiful venue to host our wedding.
There are so many features that made this venue perfect for us.
The chapel where we had the ceremony is an open air chapel which allowed for the natural beauty to do the majority of the decorating.
When you walk into the reception hall you are greeted by a breathtaking candle lit fire place, and grand chandeliers, tied together with rustic butcher tables which gave a very romantic atmosphere.
Michael and his staff put so much thought into the venue itself to remove any stress from us.
The bridal suite had everything a bride would need to get ready.
TCG offered a wide selection of decor that was included into the cost of the venue, which saved me literally thousands of dollars.
TCG was has 4 different whimsical cabins that slept my entire wedding party the night of.
TCG also included informational guide that covered everything. This helped me find all of our vendors from hair and makeup, Bartending and catering.
I couldn’t believe how much this venue had to offer and the price was so affordable.

This venue was so perfect for us! They were so accommodating and helpful. Our questions were always answered quickly and they were quick to solve any problem we had. My most favorite part was that the cottages on the property came with the price for the venue so my family could stay the night of the wedding for no extra cost. Also they had a décor collection that we could borrow from (at no extra cost) that saved us a ton of money! The venue was just so beautiful and well kept and fit our vision perfectly. I highly recommend to anyone who is considering this venue to go with them. I have no complaints.

Hello y’all! I just want to make a quick and honest shoutout for the Chapel at Gruene!! We had our wedding here on 01.28.2024.
The owners and property manager responded very quickly to any questions, and to set up tours. (I work the night shift and they were still responding to me in the middle of the night lol!)
They are very upfront about the prices (honestly very affordable!!)
The venue itself is always beautiful. They just planted new flowers before my wedding. The grass is always green and landscaping is just amazing.
Our day of coordinator- Micheal- was super helpful and flexible. We last minute needed more tables and a change of candles, and Micheal handled it immediately. He also balanced dealing with any requests from other bridal party members and always referred to me. He really understands that this is one of the most important days of people’s lives and respects that.
Overall, I was so grateful to have the venue of my dreams, with literally zero hiccups. What an amazing crew of people to work with.
(We also got lots of compliments about our venue!!)

Our wedding at The Chapel at Gruene was nothing short of magical! The setting was absolutely stunning and the charming cabins that added a unique touch to the entire experience.
What made our day truly special was the incredible service provided by the venue's team. From the beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. The event staff were not only professional but also passionate, making us feel like cherished guests rather than just clients.
The cabins were a highlight, providing cozy and fun accommodations for us and our wedding party. Having comfortable lodging on-site added a wonderful, intimate touch to our wedding weekend.
In summary, we highly recommend The Chapel to couples looking for a dream wedding venue. The stunning setting, attentive staff, and delightful cabins create an unforgettable experience. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for, thanks to the amazing team.

The Chapel at Gruene was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. The picturesque setting of the venue created a magical backdrop for our special day. The rustic elegance of the venue added a touch of romance that perfectly complemented the joyous atmosphere.

The Chapel at Gruene provided us with an enchanting setting, a professional and dedicated staff, and an overall experience that exceeded our expectations. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, thanks to the wonderful team at The Chapel at Gruene. Also having a New Years wedding was 100% the move and we went out with a bang for sure!

I got married here 7/22/23 and it was amazing. the venue is so beautiful (we got so many compliments on how gorgeous it is), it is a great price, and everyone that works there is so kind and helpful. Plus they have decorations included that helped save so much money, and made it super convenient to not have to transport everything. I love that the cottages are included in the price, we had our wedding party and family with kids stay at the cottages so they didn't have to worry about driving. I never had to wait a long time for a response, they were very communicative. We had 85 guests and there was so much room for the dance floor without feeling like empty/wasted space! it was everything i wanted from a venue for my wedding!!! I am so glad I chose them

Michael, Emily, and Shelby are AMAZING! And of course, the venue! We did a blind booking because we lived out of state at the time. We were worried about just going off pictures. Shelby offered to do a FaceTime tour, which was an amazing idea that hadn’t even crossed my mind.
The decor that comes with the booking saved us so much money and time! That was probably the best thing in my opinion.
My husband would say the cabins. There are 4 cottages on the grounds for ya’ll to stay overnight. So you don’t have to worry about people drinking and driving!
We had our wedding in May. So it was hot. But the reception room AC was a relief to come into. Not to mention it is gorgeous! Fireplace with a mantle, and the chandeliers from the ceiling, just amazing.
Back to Michael, Emily, and Shelby. They are so awesome with communication. Answer texts, calls, and emails the same day. Most of the time within an hour! I had a lot of questions when I was going along planning, so I did email quite a few times. All of them in more than a timely manner. They are super friendly and do whatever they can to work with you.
All in all, everyone had a blast! The outdoor games were great for kids, the lounge chairs under the trees, and that night we ended up making s’mores over the fire pit. They have a s’more kit and oatmeal, granola, and other snacks. The Keurig provided with k cups came in handy the next morning for everyone in the cabins.
The venue is GORGEOUS and having people that love what they do make it even better.

We cannot speak highly enough of this amazing venue! We live in Washington and planning a wedding in Texas was a potentially overwhelming idea, however, the team at Chapel at Gruene made it so easy. Their “Bride Guide” is a LIFE SAVER!! We found all our vendors and had all our questions answered in one easy place. They thought through things I didn’t, had amazing communication and timelines, and were so friendly and helpful along the way. I have been a part of quite a few weddings and they staff truly made it seamless for us, I’ve never experienced anything like it! The chapel and reception hall were PERFECT and the cottages were just what we needed. Everything was decorated and clean and organized. The most beautiful backdrop for all our photos.
HIGHLY recommend this venue, you will not be disappointed!

The Chapel at Gruene is a beautiful venue for a wedding. It was the perfect aesthetic for my daughter's wedding and reception, exactly what she was looking for. The fact that you have the chapel for the wedding, a beautiful hall for the reception and cottages on the property for the bride, groom, and families to stay the night makes this an exceptional venue. Everyone there was professional, kind and so accommodating to all our request.

We had our daughter’s wedding at this venue on June 10, 2023. Not only was this a beautiful place to have a wedding, but the owners and manager were very friendly and exceptional in providing ideas and guidance during the planning. They always responded immediately to any question I had. The service they provided was top notch. Everything ran smoothly that day, because of the way they run their business. The reception hall was decorated beautifully with the décor that they provide. The four cottages that they have on the premises were so convenient for family to stay and continue the party. I give this place an A+++ and highly recommend it to anyone planning an intimate wedding.

The kids were able to run around the complex safely while mom and dad were bustin’ a move on the dance floor.

As a wedding and elopement planner, I love the Chapel at Gruene! They have everything you need from a beautiful indoor reception area and an outdoor open air chapel and cocktail area with on-site lodging. The venue itself is very close to town and attractions. The event team is great at answering all of my questions and is always quick to respond! I highly recommend them!

This venue cannot be recommended enough! The Chapel at Gruene staff was so amazing. From the moment we first contacted them they were excellent communicators and also very informative. Their Bride Guide is an essential piece of planning. The decor collection they provide is absolutely stunning. The way they worked with us to have all the decor we needed was truly above and beyond. We were in awe at how beautiful the venue was during the wedding, the lights outside the venue made it a dreamscape. Their chapel is romantic, and their reception hall is intimate and very modern. To top it off their cottages are very comfy and allowed us and our guests to have an after party where we could just unwind and celebrate with an intimate group. We could not have asked for a better day, and The Chapel at Gruene was a big part of it.

Excellent place for wedding. Small and cozy. Owners accommodated each and every need of my sister and my soon to be brother in law. They worked extra hard to make their day special by offering the reception room because of all the rain. The cabins were heavenly and we could all tell that the owners took their time in picking each piece for the rooms. Highly recommend this wedding venue!!

We did not consider any other venues after seeing this property. It is beautiful. We had 60 guests, and Chapel at Gruene was perfect for our needs. Our families stayed in the cottages and had a mini-reunion at our wedding.
Our wedding was in October and still warm. Bring your own bottled water as there was none supplied in the cottages.
The owner, Michael, and the planner, Shelby, did an outstanding job. We hired many of their recommended vendors. We could not have been happier with the results! Our guests were impressed and we keep hearing good comments about the event and the venue.

It was the first and only venue I looked at. Shelby was so amazing with helping me with my endless questions. I was worried with how many people I had coming cause it was going to be a tight squeeze in the reception hall and she helped make it turn out perfect! We had plenty of room! The venue is the perfect place to get married if you want an intimate wedding with around 100-110 people! I can’t tell you how many people told me how perfect the day was! We even left stuff behind on accident and they just kindly put it to the side until we came to get it. The venue and the owners are amazing! It was a dream of a day, that I would relive it over and over if I could. The venue was exactly what I wanted.

When we started to look for a venue we realized that the reception halls in San Antonio just weren’t cutting it. Especially in an affordable price range. We stumbled upon this venue here on the knot and decided why not! When we went out to tour the venue we were greeted by two very friendly faces. One of them being the owner of the property, Michael. They instantly made us feel comfortable and not pressured into the decision. After saying yes to this venue they continued to have impeccable communication and answered all of my random questions. At our wedding we once again were greeted by the owner and his family. One of his sons even asked if he could help me cary anything in. It was truly a wonderful experience to have such a hands on owner. If you’re looking for a beautiful and intimate venue that allows you to pick your own vendors so you can control your budget I HIGHLY recommend them. The future plans are to visit the site and stay the night for every anniversary from here on out. What other venue has the opportunity to relive your memories each year? I will be forever great full for Michael, his beautiful family and venue coordinator Shelby.

The venue itself is beautiful and with the new reception hall it was the perfect all in one spot for us. The cottages were perfect for after the wedding and our family and guests loved every minute of it. The owner and staff were all so kind and accommodating. They could easily be reached and were very helpful for finding other vendors. It’s a real gem.

The Chapel at Gruene is one of the most beautiful venues I have ever seen! We recently got married in September and the Reception Hall was complete and Michael just added an extended patio by the bar. The venue is so beautiful just by itself, you barely need flowers. We stayed in the cabins a few days before the wedding with our family (15 total) and had so much fun! We had around 114 people attend our wedding and Michael and Emily was able to accommodate the large crowd beautifully. This venue is so perfect and the owners, Michael and Emily, just add to it! Highly recommend The Chapel at Gruene for your big day!

The Chapel at Gruene was not only a bargain, but a dream! It provided the small, intimate wedding we were searching for. Additionally, Michael, the owner, is more than welcoming. He wanted our day to be perfect, and went above and beyond in communicating and ensuring that everything was just the way we envisioned. 11/10 would absolutely recommend anyone's wedding be here.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous! Small and quaint and still stunning. We loved it from the first time we stepped onto the property. Michael was great to work with and patient with all of our questions. Everything was seamless and easy, he was easy to communicate with as well. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful it all came together! We didn’t need to go over the top with decorations as the venue stood out on its own. There wasn’t more that we could have asked for or imagined for our special day. Thanks so much for allowing us to enjoy the property!

My husband and I first visited the venue a year before our wedding. And as soon as we first came onto the property, we immediately knew it was the one! And it's only grown to be more beautiful over time.
From the chapel's open walls concept, the immaculate landscaping, to the absolutely stunning reception hall, everything will astound you and your guests. It is the perfect blend of elegant and elevated, but not stuffy and too formal that guests won't feel comfortable letting loose. Having the cottages reserved for the night was a huge plus, as a few friends, family, and my partner and I spent the evening by the firepit and we could turn in whenever we choose to.
The owner, Michael, and the venue manager, Shelby, were as amazing as the grounds. We met Michael back last October and the love and pride he takes in his venue shows with his dedication and responsiveness. He is excellent with communication and is so helpful with questions (and I had A LOT of questions). Shelby was hired towards the end countdown of our wedding, but she was sure to impress us with her professionalism, her adaptability, and her keen eye to even the smallest details. She was so amazingly kind and Michael could not have put his venue in better hands!
All in all, my partner and I loved our day and we feel incredibly honored to have been able to host it at the the Chapel at Gruene. Shelby, your support both before and after the day was so appreciated, and I cannot thank you enough. Michael, I hope you and your family continue to be proud of your venue, it is incredible!

Hands down the best wedding venue in the New Braunfels area! The on-site cottages were a game changer and were so incredibly nice inside and out. The venue itself is stunning and was the perfect canvas for us to bring in the colors and vibe we were wanting. Michael was so helpful before the wedding and especially during! He checked in with me multiple times day of to make sure everything was going smoothly. We got so many compliments from guests about the venue and a handful of people telling us to have another wedding so they could come out to The Chapel at Gruene again lol. Can’t say enough good things about this place, it will forever have a special place in my heart!
