Weddings have been my dream since college! Years later I have been blessed with a beautiful wedding venue; and I get to pursue my passions every day. I designed the gardens myself, in my favorite style (European)! It really is quite different from the standard hill country look. I'm a big plant nerd, and tend to be super optimistic and energetic. I love the experience of getting to know every bride and groom, and help make their day truly perfect. I hope I see you soon!

I wish I could give 10/10!
Amy and the Gardens of Cranesbury view will have a special place in our hearts! The venue is beautiful! I can't imagine picking another venue. The walk down the isle was amazing and I love how long it is. The reception hall is gorgeous and has so much room. I could go on and on. This is the place to get married.

We had amazing time at The Gardens of Cranesbury View! Our venue was so beautiful and we had a great time the Chateaus! Amy was very helpful and very knowledgeable about her business. They have steamer ready in each Chateau and private entrance. The pool was fun and inviting!
Our complaints were that we had problems with bees by the property. Chateaus complains were the AC was leaking in one of chateau and All the outdoor light by the chateaus were turned off after 1 AM (estimate time) forcing people to stop hangout outside. They had a lot of spike balls by the swimming pool and I stepped on it (no harm but it was painful, my FIL had to carry me and pick out all the spike balls. It was my fault for walking barefoot). Bring shampoo and soap because they don’t provide a lot at the chateau. There were many bees around the property, was told they were harmless but I (the bride) end up got stung on my arm during first look. (Good thing I was not allergic to bees) We had food and drink out by the pool, bar and cocktails hour, we had to throw away because of the bees. Especially during cocktail hour, we had people wanted more food but they were all scared to come close to the food table plus the bees were all over the food and we had to throw away a lot of the foods and drinks.
Any questions?

This venue is something out of a fairytale, especially when the garden is blooming, and the bridal portraits and pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous. Amy keeps it absolutely immaculate and was so helpful with the planing process. I really appreciated the fact that she has so many vendor recommendations who she knows and trusts, it made things so much easier. Choosing this venue was a big part of what made our special day so special!

This venue surpassed all our expectations and made our wedding so magical. We were living out of state when we first started planning our wedding and moved back to Texas shortly after our engagement. So my parents had to tour the venue for us initially, and Amy was so understanding and extremely helpful despite our long distance. She honesty was the reason our wedding planning went so smoothly, she offered a list of vendors she recommends and had such wonderful insight. She has years of wedding knowledge/ experience that made the difference in the quality of our wedding. I trust and value her services beyond compare.
Every interaction with Amy exuded professionalism and warmth. The communication throughout the planning process was exceptional. The staff at The Gardens of Cranesbury View were always prompt in responding to our inquiries and accommodated every request with grace and efficiency. They guided us through every step, ensuring that no detail was overlooked, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The quality of service provided by The Gardens of Cranesbury View is truly unmatched. The venue itself is stunning, with meticulously maintained gardens that provided a picturesque backdrop for our ceremony and reception. If you want your wedding to feel straight out of a period piece, look no further. The attention to detail in the setup was impeccable, creating an ambiance that was both elegant and inviting. On the day of our wedding, everything flowed seamlessly thanks to the expertise of their staff. From coordinating vendors to ensuring that our guests were well taken care of, they handled everything with professionalism and a genuine desire to make our day special. We cannot recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury View highly enough. If you're searching for a venue that combines natural beauty with exceptional service and a team that truly cares about making your day perfect, look no further than The Gardens of Cranesbury View. They turned our wedding dreams into a reality, and for that, we are forever grateful.

I had my beautiful wedding at the Gardens of Cranesbury View. From the breath taking scenic views to the cleanliness of the venue. The owner has been so accommodating to my family, my husband, and I. I had asked her so many questions and she responded promptly with lots of great details! The little French Village is such a great touch! My bridal party and family were able to stay on site and get ready there before the wedding. We had about 16 people staying there and there were still so many chateaus available to rent. We were all able to play volleyball and cook at the pool the night before our wedding and we had a blast!! The day of she is on site to make sure everything is running smoothly. She was an absolute joy to work with. She always made me so welcomed. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

The Gardens offers a unique experience with the sculptured gardens. My daughter knew when she saw the Gardens that this was what she was looking for. The Gardens offers an outdoor ceremony site that is absolutely beautiful and offered a sunset that only enhanced her wedding photos. The reception hall offered an open setting for dancing, mingling, and overall fun. Vendors had easy access to set up and break down at the end of the night. Amy was a huge help when I had questions and helped me navigate quite a few details. The Gardens is a beautiful site for a wedding. I highly recommend the Gardens as a wedding venue.

Finding a venue was so overwhelming for me until I found the Gardens of Cranesbury View. Everything about this venue is welcoming, elegant and designed for the perfect day! The best part about this venue is the owner, Amy. Amy is a wealth of knowledge and she goes above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. The months leading up to wedding I called Amy many times to discuss details. She was always wonderful and helpful. When I booked this venue, I thought I was just getting a gorgeous venue however I got a beautiful experience with Amy supporting and cheering me through the planning process!

We had such an amazing experience at this venue! Amy was so great to work with. She was extremely easy to talk to, very hospitable, and quick to respond.

My daughter recently had the pleasure of getting married at The Gardens of Cranesbury View, and I can't say enough good things about this venue. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with rolling hills, lush gardens, and stunning views of the Texas Hill Country. The ballroom is elegant and spacious, and Amy is incredibly helpful and accommodating.
We had a small wedding, but The Gardens of Cranesbury View was able to accommodate us perfectly. They were flexible with our schedule and were happy to work with us to create a personalized wedding day that was perfect for us.Timing was a challenge as my daughter was graduating college from out of state and preparing to move over seas.
On the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. Amy was on top of everything, and made sure that our guests had a wonderful time. The drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere was simply magical.
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue, and we would highly recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury View to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding day.
Here are some specific things that I appreciated about The Gardens of Cranesbury View:

My wife and I had our wedding at The Gardens in late April 2023 and had a fantastic experience both staying in the Chateaus on the grounds, enjoying the beautiful grounds and amenities, and the main event space. Amy is communicative, very knowledgeable and kind, and even welcomed us and some of our guests the day we arrived on-site! The venue is absolutely gorgeous with a nice variety of spaces for people to explore and enjoy. To speak to Amy's responsiveness, we had a crazy heavy rain and thunderstorm the evening before our wedding which led to one of the windows in a chateau leaking--most of our guests were Texans well familiar with pouring rain, so we set some towels down, let Amy know, and kept celebrating! Amy and her staff were there first thing in the morning refinishing the window. We loved staying in the chateaus and are so grateful that we could enjoy this stunning, well-considered space with such a warm host. Thank you so much!

I can not get over this venue!!!! From the moment we toured it in January 2021 I knew this was the place we were going to to get married! The place is absolutely amazing, the pictures just don’t do it justice. In person being there does not feel like we are still in Texas. Amy was incredibly amazing during the process. She allowed us to do our engagement photos and allowed me to do my bridal portraits. My whole wedding day felt like I was in a fairytale. We have gotten so many compliments about our wedding and how lovely the venue was.
We also stayed on property in the big house and the chateaus. Which I highly recommend because being with family and friends that weekend made it such a great weekend being altogether. We did have a slight problem with the fridge but Amy was so quick to fix it and the fridge was completely working by the morning. Amy was always there if we needed something and quick to fix it. I would highly recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury to anyone that wants a fairytale garden for a wedding!

The Gardens of Cranesbury View was the second venue that we toured and we absolutely fell in love with it the moment we saw the venue. After talking with Amy, we decided to get married here and had Amy as our wedding coordinator. Amy helped us every step of the way. The big day came and Amy made it as stress free for us as possible. The wedding went smoothly and we appreciate Amy with all her help. The venue was a big hit for our guests. Definitely recommended!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue. From the very first picture I saw on the internet, I was in love. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and they are meticulously maintained. Whatever season you visit, there’s beauty all around. Amy, the owner and coordinator is one of a kind. She took care of me and my husband from the first email I sent asking to tour the venue. She was there to answer every question I had, venue-related or not, and the day of the wedding she was such an incredible blessing to my husband and me. She helped everyone get ready like it was her own family’s wedding. You will not regret having your event here!

I had my wedding on January 9, 2021 & let me say Mrs. Amy Templeton is the absolute best to work with! With her experience & expertise in elegance (& excellence), she brought SO much peace to my mom & I throughout the entire planning process. I had to plan my wedding from 1,000 miles away, but that didn’t stop Mrs. Amy from always communicating with me! We were able to visit the venue whenever we needed to be sure we had all the details put together. But the venue...the Garden is so beautiful you need little to no decorations whatsoever. Every guest loved it just as much as we did. Go see it for yourself & you’ll understand!
My family/wedding party was also the first to stay in the AirBnb & it was perfect. Mrs. Amy is so detail-oriented, so we weren’t missing anything! The convenience of staying on property was unmatched to any other venue...I can’t imagine having my wedding any other way! We had everything we needed or forgot we needed 10 steps away from us versus having to drive 45 minutes across town. And to add, the beauty of having the AirBnb all weekend (& a late Sunday checkout) with my family & friends gave us so much time to bond & love each other after being apart for so long. We got to set up a day early, & were not rushed out the door to tear everything down afterwards. If you can make the AirBnb happen, do it!
Even during a pandemic, my wedding was a huge success & dream come true!!! Thank you, Mrs. Amy, for everything you do to make the Gardens so uniquely beautiful & for helping every bride feel so special. You will always hold a special place in our hearts & memories. 6 out of 5 stars, I HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Amy & the Gardens for your wedding & other special occasions (we will be back for my dad’s retirement)!

I honestly don’t know where to begin to talk about how absolutely fantastic it was to work with Amy and having my daughter’s wedding at this venue this past weekend. Forgive me if my thoughts seem all over the place... it was just that great of an experience!!! We were the first family to AirBnB the Bridal House and it was worth every penny. My daughter and I met Amy at Bridal Expo back in Jan of 2020 and made an immediate connection with her and once we toured the venue my daughter didn’t want to look anywhere else. The AirBnB house sleeps 20 and offered enough sleeping rooms for the entire bridal party and a few family members. All of the beds were queens or larger. Everything was clean and organized fully stocked linens and towels! Amy even left champagne, orange juice and eggs in the fridge for us. The convenience of being able to stay on-site for the weekend pays for itself. Our coordinator was able to do a lot of pre-decorating on Friday night, our bridal party didn’t have to have hotel rooms or rental cars. As a Mom my heart and mind was at ease because no one was driving home late after the reception was over. Amy’s attention to detail is impeccable. There was never a time that she wasn’t available to answer our questions or concerns during the last 12 months of planning. Even in the midst of COVID she reassured us along the way even having security on the ready taking temperatures before entry. And keeping with CDC guidance along the way. My husband was so happy with everything that he’s considering using the venue again for his upcoming Military retirement. It was very evident to us from jump that Amy loves God and loves people. Her passion for this industry shines through throughout the venue and the Bridal House. We didn’t have to leave the property at all until it was time to check out. If you’re looking for a venue that truly has everything... look no further. Amy has become like family to us now and we are so grateful to have made the connection with her. All of our family and friends were thoroughly impressed with The Gardens of Cranesbury View. The great experience of this past weekend will forever be solidified in our hearts. ♥️♥️♥️

This venue is absolutely stunning. We had our wedding here 11/14 and loved it. We hired the owner of the venue, Amy, as our coordinator and are so glad we did. She worked so hard behind the scenes keeping the schedule tight so that we could enjoy our day worry free. She also has a list of preferred vendors, we chose a majority of them for our wedding and they were all amazing. I can’t say enough great things about this venue and the people who run it, they gave me literally the best day of my life.

Absolutely stunning setting for our wedding, could not have been happier! When we first visited TGCV we were immediately taken with the grounds and how lovely and well maintained the gardens were. We were determined to stick to our budget and Amy helped us select a wedding date and day that would meet our pricing, and gave us a list of vendors to use--all of whom were professional and reasonably priced. After a lot of searching and price checking, we booked Amy for her coordinating services as well which was really the key to how exceptional our day was. We were able to drop items/decorations off early to alleviate same day stresses, she asked for our vision on the things we were specific about and used her years of experience to fill in the rest and perfectly captured the feeling we wanted for our day. We had a large wedding party but she was still able to move quickly and professionally through the rehearsal with our rowdy crew. The wedding day went like literal clockwork and it was breathtaking to see the stunning grounds set up in the way my fiance and I had imagined. Every detail was tended to which made our day completely carefree and Amy kept things running smoothly. Our guests absolutely loved being able to tour the gardens throughout the evening. I can't possibly recommend this venue or this vendor as highly as they deserve, by the time your wedding day is done you will know just as we did that this was the best decision you could've made!

When we visited the Gardens of Cranesbury View for the first time, we instantly knew this was the venue for us! Everything about the gardens is absolutely beautiful. I love how the entire venue displays the beauty of God's creation. I also love the European style set in the Texas hill country. Even one of our guests from Italy said it was the most beautiful wedding venue he has ever seen! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect, even in the midst of a pandemic! We chose Amy as our wedding coordinator as well, and she did an amazing job creating the wedding of our dreams. Because of her we didn't have to worry about all the little details; she took care of everything so we wouldn't have to! I feel so blessed we had Amy's expertise, and I'm so thankful we chose the Gardens of Cranesbury View!

The Gardens of Cranesbury View is an amazing venue and it was the perfect setting for our wedding and reception. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our outdoor ceremony was, how wonderful the suggested vendors were, and how much fun they had in the gardens. This is all thanks to Amy and her team!
The venue has recently finished large renovations since we booked our date and all changes were for the best! Groomsmen now have the entirety of the lower floor in the main house, while the bride and bridesmaids have their run of the top level (including the balcony). The ceremony site has also been given some TLC, with a walkway and surrounding greenery. Additionally, Amy offers many decorations for rent, a concise and helpful list of vendors, tips and tricks to best use her venue, and complimentary roaming chickens. :D
Amy truly cares about her venue and desires to improve upon it with each and every booking. She lives and breathes weddings, so be ready to match your excitement to hers! You’ll be glad to have Amy on your side and to have this amazing piece of Texas hill country in your memories.
Thank you for everything!

If we could do it all again, we would choose The Gardens of Cranesbury View every single time. Miss Amy and her team have created a beautiful European style garden and reception hall. It truly was our dream wedding and we could not ask for more. I cannot recommend the coordinator package enough. Miss Amy made sure everything ran smoothly. It took so much stress off of me, my husband, the wedding party, and our parents. Weddings are wonderful, but they are certainly stressful. Miss Amy made sure everything went as planned and directed things beautifully. Thank you to Amy and her team! I would absolutely recommend this venue and the coordinator package.

Amy takes amazing care of her clients. My guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, and my mother commented on how everything during the wedding went smoothly because she was our wedding coordinator.
She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was set up correctly for the wedding. At our 30 day meeting, she asked a lot of questions that I forgot to think about for the wedding, like appetizers during cocktail hour!
She also took time to set up the decorations beautifully, just the way that I wanted it. She's very detail oriented, responsible, and overall just "on top of everything".
Furthermore, she's a local business that supports and recommends other local businesses around New Braunfels/San Antonio areas. I recommend her venue to the fullest.

We loved this venue so much that we booked it not only for our first daughter‘s wedding, but for our second daughter‘s wedding as well only four weeks apart. Amy, George and Hunter are absolutely the best! Amy is so patient with all of our questions, and really keeping us on track with both weddings as they were so close together. Amy did an outstanding job on making sure that each wedding day for our family ran on schedule and it was such a professional in dealing with our vendors. She has this down to a science and you are in good hands when booking this venue. I paid for coordinating services for both weddings and it was worth every single cent! Amy has such a great eye for flower design, I absolutely fell in love with the bouquets that she made and all of the centerpiece arrangements, in addition to the ceremony arrangements on the gazebo. Hunter is so dedicated to all the little details and on the wedding day I never saw her take a break, sure she did but I just didn’t see it. And George, what a sweetheart! The best bartender, very funny, and personable, but also responsible in making sure that his guests are safe. I cannot say enough of how much I am grateful for Amy and her staff and all that they do for their clients on such an important day.

Where to begin. Mrs Amy is such an amazing coordinator. You feel like you are apart of her family with the hospitality she provides. I felt like we were in great hands the entire process. I love plans and timelines and to have her on the same page, was fantastic. She is always upbeat and happy but very professional. Her gardens are spectacular and the rose bushes were in bloom on our wedding day. If you’re lucky, you might even get to see a chicken!:) I have only great things to say about the Gardens of Cranesbury View!! It was the wedding of my dreams.

Amy, my mom, and I planned my wedding for about year and it was exactly how I dreamed it would be. Amy has everything written down to the most finite details including types of flowers, names of the bridal party, everything you can think of and she'll take care it. Her venue is gorgeous and a little slice of bliss in the hill country. As a planner, I felt comfortable and secure with her and she handled every wedding hiccup amazingly. In other words: she. gets. it. done. I appreciate that she gives you a full price list of everything you can include or exclude; I like having it out in the open to be able to look at options and asses what you need and don't need. Thank you, Amy, for letting us get married at your venue and for coordinating everything.

During our first tour and meeting with Amy, I felt extremely comfortable and stress free! I knew she would really listen to our wants and desires for our wedding day, and jump through hoops to make it happen. She's in all of the little details, and is constantly touching base with you. Her staff is well prepared also, and very respectful. The venue is located on top of a hill so you get a beautiful view of the country as well as a good breeze while in the gardens or near the Gazebo. Amy's bright spirit will light up your day, even if you're going through wedding stresses. There is no venue coordinator like Amy. And there is no venue like the Gardens of Cranesbury View.

This venue is absolutely amazing! I had my wedding in April and I still have people tell me how beautiful my wedding ceremony was and how much they enjoyed it. I visited over 10 venues before picking this one and I am so glad I did. Working with Amy was an incredible experience. Her entire staff is so pleasant and helpful. She really takes all the stress out of planning a wedding. She’s meticulous and is willing to go out of her way to make sure your day is perfect. She’s also super cheerful and a genuinely caring person and is the kind of person you want in charge of your wedding. I was the type of bride who had no idea what I was doing, or all the details that encompass a wedding, and Amy helped me with envisioning my perfect wedding and brought it all to life with ease. She’s one of the best in the business and I can say that confidently based on my experience with her and based on what other vendors have said (even when I visited other venues and mentioned her, her competitors told me she was amazing). I was nervous about having an outside ceremony in April (because of the Texas heat) but there is something magical about this place where there’s a nice breeze and everyone was comfortable. I got my wedding pictures a few weeks ago and can’t get over how beautiful the scenery is at this venue. You have to visit the venue in person! I would definitely recommend this venue if you want beautiful scenery and want to work with someone who is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and helpful.

Amy and her team are absolutely phenomenal. The gardens really are just breathtaking (plus, CHICKENS!). Amy knows how to have a beautiful wedding. She takes care of her couples and guests as if they were in her own home. She takes such pride and care in everything she does. You can tell this isn't just a job to her, it's a passion. Our wedding was an absolute dream because of her dedication and commitment to beauty.
Thank you for everything!

Amy was bright and energetic from the start. We hired her on as our coordinator and she kept us on track even when we were behind. She has good recommendations for vendors, which was huge help. The venue is breathtaking and is a unique gem in the hill country. If you want something different that will take people's breath away, this is the location. With Amy's guidance our wedding day was perfect and flowed seamlessly. She is truly passionate about what she does and will help make your special day just that.

My experience was flawless. Amy, Sarah and the entire team is worth every penny. I found out weeks later from my friends of funky things that happened that would have sent any bride into tears, but not with Amy. My best example is that my top tier cake was damaged at some point and I had no idea because the years of experience Amy brings to your event made the experience FLAWLESS! My husband and I loved the venue and our guests had a wonderful time. I wish I could do it all over again.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! My wedding was flawless. My husband & I loved- every. single. second. Amy & her team did an OUTSTANDING job of making sure everything ran smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend Amy as your wedding coordinator. It is worth every single penny. Starting from her positive attitude during the initial tour to {FAST FORWARD} a year later- big hugs & love during the send off- Amy never missed a beat. She spent time & effort getting to know our families & their cultures. She took careful notes & took special attention to detail. Amy knows EXACTLY what she is doing & her coordination helps keep you on track. Amy's coordination definitely helped us plan our perfect wedding day. We both worked full time during the planning of our wedding & Amy was always there to answer questions & assure us that we were on the right track. She does an amazing job of getting in touch with your vendors, as well as, offering tips to ensure a smooth day. We fell in love with the venue & will always have this special place in our hearts. Amy & Sarah were just incredibly sweet to every single guest. We had the wedding of our dreams & couldn't ask for anymore. We've been married a little over 3 weeks & not a day has gone by where we don't talk about our wedding & the fun we had. Our guests also have continuously mentioned to us how much fun they had & how beautiful the venue was. Thank you, Amy, Sarah, & Gardens of Cranesbury Team! Cheers to you!

I had the pleasure of working with Amy and her assistant for almost a year as we planned my dream wedding. I highly recommend using her as a wedding coordinator,as well as a florist. She did beautiful work with all of the flowers and takes such pride in making sure every detail is perfect. It also rained the entire day of my wedding and I have no idea what I would've done without having her making sure everything ran as smoothly as it possibly could. Thank you Amy for helping make my vision come to life!

Amy and her staff were impeccable. They were very good with communication, customer service and flexibility with appts. I would highly recommend this venue if you’re getting married. Amy definitely prides herself with the upkeep of her venue and it definitely shows. Our guests were very impressed with this venue as were my husband and I. It’s a bit pricey but definitely worth it if you’re looking to have the wedding of your dreams!

This is an amazing venue! Amy and her staff absolutely bend over backwards to ensure that every single detail of the rehearsal, wedding and reception are covered. We could not be more pleased with the way the wedding turned out and the treatment we received from the staff! Absolutely gorgeous location, the reception room will fit a HUGE wedding party and the facilities are clean, well taken care of and beautiful. Thank you Amy and your staff for making our son's special day a remarkable memory!

I attended two separate weddings at this venue and I fell in love. When my wife and I got engaged, this was a must for us. It's beautiful and amazing; from the gardens to the reception area, everything is gorgeous. Amy was just the icing on top as she made everything perfect. My wife, who is typically a little neurotic, did not worry about a thing. I always like to be in control of what's happening, and I had no worries about handing over all the responsibility over to Amy. She handled every issue we threw her way with ease and an admirable grace.
Amy went consistently above and beyond to make our wedding the special day we dreamed of. She was always so excited to talk to us, to hear about our wedding plans, and to offer up suggestions when we were unsure. It's very clear she loves what she does and it shows in her work. From discreetly dealing with family issues, to making sure our fears were eased, she did beyond what we asked for.
I loved everything about planning our wedding. Everyone we know complains about how hard it is planning a wedding, but with Amy's help I would gladly do it all again. Absolutely a fantastic celebration. Everything about our experience was perfect; from the scenery, to the schedule, and the crazy looking chickens.

The Gardens of Cranesbury view was everything we were looking for in a wedding venue. It was our first and last stop as we knew as soon as we spoke with Amy and saw the venue this was the place for us. The pictures are gorgeous from both our guest and our photographer. Amy and her staff did nothing but accommodate us and make our day special, which they did. I would highly recommend this venue for any event, but especially for a wedding. The guest enjoyed walking throughout the Garden. The food was amazing by the Garden's preferred vendors and the guest left very full and satisfied. Hurry up and book because this venue books fast! Thank you Amy & Sarah for making my wedding day perfect and so memorable!

The Wedding of my dreams!! I went to the Bridal Extravaganza with hopes of finding a venue. I found several that I wanted to see, with The Gardens of Cranesbury at the top of my list. When I got home my 2 maid of honors and I went through each flyer. At the top of Amy's flyer I wrote "She has her stuff in order!" (with several stars and smiley faces) Amy was so calm at the Extravaganza; when other vendors are barking at you to come look at their booth; she was calming and pleasant. Amy's venue was the first venue my fiancé and I looked at. Amy gave me a tour of the facility and it was breathtaking. It was everything I had hoped for. She took me down the path that I would be walking with my father and I couldn't hold back the tears. It just felt right! We looked at 3 other venues, but none of them gave me the same feeling as I did at The Gardens of Cranesbury View. To top it all off, I used Amy as my venue, florist and coordinator. She made planning a wedding easy!! With the coordinator package she told me exactly what I needed to be doing and when, what outside vendors she recommended and took all the stress off of me. The flowers were gorgeous!! From the bouquets to the flower arrangements on the table and the gazebo, it was stunning and the pictures turned out beautiful. Many guests told me that I looked like a page right out of Alice in Wonderland. Amy and her staff comes highly recommended!!!

Amy, it was great knowing you were in our corner. Living so far away from the event was definitely not an advantage for me. You gave me the confidence to know that everything would be taken care of and thank you for that. Everything was absolutely beautiful. Even the weather cooperated. :-) I know my baby girl was well pleased.
I can't wait for the pictures to be ready so I can another look. So much of the night was a blur for me. I asked Laura a couple days ago, "Who bustled you?" And she said, "Mama, Amy took care of that too." Thanks again

When my son and his bride chose The Gardens of Cranesbury View for a late August wedding, the thing we worried most about was the 110 degree heat we might experience. Never in a million years did we expect to deal with Hurricane Harvey! From the beginning, Amy and her team made planning the wedding effortless. Both the bride and groom lived out of the area, so a lot of the planning was done long distance and finalized just a few days before the wedding. Amy's 20+ years of experience were invaluable! And when several other venues were forced to cancel their weddings August 26th because of the weather, Amy very calmly and very confidently assured us that everything would be perfect, and it was! Even when we decided early in the day to move the wedding up a hour to better accommodate our guests, she coordinated with all the vendors and provided seamless service! Having an indoor wedding at the venue wasn't their first choice, but everything was set up beautifully. When the ceremony was over, the ballroom instantly transformed from ceremony seating to the tables for the reception and party. Despite the fact that Harvey was blowing and going outside, you never knew it inside! Our families can't thank Amy enough for everything she and her team did that day. It was beautiful! And it was certainly memorable! And we were all blessed in the process!

There were a lot of venues I liked, but I instantly fell in love with the Gardens of Cranesbury View when i saw the gazebo and the beautiful landscaping. There is a nice bridal suite in the house, but unfortunately not a great spot for the guys to lounge. Amy made the wedding planning process a breeze. All we had to do was pick the vendors and express what we wanted and Amy took care of everything! I think the biggest selling point was that we didn't have to set up a thing! There was no wedding on Friday so we were able to drop off all our decorations early and it was all set up for us how we had discussed. Then when it was all over Amy and her crew picked everything up and packed it in our cars. Amy is great at what she does, knows what works well and what doesn't work so well, and keeps things moving on a schedule. We are very happy with our experience.

We had our wedding here in June, and it was an absolute dream! Amy is incredibly detail oriented and client focused. One of the biggest factors why we chose this venue was because Amy was so on top of everything, and makes you feel like family from the first time you speak with her. Leading up to the wedding she was always there to lend advice, help me put together last minute details, and was just a calming friend to talk to. I can't say enough good things about my experience with her. Even after the wedding, Amy takes such good care of you and makes sure your first steps into married life are absolutely perfect. The venue is so beautiful and we have such amazing pictures! Thank you for everything Amy❤️💗❤️💗❤️ I can't recommend getting married here enough!

This venue was exactly what I was searching for when I envisioned having an outdoor ceremony. The elegant landscaping, gardens and that beautiful gazebo is simply breathtaking. The reception hall is phenomenal and the space allotted for the bride and her party to use prior to the ceremony is outstanding!!! Amy ( the planner/coordinator) is so warm, kind, professional and amazing. She made the entire planning process much easier than it would have been if we tackled it alone and the day of our wedding was absolutely stress-free for me. All I had to do was show up, get my hair and make up done, relax and have fun,cocktails and light snacks with my mother and bridal party before getting dressed. Everything started on time, the ceremony and reception went over flawlessly. All our guests still rave about our wedding and say it was the best wedding they ever attended. The venue was perfect, everything was beautiful and wonderfully coordinated and they really loved Amy our planner. Thank you so much Amy for such a memorable experience, I will certainly cherish our special day for the rest of my life. To anyone searching for a unique and extravagant venue packaged with a great planner, do yourself a favor and check out the Gardens of Cranesbury View. -Happily Married Melissa R. Brown

My wife found The Gardens in a magazine and loved it from the start, and only fell more in love after seeing the venue in person and meeting with Amy the first time. We knew then and there that this was our venue and could not have made a better choice as far as I'm concerned. Amy stayed on top of everything from day one all the way through the day of the wedding. She made it clear what we had to do on our end and there was never any confusion (on a side note, not one of the other venues that we looked into would have provided someone to help us throughout the process on the level that Amy does, which was another amazing perk). She communicates wonderfully and made us incredibly proud to say that she made sure our wedding went on perfectly, and I couldn't have asked for a better day, I only wish it could have gone on longer! She deserves every bit of praise that she gets!

Amy and her team are amazing. They helped make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. My husband and I looked at several venues in the San Antonio area but were instantly sold on this beautiful venue the moment we arrived to the property. Throughout the entire planning process Amy was so helpful and calm during what can become an overwhelming time. She made sure every detail of our wedding day was planned and exactly how we wanted. I couldn't have been happier with the entire process and our special day!

Amy's network of vendors made coordination of the day's events very smooth and seamless. She truly cared about making our wedding as special as possible, and it showed. We'd highly recommend the Gardens to anybody looking for a beautiful central Texas wedding with a wonderful and accommodating staff!

I got married just a month ago and have been telling every person about this place! Amy and her staff are so amazing and will help out so much, its also such a beautiful venue. From the moment I drove up to the venue I was obsessed!! Everything about this place is PERFECT. I could not thank Amy enough for everything she did for us and how easy she made the wedding planning process. It is by far the best place in New Braunfels to get married. All of my family have talked about it for weeks, how amazing everything was, and how Amy and her staff did such a great job. I couldn't have asked for a better place and better people.

Very beautiful venue. It made my pictures look absolutely amazing. Amy made sure that everything for the reception ran smoothly. Doesn't coordinate anything for the church or ceremony if you don't marry on the grounds or if you don't get flowers through her. The reception went off without a hitch and when I was getting too tired to keep dancing and mixing she was able to easily move up the timetable for our grand departure.

This venue is beautiful and reasonably priced! I immediately fell in love with the venue when I first saw it. And the best part was that this venue is very stress free. In the weeks leading up to the wedding Amy contacts all your vendors and schedules everything for you. And the day of the wedding she sets everything up for you. This was awesome and allowed me, my family, and our bridal party to just relax the day of the wedding. My wedding day went so smoothly and we were able to relax and just enjoy the beautiful day with our loved ones. I definitely recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury View!
