The Gardens of Cranesbury View

location. So happy we had our wedding here.

d 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!

t 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!

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.

est 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!

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!!!

utely 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

e 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!

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.

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!

e 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

r 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!

e 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!

endors 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!

hing 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.

s 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.

we could do it all over again. Everything was so organized and we loved every bit it. The venue itself was beautiful, our families were loved it! We got so many compliments, she made everything look so elegant. I would definitely recommend this place. Wonderful people and on top of everything. Thank you again to Amy and her staff!!!!

hedules 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!

ions for our ceremony/reception and sharing what she'd personally seen vendors offer. On top of that, she gave us a detailed planning schedule to work from--which was such a blessing to keep me sane as I worked and finished school! But above all, Amy was a friend to us. She was joyful and fully present in all our phone calls and planning meetings, and she prayed with us and gave us confidence and love during this busy process, reminding us how special this time was. Numerous guests told us that we had the most beautiful wedding venue, but we'll always remember that the true gem of the Gardens is the staff.

her staff exceeded my expectations. Amy helped me plan the wedding from the day I signed the contract. She was amazing at keeping me on track with planning and details. Her preferred vendor list is incredible. My advice is to stick with the vendors on her list because they provide the same level of service as Amy and her staff. I can honestly say during my wedding I kept thinking, "Wow, this is going so perfect!!" I know the only reason the day turned out that way was because of Amy. She kept the night flowing and made sure we were able to do all the things we wanted. I really enjoyed getting to know Amy during my wedding planning process. She has so much passion for what she does. I referred to her as a wedding angel because I feel truly blessed to have found someone so amazing to help make one of the biggest days of my life so perfect!

s perfect! Amy took care of everything, from providing great vendor recommendations, to timelines, to decorating suggestions, she knows her business inside and out! We weren't stressed once during the planning process! Amy's even included in the price as the best day-of coordinator you could ever ask for. She made sure everything flowed smoothly on wedding day, and all of the little extras were taken care of. Neither we nor our families had to worry about a thing other than having fun! Our friends and family keep telling us how great our wedding was and how much fun they had! That's all we could've ever asked for.

l country view. I would recommend this venue to any bride & groom looking for somewhere special to tie the knot.

venues, I had found THE ONE! Amy went above and beyond to make our wedding the most beautiful and special day. She even helped undo my corset dress to help my take off my petticoat after pictures because I was so hot and uncomfortable!! She kept everything rolling smoothly the day of our wedding, which until you are there in the moment do you realize how very important a person like that is. She also had amazing vendors to recommend. I fell so blessed that we had the pleasure of meeting and working with Amy and her team, and being able to get married at the beautiful Gardens of Cranesbury View!

seamless and they accommodated our every request! I will be recommending that venue to anyone that is wanting to get married in the Hill Country with great service! Thanks Amy, Michael and I couldn't have been happier. Much love, Kim Czuppon

the staff and the flow of the wedding. The venue is beautiful and the staff is exceptional! I highly recommend Amy and her staff! I am very pleased we decided to book our wedding with Amy!

before the wedding. Once the vendors were finalized, she worked with them to coordinate the logistics so that my dream wedding could happen smoothly. She is so sweet and accommodating, her flexibility and willingness to always help out made the planning process so much more fun than I was expecting. The venue is seriously the most beautiful location in the hill country, I loved the ambiance and beauty of the whole grounds. I am so happy that we met Amy and her staff, our wedding wouldn't have been the gorgeous success it was without them! Also the pictures look STUNNING because of the beautiful venue. I definitely recommend the Gardens at Cranesbury View - I can't wait to go back for another event someday.

Her vendors list is wonderful, seriously great recommendations. The venue is just so incredibly beautiful!! A week after it was over, we wanted to do it all over again!! That's how effortless Amy and her team make it. I will forever recommend Amy and her venue.

nline. When I saw the pictures of the Gardens on the Knot I was very impressed with how beautiful it was and the rave reviews made me feel that the Gardens was definitely a top contender. When I called Amy to schedule an appointment I couldn’t believe how friendly she was! The Gardens of Cranesbury was the first venue we toured and as soon as we arrived on the grounds I turned to Sean and said this is it (to his surprise since I never make quick decisions!). I was so impressed with the Gardens that when the wedding budget came up in conversation I often remarked I was ok with changing anything about the wedding but the venue, the Gardens of Cranesbury View was an absolute must! It helped they were very reasonably priced for all the service that was provided. One note I’d like to make is Amy provides a great list of vendors to work with and if at all possible you should stick with them. I picked a caterer that was not on her list for my Brunch wedding and they ended up going out of business a month before my Wedding Day. Once I told Amy not only did she give me the name of a great caterer who was available on such short notice and had a Brunch menu option but also she continued to follow up with them to make sure we had everything set with them in time. She is simply amazing! Also, since I had decided to craft most of my wedding I was afraid that I would have too many decorations to be set out but not only did Amy set everything up but she did it perfectly and it was done by the time of our rehearsal the day before so I had a chance to view it before the Wedding day. I had the most wonderful experience, Amy made sure our Wedding Day was flawless! We’re still getting comments on how beautiful the Venue was and I even recently had one of my guests remark they had never seen anyone so passionate about their job as Amy was. I couldn’t agree more! Thank you Amy for giving us the perfect Wedding Day!

. Peek at the website you will see the beauty I am describing. We could not have picked a better location or a better team to work with for our wedding. Amy and her team excelled above and beyond our expectations. Our wedding was 10/16/15, the weather was perfect and the team at the Gardens of Cranesbury View made every single aspect of our special day, simply PERFECT. Every detail of our event was flawless, Amy was right by my side, never missing a beat, guiding us through every step of the evening. Many of our guests commented on the beauty of the location and Amy's excellent team! If you are looking for elegance, beauty and style, The Gardens of Cranesbury View is highly recommended. We had a gorgeous wedding! Thank you Amy Collins and Staff Kelly Michael & Shanna Kay

d more in a wedding coordinator. The day was flawless and most importantly all we had to do was sit back and enjoy being with friends and family. All of our guests gushed about how beautiful the venue was and we continue to get amazing feedback. Amy and her staff are truly amazing and have such a wonderful gift! Thanks so much for such a beautiful and magical wedding!!!

a phone call away. On the day of our wedding everything went so smooth. You can feel the passion Amy has for what she does from the first day you meet her to your big day. Everything is made special and is sculpted to what you and future spouse want. My husband and I fell in love the venue, we wanted something in the country but still elegant for a wedding. The Gardens of Cranesbury View was the perfect venue for us.

ing about my wedding being held there !

ferent perspective...from the father of the bride! My daughter Jaclyn had her reception there last July and we couldn't have been more pleased. We had looked at several other options in the area, but selected this one for three main reasons: 1) the setting, 2) their organization/professionalism, and 3) the people. Let me explain. First of all, you'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful venue anywhere! Now I admit I'm a bit biased because we live in the Hill Country only a few miles away. However, the gardens, outdoor patio area, and reception hall are all spectacular and well suited for weddings/receptions for up to 300 guests. We had about 175 attendees and it was absolutely perfect. The beautiful setting combined with wonderful decorations made this a dream come true for my daughter. Secondly, it was obvious from our initial meeting that this venue had it's collective act together. Amy and Kathryn were extremely well organized and had an amazing attention to detail. We all felt assured from Day 1 that this would be a spectacular event, and we were not disappointed. From the meticulous planning checklists to the vendor recommendations, Amy and her team were always in control and took a lot of the pressure off of the rest of us so that we could just enjoy the day. Although our wedding was in a church in New Braunfels, Amy beautifully arranged the flowers there, then raced back to the venue to greet us and our guests at the reception. During execution of the program that evening, Amy and Kathryn kept everyone on schedule in a polite and respectful way, ensuring that all the events flowed seamlessly. They even handled my last minute request to extend the reception an additional hour without missing a beat...we were all having just too much fun to stop! Finally, Amy and Kathryn are very passionate about the service they provide to the Bride, Groom and their families. You can tell they are not just doing a job, but are really personally invested in making it a magical day for everyone. From early planning sessions to the night of the big event, I was extremely impressed with their commitment and drive to make this the best day ever for our families. It's obvious to me that Amy and her team have a real "calling" to serve others...we all certainly appreciated that! So here's the bottom line...it was a wonderful experience from start to finish and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I realize you can't have a Dad's review without mentioning $$, so I'll simply say that it was very reasonably priced and I'd challenge anyone to find a better value for your dollar. I think my daughter summed things up the best when she told me several times that evening, "I feel like I'm living in a fairy tale!" What Dad can ask for more than that?

and made the planning process amazingly fun. My mom, sister, and I always had so much fun at each of our meetings. I brought pictures of the flowers that I liked and Amy made them EXACTLY how I wanted them. She is seriously a dream. The most amazing thing happened on our wedding day. It was raining most of the day, and we had to make the decision to move the ceremony indoors. Amy assured me that everything would be beautiful. Then about 10 minutes before the ceremony was about to begin the rain stopped. Amy asked me what I wanted to do and when I said I would like to move it back outside, she did not hesitate and told me we were going to make it happen because she wanted my dream to come true. I know it wasn't easy to switch everything back outside, but she never let me feel anything but at ease and that everything would be taken care of. The rain held off and we had the most beautiful ceremony outside. The reception was stunning and everyone had a wonderful time. Our guests said they had never been to a wedding so unique and gorgeous. I am forever thankful for The Gardens of Cranesbury View for making all of our dreams come true!

start guiding you on where you need to be with planning. I honestly don't know how other people do it without someone to guide them through the planning process which is timely and well documented if you follow their instruction. The day of, there were NO HICCUPS, seriously, everything was beautiful and perfect. I got married in a church in town, Amy arrived at the church with all my followers, made sure everyone had what they needed before the ceremony. As soon as it was over she rushed back to receive us brought us a drink and starting taking care of everything that possibly needed attention. All we had to do is sit back and soak up the importance of what was happening. I had the best time of my life at my wedding and this is largely because Amy and her team had everything under control. I wish there were stars higher than 5.

nate about what she does and it shows in the creation of the most amazing day! I looked at many places in the NB area, and I felt that most places had a "factory" feel. Many venues felt so impersonal, it didn't feel right to me. Meeting Amy was a huge blessing. She is such a caring person, you can not help but LOVE her. My husband and I had the BEST night ever! We still have friends talking about it. Everything flowed so nicely, we honestly didn't have to think or worry about a thing! My parents were able to enjoy every moment, because they honestly did not have to do anything. We dropped off all decorations, showed up, and then pulled the car around at the end (can you say AMAZING). The location is beautiful, the venue is gorgeous, and the staff is incredible! My sister wants to get married there she loved it so much. HUGE thanks to Amy and her staff for creating such wonderful memories!

e this location for our wedding. Amy and her team made our wedding a dream come true.

"held our hand" along the way. We stayed in constant contact and she was always an email or phone call away to keep us on track or offer suggestions. She made sure everyone had what they needed the day before the wedding and the day of. She even made sure my Mom was also taken care! Her love and passion for brides, grooms, and their families goes above and beyond! We were truly blessed to stumble upon Amy at the Gardens of Cranesbury View!

! Amy is wonderful and she really knows what she's doing! She had great suggestions and she and her team handled everything on our wedding day (that really matters). You will have to choose vendors, but Amy will make it easier for you, she will provide a list with vendors (food, cake, DJ's ....everything). That came in handy. Also you will have to drop off everything the wedding week! After I did that I had so much time on my plate...that everyone was wondering why am I not stressed and busy with the wedding ;) Amy also did the flowers and she did an awesome job! I loved my bouquet and happy I used another one for tossing :) The room and every single detail was perfect (honestly I did not realized how perfect everything was until I checked the pictures later on - I blame stress). If you plan on having your wedding there do it without hesitation! You will not regret it!!! You might find cheaper venues (we did ..) but after we checked this one out....be booked it immediately! Sadly everything went by fast...but everything was perfect! Piece of advice enjoy your night ladies Amy & team is going to take care of everything!! Thank you so much Amy & Team! The Kalu's

ver the phone! When you are planning a wedding this way, and working a full time job- this can be very stressful! But after initially talking with Amy Collins (the owner) she appeased my anxiety and let me know how she could help me through this! So we booked her and had our wonderful wedding there last weekend! Amy helped me with all of the flowers, from centerpieces, to bouquets, to boutineers and they exceeded my expectations!! She even surprised me by inserting the flowers I wanted but had to pull back on becasue of budget. I did not get to even see my wedding bouquet until I got to the wedding and it was more beautiful than I had imagined. Since we were not in town to meet anyone, Amy gave us contacts that helped us immensely. She suggested bartenders, whom we used and loved. She gave us a referral to the the caterer who ROCKED and everyone can't stop talking about the delicious food! She helped with rentals, from easels for signs to centerpieces to linens. I just told her what I wanted and she led me in the right direction. The week of the wedding, I dropped off all of my decorations I dragged down to Texas and asked Amy and Kathryn to do their best with it, and it was stunning! They even creatively worked with some of the items I had to make them better, or useful in ways I had not thought of! Amy helped me also with the wedding day timeline. Although we got married at a church offsite, she helped me organize that!! Way outside of her duties, and she even attended! At the venue, she made sure everyone was in place for all the things you do at weddings :) She made sure my photographer took the right photos, made sure my dad was ready for the dance, made sure the dj announced my bridal party, gathered everyone for the garter/bouquet toss, cake cutting, and then send off! What I appreciate most, was knowing that Amy was following up with me throughout the whole process. If I had a question over anything, she always got back to me. I changed my mind a lot and she was patient and helped me to decide on things I struggled with to ensure that I had the best day ever. She made sure my vendors were on track and pretty much handled everything...besides marrying us!! Unfortunately, there was a terrible storm that day and I was so worried that my wedding would be a bummer, but Amy helped rearrange everything and I didn't even notice the rain becasue I was having too good of a time! I would highly recommend The Gardens of Cranesbury View to anyone who is planning a wedding. The help, assistance and experience are all provided by the staff and she has excellent vendor relationships. We are so glad we had such a great team there to help make our wedding day exactly what I wanted!! Thank you Amy and Kathryn!!!

ests were equally impressed and we received compliments from everyone. I could not have done it any other way. The venue is stunning, the vendors they recommended are thoroughly vetted and the staff is encouraging, focused and diligent. I can't say enough. I am so glad I found them!

ns the venue coordinator is absolutely AMAZING from the moment we first met with her. She is so helpful, as well as her staff, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and was there every step of the way. She even provided us with a vendor list to help us find other local vendors to use for our special day. Not only was she our venue coordinator, but she was also our florist, and we were able to rent everything from her from the china, linens, utensils, and vases which made our life so much easier having to go through one person. She was able to put our idea that we had in our head come to life. We had a vintage wedding and she made it absolutely PERFECT! It was everything we had imagined. The flowers came out better than I ever thought possible and after the wedding all everyone could talk about was all the flowers everywhere and the center pieces. Looking back neither one of us would have changed a thing!! She made the entire night go so smoothly without any hiccups. We appreciate her hard work and dedication and I will be sure to recommend her to anyone I know getting married!

as so well organized, the reception went off without a hitch! So many of my guests commented on how beautiful everything was and how nice Amy and her staff were. Amy also did my flowers and they were stunning. I live in Oklahoma and it was such a relief to have Amy help me with all of the planning and preparation. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. It took so much stress off myself and my mom. You would be silly not to book your wedding here! I would recommend this place to anyone.

cktail hour to the reception, everything was superb! We didn't have to worry about a single detail and the staff made sure our guests were treated like royalty. The Venue has absolutely gorgeous views of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. This was one of the deciding factors for us--we knew getting married with that as a backdrop would be unforgettable. There was not one moment where we felt like I was being bothered by the staff over details during the night. Our guests are still talking about what a great time they had and how beautiful the venue is. The Gardens of Cranesbury View made our special day magical and we appreciate Amy and her staff for making this a night to remember! If you are looking for a gorgeous venue with a CARING STAFF for your special day, you should absolutely look to the Gardens of Cranesbury View!

e entire planning process was well organized, stress free and step by step. We knew what to expect at every meeting and were given so many references for vendors that could help make our big day perfect. Amy was our right hand thought the entire night, keeping us on track and being flexible if my husband and I chose to make adjustments to our timeline as the night progressed. Being a sister and bridesmaid before, I was concerned with how the clean up portion of the night would go. We did not want our family and friends to worry about staying late to clean the venue, which they did not have to. Amy packed up the cars with everything within a half hour of the event ending. Flowers, gifts, goodies, left over food, and alcohol were boxed up with no fuss. I would highly recommend The Gardens of Cranesbuery View to any bride. The venue is beautiful and Amy is a must have for planning any event!

y goes off without a hitch. As a horticulturalist, she creates breathtaking floral displays. It is also great that on the day of, she alone deals with the vendors, allowing the bride to get ready and excited about her day with her besties. She also made sure that my husband and I had a snack tray of our cocktail hr options waiting in our dressing room before pictures. What a thoughtful touch! She truly feels the power of our Lord in her work and uses his influence to create a beautiful and memorable experience for your wedding! She is a lovely and kind person and I recommend her and her venue to all future brides seeking a warm, elegant and inviting atmosphere! You won't regret it! Thank you Amy! Hisham and I will never forget your kindness!

eception. Amy and her staff are so great! They made sure everything flowed smoothly and beautifully. It turned out to be a little pricier than I had originally thought it would be, but it was totally worth it. I wouldn't change a thing!! This place is amazing!

onestly I could not have done this with out her. My friends have gotten married at other venues where you are doing all the work up to the hour of the wedding - decorations, etc. But with Amy, I didn't have to worry about a thing, ESPECIALLY the day of my wedding, which is the most important! I got to get my hair and makeup done without a worry at all! The pictures of this venue doesn't do it justice, it is absolutely gorgeous. Amy takes amazing care of her venue, from the landscaping to the beautiful rose bushes. It is impossible to not get amazing pictures from this place. Amy also worked with us well when it comes to budget. She didn't push us to spend more than we had to and we still had a beautiful wedding for not busting the bank! We are so thankful we found this venue for our wedding, it was an amazing experience! Thank you Amy!

y recommend this venue and staff for your wedding. It was a flawless day and one that we were able to fully enjoy. Thank you Amy and all your wonderful staff for making the biggest day of our lives special and stress-free. Love and blessings to all the engaged couples thinking about The Gardens! Mrs. Kotwal

ry groomed and well kept. It's green all around with beautiful flowers everywhere. Parts of the garden almost made you feel as if you were in Alice and Wonderland. It's absolutely gorgeous, I highly recommend this venue!!

ruthful answer. She helped me throughout my wedding planning from how much cake I should get to how I could bustle my wedding dress. She's a world of knowledge! I loved the detailed timeline they planned out for us and that Ashley called each and every vendor to confirm the week before the wedding. On the day of the wedding I woke up to massive rain and street flooding, but was I worried? Nope. I knew there was a backup plan (that we even rehearsed the day before) and all of the staff were there working hard getting everything set up. We even had Ashley give us roads with low water crossing that could be an issue with guests. The rain actually stopped two hours before and we were even able to have the wedding ceremony outside. They are the main reason our wedding was such an wonderful time. I can look back and not remember being stressed out, but the happy times I was able to spend with my guests, family, and husband.

fe. What struck me about The Gardens of Cranesbury View is the genuine feeling of comfort I felt walking the grounds and being hosted by Amy and Ashley as I toured the facility. While we did not decide to get married on site, it was evident that the elegant, exceptionally manicured lawn and gardens, and the classy reception hall with beautiful molding would provide an exceptional backdrop for a reception for our guests. Our reception felt seamlessly executed and we felt as if we had no worries with Ashley ready in the wings. From bustling my dress to helping me get into my reception shoes after hours on my feet, from finding my sister's bouquet in my parent's car in the parking lot to delivering the flowers to the church the hour before the ceremony, she was prompt and also ready to meet any challenge head on with a genuine, caring smile. Even with the final head count landing right above 100 (from an initial 150 estimate), the reception hall felt the perfect size for all the guests, the cake tables, and our 6 piece band. In addition to the proprietor's (Amy) familiarity with the property (she designed it after all!) is her training as a horticulturist. Amy executed my flowers (bouquets, corsages, table arrangements, center piece for the church, etc) UNDER budget and incorporated my vision and creative ideas while gently advising me how I could get the look and feel I desired without "busting the bank". Guests commented on the wonderful experience, and one even exclaimed that she "is ready to move to New Braunfels" after spending such a wonderful evening in the Hill Country. I was always able to say very honestly, that I felt much more at ease by the end of a phone call or meeting with Amy or Ashley---they are truly gifted in their craft and deserve your trust if you choose to engage their services.

r our daughter! From the first day we stepped foot on the gorgeous property and met Amy Collins the Owner of the venue, we knew at that moment that our daughter would marry there! The place had everything we wanted! Beautiful hill country views, gorgeous landscaped grounds, tons of flowers everywhere, a Juliet balcony (for bouquet tossing) twinkle lights on the courtyard, send of with sparklers and a gorgeous hall w/ an elegant feel of romance in the air! It was the fairytale wedding my little girl always wanted and we could not have been more happy with the place and the amazing staff that handled everything to the tee! The place is a perfect setting for a wedding in more ways than one! Amy the Owner is able to provide for you so many options that pretty much work with most wedding budgets. Plus, she is a florist as well and can do all of the flowers for you! She did ours and they were stunning! I can go on and on about the place and our over-all experience but I know I have a writing limit. Bottom line is that this place by far beat all of the venues we visited for our daughter's wedding. If you are a parent trying to decide where your daughter or son's wedding should be, take a minute to visit The Gardens of Cranesbury View! You will be impressed from the moment you drive up to the beautiful iron gate and tour the facility! It's breathtaking and has a sense of peace that surrounds the whole place! I call it the presence of God! Our guest were blown away with the place and kept commenting on how beautiful it was!:) I wish I had another daughter to marry there all over again! But maybe my son will one day down the road. Truly blessed with the whole experience! Maria Calvillo mother of the bride!

he colors were perfect. Amy and her staff are like a well oiled machine so they take care of all the little touches and details. The venue is breath taking and a great back drop for pictures. I couldn't have asked for nothing more!

tters to them. My wedding week was pretty stress free thanks to them. It is also a very beautiful venue. My wedding wouldn't have been the same without them!

th (she didn't recommend any in particular--just guaranteed us they'd go above and beyond, based on past experiences) and we were pleased with all--the photographer, the caterer, and the deejay. Amy's staff did the flowers and they were magnificent!! Ashley was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't have been happier with her friendliness and professionalism. There were so many special and unexpected touches including the sparkler send-off. This venue is on a hill with a spectacular view and we had a wonderful breeze during the ceremony and reception. It was magical--couldn't have imagined a better venue. Highly recommend!!

hing they did was very professional and streamline. They were such a joy to work with and certainly did make things FUN! I had my ceremony at a church in town and had our reception at the Gardens. Ashley came to the church and brought all our beautiful bouquets and boutineers and stayed with us until the ceremony began. I cannot express how thankful I was to have her at the church with us. Especially as the church's wedding coordinator (whom I had only had the opportunity to meet the night before..) began the procession without me being ready.... Thank the Lord that Ashley was there to keep me calm and collected and provide a buffer between me and the church's coordinator. What a disaster that felt like. But Ashley was there for me, carried my train for me, and stayed with me until the moment they opened the big church doors for me to make my entrance. It was so good to have her there for me and she made me feel so much less stressed with all that felt like was going wrong. I wish I could say different about the church, but they made me feel rushed, uncomfortable, and started the ceremony without me because they "could not wait". Amy and Ashley know it's a stressful day and they know exactly how to communicate things to you without making you feel rushed and uncomfortable. Thank you Ashley for being there for me. Once the ceremony started the rest of the day went beautifully! In the hands of Amy and her crew nothing went wrong. The food from one of Amy's suggested caters, Heavenly Gourmet, was excellent! I still don't mind eating the leftovers that we took home and froze! The ballroom and its decorations was BEAUTIFUL. Everything went smoothly and we had an absolute blast! Thank you Amy, Ashley, and all the crew at the Gardens of Cranesbury View for making my wedding everything I had ever wanted it to be!

great. Amy runs her businnes very professionally. She understands business and service. Her upbeat attitude is contagious and she makes you feel special, like you are the only one getting married at her venue. After working with the other vendors she hands down gave the best service and attention. Her venue doesn't come cheap, but it's well worth the money if you can afford it. Amy had Ashley run our show and she was just as wonderful. Ashley had everything together and handled herself amazingly, she even grabbed my shoes when they didn't make it with me down the aisle! The mixture of the heel type I had and the grass and rain from earlier in the day didn't go well and she was nice enough to try and clean them up for me. Not everything went smoothly with other vendors, but Ashley made sure that we didn't worry about much and by the end I wanted to call her my friend. We had many compliments on the venue. Everything from Alice in Wonderland hedges to it looked like a ceremony from a movie. Thank you Gardens of Cranesbury View!

dding was absolutely beautiful. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests from the ceremony space to the reception hall. The set up was beautiful and the wedding was so well organized with huge thanks to Amy and her staff. Amy and her staff helped us with every aspect of the wedding. With their help we had an amazing wedding that will be talked about amongst our relatives and friends for a long time.

you on track as a bride! She was my first and last appointment because after leaving, I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else! The place is absolutely gorgeous inside and out!

bout her. Amy was able to take the ideas we had and put together the most beautiful wedding. She took great care in every single detail! Everything was beautiful...from the white pumpkins throughout the property, to the table settings with the sugar skulls, the candy table and the gorgeous flower arrangements.....it was perfection! The best part of the wedding for me, as the mother of the bride, was that I enjoyed the entire wedding without having to worry about anything at all. Amy and her staff were on top of things and it is obvious that she truely cares. The wedding ceremony and dinner/reception went very smoothly. She confirmed every vendor and made sure that everyone was going to arrive on time and be setup before we arrived. At the end of the evening, not only had Amy and her staff packed my daughter's car with her gifts and personal items, but they had put any leftover items into my car. We're still getting compliments on the wedding! I cannot thank Amy enough for what she did, I would recommend the Gardens of Cranesbury View to absolutely everyone!

or the gorgeous wood floored ballroom that works both rustic and elegant, but the experience of it all is what I will never forget. My fiance and looked at several other venues beforehand and not a single one gave us the feeling we got while driving up the gorgeous driveway onto the property and then of course meeting Amy. Upon meeting Amy Collins, the venue coordinator and your instant long lost best friend, I knew this was THE place for my dream wedding. Amy truly cares about you and what YOU want for YOUR wedding. Anything is possible and her organization, dedication, hard work, patience, and understanding all blend into making planning a wedding actually a very enjoyable experience! Amy wants your wedding to be 100% stress free and let me tell you...it was!! Amy thinks of everything. She has everything on your wedding day and leading up to it so thoughtfully planned out that on the day of my wedding, I didn't have one bit of stress. The day of our wedding went off so smoothly and wonderfully, I knew it would not have been so had it not been for Amy and her passion and love for what she does. Every meeting we had with Amy was so enjoyable it felt like I was hanging out with one of my best friends. I can't express enough how genuine Amy is about wanting you to have the wedding of your dreams. Amy and her staff are so professional and efficient I was very impressed! Our wedding was the best day of our lives! The Gardens of Cranesbury View is a gorgeous, magical place where your dreams can come true!!

zed and creative. She did all of flower arrangements, coordinated with our other vendors and kept us on track and on budget. Amy, Ashley and the rest of the wedding coordinating team handled everything we threw at them and then some. If you're looking for a beautiful setting, seasoned and gifted attention at a very reasonable price, this is the venue you are looking for. My daughter's wedding was perfect. The only thing that saddens me is that I'm limited to rating them with only 5 stars.

) so I could have just what I wanted, but then in the last weeks leading up to the wedding Amy handled calling everyone and making sure they knew the plan, would all be there on time, and do everything they were supposed to do. Because of this, the wedding week was so low stress--I really didn't have to worry about anything. The night of the wedding, Amy and her staff (especially Ashley, who was also wonderful) walked us calmly through the whole evening, telling us where to be and what to do and everything so we never had to worry about what was coming next or if we were running on schedule or whether all the candles were lit or the band was ready, etc. It was a dream. And, of course, Amy's venue both inside and out is beautiful. Also, the flowers that Amy did for all of the tables, decorations, bouquets, etc. were better than I could have ever imagined. Everything was so perfect, it was like a dream.

us over immediately. She literally walked me and my daughter through every single decision, helping us narrow down vendors, picking colors, selecting flowers, and much more! Every one of her suggestions was outstanding. On the day of the wedding, Amy and her staff were incredible. They quietly went about their work, making sure that every SINGLE thing was taken care of, just as we requested. When something came up at the wedding, a staff member quietly presented the issue to me and immediately handled it according to my instructions. Smooth as silk. Besides the staff's contribution, I must say that this setting is nothing short of divine. Gorgeous, serene, color-filled, elegant, out of this world! The complements from our guests are still pouring in. Truly one of THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY experiences of my life and choosing The Gardens of Cranesbury View as our venue was by far the best decision we could've made!

lso used Amy for my flowers and they were very elegant and beautiful! Amy went out of her way to ensure everything went smoothly and I cannot thank her enough! She definetely took the stress out of planning!

rvice, hard work, and dedication the staff had. In addition to being such an amazing venue in and of itself I was literally taken by the hand and had everything done for me the exact way that I wanted it. I feel as if it might have been someone else's wedding because I've never had something so amazing done for me. My wedding went off without a hitch (although I wouldn't know the hitches because the staff took care of that for me!) and even though I went into it knowing what to expect, my expectations were washed away. I had everything I hoped for and MORE! When my new husband and I got into the limo after a great ceremony, dinner and dancing, we thought to ourselves... "Wow!". We were in disbelief at the night that we had and all we felt was lucky and blessed to have had it. The whole process of touring, choosing what I wanted, my hours and hours of conversations with the owner about what I wanted made it really feel like my wedding was important for a very long time. I would say that it was the best night of my life but really the months leading up to the wedding were the best too because of the way it was planned for me. Yes, it was the best night of my life but it could not have been possible if I had gone anywhere else. There would have been no way I could have coordinated all of my vendors, brought in a florist/wedding planner/rentals, did all of the set up and take down on my wedding week. Things are crazy enough and I was so lucky to not have to lift a finger! I'm a go-getter but trust me, it is definitely worth it to share with someone else your vision and have them create it all for you. It was everything and more, it was the night I will always remember, and it was the best wedding venue I have ever been to! Wow, I still can't believe that I got to have my wedding there, and what a wedding it was!!!

tion of it). For my wedding we wanted to take care of as many aspects as we could through one person. Being able to have the ceremony & reception site, tables, chairs, linens, place settings, flowers, and even some of the decor taken care of through Cranesbury was FANTASTIC. Amy has an excellent eye for detail and worked with my family in order to create the exact wedding we wanted. We had a giant wedding party and many of our friends were involved in our wedding - Amy and her staff handled the logistics of the ceremony and the amount of guests (around 220 people) perfectly. Amy totally made the day all about my vision for the wedding and no one elses. I appreciated that so much! Especially as someone who cares about what I want but gets easily overwhelmed by the amount of details it takes to have "the perfect wedding."

tention to every detail in accordance with your wishes. She helped us plan every aspect, coordinated our vendors, and flawlessly executed our plan for the evening. Any time I even thought something needed to be done, I just looked up and she was doing it. In addition, she did the floral arrangements that were gorgeous!!. Amy and her assistant ensured that all we had to do was show up and enjoy the event and our guests. They took care of everything else. The venue itself is breathtaking and so well care for. The venu and this business is her ministery and her clients are the beneficiaries.

cture how it will look through the detailed description of the layout. My bouquet was stunning, so many compliments. Having her as the wedding coordinator and the florist helps alleviate the stress of worrying about vendors being present and on time for the wedding day.

y taken care of gardens provide a surreal landscape; just beautiful and formal enough from all its natural beauty but not over the top formal to make it too stuffy. No one can write a review without mentioning the amazingly talented AMY COLLINS! The owner, coordinator, and florist; her taste, helpfulness, professionalism, and high standards were invaluable to our wedding. Even the most laid back bride will have nights they fret over votive candles, but Amy takes all that stress away. Her guidance and handling of our big day was impeccable. It was gorgeous, taken care of, wonderful. Couldn't imagine having a wedding without all of her help, this was the best value around.
