Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Nestled on 22 acres, The Homestead is a serene event venue located in Willis, TX. This unique event space boasts a stunning all-black exterior that creates a bold atmosphere for your celebration of love. The two Suites & Lobby are well-appointed with stylish and luxurious furniture, while two cavernous rooms allow you to fully tailor your experience. Situated just two minutes off of I-45 and surrounded by numerous hotels, this venue offers both convenience and seclusion for your special day.
Upon arrival, you will immediately notice the striking all-black exterior of The Homestead. Your guests are welcomed through stunning nine-foot tall sliding glass doors. Immediately you'll notice a 4,000-square-foot patio on the backside of the building. The deck is west-facing, ensuring a dramatic Texas sunset and one-acre pond as the backdrop for your open-air ceremony, cocktail hour, or al fresco dinner reception. From here, explore the 1,500-square-foot Lobby, which boasts an inspiring collaboration of both mid-century and modern accents. Continuing towards the north wing, you'll find a 2,441-square-foot Ceremony and/or Cocktail Room. If you wish to feature your Ceremony here, there are two altar options for you to consider: two large, westward-facing black trimmed windows, flanking a white bricked wall OR the north end wall which is a blank canvas of elegant white that you can fully customize and enhance with your own décor. Next, sidle into the 3,908-square-foot Great Room, which can comfortably accommodate up to 260 seated guests. The sloped ceilings in this room are low enough to give it an intimate ambiance and make suspending decorations easy. The space is outfitted with custom lighting and a built-in lounge inspired bar- the wow-factor of the room being a large, 48x17 feature window.
On the big day, two beautiful get-ready suites are available to use for day-of preparations. The Bloom Room is furnished with soft pink furnishings, a gorgeous floral wall, professional vanities, cubby holes, a dress rack, and plush furniture. A bubbly bar and light breakfast are provided complimentary by the venue. The Retreat is painted a deep emerald green and features modern furniture, a poker table, an art deco bar, and two changing rooms.
While The Homestead presents a unique point of view by way of design, it can also confidently exist as is or it can be personally customized to meet the aesthetic of your dream wedding. Catering is provided through the award-winning The Posh Affair. The venue’s extensive collection of beverages includes an all-Texas lineup of craft beer, wine, spirits, and craft cocktails. For all your other needs, you are welcome to bring in your own reputable vendors. Whatever your preferences, their experienced team will work with you to create a relaxing, romantic, and memorable experience in their sophisticated new event venue.

This is by far the BEST experience! Everyone was so professional. My dream wedding came to life because of this venue and everyone in it. If I had to do it over again, I would choose The Homestead over and over! So many photos opportunities instead and decorated so beautifully!

Where to even start with Alexis and The Homestead?! This venue is a DREAM! An actual dream from start to finish. Throughout the entire process the entire Homestead team made sure everything was set for our big day. They offered solutions and worked overtime to make sure everything was special! Not to mention, the venue itself is absolutely stunning, eclectic, classy, and one of a kind! We went to so many different venue tours and kept coming back to Alexis and the Homestead. It really captured everything we could have wanted and more! I highly recommend having your special event here if you want your guests to have an unforgettable and unique experience!

We had an August 2024 wedding & it feels like it was just yesterday!!! The Homestead team helped make our day unforgettable & we are truly grateful. This was the first & only venue we visited, so it was literally “LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT”. Not only did we fall in love with the interior, but the way Alexis received us on our venue tour & the passion she showed towards helping us make our wedding day perfect was really reassuring. Alexis is literally the best!!! Her team made sure that our day ran smoothly & all our guests had nothing but incredible things to say about the venue. The Homestead is truly ONE OF A KIND & you cannot compare it to any of the other venues. You don’t just get a venue, but you get a team of incredibly talented & such kind individuals. There are no words to express how grateful we are to have had The Homestead as our wedding venue!

We absolutely loved getting married at The Homestead! I looked at a lot of venues online and only visited one in person and it was this one. My fiancé and I booked it the day we saw it and had no regrets. The venue is so different than all the other ones you see in Montgomery County, and we thought this represented us both the best. From the views, architecture, design and event spaces, the owners really thought of everything. The staff was also incredible to work with, from the venue rental and food. I would get married here over and over again if I could!

Five stars is not enough! If I could give the Homestead a million stars I would! First, Alexis is the absolute best and always answered my questions (and there were a lot) or took an impromptu call with me. Second, the catering that comes with the venue is absolutely incredible! My guest and I were over the moon about the food! Many of them said it was the best wedding food they had ever had! Lastly, the venue is so beautiful and has so many possibilities to make your dreams come true! 100% would recommend The Homestead!!!!

The Homestead & The Posh Affair truly exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for an unforgettable experience.
The venue itself is a masterpiece of elegance and charm, providing a picturesque backdrop that perfectly complemented our daughter's wedding.
The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the venue, from the beautifully decorated spaces to the impeccable facilities. The indoor and outdoor areas seamlessly transitioned between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, ensuring a smooth flow for our guests throughout the evening. The bridal suite was a luxurious retreat, allowing us to relax and prepare in style.
The staff at The Homestead went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met, from the initial planning stages to the final moments of the event. Their professionalism and dedication were truly commendable, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones without a care in the world. In addition, had the pleasure of interacting with Taylor, a valued member of the fabulous bar staff, and I must say, he was fantastic. Not only did he serve up excellent drinks, but he also brought a delightful energy to our interactions. Taylor was fun, chatty, and always had a smile on his face, which made ordering drinks a truly enjoyable experience. I appreciated our conversations and the warm atmosphere he helped create at the bar. Taylor's professionalism and charm certainly enhanced my overall experience.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible efforts of Alexis, the owner of The Homestead. Her dedication and hard work were truly remarkable, especially in light of the challenges we faced when our hired wedding planner fell short. Alexis stepped in and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our daughter's wedding was flawless. Her attention to detail and unwavering commitment to excellence were evident in every decision she made. Without her expertise and tireless efforts, our special day would not have been possible. Alexis is a true gem, and we are forever grateful for her exceptional leadership and support.
And let's not forget about the food! The catering provided by The Homestead and Posh Affair was simply divine. The menu options were flexible, and the quality of the cuisine was exceptional. The crab cakes were a particular standout, earning rave reviews from all of our guests. We cannot thank the culinary team enough for adding an extra layer of joy to our celebration.
In conclusion, we are eternally grateful to The Homestead for making our daughter's wedding day truly magical. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care shone through in every detail, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
We wholeheartedly recommend The Homestead and Posh Affair to anyone seeking the perfect setting for their own milestone event. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything.
With heartfelt appreciation,

The Homestead is the most beautiful and well-thought out venue I have ever been to. I cried when we toured it because I could see my now husband and I getting married there. Alexis, the owner, understands the best flow and structure and has executed so well. The venue is fun and eclectic with plenty of beautiful large spaces, indoor and outdoor, for guests to hang out. The groom's suite and bridal suite are stunning and have everything you need. I am so happy we got married at The Homestead and would recommend it to anyone. We had the best day and Alexis and her team kept everything flowing perfectly. Our guests loved the place, too!

The Homestead was a dream location. We wanted something unique, modern, elevated and customizable. This venue was all of those things and more. A year after our wedding, and our guests still talk about the food, the bar, the service, and the design of our wedding and venue.
Alexis and her team are top notch. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more memorable day.

We loved working with The Homestead. We actually booked our wedding before the venue was even finished being built. Alexis did an amazing job of sharing her vision and ensuring us everything would run smoothly. They definitely delivered on the big day. We had a beautiful wedding and loved every minute of our experience. The in-house catering from The Posh Affair was amazing. Our guests still talk about it to this day. The bar staff were awesome and the bride and groom suites are exceptional. Alexis went above and beyond to make sure our dreams came true. If we could do it all over again we wouldn’t change a thing!

We literally had the best day ever! No stress at all! Not only is this venue beautiful but they’ve thought of EVERYTHING and the food was amazing! It’s cooked on site so it’s super fresh. We had a couple of special requests and they weren’t a problem at all. Super easy to work with.
