- Haley IlseVenue Manager and Day-Of CoordinatorHi there, I’m Haley Sabrsula Ilse. Lover of the color pink, Taylor Swift, and of course - weddings! I’m from the small town of El Campo, TX - just outside of Wharton. This is where I met my now husband, Kade. Together we graduated from Texas A&M, adopted two sassy cats named Olive and Gin, and had our dream wedding in February 2022! After assisting with weddings in Houston, College Station, and Austin, I’m so excited to be back near my hometown coordinating for The Orchard at Caney Creek. I can’t wait to help you + your favorite person with the big day!
- Lily GislerDay-Of CoordinatorHello! I am Lily! I am an Aggie Grad, podcast lover, and live with my husband on family property out in Victoria County. We have 2 perfect golden retrievers living the best country life. I am excited to make your wedding day uniquely special to you!
- Susan and Jeff SmithVenue OwnersJeff and Susan Smith met while working at restaurants in college (she at UT and he at Texas State). After finishing school, they married and moved to Houston to start their careers – his in accounting; hers in corporate communications. But the restaurant/hospitality industry kept calling and, over the years, the couple committed full-time to the industry, eventually owning and operating 6 restaurants and a full-service catering company. A wedding venue was the next logical step! The Smiths purchased the property that would become The Orchard at Caney Creek in 2009. After about 6 months of renovation, they hosted their first wedding here. Since that time they have continued to innovate, decorate, rebuild and renovate to improve the look and feel of what was, already, a truly beautiful setting. It has been an amazing experience for the whole family (three kids and three grandkids) and continues to be a labor of love.

OCC is the best venue in the Houston area and here's an example of why :)... I got married at the OCC on what may go down as the most discouraged day to have a wedding in 2026, the...
day the snow and ice storm rolled into Texas in January. It was such a stressful situation because, the week of the wedding, we truly didn’t know if we were even going to be able to have our wedding. The OCC was the biggest blessing to us through it all. Not only did they go above and beyond to make sure our day could still happen, but they were incredibly flexible, accommodating, and genuinely put us first every step of the way. About a third of our RSVP’d guests had to cancel at the last minute because of the weather, and the OCC was so gracious in allowing us to adjust our headcount even after the deadline so we could feel good about moving forward with the wedding. They truly care about their clients, and I am so thankful we chose them as our venue. Even in the middle of an ice storm, the venue looked absolutely impeccable! Huge shoutout to Lily for making our day so special!! You will not regret choosing them as your wedding venue :)

We got married at The Orchard at Caney Creek (OCC), and from the very first tour, we completely fell in love. There was just something about the atmosphere, it felt so peaceful and...
special right away. On top of that, all the accommodations the venue offers were truly the cherry on top and made such a difference throughout the planning process.
Haley was and still is the MVP. She was so involved every step of the way, made everyone feel comfortable, and made sure our wedding day ran so, so, so smoothly. Having someone like her there took so much stress off us and allowed us to actually enjoy the day.
Our guests still compliment us on how much they loved the venue and everything about it, which says so much. One thing that really surprised me was all the little things the venue took care of that we didn’t even have to think about, it made the entire experience feel effortless.
Choosing OCC was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend it more.

The Orchard at Caney Creek was a very nice venue. The grounds were very well kept and the facility was very nice. It was a big plus to have the houses on the grounds available fo...
r rent and to have a facility to host an after party. The operation appeared to be well run overall. I would consider it very expensive, but it is what our daughter wanted so we paid the very high price.
The staff left a lot to be desired. I tried to call on several occasions to get some clarifications. I never got through to a live person. I left voicemails each time I called and never once got a call back. While I was not to the bride, I was the mother of the bride and the one who paid all the bills and I consider it very rude that they never returned any of my voicemails.
The day-of wedding coordinator, which we paid an additional $1000 for, was on her computer during much of the set-up and not paying attention to the details of the set-up that our daughter had requested. She was also giving tours of the facility to other customers when she was supposed to be over-seeing our wedding. She was extremely rude to the groom throughout the day, which is unfathomable. She rushed us through the reception protocol which caused several issues. She was pushy and rude to several of us.
The wait staff cleared our plates and glasses when we were not even finished and removed extra place settings quickly that we might have been able to use to refill our plates that were taken. Also we were not allowed to take any extra food home due to some state health rule they claimed which seemed really bogus to us. We have been to several other weddings in the Houston area that packed the food up for us and refrigerated it until we could take it home.
Total Wine had given us a $80 bottle of champagned and two very nice glasses for the bride and groom toast. We put it at their head table and the coordinator took the bottle to be chilled. The bottle was never opened for the toast and both the bottle and glasses were not returned at the end of the night. My daughter called the next day and they could not find the bottle or the glasses. They also never opened or poured the 10 bottles of prosecco we bought for the toast and they did not return them at the end of the night. We saw them in the mini-fridge in the bar area the next morning. Our daughter told the coordinator and she was able to go pick them up the next business day. I did tip the coordinator but am sorry that I did based on what all came to light after the event. I would not recommend ever hiring the venue’s coordinator. Bring one in from outside.

Our wedding on September 27th at The Orchard at Caney Creek was nothing short of perfection, and we owe it all to the venue’s breathtaking beauty, exceptional hospitality, and the ...
incredible staff who made us feel truly special every step of the way.
From the moment Haley gave us our initial tour, we were smitten. She walked us through the stunning orchard, highlighting the ceremony site framed by majestic trees that left us (and later, all our guests) in awe. Haley was transparent about pricing and laid out every option clearly, helping us envision our dream day without any pressure. Her warmth and knowledge made us fall in love with the space instantly.
We decided to add the coordination services, and that’s when we met Lily (an absolute gem)! Lily was proactive, consistently checking in as the big day approached, and ensured everything ran seamlessly. On the wedding day, she was a calming presence, anticipating our needs and making sure we felt heard and celebrated. Adding coordination was the best decision we made; I’d highly recommend it to any couple booking here.
The venue itself is a showstopper. Guests raved about the natural beauty of the trees and ceremony site,calling it one of the most picturesque settings they’d ever seen. The aesthetics are effortlessly elegant, blending southern charm with timeless romance.
The entire staff’s helpfulness and hospitality elevated our experience. They went above and beyond to make us feel like the only couple in the world, creating a day that was intimate, joyful, and unforgettable.
We couldn’t be happier choosing The Orchard at Caney Creek for our wedding. It was pure magic, and we’d relive it all in a heartbeat. **5/5 stars—highly recommend!**

This venue was absolute perfection.
From the onsite lodging, the rehearsal dinner, the coordinator Haley, to the actual day. It went so well even when I had my own hiccups. We act...
ually had to rescheduled at one point due to my being due with my little one a month before our original date and the owners were so helpful with that.
The catering was also really good! I still can’t get over the tomato bisque.
Then the best part of it all was~Haley! Which I’m sure a lot of other brides can agree with. Over the almost two years of planning with my millions of visits and emails and texts I sent her, she was just incredible! The best part of this place, she offered so much advice and assistance with everything.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about The Orchard at Caney Creek. From start to finish, they made the entire wedding experience seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable.
...
I actually booked the venue before I had even seen it in person—my husband toured it while I was living out of state, and I just knew this was the place. From the first conversation, Haley and the team made wedding planning so incredibly easy. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without them. They provided nearly everything—linens, glassware, silverware, tables, chairs, cocktail hour tables, and even the gorgeous wooden cross we used during our outdoor ceremony. Most importantly, they handled all the catering, and the food was absolutely incredible. Friends and family raved about every bite. I was especially excited for the tomato basil soup—I talked about it to everyone before the wedding, and it completely lived up to the hype!
Haley was such a huge help throughout the entire planning process. She was responsive, organized, and so thoughtful—she coordinated with our day-of coordinator and helped with any extra needs or vendor ideas we hadn’t locked down yet. Her recommendations were fantastic, and she truly went above and beyond.
We hosted our rehearsal dinner on Friday night on the property, and it was just as magical as the wedding itself. The outdoor setting was beautiful and once again, the food was absolutely amazing. Being able to have that evening with our closest friends and family so special.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly thanks to the amazing staff and all the preparations the venue helped us make. The space looked stunning, the food was perfect, and we felt completely supported. The natural beauty of the Orchard made for the most incredible backdrop, and staying on property made things incredibly convenient—not just for us, but for our guests.
We stayed on site with our closest friends and family, and it made the entire weekend feel personal and meaningful. Having everyone nearby turned the wedding into a full weekend celebration, not just a one-day event. After the wedding, we hosted an after-party right on site, and it was so convenient to have our out-of-town guests already there. It felt like one big, joyful reunion.
The Orchard at Caney Creek is not just a venue—it’s a complete experience. They handle so many aspects of the wedding that you would otherwise have to coordinate through multiple vendors. Between the food, the lodging, and the exceptional staff, they truly make wedding dreams come true. I would choose them again a thousand times over. It was the best decision we made for our wedding, and I’ll be forever grateful for the memories we made there.

edding day went smoothly! Even shipped my veil back to me after I forgot to pack it that next morning. The grounds were beautiful and we were able to stay on site in all of the houses both the night before our wedding day and on our wedding day itself. Being able to have a relaxed rehearsal dinner in the Lodge, waking up at the venue on our wedding day, and having the festivities continue at the after party in the Lodge and go to bed all onsite was so amazing for us and our guests! The houses were clean and any issues any of our guests had were quickly remedied by the staff. The food was great and loved being able to taste all of our options at the grand tasting event that the venue puts on. Most of my other vendors (photography, hair and makeup, florist, etc.) were booked using their preferred vendor list and they were all so amazing! Could not recommend this venue enough!

12/10 recommend getting married here! If we could do it again, we would! The Orchard at Caney Creek is a stunning venue and makes for a unique, intimate wedding weekend. From the v...
ery beginning, the staff there is wonderful to work with. They are very reasonable with everything, from pricing to accommodating certain requests to scheduling meetings with the event planner. They really want you to have the best day ever without having to sell an arm or a leg! They have so many options for table settings and linens and alter decor. The food is 5 star!!! Many of our guests commented on how delicious and filling our dinner was. We were blown away. The open house and group tastings are a whole ordeal, very fun and definitely worth going to. Their preferred vendors are top notch. I worked with Arlene Rose Floral Designs and DJ English Chris, who both know the venue and staff very well and we had an incredible experience with both of them! I also absolutely recommend booking lodging for both nights. The rehearsal dinner was a magical, intimate experience with friends and family coming for dinner and staying the night. Renting the lodging the night of the wedding allowed us to keep the party going with a memorable after party which was amazing! And all of the homes are absolutely charming. It made the whole weekend super unique and relaxing for our guests. We didn’t want to leave! Our event coordinator was Haley, who helped us from day 1 when we toured the venue all the way through the end. She was amazingly detail oriented and thought of things I hadn’t come up with myself which saved me many headaches. She was patient and answered all of my questions. And the day of she was impressively efficient and kind while wrangling our giant family and keeping the day going just as planned. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding weekend and I am so grateful for everyone who made it possible!

The Orchard at Caney Creek was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding. The costs were a little higher than we initially thought that we wanted. However, the conv...
enience of everything on property, the attentiveness of the staff, the quality of the food, and just the overall beauty of the venue eventually convinced us. I am so glad that it did. Haley checked in every step of the way to make sure we were aware of what was going on and what next steps needed to happen. It was like working with a well oiled machine that somehow wanted to make your individual vision unique and come to life. The BBQ was what we had for our rehearsal dinner and the chicken marsala is what we had for the wedding night and I will say we had guests going back for not just seconds or thirds. The venue worked extremely well with my other vendors, even the ones they'd never worked with. Overall I just always felt confident that we were in safe hands to execute our perfect wedding. Thank you OCC!

The Orchard at Caney Creek is a beautiful venue with awesome staff! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. We got tons of compliments from our guests about...
how beautiful the venue is. We got married in April 2024, so the trees were blooming which added to the beauty, but we visited in the wintertime and the venue is also wonderful at that time of year. The food is really good, and the fact that we can bring our own alcohol (we brought beer and wine from HEB) definitely saved us some money on the bar tab. Working with Haley throughout the planning process made things so smooth, and it is part of the reason we really enjoyed wedding planning. The OCC provided a low-stress wedding planning experience which I didn’t originally think was possible, and I am very grateful for that! The location of the venue is great too; it’s very tranquil out in Wharton. We honestly don’t have any complaints, and I’d recommend this venue to anyone.

We got married at The Orchard one week ago, and it was the absolute best and most beautiful venue we could have chosen. To quote many of our guests, “This is the most beautiful ven...
ue we have ever been to”. Even for our June wedding, the tree cover kept the property relatively cool, despite the hot day. The food was absolutely amazing, and our day of coordinator (Lily) was an absolute miracle worker on our day. The list of recommended vendors they provided helped us create a perfect team to create our wedding day. I highly highly recommend booking a day of coordinator, and also reserving the houses for both the wedding night and having the rehearsal dinner on property. We loved having our wedding here, and can’t wait to have our professional photos back! Highly, HIGHLY recommend

Getting married at the Orchard at Caney Creek was the best decision I had made for my wedding. From the day my husband and I toured the venue, we knew it would be our first pick. T...
he venue is located outside of major cities, and it is peaceful and beautiful. We especially loved that they were almost all-inclusive, and they had on-site accommodations, which made it easy for my husband and me to navigate and even gave us a moment to soak it all in before and after we got married. Haley, the venue manager, who was also my day-of coordinator, was excellent! Haley made wedding planning and wedding day seamless. Her work ethic is impeccable. She was helpful whenever I had questions or doubts and always responded promptly. Throughout the process, she wasn’t afraid to make suggestions; she was patient with me on moments when I was undecided, and she was flexible with changes. On the wedding day, her team was very professional; they worked seamlessly, and the quality of service my family and I received was great. It was so great that multiple guests kept asking how we found them.
For the soon-to-be brides, I highly recommend you book this venue; you will not be disappointed!

to our coordinator, Haley. Haley provided such professionalism and kindness towards everyone she interacted with (even my Dad, and he's hard to impress, haha). I received so many praises about her and I am so extremely glad we had her as a day of coordinator. We took advantage of the "wedding eve" package as well as the "after party" and I have NO regrets. It was awesome to have that extra time with our guests while being taken care of by the staff at the Orchard. A big reason why we chose the Orchard is because of all of the options we had, everything was flexible and it did not feel cookie cutter. Communication was great, food was great, accommodations were great, basically everything was great. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Thank you to the Orchard for making our dream come true!

I couldn't have imagined a better place, or group of people to have on the Wedding day.
The day was calm, relaxing, and EVERYTHING (I seriously mean everything) was taken care of because of how present this team was.
Haley was my specific coordinator and she listened to my fiancé (now husband!!!) and I all year long about the vision we had for our big day, and she truly made it come to life.
I genuinely cannot recommend this venue and this team enough. If you're considering it, DO IT!

The Orchard at Caney Creek is the absolute best place we could have found to get married. It's perfectly tucked away while still being close to the highway. It has the best Airbnb-...
style houses to stay at and get ready in. The ceremony sites are picture-perfect. The reception space was just the right size for our wedding. The onsite catering was absolutely delicious. The best part of the OCC is that they cover so many things - they provide the TABC-certified staff and all mixers, they cut your cake, they have wonderful coordinators and staff (shoutout to our coordinator Haley who was a godsend), they allow an after-party, and so much more. Everyone that attended our wedding commented on what a perfect venue it was! I would get married here all over again.

s so helpful, and all of food tasted great! The service staff and bartender were also very nice, and are great at what they do. We had gone with the Wedding Eve and the After Party packages so that we could host our families and wedding party onsite for 2 nights, and I love how it worked out! After the reception was over, our older guests were able to leave while the younger crowd stayed on-site a bit longer to hang out, which was so much fun! Finally, I have to give the biggest shoutout to Haley, the coordinator that works with the venue. We decided to opt-in for their coordination package, and it was the best choice we made for the entire wedding. Haley is truly the guardian angel of weddings- she asked for our preference on details I never would have thought of, she helped set up both our ceremony and reception decor, and she truly just made everything fall into place. She made sure we ate and had drinks when we wanted them, and once everything was done, she helped box everything up so it could be put away into cars for the night. Being a Type A person, it can be harder for me to let someone else take lead on things, but with Haley it felt so natural, not to mention she handles every situation so gracefully! Using The Orchard for our wedding and having Haley help us is a decision I would make 1000 times over again!

We worked with the Orchard’s coordinator Haley Sabrsula who truly was a dream wedding coordinator! I do not know how we could have done the wedding day without her help!! From ensuring the day went smooth to making sure the decor was perfect to coordinating vendors - she did it all! Haley made our day so smooth and worked to make our whole day the best day of our lives! We loved getting married at the Orchard!!!

It’s a beautiful pecan orchard with a creek and an indoor dining space. It’s in Wharton, and they have charming little houses for your guests to stay in overnight. Lots of pretty p...
laces to take pictures!
The food is delicious. Guests raved about it. Add on the charcuterie board for your cocktail hour. Definitely worth it!
I did a lot of my own wedding planning, so I really appreciated that they had a preferred vendor list. You're not required to use their list, but it really helped me a ton because I didn't have to research vendors.
Our day of coordinator Haley was sweet and calm. Can’t say enough positive things. We got married outside in the orchard, but I also liked that we could have gotten married inside if the weather had been bad.

y nothing for me to handle on wedding day. If you’re hesitant about booking a day of coordinator at The Orchard, just do it!! Jeff, the owner was also super helpful and friendly to work with. I ended up wanting my ceremony space moved the morning of the wedding and he got out there himself and got it handled and organized. The food catered through the venue was absolutely amazing too! So many people came up to us at the wedding telling us the food was SO good! There was a great discount for our Friday wedding too. We also loved the fact we had the houses on the property for the night before and the night after. We didn’t have to worry about family and wedding party driving around before or after the wedding and we got to continue the party after the reception, which was amazing for us to spend more time with everyone. We had an absolutely perfect day and there was nothing we would have changed! It was just beautiful and we loved every moment of it! HUGE thank you to The Orchard at Caney Creek, Haley, Hannah and Jeff for making our day perfect!

ely incredible! We did the Wedding Eve package so we were able to have our rehearsal dinner there and have guests stay over night for both rehearsal dinner and night of the wedding- I HIGHLY recommend this (All the guests with children loved this)!
The property is beautiful and made for a perfect outdoor ceremony. Every detail of the decor on the property is impeccable- we were blown away at all the small design touches in the houses we stayed in.
Hannah and Haley were INCREDIBLE and AMAZING! I am so thankful we had them both as day of coordinators.
We initially booked our wedding in January 2020 but due to COVID postponed to November 2021, the staff made this transition SEAMLESS and so easy.
THE FOOD- WOW, everyone LOVED it. Also, the mixed china pattern plates for the place settings was the icing on the cake and what sealed the deal for me booking them.
I just honestly can't recommend this venue or the staff enough, our wedding was beyond my wildest dreams.

I cannot begin to thank Hannah and the rest of the OCC team enough for everything that they did leading up to and on the wedding day. Our day was magical and wonderful thanks to the Orchard.

We were married at OCC a few weeks ago and could not have chosen a more perfect venue. The Orchard is an incredibly beautiful place with extremely knowledgeable staff that go above...
and beyond in helping to make your planning easy and your wedding day fun. Susan, Hannah, and staff are respectful and work hard to meet your needs for your wedding day. The atmosphere of OCC is magical and romantic. When the sun sets, the trees glow in the light, making pictures amazing.
Many details, such as linens, silverware, flatware, and catering, are included in the price which saves you time and effort during your planning process. All the prices are upfront without any hidden fees or charges, which is so helpful when you are trying to budget for the big day.
We opted for their Wedding Eve package, which allowed us to stay on site with our friends and family Friday night as well. This is one of the big reasons we loved our experience with OCC. By having an extra evening with our friends and family the night before, it felt like a weekend getaway and the wedding day felt much more relaxed and fun. We had so many guests tell us the grounds were beautiful and that the food was delicious.
If you are considering this venue, we highly recommend that you visit in person and meet with the staff. We knew the OCC was our venue from the first visit and you may too.
Thank you, OCC!

This venue was FANTASTIC! It was so naturally beautiful with all the trees and the creek that it needed very little decorating. The whole place was simple, light and airy. Many of ...
our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.
Our families loved the setup of the venue as well. We all stayed for the weekend (got there Friday, left Sunday), which made things a lot less hectic. It was nice to get some family time together while finishing up some crafts for the wedding. We all had our own space but there were enough big common areas for people to hang out, too. It was great!
Last but certainly not least -the staff! I can’t say enough good things about the staff. They helped with WAY more than I expected them to. Once I showed them what I wanted they setup the centerpieces, did almost all of the setup for the ceremony site, setup the prop table for the photo booth, my coordinator Hannah even wrote the flavors of my cake in cute calligraphy and it looked amazing! The owners, Susan and Jeff, were there to help every step of the way as well. My DJ was stranded in Chicago the night before the wedding and they were right there at 11pm texting people they knew so that we would have a DJ.
You couldn’t ask for a more friendly, fun, professional and compassionate group of people to work with. If I had it to do all over again, I would choose them and their gorgeous venue hands down.
