First of all this venue is beautiful. My wedding guests all loved it and kept saying “I feel like I have left houston and I’m on vacation”. Even though it rained on my day the venue was beautiful and it just added to the charm of the whole day. Now to the star of my wedding. The one who made it happen more perfect than my vision: STEPHANIE!!! She was amazing, all my wishes, my visions, what I communicated…. They just popped into life. Yes my other vendors helped but Stephanie was so amazing, she made my big day effortless. People kept coming up to me asking who my wedding planner was because the day went so smoothly and I said no one, my husband and I planned this wedding, Stephanie executed it all. This venue is worth it. The all inclusive packages are a steal. The cake was amazing, the flowers were all fresh and done in the most beautiful way possible it was divine. The DJ was phenomenal. They know what they are doing! I was so stressed things may not come together or things may fall apart but the Townhall team just handled it all. They are truly the best! Thank you all so much for the perfect execution of my dream wedding!

Wow. We had our wedding here the past weekend and I don't even know where to begin! From the day we booked the Homestead to the day of our wedding everyone has been nothing short of exceptional! Alexis, the owner, is the most kind hearted person you will meet. You can tell she truly cares about her couples and wants to ensure you have a great experience. Alexis was thorough and very transparent with pricing. Many venues we looked at had a lot of hidden fees but at the Homestead they are upfront with everything which is very much appreciated. We scheduled a private tasting (only because the group tasting was on a later date that didn't work for us). We were so excited after we tried all of our food options. It was honestly so hard to choose because all of the options were so good. I was honestly pleasantly surprised. Fast forward to the wedding day and everyone of our guests complimented us for how great the food was! They served 232 people in 10 minutes. I swear the team came out of the kitchen like the avengers lol. Another big thing I appreciated was that Alexis and Loretta made sure the bride and groom had fresh appetizers served to us along with our signature cocktails after we took our family photos. I was NOT one of the brides that didn't eat on her wedding day. I ate a lot lol. AND they even boxed up fresh meals for us at the end of the night with two slices of our cake. We are so happy that we chose the Homestead! They truly made my dream wedding come true!

About wedding venues in Rye, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day. The state is home to countless venues that showcase authentic Texas character while still matching your personal style. Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests. Many Texas venues incorporate unique regional touches you won't find elsewhere; live country music that gets everyone dancing, mouthwatering BBQ stations and custom boot favors that celebrate local heritage. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for. The national average runs about $6,500-$12,000 which represents roughly 25% of your total wedding budget. Your overall wedding costs will depend largely on how many people you're inviting to share your special day:

Guest CountAverage Total Wedding Budget
50 guests$19,410
100 guests$32,365
150 guests$44,545
200 guests$55,433
250 guests$66,322
300 guests$77,211
In Texas specifically, venues typically account for about 16% of your total wedding budget with couples spending an average of $6,932. This gives you plenty of room in your budget to customize other elements of your celebration that matter most to you and your partner.

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away. If you're considering Houston, you'll find venues that thoughtfully incorporate bayou landscapes alongside sophisticated cosmopolitan amenities. Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere. Fort Worth venues perfectly blend Western heritage with modern conveniences for a uniquely Texan experience. November emerges as the most popular month for venue inquiries across the state, so you might want to plan accordingly if you're interested in this popular time frame.

How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Texas Venue?

Texas couples typically book their wedding venues about 16 months (or 457 days) before their wedding date. November stands out as the most popular month for venue inquiries so planning early is essential if you're considering this timeframe. This advanced booking timeline helps you secure your preferred date since popular venues often fill their calendars far in advance especially for prime weekend dates. Booking early also allows you to lock in current pricing before annual increases that many venues implement. Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in Texas?

Madera Estates in Conroe stands out for its commitment to accessibility with fully paved event spaces that accommodate wheelchair navigation throughout the property. You can host up to 330 guests here and the venue is frequently praised for physically walking through accessibility needs during the planning process. You'll also find excellent accessible options at Jennings Trace near Houston which offers single-level celebration spaces. Hummingbird Hill Weddings in Chappell Hill prioritizes inclusive design throughout their venue and The Preserve at Canyon Lake features wheelchair-friendly pathways connecting all major celebration areas. These venues ensure all your guests can fully participate in your special day regardless of mobility considerations.

Which Texas Wedding Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Bell Tower on 34th in Houston delivers exceptional dining experiences under Executive Chef Sergio Arellano. His international culinary team creates gourmet meals on-site that will impress even your most food-savvy guests. Food-focused couples should also consider Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin where you'll enjoy spectacular views alongside premium cuts of Texas beef. Cisco's Salsa Company near Tomball has built a reputation for their award-winning Mexican cuisine that adds authentic flavors to your celebration. Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in the Houston area offers a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience with tableside carving and a festival atmosphere your guests will remember long after the wedding day.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.

What Wedding Expenses Should You Budget for in Texas?
