The Orchard at Spring Branch is one of my favorite places on God's Green Earth. Why? Let me count…read morethe ways. 1.   Rick (The Owner, Founder, and probable CEO). 2.   Rick 3.   Rick But beyond the incredible hospitality, if you are also concerned about the property venue and how it presents on a wedding day, trust me here--the space is a breath of fresh Texas air. Incredibly stunning: complete with actual Longhorns (who posed in the background for our photos) and heirloom Texas Prickly Pear. Don't even get me started on the cost of wedding venues in Texas. Rick is reasonable. Read that--beauty on a budget. I'm not sure how long this will last since Rick is new to the wedding venue game. The only "issue" is that Rick loves first. People who love first and love well make decisions for brides that put the bride first. Not the business. I truly can not count all the ways he blessed my particular bride, because they wouldn't fit in a Yelp review, but what I can tell you is that if you have any need, please don't let him give it to you for free. That kind of man. Y'all, we need affordable wedding spaces that take your breath away. But, yes, we also need caring business owners who value the person above the place they represent. Rick represents his family, his business and his clients' needs beyond what is industry standard. Think, far beyond. Case in point: I actually had to remind him to cash my check! He was holding it until we got paid, and then I think he may have even forgotten we hadn't paid yet. Bless his heart! The following are actual quotes from our experience: "Didn't y'all already pay me the deposit?" Rick asked. "Yes, Rick. You held the check but it hasn't cashed. Thank you for working with us," I told him. "Oh. Okay. Let me check with my wife. She handles that." Rick is building and curating this space--one auction house and trade show at a time. I can't wait for you to see the lovely stained glass windows he just installed near the bridal suite. Speaking of which, the bridal suite is fit for a Queen. The Orchard was the first venue we toured for my bride. My bride had already toured multiple venue spaces before when her sister got married a few months prior. Everyone on our side of town agreed: this space was just as beautiful and more in line with homespun Texas/elegance core. Think twinkle lights at night with a dance floor built under the stars. A place for romance that becomes real on a very special night, where two souls knit together as one. I promise this can exist outside of a book. I've seen it with my own eyes. Please go tour here. Especially if you are looking for an expansive outdoor space. If your vibe is more formal, there is a climate controlled indoor dining hall where more sensitive guests can spend the evening. I'm sure, like us, you will tour other places. But, if you're also like us, you will do a complete 180 and high tail it back to the Orchard at Spring Branch. Thank you, Rick. You are a gem of a human. We are grateful beyond measure for your grace, your love and the beautiful sanctuary you've worked to create. May you continue to find joy in offering your utmost for His Highest. With deepest respect, Ally and Blake's Mama

We had the absolute pleasure of bartending at The Orchard at Spring Branch last night, and it felt…read morelike stepping into a Hill Country dream. This property is truly something special. Gorgeous spaces, stained glass windows, endless poetic backdrops for your photos, stunning sunset views, and a dance floor under the stars that is worth dreaming about. And we have to mention the amazing longhorns grazing in the pasture... It doesn't get more Texas than that. The bar area was such a breeze to work in -- beautiful, spacious, and the perfect backdrop for crafting cocktails all night. Everything flowed so smoothly, which makes a huge difference when you're in the thick of service. And Rick, the owner, is genuinely one of the kindest humans we've worked with. Warm, welcoming, funny, and clearly passionate about what he's built out there. 10/10 recommend to any one looking for that refined-but-still-relaxed Hill Country magic. We'd be back in a heartbeat!

She claims we didn't books soon enough but professionalism and customer service shows that she doesn't have the common courtesy to notify her existing customers that other parties from other weddings will be staying in the chateau's around us. This is insane. Good luck being around strangers on your wedding day if you book or stay here. You get to have strangers in chateaus observing your wedding. Isn't that what we always dream about!

I recently catered an event at this venue and need to share a serious concern for other caterers…read moreand potential clients. The space provided for food preparation was completely unacceptable from a health and safety standpoint. It appeared to be a storage room being used as a prep area, with visible mold on the ceiling, standing water on the floor, and a sink containing leftover food from a previous event. As a professional in food service, I can confidently say no food should be prepped or even pass through a space in this condition. The environment was unsanitary and posed a legitimate health risk. I personally experienced an asthma reaction while in the room, likely due to the mold present. I raised these concerns with the owner and was told this is a "dual-purpose" space and that other caterers have used it without issue. My concerns about mold and sanitation were dismissed. This review is a PSA: any caterer or client considering this venue should carefully evaluate the conditions, particularly the food prep areas. In its current state, this facility does not meet what I would consider minimum health and safety standards for hosting events involving food service. I strongly believe this space should not be used for events until it has been properly cleaned, repaired, and brought up to basic health code standards.
