Just had my daughters wedding at Bentwood and it was amazing. This is a beautiful venue. The staff…read morewere great. We looked at several other venues and chose Bentwood because of the serene beauty of the grounds. The reception area has beautiful wood tables and a stage with a lit dance floor. Stage area set up for DJ or Band with lights strung throughout. There is a wonderful walkway down to a pond area with an alter. There are 4 rooms that come with the weekend package. 1 with bunkbeds, 3 with queen size beds. The grooms area was set up with a pool table, dart board and refrigerator to keep the boys occupied while the girls got ready in a beautiful bridal room. Other venues we looked at gave you a couple of hours before and after the event to set up, have the ceremony and then clean up. We liked the fact that with the weekend package we could set up on friday, enjoy saturday and clean up Sunday. They have several packages to cover almost any need. We have been to several weddings this year and I have to say that Bentwood was by far the best venue.

They are flexible and allow food trucks (we did Mandolas Mobile Pizza oven for apps and Chuys for dinner, and they both worked out great!). I even had my horse in my wedding! The venue is gorgeous, all of our guests were amazed. I'd call it "rustic chic". We couldn't be happier to be married in such a beautiful place. The venue is further out there so you will want to either have guests drive or organize a shuttle from your host hotel (ours was Sheraton in Georgetown). We had a great experience with Keyshaun from Keys Shuttles Inc and Fly-Rites will go there too!

We rented Garey House for our daughter's Tangled/Rapunzel-inspired Sweet Sixteen, and it was such a…read morewonderful experience from start to finish! The booking and planning process was incredibly easy, especially with the client portal. I really appreciated having reminders and convenient links for making payments and purchasing the required event insurance. It made keeping track of everything so much simpler during an already busy time. We decided to keep the décor fairly simple because Garey House and the surrounding grounds are beautiful on their own. We also opted to use several of the décor items Garey House had available, which made it easy to bring our Rapunzel-inspired vision together without having to source everything ourselves. One of the biggest hits with both the teenagers and the adults was the lawn games on the turf area. It gave everyone a chance to get outside, visit, and have fun throughout the party. It was especially nice to have an activity that appealed to different ages. We hired a coordinator from Garey House's recommended list and a caterer from their approved list. Both were great choices. The caterer was especially accommodating with my very picky daughter's meal request, which was such a relief as a mom! Candice was also extremely helpful throughout the planning process. She offered suggestions for the layout that helped us make the most of the space and create a flow that worked well for the party. Overall, Garey House was the perfect setting for such a special milestone. The beautiful venue, easy planning process, helpful staff, and flexibility with our vision made our daughter's Sweet Sixteen a night we will always remember!

Attended a family wedding held at the Garey House on Sunday, 12/22/2024 and just wanted to share my…read morefeedback - POV wedding guest. See the photos/videos included in this review of the beautiful Garey House grounds. The Garey House makes a beautiful backdrop for photos. The contrast of the stone, wood, and outdoor lighting is perfection! The wedding ceremony was held outside where there is an outdoor pavilion located right in front of a small pond. The setup was simple, yet so elegant. Just an fyi, during the ceremony that there wasn't any shade coverage for the guests in attendance. Thankfully though, the wedding I attended was held in late December (3pm) so our Texas sun wasn't as hot as it is during summer time and the ceremony was short but sweet. A Flower wall was setup outside as well so guests could take photos in front of it and there was a separate area for sit down eating and small area for dancing. Helpful Tidbits: 1.) parking: Garey House is located within a 525-acre park so upon entering the park, you'll come to a booth where the park employee will give you a parking pass to put on your dashboard & also give directions on getting to Garey House. There is plenty of paved parking located right in front of GH so ladies, don't panic about having to walk a long distance in those high heels (you're welcome;) Hope this info helps! Rebecca

The Perfect Boho-Western Dream Venue in the Texas Hill Country!…read more If you're searching for that magical Boho-meets-Western vibe for your special day, look no further than this hidden gem nestled right in the Texas Hill Country.

From the moment you drive up, the atmosphere is simply stunning--it truly is the cutest western venue imaginable, providing the perfect scenic backdrop for photos.

Her hands-on dedication eliminates so much wedding stress! Tricia was fantastic at helping us secure great local vendors, advising on the decor setup, and most importantly, ensuring every single moment on the big day ran flawlessly. This venue is a must-book for its comprehensive amenities. They are essentially all-inclusive, providing virtually everything you need: elegant tables, comfortable seating, gorgeous linens, and an abundance of charming Western and country decorations. It's the ultimate turnkey spot for a beautiful, stress-free Texas wedding or event. We wholeheartedly give this venue five stars and our highest possible recommendation.

Scheduled Classic Catering to handle the food for a promotion party. The ceremony started at 10am,…read moreas was clearly explained in the various email correspondence I had with them. During those email exchanges, they explained they drop off the food at 9:30 for my 10am event. At 10am, I am holding off my ceremony as I try to figure out where the caterers are. I try calling, and get a busy signal. I call again, and get someone who tells me the driver is in route and should be there any minute. Then, the company calls me back and says that the driver is lost and has been trying to call me, but I won't answer. Since I am holding my phone, and repeatedly trying to call them, and answered the second they called me, I am pretty sure the driver is not making any attempt to call me. I hand off my phone to someone else to direct the driver to the location (which I had given directions to in the emails), and go to the ceremony. After I get promoted, we go back into the conference room, and still no food. It's not 10:35-ish, meaning they are over an hour late. Finally, at 10:45 he shows up and starts setting up. Meanwhile, my guests are leaving because there was no food. After the ceremony, I called to make payment and ask for something to be done to credit me something, since they were 75 minutes late. I'm told that the driver explained to them that he got there at 10:07, and had all the food set up before my guests were there. I'm also told that it's "His story, my story, and the truth." Like I am making the whole thing up. Eventually, they gave me a 10% discount, which on a party with over $800 of food - most of which had to be thrown away because my guests were gone - was not nearly enough for being 75 minutes late - and for treating me like I am trying to lie to them and get over on paying them. I will say - the food was good, and they were great on getting everything scheduled. It's just the delivery was horrible and will keep me from going back to them.
