Their Terrace Grill has excellent, farm fresh food. They try and use the resources they have on the ranch including their own beef cattle, and fruits and vegetables.

They have a pool and Guadalupe River access also if that's your thing. If you want a quiet, relaxing getaway, this is the place to go.

I even hear it's been a movie set a time or two. Wow! First time here was way back in 2002 for an event during the 15th Annual International Nissan Z Car Club Convention. Second was in 2018 for Old West Christmas Light Fest which was such a lovely event with all the lights at night and fire pits for s'mores. Third time is a charm in 2019 for both a private event in Dec during their light fest. I really do enjoy here, love the atmosphere on the ranch, and the friendliness of the owners and staff. Enchanted Springs is a perfect setting for a true Old West / Texas experience event. Everything included, even some live Longhorn cattle can be found around these parts. Yee Haw!

I came a little late, so there was a row of chairs in the very back. It offered a first glimpse of the bridesmaids and bride walking in. The inside is simple gorgeous, yet at the same time quaint and beautiful. Lovely bright windows make it perfect for a morning, afternoon or evening wedding. It can be dark if it was on a day without natural lighting. The grounds are gorgeous, and I cannot imagine how much more beautiful it would be on a summer day. We went to a winter wedding in January, but the garden area was still very nice with metal arches and some foliage around. The event space is perfect for anyone who loves glass windows and light. It pours through into the dining area and offers a lovely outdoor view. I can see it might be challenging in the summer with the heat from the windows, but it was simply perfect for this event. There's a long hall that is perfect for a buffet or dancing that offers some privacy from the dining area. I like how you can split up the activities so there is not so much crowding or awkward people watching during the buffet table and dancing. I would highlight recommend any prospective brides or event planners to check our this space. There's a lot you can do with it, despite being a little far from town.

BRIDES BEWARE. At first I was so excited to have found this venue. The chapel, reception space, and…read moreon-site accommodations seemed too good to be real when I signed the contract... boy was that true! The price is affordable, but the manager (Pedro) sent me 2 different invoices trying to charge me different prices AFTER I signed my contract. I had to forward him our previous emails with the contact and then screenshot and re-send the prices listed on the venue's website in order to make sure I was getting the correct price. When we did our final walk thru we talked about having the decorations (fake flowers, candelabras, table, etc.) in the chapel removed and Pedro told me that was no problem. He did not mention any additional price for the removal, nor was that listed in the contract but THE MORNING OF MY WEDDING he strong armed my father out of $250 for him to have someone take them off the stage. The kicker was he didn't even have all of the decorations removed! The candelabras and table were still there and my bridesmaid had to do it for us. During the initial consultation I was told that we pay a fee and that covers the beer, wine and bartender and everything over that fee we settle at the end of the night. During the final walk thru my fiancé asked about liquor being served. Pedro told us if we purchased our own liquor he would be able to serve it. Due to the increase of guests (now over 100) the bar fee would increase from $500 to $795. Again, THE MORNING OF MY WEDDING, Pedro tells my fiancé that there is no beer or wine because he claimed we would be bringing the entire bar. When asked what the $795 for the "bar cost" on our invoice included Pedro said it covered the plastic cups, ice, and bartender. We had to have a family friend go to Costco 3 hours before the start of our wedding to get the alcohol needed so our guests could enjoy an open bar. There was a line item for "coffee and soda" on our invoice, which was supposed to supply separate soda from the bar. The only soda available was poured from un-refrigerated liter bottles and was used for both non-alcoholic and alcoholic soda servings. We were charged twice for sub-par refreshments and couldn't do anything about it because it was the day of our wedding. The accommodations are convenient, but include zero amenities. There were not enough towels for everyone, dead cockroaches in the Rectory House, sticky floors, poor plumbing, no cooking utensils or items (e.g. pans, baking sheets, pot holders, etc.), no coffee machine, and poor lighting with burned out or almost dead lightbulbs. We gathered our trash, but didn't have enough trash bags or any cleaning supplies to tidy the place before check out the next day at 9:00am. There is no welcome binder or information for what is expected at the end of the stay nor where to take the garbage. While we were packing up another bridal party was arriving to a dirty house, which begs the question of whether or not the sheets on the bed, houses, kitchens, and bathrooms were even cleaned before we got there. During the wedding reception, Pedro was the bartender not a hired professional like he implied. He made lewd comments to a few female guests and also proceeded to sell the venue's beer (which he originally claimed had no alcohol) for cash even though we had brought alcohol for an open bar. Cash tips were also paid out to Pedro since he was the bartender. Overall, I couldn't recommend this place for an afternoon brunch let alone a whole wedding. Our special day was marred by the unprofessionalism and crude behavior we experienced.

This place has everything you could ever imagine if you're looking for a outdoor hill country vintage or modern look, from white long benches down the isle to camp fires with s'mores surrounded by the ones you love under a big wide open starry sky!

Just inside the iron gates are several patio areas and the facades of old-timey general stores and such. Inside the dance hall itself is a large dance floor, amply picnic seating (on two floors) Texas flags and sparkly celing lights and plenty of wall kitsch like posters of John Wayne. The bar is fully stocked and you can hire your own caterers. The hosts of our party had hired Bill Miller's BBQ to cater and they did a great job. The bartenders were quick and friendly and the bathrooms were clean. But the real centerpiece of awesome is the stage and stage bar. Our hosts hired a great band who kept us dancing and invited plenty of group participation, like having all the ladies take the stage and sing along to "Mustang Sally" and during "Sweet Home Alabama" they even got the bride up on the stage bar, which was then lit on fire, and had her dance on the bar and the flames danced at her feet.
