Gruene Estate Event Venue

Gruene Estate is a locally owned and operated event venue in New Braunfels, Texas, situated on the original Gruene family farm in the heart of historic Gruene and designed for weddings, corporate gatherings, fundraisers, and milestone celebrations. The venue features an open-air chapel with stained glass and ornate doors, a reception pavilion, a bridal suite with natural light and vintage-style furnishings, a fire pit, and on-property longhorns and horses set against Texas Hill Country surroundings. The venue is rooted in a property originally constructed by Ernst Gruene in 1856 and is currently owned by Dr. Daniel and Anna Lisa Tamez, who have restored the farmhouse while retaining its historical architecture. Located at 1030 River Road in New Braunfels, Texas, just minutes from San Antonio and Austin, with easy access to the Gruene Historic District. Couples and photographers consistently highlight the chapel's stained glass, the bridal suite's natural light, the on-site longhorns and horses as photo opportunities, the fire pit with s'mores, and staff member Melinde's attentiveness during tours and planning.
