Kindred Oaks

There just aren't enough words to say how wonderful Kindred Oaks is! Our day was absolutely perfect, despite the rainy weather! Their facility is absolutely gorgeous, and 1 month later, we are STILL getting compliments about how wonderful the facility is, and how nice and courteous the staff is. We decided to move the ceremony into the pavilion at the rehearsal, and on the day of they made it look like we had planned it that way all along! They didn't bat an eye with the changes we made at the rehearsal, and they really put me at ease. I really do think our plan B (by the fireplace) turned out prettier than the plan A would have been. So gorgeous and perfect for a winter wedding! Elaine and her staff were so nice and responsive when we had questions/concerns. The all-inclusive package is worth every dime, and probably saved me from tons of extra stress. I didn't worry about a thing on my wedding day, b/c I knew they would have everything handled. They let me be able to sit back, get pampered and enjoy the day to the fullest. If something went wrong on my wedding day, I'm not aware of it - either nothing went wrong, or they didn't tell me - which is exactly as it should be! Their honeymoon suite is absolutely gorgeous! They added so many nice little touches for us (leftover flowers from our wedding, cake, leftover wine/beer), they just made us feel right at home, and the little touches just made our night extra special. I can't thank Kindred Oaks enough for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect at Kindred Oaks. From our first meeting Elaine was extremely helpful and provided so much input into making our day extra special. Elaine and Steven have worked so hard to make the venue unique, and even in the year up to our wedding have made so many wonderful changes to the venue to really set it apart from other places in the area. On the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly that I kept wondering when the first hiccup would come (as everyone expects one issue on their wedding day) and it never came. The staff worked so hard that day that everything went perfect and it honestly was the best day of my life. After the wedding, I received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how unique it was.

I couldn't dream of a better venue to get married at. The venue was so beautiful there is natural greenery and flowers where not much decorations was needed. Eliane and her staff were so helpful in planning and when we had questions they were very easy to get in touch with. On our wedding day they assisted with those finishing touches so that the wedding went off without a hitch. I would recomend Kindred Oaks to anyone. Demetria

I loved Kindred Oaks! We had such a beautiful wedding, and everyone who worked there was really nice! The only issues I ever had were with Eudora's the primary culinary vendor they work with, but as we were able to bring another company, it worked out great! I love the amount of time they give you, it really makes for a calmer wedding, and adds to the environment. It was also really nice getting to stay the night there and not have to worry about honeymoon details for at least a little while! I loved it and would definitely recommend it!

This was one of the best experiences of my life! They made it so easy and stress free. The Texas package was awesome! Everything they promised and more was taken care of and everybody had the best time!

Kindred Oaks made my wedding day, the best day of my life!!! The owners, Elaine and Steve could not have been more helpful-throughout the planning process and on the day/evening of. I can not express how smooth my entire day went, from 12pm-11:30pm-there was not one hiccup, mistake, or problem!\r\n\r\nI would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a FUN, relaxed, beautiful TEXAS hill country wedding!

I'm Elaine's daughter, so some might think that I have a biased opinion about my experience, but everyone who works at Kindred Oaks does their best to treat every one of their brides like family, so I'm not too far from any other bride who has gotten married here :) The only thing about having my wedding at a family run business is that pretty much everyone who works there was invited as a guest, so there weren't many people to work the wedding! The fact that my wedding still went off without a problem tells you how well things are run at KO. My mom made it clear at the beginning of my wedding planning that I didn't have to get married at Kindred Oaks but for me it wasn't much of a question. Even removing any family ties from the situation, the beautiful atmosphere still made it the perfect place for my wedding. In the end I'm still technically biased, but read all of the other glowing reviews on here and know that I'm not alone in my assessment! :)

Wow! Kindred Oaks is a wonderful place for a wedding and we highly recommend this venue in all ways. What a lovely setting in the trees. Everything was just beautiful. Owners Elaine and Steve are easy and fun to work with and they really work hard to make the place look great and function great; they made our special day very special! We wound up with great weather but their pre-designed and built-in “rain plan” took the worry out of the weather. The on-site honeymoon suite was a very “sweet” topper to the evening. It was beautifully set up (candles, flowers, music, champagne, Jacuzzi) and being able to kick back immediately after the big event without any travel time was a superb treat for the bride and groom, as well as having access to the kitchen for a late night snack and being served breakfast the next morning. The floral folks at ZuZu’s Petals provided beautiful high quality service and flowers. Their bartender team (Amy at Hill Country Events) was fun and “spot on” with their suggestions (great Sangria). Thanks to Elaine and Steve and Kindred Oaks for an incredible wedding and many outstanding memories!!!

Elaine and the team at Kindred Oaks truly does treat you like family. They take care of every detail and walk you through every step of planning. On the actual day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch and it was absolutely gorgeous, and everyone had an amazing time. We worked with Heather from ZuZu's Petals and she did an incredible job - everything was beautiful and just what we hoped for. I wouldn't have changed a minute of my wedding day or the planning leading up to the day, and it's all because of the amazing, dedicated staff at Kindred Oaks.

Kindred Oaks is an absolutely beautiful venue and it was everything we wanted and more. Elaine is wonderful and gets to know you on such a personal level and makes you feel welcome at all times.

Oh my gosh...I can't say enough how much I am in love with Kindred Oaks. Fairy tale venue, with Elaine as a fairy godmother. T he price may be high for some tight budgets, but it is worth every penny...and truth be told, it is not bad at all for what you get. Not only do you get this amazing venue for both ceremony and reception, you get your tables, chairs, help cleaning up AND your honeymoon suite for your first night married is on location...plus the most decadent breakfast ever = AMAZING. I love this place and am so glad we picked it for the wedding...we want to come back just to do the bed and breakfast. Totally, yes, you should get married or host your event here.

The owners and staff at this venue are nothing short of amazing. They made us feel right at home and were always available. They made our day as special as it deserved to be. I don't think that we could of accomplished that with out them.

We couldn't of asked for a better wedding day! Everything from the staff, service and venue was phenomenal. And Zuzu's Pedals did an extraordinary job on our flowers. The best part was that they are onsite at Kindred Oaks! Even though it did rain at our wedding, it was a blessing in disguise! It is a memory we will always cherish and remember and are so glad we chose Kindred Oaks as our venue! We would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone!

Elaine and the team at Kindred Oaks really made our day special. It started from the first time we met. Elaine remembered my name and date every time I called, all the way to day of, they remembered sooo many small details that I forgot. The venue was beautiful and awe inspiring. All of my guests raved about how beautiful the place was. I truly believe that could not have gotten better service from anyone or place in Texas. Thank you Kindred Oaks. -The Claytons

Elaine and Steve are absolutely fabulous! She was wonderfully patient with our families bombardment of questions. She made us feel like old friends of theirs with the attention she gave us as a couple. Even when disaster struck, she and Steve went above and beyond to give us a magnificent day. I can not say enough wonderful things about Kindred Oaks ... in fact, I would love to do it all over again!

This is the first place that my husband and I fell in love with instantly! Then, we met the staff and it was a done deal. Elaine and Steve are wonderful to work with! We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of our wedding and everything was perfect. Great communication, great service, great people, and a great venue. I would highly recommend Kindred Oaks!!

If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue in the Texas Hill Country, then definitely give this place a look. I loved this venue from the minute I set foot on the property. The wooden plank dance floor and the twinkle lights are lovely for dancing, and the stone walkway to the ceremony site is gorgeous. While other venues in the area have similar concepts, this one is best because they upkeep the property regularly, always making improvements over the years. Elaine, her husband and her team are WONDERFUL to work with and help out with WAY more than they need to. They went above and beyond for us to make everything go smoothly. Brides--the bridal chamber where you change with your girls is AWESOME. There is a massive full-length mirror that everyone agreed makes you look thinner and mirrors throughout for your bridesmaids to use to put on makeup, as well as a big ol' wall-length closet to hang dresses, and a bathroom and a shower. Plus, you have a full view of the ceremony site and you can watch from the window as your guests show up! I loved it!

Beautiful, dream venue, but expensive. I would recommend. Owners and staff are wonderful to work with.
