Where Rustic Charm Meets Affordability
If you’re searching for an affordable wedding venue in the Texas Hill Country, look no further than Wrenwood Ranch. Nestled on 14 scenic acres just off Highway 290 in Johnson City, Texas, near Fredericksburg Texas, this hidden gem blends Hill Country beauty with down-to-earth pricing—making it easy for couples to host a gorgeous celebration without breaking the bank.
At Wrenwood Ranch, affordability doesn’t mean giving up style and the ability to personalize it into your dream event. Every detail—from the modern event barn to the cozy on-site cottages—was designed with intention, handcrafted by owners Chad and Keisha Watkins. Their vision was simple: to create a Hill Country wedding venue that feels personal, beautiful, and attainable.
Affordable Doesn’t Mean Basic
Many venues in the Hill Country charge extra for every small add-on—tables, chairs, even the time you spend setting up.
But Wrenwood Ranch flips the script. Your rental includes:
Wrenwood’s newly built event venue with indoor and outdoor spaces
Tables, chairs, and outdoor ceremony seating
Bridal Suite
Access to seven private cottages, perfect for family or wedding party lodging (six are pet-friendly!)
Freedom to bring in your preferred vendors and personalize your day your way.
That kind of flexibility is what will allow you to personalize your special day.
Lodging That Feels Like Home
The seven on-site cottages each has its own style and story. Your guests can stay close to the celebration. No shuttle buses, no long drives, just an easy walk from the venue to their cozy Hill Country stay.
Couples often reserve the property for the entire weekend, turning their wedding into a mini getaway with friends and family.
A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Wine Country
Located between Fredericksburg and Johnson City, Wrenwood Ranch sits along the famous 290 Wine Trail. That means your wedding weekend can include winery visits to William Chris Vineyards, Siboney Cellars, Lost Draw Cellars, and even Garrison Brothers Distillery—all within minutes of your ceremony.
Guests can explore local tasting rooms, grab brunch in Johnson City, or relax on the ranch and enjoy the quiet. It’s the perfect mix of fun and relaxation—exactly what you want for a wedding weekend.
Designed for Real People, Not Just Photo Shoots
The Watkins family built Wrenwood Ranch from the ground up—literally. They poured concrete, planted trees, and built cottages by hand. That love and authenticity show in every corner of the property.
This venue is about people. It’s about laughter memories, first dances beneath Hill Country stars, and moments that matter more than the price tag.
Pet-Friendly Options for Your Four-Legged Guests
For couples who want their furry friends to be part of the celebration, Wrenwood Ranch offers six pet-friendly cottages. Because at Wrenwood, even your dog can share the best day of your life.
