Are you planning a wedding in the Texas Hill Country and dreaming of something more personal than a giant ballroom.
Wrenwood Ranch just might be the answer you've been searching for.
This hidden gem offers something rare: the charm of the Texas Hill Country, the comfort of onsite lodging, and the flexibility to make your wedding day truly yours.
Why Wrenwood Ranch
Small weddings are memorable in a whole different way. They let you focus on what really matters—your people, your story, and your future together. Here at Wrenwood Ranch, we’ve built something intimate, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hill Country.
Couples come here when they want to skip the chaos and create meaningful moments with the people they love most. Whether it’s a ceremony under the oaks, dinner on the lawn, or dancing under the stars, Wrenwood Ranch is designed for connection.
A Texas Hill Country Wedding Venue with Heart
Nestled on 14 private acres in Johnson City, Texas, Wrenwood Ranch is centrally located near Fredericksburg, Dripping Springs, Johnson City Texas, and the 290 Wine Trail.
But it feels a world away—in the best way.
This isn't a massive event hall. It’s a smaller venue. We host weddings for up to 175 guests, but our sweet spot is much smaller. Think candlelit dinners, wildflower bouquets, Hill Country sunsets, and the kind of laughter that echoes through the trees.
What Makes Wrenwood Ranch Different?
We’re more than just a venue—we’re a family-owned retreat, built from the ground up by Chad and Keisha Watkins, a husband-and-wife team who traded in the suburbs and a busy ICU schedule for cedar trees, fresh air, and a dream.
Here’s what sets us apart:
✅ Intimate Setting
Our open-air chapel and natural landscape create the perfect stage for heartfelt vows.

With seven thoughtfully designed cottages, your closest family and friends can stay right on the property. Five of our cottages are pet friendly, too—so yes, your furry ring bearer is welcome during designated seasons.
