Roddy Tree Ranch

Allie and Rhea Roddy probably didn’t realize the trend they were setting in the 1930s when they opened their home to family and friends in their “little corner of heaven” in Kerr County. Weekend and summer visits paved the way for what has become a continuing tradition of couples uniting in matrimony under the heart-shaped wedding arch, surrounded by cypress trees and a memorable view of the Guadalupe. A reception in the open-air pavilion, draped with twinkling star lights and tulle, provides a perfect Texas coda to the happy day. Owners Keith and Gretchen Asbury welcome all wedding parties just the way Gretchen’s grandparents, Rhea and Allie, would have done.

Canyon Lake Ranch

The Guadalupe takes a breather just west of New Braunfels at Canyon Lake, another popular spot for water-sports lovers. The staff at Canyon Lake Ranch pride themselves on the variety of wedding day accommodations they offer. An intimate private ceremony exclusively for the bride and groom includes a two-night stay at the Starview, one of two quaint rustic lodges at Canyon Lake Ranch. A choice of country or city settings for the ceremony and reception are possible, since innkeepers Dan and Robbi Boone also own the Alamo Street Victorian Inn in the famous Riverwalk section of nearby San Antonio.
