Are you currently in the process of planning your wedding day? For those of you who have the big day right around the corner, you’ve likely already taken care of many of the larger details and are simply making the finishing touches. This could include things like creating your seating chart, finalizing specifics with your vendors and so on. However, if you and your partner recently got engaged, chances are you’re working on getting a timeline in-place and figuring out which items you should prioritize first. After celebrating the exciting news with friends and family, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running and start crafting each element of your special day!

Without a doubt, one of the tasks that you’ll want to complete fairly early on in the planning process is going to involve selecting a wedding venue. Considering popular venues can get booked up months (or over a year) in-advance, it’s important to avoid procrastinating on this decision. Having your venue locked in will provide you and your partner with a number of different benefits. For one, you can utilize them as a resource when evaluating potential vendors for other aspects of the wedding. Whether it be the photographer, florist, caterer or any other vendor, the team at the venue will likely have worked with various local vendors on many occasions and can help steer you in the right direction. Not to mention, the venue is going to be displayed in all of your wedding photos, so you’ll definitely want something that is stunning, right? To sum it up, it’s no surprise why it is widely recommended that you start touring venues shortly after getting engaged!

While many of our past blog posts provide wedding planning tips or inside looks at past weddings held at our venue, this week’s blog post is going to be slightly different. For any readers that are new to our wedding venue, this one will be perfect for you! In running a wedding venue in Conroe, TX, we’ve had the opportunity to work with hundreds of couples over the years as they create their dream wedding day. Throughout this week’s blog post, we’ll walk you through the various components of our venue!

Grand Fireplace

We’ll start off with one of the popular backdrop pieces at our venue and also something that you’ll see featured many times on our Instagram page. Whether it be for an outdoor ceremony, garden reception, a final dance under the stars or even a sparkler send-off, the area in front of the Grand Fireplace can work flawlessly for each of these scenarios. By the way, it will definitely look stunning in the wedding photos as well, including for your formal photos with family and/or your wedding party.

By the way, looking to add a unique touch to your wedding ceremony? Consider holding a twilight ceremony in front of the Grand Fireplace. With the string lights overhead, candles scattered throughout and the stars lighting up the sky, it truly will be a magical experience! Add in a firework display at the conclusion of the ceremony and you’ll have an amazing celebration!

Hacienda

Just as you’ll see the Grand Fireplace featured on many occasions throughout our social media pages, the same can be said about the Hacienda. If you’re looking for a wedding venue in Conroe, TX that offers the ability to host part (or all) of the wedding day indoors, then the Hacienda can be the perfect solution. It’s capable of being utilized for both a ceremony and a reception. From the crystal chandeliers to the artisan feature walls, candle-lit lanterns and more, the Hacienda can definitely add a touch of elegance to any wedding celebration!

Worried about the weather throwing a curveball on your wedding day? Make sure your wedding venue has a back-up plan in-place! Considering weddings are typically booked months in-advance, it’s impossible to predict what the weather may look like. With there being both an indoor and outdoor space available at Madera Estates, you can rest assured knowing that the Hacienda can easily be used for both the ceremony and reception.

Champagne Suite & Whiskey Lounge

At our wedding venue in Conroe, TX, we have two getting ready suites that couples can utilize as they prepare for their big day. With each of these spaces, you’ll have more than enough room to relax and get ready for the day’s festivities, all while being surrounded by your bridesmaids or groomsmen. The first of these two suites is called the Champagne Suite. This suite includes a little bit of everything as you and your besties will get all glammed up for the big day, as well as snap a few pics at the beginning of this memorable day. Included in the Champagne Suite is a dining room, dressing room and lounge area, hair and makeup room, and restrooms.

The second of these two suites is called the Whiskey Lounge. With a big screen TV, foosball table, private bathroom, and more, this area is perfect for enjoying some time with your groomsmen. Not to mention, once you’re all spruced up for the ceremony, you will definitely want to capture a few photos (whether that be in the Whiskey Lounge itself or elsewhere on the property).

In the end, we want your wedding day to be as stress-free as possible. Having the getting ready suites on-site can definitely help in making this a reality and preventing you from having to rush from one place to another. With stress out of the picture, you’ll have the ability to enjoy every single moment of your big day!

Other Areas

While we highlighted several of the primary places of our wedding venue in Conroe, TX above, there are definitely other areas to utilize as well. This includes a covered bar area and a second story veranda that can be used, as well as countless picturesque spots throughout the property. Long story short, you’ll not only have plenty of room for an unforgettable ceremony and reception that your guests will love, but also an array of backdrops capable of creating an amazing wedding photo album too!
