Located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Harper Hill Ranch is an event venue like no other.

Situated on an 128-acre ranch right outside of New Braunfels and San Marcos, Harper Hill Ranch is a unique event venue that opened in the Fall of 2018. Nestled in the trees up on a hill, you’ll find the ideal space for your destination wedding, banquet, corporate retreat, family reunion, and more.

You’ll fall in love with our beautiful stained-glass windows and sparkling chandeliers that hang in our temperature-controlled Barn. From the stamped concrete floor to the tin ceilings and reclaimed wood doors, our carefully planned details set us apart from other venues. The barn is over 7000 square feet and includes indoor event space, bride room, groom room, caterer’s kitchen, 2 bar areas, silo bathrooms, and a covered outdoor patio. Maximum capacity for events is 250 guests.

Take a step back in time when you enter the Ranch House that has origins from the 1880’s. It is full of historical character while also providing modern conveniences to make your stay as comfortable as possible. With space to sleep up to 27 people, the house also provides many spaces to entertain. Included with the house is a covered outdoor kitchen; a large pool with a swim-up bar, grotto, waterfall and hot tub; basketball and volleyball courts; and many other amenities for you to enjoy.

Owners, Amy and Steve Stanfield, found and purchased this beautiful property in the Fall of 2017. What was a basic barn, Amy envisioned a beautiful space for weddings and other events. She drew her vision on paper and by the Fall of 2018 it was a reality. Amy continues to incorporate more ideas each year to enhance the amenities and space.

Amy works full time at the Ranch and Steve is an optometrist in San Marcos. With the help of their talented and loyal staff, their goal is for couples to experience their best day ever at Harper Hill Ranch.

RANCH ANIMALS

When you come out for a visit, you’ll be greeted by our adorable (and sometimes ornery) miniature donkeys - Louis Vuitton, Prince Henry and Mr. Big - and Hank, our adorable Scottish Highland cow. You may also get to see our beloved Longhorns and miniature Herefords hanging out up on the hill waiting for some treats. We have fond memories of our llamas, Cash + Carbon, who are no longer with us.

featured WEDDINGS

Charli and Carter

Prior to their wedding, Charli and Carter had their engagement photos taken in our bluebonnet fields with some special guests. In June of 2023, they were married in an indoor ceremony in front of our beautiful stained glass windows (with a fun “flower boy”). After the ceremony, we flipped the space into the dance floor with a sweetheart table set for the couple. They hired Sue Bee Vintage Rentals + Design to decorate, as well as provide rentals and florals for a gorgeous summer setup. We took Charli and Carter on a ride after dinner to capture some more stunning images in our fields. This fun night ended with a beautiful bubble and light stick exit.

Grace and Caleb

Grace and Caleb got married in February of 2022 in a beautiful indoor ceremony in front of our stained-glass wall.

frequently asked questions

Where are you located?

Don’t let our Seguin address fool you! We are conveniently located off FM 1101, just 8 miles from Creekside Crossing in New Braunfels. Our address is 12300 Huber Rd, Seguin, TX 78155. If you drive by, you’ll see our beautiful stone front gate/entry, a winding road, lots of trees and maybe our longhorns. The venue itself it nestled up on the hill in the trees, so you get the best of both worlds - hill country privacy and shopping conveniences nearby. Give us a ringy-dingy if you want to see the venue, as it’s private and available to tour by appointment only.

What packages do your offer?

We currently offer two packages - one during the week and one for the weekend. Our most popular package (the Best Weekend Ever) is designed to help you have a less-stressful, more relaxing wedding experience. Not only do you get to stay on-site for two nights, but you also have early access to decorate on Friday; a place for your rehearsal dinner; some amazing Sue Bee Vintage items included; access to a coordinator; meet our cool ranch animals and more. Please see our pricing section for more details.

What is the venue’s capacity?

The Barn was renovated in 2023 and we now have a capacity of 250 guests for events. This includes space for a dance floor, bar and more. We’ll help you create a layout that’s perfect for your big day.

Do you have on-site accommodations?

Yes, we have a historical Ranch house that can sleep up to 27 people. Amenities at the house include a stocked kitchen for your cooking needs; TV room; game room; Instagram-worthy claw-foot bathtub in the master bathroom; a large in-ground pool with hot tub; outdoor covered kitchen with built-in propane grill; basketball court; lots of historical charm and more!

The suite above the Barn (a.k.a. the Groom’s suite) sleeps up to 3 people. Amenities include a pool table; shuffle board table; kitchenette area; TV; king-size bed and more.

On-site accommodations are included in our Best Weekend Ever package because it wouldn’t be as fun without them.

What are your catering and bartending rules?

We do not offer in-house catering or bartending. We focus on providing you the best space for your wedding and leave the food and drink to the experts.

We do require you hire a full-service catering company who is properly licensed/insured. We have many great caterers we highly recommend on our preferred vendors list (available upon booking). If you hire someone not on our preferred list, they will need to sign our catering contract outlining services to be provided and rules, as well as provide us with a certificate of insurance with us named as an additional insured. All caterers are required to stay for the entire event, serve food, buss tables, manage trash throughout the event and put trash in a designated place at the end of the night.

For bartending, we currently have five TABC licensed and insured bartending companies that are approved to work at our venue. Clients must hire from this list for their event. All of the companies do allow you to provide them with the alcohol to be served. All rules and regulations of the State and HHR must be followed. A few designated catering companies on our preferred vendor list are also allowed to bartend when hired for catering at your event (to be verified with Venue Manager or Owner first).

What are the rehearsal dinner rules?

When you book the Best Weekend Ever package, you are allowed to have your rehearsal dinner in our outdoor-covered kitchen/pool area the day before your wedding. The maximum number of people allowed for the rehearsal dinner is 50. We do let you borrow some tables and folding chairs from our storage to use for rehearsal dinner, if needed. Set-up, teardown, tablecloths, food, drink, decor and clean-up are the responsibility of the client. You are not required to hire a catering company for your rehearsal dinner. The Barn venue is not available for rehearsal dinners. Warning, our longhorns may come up and watch you eat.

What ceremony space options do you have?

We have both an outdoor and indoor option available for ceremonies. And no worries if it rains - we will go over a rain plan option during your walk-through meeting and it’s supposed to be good luck to have rain on your wedding day anyways.

Do you require event insurance?

Yes, we do require that you purchase general liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence, with a $2,000,000 general aggregate. Event insurance must be purchased and a copy of the certificate provided to HHR no later than 30 days prior to your event.

What A/V equipment do you have?

We have a projector with audio which can be used to show videos or pictures during your event. It projects on our back wall and is not able to be moved to another location. A laptop with an HDMI input is required or you may provide the video/pictures on a USB memory stick that is compatible with a PC (notice must be given ahead of time). All other A/V needs are to be provided by the client by hiring a DJ and/or live musicians. And please don’t hire a lame one because your guests need some cool entertainment.

What are our options for send-off?

If there isn’t a burn ban on, sparklers are allowed (up to 20 inches long), as well as cold spark machines (to be run by an insured professional). We also have a bubble machine that we love to run and clients often enhance the bubble experience with a few bubble guns of their own. Glow sticks, ribbon sticks and no-mess wedding streamer tubes are also a fun option. We don’t allow items like confetti, glitter, cascarones, birdseed, lanterns, balloons, artificial flower petals, and other non-environmentally friendly items, because who has the time to clean up stuff like that.

How do I book a tour?

Private tours are available by appointment only. We offer both in-house tours and virtual tours via FaceTime. Contact us here to book your tour or give us a call at 512-214-1614. Tours are usually available Tuesday-Thursday and some Sunday afternoons (based upon availability). We do not allow tours to be taken while an event is going on, as we value our clients’ privacy. At least once a year we have a fun open house where we are open for tours and you get to meet some really cool vendors.

How do I know if my preferred date is available?

Once a date is booked, we mark it on our online calendar. When you open our calendar, it will default to the current month. You can click on the arrows located by the month title to advance to the next month. Booked dates will have information written on that date’s square. Please note, not all blank dates are available for events, as we need adequate time to clean our facilities after events and make sure it’s ready for you. We are also usually closed on Mondays and major holidays because everybody deserves a break (and the owners’ bulldog is needy and wants cuddle time with his parents).

How do I book my date?

Once you’ve made that important decision that we are the venue for you, you’ll need to sign a contract and make your first payment to secure your date. Dates are available on a first come, first serve basis and cannot be held. The first payment is a minimum of 25% of your package total. The normal payment plan after that is 3 more payments of 25% each. The due by dates will be included in your contract. All payments made are non-refundable.

Are you kid-friendly?

Yes, children are allowed at the Ranch for events (if they are invited guests). However, they must be supervised at all times by an adult. We do not offer babysitting services and do expect you to keep your children with you and make sure they are behaving. The Ranch is not a playground and there are areas that are off-limits to all guests. We ask that you please respect our space and boundaries. We work hard to keep our place looking nice for events. Please also note bathrooms are not equipped with diaper-changing stations.
