The Orchard at Caney Creek

If you are going to be married this is the place, the driveway is exquisite. Jeff Susan and sandy are wonderful people who want to help you on your special day. The food is great and service is top notch.

I booked this venue for my wedding and it was perfect for us. We were on a smaller budget and this venue provided us with a local option for a very classy wedding within our budget that offered all of our needs.
We used the small guest cabins for lodging for some of our out of town family and they were very nice, except there were no televisions so that made it kind of boring.
As a wedding venue, we couldn’t have asked for more. We had about 150 guests so we used the clubhouse and the outdoor patio. We used the on site catering and it was outstanding.
While this venue isn’t as fancy as some Houston venues it offers a beautiful outdoor setting, great catering, and an affordable price.

Another stunning beautiful wedding venue to see! You would never know it but in the outskirts of Texas countryside, lies a beautiful Pecan orchard out in Wharton, Texas. It’s an hour away from Houston so it’s not too far a drive. Even though I drove the 4 hours to get there from Dallas, it was worth it. The thing about the venue has got to be the scenic amounts of space.
NOTE: This review is purely on the basis of a spectator. I have no knowledge of the actual services, prices, or limits that the Orchard offers.
But anyways TONS of photo opps are here. Beautiful trees, a little lake, a Gazebo, and lots of space to walk around.
What’s the real kicker? There are HUGE turtles living in the murky waters around the lake. If you’re lucky you’ll catch one swimming around or if you’re smart you’ll bring bread to lure them towards you.
They even have a few little houses for the guys to chill in with a pool table while the girls are getting ready in another house. There’s also a tiny little home for holding a reception.
The only thing I would note is the lack of lighting at night. They didn’t have christmas tree lighting or anything of that sort which would have been a nice touch in the evening.

The Orchard at Caney Creek is certainly a beautiful venue! I and another person recently coordinated a wedding at this venue, and upon meeting with Susan and Jeff I instantly liked them. Meeting and talking with them a few days before the rehearsal was a pleasure, and when I ran into Jeff on the rehearsal day, and on the wedding day, Jeff was very courteous, and proved to be very, very helpful.
I was shocked to see that not everyone on the venue was as pleasant and helpful as Jeff. Sandy was very brisk and almost cold like the day that we met her (the day of the wedding). My co-​coordinator and I were running around making sure that everything and everyone was accounted for, and Sandy, to say the least, was very unhelpful. We felt like we were in HER way, when we were making sure that everything was set up according to the bride and groom’s wishes. She was snappy and brisk, and was not very professional at all throughout the duration of the night! Any question that we had (and we had some– it being the first time we had been at the venue) left us feeling sorry that we even asked her.
Towards the end of the night, I happened to come upon Sandy (while looking for Jeff) with an inquiry. Sandy, spilled lemonade and water all over the front of my dress– with a good portion of the night to go! She apologized for the spill, but what’s done was already done. My dress was soaking wet, and I had to walk around the rest of the night coordinating in a stained dress. I will say that the wet and stained dress was the least of my worries– it was the lackluster and insincere apology that I received that made me walk away with the thought of how someone could be so unprofessional towards a guest at their venue!
Based on my interaction with Sandy, I would only recommend this venue to future brides if the coordinator doesn’t have to work with her. Perhaps there was a lack of miscommunication and misunderstanding on my part, but if Sandy is going to work with coordinators, then there needs to be a softer personality because after all, we are all there for the same reason– to ensure a great wedding.
