Jennings Trace

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Montgomery, TX
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Nine wooded acres just outside Houston set the stage for Jennings Trace, a contemporary wedding venue built on clean lines and confident restraint. Vows happen inside the glass-enclosed Wildrose Chapel, where polished concrete floors, black steel beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding forest instead of blocking it out, letting natural light do the heavy lifting. That same modern sensibility, punctuated by sculptural accents and architectural precision, carries into the reception hall, while an outdoor lounge lit for cocktail hour extends the evening beneath the open Texas sky. Nothing here feels dated or over-decorated; every surface reads intentional. Hosting up to 350 guests, Jennings Trace pairs sleek, contemporary design with genuine natural surroundings, making it the contemporary wedding venue of choice for couples who want their celebration to feel unmistakably current, polished, and completely of the moment.

Iron Manor by Walters Wedding Estates provided an incredible space for our wedding day. The venue was elegant and modern, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. While the communication from the venue staff was sometimes great, Jillian, the day-of coordinator, took care of everything seamlessly. From the 4-5 month mark to the day, I didn't have to worry one bit about timing or logistics, as she ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish. The value we received for the space was incredible, and we're so grateful to the Iron Manor team for helping make our wedding day truly special.

I'm overjoyed to have chosen Ashelynn Manor for my wedding on August 31, 2024. From the moment I met Pam at the Bridal Extravaganza, I knew I'd found the perfect venue. The stunning pictures and warm welcome sealed the deal. We pulled off our dream wedding in less than a year! If you're on a tight timeline and planning a wedding in six months or less, Ashelynn Manor is definitely worth considering. We started looking at the venue in March and had the wedding in August. Pam and Gazi's down-to-earth, personable approach made me feel at ease. Their exceptional customer service and all-inclusive package sold me. With top-rated vendors and seamless planning, I could focus on enjoying my special day. Ashelynn Manor's beauty and amenities exceeded expectations. The venue's decorations were perfect, and I loved the photo booth, 360, and fireworks – our guests raved about them! Pam's outgoing personality, family-oriented approach, and availability for questions made planning stress-free. I highly recommend Ashelynn Manor for an unforgettable wedding experience. Thank you, Pam, Gazi, and the Ashelynn Manor team, for making my dream wedding a reality!

We love Olde Dobbin Station! It was a beautiful venue, staff was great, really had no issues aside from some miscommunication at the end of the reception regarding the bar tab. My MIL was covering the bar tab for us… she paid the set up with her CC and thought at the end of the night they would just run her CC again to cover the tab. She left the reception at 9. As we were about to leave we were told “your mother skipped the bar tab.” It wasn’t intentional on my MIL part. So we had to frantically try to get ahold of her to pay… she was sleeping so there was issues. It was all taken care of, but was a very stressful 30 min for the bride and groom when we are supposed to be enjoying ourselves and getting ready for our send off.
