New Braunfels' Best-Kept Secret: Weddings at Willow Ridge
New Braunfels is full of beautiful wedding venues, but there is one tucked away at the top of the Hill Country that still surprises couples the moment they arrive. Willow Ridge at Camp Fimfo Texas Hill Country pairs sweeping views, thoughtful design, and on-site lodging into one unforgettable wedding weekend. If you are searching for a Texas Hill Country wedding venue that feels like a hidden gem, this is it.
A View You Won't Find Anywhere Else
Willow Ridge sits atop a secluded plateau within Camp Fimfo's 475 acres, just above the iconic Guadalupe River. From up here, rolling hills and wide-open Texas skies stretch out in every direction. As the sun goes down during your reception, the whole ridge glows, and your photographer will thank you for it.
Designed With Intention
Every detail at Willow Ridge was planned with couples in mind. The venue was designed by Waco architect David Nisbet, known for his work on Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Market at the Silos. The result is a modern space with Hill Country charm that feels elevated without ever feeling stuffy.
Ceremony, Reception, and Everything in Between
Willow Ridge is an all-in-one wedding venue, so you never have to move your guests from place to place. Say "I do" at the outdoor ceremony site overlooking the hills, then head into the climate-controlled reception space or out to the covered patio. With room for up to 300 guests, it works just as well for an intimate celebration as it does for a big Texas party.
Cozy Moments by the Fire
Cocktail hour gets a little extra warmth at Willow Ridge thanks to the outdoor fireplace. Guests can gather around, take in the views, and toast the newlyweds before the reception kicks off. Add in the built-in wood-fired pizza oven, and late-night snacks become one of the most talked-about parts of the night.
A Wedding Venue With Lodging
One of the biggest perks of getting married at Willow Ridge is that your guests can stay right on-site. Camp Fimfo's cabins sit just a short walk from the venue, which means no shuttles, no long drives home, and more time celebrating together. Two cabins are also set aside for day-of preparations, giving you and your wedding party a private space to get ready.
The Expert Behind Every Detail

Every wedding includes the expertise of Bev Mahnke, our Wedding and Event Manager, who brings more than 25 years of wedding industry experience in planning, coordination, and venue management.
