These photos aren’t even the professional photos but I think they still capture the beauty & fun that At The Shire brought to our wedding day! Our wedding day was October 11th and the weather was perfect, be sure to let the tipis up if you get the chance, it really adds to the magic. Everyone who attended had nothing but lovely things to say about the venue and the wedding. Autumn, our day-of coordinator who works at The Shire has a TON to do with how smooth the wedding went! She is incredibly lovely and easy going, but what I appreciated most about her is that she stands on business! She is gentle but firm and these qualities are incredibly important for someone in that position. I usually take full control in most aspects of my life but when it was time to hand Autumn the reins, I trusted her 100000%. I could truly go on, but book here ASAP and you won’t regret it! I also recommend going with the package deal because the vendors are all very familiar with the venue and it helps take a lot off of your plate when vendor shopping. Cheers!Posted onAshley MorenoOctober 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place was absolutely stunning. All the guest mentioned how serene it was. My brother even said he felt a little out of this world sitting in the pews during the ceremony! The golden hour here really was magical. The next day my husband and I walked the premises just trying to soak in the beauty of it all and really making sure we remembered this spot. It is a part of our history now and we don't regret it at all. Autumn was a life saver at many points of the day as well. She really made sure everything stayed tight, thought of ahead of time and flowing. Thank you to Autumn and the people who created this place. It really is special. I replay it in my head all the time. Worth every penny.Posted onmark hernandezJune 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was a groomsman for my buddies wedding here and can say I was impressed with everything. It started raining so hard we thought the sky was falling and between the wedding coordinator my buddy had and the venue coordinator Autumn, they made magic happen. They had a twin plan and executed perfectly. Impressed with the owner, the venue, the venue coordinator and just how well they made sure the wedding went off without a hitch. 10/10 servicePosted onKritsana KhaokrueMay 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "A True Middle-earth Dream Come True!" My husband and I had the absolute joy of getting married at The Shire, and we couldn’t have imagined a more magical experience! We planned a Lord of the Rings–themed wedding, and this venue was the perfect setting to bring our fantasy to life. Nestled near the national park in Huntsville, TX, the natural beauty surrounding The Shire made it feel like we were truly stepping into Middle-earth. All our guests dressed in costume—from hobbits to elves to wizards—and the venue embraced our vision completely. The atmosphere was enchanting, whimsical, and so unique. We had so much fun, and our guests are still talking about how unforgettable the day was! Autumn was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process. If you're looking for a place that feels magical, peaceful, and tucked away in nature, this is the venue for you. Whether you're doing a themed wedding or just love a rustic, enchanted setting, we 100% recommend The Shire. It was everything we dreamed of—and more! Thank you for helping make our wedding day feel like it was written in the stars (or by Tolkien)! — Kritsana & Jerry 💍🌿Posted onSalma Moncayo-ReyesMay 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was such a magical place to get married! Autumn was OUTSTANDING keeping everyone calm and things moving along despite some minor mishaps that occurred. If a wedding wasn’t a one time event, I would get married there all over again ;)! If you’re thinking about it, consider this your sign. You will not be disappointed and you will feel the beautiful energy all around you on your most special day!Posted onDREWMay 1, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This venue is so cute and makes the wedding feel more intimate. Having the camp fire going on during the reception was a hit allowing guest to get toasting! Autumn was such a big help when we had important questions. We are definitely happy we chose At the Shire because of its unique features and overall whimsical feel!

Despite the weather, the guests stayed dry, the tipi was bumping with music, the vendors had an easy time dropping off their wares, and the property is absolutely gorgeous!Posted onDarleneApril 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outdoor, woodsy! Tent reception! Dance floor, buffet dinner, cake, stores after dark with a bonfire!!! Twinkle lights everywhere in and outside... MAGICALPosted onLindsay VariscoApril 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wedding was absolutely perfect here. We were looking for a unique venue in the woods and this location checked every box for us. My husband and I toured the venue with Autumn and she made us feel comfortable by answering most of our questions before we even had them. She did a great job at reassuring us that our wedding would be by our design- not cookie cutter or picked from a package menu. I loved that! The venue itself allowed our loved ones to create warm memories away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It was a perfect day and I’m so happy to have found At the Shire! Thank you Autumn 💕
