Hayes Hollow at Hidden Falls

, pressured, or overwhelmed, because she handled everything with such grace and organization. She was incredibly flexible and always one step ahead. My husband had a surprise planned for me that she helped coordinate behind the scenes, and I never caught a single hint and that’s how good she is at what she does. The day itself would not have happened the way it did without her. She was everywhere at once, handling every little detail and putting out fires before I even knew they existed. She made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Mallori is truly amazing at her job, and my wedding day would not have been the same without her. If you are looking for someone who is organized, communicative, discreet, and genuinely passionate about making your day perfect look no further. If there were more stars I would put them 

was really important to us to book an all-inclusive venue so we could have a stress-free planning experience, and Hayes Hollow gave us exactly that without sacrificing anything along the way. The only thing to note is that it was a little difficult to find housing for guests nearby, but everyone ended up within about 20 minutes of the venue, so it all worked out. Thank you so much to the Walters Wedding Estates team for helping us start our marriage on such a strong and special note

edding day fantastically. We had to make several day of changes and it all want smoothly. We had a great time and so did our guests!

e day was perfect! 

nal, so organized and paid close attention to details, she was fun and genuinely cared about what my husband and I wanted our wedding day to look and feel like. Walter’s estate vendors were all in house from our photographer, our catering, florals, DJ, and more which made the wedding planning process go so smoothly. All vendors were so incredible - delicious food, amazing photographers (can’t recommend Sierra enough!!), DJ did so great we keep getting compliments on how great everything went at our wedding. 

s Hollow at Hidden Falls had it all, even a waterfall. Three suites! Family, Groom, and Bridal were all wonderful to have and each had ample space for everyone. The venue is owned and operated by Walters Wedding Estates - a corporate guru that owns many wedding venues in TX. They operate like a full on sales pitch in the beginning, but we did get a nice add-on for free when we signed our contract. The showcases they hold at the venues are the best opportunity you have to learn more about the exclusive vendors that are offered through the venue. Attend as many of these as possible before your wedding to sample their food and bakery items. Tastings of food and cake/desserts are not free if you purchase catering, which we didn't love, but we dealt with. They have different tiers of packages with pricing that starts fair/reasonable to more on the upscale/expensive side if you're looking for add-ons. We chose packages that included catering, bar, stationary, photo booth, DJ, photography, and bakery. This included staffing. We DIY'd all of our event decor and florals, but decor and floral packages are also offered through the venue. We do feel we saved a lot of $ by going with the packages of vendors rather than hiring different vendors individually. This part was really convenient in the long run, and the teams we worked with through the venue on our wedding day were all fantastic and their staff was wonderful. Pertaining to the journey leading up to wedding day, Walters' planning staff seemed to have quite a lot of turnover when we first signed on. Initially, we were assigned a planner that was awful. She did not know simple answers to questions about the venue space, nor did she respond to many inquiries we sent her. Out of nowhere, a new planner was assigned to our wedding, and she seemed much better equipped to do the job. She ended up getting moved around and then a third planner ended up being our final person to work with. Enter Malorri James - the wedding planner queen of all. Malorri made up for all the lack of communication and knowledge we received from our first planner. Finally, we felt like someone was in control, doing the job we hoped they would, following up with all the details, Q&A, and reminders. Malorri was a shining star, including on our wedding day, when we felt we needed someone to really step up and into the coordinating role. Walters assigns a day of coordinator but we never spoke to, met, or got to know her until one week before the wedding. We did not like this and we felt that Walters really should be getting your coordinator involved and introduced at least 1-2 months ahead of the wedding. Our day of coordinator was not the greatest. Family and wedding party kept telling me she was nowhere to be found and when she was, she couldn't answer anyone's questions regarding timeline or what they should do next or be ready for. Kind of the whole point of coordinating a wedding should be to know the timeline. Malorri stepped in after bringing this to her attention and immediately, the vibes changed. She made up for our day of coordinator's shortcomings - which we are incredibly thankful for. Our wedding day turned out to be beautiful, guests were raving about the gorgeous venue space, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. We are so thankful to Malorri, and all the vendors we worked with through Walters for our wedding day.

Hallow or Remi's Ridge with Walter's wedding events!

), the planning was stress free (Malorri is amazing at addressing every detail without things becoming overwhelming), and the day of felt so smooth (Malorri is an angel and made us feel very well tended to the entire day). The "all-inclusive" venue is for sure the way to go. We were still able to customize our wedding how we wanted to because of the variety of options Walter's offers. We never felt limited to what we could do (we didn't receive any grief, even if our requests may have been inconvenient). We also appreciated that we never felt pressured to add "extras" to our day. We cannot praise Malorri enough - she is truly wonderful at what she does. We feel as though we gained a friend in her!

h job to ensure we did not miss anything. She had a detailed tracker and continually followed up on items that needed to be completed. She was patient, kind, understanding, and supportive. When I was unsure about the dressing, she went above and beyond to work with the chef to design a dressing I wanted for Walter’s house salad. She also partnered with us to allow the Alamo Café queso fountain during the happy hour. During the day of, she was tentative and thought of everything. The little things matter, and she does not skip a beat. She checked in on me several times and continually asked if I needed anything. She also supportive of doing two rehearsals, one with me and one without my future husband. After the ceremony, she brought our specialty drinks to the wedding party while we took photos. She ensured that everything was on time and the evening went smoothly. After the reception, she also helped clean up and stayed with us until midnight. Lastly, she wrote us a lovely card and opening it the next day was a surprise. Malorri is such a pleasure and joy to work with. She puts a smile on your face, and her personality is infectious. I have very high expectations, trust me, and she is the right person to get the job done. You would want her to plan your wedding and any future events! Our wedding was a dream come true, and I am truly blessed to have her be a part of our special day.

rocess were exceptional. The way you seamlessly coordinated everything allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment and enjoy every second. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you once again for everything! Warm regards, Joseph

hing we hoped it would be. Our photography team was spectacular, along with our DJ, Dez. The food was also delicious. There were a few hiccups with communication about 9 months before our wedding, but, besides that, everything about the venue and it's staff were great!

ial night! Trinity in particular made sure to let us know what to expect next. Was our runner, and listened to the brides every requests. I really liked that she memorized the whole wedding party. It was like we had known each other for a long time!

ially loved the all inclusive option with all of the other vendors, from Cake to floral, food and beverage as well as the photographer.

ly did everything they could to make our day special and how we wanted.

nue was. Fajita buffet was really good. The day of coordinator, Trinity, was a pleasure and worked tirelessly. Noel, who we had check in meetings with, instilled confidence. Emma the DJ was great as well as Olivia the photographer. I would recommend Hayes Hallow Hidden Fall. The all inclusiveness was the right choice for us.

t the day, but she did her best to resolve them all in a timely manner. It did seem as though the groom's suite was forgotten about. We couldn't get our TV to work and we ran out of drinks. Neither matter was completely resolved, but in the end it's such a small thing I didn't care. Ultimately the most frustrating aspect of booking with Walter's was the inconsistent communication. Whether the meeting was 5 months out or 5 days out we were constantly answering the same questions. Questions that Aniah still had for us day of. On top of that every meeting was qith someone new. Maybe the lack of communication was the fault of us, but it seemed as though Aniah wasn't told much of anything we had planned. This makes me think we should have just worked with Aniah from day one. Essentially, there were too many cooks in the kitchen. Not sure where to post concerns about the properties on site, but we had confirmed a 12pm checkout and got rushed by the cleaning team at 11am telling us we had to be gone or we would be charged a fee. We ran out of many paper products and towels and we didn't have hot water in the main house at the Treehouse. This made getting ready every morning fairly difficult. In summary, management in general felt difficult to get in touch with, and like it was constantly changing, so we had to recommunicate everything to the next person. However, Aniah did a great job getting everything together, and making our big day move on without any major speedbumps.

ording to plan and was a huge help in creating the best wedding that we could have hoped for. Aniah and the venue were both amazing and everyone had the best time! The wedding went off without a hitch! I highly recommend this venue and Aniah was great!

great hands!

b!

ia the guest portal which is cumbersome and often takes longer than a phone call or an email. We loved the venue itself and that alone was the main reason we chose to be married here. The food was okay, about what you would expect from a catered meal and the open bar was wonderful. We also had a great time with the DJ and the system he used to submit song choices.

who was by far the best coordinator I've worked with in the last 13 years of business. The bride, family, guests and other vendors along with myself had nothing but amazing comments about Onyi's professionalism, work ethic, knowledge and overall personality. We fell in love with her and this venue!

helped me put my veil in before walking down the aisle which is more stressful than it sounds (: we loved having her around throughout the day helping out all the wedding party & family. It was a perfect day!

gosh! They were so amazing! Start to finish. Hands down. Everyone was so great at helping make our day as wonderful and stress free as possible. They were on top of everything, from planning to set up to take down. 10/10 will ALWAYS recommend!

e staff were all helpful and nice. The food was good. Leading up to the wedding they kept in contact, met with us periodically and answered any questions we had. Overall, I was very happy with venue.

n rude to us and eventually unresponsive to our needs. Onyi, our day of Coordinator was truly an Angel. She saved the evening. My daughters wedding was on Saturday evening. Friday evening they had another event in the space. The next day, when we arrived for our scheduled time, the venue was FILTHY. I only wish it could have been as clean as it was when we came to see the place and agree to pay $50k to rent the space and all the homes, casitas, etc. The Lookout house had no water pressure so we were unable to shower for two days there. Not acceptable. The service for our seated meal was so slow that that people started eating the cookies we had at a cookie table. The food was not that great, but I guess for the amount of people we should have expected as such. The filet was not a filet, maybe a cut of roast? Either way, we did have a lovely time and in the end, the bride and groom were happy.

ndors and services they offer. Kayci our day of coordinator couldn’t have been more perfect! Our day ran so smoothly and if there were any hiccups I did not know about them. I couldn’t recommend them any more! 💓

ite is spacious and adorable! But, the best part, was our coordinators. Kayci and Aniah, truly went above and beyond for us on our wedding day! When we arrived in the bridal suite after several post-ceremony photos, they already had some appetizers and cocktails waiting for us. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food, drinks, and the DJ from CoHost Entertainment. It was truly the most perfect day and we wish we could re-live the day over and over again!!!

e, responsive and handled every situation with promptness and professionalism!!! We even forgot some items at the venue that were needed at the church for the wedding and Kayci drove and met us half way so the items could be used in the wedding!!!! Above and beyond! This is the type of service we received during the entire event!! The venue itself is very beautiful ! Even in 105 degree weather! We can’t thank Kayci and Aniah enough for making this such an amazing reception!!!
