The team at River Yurt Village was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always punctual, calming and easy, making the planning process a breeze. The value they provided was truly outstanding - they set up all of our tables, chairs and even executed our vision of having drapes in the outdoor ceremony building, going above and beyond to make our day perfect and exactly how I envisioned it! The bonus of having a place for our whole family to stay the night in the gorgeous yurts was awesome for our out-of-town and close friends and family. My whole bridal party stayed in one yurt, while my husband's groomsmen stayed in another - it was so convenient and made the whole weekend feel like a special getaway! We couldn't be happier with the service and quality we received from River Yurt Village, and would recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Center Point, TX

  • Starts at $6,000

A woodsy wedding festival venue with giant Scandinavian Tipis for adventurous, outdoorsy couples looking for a unique, low-stress wedding experience.

We are all-inclusive and aren't about nickle and dime'ing couples with rentals of things. If you want it and we have it, you can use it. We have an ever-growing decor and festival option inventory that couples get to shop from as they plan their day. Plus we have an on-site woodshop where Mike makes everything we need to make your whimsical wedding in the woods happen! We are sentimental folks, and operate a very hands-on wedding experience, making sure every detail is taken care of.

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Unique barn setting
  • Provides event staff

Venue considerations

  • No venue-provided food services
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • No free parking
Awarded Best of Zola
I must start by saying that the venue owners Alex and Mike are truly some of the kindest individuals I've ever met. As of now, they custom create a wooden item from the trees on the property for each couple to enjoy even after the wedding is over. Mike has made things from custom ring boxes to the couple's sweetheart table. The Scandinavian tipis aesthetic is unlike any other local venue. It very much fits both a rustic or bohemian feel. There are plenty of beautiful pieces already on the property such as the half-moon, the macrame, and the boat to mention a few. Lastly, one of my favorite places to photograph is the couple up on the ridge at sunset. It's a tiny hike, but takes preparation when it comes to your choice of shoes, but it's totally worth it! The venue never fails to surprise me every time I return.

Absolutely stunning and so easy to work with. The venue itself truly doesn’t need much décor—the chandeliers and overall style speak for themselves. The chapel is just as beautiful, and the on-site lodging was a huge plus. We worked with both Megan and Libby throughout the process, and Megan was our venue coordinator on wedding day. She went above and beyond and was incredibly hands-on. I would 1000% recommend them and hiring their in house coordinator to run your wedding day. (we hired externally and wish I just hired them)

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Spinelli’s. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, every corner is so thoughtfully designed, and it provided the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was, from the lush surroundings to the elegant setup and cozy atmosphere. What truly made our experience unforgettable, though, was the incredible team behind the venue. The staff were kind, professional, especially Pedro, and so accommodating throughout the entire process. Communication was always easy and clear, any questions we had were answered right away, and they went above and beyond to make sure every detail came together seamlessly. You can tell they truly care about their couples and take pride in what they do. On the day of our event, everything ran perfectly. The staff made sure the space looked beautiful, coordinated smoothly with our vendors, and helped create such a welcoming environment for our family and friends. We felt so taken care of and stress-free, which allowed us to really enjoy every moment. We also loved how well the venue photographed, every picture turned out amazing, and we’ll cherish those memories forever. It truly captured the magic of our day. We’re so grateful to the entire team for helping make our rehearsal dinner and wedding weekend everything we dreamed of and more. If you’re looking for a venue that’s not only breathtaking but also run by a team who genuinely cares, this is the place. We would choose Spinelli’s again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone planning a special event!

I got married at the Milestone in February. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! The venue itself is stunning!! The hill country is so green and gorgeous for photos. They have a little bridge over a pond that is adorable and the inside of the venue is so warm and inviting with a beautiful staircase. When you book with the Milestone you get a wedding planner as part of the package. Taylor was my wedding planner and she was AMAZING!! Not only was she so available for questions and helping me figure things out, she had lots of really helpful suggestions I wouldn’t have even thought about. Also she sent me a ton of really cute pictures/videos she had taken of me and my husband behind the scenes at our wedding. The wedding went so smoothly and the venue has the process down perfectly. I didn’t have to deal with anything going wrong on the day of. It was cold and drizzling on the day of the wedding and they were able to pivot so efficiently to move the ceremony inside and it still looked beautiful (plus we still took pictures outside)! The only thing you should be aware of is the venue adds a 20% fee to everything they charge you for. They’re upfront about it but it’s just something to factor into your budget when planning. I definitely recommend the Milestone!!
