Introducing Windemere Farms

Windemere Farms is a modern ranch style wedding venue conveniently located just a few miles from downtown San Marcos, Texas. 

As you enter through the charming rod iron gates of Windemere Farms, expect to be mesmerized by a full canopy of trees that hug the road as you continue towards expansive fields that are home to horses and bison lazily munching grass in the lush fields. Once you reach the top of the hill, you are greeted with a sailcloth tent adorned with flags that playfully sway in the breeze, and charming old world stone structures.

The 500-acre ranch evokes a classic style that’s both refined, and modern. If you are looking for an elegant space that radiates old-world charm, Windemere Farms may be just what you are looking for!
