Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Sleek, contemporary design meets pristine natural beauty at this refined venue, nestled on nine acres of lush East Texas woodland. The custom-built event spaces are dramatic and modern, with architecturally dynamic angles, plenty of brick, glass, and metal details, and a chic black-and-white aesthetic that plays beautifully with any style or vision.
- You’ll say “I do” before a backdrop of soaring oaks and pines, whether you opt for an al fresco ceremony or exchange vows in the striking, glass-enclosed Chapel. In the gorgeous modern reception hall, skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and frame more sweeping views, with easy access to the outdoor spaces for a gracious flow.
- Thoughtfully curated, tiered all-inclusive packages are a signature of the Walters Wedding Estates collection. Over the past two decades, this family-owned company has curated a distinguished group of Texas and Atlanta venues, all featuring signature customizable package selections and the priceless assistance of kind, dedicated event planners.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers
At Jennings Trace in Montgomery, Texas, venue rental is $2,500 Monday–Thursday, $4,500 Friday or Sunday and $7,500 Saturday. From there, you'll build your package: catering runs $33–$67 per person, beverage service $24–$52 per person, and vendor services $3,000–$9,550. Friday–Sunday dates require a vendor services minimum, and a 22% service charge, sales tax and a refundable rental deposit are added on top. Flexible on your date? A weekday cuts the rental by $5,000 compared with a Saturday, and it's worth asking about seasonal savings, too.
Jennings Trace is an all-inclusive venue, so your rental covers planning services, your ceremony and reception spaces, a backup plan for bad weather, primary and secondary wedding suites, and a one-hour rehearsal. Tables, chairs, linens, cocktail tables and display easels are included, along with setup and teardown of your floor plan. What you'll add: a catering package, a beverage package and vendor services (think florals, photography and a DJ), plus a 22% service charge, sales tax and a refundable rental deposit.
Yes, everything happens on nine wooded acres for up to 350 guests. After getting ready in one of two private wedding suites, you'll say your vows in the glass-enclosed chapel, with vaulted ceilings, stone accents and black steel beams framing the pines and oaks. The reception follows in a modern hall with skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Montgomery countryside.
You'll use the in-house team for catering and bar service, and no outside alcohol is allowed on the property. For everything else, you can bring your own vendors, as long as each one provides a signed indemnification agreement and a certificate of insurance before your wedding. Prefer fewer contracts? Walters' vendor packages bundle florals, photography, DJ services, cakes and more. Just know that Friday–Sunday dates require a minimum vendor services purchase.
There's no lodging on site, but several hotels are within a 10-minute drive, with more in Conroe and The Woodlands, and your Walters team will talk through accommodation options with you. Jennings Trace is less than 5 minutes from Montgomery and about 60 minutes north of downtown Houston.
Jennings Trace is an all-inclusive, modern venue on nine wooded acres in Montgomery, Texas, and with room for up to 350 guests, it's one of the larger venues in the area.
