As one of the top wedding venues near Houston, Brenham, and College Station, our 53-acre estate in Chappell Hill provides natural beauty and architectural elegance that shine year-round.

Summer: Long Days and Unforgettable Sunsets
Why Couples Love It

Fall: Cozy Vibes and Golden Foliage
Why Couples Love It
Fall is one of the most popular seasons for a reason. At Hummingbird Hill, autumn sweeps in with crisp breezes, colorful leaves, and that cozy feeling you just can’t fake. The trees along our venue’s property blaze with color, and the golden light stretches across the fields like a romantic filter.
Details That Shine in Fall

- Our indoor spaces offer a warm, welcoming glow for candlelit dinners and festive receptions.
- Seasonal comfort foods like smoked meats or gourmet mac & cheese are crowd favorites.
Pro tip: Our Highland cows look extra charming in fall photos.
Winter: Intimate Magic and Classic Elegance
Why Couples Love It
Winter weddings feel elegant, intimate, and timeless. The grounds take on a clean, serene feel, perfect for couples who want a classic look or a holiday-inspired event. With fewer weddings happening this time of year, vendors are more available—and often more flexible.
Details That Shine in Winter
- Our indoor chapel and reception hall are temperature-controlled and ideal for cozy winter celebrations.
- Add seasonal touches like velvet linens, evergreen garlands, or a hot cocoa bar to wow your guests.
- Twinkle lights on our property add a magical glow during earlier sunsets.
Winter weddings at Hummingbird Hill feel like a warm embrace—and offer a peaceful, intimate close to the year.
Seasonal Decor Inspiration: Ideas for Every Month
Make the Most of Your Month
Want your decor to reflect the season? Spring calls for floral arches and hanging installations. Summer shines with bright centerpieces and al fresco tablescapes. In fall, lanterns and velvet accents add richness, while winter favors metallics, pine branches, and candlelight.
No matter the month, our design team (or your planner!) can help you tie seasonal style into your colors, florals, and table settings.
What to Wear by Season
Fashion that Matches the Forecast
From short sleeves in May to faux fur shawls in December, your wedding wardrobe should work with—not against—the weather. Light chiffon or tulle gowns pair well with spring and summer, while structured fabrics shine in fall and winter. Grooms often switch up accessories: think suspenders and rolled sleeves in summer, layered suits in colder months.
And don’t forget your guests! Your invitation or wedding website is a great place to give dress code tips based on the season.
