Celebrate Your Day!
Host a wedding they will remember.
Congratulations! We wish you the very best in your life together, starting with an unforgettable wedding at Hawkins Hope Ranch! Talk to us about trusted resources, like caterers, photographers, DJs, and more. There’s something magical about getting married under God’s blue sky. Besides, where else can you have an intimate wedding where everyone has enough personal space?
Tope Hall
Available for Day & Night Events.
Tope Hall began its life as the ranch’s working barn, where Edwin “Grandad” Tope stored hay and feed for his cows, goats, and sheep. At the back, a low-roofed sheep shed once stood—its original wall still visible near the restrooms. Today, the Hawkins family has transformed the barn into a comfortable gathering and celebration space. With rustic exposed beams, floodlights inspired by classic Texas dance halls, and striking double barn doors, Tope Hall perfectly blends history and charm.
Las Campanas
Overnight Accommodations with Daily and Weekly Rates.
Las Campanas, meaning “The Bells” in Spanish, is a charming outdoor patio next to Tope Hall, designed for gathering and celebrating special moments. True to its name, the space features a large bell in the tower and smaller bells on each post, inviting everyone to join in the joyful ringing. Reminiscent of Texas biergartens, it boasts rough-hewn cedar posts and crossbeams, strings of twinkling lights, and is surrounded by majestic live oak trees. With a built-in stage, it’s the perfect setting for unforgettable celebrations.
Martin’s Mountain View
In a tradition hundreds of years old, treat your honored guests to a picturesque outdoor wedding with a stunning view of Martin’s Mountain. At 1,795 ft. in elevation, it is the 3rd largest peak in Blanco county. It is presumably named after one of the original names of the Blanco River, “Martin’s Fork or Branch”. The river was named “Blanco” meaning white in Spanish in the 1700’s, when some Spanish explorer named it after the white river’s white bedrock. Before that it was commonly know as the north fork of Martins branch. So we assume this mountain was named after the same Martin the river was originally named after. Time permitting, it’s a short drive or hike up from the other venues and it’s worth it for the spectaular views.
Cielo Vista & The Library
These two spaces were originally the Dowdy family’s first home they built and lived in while building the Ranch House. The couple had 5 sons and they used an outhouse. The Hawkins family and friends liked to lay up there and look at the stars so we named it Cielo Vista, meaning “sky view” in Spanish. And the lower part was formerly storage that Will Hawkins had the vision to turn into a speakeasy, thus “The Library.” Cheers to reading! Cielo Vista and The Library are currently available by special arrangement, only.
