{Venue Spotlight} Hollow Hill Event Center

On March 28th, we had the pleasure of participating in the open house at Hollow Hills Farm and Event Center. Going to a new venue, you never know what to expect and we were amazed at the details the Getcher family thought of!

 

Hollow Hill Farm was established by David and Jean Gechter in April 1983.

 

 

 

 It was originally a part of the Tucker Family dairy farm. Hollow Hill is still a working farm – growing and baling coastal hay at this time. The land has been lovingly tended by the Gechter's over the years, and in recent years they wanted to share their beautiful farm with the world.

 

The decision to open the farm up as an event center was born, and the progress started almost immediately. David has always had a love of building things, and has created many different "vignette" style areas at the Farm including the Great Hall, Old Town, The Hen House (Bridal Suite), The Bunk House (Grooms Suite), Pavilion, Barn and Pecan Grove Ceremony area complete with an old wood cross.

 

 

 It is a place of love, and they share that with everyone who comes out, as you know. Right now the farm is a bustle with a variety of wildflowers, including Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blanket, Black-eyed Susans, and Mexican Hat. Its just a lovely place to visit, and hold an event.

 

 

 

 

We just loved the Pecan Orchard lit up at night!

Gown: Mimi by Watters

Tips for transporting a gown to a destination wedding:

1) Carry the dress in the fabric hanging bag provided by your bridal salon. Keeping the dress seperate from other items will prevent possible snags or damage.

2) Never check your gown! Carry your dress on as a piece of luggage and ask to hang it in a coat closet or fold it in fourths and place it in an overhead bin with one side against the wall and another piece of luggage protecting the other side.

3) If you must ship it, make sure to send it to a commercial address and set it to arrive before you. If you are getting married on or near a holiday, allow extra shipping time and always insure the gown for the full amount!

4) If there is beadwork or flowers, wrap the areas in tissue paper prior to transport.

5) Upon arrival, have your wedding planner or family member refer you to someone competent to steam or press your gown. Hotels that host destination weddings should have someone on site to handle this request.


No matter the destination, transporting your gown can seem daunting but with the simple tips above, it will be as easy as your walk down the aisle.
