At The Shire outdoor Wedding & Event venue

Home for the Wanderlusts

Hidden in the beautiful Piney Woods of East Texas, we are located on the edge of the untouched Sam Houston National Forest, where we have carved out an amazing space to give your wedding an authentically magical setting.

We have three huge connected Nordic Tipis with an elevated hardwood dancefloor, hand built poplar banquet tables, an indoor stage, and staging areas for both buffet, sit down catering, and bar service.

On our outdoor ceremonial stage we have erected a naked tipi covered in fairy lights with aisle seating consisting of long cedar benches for an authentic woodsy wedding experience.

Let us amaze you. Contact us today to book your special event. We will enchant you At The Shire.
