Nestled among pecan and oak trees on a breathtaking yet tranquil estate, Briscoe Manor offers the serenity of natural beauty and the scene of classic romance. Owners, Tan and Mack McDonald, fell in love with Briscoe Manor the second they laid eyes on it and knew instantly that they wanted to be a part of its incredible history. They’re committed to providing a positive experience that will foster a lifelong connection between Briscoe couples, hosts and all guests.
At Briscoe Manor, we believe every celebration should reflect the timeless beauty and heartfelt meaning of the love it honors. Set on a property with nearly two centuries of rich Texas heritage, Briscoe Manor provides a truly unique and unforgettable setting for weddings and special events. Originally spanning 4,605 acres—from the Brazos River to the prairies south of Katy—the land has deep ranching roots and a legacy tied to the iconic Texas longhorns, some of which still roam the grounds today.
Though Briscoe Manor has evolved into a premier venue for modern celebrations, owner Mack McDonald remains devoted to preserving its storied past and honoring the spirit of the land. What distinguishes Briscoe Manor is not only our breathtaking setting but also our unwavering commitment to hospitality and culinary excellence. Drawing from a legacy of award-winning restaurants in the region, we bring a refined level of expertise, flavor, and creativity to every event.
From thoughtfully designed menus to seamless service, we infuse each celebration with warmth, care, and unforgettable cuisine. At its heart, Briscoe Manor is about crafting meaningful moments—rooted in tradition, surrounded by natural beauty, and delivered with genuine hospitality.
Let us help you create a celebration that’s not only memorable but truly extraordinary.
