Ihave heard phrases like “southern charm” or “southern hospitality” used by others—mainly people from out-of-state—to describe the culture of Texas all my life. Specifically, outsiders often describe the atmosphere of small towns as “quaint,” “friendly,” or “peaceful.” I would have to agree, and I am sure most of you would, too. But have you ever stopped to think about what makes us feel this way? Is it the town itself, the people, the commerce? I believe it’s a little bit of it all.
I just moved back to Texas after studying for four years in California, and the thing I missed most while I was gone was the culture. I missed the family-owned restaurants and cafes, the smiles from strangers, and the ever-present sound of cowboy boots. I missed not getting odd looks when I said “Yes, ma’am” and “Yes, sir,” and I missed the historic architecture and the vast acres of open land. It is the little things like this that sometimes we forget to appreciate because we become used to it, but these same things make that “southern charm” so appealing to others.
My article in this issue, “Yellow Bells and Wedding Bells,” highlights two wedding venues in the Texas Hill Country that prioritize the charm and hospitality I am speaking about. Both venue owners treat their guests like family, creating a different experience than some well-known wedding venues. I invite you to read my article highlighting the genuineness and attention to detail that makes the Ingenhuett on High and Park 31 venues unique. I hope it gives you a glimpse into what makes these small Texas towns’ “southern charm” so special.

The Texas yellow bell flowers won’t be the only thing ringing this summer! In late spring and early summer, wedding bells will be ringing all over the Hill Country. According to the WeddingSpot.com, the spring months of March through May are incredibly popular for weddings in the Hill Country, due to the mild temperatures, blue skies, and blooming wildflowers.
The Texas Hill Country has countless venues to choose from, all catering to a range of interests and budgets, but two in particular stand out during the spring season due to their historical significance, charm, and overall experience. Whether these soon-to-be newlyweds call Texas home, or have chosen the Lone Star State for their destination wedding, there’s something about
these venues–Ingenhuett on High and Park 31–that people can’t resist.
The allure of tying the knot becomes an unforgettable experience with the combination of small-town charm and the hands-on dedication of venue owners like Jeanine Leeder and Mary Perlitz. Both of whom aim to create a wedding experience that lasts beyond the event itself. Park 31

Ingenhuett on High:
WHERE HISTORY MEETS HEARTFELT VOWS
Nestled on High Street in Comfort, TX, the Ingenhuett is a distinct event venue for weddings, parties, meetings, corporate or private events, dances, and more.
Ingenhuett on High has been a vital part of Comfort since its construction in 1867. It has since served as a general store, bank, John Deere dealership, and post office. Unfortunately, in 2006, the building experienced a tragic fire. Since then, the current owners have restored the building while preserving as much of the original structure as possible.
Traces of the past, such as the original bank vault, can still be found in the venue!
According to Jeanine Leeder, coowner of Ingenhuett on High, the venue’s seamless fusion of past and present truly sets it apart.
“The intent of the restoration was to show the history of the building, not to cover it up,” Jeanine said. “So it’s not typical, and it’s not like all these new venues with new construction.”
Leeder said, and her reviews can attest, that the intersection of
contemporary and historic design creates an environment perfect for an intimate wedding with minimal decor needed.
Beyond the Ingenhuett’s storied walls, the town of Comfort itself creates an easy-going wedding experience, Leeder said, with everything a wedding guest could need within walking distance.
“There’s shopping down the street, and there’s food,” Leeder said. You don’t have to create an itinerary
because your guests can just walk out of their hotel and take care of themselves, which makes it fun.”
Unlike larger venues with multiple employees, Leeder is very involved in the process of every wedding, allowing her to create a personal bond with each couple.
During this stressful time, Leeder said her favorite part “is probably making people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Ingenhuett on High
Park 31:
WHERE LOVE FINDS ITS SACRED SANCTUARY
While the Ingenhuett on High is catered to smaller, more intimate weddings, Park 31–located about 30 miles southeast–offers a similar aesthetic on a much larger scale.
Mary Perlitz bought the 31-acre property outside of Bergheim in 2010 and constructed the venue in 2017. Perlitz had always wanted to own a venue. She spent six years
planning and designing to achieve her dream.
Like Ingenhuett, Park 31 incorporates some of the property’s historical architecture, including stone from old German walls, which created the German-inspired church.
“The building is honoring what had gone on here in the past,” Perlitz said. “So I wanted to bring that in, recognize the history, and create new memories with new families and people.”
Beyond the vows exchanged and rings adorned, Park 31 values the community that it attracts. Perlitz said one of her favorite traditions are the “heart rocks” located around the property–rocks upon which the married couples write their names and anniversary date so that their stories are forever a part of Park 31.
“The big thing about our venue is that everybody that gets married here is now a part of our family,” Perlitz said.

Park 31
To further build the community and spread the love of those newly married, Perlitz said she hosts “family reunions,” where any couples who have ever been married at Park 31 can create a community with others who are in the same season of life.
“We really wanted for them to not just come and get married and then leave,” Perlitz said. “We want to still have a relationship with them even after the wedding.”
As the summer sun bathes the Texas landscape, these venues stand as witnesses to timeless love and the spirit of community.
Beyond the celebration of union, Ingenhuett on High and Park 31 embody the essence of what it means to create lasting memories and forge bonds that withstand the test of time.

The Cinco K River Ranch is approximately 25.8 acres and located in a highly desirable location on the north side of the Llano River. The ranch address is 8861 Lower Willow Creek Road, and includes frontage on both sides of the road.

There is a small garage for storage and bath house, along with a RV hookup site. This ranch is bordered by a large ranch to the west and also has a restriction in place, not allowing it to be divided any smaller than the current 25 acres, allowing for plenty of deer and other native species to remain in the area.

The Big Mountain Ranch is a 2,465±-acre property surrounding the northeast side of Uvalde, TX; adjoining the city limits with frontage on Hwy 90, FM 2369, and Hwy 83. It also offers over four miles of rail frontage. The ranch is currently being operated as an income-producing irrigated farm and hunting operation, with an ASR forbearance program as well. A cell phone tower—accessed by a easement—located at the top of Big Mountain also generates income. This ranch allows several different opportunities and options for the prospective buyer. It offers great potential for material sales, conservation easements, solar power, residential and commercial development, and water sales. There are four permitted Edwards Aquifer irrigation wells on the ranch along with a few other domestic wells; gpm ranging from 790 to 1,500. These allow for an annual groundwater withdrawal amount of 1,691 acre-feet; 795 acrefeet of which are unrestricted and 895 are base irrigation groundwater. This water is currently pumped to six pivots irrigating approximately 650 acres. There is another pivot on the ranch that is currently not being used. The Leona River and Taylor Slough run through the ranch, holding pockets of water during normal rainfall along with a handful of tanks. The remainder of the ranch is dry cropland, native pasture, and brush. Four of the pivots belong to the ranch and the other three would need to be negotiated with the sale. The ranch is partially high fenced around the perimeter and also has some interior high fencing. Big Mountain itself is totally high fenced, consisting of approximately 600 acres which would make for a nice exotic pasture. The wildlife on the ranch is all native to the area including deer, turkey, quail, aoudad, and hogs. There are no minerals to convey with the sale and no current mineral leases. The only current structural improvements on the ranch are a few equipment sheds.

There is approximately 1,260 feet Guadalupe River Frontage and there is also drainage through the property that has been damned up to create a small tank which holds water in wet weather. The water features do create floodplain on a portion of the property. The ranch will be sold with the majority of the large items conveying so that the new owner can step in and host events immediately if desired. Some of the items conveying are most of the necessary furniture in the hall and lodge and all of the major commercial cooking equipment and utensils. This ranch has been operated as an event venue and overnight vacation rental, hosting weddings and other family associated events for the past several years. Before that, it served as a girl scout camp and is still set up today with many of the original improvements, along with many new additions that the current owners have added. This ranch would make a fantastic winery, distillery, or Airbnb given its location and river frontage.
