If the word “nest” causes you to envision a warm, welcoming environment built with meticulous attention to detail and in harmony with nature, then you have a good idea of what awaits you at The Nest South Texas Luxury Retreat. Located about one hour south of San Antonio in George West, Texas, The Nest is home to a uniquely designed 7000+ square foot event space situated on a sprawling farm with breathtaking views from every angle. Completed in 2023, The Nest is for the discerning bride who values privacy, quality, and exclusivity.

When a bride rents The Nest, she rents more than a venue. She rents an experience. The entire resort, from the lodge to the 100 acres of property, is a blank canvas just waiting to be turned into a wedding masterpiece. The main building houses six guest rooms, each a study in simple elegance. Beds outfitted in Pendleton bedding, teak wood furniture, and large, walk-in showers with multiple spray heads are just a few of the luxuries that await each guest. A seventh room and bath are available for the bridal party to use as a dressing room on the big day.

The Nest design allows for creativity in the configuration of everything from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, or next-day brunch. For small weddings, the bride can say her vows underneath a charming pavilion before retreating to the indoor dining room that seats 12-14 for dinner. The adjacent courtyard can hold additional tables and seating for larger parties, and the vast, upper-level deck and sky bar offers guests a romantic place to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres or dance the night away under a blanket of Texas stars. It’s the ideal situation for a bride who values a “less is more” approach.

“We are designed for intimate gatherings, and we will only host one or two weddings per month,” says owner Robert Ord. “We are really better suited to a 50–100-person wedding.”

Ord originally created the state-of-the-art venue as a corporate retreat space for his global security company, Falken Industries. However, its unusual design and remote location soon caught the eye of Texas brides who wanted a wedding that defied the traditional cookie-cutter events. Combining the charm of a Southwestern-style lodge with advanced modern technology, every aspect of the The Nest’s award-winning design, from the architecture to the materials, was carefully chosen for its energy efficiency. Solar panels, open-air spaces, and a custom treatment plant on site for filtering some of the purest water in the state have made The Nest one of the country’s premier eco-friendly retreat destinations. “We’ve never paid an electric bill,” Ord said proudly.

Speaking of bills, The Nest carries a $10,000 price tag for an exclusive two-night stay and use of the property and all its amenities. That includes the cleaning service and custom-delivered meals. Privacy is a priority here, and guests can stock the kitchen and prepare their own food or use the grill or pizza oven for outdoor entertaining. Guests looking for a little R and R can relax by the soon-to-be-completed 65-foot beach-entry-style pool or schedule massage and spa treatments. With so many ways to make it your own, The Nest is the ideal wedding retreat, perfect for the bride who understands quality, appreciates luxury, and wants something she won’t find anywhere else.
