Anyone who is need of a venue for a wedding or special event needs to go and visit Haak. You will fall in love with the scenery & staff just as we did!!
Kim, the chef at Haak Vineyards & Winery is the best! There are several options to fit any budget. She will help guide you at selecting the perfect meal to match your perfect day.

They provided everything we needed for our reception. The patio was the perfect place for the amount of guests and the food, beverages, cake were absolutely delicious. Once we signed our contract on what we would be responsible it was so comforting to know that when we arrived at the designated time everything was executed by their capable staff and all we had to do was pick up our decorations and gifts. This was easier than we anticipated since we are in our 70's we were nervous about attempting the planning, etc. After meeting with the event manager everything just fell into place. We had a beautiful as well as fun reception. T he best part was that it stayed within our budget.

Kathleen and Kim were a joy to work with. They really went above and beyond to make the day perfect and it was! The only thing that I had any issue with was the cakes they were absolutely beautiful but extremely dry. I loved how everyone at the winery made me feel like i was the only bride on their schedule I felt so special.

This was the best wedding experience I could have asked for. The staff has been wonderful about everything. Besides the winery setting such a beautiful backdrop, the catering, coordinating, and friendly staff made this easy and fun. The food was amazing, as I heard this from many people. The cake was beautiful and they worked with my design and topper. I highly recommend Haak Vineyards and Winery for a wedding venue!

Haak was an absolutely gorgeous setting for an outdoor wedding. Kathleen was always prompt with answers to any questions we had and very flexible in making sure everything needed was available for us to have the small, intimate wedding we wanted. Kim provided outstanding food and sangria and of course the wine was fantastic! Overall, I think Haak is a great venue. You definitely get your money's worth!

Haak Winery was a wonderful place to have a wedding. It was beautiful without extensive decoration and really looked amazing in the spring. The food was amazing, service was unbelievable good and we had plenty of room to be able to enjoy the day. I would highly recommend the Haak winery as a great place to have your wedding

We had our wedding last night, June 12, 2010. We had the most amazing night of our lives. Kathleen and David were awesome, along with the rest of the Haak Staff. The food was outstanding and the cake wowed the crowd. We would recommend this venue to everyone!!!

Kathleen (winery facility) and David (catering / cakes) were both amazing in helping us plan our event. They were also very prompt in answering all our questions. The venue is gorgeous at any time of year. If you are looking for an awesome spot for having a wonderful outdoor wedding, Haak winery cannot be beat!

Haak Winery was great!! I had to completley re-set my wedding due to Hurricane Ike and when I called Kathy and David at Haak, they were ready to answer any questions I had. Kathy helped me with the settings and David went over the menus. The food was unbelieveable. I am still getting rave reviews on the menu we chose. The setting was beautiful and with the decorations it was very elegant. They went out of their way to make my wedding rememberable. I will always be greatfull!! Thank you David, Kathy and The Haak Winery.

Our wedding was in October on one of those beautiful, cool days. The surrounding vinyard was a perfect backdrop. The chef worked with us to give the guests wine and appetizers on arrival, like a cocktail party before the wedding, and then a buffet dinner after the ceremony. People mention that it was one of the more lovely and unique weddings they have attended. My pictures are beautiful, and I feel like I picked the perfect wedding venue for us.

We were a very small wedding party (only 46 people total and 39 ending up present), so this venue being kind of intimate worked great for us. In the spring the location is stunningly beautiful, everything is so green and the vines create a certain atmosphere that was exactly right for us. We did have to drive 1.5 hour one way to get there as the winery is not exactly close to Houston, but it was so worth it.
Both the event manager and the chef were very easy to work with, esp given our crazy (working + school at the same time) schedules. Kathleen, the event manager, allowed us to bring our Dachshund on the premises as we wanted him to be our ring bearer, and Kim, the chef, took care of pairing the wines with the food. The selections out of her catering menu are more then decent and reasonably priced, and she can adjust it for any dietary requirements.
I am not giving this location full 5 out of 5 only because they have a very strict policy of not allowing any food and drink from the outside. We were fine with using Haak's catering and wines but they also insisted on providing the cake while I had my own, and much cheaper, cake lady. At the end this all worked out, as my friend let me use her cake design as a wedding gift, and Haak's baker re-created it just fine, plus Kim the chef built the cake very cleverly, making it big enough to look beautiful but inserting a fake second tier in the middle to keep the costs low (as we didn't need a cake that big for 46 people).
But overall the location is great, the staff were very attentive to our needs and we feel that we made a great choice having our wedding at Haak's.

All my guests were very impressed with the venue. It is beautiful, the food and drinks were very good, and the staff was friendly. Kathleen took extra time to assist me with the decorations beacause I was coming from out of town and did a wonderful job. The cost is a little more than you expect if you are inviting more than 150 guests due to extrea fees, but that is probably my only complaint. I would definitly recommend Haak!

The winery was a great place to have a big wedding. The staff was extremely accomodating and helpful. They will work with you to make it the wedding that you always dreamed of.

The site is gorgeous. It's a family owned business, I found that the staff were very friendly and helpful. The day of the event, I had forgotten the book for the guests to sign and they made one on the spot for me. Kim, the chef was easy to work with. She and my fiancee' hit it off talking about inventing sauces, so she came up with a special sauce for the meat for us. They aren't large so if it's the staff's day off you may have to wait a couple of days to get questions answered. The chef and cooking staff were very professional and on top of their game.

we were very pleased with the response to all of our concerns and questions during the planning stages. However, the plated dinner service was slower than we would have liked. The wine, food and venue setup were all fantastic!

The Haak Vineyards & Winery did not host my ceremony, but they did host the reception afterward.
The day couldn't have been any more beautiful! After the mass, everyone began to arrive at the winery around 4:30 pm, and the hosts were ready for us. We had over 210 guests in attendance. From the beginning to the end, guests couldn't say enough great things about the Haak. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers (fruits & cheeses), the dinner, and especially, the great tasting wine that my husband and I selected for the event! Guests roamed the vineyards and snapped pictures as the sun went down - B-E-A-U-TIFUL!. We then danced the night away until 10 pm.
The next day, family and friends stated that our wedding was gorgeous - from the beginning of the mass to the end of the reception at the Haak. We were definitely happy and wouldn't have changed a thing.
I do recommend having a person or two (such as a wedding planner or a GREAT friend, like we did) to make sure everything is running smoothly. Although the Haak is the host, they are very busy serving food and wine. I really recommmend that David and Kathleen allow their staff to do all that and tend more to the needs of the wedding party - just in case the party does not have a planner or friend to assist. We also have not received a breakdown of how all of our money was spent. We told the Haak the amount of people that would be in attendance and how much wine we would need. The chef gave us an amount to pay and stated he would give us a breakdown of everything. We paid, but we have yet to see how the money was distributed.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Haak Vineyards and Winery to anyone who would like to host a special event.
