While we didn’t have our wedding here we stayed at the hotel to get ready and for an evening getaway for my now husband after our wedding just down the road. The hotel was so nice and accommodating with our questions. As an out of town bride from Dallas this hotel was so amazing. We loved the room and the vibe of the area. Would recommend to other guests.

We had our wedding here late March and the hotel legitimately ruined it. When booking we were promised so many things and always assured we were going to be taken care of. However, the person we booked with left the hotel a few months later. The new person was at all times condescending to me through email and the one time we met in person so I asked to please deal with a different person just two weeks before my wedding because at this point I had no idea what was happening as this person was out of the office for the week and I was getting no responses to my emails. I was given the managers number and given a new event coordinator and I was assured everything would be taken care of.
The day of the wedding my hotel reservation wasn’t found even though I called the hotel hours before to make sure that reservation was set up. So my wedding was delayed about 20 minutes because they couldn’t find which room was supposed to be ours. We were finally given the suite which we were supposed to stay in for the night however when I went up there the room wasn’t very clean and the sink literally exploded when I tried to wash my hands so we decided to drive back home and come back in the morning to pick up our stuff since we were given late check out which was at 1pm. At 12 we got a call saying they removed our stuff from the room because they needed to clean it. When we told them we had the room until 1pm they said that they didn’t know that. They threw my $1800 wedding dress in a bag with shoes belts and food. This ruined my dress.
During the actual wedding ceremony which took place outside, my dj had to run to multiple people because no one knew how to turn off the music they had at the pool. So I got married while they played 80’s music on top of my ceremony music. Once in the ballroom I was the first person to be served dinner and I immediately told the server this isn’t the right food. We ordered chicken and got brisket instead. The server just shrugged and said I’m sorry. My food was cold so I can’t even imagine how cold my guests’ food was since the last person got served 35 minutes after me. I only saw 3 servers in circulation when I had to pay for 5. We had less people than expected, so it’s possible that they thought 5 servers wouldn’t be needed for the amount of people that showed up but obviously that wasn’t the case because I got the bread to accompany my food about 15 minutes after I was served my plate and I never was given a water or tea refill. One of my guests got a huge glass in their water. They simply removed it and took about 10 minutes to bring him a new water. I also paid for 3 vendor meals and at the end of the night I found out my dj was never offered any food.
When I went to get a drink at the bar the bartender looked like she would rather be anywhere else but there! But I didn’t think much of it until after my tab ran out and no one had told me about it. She just said you’re over your tab do you want me to keep serving? I told her to turn to a cash bar and I got a glass of wine which she charged me $12 for. We only had house wine, domestic beer, and cheap liquor so idk where the $12 drinks were coming from as when I spoke to the event coordinator the drinks were supposed to be $6 max. I asked multiple guest who were all also charged $12 regardless of drink. I don’t know if there was a miscommunication issue or if money was literally being stolen.
Any questions?

I attempted to contact this hotel to host my wedding. My fiancé is a Retired Marine and will have guests coming from out of state. It would be easier to have a venue with rooms.
It was days between responses. I asked for a quote to see if the venue would be in my budget (based on photos and reviews- I felt it would be).
Her response to my request for a quote was "Well, what is your budget?"
I found this a bit rude but I still responded and told her we were hoping to stay under $10K for venue/catering. Apparently, this wasn't good enough for them because I've never heard back from anyone.
It's disappointing but if this is how they do business, I'll gladly take mine elsewhere!
UPDATE - I just received a booking proposal from this venue. No apology, no reason for the almost 4 month delay. Just “Here’s your proposal”. Wow! Thanks but NO THANKS!

Amazing venue!! Planning a wedding in 2020 is stressful enough and I couldn’t have been more thankful to have great support with Hillside Boutique. Raquel was great at communicating and keeping me calm lol I loved that Hillside was able to provide everything we needed so I didn’t have to juggle with a bunch of different vendors. I definitely recommend!

We can't say enough about Guillermo Spinelli and his amazing team. Guillermo walked us through everything from day one and all of the vendors he recommended were exceptional. The venue was beautiful and recently went through a renovation. The food was incredibly delicious and plentiful. This site met all of our needs and wants..a beautiful outdoor setting for our ceremony and ample space for our hundred plus guests. We are forever grateful for how perfect our day turned out!

Absolutely outstanding!! Guillermo is truly a blessing and I'm so glad we ended up there. He responded so quickly to any questions I had through email (it was easiest for me to communicate through email as I was on night shift as a nurse) and was quick to appease whatever I would like and managed my millions of questions with humor! He ensured my rehearsal dinner, wedding, and brunch the following Sunday went completely smoothly! He also ensured that he met with my now husband and I at our best convenience for things like touring and food tasting. He also managed to save the day on my wedding by catching a centerpiece that caught on fire and using an arrangement from a table on the outside to make everything look seamless and perfect regardless of a missing centerpiece! I would recommend him to absolutely anyone, you can completely tell he loves his job!

This place has the absolute best view! Our ceremony was beautiful and even had a nice breeze which was great for a June wedding in Texas. Guillermo is the absolute best and answered all of my questions and even asked me questions I hadn't thought of. The food is to die for and all my guests commented on it!

If you are looking for a hill country wedding, The Alsatian is the way to go. It is not too far from San Antonio and it has amazing views! The pictures of the ceremony are amazing with the backdrop of the hill country. We also loved Guillermo. He had no hidden fees and let us know what we were getting up front. I would highly recommend this place.

The Alsatian is the perfect wedding venue. Guillermo is so easy to work with. We really didn't know what to do or what to expect but he gave us great advice and worked with us to make our day perfect. The outdoor ceremony was lovely...the view was fantastic! The reception was held in the ballroom and it was so beautiful. Guillermo also handled the catering and the food was really great. He really went out of his way to make us happy! We were given a room for the night and it was awesome. Many of our guests were from out of town and they were given a special rate at the hotel. The entire experience was just perfect. I very highly recommend the Alsatian.

The space in both the Wedding and hall were big enough for both of our large families to dance the night away and having everything so close was ideal. I could not be more pleased with our wedding day and all the beautiful memories!

My husband and I got married here on March 9, 2013. The foggy weather cleared up right before the outside hill-top ceremony and it turned out fantastic. Guillermo was so great and very accommodating for all of our needs. He went out of his way to make sure we got anything we needed. For a reception of about 250, it was a tight fit, but having the outside and inside areas helped tremendously. This is a gorgeous venue and the food is so tasty! If you are looking for a hill country wedding, this is a place to consider! The background of our ceremony photos is gorgeous and the decor inside is rich. I also suggest getting the Bridal Suite. It can fit many people to get ready in and is very modern and cozy!

Hotel Alsace is the best hotel I have ever stayed at! I'm so happy that we chose this to be our hotel in which our guests would stay. Jenny the receptionist made you feel at home and made sure that everything was taken care of. The view of the city is amazing! The rooms are so spacious and extremely clean. Our guest did nothing, but rave about the accommodations! I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a peaceful, stress-free, and beautiful hotel!!!

The outside wedding was simply beautiful. We had an evening ceremony so didn't have to worry about the lighting. The only downside was the manager in charge. He was all over the place and didn't remember half of the things we had told him.

My husband and I dreamed of having a sit-down, Italian-style dining experience for our reception where the meal would be both the highlight and the entertainment for the evening, not a band or dance or anything typical. Most of our guests would be coming in from all over the country and many did not know each other, so we wanted a long, leisurely dinner where they would be able to visit, mingle in-between courses and really get to know each other. We were initially concerned that we wouldn't be able to find a caterer that could provide this type of service in the rural area of Texas where we lived, but once we met with Guillermo, we felt confident he could give us what we wanted. We initially met with him to offer a few ideas and sample menus for what we were looking for and once we settled on something that fit our budget and aesthetic, he invited us in for a sample run through of what he would be serving to our 100+ guests....and WOW, did he nail it! More importantly, we felt that he had really listened to what we wanted and understood just how special of a role the meal would play. When "game day" rolled around, Guillermo and his staff gave an outstanding performance (especially when there was a major threat of rain; we saw them quickly prepare for plan B, but fortunately never had to act on it). Our beautiful menu consisted of: (pre-ceremony) a cheese and fruit display while waiters passed several small-hors d'oeuvres and Prosecco; (post-ceremony, dinner) rustic loaves of peasant bread sat on all tables throughout entire meal; gazpacho; mixed field greens with mandarin oranges, toasted pine nuts and chives tossed in a citrus vinaigrette; lobster ravioli in a light tomato vodka sauce; pork tenderloin served with creamy parmesan polenta and roasted asparagus spears; fresh peach gelato; followed by our "wedding cake" -- French vanilla torte laced with limoncello and creme anglaise (provided by another vendor). Thank you, Guillermo, for not only are we still talking about the evening, but so are our guests!

Hotel Alsace is a wonderful hotel that all of our out of town guests stayed at. Our guests loved the apartment styled suite, as well as the normal rooms. They were modern, clean, and came with a great view overlooking the hillcoutry. Management was professional and easy to work with, we even had a discounted rate for our wedding.

We used Guermo from the Alsatian Restaurant as the catering for our wedding. He was always easy to get ahold of and the food was fantastic! He is not afraid to voice his opinion but was more than willing to cater to my taste and provided some great tips for the hall we were using as he had catered there before.

The Alsatian was the most special place to have a wedding! The setting was elegant and the view of the valley made it even more beautiful. The planning was made extremely easy and stress free because of the professionalism of the staff. The food served was not only beautiful to look at, but was delicious! All of my special wishes were fulfilled and it was an occasion to remember!
