Instead, it feels lived-in and loved; the kind of place where design choices matter, where details carry stories, and where a ceremony unfolds with the same comfort and intimacy as gathering in a family home. This blend of history, creativity and ease has made Sophie’s Gasthaus one of New Braunfels’ most distinctive wedding destinations.
