In a stunning comeback that marries Southern charm with European opulence, the beloved Waverly Manor has officially reemerged as the New Waverly Manor—a premier luxury destination poised to elevate weddings, galas, and private events across Southeast Texas. Nestled on 53 serene acres just an hour north of Houston, the estate is unveiling its grand reopening this month following a dramatic and thoughtful transformation that promises to enchant every guest.

Founded over 15 years ago, Waverly Manor has long been a treasured venue for unforgettable moments. Today, under the visionary leadership of CEO LeAnn Cyr, the estate has undergone a sweeping renovation that blends classic romance with cutting-edge amenities to create a venue unlike any other in the region.

Grand Upgrades with European Flair

Guests arriving at New Waverly Manor are greeted by a majestic new entrance featuring towering columns and a scenic driveway lined with 66 newly planted Cypress trees—an homage to the estates of Tuscany. A custom electronic gate provides both elegance and privacy, setting the tone for the beauty and sophistication within.

Inside, every corner has been meticulously reimagined. The 6,000-square-foot estate now dazzles with refurbished flooring, freshly painted interiors, and dazzling crystal chandeliers that bathe the living and ballroom areas in a warm, romantic glow. The aesthetic reflects Cyr’s inspirations drawn from her travels to France and Italy—think Versailles grandeur meets Texas hospitality.

Luxury Meets Functionality

The renovations go beyond aesthetics, introducing a host of functional upgrades that redefine event hosting in Texas:

A brand-new groom’s suite outfitted with a pool table, poker table, and a sleek mini bar.

A cozy children’s room, designed to ensure all families feel welcome.

A redesigned six-bedroom residence that sleeps up to 19 guests, complete with lavish furnishings and a serene French country aesthetic.

A lakeside gazebo—now featuring its own chandelier—perfect for sunset ceremonies or intimate moments.

A state-of-the-art commercial kitchen ideal for top-tier catering professionals.

A stylish outdoor bar and updated patio furnishings for elevated al fresco experiences.

“Our inspiration was drawn from the grandeur I witnessed in European estates—especially Versailles and the home of Marie Antoinette,” shared Cyr. “I wanted to bring that level of beauty and grace to Texas in a way that feels both luxurious and welcoming.”
