444 Tubing Company to add wedding venue

The venue will feature a bar and a large entry space along with a groom's suite and bridal suite, which will have hair and makeup stations along with a vanity.

The timeline

Rader said they will work steadily to have some of the venue spaces ready by spring break.

"I'm excited for being in downtown New Braunfels," Rader said.

What else?

Rader noted they were trying to repurpose as many materials as possible and source locally.

"We're trying to reuse as much longleaf pine as we possibly can [because] it's hard to find big trees that this wood came from. And us, being the Canopy on the Comal, we want to try to make everything look as wooden and treelike as possible," he said.
