There’s something magical about turning dreams into reality—and I’m beyond excited to share one of the most enchanting chapters in my journey yet. Jamie Goode Studios is expanding in a beautiful way, and it all starts with a powerful new partnership and a breathtaking new venue: Moonlight Manor. I’m proud to introduce you to my friend and business partner, Kristi McDonald—an incredible woman with a deep love for celebrations, people, and timeless moments.

Kristi is no stranger to the wedding and event world. She’s the owner of the wildly successful iDO Bridal Expo, held twice a year right here in East Texas, drawing in hundreds of brides and vendors from all across the region. Her ability to curate meaningful experiences, connect with people, and bring visions to life makes her an absolute powerhouse. At Moonlight Manor, Kristi serves as Coordinating Director, managing all logistics, planning, and vendor coordination. I step in as the Creative Director, leading all things visual—photography, styling, and storytelling through design. Together, we’re a dream team with one goal: to give you a wedding or event that feels like it was written just for you.

Moonlight Manor is more than just a venue—it’s a tucked-away fairytale come to life. Set deep in the woods of East Texas, it’s surrounded by towering trees, soft lighting, and natural magic that gives every celebration a sense of intimacy and charm. The manor is designed for micro weddings, elopements, vow renewals, private parties, and small corporate events. With a current capacity of 35 (soon expanding to 50), it’s a haven for couples and hosts who crave connection, peace, and beauty without the stress of a huge crowd or overblown production.

Our venue packages are flexible and thoughtfully priced to suit every need—from weekday escapes to full-week fairytale getaways. You can book the space alone or take advantage of add-ons like overnight stays, access to our romantic honeymoon suite, rehearsal time, and more. We also offer a curated list of trusted, professional vendors who align with our high standards. But what truly sets us apart is the experience we create—from the moment you tour the property to the final dance under the stars.

For those who want extra guidance, Kristi and I offer full-service planning and coordination for just $500, complete with curated décor packages ranging from simple to storybook-level extravagant. We’re here to make your vision come to life—whether that means soft vintage romance, enchanted forest, or modern boho elegance. And of course, Jamie Goode Studios is the exclusive in-house photography partner, capturing your moments with heart, artistry, and soul.

Moonlight Manor is a passion project, a peaceful escape, and a place to celebrate life’s most cherished milestones. If you’re dreaming of a wedding or event that feels deeply personal, uniquely beautiful, and completely stress-free, we invite you to experience the magic of Moonlight Manor. Come be part of our story—we’d be honored to be part of yours.
