“ Love is the force that gives way to hope.  If we have love we can have hope for the future.”
-Sallie Reid
It is our goal to create a place that people can come and feel loved. 

Bluebird Haven is a secret paradise tucked away in
​the heart of Texas...

This matchless venue hosts manicured grounds surrounded by creeks, massive oak trees and 30 lush acres. The property supports vast wildlife including the venue’s namesake, the bluebird. This natural setting exudes a country atmosphere and yet we are centrally located. We are  only 60 minutes to  The Woodlands, 2 hours from Dallas, 40 min. to Bryan and College Station, and 30 minutes to Huntsville just off I-45. Bluebird Haven offers different settings ranging from rustic scenes to country elegance with a diverse array of photo opportunities. It feels as if you enter a secret paradise tucked away in the heart of Texas.
​The town square is only minutes away. The heartbeat of Bluebird Haven is to be a place of peace where dreams can come true. As a native born Texan I was raised with a southern hospitality. All three of my children have similar values. I am the proud mother of one daughter from University of Texas and two sons that are Texas A&M graduates. 

The main house has lodging for 18 guest featuring my personal Art Gallery  providing you and your guests an interest to explore.

Sallie Reid   
​Owner

My greatest aspiration is to live my journey well. Family has always been ever present in my mind as I hope to leave a legacy of love behind for my children and grandchildren. Art has always been a creative expression of what I am passionate about. The sound of laughter is the color of joy to my mind. I dream  to create the atmosphere of heaven here on earth for all people to come and explore the goodness of God. After 25 years of raising my family I finally finished my formal education from Sam Houston Sate University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. 
 
I bring the art world to the wedding experience offering a unique caveat.  I create a painting of the love story and write a blessing for your marriage.   I can also do a live painting of your wedding at the reception if you like.

I love to paint the emotive feeling I intuitively feel after visiting with the wedding couple. I write the love story blessing that goes along with the painting.  It is my unique gift for the couple that marries at Bluebird Haven to be presented at the wedding reception as an exciting reveal moment or to be given in private, it is your choice. Your painting and your love story blessing are as special as you are.
