Bakers Ranch - Florida's Premier Top Rated All Inclusive Wedding Venue was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was timely, on point, and painless throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and overall value was truly beautiful - they put the biggest smile on my wife's face and were incredibly patient with our very loud, very personable group. They kept us on schedule, made sure there was always a drink in my hand, and were just wonderful to work with overall. We actually had more problems with our own wedding party than with Bakers Ranch, which is a testament to their professionalism. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a stress-free and unforgettable wedding day.

This venue was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! Our event producer, Lexie, went above and beyond—she brought so much energy, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm to every step of the planning process. I also have to give huge thanks to Alicia, my bridal attendant on the wedding day. She was such an essential part of keeping me calm, organized, and able to fully enjoy the day. The space itself is breathtaking, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. The food was outstanding—so many of our guests made a point to tell us how much they loved it! The entire day was filled with joy, and it was clear that the team knew exactly what they were doing. They made our wedding everything we had hoped for and beyond. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

I truly don’t even know where to begin, but first, I have to thank God for Sadaf, Alex, and the entire event hall team. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made, and I promise you will not regret having your event here! From the very start, I called, texted, and even showed up unannounced numerous times, yet both Alex and Sadaf were always so welcoming and patient with all my questions and concerns. Their kindness and professionalism were unmatched. But on the day of my wedding… I am truly lost for words. It felt as if I were their own daughter, and they wanted nothing more than to make sure my day was absolutely perfect—and it was! My guests are still raving about how courteous the servers were and how kind and professional the bartenders were. And I can still picture Alex and Sadaf smiling at me on my wedding day, making sure everything was just right. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had my wedding there, and I have not a single regret. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything—both seen and unseen, known and unknown. May God Almighty bless you all abundantly in Jesus’ name! 100/100—Highly

OMG. Liberty House was the most perfect venue for our April 2026 wedding. From our first meeting with our memory maker, throughout the entire planning process, to the day of our beautiful wedding – we were so confident in our decision to choose Liberty House. Casey was so responsive, reliable, and reassuring. Even as a type A anxious bride, I never felt overwhelmed or uncomfortable dealing with the LH team. Even without a perfect view of the city skyline (it was rainy and cloudy on our wedding day), the Liberty Room space was perfect for our wedding with about 90 guests. The rain actually ended up being a blessing in disguise – since no one was outside on the patio, our dance floor was absolutely packed all night. Our timeline was curated and executed perfectly in time with the natural flow of the evening. Our event stylist, maitre d, and bridal attendants on the day of the wedding went above and beyond to make us feel the most special. Another thing that sets Liberty House apart is the guest experience. Our guests still have not stopped raving about the food, drinks, and overall positive energy of the space and team. Our vision was brought to life and genuinely reflected our love and spirit as a couple. So if you are considering Liberty House, I would recommend them 100 times out of 100.

Houston, TX
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

Just south of Spring, where the pines thicken and the city noise finally falls away, Ashton Gardens North Houston makes its case as a glass chapel wedding venue built entirely around light. The open-beam stone chapel is walled in windows, so the surrounding forest becomes part of the ceremony rather than a backdrop glimpsed from inside. Chandeliers carry that glow into the reception, where a winding staircase gives every entrance a little theater. Outside, garden-lined paths wander past a quiet stream and a vine-draped courtyard, offering more photo backdrops than a single afternoon can use. Generously proportioned getting ready suites mean the morning-of unfolds without anyone feeling rushed or cramped. It's a glass chapel wedding venue built for couples who want serenity and scale in equal measure, with room for up to 200 guests to settle in and stay a while.

My husband and I used AGNH as our ceremony and reception venue and it was perfect. The staff were all so kind and accommodating to our requests, and Sydney (our venue-assigned planner) was a breath of fresh air whenever I was feeling overwhelmed.

Brookledge is such a wonderful spot. Our wedding weekend was literally perfect! Not only because of the beautiful venue, but because of the amazing personalities behind Brookledge. Helen, Amber, and the rest of the staff make everything happen for their Brookledge couples and guests. One of my wedding guests mentioned how calm and relaxed our wedding felt, and that is exactly how I felt the entire weekend as well. The power ended up going out during our reception, and Amber already had a back up plan to keep the show running. All of our guests that stayed the weekend complimented how cute and fun the venue was, and we were lucky enough to be the first ones to use the new Trolley and Jean & Lise cabin! The rest of our guests have been raving about the venue as well. If you are considering Brookledge as your wedding venue, or even just a quick stay in one of their various lodging spots, DO IT!!!! This is absolutely a hidden gem, you will not regret it.

Dorcas was great from the very beginning. She made everything so easy and helped put the whole package together with the catering, bartender, photographer, DJ, and décor. Everyone did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the bartender was fun, the DJ played exactly what we wanted, and Susan made everything look beautiful. It was all set up just the way I pictured it. I felt like I was probably a little difficult because I knew exactly what I wanted and was very straightforward, but Dorcas never made me feel that way. She was always kind and reassuring. The pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included, and I honestly didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Everything went smoothly, and we had such a great time. I would definitely recommend them!

We got married at Stonebridge this past weekend, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we started planning to the very last song of the night, everything was absolutely incredible. The food was phenomenal, the cocktail hour was amazing, and our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Every detail came together perfectly, and our guests are still talking about how much they loved everything. A huge thank you to Diana, who was incredible throughout the entire planning process. She was so responsive and always one step ahead, making what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless! Terrence is hands down the best maître d’ in the business. He made sure we always had a drink in our hands, reminded us to eat, kept us hydrated, and ensured we actually got to enjoy our wedding. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once, and to top it all off, he ended the night on the dance floor serving cannolis to our guests! His energy and genuine care made such a difference. Tracey was the absolute best bridal attendant we could have asked for. She was there for anything and everything we needed and constantly checked in on both the bridal party and the groomsmen since everyone was getting ready in the suites. Everyone loved her, and she made the entire day feel so relaxed and stress-free. The updated bridal and groom suites are absolutely stunning. My sister-in-law even had her 2-month-old baby with her, and there was more than enough room to create a quiet little corner for them without feeling crowded. It worked out perfectly, and everyone had plenty of space to get ready comfortably. Stonebridge gave us the wedding of our dreams. Every member of the staff went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.

The Log Cabin was the perfect venue for our fall wedding. From the start, Amanda’s communication was professional and organized, helping us stay on top of every detail leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, my day-of coordinator Kelly was incredible - her attention to detail and smooth operation ensured the whole event ran flawlessly. The venue itself was beautiful, with the perfect amount of space for our celebration. The excellent service and professionalism of the entire Log Cabin team truly made our special day everything we had hoped for.

We toured several venues before finding The Ranch Miami, and from the very first visit, we knew it was different. If you're looking for a wedding venue near Miami that feels peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature, this place is truly special. The entire experience was effortless. The team was responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day stress free. Instead of worrying about vendors, timing, or logistics, we were able to be fully present with our family and friends. The property is even more beautiful in person. The sunset created the most incredible atmosphere, our photos turned out amazing, and every guest kept asking how we found such a hidden gem. It feels like you're miles away from the city while still being close to everything. We also loved how flexible the venue was. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a large celebration, the space adapts beautifully. It's one of the most unique wedding venues we've visited and easily one of the best outdoor wedding venues in the area. If you're comparing every wedding venue in Miami or searching for a South Florida wedding venue, do yourself a favor and schedule a tour before making a decision. You'll understand why so many couples fall in love with this place. We would choose The Ranch Miami all over again without hesitation.

10/10 recommend this venue and working with Mike his team! We hosted our wedding reception here in Sept 2025 with 100 guests, and it was amazing. The venue is super customizable—you can pick your own vendors, décor, and setup. Pricing was fair and flexible to our budget. We didn’t want plated food, and Mike helped us find the perfect caterer. The bar service was top-notch too—no long lines, no waiting. We booked a year out, so we worked with Mike for an entire year leading up to the big day—and he was incredible every step of the way.

About wedding venues

How much do wedding & reception venues cost?

The cost of wedding venues varies, with factors influencing cost including size, location, guest count, and, most importantly, whether things like catering and rentals are included. The more a reception venue near you includes, the higher the cost. When considering venues, try to compare prices apples-to-apples. If one venue includes catering and rentals in their pricing and the other doesn’t, you need to figure out how much additional cost those outside vendors would be to make a true comparison. Before booking, be sure you’re aware of additional costs outlined in your contract, like parking fees and weather-related considerations (adding a tent, etc.).

What questions should we ask wedding venues?

When talking with a potential venue, always ask about 1) their availability and 2) their capacity. Some popular venues book up peak season Saturdays nearly 2 years in advance—if your first choice date isn’t available, consider your flexibility on day of the week and year. While maximum capacity is non-negotiable, venues might have guidance on what guest count will be most comfortable. Also, you’ll want to understand what is and is not included in the venue’s fees. Some include catering, tables and chairs, and linens, while others offer just the raw space. These venues are often less expensive because you are only paying for the space itself, and you’ll have to bring in outside vendors
