“This venue is beautiful!! We got married here in April (Mountainside ceremony, Colorado room cocktail hour and Albert’s lodge reception). It was the perfect Colorado backdrop for our out of town guests. The venue provides the chairs for ceremony, shuttle services between the ceremony and reception, and kept the fireplaces running throughout the night but the external vendors take care of pretty much everything else. Just remember that because of preferred/required vendors everything adds up quickly! We did have a great experience with all of the recommended and required vendors. The one thing I would have changed about the venue is if they could have opened the Colorado room wall/doors. It was 80 degrees but they don’t open them until after May 1.”

“I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Ashton Gardens and especially our planner, Tyasia. Our wedding on April 10 was absolutely perfect, and a huge part of that was because of her. She handled EVERYTHING so incredibly well. Every detail, every timeline, every little thing behind the scenes was taken care of, and because of that I genuinely had zero stress on our wedding day. I never once had to worry about what was happening or what came next because Tyasia was already on top of it. She made the whole day run so smoothly and perfectly. She was calm, organized, kind, attentive, and just truly incredible at what she does. She cared so much about making our day special, and you could tell in everything she did. So many people in our family and wedding party even commented on how amazing she was throughout the day.

“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.”

“We are so happy that we found and chose Paradigm Gardens for our wedding! We really can’t imagine having done it anywhere else, because this felt like the perfect venue for us. We honestly loved the entire process with Karen and the gardens. We kept wondering why planning a wedding has a reputation for being stressful, because we really enjoyed it. The day went perfectly, and so so many of our guest said it was honestly the best wedding they had been to. I think it is because it was laid back, yet beautiful, felt true to us as a couple, touching, and allowed space and time for genuine connection with us and our guests. Also the food was UNBELIEVABLE. We loved the concept of the outdoor kitchen, it tasted great,and was not your typical wedding food.

“My wife and I could not be more thrilled with the way our wedding was handled at Saphire Estate. From the very beginning, we were treated very kindly by all of the staff who helped us with all of the detailed planning and execution. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend having your wedding at Saphire Estate! I’d like to give a special shoutout to our main contact, Kayla, who was with us just about every step of the way starting with our tasting. The best way to put it is that Kayla is a consummate professional. She helped my wife execute such a wonderful evening down to every last detail that she wanted to include (which was quite a few). Kayla listened to every idea she had and gave her honest and invaluably experienced input into each answer. The day and night of? Kayla got us! Thank you so much Kayla! Also a huge shoutout to Jeannine and Judy who were with us throughout the day and night, handling things left and right to keep our focus on the guests and their experience. When it came time to leave after our wedding, they had things neatly packed, labeled, and ready to go. Believe me, that part was huge. The food was excellent- we heard from all of our guests how much they liked both the chicken Milanese and the salmon! Thank you to the wonderful staff- planners, managers, chefs, servers, and bartenders for such a spectacular wedding!”

“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!”

Ashton Gardens North Houston

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. The food was also SO delicious, including the cake, which we had made in-house. Our wedding vision became a reality at Ashton Gardens North Houston!”

“Gabe and the entire crew at HH knocked it out of the park. The entire day went flawlessly, they worked seamlessly with our vendors, set up the rooms better than I could have ever imagined. Not to mention the space itself/location is GORGEOUS….but funny enough, we booked the space for the insane views of NYC, but happened to get the foggiest day of December - it. Did. Not. Matter. !!! Hudson House KILLED IT and made our day beautiful, stunning, and perfect start to finish. Our guests are raving about the time they had.”

“We loved The Spot! We had our wedding reception there in August. We has 185 guests attend, and the space was perfect size for it! The dance floor is huge, and you can have up to two bars including one big one! The location is perfect - we had out of town guests stay in hotels one block away and a lot of people walked to The Banks bars after the reception! Another great aspect is they let you bring in your own catering/alcohol, which gives a lot of flexibility (and isn’t as hard as you’d think to coordinate).”

“From the moment we walked through the doors of The Drexelbrook, we knew our daughter’s wedding was in the very best hands. What unfolded on her wedding day was nothing short of extraordinary; an experience filled with elegance, warmth, and absolute perfection. The staff was truly amazing! They were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making the day flawless. The food was incredible, exceeding every expectation, and the convenience of having the venue, hotel, and after-party all in one location was such a gift to our guests. The attached bar and restaurant allowed family and friends to arrive early and comfortably socialize before the celebration began, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere from the start. The outdoor setting provided stunning photo opportunities that we will treasure forever. Every single staff member went above and beyond, but we are especially grateful to Hannah, Kim, and Dom Savino. From our very first meeting through the wedding day itself, they were exceptional. There truly are not enough words to thank them for their guidance, kindness, and attention to every detail. Everything was handled with such care and excellence. It was nothing but the best! We are so very thankful to The Drexelbrook for making our daughter’s wedding day absolutely magical. It fulfilled her dream of a perfect wedding, and for that, we will be forever grateful.

“We had our wedding at the Ryland Inn in August and it was absolutely perfect! The Ryland was the first place we toured when we were looking at wedding venues, and nowhere else came close to comparing. We had Giana as our event stylist and she was amazing – answering all of our questions, knowing every detail, and making the entire process seamless. Giana walked us through the entire wedding planning process and was essential to making the day so perfect. The morning of we got ready in the Hayloft, and it was nice being close to see everything being set up. We were in the Grand Ballroom, the inside of which is beautiful with the chandeliers and fireplace, and so is the outdoor area. The food was outstanding and received so many compliments from our guests. I’m so happy we chose the Ryland Inn!”

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
