I cannot say enough about how fantastic everything on my wedding day. It took a while for my parents and I to agree on a venue, but I'm so happy with what we decided on. Having had Paulina and Elisabeth there for me on my wedding day was such a dram. They were friendly, warm, professional, and so talented! They are so attentive to what you want and helpful to how you want to achieve it. I am truly blown away by their services and still feeling on high about how everything turned out.

AvantGarden (and Mariana, the owner) did a great job with our wedding, especially considering the extreme weather we experienced! We appreciated that the venue was mostly all-inclusive, especially when planning the event from out of town, and for a very reasonable price! The event space itself has a casual, fun vibe with plenty of room for our guests (175) to explore and excellent food and drinks. Many of our guests made a point to come up to us and tell us how much fun they had and how awesome the venue was, and we were shocked by how many people said the taco truck (venue recommendation) was the best wedding food they had ever had! The staff was great and made some excellent cocktails and I also have to shout out DJ Dillon for bringing such a fun vibe to our karaoke after party (another Mariana recommendation). You do need to put your faith in Mariana and be prepared to "let go", however. If you're looking to be very hands-on and are particular about all the little details, prepare to be frustrated because that's not the way Mariana works. She has her own process and knows what will and will not work based on experience, and she can be tricky to get in touch with until closer to the wedding date. Ultimately, though, she came through and did an excellent job for us. Trust in Mariana! Overall, it was super helpful that AvantGarden took care of most of the wedding planning (including delivering our flowers to our off-site ceremony venue), and the space made for such a fun atmosphere during the reception. I would definitely recommend AvantGarden as a wedding venue, especially for couples who are looking for a less stuffy and more unique atmosphere and who are looking to be more hands-off in the planning process.

We got married at Le Tesserae on 5/4/24 and it was the most magical night of our lives! Their entire team was so helpful and knowledgeable, and made the venue selection process a no-brainer. We were the first wedding here, and even as it was quite literally being built, we never got super stressed or discouraged, thanks to their professionalism and communication. Courtney and Joe were SO INCREDIBLE to work with! In addition to their amazing staff, Le Tesserae also had everything I was looking for in a venue – beautiful décor, an indoor/outdoor space, a pretty and spacious bridal suite, great food and an amazing view of the city. It truly checked every box. From the moment you step off the elevator and see the chandeliers and mosaic tile, you gasp and are awestruck by the beauty and charm of the venue. After signing our paperwork with the venue, they shared a list of recommended vendors with us, everything from music, dance floors, photography, videography, etc., and I can’t tell you how helpful that ended up being. It’s because of Le Tesserae that we were able to then secure the rest of our Dream Team! We (us and our guests) are still on a high from the magic of our wedding day and night. I would 100% recommend this venue if you’re looking for something new and modern while also being classy and timeless. Everything was perfect!

The authentic Texas hospitality shines through personalized service and regional food traditions that your guests will love.

What Does a Houston Wedding Actually Cost?

Wedding budgets in Houston shift dramatically based on how many people you invite. A small wedding with 50 guests runs about $20,399 while stepping up to 100 guests pushes that to $34,008. Medium-sized weddings with 150 guests typically cost $46,803 and 200-guest celebrations average $58,239. Larger affairs with 250 guests come in around $69,676 while big celebrations with 300 guests reach $81,113.

100 guests$34,008
150 guests$46,803
200 guests$58,239
250 guests$69,676
300 guests (large wedding)$81,113

Venues typically cost between $6,600 and $8,000 which is about 16% of your total budget. That's actually lower than the national average of 25% so you're getting good value. Most couples in Houston lock in their venue about 13 months before saying "I do."

Which Houston Venues Are Fully Accessible?

The Grove offers complete accessibility throughout its sprawling 12-acre downtown location with smooth pathways and elevator access to its rooftop deck. You can host up to 800 guests on the Grace Event Lawn. Houston Arboretum & Nature Center features wheelchair-friendly paths winding through natural settings and accommodates up to 150 guests.

How Can You Experience Houston Weddings Remotely?

The Astorian's tech capabilities support virtual guestbook signing and real-time interaction that keeps everyone engaged. Ronin Harrisburg's flexible space works great for interactive virtual activities your remote guests will appreciate.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a Houston Wedding Venue?

Transportation access matters in Houston's sprawling geography with downtown venues offering easy hotel access while suburban venues might need shuttle services for your guests. Climate control systems make a huge difference during Houston's humid summers so newer facilities typically offer better management. Photography timing should account for Houston's dramatic late afternoon light in venues with western exposures versus the softer morning light in eastern-facing spaces. These practical considerations can make or break your big day.
