I found The Heights Villa through a friend who was looking for a quince venue. I had no idea they had taken the old neighborhood church and turned into something spectacular. When I visited the venue I fell in love, then I met the owners. Brendan and Cathy are nothing short of LITERAL angels on earth. They make you feel like you’re home, like you’re exactly where you should be. I toured several other Houston venues, some that were even double the price of THV and something wasn’t right. Every tour at the other venues made me feel cold and foreign, it just wasn’t right. Then I toured THV with Cathy and Brendan and I KNEW this was where I was meant to solidify my union with my husband. They made sure every decision I made was well informed and in alignment with my vision of my perfect day. There was never any surprise fees, lack of communication or shortness of EXTRAVAGANT luxury options for me to choose from. If I could go back in time and tour venues again, I would skip every other option and not waste my time. THV was a win from the second I stepped inside that gate and met Brendan’s smiling face. If you’re struggling to find a venue that treats you like a human being, puts your vision into play correctly every time, and elevates your special day from good to ANGELIC then THV is your venue. Don’t make the same mistake I did by wasting your precious time touring venues who don’t care about you, start with THV and watch your ultimate dreams come true!

I was originally planning for an outdoor wedding at the Event lawn. However, we had to make the last minute call to move it indoors the night before due to the expected rain the next day. I was initially disappointed but now I am so happy that we made that decision for our guests’ comfort. Carol and her team pulled through and had everything set up beautifully in the classrooms. ESPECIALLY adding the drapes on the ceiling which elevated the whole room. Luckily, we finished the ceremony early and was able to arrange our lion dancers to meet us out in the court yard lawn before the rain. I was able to get my favorite photo of all our guests with us and the lion dancers. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the space and said how beautiful that this piece of nature exists right in the Houston city limits THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

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.

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.

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.

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.
