The Bell Tower on 34th was an incredible venue for our wedding. From start to finish, their team was incredibly efficient, professional, concise, and punctual in their communication and execution. The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was clean, timeless, and classic. I didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day - my coordinator Donna was awesome and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Literally nothing went wrong, and my mind was completely at ease knowing the Bell Tower team had every detail covered.

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.

You'll find spaces for intimate gatherings of 50 guests or grand celebrations with over 300 attendees. October tops the popularity charts for Houston weddings, and you'll benefit from exceptional venue choices ranging from historic buildings to sleek modern designs. 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.

50 guests (small wedding)$20,399
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. Jennings Trace provides step-free entrances throughout and can welcome up to 350 guests with inclusive facilities that work for everyone regardless of mobility needs.

How Can You Experience Houston Weddings Remotely?

Houston venues are going beyond basic streaming to include remote guests in meaningful ways. The Bell Tower on 34th can set up interactive elements like live polls and Q&A sessions for your virtual attendees. 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. Pelazzio's certified planners can help integrate advanced remote participation tools while The Grove's park setting creates opportunities for virtual scavenger hunts or AR-enabled activities everyone can enjoy.

The Houstonian delivers refined Southern hospitality and cuisine making it a trusted choice for elegant wedding celebrations with memorable meals.

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.
