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!

We got married in April here and it was amazing! The venue is beautiful and there is a lot of space. My planner, Madison, was very helpful during the process and would answer any questions I had. Our coordinators Janeen and Jackie were awesome! They helped make the day flow perfectly and if we needed anything they were on top of it! The DJ was great as well and was included in the package. The only compliant I have was that they ran out of food even though less people showed up then in our final guest count. We got the steak option and it was delicious but the portions they gave out were small and they somehow still ran out...

We had our wedding at AvantGarden in October of 2025. After touring quite a few options in Houston, we knew that Mariana and her team were the ones we wanted to help us plan our big day. Mariana was very communicative throughout the entire process and has weddings down to an art. She has an endless list of local connections and trust us when we say to listen to her on the food and cake because people have not stopped raving about both months later. We had use of the entire venue from top to bottom and while we designed our own centerpieces, the team set everything up exactly as we had envisioned, incorporating the perfect floral shades and designs to give our wedding a classy gothic feel rather than turning it into a Halloween party that happens to have a wedding. We opted for mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks and they were a big hit with us and our guests. The food truck on site was amazing as was the cake Mariana helped us order. The entire night went so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a single item and got to really enjoy our wedding and time with our guests. There aren’t enough words to express just how wonderful everything was and we cannot imagine how our day might have gone had we chosen any other venue. Truly a perfect experience.

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!

If I could give The Springs in Cypress more than five stars, I would. From the moment we first toured the venue, we knew we’d found something truly special. We searched venues across the entire U.S., and this one stood out for its breathtaking beauty, castle-like charm, and the promise of a near all-inclusive experience that fit our budget. It delivered on every front. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—elegant architecture, lush grounds, and a romantic atmosphere that made our wedding feel like a fairytale. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous it was. Both sides of our families kept saying it was one of the most beautiful venues they’d ever seen. My husband’s cousin even snuck off with his fiancée to take impromptu engagement photos on the property because it was just that magical (we didn’t blame them at all!). We had a destination wedding in Houston, and some of our family thought we were a little crazy for that choice—until they saw The Springs. All doubts vanished the moment they stepped onto the grounds. It was love at first sight for everyone. The coordinators and sales team were phenomenal. Communication was consistent, clear, and kind throughout the entire planning process. They worked seamlessly with my personal coordinator and with me directly, which made everything feel smooth and manageable. Every question was answered, every concern addressed, and every detail handled with professionalism and care. Now, I’ll be honest—if you’re new to planning a big event like I was, be prepared for add-ons. It felt like everything came with an extra charge, and that was a bit overwhelming at times. I chose to forgo some services I originally wanted (like plated dinner) to stay within budget. But that’s more a reflection of my own learning curve than a fault of the venue. They were transparent about costs, and the value was absolutely there. In the end, I wouldn’t change a thing about our venue choice. The Springs in Cypress gave me the wedding of my dreams. I felt like a princess, surrounded by beauty, love, and the kind of atmosphere you hope for but rarely find. If you’re looking for a venue that’s visually stunning, professionally run, and truly unforgettable—this is it.
