My experience with this venue was absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I were not high maintenance or detail oriented for our wedding. We wanted the a simple nice wedding that we did not have to put a lot of work in and this place was perfect! High quality venue and vendors!! The venue itself was so beautiful, you barely have to decorate it. The vendors are all with the venue, and our amazing planner Sheilah W was awesome! She gets everything prepared and deals with contacting all the vendors and putting everyone on the same page. I was so shocked the packages even included stationeries (save the dates & invites) ! Vendors included flowers, photographer, catering, DJ, day of coordinator, cake/desserts, all inclusive bar. I am so glad we chose to have our wedding here! When I tell people I barely did anything to plan this wedding.. I mean it. In a good way because it was such a stress free planing process for us! It was such a great day. Simple and beautiful

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!

The Carriage House by Walters Wedding Estates was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we started working with them, the communication was quick, caring, and detail-oriented. Their coordinator, Hunter, was outstanding - his attention to detail, professionalism, and heart were exactly what we needed for planning and preparing for our day. Despite a change in plans due to the weather, they didn't let that get in the way of making our day short of perfect.

About wedding venues in Houston, TX

Why Is Houston Perfect for Your Wedding Celebration?

Houston gives you that perfect blend of big-city sophistication and genuine Texas charm with its diverse venue options. 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.

Guest CountAverage Total Cost
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.

Which Houston Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Petroleum Club of Houston regularly wows guests with exceptional dining that many call the best wedding food they've ever had. The Grove earns serious praise for culinary excellence using locally grown ingredients that add special touches to their dishes. Your guests will remember the food. The Houstonian delivers refined Southern hospitality and cuisine making it a trusted choice for elegant wedding celebrations with memorable meals. The Astorian gives you flexible personalized dining options tailored exactly to your preferences and style.

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.

How Can Zola Help With Your Houston Wedding?

Zola's Houston-specific planning tools include budget tracking that reflects local pricing structures with venue costs at 16% florists at 15% and catering at 12% of total wedding costs.
