Aristide, Mansfield was an excellent wedding venue choice for us. The staff, particularly Miranda, communicated effectively with us throughout the planning process and were open to answering any last-minute questions, no matter how "dumb" they may have seemed. The venue itself is beautiful and spacious, requiring minimal additional decor - our guests kept commenting on how lovely the space was. We accidentally left several items behind at the end of the night, and the staff was generous in returning them to us. Overall, Aristide, Mansfield provided a wonderful backdrop for our special day and I would highly recommend them to any couple searching for a beautiful, low-stress wedding venue.

We went on a wedding tour of the Olana given by Calla and it was an incredible experience. She was very patient and polite and took the time get to know us before giving a grand fabulous tour of this enormous one of a kind property. She also provided very interesting history of the Olana. Every wedding questions we had Calla had a detailed answer to. The videos and photos on social media of this location do not do this place justice. It is a must visit!

The staff with Walters Wedding Estates were amazing to work with all throughout, from the selection of venue, to planning, to the wedding itself. They have a lot of in-house vendors and options. We didn't use all of them, but it was so helpful to not have to search for vendors in areas that my wife and I didn't have strong preferences/thoughts on. Chapel at Ana Villa was an amazing venue. Our guests thought the chapel and reception area were beautiful, and the proximity to some hotels and Grandscape and Stonebriar Mall made it very easy for our out of town guests to find things to do close-by and then get ready and walk over to the venue. The staff on the day of were amazing and kind to our guests. And our coordinator, Beth. Wow, she was an amazing lady to work with. During the planning process, she helped check in on our planning progress, and also was so attentive to any questions we had (and she can tell you we had a lot haha). She was also our day-of coordinator and helped us keep on time and comfortable. We had often heard of things going wrong with weddings and to prepare for it, but other than a couple hiccups in set-up, the wedding was smooth, and we have to credit and thank Beth and her team for so much of that. Maybe one minor feedback is that it was a little confusing to hear Walters and Marriott didn't have some kind of partnership given they're next door to each other.

I don’t even know where to start because they were truly that amazing. From the very beginning, their team was so attentive and quick to respond. No matter what questions we had (and there were a lot), we always felt taken care of. That alone made such a difference during the planning process. The food… I’m not exaggerating when I say it was incredible. We had multiple guests go out of their way to tell us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. That was something really important to us, and they absolutely delivered. Funny enough, my husband and I never even made it to the bar because people kept bringing us drinks all night—but that didn’t stop us from hearing how great it was. Sergio and Parker were such a hit that guests were literally referring to them by name. That kind of impression doesn’t happen by accident. Amber, our event director, was amazing from day one. She was always patient, helpful, and on top of everything, which made us feel so confident going into the weekend. Then on the wedding day, Oscar and Jose went above and beyond making sure everything was set exactly how it should be and jumping in to help our coordinators, family, and bridal party whenever needed. Looking back, one of the biggest strengths of this venue is their people. Every single person we interacted with genuinely cared, and it showed in every detail. We honestly didn’t have a single stress point when it came to them, which says a lot. We’re just really, really grateful. They played such a huge part in making our day feel easy, fun, and special—and we’d choose them again in a heartbeat.
