I got married here April 13th 2024! What an amazing and beautiful venue. I truly couldn't have asked for better! Everyone at the venue was super accommodating and I came multiple times to visit and plan my floor plan. At an extra cost I also rented the facility the day before my wedding for set up and rehearsal. I really appreciated the DIY aspect of everything to truly make it my own. The wedding day was absolutely beautiful and perfect. I will forever be grateful for this venue and the people there. Thank you guys over and over!!!!

I got married at the Carlisle Room a couple weeks ago and it was the best experience! The ceremony is downstairs and the reception is on the first floor in one large room, but you have a ton of freedom in the floor plan. I originally thought the dance floor was going to be too small but it was perfect! There are a few break out spaces in the reception room and we had a photo booth in one area, games in another, there are sofas to lounge and cocktail tables to hang at. We had 3 bartenders and 2 bar stations and it was great! The ceremony room is so beautiful but you can only fit 3-4 people on a row. It makes for a long aisle though. The alter is small so our wedding party had to sit on the side. It was great for us because we wanted to be the only ones up there but still unfortunate that it was too small to hold all of us. Also, the bathrooms are downstairs and they are 3/10. My mom brought a ton of bathroom goodies so I think that distracted people from the mediocracy of them. I got ready at the Statler and walked over (it may as well be connected it’s just next door) and that was perfect. Also, don’t be fooled by all the photos you see of people on the stairs outside because that’s at the church next door. It was 109 degrees when we got married but I really wanted those photos and it was hotter than Hades. Lastly, we were very limited to what was allowed for the send-off. I got biodegradable rose petals (that were approved by the venue) and 15 minutes before send-off I was told that we would get fined 500 which was a big bummer since that was approved by the venue coordinator. Anyways, this is a very honest review but I definitely recommend the Carlisle Room! It is so grand and stunning and our photos make me look back and just be in complete awe of the beauty of it all. And we had very minimal decor because the venue is so beautiful on its own.

The belle manor was an absolute pleasure to have my wedding. The only takeaway is the overnight stay. They had zero towels, paper towels, soap etc for guests. If you can sleep 8-12 why were only 3 towels available? Other than that they were excellent and accommodating to our needs.

Reds Roadhouse was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication style was quick, easy, and convenient - Aleisha and her team were a breeze to work with throughout the entire planning process. The quality of the space and value was unbeatable - it provided the best bang for our buck. The venue's decor package setup was a huge time and money saver, and having them handle all of our vendors made the day completely stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience. Highly recommend Reds Roadhouse to any couple looking for a beautiful, affordable, and well-run venue.

About wedding venues in Rice, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day. The state is home to countless venues that showcase authentic Texas character while still matching your personal style. Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests. Many Texas venues incorporate unique regional touches you won't find elsewhere; live country music that gets everyone dancing, mouthwatering BBQ stations and custom boot favors that celebrate local heritage. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for. The national average runs about $6,500-$12,000 which represents roughly 25% of your total wedding budget. Your overall wedding costs will depend largely on how many people you're inviting to share your special day:

Guest CountAverage Total Wedding Budget
50 guests$19,410
100 guests$32,365
150 guests$44,545
200 guests$55,433
250 guests$66,322
300 guests$77,211
In Texas specifically, venues typically account for about 16% of your total wedding budget with couples spending an average of $6,932. This gives you plenty of room in your budget to customize other elements of your celebration that matter most to you and your partner.

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away. If you're considering Houston, you'll find venues that thoughtfully incorporate bayou landscapes alongside sophisticated cosmopolitan amenities. Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere. Fort Worth venues perfectly blend Western heritage with modern conveniences for a uniquely Texan experience. November emerges as the most popular month for venue inquiries across the state, so you might want to plan accordingly if you're interested in this popular time frame.

How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Texas Venue?

Texas couples typically book their wedding venues about 16 months (or 457 days) before their wedding date. November stands out as the most popular month for venue inquiries so planning early is essential if you're considering this timeframe. This advanced booking timeline helps you secure your preferred date since popular venues often fill their calendars far in advance especially for prime weekend dates. Booking early also allows you to lock in current pricing before annual increases that many venues implement. Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in Texas?

Madera Estates in Conroe stands out for its commitment to accessibility with fully paved event spaces that accommodate wheelchair navigation throughout the property. You can host up to 330 guests here and the venue is frequently praised for physically walking through accessibility needs during the planning process.

Hummingbird Hill Weddings in Chappell Hill prioritizes inclusive design throughout their venue and The Preserve at Canyon Lake features wheelchair-friendly pathways connecting all major celebration areas. These venues ensure all your guests can fully participate in your special day regardless of mobility considerations.

Which Texas Wedding Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Bell Tower on 34th in Houston delivers exceptional dining experiences under Executive Chef Sergio Arellano. His international culinary team creates gourmet meals on-site that will impress even your most food-savvy guests. Food-focused couples should also consider Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin where you'll enjoy spectacular views alongside premium cuts of Texas beef. Cisco's Salsa Company near Tomball has built a reputation for their award-winning Mexican cuisine that adds authentic flavors to your celebration. Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in the Houston area offers a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience with tableside carving and a festival atmosphere your guests will remember long after the wedding day.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.
