“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.”

Ashton Gardens North Houston 
Rating: 4.4 (114 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Houston, TX
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

Just south of Spring, where the pines thicken and the city noise finally falls away, Ashton Gardens North Houston makes its case as a glass chapel wedding venue built entirely around light. The open-beam stone chapel is walled in windows, so the surrounding forest becomes part of the ceremony rather than a backdrop glimpsed from inside. Chandeliers carry that glow into the reception, where a winding staircase gives every entrance a little theater. Outside, garden-lined paths wander past a quiet stream and a vine-draped courtyard, offering more photo backdrops than a single afternoon can use. Generously proportioned getting ready suites mean the morning-of unfolds without anyone feeling rushed or cramped. It's a glass chapel wedding venue built for couples who want serenity and scale in equal measure, with room for up to 200 guests to settle in and stay a while.

“My husband and I used AGNH as our ceremony and reception venue and it was perfect. The staff were all so kind and accommodating to our requests, and Sydney (our venue-assigned planner) was a breath of fresh air whenever I was feeling overwhelmed. The food was also SO delicious, including the cake, which we had made in-house. Our wedding vision became a reality at Ashton Gardens North Houston!”

Lubbock, TX
  • Up to 250 guests

  • Starts at $5,000

The Historic Baker Building has been part of Downtown Lubbock since 1928, so when you celebrate here, you're adding your story to nearly a century of history. From 1940–1942, the building hosted USO dances, welcoming servicemen and the community to gather and dance. Today, couples still celebrate on those same historic hardwood floors. The Baker retains incredible original character, including its vintage tin ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors. We even still have two original chairs from 1928. Our wrap-around mezzanine overlooks the ballroom and is one of the building's most distinctive architectural features. Nearly 100 years after opening its doors, the Baker is still doing what it has done for generations: bringing people together to celebrate. Your wedding doesn't just happen in a historic building. It becomes another chapter in its history.

“From the very first moment to the very last, Madera Estates was nothing short of a dream come true for my husband and I! I’m a very Type A bride (lol!) who loves having every detail planned to a T and I can honestly say that on our wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Alexa and the entire Madera team were phenomenal, effortlessly keeping everything running smoothly and allowing us to truly be present and soak in every moment. An extra, extra special shoutout to Alexa, who went above and beyond in ways we will never forget. She made sure the night ran without a single hiccup, brought us our signature drinks, and ensured we didn’t miss out on any part of our celebration. Her attentiveness, calm presence, and genuine care made us feel so incredibly supported and special. The experience was so beautiful that I often joke with my husband, “Do you want to get married AGAIN at Madera?” That’s just how magical it was. From our very first consultation back in January 2024 with Ian and Alexa, it was clear that our vision truly mattered. Every conversation, every detail, every step of the process felt intentional, like our dream wedding was at the forefront of their minds. And wow… Madera delivered!!! Our wedding day was absolutely magical. It felt deeply personal, perfectly executed, and filled with so much love and joy. Our hearts were — and still are — incredibly full. We felt genuinely cared for, celebrated, and catered to in every way. Endless thanks and love to everyone at Madera Estates for giving us the most unforgettable Happily Ever Alex Wedding, we will cherish this experience forever!”

“Overall, we would absolutely choose Ashton Gardens Corinth again. We had a wonderful experience with the venue and Walter’s Wedding Estates overall, and I’m sharing this review in hopes it helps future couples researching venues. First, our wedding planner and coordinator, Becca, was incredible. She is extremely organized, a great communicator, and such a kind person. Our day would not have been the same without her. She kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, checked in on us throughout the day, and truly made us feel supported and cared for. Venue: The beauty of Ashton Gardens is truly unmatched. The chapel is breathtaking, and I will never forget the moment the doors opened for me to walk down the aisle. The bridal suite was exactly what I hoped for and comfortably fit me, my seven bridesmaids, both moms, and our hair and makeup artists without feeling crowded. The groom’s suite is smaller, so the groom and his groomsmen chose to get ready off-site, which worked fine for them. One thing we loved is that the reception space is just a short walk from the chapel, making the transition to cocktail hour and the reception very easy for guests. The reception hall is spacious and offers a lot of flexibility for floor plans. We had 142 guests, plus a rented dance floor and dueling piano players, and the space felt perfect. One thing we wish we had known before booking is that the “included” rehearsal hour is only offered Monday–Thursday. Rehearsals outside those days require an additional fee. Food & Drinks: We chose the exceptional catering and bar package through Walter’s. Unfortunately, the food ended up being our least favorite part of the wedding, which is the only reason we are giving a four-star review instead of five. Several guests mentioned their meals were cold or dry, and we later learned the last table served received noticeably smaller portions, which was disappointing given that our final guest count was submitted well in advance. However, the team did a great job accommodating guests with dietary restrictions. Along these lines, we were disappointed that there was no opportunity to have an actual tasting to choose our menu, so we chose a chicken and steak duet as a safe choice. We did attend a Walter’s showcase, but they only had pork, fish, or chicken to try that night. Since we had fewer than 150 guests, we paid to have both bars open, which we highly recommend to avoid long lines. Guests had great things to say about the bartending services, and the signature drinks were fantastic. Vendor Package: The vendor package was a huge benefit. Not having to worry about rentals like linens, plates, glassware, and tables saved us a lot of time and stress. The vendors we worked with through the package were professional, communicative, and wonderful to work with.”

“Ashelynn Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The team communicated very minimally but was clear and covered every detail we needed to know, which made the planning process easier. The property itself is stunning and the price point is hard to beat compared to other venues we looked at. Our guests loved the beautiful space and had an amazing time. One thing to note is that we wouldn't recommend their bartending services, our guests were served warm champagne drinks and the white wine wasn't chilled when it should have been. I highly recommend the caterer on their list, T&M! My sister’s baking company, Wally and Whisk, made my beautiful cake also definitely recommend! Overall, we're happy with the venue itself!”

Situated on 42 beautiful acres with sweeping views of the San Gabriel River Valley, HighPointe estate offers exceptional service and beautiful spaces for your wedding or special event. Our story began when our son and daughter-in-law were married. We designed the flowers for the wedding and they were a hit! Soon, we were doing flowers for weddings all across Central Texas. It was during this season that we witnessed the challenges couples face - inadequate space, and poor “Plan B” options during bad weather. Every element of HighPointe Estate is designed with couples and event logistics in mind. We offer thoughtfully designed spaces to help you set the perfect mood for your big day. Our indoor spaces feature chocolate-brown trusses, stunning chandeliers, and loads of natural light streaming through large doors and windows. Outdoors, you’ll discover comfortable porches, beautiful gardens with water features, and plenty of room for outdoor fun!

“This is the best choice I could have made for our wedding day. The price was affordable for the Austin/Hill country area and there were no hidden fees. They added in a perk like leaving greenery in the chapel up for no additional cost! The venue itself is breathtaking, although the floors might need a good wash! Dawson, the owner, is attentive in responding and was a majority of the time kind although sometimes seemed somewhat standoffish, whereas it was a bit harder to reach Jena (over a days response wait). Scheduling for the final walkthrough and the rehearsal was a bit of a pain, but everything managed to work out! Miscommunication closer towards our wedding was more common but was not the usual. Overall this venue, with its beauty and calmness helped make our day perfect.”

“Getting married at this venue felt like something out of a Bridgerton-fantasy. From the moment the chapel door opened for the bride to the blooming flowers and green from the garden cocktail hour and to the soft-light candle dinner. As a bride and groom, it's everything we could have dreamed for. The venue is so versatile and can accommodate for so much. The staff we worked with provided us with all the information before the big day. And our coordinator Hannah, was the most reassuring and organized sweet human being we could have asked for. Before wedding day she sent hype texts and checked-in plenty. When we had a hiccup during the big day, she was quick to fix it like when she needed to pocket-fold 150 napkins an less than an hour about the ceremony. (thank YOU!!) She also was a master time keeper. All of our guests were in awe of how beautiful and seamless everything went. This is certainly a place that will stay with us forever and a night that will remain unforgettable.”

“If we could give Stoney Ridge Villa and Missy more than five stars, we absolutely would. The venue is beautiful with so much space, but honestly, Missy is what sold us. From our very first conversation, she was so personable and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. She responded to every question so quickly, was incredibly organized, and you could tell how much she truly loves what she does. On our wedding day, Missy was everywhere. She worked nonstop behind the scenes making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, handled any issues without us ever knowing, and even got down on her hands and knees to fluff my dress before I walked down the aisle. She also let us borrow décor from the venue and took behind-the-scenes photos and videos that we will treasure forever. The venue itself is stunning, but the level of care Missy puts into every wedding is what makes Stoney Ridge Villa so special. She made it possible for us to be fully present and enjoy the best day of our lives without worrying about a thing. We truly cannot recommend Stoney Ridge Villa enough. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with someone who will care about your wedding as much as you do, Missy is the person you want by your side.”

This venue features gorgeous arches and hand-carved woodwork that add special touches to any style or sized wedding ceremony.

“Chateau Bellevue was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we first contacted them, the staff was incredibly quick to respond and personable in their communication. We knew right away that they would be a great fit. On the day of the wedding, they exceeded our expectations - the venue looked stunning with the table and chair setup they provided, and having their two huge parking lots in downtown Austin was an absolute lifesaver. Our wedding party was even able to park overnight and walk to the nearby bar district after the reception. This hidden gem of a venue is not only historic and charming, but also an incredible value. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. I would highly recommend Chateau Bellevue to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding experience.”

Ashton Gardens West Houston

Houston, TX
  • Up to 300 guests

West of the city, just outside Katy, Ashton Gardens West Houston is a glass chapel wedding venue that leans into restraint. Its serene, light-filled chapel is framed by oversized windows that pull the surrounding greenery indoors, setting a calm tone before a single guest is seated. From there, the space opens dramatically: a grand ballroom of sprawling crystal chandeliers, glass walls, and soaring ceilings, elegant enough that it asks very little of additional decor. A staircase entrance adds a beat of theater on the way into the reception, while manicured grounds and the venue's signature doors give photographers no shortage of polished backdrops. Meanwhile, spacious getting ready suites keep the morning unhurried. This is a glass chapel wedding venue for couples drawn to grandeur that doesn't shout, comfortably hosting up to 300 guests without ever feeling crowded or overdone.

“Let me first say this venue is absolutely stunning! My fiance' and I were looking for a place that needed minimal decor and we stunted across Ashton Gardens will looking through The Knot. The chapel is gorgeous and the windows really do set the tone for an elegant wedding! The reception hall which is just a few steps away is equally beautiful, not needing really anything at all to enhance the look. My wedding planner is Sheila and she has been fabulous along the way. With the being my FIRST and ONLY marriage, I have so many questions and believe me I had emailed Sheila probably more than I text my fiance, but she is super sweet and has answered every question I had without any hesitation. The service is amazing and I really could have not prayed for a better venue; mind you I looked at 30 locations across the Texas area.”

Big Sky Barn doesn't try to look understated. As a rustic wedding venue, it leans fully into its materials, warm reclaimed wood, sleek metal accents, and rugged stone, stacked together across 17 acres of Montgomery, Texas pine and hardwood until the whole property feels unmistakably rustic-chic. Guests can take a scenic detour across a covered bridge and wander beneath an ivy-covered pergola en route to the ceremony. Following the ceremony, cocktails are poured from a vintage truck repurposed as a bar. Cornhole and string lights keep the courtyard lively through golden hour, while vintage windows and reclaimed textures give every room a sense of history rather than staging. It's the kind of rustic wedding venue that photographs like it's been loved for decades, even on its very first booking, comfortably hosting up to 250 guests who want laid-back elegance with real, tactile character running through every corner of the property

“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.”

Nine wooded acres just outside Houston set the stage for Jennings Trace, a contemporary wedding venue built on clean lines and confident restraint. Vows happen inside the glass-enclosed Wildrose Chapel, where polished concrete floors, black steel beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding forest instead of blocking it out, letting natural light do the heavy lifting. That same modern sensibility, punctuated by sculptural accents and architectural precision, carries into the reception hall, while an outdoor lounge lit for cocktail hour extends the evening beneath the open Texas sky. Nothing here feels dated or over-decorated; every surface reads intentional.

About wedding venues in Texas

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. You'll also find excellent accessible options at Jennings Trace near Houston which offers single-level celebration spaces. 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.

What Wedding Expenses Should You Budget for in Texas?

Beyond your venue there are several other key expenses to consider when planning a Texas wedding. For a typical 150-guest celebration your budget will likely break down this way: - Florists: $6,755 (15%) - Venue: $6,932 (16%) - Catering: $5,546 (12%) - Bar services: $4,437 (10%) - Photographers: $3,966 (9%) - Videographers: $3,555 (8%) - Planners: $3,768 (8%) - Bands & DJs: $1,299 (3%) - Cakes & desserts: $853 (2%) - Hair & makeup: $495 (1%)
