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!

Ashton Gardens West Houston 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
Houston, TX
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

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.

  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Provides setup and cleanup
  • Pets can join the celebration

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

Ashton Gardens North Houston 
Rating: 4.5 (22 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!

Accommodating up to 200 guests, Chapel at Palacios pairs its romantic waterfront setting with a variety of all-inclusive packages and a dedicated planning team designed to make every step effortless. For couples drawn to European charm and a genuine sense of escape, this Westlake venue offers a light-filled, airy backdrop that feels a world away from the everyday, all just minutes from Roanoke and the greater Fort Worth area.

This venue has everything I was dreaming of for my wedding. The chapel and reception spaces are so beautiful and well maintained, plus the bridal suite is huge! My fiancé and I recently attended one of the showcases and got to try free food/drink samples and speak with their partner vendors in person, which was helpful and reassuring considering we didn’t live in the state throughout most of our planning time period- we will be using their partners for DJ, catering, and stationary.

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.

Do not make a decision on venue till you see this one and once you see it - BOOK IT! They fill up quick, but thankfully, they had a date in February that Alexis thought could be available and we took it! I am writing this review 4 days after my daughters wedding. Our kids are in the age range that are getting married. We have been in many wedding venues in Montgomery County. Our daughter wanted a “european-classic” feel to the venue and The Homestead delivered. When considering all the wedding things - PRiCE IS A BIG DEAL, but also the look of the venue, quality of the food and the training of the staff that will serve your guests. I need to note that all the glasses at this venue are GLASS. This elevates the experience and we loved it! Alexis shared suggestions on vendors when we asked and we did end up hiring a few and we were happy. The leadership at this venue is experienced - they will help make this a magical moment for you. They know what they are doing and WOW - I am so thrilled with how our event went. It was beautiful, well-planned and executed. The entire evening was memorable and our guests were pampered. Also, when I sent an email asking for help, it was quickly returned. Thank-you to all the staff and vendors that helped with our wedding - you guys did an awesome job!

This was the second venue that we toured, and the moment we stepped out of the car, we knew we had to book this for our wedding. Every inch of this place tells a story and has an amazing vibe. Matt and Renee were a dream to work with. They understood our vision and tried to make any ideas we had work. It happened to be the one time in Texas it rained for our day (of course!), but it actually turned out to be stunning weather. They were so fast shifting between rain and sun plans, still accommodated what we had in mind while also ensuring our guests were taken care of. They have amazing connections with people in the wedding business, literally every recco we went with they provided was perfect. I still am depressed about the day being over because it was just that good. I will forever recommend this venue - you truly can't go wrong.

My husband and I searched high and low for the perfect wedding venue, and this property exceeded every expectation. We knew we wanted a small, intimate wedding, but we still wanted it to feel beautiful, special, and intentional. Even though we only had 12 guests, the property is spacious enough to accommodate much larger celebrations. There are actually two homes on the property and accommodations for bridal parties up to 28 guests, making it ideal for wedding weekends and family gatherings. This property would also be great for a much larger wedding because the property is HUGE. Plenty of room to bring in tents, tables, and decor. We turned our wedding into an entire weekend experience, starting with a welcome pool party and BBQ for our guests. The property has everything you could need, including an incredible bridal suite, a stunning permanent wedding arch, and large gathering tables perfect for hosting meals and celebrations. The younger crowd loved being able to continue the festivities in the game room after the parents called it a night. We spent hours singing karaoke, playing poker, and enjoying all the games available. The property itself is absolutely breathtaking. Every area was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The wedding arch created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, and the scenery was simply unforgettable. As if the day wasn’t magical enough, we were treated to gorgeous pink skies and even two rainbows on our wedding day. The host was incredibly kind, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process, and having a property manager on-site gave us extra peace of mind knowing any needs would be handled quickly. Everything about our experience was exceptional. From the accommodations and amenities to the beauty of the property and the outstanding hospitality, every detail helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough.

When we arrived, the venue was spotless and the team had already set up all the chairs and tables for our reception, so we could focus on enjoying the moment.

The Warwick Melrose - Dallas is an exceptional wedding venue that I highly recommend. From the knowledgeable, responsive, and professional staff, to the high-end, luxurious, and customizable offerings, they truly deliver an exceptional experience. The front desk, valets, and banquet staff are attentive to every detail, even helping to steam linens, which is often overlooked. They served a plated meal to a large guest count with precision and efficiency, and kept bar traffic to a minimum. They even built an extra bar facade upon request - just exceptional service and attention to detail. As a wedding planner, I adore their catering and sales managers because they are such excellent communicators and know the space inside and out.

Melanie & Miranda were an awesome team! They answered all our questions & gave suggestions to help us fulfill our dream vision. They were so patient & kind when my daughter had trouble making up her mind. They kept at it until she was satisfied. They really worked hard to help us stay in budget while getting the look we were going for. The buffet food was delicious and moist! Not easy for a buffet! The cake from Jenny Lane exceeded our hopes & expectations. We sent a photo and Nabil did an even better job! The flowers were great & the moon gate was beautiful! It was bigger & grander than we expected. The champagne tree was a big hit with everyone! It was such a pretty sight to see as entering the outdoor ceremony space! We got so many compliments about how pretty the venue was, the cake, the food, & the moon gate. My daughter said it was a perfect day! Thank you! I couldn’t ask for more than that!

The venue itself is absolutely stunning and has such an enchanting, fairytale-like charm across the entire property. I also love how the venue is owned and managed by one family. You can easily see how much love and work they put into it all, to make sure these couples have the best wedding possible, and I really appreciate that. The value of the package we chose, definitely met our standards. We had access to the grounds for the entire day of the wedding (9AM-11PM), which was really advantageous, and there was even complimentary valet. The bride and groom both had their own separate quarters, which were very old houses with such ancestral and historic character that I really adored. The food was delicious and better than expected, since most weddings I've been to had very bland and disappointing dishes. The Chef on-site was very kind and helpful during the tasting process. Jose, the property manager, was very generous with his time and was very understanding and communicative with visits, tastings, and vendor schedules. There were a couple of times that there was confusion with contacts and miscommunications over phone calls/texts, but it was quickly figured out. As for the day of the wedding, the weather was highly unpredictable. It started off sunny and then it stormed for a few hours and then it cleared up just in time for the ceremony to still be held outdoors, and then it rained again for hours- shortly after the ceremony. However, Jose reassured me that they were all fully prepared to rearrange for everything to be indoors, if need be. The only qualms I really had with the night was when the food was being served, it got disorganized and confusing, since we didn't want a seating chart but had two entree options- so we tried to give everyone color-coordinating name plates, but it did not seem to workout too well. Everyone eventually got a meal, though. However, my husband and I wanted our dinners to be boxed up, since we were too anxious and excited to eat. We had told our coordinator this, and she said she would tell Jose to make sure it was done, but I guess the word never got back to him and the food was unfortunately thrown away. Similar situation happened with the cake, because we thought we were going to have the top tier saved for the 1 year anniversary tradition, but I think it was all served, which isn't really a big deal to us (I would rather my guests each have a slice of cake). When the wedding was ending after the grand exit, it got really hectic with packing and cleaning, because of the rain and everyone leaving at the same time, but Jose was really kind about us coming back the following day to pick up all the items that were left behind. Overall, the venue is beautiful and definitely worth it's value, all the staff are very friendly and exceptionally accommodating-I highly recommend it. We had a great time and everyone was happy, and I can't wait to go back to the venue for the complimentary, 1st anniversary bed and breakfast they offer!

Amazing wedding venue with options for all weather & gorg photo ops. They’ve thought of everything! We used the chapel (added drapery to avoid backlit photos) for ceremony. It ended up being a little too hot for both ceremony and cocktail hour and everybody said they couldn’t believe chapel that was our plan B and looking back i’m so glad we did it! Cocktail hour outside was perfect and reception was a blast. Def get a partial planner since it’s not an all inclusive venue - you / your planner do need to set up catering, rentals, floral, and other decor vendors so having a partial planner (Cassie -Heavenly Day) helped make our planning and wedding weekend amazing. Make sure your planner and photog has worked at Ma Maison before so they know all the layouts/best photo spots! Loved that Ma Maison sent payment reminders and accepted online payment. Their in house rentals for dance floor, uplighting, cross, and stage made those rentals super easy! Had so much fun climbing bell tower and ringing bell to bring guests inside for din/dancing. Karen (owner) thought thru all the big moments and made sure a grand entrance / door / walk way for all of them! Made the day so fun and special. We added some white drapery, white tablecloths, white stage covers, and white dance floor to brighten up reception space and thought made a huge diff! Looked way less rustic and more bright ballroom. Only minor note on venue - Our wedding was end of october and grass was still a pretty dry from summer. Would be nice if Ma Maison watered the grass a bit more to keep more green during hot season. Ultimately that had zero impact on our amazing weekend /experience but if you’re booking a wedding during aug - oct know that it may be drier grass.

We really struggled to find a venue in the Austin area that we liked. Venues tended to be ultra-rustic farmhouses, or ultra-contemporary spaces with no charm, neither of which are our vibe. Anything we did like was priced absurdly high and booked through 2025. Then we found The Carrington and are SO happy we did. We were looking for a place that could provide a cozy-yet-elevated, intimate dinner party atmosphere for our wedding, and The Carrington was exactly that. It had so much charm and character, and the 3 distinct spaces (indoor, ceremony side yard, and backyard) were perfect for creating a natural flow from cocktail hour, to ceremony, to dinner, to dancing. The convenience of the bridal suite upstairs and the guest house next door were a massive plus, too. Our guests gave rave reviews of the venue. We had a really positive experience working with the staff-- particularly with Emily, who was so helpful, kind, and easy-going. The laid-back and flexible attitude of The Carrington team helped make wedding planning so much less stressful. A lot of venues we toured had rigid rules and functioned like wedding factories, not leaving much space for the unique touches we wanted. The Carrington staff were totally open to our ideas and requests, and we were able to handcraft our perfect event. Lastly, the price was unbeatable. I still can't believe how much bang for our buck we got at The Carrington. The wedding industry can feel extremely financially predatory, so I am so grateful to them for providing an affordable option that didn't sacrifice quality. The price of the venue was single-handedly what kept us from going over budget. I would 100% recommend The Carrington, but will note a few things to consider: - We had a spring wedding so the grass and landscaping were fully green and in bloom. During summer and winter you may need more florals/decor to liven up the outdoor space. - There is a train right by the venue with an unpredictable schedule, so there's a chance it will go by during your ceremony. We lucked out and didn't have that happen, but it was on our minds!

Your Something Old & New! Olde Dobbin Station will provide a unique experience for its clients through the use of old structures built in the early 1900’s, restored to their original look and feel, while adding a vintage touch. The buildings were initially used by oil companies as a “pumping station” and later became a famous place of fellowship for those in the community due to its Artesian Water Well. It became the community “swimming hole” according to many of the locals and remains a historical marker for the community and its residents. Olde Dobbin has recently renovated its final structure and officially has made it into a chapel. The “chapel” was initially used in the late 1800’s as a pump house for the nearby trains' steam.

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%)
