How long it would take to get to the venue depends on where you are staying but I would definitely budget some extra time for transportation because Houston traffic is pretty bad. The merging on the highways can be confusing as well and if you miss a merge, it can be a 20 minute detour.
We recommend by private vehicle or Uber/Lyft. It is about 30 minutes from Downtown Houston. Unfortunately, there are no public transportation options.
There will be free parking at the venue. Please plan ahead and do not leave cars at the venue overnight because the gates going into the venue will be locked the next day and you will be unable to retrieve your car
They will both be indoors.
We would like to have an unplugged ceremony so that guests can fully be part of our special moment with us. We will have a professional wedding photographer and will share those photos with guests once we receive them. Feel free to take as many photos as you would like during the reception!
Based on trends, the high is in the mid to high 80s.
There will be beer and wine at the Welcome Party and beer, wine, and spirits at the wedding reception. For non-alcoholic drinks, there will be water and sodas at both events.
Yes, there will be at both the Welcome Party and wedding reception; however, selection will be more limited at the Welcome Party. If you have any other dietary restrictions, please let us know as soon as possible and we will try our best to accommodate.
