Got married at Simple Affair this June and everything was wonderful from start to finish! From the very first visit before securing the date, the staff was very informative and helpful. Maddy, our event coordinator, was so responsive and attentive to any and all questions we had throughout the planning process. The day of, the team that was working was very helpful as well and adjusted to even the smallest last minute changes we made to our timeline and the different adjustments we made to the flow of the reception. I could not recommend this venue enough! They have so many different options and can as involved and all inclusive or as hands off as you would like them to be, it’s really very personalizable and we couldn’t have picked a better option! Another great benefit is that if you are a DIY bride, they are so adaptable to your vision and can help assist in bringing your Pinterest board to life. The space of the venue really is so big it’s amazing how well you can decorate the space and still have room for a big dance floor. One specific thing we loved about this venue and a big reason we went with them was the possibility of bringing in your own food to better fit your vision. Having specific kinds of food was very important to us because we had a particular vision and we were able to achieve that here! A huge thank you to everyone at A Simple Affair that was involved in our wedding last week!

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding reception! The space itself was truly incredible, but what really stood out was the staff. When rain rolled through right at the start of our reception, the entire crew was all hands on deck with backup plans ready to go. They handled everything so smoothly and kept the party moving, we practically forgot it even rained! Throughout the night they were energetic, attentive, and so much fun to be around. Our guests are still raving about them and, of course, the amazing pizza! The team brought so much life to the celebration and made the entire day unforgettable.

Our wedding could not have been any better, thanks to Liberty House and their wonderful staff. Aurora was our contact at Liberty House, and she had everything down to a science. I never had to stress about anything. She answered all of our questions quickly and never made me feel dumb for asking the simplest of questions. I truly appreciated her guidance. The food at Liberty House was divine. Truly, their chefs are a league above others. The options we had for food selections were incredible, and we're so happy with everything we picked. Our guests still talk about the mozzarella station! On the day of the wedding, the staff was, in short, flawless. Once we arrived, they were attentive and got us and our wedding party anything we needed. When sending over our decor, I had given them a rough idea of how we wanted things to look. But I never imagined that they'd set up everything so beautifully! They took my one-sentence description and turned it into a masterpiece. Throughout the night, the staff was always there to help. From walking in my dress to getting me hot water when I was freezing, they were always ready to help. When my drink was low, they got me a new one. When I started to leave without my shoes on, they grabbed me some flip flops. When we decided last-minute that we wanted to have a rehearsal dinner at the Madison Rose, they made the process seamless. My wedding wasn't stressful. I felt like a guest at my wedding thanks to their staff. The grounds are gorgeous, the food is to die for, and the staff is exceptional!

Houston, TX
  • Up to 200 guests

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!

Brookledge is such a wonderful spot. Our wedding weekend was literally perfect! Not only because of the beautiful venue, but because of the amazing personalities behind Brookledge. Helen, Amber, and the rest of the staff make everything happen for their Brookledge couples and guests. One of my wedding guests mentioned how calm and relaxed our wedding felt, and that is exactly how I felt the entire weekend as well. The power ended up going out during our reception, and Amber already had a back up plan to keep the show running. All of our guests that stayed the weekend complimented how cute and fun the venue was, and we were lucky enough to be the first ones to use the new Trolley and Jean & Lise cabin! The rest of our guests have been raving about the venue as well. If you are considering Brookledge as your wedding venue, or even just a quick stay in one of their various lodging spots, DO IT!!!!

Dorcas was great from the very beginning. She made everything so easy and helped put the whole package together with the catering, bartender, photographer, DJ, and décor. Everyone did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the bartender was fun, the DJ played exactly what we wanted, and Susan made everything look beautiful. It was all set up just the way I pictured it. I felt like I was probably a little difficult because I knew exactly what I wanted and was very straightforward, but Dorcas never made me feel that way. She was always kind and reassuring. The pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included, and I honestly didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Everything went smoothly, and we had such a great time.

Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.

About wedding venues

How much do wedding & reception venues cost?

The cost of wedding venues varies, with factors influencing cost including size, location, guest count, and, most importantly, whether things like catering and rentals are included. The more a reception venue near you includes, the higher the cost. When considering venues, try to compare prices apples-to-apples. If one venue includes catering and rentals in their pricing and the other doesn’t, you need to figure out how much additional cost those outside vendors would be to make a true comparison. Before booking, be sure you’re aware of additional costs outlined in your contract, like parking fees and weather-related considerations (adding a tent, etc.).

What questions should we ask wedding venues?

When talking with a potential venue, always ask about 1) their availability and 2) their capacity. Some popular venues book up peak season Saturdays nearly 2 years in advance—if your first choice date isn’t available, consider your flexibility on day of the week and year. While maximum capacity is non-negotiable, venues might have guidance on what guest count will be most comfortable. Also, you’ll want to understand what is and is not included in the venue’s fees. Some include catering, tables and chairs, and linens, while others offer just the raw space. These venues are often less expensive because you are only paying for the space itself, and you’ll have to bring in outside vendors
