In addition to the other post I made regarding places in Houston to hold your wedding ceremony or wedding reception (post is here if you missed it), I have a few more that you can consider. While most of these are located in Houston, there are some listed that are located in Spring, Texas and Tomball, Texas as well. When looking for a venue, please consider the size of your wedding party, (not just the bridal party, but the number of invited guests). you don’t want to get a place that holds 300 and you invite 500. you also don’t want to get a place that holds 300 and you only invited 100 as that would be wasted space and wasted money and considering the current economy, that might not be a good idea.
Marriott West Loop by the Galleria
This room is actually on the second level and has a great view. Since this room faces east, it might not be that great for an early morning wedding (10 or earlier), but it is ideal for any time after that.
Brenner’s Steakhouse actually has two locations in Houston, Texas, but this one is off Memorial Dr and has a beautiful garden area, lovely gazebo and the restaurant area will hold a large crowd in its rooms.
McCormick and Schmick’s Uptown Park
I actually shot this room during a Christmas Party, but I loved the layout so much that I immediately thought how nice it would look for a wedding reception!
Hilton Greenspoint (formerly the Wyndham Greenspoint)
The Hilton has a very nice and very large ballroom downstairs as well as a “smaller” room upstairs. Both rooms could accommodate both the ceremony and reception for your guests. These are shots from the smaller room:
and this is the larger room where the bride and groom held the ceremony and reception in (they used a partition to split the room).
I have had the opportunity to photograph this place several times and I absolutely LOVE this ballroom! It has a large dance floor and it’s always well lit and there are plenty of places to shoot!
This place has several locations available, depending on the size of you wedding party, both indoor and outdoor locations. This particular wedding was shot in the Fall (Halloween Night to be exact) and they used the outdoor gazebo.
La Tranquila Ranch – Tomball, Texas
I posted a few of these from a wedding I did there back in January, but here are a few more of the layout:
The Houston, Texas Metro area has a lot of great places that can be used for your wedding ceremony and reception. Each one has a personality all its own and I’m sure you can find one to fit your style and your budget.
