    Great venue to work at for a wedding videographer!

    Kemah Gardens is a beautiful outdoor venue with the perfect indoor space for receptions. We always enjoy working with the owner and staff when we are hired to work an event there. We would recommend it to anyone who asked us about this place.

    Absolutely love this venue

    This year, we decided to have a Halloween wedding, and it turned out to be absolutely stunning. We were grateful for all the assistance we received in making our wedding day truly memorable. The decorations were spooky yet elegant, with pumpkins and candles adorning the venue. The guests were dressed in creative and imaginative costumes, adding to the festive atmosphere. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped us in creating such a magical and unforgettable day.

    Kemah Garden’s with such a wonderful experience I couldn’t imagine sharing the special day with my family at this beautiful hidden gem venue!

    It was so nice to have had a Sunday Funday birthday party at the Kemah Garden’s with such a wonderful experience. I couldn’t imagine sharing the special day with my family, friends and colleagues at this beautiful hidden gem venue! The venue was very spacious for our family, the venue was well decorated, and the staff was very nice and accommodating for all of our special needs. It was just a special day spent with special people, and we created special memories of a lifetime! Looking forward to having another event very soon.

    Thank you, Kemah Gardens!

    I would recommend this place if you’re looking for something really nice subtle whether it’s a small wedding or something big I can accommodate couple hundred people. It has an indoor and outdoor enjoyment experience with a beautiful pond and landscape scenery.

    Beautiful Venue

    Ciria was very accommodating for us when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. The venue is beautiful! Kemah Gardens had to move our ceremony location at the last minute due to the ground being wet from rain that day, but it ended up even more beautiful than our original plans. We were very happy with Ciria and her team and would recommend Kemah Gardens to anyone who is planning a wedding or large event.

    A Special Wedding Day At Kemah Gardens

    They were wonderful to work with. Even during such trying times as the global pandemic of COVID-19. Our guests kept complementing on how beautiful everything was. The weather wasn’t cooperating with our team and the team quickly made arrangements to adjust the layout. It ran smooth and we enjoyed the experience. Thank you fir all your time, effort and help!

    Kemah Gardens...Our First & Final Favorite Locale

    We fell in love with the Kemah Gardens venue the first time we visited, but since we were planning a ceremony only, we could not schedule anything until 30 days before our wedding date. This was challenging, so my fiancé and I decided to sit down and plan an itinerary. Ciria and Marian met with us and helped us talk through the many decisions we needed to make, from type of the ceremony, flowers, minister, sand ceremony, and the music we wanted played. Since our budget was tight, we initially decided on a ceremony only. Ciria helped us to see if we reduce the guest count, we could also include some cake cutting & toasting time for photos and video. They were patient and showed us some sample table set-ups for the sand ceremony we wanted to include. Our Wedding Day at Kemah Gardens was so beautiful and memorable, we could hardly take it all in! On the day of our ceremony, the Kemah Gardens Team was calm and professional, even though my fiancé and I were crazily nervous. Although the day was cold (a chilly 63 degrees), it was picture perfect outside and we were able to have the ceremony on the deck overlooking the pond. Ahh…so romantic! Both of our families and friends loved this venue! I recommend you add this venue to your list! You will not be disappointed.

    Kemah Gardens's reply:

    Wilie, you and Lori were a true joy to work with. On behalf of the entire Kemah Gardens team, I want to thank both of you for the trust you placed in us to help you celebrate your marriage at Kemah Gardens. Our prayers for beautiful weather were answered. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. God Bless You!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Ciria and her team helped us create the perfect day and really let us get creative throughout the whole process. From the decor to the dances, we knew we wanted to do things a bit different than most and they were all about making OUR dream become a reality. Ciria was always easy to get in touch with and very upfront about everything from pricing to what we could expect at each step of the way. We used their "inclusive" package in which they booked many of the vendors (DJ, Catering, Cake) themselves which truly made the process seamless. I'd always recommend this package as having a day-of coordinator really made the day so much easier. We had our ceremony outdoors on the deck connected to the pond, this gave us some great shots with the fountain in the background. And the indoor scheme was the perfect match for our tuscan floral arrangements. Also, if you want a great shot for bridals, they allowed us to take my shots there and I cannot say enough about how gorgeous the willow trees make the pictures look!

    My daughter Erin was thrilled to find this beautiful venue! It was such a pleasure for us to work with the owner Ciria Rybicki and her staff. This beautiful place is perfect for anything--not just a wedding. The weather did not cooperate, but the venue hall with its large windows and glass walls allowed the ceremony to be performed so that the wedding party and guests looked out at the luxurious grounds and natural beauty. We were able to get outside for pictures in between showers, but the ones taken inside were still quite nice.
    This venue is minutes away from nationally-known attractions, including the Kemah Board Walk, the Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston, and just about 30 minutes from Galveston. There will be plenty for out of towns guests to do if they want to come for a few days! But while you are on the grounds of Kemah Gardens, it's hard to imagine that the hustle and bustle of everyday life is so close by.

    Everything about this place is amazing! My day could not have gone any better. I choose the Kemah Gardens due to the fact I could have a fairytale backyard wedding. The all inclusive package made my busy life so simple and left the fun stuff to me. I am very grateful for everything and everyone who helped out with my special day.

    Kemah Gardens was an ideal venue for our small, intimate wedding ceremony of approximately 100 close friends and family. Since my spouse and I travelled from out of state for the wedding, we took advantage of the full range of all-inclusive services offered by Ciria and her pre-vetted vendors (i.e. venue, reception hall, decorating, DJ, meal catering, wedding cake, parking, valet services and much more). Ciria guided us flawlessly through the processes necessary to hold a beautiful unique wedding specific to our requests. Our guests are still commenting on what a wonderful wedding we had and how much fun they had. It rained the day of our ceremony (tears of joy from heaven). Ciria and her staff quickly moved our wedding vow location from outside by the pond to the newly constructed covered patio. They took great care to ensure the setting was beautiful and personalized as I had desired. If you need a beautiful venue for your wedding or any other important event, I recommend Kemah Gardens. I rate Kemah Gardens 5 Stars for exceptional value, personalized services beyond that which is customary, outstanding quality, a beautiful setting all resulting in a memorable experience.

    I had my wedding at Kemah Gardens on 11/18/17 and it turned out great!. I am not much of a planner, planning events is something that has always overwhelmed me. Cidna and her staff did a great job pulling everything i wanted for my wedding together and made it beautiful. I only had to give her the ideas of the look i wanted for my wedding and she was able to pull it off without any problems. Even throughout Hurricane Harvey I was getting text messages from Cidna reassuring me that the venue was doing great that they did not have any damage to the property. Later on Cidna explained to me all that they went through during the hurricane to make sure their property stayed in tip top shape. Cidna and her staff take great pride in their venue and you can tell by its up keep. All the vendors that work with Kemah Gardens or that Kemah gardens reccommended were wonderful and i got several compliments on them. I can't even count the amount of compliments I had on the venue, the DJ, the food. Several people have told me that our wedding was the funniest wedding that they have gone to. It was a great experience and I couldn't have been happier with Kemah Gardens.
