Wedding of our dreams

I had my wedding at Kemah Gardens on 6/10/23 and it was everything I could have imagined that day to be :) The venue is absolutely gorgeous, ideal for those who want an outdoor wedding! I got so many compliments from friends and family about the venue. Lisa and Ciria were the true MVPs with making sure everything turned out the way we wanted. They were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, and on the day of the wedding, they made sure that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. Ciria even helped turn my wedding cake into a masterpiece last minute after some confusion with the cake vendor.

My dream wedding

This wedding venue was to die for. I had my wedding on March 7, 2026. The staff was very helpful and great. Beautiful view all the way around the property. Got a lot of compliments on how beautiful it was there. My package deal included everything without breaking the bank. Dj Jay had the dance floor full the whole night. Our catering service Red River Catina Tex mex god was so delicious with a great fixing on the side. Cakes by Jula was very good and beautiful. Wedding coordinators were on top of everything and made sure everything came out perfect. And it did!

Happily Ever After

Ten years ago we were able to get married in this quiet yet beautiful venue. The staff is attentive and listens to the needs. They communicate well through the event and help ease the stress of planning a wedding. The grounds are beautiful and kept up with well. The platform that overlooks the pond for the perfect I-Do's is so peaceful. We were blessed to come take our Anniversary pictures here again this summer and announce our second pregnancy. It's still as beautiful as that first day, if not better. Perfect place to celebrate and enjoy life.

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.

We were absolutely delighted with the reception and Kemah Gardens in general. The place was perfect for my daughter’s Quinceañera Ciria and Lisa were and are great with attention to customer service❤️. We could not have had a better location for my daughter’s party.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our daughter had her wedding here on April 21, 2018 and it was lovely! The venue is beautiful from the bride and groom rooms, to the ceremony area, to the reception facility. Ciria was a pleasure to work with, as was her staff. She is very passionate about what she does and it shows in all the details that are included in the package. It took a lot off of our to-do list! The whole day was so stress-free because of their attention to detail! We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend the venue!

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.

Allison and Ciria are amazing! Just had our wedding 10/21/17 and it went perfectly. The place is beautiful and I had the best night of my life. My husband and I recommend this place to anyone getting married! It is pricey, but in my eyes it was worth every penny. My guests are still talking about how much fun they had!

Our wedding day 10/30/2016 was so memorable. Our wedding was gorgeous. Our wedding planning Ciria was the best. Her attention to detail made our wedding day so truly unforgettable. I was not stressed at all on the big day. The location was stunning. My husband and I enjoy the outsides and wanted something rustic and with nature. We had a sunset wedding and were married over a small lake with trees surrounding the property. You get ready on a plantation or country style home, ceremony was over a lake and reception was held in a rustic pavilion. I came to Ciria with a few ideas in mind of what we wanted and she was able to execute and delivery so much more. Thankyou Kemah Gardens!!!

This venue is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. You can tell that the owner Ciria and her staff take very good care of it. From the first time I saw this place all the way up to the wedding and after, I was completely in love. Ciria was so sweet and made the whole process of planning my wedding as relaxing as it could be. She handled all the connections between the DJ, cake company, and food catering except for the obvious details we had to answer. The set up, break down, and clean up were done exactly to my liking by herself and her staff. We did not have to hire a wedding coordinator because she acts as that on top of everything else she does. You can really tell that Ciria is not in this for the money, but because she really cares about this business and helping people on one of the most important days. Most venues would be done with you after your big day but, Ciria and I have kept in contact even after my wedding. She is someone I look forward to having in my life for years to come. ABSOLUTE BEST VENUE AND OWNER EVER!!!

My husband and I got married at Kemah Gardens, October 22, 2016. The day was incredible! Ciria and her team worked with us to deliver everything on time, and to get everything setup. Her recommended vendors for the cake, DJ, food and flowers were wonderful. There was some miscommunication with the flower folks, but Debbie took care of it quickly. Her team came together to get the centerpieces completed. The team at Kemah Gardens were attentive and offered wonderful smiles with their service. They made us feel at home, which enabled us to be able to take in all the goodness of that very special day. Our guests raved to us about how amazing the venue was, and how neat it was that it's located in our part of town. Thank you to the team for helping us celebrate this magical moment!

From the first day of seeing Kemah Garden's, it was breath taking. We drove up to the gates without an appointment and Ciria was open to meeting with us and showing us around the property. We absolutely loved it and her customer service. We planned our wedding a year in advance and Ciria was in contact with us always, from sending photos of recent weddings or just seeing how the planning was going. She genuinely cares about her clients and it shows in her work. The venue is gorgeous and very well maintained. We used her preferred vendors for food, cakes and DJ. The food was amazing and everyone commented on how wonderful it was. The desserts were terrific and Dean kept the dance floor going all night. He even came out and danced with us! If you haven't checked out Kemah Gardens, you definitely should! This place is a hidden gem and should be on the top everyone's list who is planning an event! Thank you again to Ciria and her wonderful staff!

I reserved my wedding just over a year before our wedding. We got married this past weekend, and it was amazing. She helped take so much stress out of the planning, finding other vendors, and so much more. I got the all inclusive package, and it was perfect for us. I didn't have to worry about finding and paying for the officiant, cake, dj, food, bartender, anything. She knew our colors (purple and camo), and decorated the venue with a mixture of her decor and some that I had dropped off.
Everything went smoothly, and I couldn't ask for more. I loved it, and all the guests were in complete aw!
Thank you for a picture perfect wedding!

As soon as we walked into the Venue we knew right away this place was for us! If you want a Sunset Wedding this is your place. Kelly and me are laid back people . We love to entertain and just make sure everyone is having a good time. So when we toured Kemah Gardens we imagined all of our family and friends outside at sunset with this Amazing view where everytime there is a different sunset we knew this is our HOME! But then we walked into this Beautiful Pavillion that had great wood work, beautiful lighting and at this time it was open but they were in the process of making it to where it could be open or a closed Pavillion! Ciria Rybicki was just so down to earth and welcomed us in with open arms! My Husband even said she reminds me of you! Petite and full of fire! Meaning he could see this gleam in her eyes that he knew she truly enjoyed what she was doing! He sees that in my eyes everyday! We knew Kemah Gardens was the place for us!

We got married in April and it was absolutely perfect. Kemah Gardens was more than I could have imagined. Ciria was awesome and very helpful throughout the whole planning process and on the wedding day! The day we were getting married, the forecast was thunderstorms in the afternoon. Ciria called me that day and we figured out our game plan for handling the weather. It ended up being sunny and the sunset while we said I do was so pretty setting behind the trees. All of her staff are very sweet and helpful. We got the inclusive package that included cake, dj, venue, and dinner. I used her dj and her florist. First, the flowers were so beautiful. She used all my inspiration pictures and made everything so easy (and so reasonably priced). She was able to figure out what I wanted with one consultation and I didn’t even see in flowers! I do have to say the dj was so nice and helpful during the reception. The only thing negative that happened was the dj did not look at my whole email which had a TON of songs and band requests to be played during the reception. I did not hear one song I had requested to be played. It was an honest mistake and I would use him again, it is just a bummer he didn’t realize until the very end. The enclosed pavilion was so beautiful for the reception. If you are considering Kemah Gardens for your big day, I would say go check it out, talk to Ciria… the pictures on the website is exactly what you see there!

We celebrated our Wedding in March after the recent renovations. Could'nt have selected any other place for our special day. Mrs. Ciria and staff were uncomparable. Everything I wanted they were able to accomodate. The sunset ceremony was my favorite part. Our guest kept talking about how beautiful this venue was. Overall, very happy. My beautiful dream wedding turned into a reality. Stop your search, this is the place to get married at!!

My experience with Kemah Gardens and the staff was phenomenal. I don’t think I have ever met “strangers” that cared so much about our special day. They paid attention to every single detail and truly delivered! Their joy, passion and love is evident in the way they do business and treat you like family. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and our wedding was PERFECT. They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of – and even threw in a few amazing, mind-blowing surprises along the way. Our wedding planning was a BREEZE thanks to them! Ciria is the most compassionate and gracious individual I have ever met! THANK YOU, KEMAH GARDENS!

I place a lot of stock in reading reviews and looked at them extensively when planning my wedding last year. My husband and I had always dreamed of a destination wedding. I am so happy now we chose to exchange our vows locally. Kemah Gardens is a gorgeous facility. The view is absolutely stunning and makes for a wonderful backdrop in photos. All of our guests were extremely comfortable during the wedding and reception and the transitions were seamless. Ciria and her team were there to answer even the silliest of questions and they encourage you to contact them any time and using any method. They were so helpful and helped create a fairy tale day. The weather (in November) was sunny and 75. Everything was absolutely perfect. I think of my wedding every single day and smile. Ciria and her team made my dreams come to life. You cannot go wrong with choosing This beautiful and immaculately maintained facility. I will recommend Kemah Gardens to everyone.

My husband and I got married at Kemah Gardens on April 18, 2015. We loved the interior of the B&B and the look of the pavilion but the thought of a wedding under the gazebo at sunset won us over. Ciria was awesome to work with. We planned our wedding in 1 month so it meant a lot to me that she was able to give recommendations on a pastor, photographer, food and the DJ. While our plan was to get married under the gazebo, the weather didn’t cooperate and excessive rain moved our ceremony to the pavilion. The pavilion is absolutely stunning by itself but with the beautiful altar that Ciria had set up and the simple decorations we brought in it was beyond perfect and romantic. The rain stopped prior to the ceremony and the sun came out as we said our vows with a huge double rainbow in the background. Ciria probably didn’t have a hand in that but if so I wouldn’t be surprised! Thank you, Ciria, for making our wedding so beautiful and stress free!

We had our wedding at Kemah Gardens about a year ago. It was an amazing experience. Ciria and her team were amazing, from being accommodating of early guests to ensuring everything went smoothly. It was truly a blessing to not have to worry about all the details. Also, the photographer did an amazing job with our photos. I would highly recommend Kemah Gardens. Thank you so much Ciria!

The entire venue was absolutely amazing. My husband and I were renewing our vows after 33 years and originally had only gone to the courthouse to get married. This time we did it the right way and it was beyond my wildest dreams of what my wedding would be like. Ciria and her staff become like family and take such a personal touch to everything that you want and need. Ciria has so much experience that you can go to her with no idea of what you want and she will make it a fairy tale dream for you. I can't say enough about how great they are at Kemah Gardens. All I can say is that if you don't use them you are missing out on a special life experience.

I cannot say enough how wonderful our wedding was at Kemah Gardens, Ciria was amazing during the whole process. We wanted to have an intimate wedding and she made it happen. The venue is unlike anything you can imagine, absolutely beautiful. Her time and attention to make everything perfect is something rare, she treated us like family. She was available anytime I needed and I can honestly say it was a perfect day because of all of her hard work. I recommend anyone to have a wedding here and you will have the best experience possible. Even after our event she has sent picture and contacted us to see how we were, and wish us congratulations again. There is something so special about the property, you will feel it immediately when you see it. Thank you again Ciria to you and everyone at Kemah Gardens.

Ciria & her team are awesome! Kemah Gardens was the perfect location for our intimate wedding, and we couldn't be happier with how our special day turned out because of Ciria's attention to detail. Our family & friends had a wonderful time too and had only rave reviews on everything from the gardens & decor, to the caterer, DJ, and her entire staff! And the newly renovated pavilion is stunning for any theme! This venue is a must see!

My wedding was 10/10/15 and Ciria with Kemah Gardens along with her staff couldn’t have made it more beautiful and memorable for not only myself, but my family and friends as well.

Although I had a long engagement, Ciria always kept in touch and enjoyed sharing with me picture updates of beautiful upgrades/renovations to the property. She truly made the entire process feel like we’d been family friends for years.

Ciria was great with communicating the week of the wedding, and ensured that everything was to my liking. I’m not sure I could’ve asked for a better person to have the day of the wedding, as she and her amazing staff did anything and everything needed to set up and ensure that guests arrived smoothly (one of her staff members even helped each of our guests with out polaroid picture guest book and made sure everyone got their pictures taken!). Even after a devastating delay (the bridal party’s fault), Ciria immediately brought me a bottle of wine (she’s THAT good haha) and calmed me down. She worked with her staff, photographer, caterer, and DJ to ensure that we were able to make up some time and still get the most out of our time there.

The night was amazing and I was getting comments ALL night (and still a week later!) on how beautiful the venue was, and what a great time they all had. It truly is as beautiful as it is in the pictures!

Along with Ciria and her staff, the food was great (Red River BBQ – duh, of course it was great), the DJ, Michael Vasquez, was the best wedding DJ I’d ever witnessed (also GREAT with communicating the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of), we got a ton of comments on how delicious and pretty the wedding cake was (Cakes By Jula), and I loved our rustic-themed centerpieces by All That Blooms.

If you’re looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding, handled by someone who truly knows what she’s doing, I don’t know why you’d go anywhere else but Kemah Gardens!

Kemah Gardens fulfilled the outdoor dream wedding venue I had always imagined. Our wedding was October 2, 2011 and it was perfect. The pond, the pavilion, the host, everything was wonderful and went very smoothly. The DJ that came with was not very good, but that was almost 4 years ago so hopefully she got another DJ. The owners of Kemah Gardens are great, friendly people who have worked hard to create a beautiful venue. Every time I watch my wedding video, which I think a on their website, I'm so glad we chose Kemah Gardens!!!!!

My now husband and I chose to have our ceremony and reception at Kemah Gardens because of the beautiful venue. We worked with Ciria for about a year or so to plan our wedding. I wouldn't change our decision for the world. We had such a memorable wedding day. The weather was absolutely perfect. A HUGE thanks for Ciria and her wonderful staff for making everything so beautiful. She was so welcoming from the beginning, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. I'd do it all over again. Thank you again, Ciria. God bless always :)

I can almost say most guys getting married normally just get the rings, sit back and let the bride do everything. Not me ! , I had fun with the whole experience working with Ciria. She made me and my bride feel so good about making the decision to get married at KEMAH GARDENS. Everything she presented to us were just what we wanted. I am so please to see my bride so happy and beautiful as she walked down the aisle. The landscape and the lake made it so gorgeous and exquisite that made our wedding a special day not to forget. I still smile every time I think about all the selfie's everyone was taking. Right there, we knew we made a brilliant decision on picking Kemah Gardens as our venue. The entire place is set up so beautiful making all our guests so amazed on how everything looks almost perfect. Thank you Ciria and your staff for making our day a very special one. Chris and Ivy Williams.

17 months before our wedding and we booked KEMAH GARDENS !!! :-)...The moment Chris and I saw this place, we know we will be getting married here on May 17,2014. The place is to die for for outside wedding. Ciria and her staff made everything possible and delightful for us. Everything she did was exactly what we wanted. Ciria went beyond our expectations. Our family and guests were all pleased and amazed how the whole place was like a paradise for us on our special day. Nothing but good remarks and compliments we heard from everyone that night. You make us very happy and proud. If Chris and I will be given the chance to do our wedding again,no questions what so ever,we will definitely do it at KEMAH GARDENS once again.Again Ciria thank you so much for everything you and your staff did for our special day.God bless, we will keep in touch :)

I just got married at Kemah Gardens this past Saturday and I absolutely loved this location, the scenery in the background, natural beauty, everything was organized. I honestly didnt understand why people stress out during weddings, because this wedding was STRESS FREE!!!!!
The staff was wonderful, they were organized, had me on track, on schedule and updated with all updates throughout the evening. They handled everything, the food, the cake, the flowers, the decorations, the minister, the clean up... its a one stop shop!

Every single one of my guests commented on how beautiful this location and organization of the entire wedding was, "beautiful" is how everyone described it. Two of my guests said they are thinking of getting married at this location.

I highly recommend Kemah Gardens, you will be 100% satisfied!

Amazing!!! We recently had our wedding at Kemah Gardens and it was absolutely perfect! We booked about 4 months prior to our planned wedding date, which is pretty short notice for most venues, but Kemah Gardens was more than happy to get us ready for our wedding. We had looked at other outdoor venues online and visited one in person but I was set on Kemah Gardens solely based on reviews and pictures. We went to check it out and were ready to sign the moment we stepped inside. We chose a smaller package and had a Friday wedding and we could not have asked for a better price for all that was included!
Ciria and her staff were very friendly and they were very helpful in suggesting decor and even allowing us to use items they had in house (cake cutter, champagne glasses) so we could save a bit more money. I really didn't feel the need to communicate too much but when I emailed, I got a response, plus she was right there texting me to remind me of important items like the minister and cake. We went with all that was included, minister (fun and sweet man), cake by Jula (turned out spectacular) and the photographer.
Wedding day came, we showed up, went to our respective rooms, had fun hanging out for a bit (we paid for a bit of extra time before the ceremony...so worth it) and I did help set up a few things that I had brought. We went over colors that day to set up and music to play and that was it, we got married with no problems whatsoever. Everyone enjoyed the venue and we got so many compliments on the location and staff.
I was not a bridezilla and I suggest you just go over colors or a few specifics and let Kemah Gardens handle it from there, you will not be disappointed!!!

We had our wedding recently at Kemah Gardens and we were 100% satisfied with our choice! Ciria was absolutely wonderful to work with, she really wants you to have the best and smoothest experience possible. The entire venue is just beautiful, we had our ceremony just before sunset, so it made for some really great pictures! With the help of the staff on hand at our wedding everything went off without a hitch! We really couldn't have asked for a better place...especially for the value!

We had our wedding at Kemah Gardens early December 2013.
It was touch and go with the weather, but fortunately we were able to have our dream outdoor site, (the rain held off for us), and then followed on under the pavilion for our reception. We couldn't of asked for a more helpful and friendlier person than Ciria. She went above and beyond to help with every detail along our 3 month planning timeline.
I highly recommend the vendors that Ciria recommended, as our guests were also extremely satisfied. I wish i could do it all over again. It was magical.
Thankyou Ciria and staff.

Top notch service and professionalism. I actually had an issue with my wedding dress not zipping, so I had to be sewn into it. Even though, we got the ceremony started 30 minutes late, Ciria and her staff were so calming and helpful. All of her vendors are excellent as well..Cakes by Jula...her florist Jeannie ...photographer, Jennifer...made this a perfect and special day. If you are looking for simple elegance, this is the place to have your wedding and reception!

My beautiful daughter and awesome son-in-law were married on June 5th. We had 5 weeks to plan a wedding due to the fact that my son-in law is in the military and had a short leave coming up. Kemah Gardens was PERFECT!! Ciria is the owner and she was so easy to work with and very accomodating to our needs. The setting for the wedding and the reception was beautiful and all of the people that work with/for Ciria are sincerely careing and professional. Even though all of our guests live in the Clearlake area none of them knew about this gorgeous estate and all that it has to offer. The flexibility of packages that you can get also made it quite easy. We opted for everything included package but did not need a couple of the options, and Ceria made it work. My daughters wedding day and my families was so relaxed with no worries because it was all taken care of by the Kemah Gardens Team! We just showed up. I highly recommend Kemah Gardens. You won't be disappointed !

I knew when planning my wedding I wanted to make the planning process as easy as possible. We decided to drive by one Sunday afternoon just to see where it was located. We didn't have an appointment, but thought we would just drive by to check it out, and then try to schedule a time to see it later in the week. As soon as we arrived, Ciria greeted us and invited us to look around. The grounds are beautiful - it is a B&B property on several acres, with deck/arch for ceremonies overlooking a pond. There is a large covered pavillion for reception areas, and everything is nicely kept and landscaped. Ciria can pretty much tailor your package to what you are looking for. We found that the All Inclusive package worked great for us. It included ceremony chairs, arch decor, use of the house for both bridal party and groomsmen to get ready, reception tables/chairs/basic linens, caterer from her list, wedding cake allowance, bartenders, security, clean-up crew, valet, use of champagne glasses/cake cutter, DJ, and probably even more things I've forgotten. This could not have been more perfect for what I was looking for! Ciria is very experienced with weddings, and her professionalism is incredible. We kept in touch many times throughout our engagement, by meeting in person, by phone calls and emails. By the time our event came around, Ciria was almost like a member of the family. She is never too busy for her clients and she will give you all of the attention you need. The wedding was beautiful - timed perfectly with the sunset thanks to Ciria's planning. She helped keep us on task and I had so many people tell me what a beautiful wedding it was thanks to her help! You will not be disappointed with Kemah Gardens and Ciria. No matter the size of the event or your budget, Ciria will be able to help you design the wedding of your dreams. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Wow. I was extremely suprise of the professionalism of the employees not to mention Ciria. My wedding was planned in 2 weeks, after looking at several places in Houston with out any luck, I decided to call Kemah Gardens, right away Ciria was able to book me, even thought she had 2 other weddings later on that day. I was extremely suprise not to mention a little hesitant knowing she was going to handle 3 weddings that day. The ceremony was so smooth, no rush at all, you could not even tell there was going to be 2 more wedding that day. I simply gave her an idea of what how I wanted the decor and she handled it from there. My 1st impresion was stunning. If was beautiful, just like I dreamed of. She even choose this amazing flower in which I feel in love with. She made my dream a reality. Ceremony was great. A simple but beautiful wedding. The house and brides room was just amazing. I felt like a queen. I felt like I new Ciria for years, that is how amazing this lady is. She will make you feel right at home. DEFINITELY AMAZING PLACE & STAFF.

The perfect scores directly reflect the type of service and professionalism Kemah Gardens gave my daughter and now, proud son in law. My daughters wedding was a long awaited stepping stone after a life filled with life threatening issues. Needless to say as the mother of the bride, I was beside myself that day, one in which we never knew if it would come or not. It was a beautiful sunset wedding with 50 in attendance (just perfect for a small, quaint gathering). Cidia took care of most of the details and what was not included in the package we chose, she provided good choices of companies that would. We had fireworks after the I DOs, a dove release upon the introduction of the new couple in memory of the brides grandmother, the first dance and tears at the daddy/daughter dance from everyone in attendance. A full meal was served, the cake cut and toasts from the best man. And to end the night, a sparkler send off.
The outside pergola was draped in white with clear lights, the chandelier was lit and crystals hung ever so perfect from the cross beams of the pergola. The interior of the home was decorated for the reception very sophisticated and glamorous which was helped by the beautiful setting of the home. Our photographer was given a heavenly backdrop, perfect for those once in a lifetime shots. The waitstaff were very helpful and accommodating to our every need. We had many compliments on the wedding but mostly how courteous our guests were treated by the staff, and just how absolutely perfect the wedding had turned out! Thank you Kemah Gardens and Cidia, you have a God given talent. Bless you and thank you for making my little girls dreams of her fairy tale wedding come true.

We had our wedding at Kemah Gardens on April 13, 2013 and as my now husband would say, it was the best day of our lives! The beauty of the grounds speak for themselves. We had a perfect day and sunset for our wedding and all of our family and friends absolutely loved the house, preparation rooms, ceremony area in front of the pond and reception space. Aside from the gorgeous outdoors, Ciria was a pleasure to do business with. Her heart is in every detail of each special day and we couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan our big day. I, the bride, am from the area, but throughout the year and a half planning process for our wedding, my husband and I have been stationed in Ohio, where he serves in the Air Force. I was afraid that because we weren't close, planning would be hard, but Ciria made it a breeze! She did so much for us and we cannot thank her enough! The food was great, DJ was AMAZING and everything came together perfectly with Ciria's dedication!

My husband and I were so pleased at how beautiful our 3:00pm, Sunday afternoon wedding was. The week and day leading up to our ceremony was rainy & wet. Ceria and Kemah Garden's were completely prepared to compensate for the unpredictable Texas winter weather. The ceremony was going to be held under the pavilion where we were to have our reception but just at the last minuite the sun began to shine and Ciria and her crew rushed to redecorate the original ceremony site under the arch. Their personal care and hard work gave my husband and I the most amazing day and experience ever. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous! Ciria took such great care of our wants and wishes and presented us with so many choices & ideas that we never felt like we had to settle. Her proven experience and good taste guided us through the wedding process with ease. The grounds and dressing areas were exceptional, offering wonderful backgrounds for pictures. Our overall experience was terrific and we would highly recommend Kemah Garden's.

Felicia my daughter was married to Erick Lallemand at Kemah Gardens and they worked wonderfully with us. Her new husband is in the Marines and we had to move there wedding date up with only 3 weeks to arrange the wedding. Ciria the wedding planner rescued us and made everything wonderful, she found a way to solve every issue including little ones that popped up during the morning of the ceremony. Thank you so much Ciria I could not have done it without you

Our Wedding was an evening ceremony and reception, Ciria and her staff were fantastic. From the moment we visited the venue Ciria was great to work with, she respond quickly, always made herself available to us, she went above and beyond to make our Wedding beautiful from the smallest to biggest details. Again she and her staff worked in the most professional manner and did it with a smile and respect. The venue itself is beautiful, well maintained. I even did my Bridal pictures there, and they are just beautiful, the grounds offer such a variety of settings. Our guests just loved Kemah Gardens, we were told many times thru the evening they couldn't remember when they had been to wedding and had so much fun and had room to move around and a place for the their children to also have fun. If you are looking for a venue that offers, professionalism, beauty, attention to detail, family matters, and passion for making your special day very memorable then Kemah Gardens is your place to be. Thank-you Ciria and your staff for a wonderful, beautiful day we will never forget.

I was so blessed to have been led and chose to have my special day with Ciria at Kemah Gardens! She always went the extra mile with help/ideas and just making all involved comfortable with our wedding day! We chose to have a small ceremony at her location at 9 AM and we were very pleased and have no regrets at all. If the evening would have been available, we would have continued with the reception. But it all worked out in the end. We also chose to upgrade the pergola with some additional twine - of which I was happy to find out that the attempt to split the cost with another bride after our ceremony agreed to. We were the first of three weddings on this day and she does amazing work!!! We both love to fish, so we even got pics as if we were fish'n in her beautiful pond stocked full of fish! We have memorable moments and plenty of beautiful pictures. Ciria truly has a passion for what she does and it is revealed in her work. We can not even thank you enough Ciria for the experience we had with your guidance. Your hand of God's spirit will always be remembered.

What a great Venue. We had such a memorable wedding. We did an evening wedding and it turned out perfect - with the fading sun and the lights coming on. Very intimate for all of us and we couldn't ask for more. Ciria is very considerate of your needs and helps in every aspect. Highly recommended!

We chose Kemah Gardens after viewing several venues in the area. Ciria the owner, was very helpful and went above and beyond expectations. The entire planning process was so much easier than I had first imagined. She helped with every step along the way. We ended up with a fairy tale wedding and an amazing reception after. I would definitely recommend Kemah Gardens.

We had our wedding here in October 2011, and it was a wonderful experience. We chose to go with the all-inclusive package, so we did not have to worry about finding our own vendors. Kemah Gardens provided almost everything that we needed for the day. We only had to find a florist and photographer, and we found them at an open house event. It made planning much easier and less stressful for me and my husband.

The location is only a few minutes from the boardwalk and worth a visit if you are interested in having your ceremony or reception outdoors. I loved the outdoor setting and had the ceremony at sunset. Ciria is very helpful with the planning process, and her and her staff go above and beyond to make sure everything is done to make your wedding day perfect. We would recommend Kemah Gardens because our wedding was beautiful and fun, and we had an amazing day.

We looked at many venues for weddings including a beautiful venue up in New Waverly but the cost at that venue was prohibitively expensive for us. We found Kemah Gardens and were delighted to find a venue that had all the amenities that the other venues offered at a great value. We were able to work closely with the owner who wanted our wedding to be exactly as we asked for including allowing us to use in stock centerpieces they had for free as well as adding our garland around the pergola on the dockside. We did pay for the upgrade to the pavilion decor but were able to split the cost with another bride which was all arranged by Kemah Gardens.

On the day of the wedding we found the site exquisitely decorated exactly as we asked. Kemah Gardens had had 4 other weddings that weekend but one would not be able to tell as it was totally clean and immaculate for us.

The bride and grooms' room were wonderful addition to their services. The groom had the entire upstairs of the house for the guys to hang out and get ready while the bride had the master suite for preparation. Both areas were delightful and made the preparation time for the wedding easy and relaxing.

The owner, Ciria, was so very accommodating. She had noticed the grandmother of the groom did not have a corsage and quickly made one from the leftover flowers from the bouquets. She also helped to coordinated the processional for the groomsman/bridesmaids and bride/father of bride. I cannot express how easy Ciria was to work with and how much she makes one feels their wedding is the most important wedding to her.

If you are looking for a outdoor venue with all the charm of a Victoria house with outdoor pond with fountain, lovely pavilion and the price that will not break the bank account, look no further. You have found it here.

I have just booked my wedding venue at Kemah Gardens. Kemah Gardens is a beautiful wedding venue. I looked at many wedding venues for options for my wedding ceremony and reception, Kemah Gardens was the prettiest and the best value for the cost. You have different options to choose from and it is a very reasonable price. The Bridal suite and groom suite are great additions to get ready in. The owner, Ciria, has been very helpful and has made this process hassle free. She took plenty of time to show us around, explain our options and answer any questions we had. She also has many great recommendations for different vendors. I look forward to Kemah Gardens making this a very special day!

I was married at Kemah Gardens in February, 2010. My daughter-in-law and I planned and catered the event ourself, we invited 50 people and had the ceremony outside. Our family took the pictures and they turned out so beautiful because of the backgrounds. There is a spray of water behind the gazebo that made the pictures look heavenly. There was a Cardinal singing during the ceremony. Ciria, the owner of Kemah Gardens, was so helpful. We spent the night with 8 other family members after the ceremony. This house is beautiful and the price is great. My family and friends were very pleased, with Kemah Gardens and it was the happiest experience of my life.

Overall we had a great experience with Kemah Gardens and the wedding turned out beautifully. The thing I appreciated most was that I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding because I knew Ciria and her staff would take care of it. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for an all inclusive option.

My husband and I got married at Kemah Gardens back in October of 2014. Ciria and her girls are very knowledgeable and helpful and took the stress out of the majority of the decision-making process!! (I still had to get the dress, right?!) They were very responsive with any questions we had, and never gave us the cold shoulder. The prices were fair and reasonable. The venue itself is gorgeous both day and night. I would definitely recommend this place for weddings under 150. Anything more than that, the place is too small. All of our guests had a good time and I had no complaints.

I got married back in April of 2014 at Kemah Gardens. I cannot express enough how perfect this venue is! The landscape, pond, fountain, and arbor make for truly beautiful photos. The house is great to get ready in. Bridal suite, big bathroom with plenty of mirrors, and the entire upstairs just for the groom and his guys. The pavilion is great backup plan if it rains (which Ciria has great mojo to prevent it from raining on wedding!). I am so happy we picked Kemah Gardens as the place to say I do!

I started planning my wedding the second my husband proposed, and when I saw Randy Fenoli was going to be at the Bridal Extravaganza in January, I knew I should look for wedding venues also. We work pipeline so we travel all the time so trying to plan a wedding on the road is very difficult. I was looking online at all the different venues who were attending and immediately Kemah Gardens stood out. I loved the down home feel. I loved the pond. I loved everything about it! We made an appointment to visit the venue in February to take a look and as soon as we pulled in I fell in love. We talked with Ciria and chose the all inclusive package since I wasn't sure where our next job would take us. I had a tasting with Kings BBQ & Cakes by Jula that same day and called to tell Ciria that I chose her venders.
We were sent to Oklahoma and I was searching for ideas all over Pinterest and Facebook. Well we got laid off and sent to Odessa, had an accident pulling our 5th wheel and had the transmission go out on the truck and our finances really took a hit, Ciria worked with us and was so understanding.
In July my Mother in Law suddenly passed away and I asked to change the flowers I had chosen to her favorite flower and a couple other main changes which she was so understanding. I sent pictures of the decor I chose from the centerpieces to my bouquet. All I had to show up and everything was absolutely PERFECT!!! I could not have done everything the way Ciria and her staff did! My wedding day was beautiful and I wouldn't have changed a thing. I am forever grateful to her and her staff for making my dreams come true!!<3

Extremely nice location. The venue was beautiful inside and out. The staff generously set up the ceremony site with the flowers and chairs including decorations while the wedding party got dressed and ready for the event. We provided the music but they executed it for the ceremony perfectly making sure that it all flowed together and could be heard by everyone. The location is perfect for pictures that you will be treasuring for years. The bride and groom areas were perfect for photos and comfort. I would highly encourge all brides in the area no matter the size of the wedding to check out this venue.

I got married this past June at Kemah Gardens. The wedding was amazing and I loved the scenery, especially since we had an evening wedding we got to use lights on the trees which were really pretty and elegant looking. Ciria, the owner, was very helpful with anything we needed. One thing I loved about Kemah Gardens was the fact that we could pick and choose what other venders we wanted as far as the music, catering, flowers, etc. and that can be very helpful when you are on a budget. I wanted a simple wedding and that is exactly what we got at the price we wanted and it was still gorgeous! We also used the house to get ready that afternoon, the girls were down in the bridal suite, which is plenty big, and the guys stayed upstairs enjoying their alcohol! Not once did we have an issue of seeing each other before it started. We also used the valet service they offer and that was apparently a big hit. Everyone commented on how easy and helpful they were. Overall, I rate my wedding at Kemah Gardens a 10, I couldn’t have had a better day, except maybe if it weren’t so hot but that’s what I get for picking a mid June wedding!

I am writing a review before the actual reception. Up to this point Ciria has been excellent. My situation has required a tremendous amount of flexibility and patience. If nothing else, I highly recommend her and Kemah Gardens for this alone.

This venue is a hidden gem very close to Kemah Boardwalk! The value is excellent compared to other venues in Houston. We wanted an all-inclusive venue and this was it, no hidden fees or taxes. I decided to use my own photographer but they have an in-house photographer as well (not included in the all inclusive price).
They are very flexible and will make arrangements to give you exactly what you want. I am very pleased with the service we received from Kemah Gardens.

Me and my husband really enjoyed this venue. We looked many places and this place just felt perfect. We loved how our guest had the option of indoors and outdoors. The scenery was beautiful. The owner/ wedding day coordinater Ceria was wonderful. She's so nice and helpful. The food and decorations were really good. The only complaint I had was that DJ was not good, kind of annoying half the time. He went against what I told him I did not want at my reception. He did not play much of the music I requested. Besides him, the wedding and reception was exactly how I imagined it.

Beautiful place to have a wedding! Ciria, the owner, is very helping with planning and suggestions. We had a few issues throughout the planning process in regards to the proposal/contract, where I felt there needed to be more clarity and flexibility, although in all honesty, we were given the option to purchase an all-inclusive package or individualize, which we chose to individualize. It would have been better to go with the all-inclusive option. The Bridal suite and the Grooms Suite are excellent amenities--it gives you privacy to get ready, and a place to hang out, have snacks/drinks, and have fun!, making beautiful memories! And we were allowed to have our own hairdresser, Kristin for Kemah, come to do hair in the bridal Suite. The inside living/kitchen area is a great place to have the cake/punch reception indoors, and allows for people to have a place to come in to get out of the heat, on a hot August day! And the outdoor grounds and back deck, with pagoda and pond with fountain in the background, and beautiful sunset make for a beautiful ceremony site! The new covered pavillion is a wonderful idea in case of rain or to have a dinner/reception--much cooler under there! Also makes for a perfect place for dancing!, nicely decorated with lights and greenery! We had a caterer provide BBQ, a D.J, and a bar! We had a blast! Thanks Ciria!

First things first, the property is striking. Gorgeous! If you are looking for a mostly all inclusive, no hassle, stress free wedding of your dreams...this is it! I say mostly because you have the flexibility with this venue to have them arrange things for you or choose DIY options. Ciria is great, she has a true passion for what she does and it shows. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was and how much of a blast they had. Also a big Texas bonus is that they recently enclosed the pavilion and it is air conditioned...so, if it pours down rain, you have the option to hold the ceremony there! Or in the house if you have a smaller group. Loved it!

My daughter was married at Kemah Gardens on March 16, 2013. The event was amazing and there were no glitches at all. Ciria and her staff did a most wonderful job and the ceremony site and pavilion were beautifully decorated. The bride and groom's rooms to dress were outstanding and had so much room to move around and have family and friends in there to help. This whole experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend Kemah Gardens to anyone who is in the planning stages of getting married or having a special event coming up. Ciria was always ready to answer any questions we had leading up to the big day. She and her staff were wonderful. Thanks, Ciria!

Overall we had a great time at Kemah Gardens. The staff helped my husband and me a lot to the wedding colors, sashes, flowers, decorations, ceremony order, catering service suggestions and cake designers. Ciria was very attentive to us and she thoughtfully filled all of our needs. On the day of the wedding, it is predictable that not everything is going to go according to plan, but Ciria was flexible and helped us make the day flow seamlessly and everything worked out just fine. We really enjoyed our experience at Kemah Gardens. It is a beautiful outdoor venue with a lot of greenery that survived even the worst year of a Texas drought. All of our guests complimented the venue and felt very relaxed and at home. We had planned for 100 people and actually had 75 but the venue was just the perfect size for our families.

For those planning future weddings, our "lesson learned" or bit of advice would be to warn you if you choose the all-inclusive package, be aware that the DJ in that package is the bottom of the barrel. Her name is Shawna. She was overcommitted to other jobs and apparently lacked any organizational abilities. Consequently, she irresponsibly delegated her work to be done by inadequate people and if it wasn't for my husband bringing all of our wedding songs on a USB drive, we would not have even had our own ceremony music or first dance music. Otherwise, as long as you communicate your needs to Kemah Gardens and pay a little more for the DJ, you should be covered. All you have to do is take a look at the sample pictures on the website and you'll be convinced that each wedding comes out picture perfect for the wedding album. We highly recommend this venue to you.

Quaint and romantic venue made for a beautiful wedding

Garden ceremony by the huge pond against the sun setting backdrop was romantic & beautiful. Inside the reception bidg w/it's wooden ceiling made for a perfect woodland/enchanted theme. Staff were very professional, polite & attentive. The all-inclusive package was great because we didn't have to hunt down and research the vendors; Ciria and her network put together worked well to provide us a beautiful wedding day (caterer, cake, bar tender, set-up, tear-down and most specially the DJ (Dean B.) she provided did an amazing job. We received so much compliments (about the whole wedding from the ceremony to the reception) and how everything was nicely put together. We highly recommend Kemah Gardens to couples looking for a quaint and romantic venue.

When I saw Kemah Garden in my first visit, I knew it was what I was looking for. I love the garden setting, it is so beautiful. Given the fact that it had actually been a residential house before they converted it to a wedding venue, it gave you feeling of home. It likes you have a wedding in your backyard. The garden facing West with a small pond/lake is perfect for ceremony in sunset. And it is very convenient with the pavilion right on the side for reception.
I had my wedding on October 18 2015. It was a very good memory. Everyone gave me compliments on all the pictures. Ciria and her team were very helpful during preparation process. I ordered food and cake from her suggestion venders and they were great. My husband especially liked DJ Dean for his enthusiasm. You know when you see people who do what they passionate about. They take pride in their work and try their best for perfection and customer satisfaction.
I highly recommend Kemah Garden as a wedding venue. Most people do not have any experience when it comes to wedding. Their team can help you through the process and make it simple, less stressful so you can enjoy your important day.

Ceremony was absolutely beautiful. By far one of the best venues in the Houston area if you are looking for an outdoor wedding. We were very satisfied with the service that Ciria provided us with. She was very flexible with the wedding package as far as things we did and didn't want. Ceremony went very smoothly and she was there every step of the way. Would definitely recommend her and the venue to friends.

Beautiful Venue

This venue is beautiful and the staff is amazing and so helpful! Lisa gave us a tour last summer and was so patient while we looked around. Ciria has been amazingly helpful in all our planning. The only reason I didn't give it an Excellent mark just yet is because my daughter's wedding isn't until November 2022 but if this rating is based on how well they've done so far I would say EXCELLENT! I feel confident that my daughter's wedding will run smoothly with them in charge. Will post another review with pics after the wedding! 6 more months!

Beautiful venue BAD service!

I'm not sure where to start. I'll start here.....This venue is GORGEOUS! Recommended caterer and baker were SUPER YUMMY!!!!!
The service for the venue on the other hand.... well... let just say there is a LITANY of items I could list that went poorly from after the initial consultation to even after the event day. The event was a wedding day with over 170 people in attendance.

The final totals took MONTHS to receive even after we expressed our desire to pay final total up front in full. Multiple apologies with EVERY communication. Compared to ALL other people who have had an event with this venue. Questioning requests (like why do you need a receipt for the save the date payment). We were put after personal schedules as well as consultations and other events and were TOLD so in the numerous texts and emails. Requests were often confused and misunderstood. Tastings were not scheduled appropriately. Rarely read the full text/email that was sent and responded in a way proving she didn't fully read it. For example, we told her we were not both available for a phone call that day and she asked if that day would work!! Sent important emails to the wrong email addresses. We had to remind her on multiple occasions for documents and items we had requested and were waiting on. Made requests for phone conversations with both of us to be there in the mornings knowing we both have full-time jobs. Repeated reminders that some items would be finalized at the appt 2 weeks before the wedding. Just over 2 weeks prior to our event she told us she was going out of town!! She ended up not going out of town and asked us on a Thursday if we could be available on that Saturday! We were not so we did a phone appt. Told us she would give us an extra hour to practice on the day of our event (ALL appointments had been made at that point and are not changeable without fees). Since they do not do rehearsals on Fridays (!!!) we had to do the rehearsal on Thursday without our officiant as he had not flown in yet. Promised to have the reception hall set up for us on Thursday for our viewing at the rehearsal (Basically saying she had no event on Friday but we could still not do the rehearsal Friday). the DAY OF the rehearsal asked if we could change the time again for her husband's last minute back surgery!!! Sent ETA's each time we were to have an in person appointment only to be held at the gate and told to wait. The DAY BEFORE our HUGE event she informed us she had broken some of our chosen decor. I was adamant that no white be in the event and because of this mishap she had to use white linens on 3 of our 17 tables and different color chargers making it look very disorganized. She does not do Virtual appointments! After Covid?!
DAY OF EVENT!
The bridal sweet had WHITE DOG HAIR ALL OVER IT! Hadn't been cleaned for some time. I had a black train and the boys had BLACK tuxedoes! White dog hair ALL over my wedding dress and my 8 year old boy's tuxedo! We were told that guests would be sent to the reception hall and called out about 10 minutes prior to the event. They were ALL seated and could see IN THE BRIDAL SWEET as I was getting dressed and ready!!!!! Because of this our first look was done in the bridal sweet because there was no way to get out of the building without being seen by guests!! The start time was delayed after WE, the clients, requested to just begin on time. Salads and rolls were out when guests arrived at the reception hall. Some confused guests used the chargers to get salads and were "yelled at rudely" (guest feedback) that dinner service had not started yet. An announcement was made as food service started that if you got a salad serving already you were not allowed to get another one. Food service was delayed and we were lied to by a staff member that we were waiting for the food to be heated and then told by her that the food comes hot. NO communication with the staff regarding our Gluten Free and Vegetarian options, guests were told we did not have them, WE DID!!! Gluten free desserts were not marked by the baker and the staff asked US where they were and made no attempt to contact the baker to ask if they were delivered. Our timeline was not followed but it was demanded that it be completed prior to event. This put stress on us and we forgot to take sunset pictures which is the WHOLE reason we chose the time of our event! It may seem petty but her attire was not only unflattering for her body type but unprofessional as well. She is in pictures and videos of our first dance because she was standing behind the food service tables well after food service was complete alone on her phone on the opposite side of all of our guests taking pictures and videoing as well my entrance knowing full well where people were sitting and where the focus would be because she was 'fluffing' my small sweep train to get the white dog hair off of my black train. The owner served food and guests complained that she was course and even rude to them. I feel as if it was a very disorganized event. She sent a video of our first dance from her point of view and informed us she will be taking a pain pill as her hip hurt from the event. When confronted about the start time of the dinner she sent screenshots and argued with us about it.

While all of our guests were unbothered by most of these things and had a WONDERFUL time at this BEAUTIFUL venue that had DELICIOUS food and dessert recommendations, WE as the clients were NOT unbothered! I would say at the VERY least this is a completely unprofessional entity and I feel the owner and operator seems entitled and lacks communication skills enough to have a thriving business after the departure of one of her most trusted staff members (who is clearly sorely missed!)

If you don't mind the list of items that I have written in this novel then by all means have your event here. It really is GORGEOUS and the sunset pics that some of our guests got were STUNNING!
