I can't say enough about the Kristina and her staff at the Magnolia Hotel. From our initial meeting in the proces of choosing the venue to midnight and the closing of the bar on the night of the reception, the staff did everything possible to make the event a success. Many of our guests have commented on what a great party it was and how much they enjoyed the venue and the food. We never had any issues that Kristina didn't imediately address and remedy. As the mother of the bride I must say I would highly recommend it as a wedding venue.

I had my wedding at the Magnolia Hotel in Houston, Texas. My experience with this venue was exceptional! Kristina Bontrager, catering manager, was absolutely amazing. She made the whole experience run so smoothly. Kristina was responsive to emails and last minute requests, and was even able to offer me more budget friendly options for my special day.

I would definitely recommend the Magnolia Hotel as a wedding venue. The lounge where we had our reception was perfect!

Kristina Bontrager and the rest of the staff at The Magnolia Hotel were just wonderful beyond words! They helped my vision for my special day come true and it was a magical evening. The ceremony and reception spaces were beautiful and the staff was amazing! I would recommend this as a venue for any occasion.

The Magnolia Hotel was such a fabulous place to have our wedding. We worked directly with Kristina Bontrager, the Social Catering Manager, who was the most amazing person to work with. She is so detail oriented and communicative during the whole 7-month planning process. I considered myself pretty organized until I began working with her.

Our wedding ceremony and reception took place on the 2nd floor lounge area. The whole area was converted beautifully, and our guests were completely impressed by the staff's professionalism and aesthetics of the hotel. Everything ran so smoothly with Kristina overseeing the whole wedding.

The guests enjoyed not having to travel after the wedding and went straight to their luxurious rooms to relax. They also enjoyed complimentary breakfast the following morning. My husband and I enjoyed our complimentary suite on the night of our wedding.

Kristina and her staff were truly wonderful to work with. They have made our wedding come true in more than what we imagined.

I had my reception at the Magnolia Hotel in Houston and Kristina Bontrager did an amazing job. Everything was seamless and the night went exactly how I could have hoped for. She was very responsive with any questions I had throughout the process (which there were quite a few) and was great with advice. I would HIGHLY recommend using this venue. They made it very easy for everyone involved in the planning process.

Kristina Bontrager did an absolutely amazing job with my reception and making sure everything ran smoothly. Everything went exactly as planned and how I had hoped. She was also so helpful and responsive to all my questions and helping with advice when it was something they would not be able to provide. The room was stunning, the service was perfect. Couldn't be happier with the venue. I HIGHLY recommend.

The Magnolia Hotel was AMAZING! After learning 7 weeks before our wedding that our previous wedding reception venue double-booked us, we contacted The Magnolia Hotel and they actually had our date available. They were extremely accommodating, provided top-notch service and the food was outstanding. The level of service is truly unparralleled in the industry and we were continually impressed by their professionalism. They truly made our wedding day perfect! We can't thank them enough!

If you're looking for a place where you can create a feeling of sumptuous luxury without breaking the bank, you couldn't find a better place than the Magnolia! We just had our wedding ceremony and reception at this wonderful hotel. We had about 155 guests for our ceremony followed by a lovely buffet dinner in the club - we used very minimal decoration to add our own style to an already lovely space! The social catering manager there, Kristina, is a phenomenal woman who not only held our hands as needed through the planning phase, but she was right by my side on my wedding day and throughout the reception, from getting the guest book I forgot in my suite to fixing my updo as it fell apart during the reception. Every single member of the staff was wonderfully helpful and the service was always prompt and friendly, no matter the size of the request. Our entire family commented on how wonderful their experiences had been for the whole wedding weekend - this hotel and its staff truly helped us have the wedding of our dreams. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the great quality. The bar packages were also fairly priced and the bartending staff were excellent! My new husband and I are so grateful to the hotel for all that they did and we look forward to celebrating our anniversaries back at the place that started it all!

Kristina and her team were AWESOME! I had several changes before the big day and she was there every step of the way. Everything I requested, I received. Kristina was very attentive, knowledgeable, and FUN to work with!

Thanks for an AWESOME experience!

We used the Magnolia Hotel as the hotel for our out of town guests, the location for my husband and I to get ready, and where my husband and I spent our wedding night, and it was perfect. The rate was good for a downtown hotel, and it was so easy to set up the block of rooms for our guests. The suites were the perfect size for getting ready, and the hotel is so stylish that it was a good backdrop for pictures. We even went to the roof for pictures of my husband and me; I can't wait to see them! The free breakfast was delicious, and there were a lot of options. The hotel wanted to charge us for distributing gift bags to our guests, but they waived the fee when we questioned them about it because we had so many rooms booked in our party. The whole staff was really friendly and helpful.

It was a beautiful venue. I received many positive feedbacks from my guests regarding the food. Natalie was extremely responsive to my questions and emails.

The wedding was perfect!

We absolutely loved the Magnolia Hotel. The staff was fabulous and our social catering manager, Natalie Monk, was wonderful. Our guests had a wonderful time and those who stayed at the hotel loved the complimentary breakfast, and cookies and milk at bedtime. The Magnolia Hotel is the perfect venue for a wedding!

I was so pleased with my reception! Everything went so smoothly, and the service throughout the entire planning process was exceptional. Natalie did a great job of communicating with me and asking the right questions to be able to coordinate the reception, vendors, band, etc. She was very responsive and answered all of my questions in a timely manner.

Aside from the logistics and all of the planning, the venue, food, and service were excellent. The hotel is gorgeous and a fabulous backdrop for an event. I shot my bridal portraits there as well with no additional charge, and Natalie made sure that I had a room to get ready in beforehand.

The room block was very reasonable, and many of the guests commented on how much they absolutely loved staying there. All in all the whole weekend was a success thanks to all of the hard work and planning put forth by a talented wedding coordinator and staff. I would definitely recommend this to any bride!

The Magnolia Hotel Houston was the perfect location for our daughter's reception. Many of our out of town guests as well as ourselves stayed at the hotel making everything so much easier. The hotel staff was very professional and attentive and the food was fantastic. Many of our guests commented on the delicious meal. I would definitely recommend Magnolia Hotel Houston for a reception.

We arranged for a wedding block at the Magnolia Hotel for my sister's wedding earlier this month and could not have been happier with our level of service. We worked with Natalie Monk and were treated as if we were Ms. Monk's only client. The rates offered by the hotel were incredibly reasonable given the quality of the amenities. Our guests enjoyed their stay and the bride and groom couldn't have been happier. The definitely recommend splurging on the Presidential Suite. The room is enormous and was the perfect place for family and friends to gather before and after the wedding.

We had booked the Magnolia Hotel - club/lounge level - in 2009 for our September 2011 wedding. Natalie Monk, the social catering manager, is very responsive and attentive to all the details. She made the reception portion of the wedding flow seemlessly. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Natalie. The staff at the Magnolia Hotel was helpful in every manner. We were able to stay within our budget for the reception by asking for Natalie's professional help in deciding on the open bar and passed appetizers. We were able to satisfy our appetites with a combination of Vietnamese and American food over three courses for our wedding. The chef prepared the Vietnamese dishes to appeal to everyone's taste buds. We are very happy with the service, attention to detail, and professionalism of the staff at the Magnolia Hotel.
