    Amazing Wedding Venue and Staff

    We had our wedding reception at the Magnolia Hotel in Houston, Texas and our experience was absolutely amazing from the first meeting through the event execution! Kiana and her staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch and the food was also superb.

    Above and beyond

    Andy was so incredibly amazing throughout our planning process. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and happy. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. He exceeded every single expectation and we couldn’t have done it without him. He brought our dreams to life and eased my anxiety and worries throughout the process. The hotel staff was amazing. Francisco was also super easy to work with. There are no words to show our appreciation except thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our most important day perfect.

    Excellent!

    Wow, just wow! From our first walkthrough of Magnolia Hotel Houston, the customer service was excellent. All staff members were warm, welcoming and inviting. We knew this was the perfect location for our wedding. Fast forward a few months and the global pandemic hit. We really struggled with the idea of a massive downsize, but Magnolia Hotel was on the exact same page as us. The staff was truly outstanding for their accommodations and support. We had a significant downsize from our original wedding plan, but Andy and his team were phenomenal.

    The food was AMAZING. Our guests could not believe that the food was from Magnolia Hotel. Everyone thought we catered from a Middle Eastern restaurant, but Chef Antonio outdid himself. The Mediterranean buffet was absolutely delicious! So many of our guests went for seconds, and a few of them asked to take food home with them!

    If you are planning an event, big or small, I highly recommend holding your event at Magnolia Hotel! You will not be disappointed!

    Absolutely Perfect

    I saw Magnolia Hotel in a wedding magazine and called the hotel because my daughter was getting married. I talked to Kiana on the phone, and she set up a walk through of the venue. From that phone call, I knew Magnolia Hotel had great hospitality.

    Magnolia Hotel is the best place to have an event! My daughter had her wedding ceremony and reception at Magnolia Hotel, and we loved everything about it. The service was the absolute best!

    Andy did an excellent job. He worked very close with me and my daughter to make this the safest wedding possible in a pandemic. He is so friendly and has the best customer service. Everything we asked for, Andy worked with us to make sure it happened! His team is amazing too. Francisco was so nice and friendly. He helped make sure the vision came to life.

    Chef Antonio is a top chef in Houston! Every single dish on the buffet looked like a piece of art. It was beautiful and tasted delicious. Chef helped me with the Persian Wedding Ceremony, and I really want to thank him for his hard work.

    As the Mother of the Bride, I highly recommend Magnolia Hotel. Everything was perfect!

    Accommodating and Professional Service at Elegant and Cozy Venue

    We were very pleased with our wedding reception at The Magnolia. Kiana and her team did a wonderful job of keeping everything on time and running smoothly despite a delay with our ceremony at another location. The food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments on the meals. We loved the elegant and cozy feel of the Lounge, and especially appreciated having an extra room - the Library - for our large group of children to relax and play in as well as all of the accommodations of the hotel from complimentary decor to a complimentary two night stay in a suite which was perfect for me and my bridal party to get ready in. Thank you, Kiana!

    The Magnolia Hotel's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Natalie! It was such a pleasure to be a part of you and Jerrell's special day! Wishing you two every happiness together!

    All the best,
    Kiana

    Kiana made it all happen, she is great in what she does and so easy to work with. She is very professional, responsive and flexible. I am so glad got a chance to meet her briefly. After the reception we were pleasantly surprised when we got back to our suite, petal flowers everywhere leading to our bed, chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne were all amazing.
    Thank you so much Kiana, Theresa and the rest of the Magnolia team for making our wedding reception a success.

    The Magnolia Hotel's reply:

    Hi Shirrie!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! You were absolutely wonderful to work with and I am so glad we made your day everything you hoped for!

    Thank you again,
    Kiana and The Magnolia Team!

    We had our wedding reception at the Magnolia Hotel and it was nothing less than perfect. Kiana did an incredible job working with us through the entire process. She was so helpful and friendly and we cannot thank her enough for going above and beyond. Everything ran smoothly, from the delicious dinner to the send off. The amount of compliments from family and friends about our wedding venue was overwhelming. We would definitely highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you so much to Kiana and the Magnolia Team! Because of them we now have wonderful memories that will last us a lifetime.

    The Magnolia Hotel in downtown Houston was the perfect place for my wedding reception. I loved having it at this beautiful hotel without it feeling like a traditional hotel ballroom wedding. We utilized the entire second floor lounge for our wedding and it was completely transformed to be everything we ever dreamed of. The food was absolutely AMAZING!! and the bartenders were great especially since we had a large wedding with an open bar! Kiana and her team made the night truly rememberable and I cannot thank her enough for everything that she did for us leading us to the wedding and during the reception. And to put icing on the cake, we had chocolate covered strawberries, rose petals, and champagne waiting in our suite after the reception. It was the perfect way to end an amazing evening!

    From the moment I toured the Magnolia Hotel and met with Lauren I knew I had to have my wedding there! The venue is gorgeous and the staff is professional. Lauren went above and beyond from start to finish for me. I could go on and on about the amazing experience I had. Thanks to the beautiful Magnolia Hotel, Lauren and all the staff I was able to make my dream wedding a reality! If you are looking for the perfect spot I highly recommend the Magnolia Hotel.

    The Magnolia Hotel was amazing. Lauren, the venue coordinator, was helpful, responsive, and reliable. I really felt as though she eliminated a lot of the wedding planning stress for me.

    I highly recommend this venue!

    I had my reception at the Magnolia in the 2nd floor lounge and it was beautiful. From the very beginning, Lauren was extremely helpful. She not only made sure we got the wedding date we needed, but helped us in every step of the process from booking rooms to choosing food to making sure we were contacting the right people. She even helped with vendor suggestions. I was worried about parking for the weekend of, but the valet and the front desk were very willing to work with us. There was even another event happening the same night as the wedding, but I felt like they were focused on me completely.

    We held our reception at the Magnolia this weekend and I cannot thank them enough for everything! We worked with Lauren and she is amazing. She is so organized, detail oriented and incredibly easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. We loved the layout, the service and all of the food was delicious! Everyone at the Magnolia did a fantastic job, we cannot wait to celebrate there again soon. Thank you!

    Lauren Miller, Social Catering Sales Manager, was very easy to work with, and made wedding planning as stress-free as can possibly be from her end. Her staff, Miguel and Gloriela, did a fantastic job during the reception. The space was the perfect size for our guest count of 148, which is not a small number, but still felt intimate. The food was good, especially the root beer braised short ribs.

    The Magnolia Hotel was everything I wanted and more for my wedding. The venue was gorgeous and the food was AMAZING!! My guests all raved about it. Lauren was awesome dealing with and talking to. She was very patient with me and thousand questions. The Magnolia Hotel was very accommodating with our changes and concerns. We were also very fortunate to stay overnight in one of the hotels suites. The room was gorgeous and was very spacious with enough room for me and family to get ready in. I will recommend this hotel to everyone that I know who is getting married.

    We stayed here during the build up to our Wedding and also on the Wedding night. Many of my family were over from Europe and stayed the week at this hotel. It was great value and the service and ammenities were all excellent. Really nice breakfast and helpful and friendly staff. We ended up getting our room upgraded which was really nice and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again!

    I can't think of a better place to have had our reception. Both Kristina (our initial coordinator that we signed all contracts with) and Lauren who took over our wedding midway through the planning were attentive and responsive to all emails and requests. Lauren went above and beyond the day of, with a sprained ankle, to make sure I was comfortable and happy from the moment we stepped onto the floor the morning of to start our hair and make up. The Magnolia's ballrooms are beautiful on their own and easily transformed into something magnificent with whatever you decide to put into decorations.

    Such an easy vendor to work with and a great impression made on our out of town guests. The views are phenomenal, especially from the pool. And it has a distinguished feel different than many of the other major hotels located in downtown. Would definitely recommend this as hotel accommodations for any wedding.

    The Magnolia Hotel in Houston offered excellent hotel service to our wedding guests and to us. We contacted them about blocking rooms for our wedding party and had wonderful service from the very beginning. The price was exceptional as was the quality of the rooms and hotel itself.

    Lauren Miller and her team at the Magnolia were the absolute best. My wife and I could not have worked a more professional, courteous, and accommodating group of professionals. We had our ceremony and reception at the Magnolia and it was top-notice. Not to mention it is a beautiful venue. I highly recommend working with Lauren, she is the best.

    I had my wedding ceremony and rehearsal dinner at The Magnolia Hotel. It was perfect! Lauren Miller was fantastic to deal with. I was able to plan pretty much everything via email which saved me the stress of having to miss work. Lauren made everything easy and I was impressed with her professionalism and flexibility. Although she's not technically a wedding coordinator, she made everything go smoothly and addressed all of my concerns so I would not have to worry about a thing. The food at the rehearsal dinner was fantastic and my guests that stayed at the hotel are still talking about how nice it was. The rooms were great, the complimentary happy hour, milk and cookies, and breakfast were all exceptional. Thank you so much for making my day so easy and enjoyable!

    We stayed at the Magnolia Hotel for our weekend of wedding festivities. We chose this as our hotel for out-of-town guests, for bridal party accommodations to get ready the day-of and for having the Bridal Luncheon the day before.

    The staff at the Magnolia was amazing, from booking the event, blocking rooms, dealing with reservations and the weekend of the stay. They gave us our own webpage to track RSVP's for rooms, which was such a help in preparing. They handed out gifts to our guests as they checked in and during our stay, one guy even went and found me a box full of safety pins as we were leaving for the church.

    The only thing that happened was it took 45 minutes to get valet to bring the car down for the bride to get to the church...but it was super busy that afternoon. We called ahead from our room, but it still took a very long time. Valet was not a problem any other time or for any other guests during our stay!

    Thank you Magnolia Hotel! The Martin-Newtons
