We planned our Galveston wedding from Indiana, an endeavor that could have ended in tragedy. The person in charge of event rentals for our venue recommended Bob and his team and they did an amazing job. The room looked wonderful (they supplied our linens and table settings) and nobody could stop raving about how great the food was. Carriage Caterers' staff was friendly and attentive, especially the bartender, Paula. The only complaint I had was that some non-traditional parts of our wedding (we had pies instead of cake, we did our own flowers) were met with a few raised eyebrows. However, Bob was very good at working with us and helping us throw a wonderful party on a budget.

Oscar Torres did the music for our wedding reception and it was DEFINITELY a hit. Overtime Productions quoted us an extremely reasonable price for 4 hours of music plus karaoke. I HIGHLY recommend karaoke, especially for the later evening as the reception wears on. Our wedding was totally dinner and a show and people are still telling me how much fun they had at our wedding.

The Ashton Villa is not only lovely, but has an extremely helpful staff. Vicki Amundsen was endlessly helpful in not only booking our venue, but helping us find other vendors (especially important since we planned our wedding from 1000 miles away.) The Villa has a beautiful ballroom and gardens, and you are allowed to set up for your event throughout the day in addition to the time booked for the event. For a couple like us who wanted to get married and have the reception at the same location, this was ideal. The venue has parking off street as well.

One small downside, it is right next door to the Salvation Army, and as such the homeless tend to congregate during the day on the side lawn outside the fence to the Harris Garden. A few members of my wedding party were concerned about this, but we had no problems. Be aware, the Galveston Historical Society requires security for all events or you forfeit your security deposit.
