Couldn’t have asked for better!!

The staff at Aristide made our wedding planning so easy! Through this venue we were able to book packages that included vendors for our bakery, dj, stationary needs (invitations and signs), flowers, and even a luxury car exit! Each vendor reached out personally to us and helped make our visions come to life. Sydnee took care of us as our event coordinator and was so accommodating the entire time. She helped with all of our questions and was always quick with responding to our emails or text messages.
Our day of coordinator, Kiana helped make the day run so smoothly which we really appreciated. As I was getting ready, I didn’t have to worry about any of the vendors, decorations, or timing because of how well organized she was and it brought so much relief on a day that is usually hectic.
Lastly, but certainly not least, our DJ Aiden was really the star of the show for us and our guests! We got paired up with Aiden through the venue because of his vibe and he provided such a great energy! We got to have a meeting with him about specific songs we wanted and cues and he nailed everything we were looking for from my entrance into the ceremony to the very last song with our guests. He got everyone on the dance floor, it was never empty the entire night. We can’t thank this amazing staff enough!!

Kait was Incredible!

Thank you so much to Kait for going above and beyond to make our day special. She is highly detailed and organized. She has been incredibly supportive and responsive. She is so friendly yet professional and has calmed all my nerves and worries for the big day. She has done so many things that have made our day more special! Highly recommend. Thank you Kait and the Aristide team for making our wedding day possible.

Beautiful Venue

When I started to look for a venue, this venue came first in my mind because I attended a wedding there. So, when I called Calla Hamlin responded and was at my services 100%. She was punctual at our appointment, responded to emails and was so professional. Though we ended with a different venue, we appreciate her services.

Amazing experience!

My time touring Aristide Mckinney venue was amazing. I toured with Laura Baker and she is very professional and made me feel so at home. Laura explained everything so clearly and was willing to work with my fiancé and I to make our dream day come true. Laura is very quick at responding and very flexible on making time for the person that is touring. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Aristide and am excited to get married here.

Thank you Walters!

We are so happy we went with Walters! Having vetted vendors already included in their packages was a huge relief with planning. Our coordinator Emily has been absolutely fantastic with every detail. No question was too small, and she always responded in a very timely manner. She understood how important every aspect was to us and treated our wedding as if it were her own (THANK YOU EMILY!) So far, every vendor has been professional, communicative, and kind. The whole team has done their best to alleviate stress and make sure our day is exactly what we envisioned. I trust that they will make our wedding the best day of our lives. Thank you so much!

Great, easy wedding planning experience

I would highly recommend Walter Weddings plan your event/wedding! We get married in a couple weeks and the process has been so stress-free. We picked this venue because of the All-Inclusive packaging offers and not having to shop around for all our vendors and have been so happy with the services included. Emily our wedding planner has been absolutely FABULOUS, helping me navigate all the decisions from start to finish. All the vendors we used through them (florals, bakery, catering, Suits, photography) have been very easy to work with and I’m really excited to see the finished product in a few weeks. Would highly recommend booking with Walter Weddings if you want an easy wedding planning process!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
