Most amazing place in houston to host a wedding

Mind Blowing. True castle hidden in heart of Houston. Place for a Royal Prince and Princess to wed. From start to finish, Sarah and her staff went all out. They were very accommodating and flexible. For what they offer in the venue, the price is a steal. Worth every penny and more. They made my daughter's wedding a truly Royal experience. Our food restrictions were strict ( no eggs, garlic or onions ) and their master chef went all out and the food was AMAZING!!! For me and my family, this is the only venue we will ever use in our life for any event that we are hosting. LOVE YOU GUYS FOR WHAT YOU DID!!!! THANKING YOU WITH A HUMBLE HEART, Dipak Bhatt

The best venue in houston

WOW. So many great things to say about Citadel and the staff. Our wedding was a month ago and everything was fantastic! With everything going on with COVID we were very nervous as the wedding got closer, but Rebecca was always just a phone call or text away. She helped guide us through everything and was very accommodating the entire time. Not to mention that the food was amazing and the venue itself is BEAUTIFUL. If you are getting married in Houston, this is the place to do it! Highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Amazing wedding thanks to Citadel

Despite our plans being slightly derailed due to the coronavirus we had the most magical wedding day... and we can thank the Citadel! What an incredibly beautiful space for a wedding. The beauty of the ballroom itself speaks for itself. The coordinator and staff were amazing at dealing with all of our last-minute adjustments, and my guests had nothing but great things to say. The day ran smoothly, and we can’t wait to have another event here in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
