Amazing venue and team!!

It’s almost impossible to truly explain how beautiful this venue is. The atmosphere and location is perfect. You feel like you aren’t close to any big cities and so private. The night felt truly magical. Vicki helped make sure our everything leading up to the big day was smooth and went over everything to make sure nothing was missed! I would recommend them to everyone.

Picture Perfect Venue!

When I got engaged last January, Garden's at Old Town was one of my first location picks! They were nearby; but tucked away just enough that you felt like you were out in nature--I ended up booking them 4 days after getting engaged!

From the moment we went for our first tour, they were nothing but helpful! Answering all questions we had, and giving us information on things we had yet to think of--they were even welcoming when I stopped by numerous times with family members who were in from out of town so they could help with decor ideas!

The venue offers heaters for rent, which was needed when it became uncharacteristically cool in the middle of October-->it was great to know they had those on hand, when temps dropped below 50.

The bridal suite is gorgeous, and provided the perfect place for us girls' to finish getting ready, and keep a few drinks and snacks to get us through the pre-ceremony photos.

While the ground weren't used by guests as much as I thought they would be, the spacious grass area, beautiful bridges and water features are what truly sold me on this location. I CANNOT wait to get my photos back and see how the swing and bridge photos turned out.

This was an overall great experience, and I'd recommend the Garden's to anyone local looking for a beautiful, and cost effective venue.

Fairytale wedding!

We fell in love with this venue upon our visit during an open house. Immediately we were able to envision our wedding day. Vicki was very helpful and informative, we booked during our first visit. We were able to contact Vicki with any questions and received a timely response each time. Gardens of Old Town Helotes exceeded our expectations. Our wedding day was beautiful! Everyone enjoyed their time and have given us nothing but compliments.

They gave us a gift, a box of cereal churros to ensure we had our churros! They remembered our engagement story and this gift meant alot to us!

Thank you Vicki for all your support and advise! We have beautiful memories!

Love,
Mr and Mrs Ramirez aka Minnie and Goofy!

Words can not express how perfect this venue was for our wedding. From the bridal suite where my bridal party and I could spend time and get ready together to the private area for my time. The amount of attention and professionalism was amazing and I would highly recommend this venue to any bride to be. ❤️

A night to remember .

When booking our venue I had very specific criteria in mind . Gardens at Old Town Helotes was my first and only venue I visited .
I didn’t have to look anywhere else , this was the one . I called my now husband and he agreed .
Vicky and family are amazing !
Vicky was so helpful when it came to the final details , the addition of the bridal cabin made getting ready for the big day seamless , Kristen our day of coordinator kept us on time and made sure vendors knew where to go . She even brought us our food and drink at dinner !
