The venue (place, catering, tables and chairs, bar) was one of the least stressful parts of the wedding. Everything was under one roof!

This venue went above and beyond to make our special day happen. They helped us save money wherever we could. Gave us upgrades and perks when available so it would be easier for everyone! Was willing to talk through all the different options and was always available for the never ending questions I have! Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or special place to get married. We wanted somewhere that was the heart of San Antonio and we found it!

We are so happy that we had our dream wedding here at The Depot! All staff made sure we had every detail the way we wanted. When I walked in to the reception, I was blown away and amazed that they exceeding expectations on the set-up. The staff and service was very accommodating all night, Rosemary's Catering was amazing, and it was definitely a dream come true. Strongly recommend!!

REALLY, the best venue/catering provider ever. They worked with us week after week and answered any and all questions we had. The view is amazing, the trains were cool, and the 2-floor building is so authentic. If you're doubting like I was in the beginning because of the price or nerves, please know it is worth it!...the price is not even that high to be honest and it includes so many perks, it is basically an all-in-one value pack. I can't imagine my bride being happier anywhere else (and that is EXTREMELY important) and this is the reason for so many great memories that my family and neighbors are still talking about!

I love everything about Sunset Station. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and all of our out-of-town guests loved the scenery and being so close to the River Walk. Seriously this is such a gorgeous venue, I would recommend it to anyone.

For my daughter's wedding, we used Depot 4 at Sunset Station. The reception was wonderful. The team we worked with (Michelle and Shelley) were terrific. They explained all the details and answered the millions of questions I had quickly. Every detail we discussed was carried out to the letter. The staff really took care of us that evening. And, the food was fabulous! Even though there was a UTSA game going on at the same time, things went very smoothly. I would recommend Sunset Station for your wedding!

The venue was beautiful and a great canvas for my vision (depot 4). The price was great, but what really made the experience better was Tara Valdez. She's amazing! She answers all your questions and helps with any concerns. She's always smiling and easy to get along with. Best person to contact and work with. Thank you so much, Tara!
