Moody Gardens Frances Moody Ballroom is a gorgeous setting for a wedding reception! The catering manager and banquet captain will make sure your requests are met in every detail. The accommodations of suites and rooms are perfect for the wedding party and guests. This resort has a great team of staff members. I do not hesitate to recommend this venue for a wedding or other event!

The team at Moody Gardens is awesome, especially Vlada! I changed my mind alot...but they were super flexible and responded to my emails within a timely manner! The entire property is beautiful and there are tons of spots for pictures! Our ceremony was at the Herb Garden (on property) but they provided transportation for our guests from the hotel; this was great for our elderly guests! Booking hotel accommodations was also super easy! Great venue; I would definitely recommend to other brides and grooms!
