About this venue

The Omni La Mansion del Rio is a hotel wedding venue for couples hosting weddings in the San Antonio area. This elegant destination venue welcomes couples from near and far to commemorate their special day at this hotel. The Omni La Mansion del Rio sits in downtown San Antonio, Texas, a six-minute drive from the San Antonio Museum of Art.

Facilities and Capacity

Up to 250 guests can join couples at this downtown hotel for their wedding. This venue has five event spaces for couples' ceremonies or receptions. The hotel also welcomes couples for their bridal shower, engagement party, or rehearsal dinner. The Iberian Ballroom's crystal chandeliers and wall of French doors give it an elegance and charm of its own. The Madero Ballroom, located on the hotel's fifth floor, has only two crystal chandeliers but boasts its own foyer. This ballroom is intimate and private. The Veramendi Ballroom has golden-hued wallpaper and French-style windows that give guests a view of downtown San Antonio. The view is even better at night when the city glows from a thousand different lights. El Capistrano is a Spanish-influenced space with exposed wooden beams and arched windows. Although these ballrooms can host wedding ceremonies, many couples choose to wed in the venue's Courtyard. The Courtyard is centrally located in this hotel, away from the busy city streets downtown. The brick patio and surrounding flora give this space a destination feel.

Omni La Mansion del Rio did not disappoint anyone in our wedding. They definitely exceeded all of our expectations. We used three different locations in the Hotel for our celebration. Each one had staff members and Marissa(Catering Sales Manager) who were very professional and extremely easy to work with. Marissa was in constant contact with myself and the wedding planner in the weeks before the big day making sure all of our needs were met and even going above and beyond to make last minute adjustments and reservations. Marissa made it a point to be visible and available during all ceremonies which made our event planners work so much easier. Two weeks later and still getting compliments on our food selection. We went ala carte and it met everyone's taste... from prime rib, brisket, macaroni and cheese(big hit-must try), baked potato bar to vegetable medley it was all delicious. Check-in was easy and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The bell staff and parking attendants were courteous and helpful to families needing directions or suggestions on local entertainment. For the ceremony we used the Courtyard with the beautiful fountain. The cocktail hour we used El Capistrano and the Madero room was used for the reception. Each room was decorated and set as promised in our agreement. The staff even added candles on and around the fountain for the ceremony thus making it that much prettier.

I highly recommend Omni La Mansion del Rio for its beautiful venue. We had the ceremony in the courtyard which was a beautiful backdrop for our pictures. Having the ceremony and reception at the same hotel was convenient for our out of town guests. Marissa Carlisle was a joy to work with. She made suggestions and offered ideas to help make the whole process smoother. She was always accessible and always responded to emails quickly. The whole staff from the moment you step on the premises is outstanding. I would recommend Omni La Mansion to all and will definitely return for future events.

Reliable service, we got all the things we were promised. Our day for the wedding turned out to be cold and rainy and they quickly switched us from the courtyard to a beautiful room for our ceremony. All staff were so wonderful and accommodating to our guests and made sure everyone felt comfortable and welcome. The meal was delicious too!

Don't call anyone else !!! Just get signed up as soon as possible.
We found Marissa to be wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, professional and just fun to work with, It was great to work directly with the person able to make all the final decisions and is the absolute expert in making reception arrangements, She handled everything from reception layout, rehearsal dinner, specialty drinks, hors d' oeuves, room arrangements and coordination of arrivals for traveling guests, We would highly recommend Marissa to anyone needing a wedding reception.

Marissa and her accompanying support staff at the hotel assisted us in coving even the finest details for our wedding. The courtesy, amenities, and hotel accommodations that Marissa and La Mansion made for use was over the top and way more than we expected. There was nothing we asked for that they couldn't accomplish or accommodate. By no means is this location the cheapest, but the professionalism of their service, the attention to detail make this an amazing value.
Our families, both in-town and out-of-town, really enjoyed themselves. We would recommend Marissa and La Mansion to any one.

The food is literally perfect. You will love all the options and flavors, and how all of it is unique to La Mansion. You will have to pay quite a bit more than other venues, but it really is worth it in the end.

The Omni and their event coordinator, Erica delivered! The service is incredible...professional and accommodating. The staff was great, and I was able to create my vision. The hotel is beautiful with Spanish charm. My event was held in El Capistrano and provided the perfect amount of space for my smaller guest list. The menu selection is vast, and the food was absolutely amazing (taste and presentation). Situated right on the Riverwalk, the Omni has everything to offer for the special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
