We had an amazing experience! Brookwood is such a great place to have a wedding at. It fits small and large weddings perfectly. Katie and Jessie were so on top of things and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. The food was amazing as well. We had so many compliments from our guests about the food and venue itself. The dance floor was big and placed perfectly in the room which made it easier for everyone to want to go up and dance. The venue was beautiful. I couldn't have pictured a more perfect wedding than at Brookwood.

We can't say enough good things about our experience at Brookwood. Katie was incredible and guided us through every step of the process. We had a bit of a unique experience in that we got married a week after Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. We were worried about guests being able to make it in and the venue even being operational, but Katie was in constant contact, offered us every option (from refunds to rescheduling to relocating), and in the end bent over backwards to find an alternate reception space on site and made everything absolutely perfect, with very little different from how we planned. Katie's flexibility made our event happen in spite of local tragedy. Apart from our individual wonderful experience, part of why we chose Brookwood is because of the incredible work the community does. It was an affordable wedding venue where we knew proceeds were going towards a cause we were passionate about. The chapel is gorgeous and although we didn't get to have our reception in the Garden Ballroom due to the storm, the garden and cafe area where receptions typically take place is also beautiful and maintained by local residents- a cool extra touch. While Brookwood requires you do your catering through them, the chef and food are so good we wouldn't have had it any other way. Katie was very flexible with the menu and even offered to have the chef make any family recipes we might have. We had such a wonderful experience and can't say enough good things about The Brookwood Community and Katie. I am so glad we choose them for our perfect day!

When we started planning our wedding we knew our priorities were focused on ensuring that our community of friends and family felt welcomed and comfortable coming together to celebrate this little thing called love. From the moment we found the Brookwood Community during our research (and I did A LOT of research), we loved that their own mission statement directly aligned with our goals. Their chapel is breathtaking. The food is fantastic - I'm talking fresh from the garden delicious. Chef even catered to my gluten free diet and nobody noticed because they were too busy eating! We had plenty of room for 175 guests (could have easily had more). Being from Texas, we had a Grand March as a part of our reception. We weaved in and out of the reception hall, out the doors opening directly into the the garden and back through the foyer. Everyone had a great time!
We could not have been happier with Katie, our wedding coordinator. She listened to what we wanted and helped deliver everything down to the smallest detail with constant communication and clear expectations on costs.
We knew we were going to spend a lot of money on our wedding, and felt better knowing it was going to an amazing organization. I should also note, that Brookwood was the most economical choice that we were considering. That means we were able to check off EVERY SINGLE box - welcoming, delicious food, well priced, and a respected organization within Houston.
Overall - We love the Brookwood Community! And we loved our wedding!!
For a note on logistics - we had our hotel block at City Centre so that guests had plenty to keep them entertained with during the weekend. It was an easy drive out to the venue.

If you have any doubt in your mind about having your wedding at Brookwood before visiting the campus, I highly suggest that you go visit first! You might fall in love, again :) The chapel is stunning and doesn't need much extra decorating. Brookwood does have a fern package you can rent from its greenhouses, which is a really neat option. In fact, as you talk with Katie, the wedding coordinator, you will find there are many nice options that a lot of other wedding venues do not include. My guests loved the cocktail hour - the small bites, Photo Booth (Trendy Touches), the garden to explore and take a walk in (although it was a cold evening in November!) and drink options. Katie was really lovely to work with and is an excellent communicator, very professional, kind and thoughtful.
I love how Brookwood does the catering and hosts a top notch chef that is somehow able to cook for 200 people and get it just right! Our lemon chicken was even BETTER than we had at our tasting. What?! The guests loved everything about it and I know they would have had a great time wherever we decided to have the wedding...which is why I'm so glad my love and I decided to have it here, at Brookwood. What a special place that I can't wait to go back to with my husband and eat at the cafe and walk the gardens and just remember what a fantastic celebration we had there!

Our experience at Brookwood was better than we could have ever expected! My husband and I had a short engagement, only 4 months, and Brookwood offered a turnkey operation that allowed us to plan our wedding with ease. We loved working with Katie, and she made the entire experience a dream. We received so many compliments about our wedding, some saying it was truly the best they'd been to. Everyone loved the food, and the space was perfect for our needs. The chapel is stunning, as well as the banquet area, and the venue location was so easy for people to find. We also loved that our wedding contributed to continuing services for an adult with special needs at Brookwood Community. Honestly, I can't recommend Brookwood enough! It is a beautiful place that provides top notch service while impacting lives.

Brookwood Community was the absolute perfect place for us to get married! No other venue we looked at was able to compare. We loved everything about Brookwood- from the beautiful scenery, to the beautiful chapel, to the delicious food, and ultimately the fact that our wedding was able to benefit Brookwood and the residents. We barely decorated the chapel because it was so beautiful on its own. The green space outside of the chapel provided a beautiful backdrop for our pictures. The reception area was perfect to seat our 200 guests and provide for enough space to have a dance party. We had so many people tell us how beautiful the ceremony/chapel was, how delicious the food was, and how beautiful the garden ballroom looked for our reception. During dinner, they accommodated all of our guests' food allergies. It was great to have a cocktail hour before the reception while we took our family pictures. People were able to look around the lobby, go to the bar, as well as have fun at our photo booth. I have nothing but great things to say about Brookwood! Katie, our wedding coordinator, was very responsive, organized, and sweet. She was helpful and always willing to answer any questions I had. One of my favorite things is that we used ornaments handmade by Brookwood residents as our wedding favors. It was a special way to give back and incorporate Brookwood in to our wedding. I absolutely loved having our wedding at Brookwood and wish we could do it again!! :)

We loved Brookwood as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. The staff was amazing! They knew exactly what to do to make sure the bride has a stress-free day! All of our guest kept commenting about how wonderful the venue was as well as the food. The food was so good! All of our guest loved their signature salad and lemon chicken. I highly recommend this great venue! The price is very reasonable compared to other venues around Houston. The more important part is that you are supporting a community member for a year. You will not regret having your wedding at Brookwood!!

Brookwood Community was a wonderful place to have a wedding & reception. Wedding coordinator Katie and her co-worker, Kellen, were very professional, organized and communicated well with us during the months & days before the wedding day. They provided us with vendors that worked out really well and did a great job. (We highly recommend Cakes by Gina & DJ Brothers!) The chapel is picturesque and accommodated our guests of around 200. The bridal suite was a great place for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready. The Brookwood Community cafe was perfect for the reception. I can't say enough about how wonderful the Brookwood staff was to our guests. We received MANY compliments on the delicious meal and how accommodating the staff were to our guests. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Brookwood Community for a wedding & reception. We are very grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so very special!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
