I am so happy I chose The Grand Promenade as our wedding venue. It was perfect! The downtown location fit our theme perfectly. Jessica was a pleasure to work with. She would reply to my emails very quickly and always made sure the process was as easy as possible for us. It was such a stress free experience. The food options are great and very reasonable. Overall our expectations were definitely exceeded.

Great venue for the price.

Great venue and more affordable than most places I looked at. We got to take great pictures outside without walking a lot, since the venue is on the same block as the Alamo and the Riverwalk. The staff was great, helpful and very flexible. They had no problem adjusting to my needs and were always very nice. The only downside is there is no parking at the actual venue. However, our guests were from out of town so they didn’t mind walking and sight seeing downtown San Antonio. Other than that, I got no complaints.

Made our wedding day unforgettable!!

Christa was such a great help and ensured our vision of our wedding was executed perfectly! The food, the drinks, the venue itself was all amazing! Honestly, I recommend this venue whenever I can for any event. Price is great for what you get, AND in the heart of downtown.
