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.

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.

Great Experience!

We booked the Briar Suite for a rehearsal dinner and had a great experience! Christa was so responsive and accommodating to all of our requests. She let us customize everything to make it perfect for all of our family and friends that were in town. We were planning this event from out of town which we thought would be difficult, but was made easy by Christa as she fit us in her schedule for multiple meetings to tour the venue and taste the food. The projector company recommended had a great TV/microphone system for speeches and our slide shows. The room was well decorated the day of our event and the fajita buffet tasted great and worked out perfectly. Overall Christa and everyone at Pat Os (chef, bartender, Corbey) were friendly, flexible and easy to work with. Thanks again for everything!

We had our harry potter themed reception at the Grand Promenade this past weekend and it was perfect! We’ve been planning this wedding for over a year and Christa and Corbey have been great at answering all of our questions and working with us to make our reception happen. They answered all of my emails and calls and provided us with a signature drink and a food tasting. The food is delicious!! We got a food package with premium open bar included and it was absolutely worth it. Our guests were so happy and I cannot express how happy we are with our experience at the Grand Promenade.

There are not enough kind words to say for Jessica and her team! From the very beginning we were impressed with Jessica. She met with us several times and spent countless time with us long before we even booked the venue. She was flexible when we needed her to be, and always available to answer a question. Their execution was flawless on our wedding day. The venue is beautiful, flexible, accommodating, and so much more. The bar service is fantastic, and we had so many compliments on the Bruschetta station that we had for cocktail hour! Everyone was asking for the recipe! You won't find better service anywhere!

Gorgeous venue, delicious food, and amazing staff! We had our wedding reception in the Grand Promenade, and it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The venue is both stunning and unique, and the space was perfect for our 200 guests. Everyone raved about the food, and the Pat O'Brien's specialty cocktails were much enjoyed. Furthermore, the staff went above and beyond to make our reception an amazing experience. Jessica worked with us from the very beginning and was so knowledgeable, helpful, and caring throughout the whole process. She responded to any questions I had almost immediately, and she made sure that our reception was everything we could have wanted.

Jessica and Will were a pleasure to work with. They were very professional and helped make our wedding day perfect! We got SO many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly the nights' events went. Will was there all morning while we set up and the next day while we broke things down to help with all the loose ends. And Jessica ensured the actual event went perfectly. It was great to not have to worry about the coordination of events and just be able to enjoy it. Love!
