Amazing Wedding Venue and Staff

We had our wedding reception at the Magnolia Hotel in Houston, Texas and our experience was absolutely amazing from the first meeting through the event execution! Kiana and her staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch and the food was also superb.

Above and beyond

Andy was so incredibly amazing throughout our planning process. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and happy. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. He exceeded every single expectation and we couldn’t have done it without him. He brought our dreams to life and eased my anxiety and worries throughout the process. The hotel staff was amazing. Francisco was also super easy to work with. There are no words to show our appreciation except thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our most important day perfect.

Excellent!

Wow, just wow! From our first walkthrough of Magnolia Hotel Houston, the customer service was excellent. All staff members were warm, welcoming and inviting. We knew this was the perfect location for our wedding. Fast forward a few months and the global pandemic hit. We really struggled with the idea of a massive downsize, but Magnolia Hotel was on the exact same page as us. The staff was truly outstanding for their accommodations and support. We had a significant downsize from our original wedding plan, but Andy and his team were phenomenal.

The food was AMAZING. Our guests could not believe that the food was from Magnolia Hotel. Everyone thought we catered from a Middle Eastern restaurant, but Chef Antonio outdid himself. The Mediterranean buffet was absolutely delicious! So many of our guests went for seconds, and a few of them asked to take food home with them!

If you are planning an event, big or small, I highly recommend holding your event at Magnolia Hotel! You will not be disappointed!
