Could not have asked for better

The title of this review doesn't even scratch the surface. When we first started looking, we had the Menger high on our list due to the role it played in our relationship (our first stay vacation!) and how beautiful it is. I was elated to find out how responsive, helpful, creative, and kind the team at the Menger is. They answered my (many, many) questions promptly and thoroughly. I never felt confused by the process or like I would be blindsided. They were up front about everything and willing to work with me on different ideas. The pricing is also a really strong point here, as it is well priced and well worth the cost. Leading up to the wedding, the team took care of so much and were so flexible with letting us into the rooms early to set up, and even changing some of the decorations that day because yes, they have items like charger plates and candle sticks already there! They helped with signage for the cocktails and direction plaues in the hotel, and they even made sure they had ingrediants for our signautre cocktails on hand. They made the whole experience so easy and fun and I really can't recommend them more. It's a beautiful space, with so much character, and the whole team, from the catering planning department to the servers to the bartenders to even the kind people at the front desk made it such a wonderful experience. Weddings are hard and kind of a mess to plan, but this is one decision that can be easy to make. Happy planning!

Met Gala Meets Chinoiserie

We had a fantastic experience hosting our wedding at the Menger Hotel in Downtown San Antonio! Zarelda and her team were so communicative and helpful when it came to the planning leading up to our special day, as well as execution during the event itself!

The hotel is located down in the heart of the San Antonio Riverwalk and is right next to the Alamo. We had a lot of family coming from out of state—with this being their first time in Texas—so the ability for them to walk around and experience San Antonio right from the hotel was great.

From our initial meeting with Zarelda, we knew she would work to make sure we had an amazing day—she made sure we had everything in place with our planning, helped us pick the perfect venue for the ceremony and reception with our budget in mind (spoiler: they have several spaces in the hotel for events!), and was there the day of the wedding to help make sure everything went off without a hitch.

A great thing about the Menger Hotel was that the catering and bar services are done in-house, so you’re able to worry less about communicating with a lot of different vendors leading up to your wedding day. The food for our reception was delicious, too! There’s always a worry your food will taste like “wedding food” when you go to someone’s wedding, but the food was high quality and very tasty!

When we first came to San Antonio to see if we wanted to live here, we stayed at the Menger and had a lovely experience as a guest, so being able to celebrate our special day was a full-circle moment. The character, history, decor and experience of the hotel itself acted as a stunning and grandiose backdrop for our ceremony and reception, with many of our guests remarking at how luxe and grand everything felt.
