Grace Gardens Event Center Reviews

When selecting a venue for our wedding, we did not hesitate and knew Grace Gardens was where we wanted to have our special day. Aside from the venue’s natural and stunning beauty, the fact it was an all-inclusive type of venue was such a plus! Not having to schedule and coordinate every single vendor was the best part and truly takes a lot of the stress out of the planning process. The staff here at Grace Gardens was so easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how small. They were able to accommodate so many of our needs from food accommodations for allergens to personalized décor we brought in. Our event coordinator, Peggy Stein, was so amazing to work with from beginning to end! She left such an amazing impression on us from the moment we secured our deposit, I immediately told my best friend to inquire into the venue. Needless to say, she booked her wedding with Grace Garden and scheduled her date the week after ours, also utilizing Peggy as her event coordinator!

We booked the Pond Island Pavilion for the ceremony and the Gardner Ballroom, only a short distance away, for the reception both of which hosted 130(ish) guests. The Pavilion where the ceremony was held was set up beyond our expectations and such a beautiful space. Our photographer was able to capture its raw beauty which included the gorgeous scenery and water features. Our reception was held inside the Gardner ballroom, which is stunning in itself. The chandelier that overhangs in the middle of the dance floor was such an eye catcher and the bar inside the ballroom is so classy. We loved the fact everything was so personalized to our vision to include the colors we imagined. We choose to do an elegant, classic, black & white theme with hints of champagne. The way everything was set up, our guests felt like they were in a scene of an extravagant movie and could not stop talking about the place.

The food was absolutely delicious; So many selections made it difficult to decide! The entire staff to include our wedding coordinator Peggy Stein, florist specialist Veronica Valles, DJ John Carrera, all waiters and bar service (Ray) were so professional, accommodating, easy to work with and amazing at their jobs. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout and were so impressed by the dedication they have in this industry. Specifically, to our wedding coordinator Peggy Stein who ran the entire event flawlessly! We love you, Peggy!!

Thank you again to the amazing staff at Grace Gardens for making our wedding day so spectacular!

The best place to have a wedding has my wedding this past weekend and it was the most beautiful wedding you can get in El Paso / New Mexico. Such a pretty view for the perfect picture. Can’t forget Maria when I tell you she’s the best she’s the best so helpful through everything from booking till the end of your wedding day she makes everything run so smoothly. As well the servers were very nice and helpful full the food was amazing 10 out of 10. Also Bauce DJ was an amazing dj 100% recommend he will keep your party going all night.

Veronica was exceptional, guiding us through the process going above and beyond personally making sure everything was ready for our special event. Veronica was amazing at making sure everything was planned out exactly the way we wanted it. Veronica went over the top at making sure everything was ready for my daughters big day which was amazing and unforgettable! Abby helped making sure the day ran smoothly and the venue was beautiful!! ♥️

Our daughter's wedding at Grace Gardens was absolutely beautiful! Abby, our coordinator, was wonderful to work with. The ballroom decor was perfect and so well done! Abby was easy to work with and very helpful with every detail of planning. We had some last-minute changes to our ceremony plans due to weather, but Abby had a solution, and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The servers were very polite and did a fantastic job. The food was excellent. The DJ did an excellent job, and the flowers were perfect - just exactly what my daughter wanted. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. They were also really quick to pack up and get us on our way after the reception ended. I would highly recommend Grace Gardens. I think they did an amazing job and were very reasonably priced. A special thank you to Abby for her hard work and a special thank you to all the people at Grace Gardens that made my daughter's wedding so special. We had a wonderful evening.

I met with them to view their venue for my upcoming wedding and they provided excellent customer service. Definitely recommend setting up your appointment with them!

Thank you Sally (Coordinator) for helping make Alexa's Quinceañera a magical experience, everything was beautiful from start to end. My daughter was living a dream come true, and Grace Garden was our best choice, excellent dinner, excellent venue and most of all excellent service.!!!

Had the most perfect wedding!! I highly recommend this venue to anyone. It's a beautiful location filled with very professional staff and exceptional food. Special thanks to Andrea who was our event coordinator. Couldn't have done it without her.

Our experience with Grace Gardens was spectacular! :) We truly had no worries, Daisy always took care of everything and listened to what we wanted. It was so amazing to just enjoy our wedding and not be stressed out about anything. Everything went so smoothly and if we could do it again, we'd definitely still choose Grace Gardens. Lovely Venue and wonderful service. Thank you!

I really love Grace Gardens. We're having our wedding here in February and our wedding coordinator (Araceli) has been nothing short of patient and wonderful. They are such professional, and not to mention, this place is gorgeous and well priced in my opinion!

I love Grace Gardens I can't wait till my Wedding day I'm very excited I can't wait too see how everything is going to look which I'm pretty sure it's going to look fabulous all thanks to my vendor Ana she is such a great help to us and professional!

Sally from Grace Gardens was exceptional....Without her and her expertise my husband and myself would have been lost... From the decorations to the smallest part of it all of cutting of the cake. The memories will stay with us forever! I highly recommend this venue. Beautiful decorations, great chef, to great coordination...

Grace Gardens was very helpful, attentive, and patient throughout the planning process. Our wedding coordinator, Alice, was great! She had an inmense amount of patience with our wedding planning since we were planning our wedding from out of town; Ohio. It helped a lot that Alice our wedding coordinator was there for the entire event, supervising that things went according to plan and that we kept our schedule! Planning with her was very easy going and she is very knowledgeable in her field!
The venue was organized how we requested, the food was magnificent (presentation and taste), the DJ was great at keeping the party going throughout the night!

The venue is beautiful and had everything we wanted. Our coordinator Peggy was great in guiding us through what we needed to pick out, timeline, process of things and she was very supportive when I was feeling unsure about some of the decorations we had picked. She did allow us to bring our own decorations and candy for the candy bar which was great. She’s very knowledgeable and professional. On the wedding day she was extremely helpful, she made sure we stayed on the time line and helped corral us when it was time for our different events. She also found us more food as we had 30+ people than expected show up to dinner. Frank our dj did a great job with the music always had people on the dance floor gave the vibe we wanted. We upgraded to have colored lights, smoke for our first dance and cold sparklers which added a special touch. We are so happy how our wedding turned out.

Love the staff and the flexibility they gave us to make our day so special.

Grace Gardens a beautiful venue with great staff.

Our wedding was absolutely epic!! It was truly amazing and Veronica our Event Planner was just as amazing. The decor was exceptionally stunning. The staff was organized and helpful. I would highly recommend Grace Gardens to anyone planning a special event. Our event was held in the tent and it was absolutely gorgeous!! We wish we could do it all over again!!! It was the best day ever!!

Very professional, responsive. The details in the venue were excellent. Decoration outstanding
The food was very good and all my guests enjoyed it. I will recommend this place .

I worked with Alice. She did an awesome job and really dealt with my being out of town very well. Venue offers a one stop shop. Linens, food, wine, and nice location takes care of decor. You can technically get flowers there but I got my own. One very good thing about this place is that they allow you to bring your own liquor. This was great! I can't tell you how good this place was to me. Thanks Alice! Great job.

We called ahead of time to ask screening questions about our ceremony and reception. We spoke to Arlene who is apparently untrained and unaware of how the events go l, and how the property run.

We came to view the property and we didn’t even make it past the front office. The staff who was supposed to show us around apparently had another appointment and couldn’t take care of us. Once we finally settled in after waiting, we were told that they don’t do “our kind” of ceremonies. It’s 2023, how embarrassing. They asked if we still wanted to see the property for the reception. Seriously? Lmao I’ll take my $$$$ elsewhere

If they find out you are not a male-female couple they will tell you that they can't accommodate your wedding due to the owner's religious beliefs. Please don't support bigoted venues.

This place is run by bigots please avoid supporting this group of bigots.

Location is beautiful. However it was a nightmare dealing with them. From menu selection, to limited decode available. They were not on top of things from beginning to end. Wrong linens were used in cocktail tables, my wedding planner had to be on top of them when food was going to be served as they were not going to serve salads even though I have paid extra for them. They market garden green area and it was awful the day of the wedding with dirt patches walking towards the ceremony for guest. Beware they are a nightmare. Would not recommend to anyone this location.
