    If I could rate this venue a million stars, I would!

    We had to move our wedding back locally on short notice giving us only 5mos to plan a big traditional wedding, when we’d originally planned to elope with only immediate family.

    Magnolia Bells has packages that make wedding planning a breeze if you’re super busy, or working and unable to take a vacation to plan a wedding or hire a planner.

    They took care of everything, made it stress free and magical, and nearly everything was included in the package with extremely straightforward packaging. We had access to amazing bridal suites, the chapel, all grounds for pictures, they provided the DJ, and even included a wedding cake, catering, dance floor monogram, Photo Booth, sparkler send off, and custom bar package. They offered recommendations for hair, makeup, and even officiants. I was thrilled with nearly every single one of their suggestions, though I chose to use a close friend to make our Wedding cake.

    We even asked to customize a couple things and switch to a different dessert provider with some speciality desserts. They accommodated, and it didn’t even raise our price! It kept us within my budget, they let our puppy be a part of the ceremony and our first dance, and everyone has been raving about it since.

    One other thing to note: I’m not the girl that’s been planning my wedding since I was a kid. I haven’t been in, or attended very many weddings, and didn’t really know what I was doing or where to start. My job keeps me insanely busy, and to suddenly switch from eloping to a big traditional wedding had me overwhelmed. Sheila, the owner, and her reps including Summer…. Took 95% of the stress out of this day.

    The other 5%… trying not to trip or sweat or cry walking down the aisle lol!

    I cannot thank their team enough. They saved our wedding, and made it the most memorable magical day.

    Amazing experience

    We could not have chosen a better venue. Our coordinator Allison was so on top of things and made the whole day flow easily. Venue itself was gorgeous. Guests had a blast. We could not recommend the team here more highly and are so glad we chose them for our wedding day

    could not have been more satisfied

    We could not have been more satisfied with this wedding facility. My daughter was so pleased with every aspect of the process and wedding day. The owner and coordinator were professional, helpful, attentive, and so much more. The venue itself was beautiful and needed little decoration. The fact that we had to deal with nothing on the wedding day was a huge plus. They take care of everything. It rained, we were already doing the wedding inside, but it went seamlessly. The alcohol vendor was just as accommodating and helpful as well as professional. Nothing bad to say about our whole experience with Magnolia Bells. Thanks so much to all of their staff for making the day as perfect as it could be.

    Best wedding venue

    After being proposed to in December 2020, we knew we wanted a quick engagement. So between Christmas and New Years Eve, my best friend and I toured 4 wedding venues in one day. There was no doubt in my mind... it was Magnolia Bells for the win! From the tour with Sheila (who I've adopted as my new aunt) on 12/29/20 to the end of our wedding night on 5/21/21, the relationship, communication, organization, and service with Magnolia Bells has been TOP KNOTch! This venue knows exactly what they're doing: several package options, pricing laid out, in-house bar, relationships with the top wedding food vendors, in-house DJ, security, tables, chairs, linens, photo-booth, decorations, packing your belongings into your car, you name it... they made my life so easy and wedding planning FUN! I didn't have to stress about finding vendors, price comparing, and hoping it all came together the day of. Over the past 5 months I fell in love with their top 2 coordinators, Sheila & Natalie. They are passionate about their job and there is no doubt they made my fairytale wedding a reality! Thank you Magnolia Bells from the bottom of our hearts!

    Dream Venue and Amazing Coordinators!

    I cannot say enough good things about Magnolia Bells. We had to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic, and they helped us change the date seamlessly. We got a package through the venue, which made everything so stress free! I am a person who can get stressed pretty easily, so I always worried I wouldn’t enjoy the wedding planning process/the big event itself. They took all of that stress away because they are so thorough and detail oriented. Throughout the planning and meeting process they go through every detail you could think of and even bring up things you wouldn’t think about. They really did make my dream wedding come to life! I told them my vision, told them what decorations I was bringing and what I wanted to use from their collection, and they made it happen! I even baked my own desserts and brought them to set up a dessert table, and they set all that up too! We didn’t have to think of a thing on our wedding day other than enjoying the moment, so we had a blast on our wedding day. They even made sure everything was moving according to schedule on the day of by walking around to help with anything and everything, giving you very subtle reminders to not spend too long talking to one table, etc.
    They are truly phenomenal, especially Natalie who we worked with the most. Thank you guys so much from the bottom of our hearts! We had such an amazing wedding experience with you guys!! It felt as close to perfect as you can get 😊

    Amazing experience!

    I can not say enough about this venue. They care so much about their couples and making our day the best. They were so helpful and understanding when it came to postponing due to COVID. The venue is also beautiful, as is the bridal cottage. I am so so glad I chose Magnolia Bells as my venue and would recommend it to everyone!

    Amazing!!!!

    Sheila and Natalie were great during the entire process. They worked with me, being out of town, and i couldn’t have asked for anything better. The day of, Sheila and Natalie also had Janie and all three of them were amazing. They made sure everything was on time and perfect! Everything was seamless and amazing!

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Magnolia Bells is the BEST!! Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful-it has a beautiful indoor chapel for ceremony as well as an equally beautiful outdoor ceremony area if you so choose, so you can't go wrong no matter time of year of what the crazy Houston weather will bring, but Natalie, Macy and Ross were awesome to work with. They were very nice, always helpful in answering our questions, super flexible, and just all around amazing. We also stayed in the onsite cabin and that was so convenient. Super clean, roomy, and comfortable. I really can't say enough about how wonderful everyone and everything was. They truly helped make our day as magical as we hoped! Thank you.

    Working with Magnolia Bells has been such a joy! Everything has worked out so smoothly and with almost NO stress! The only stress has been the people in our wedding party and Magnolia Bells even helped make that easier! Well worth every penny!

    Hidden Gem

    I don't even know how to convey how much I loved this venue and the staff. I got married on June 22, 2019 and it was everything I could have hoped for! The venue itself speaks to you when you are on your first tour it and the photos do not do ANY justice to the actual quality of it. From the moment I had my tour I knew right off this was where I wanted to have my special day. The staff is so amazing and do a great job helping you prepare for your big day. They truly want it to be EVERYTHING you hope. The whole staff along with some of their close friends were there helping on the day of my wedding. They made sure things went smoothly and it was exactly how I pictured it. Sheila and Natalie went above and beyond what I could have wanted in a day of coordinators as well as venue staff. This place is truly a hidden gem and one definitely worth checking out, you will not be sorry you did. I can not say thank you enough or write a good enough review to give justice of how I felt and feel about getting to have this place, the staff, and the friends I made at this venue as the location I got married.

    Highly recommend!

    Sheila and Natalie went above and beyond with excellent customer service. The very first time we met with Sheila she described her passion for weddings and it shows. Every time we met with them, they were happy, encouraging, pleasant and kind. They responded to our many emails promptly and worked with our schedule to meet with them each time. My family and I attended their Open House event after we had already booked with them. My grandfather got sick, (he has cancer and we didn’t think he would make it to the wedding day so wanted to show him the venue before), and in the midst of all they had going on that day, they stopped to help us and make sure we were ok. Even on my wedding day, Sheila was there helping me finalize last minute details. On top of all the excellent service we received throughout the whole process, the venue itself is just stunning. We received so many compliments from our guests on just how beautiful the venue was. We used their wood and stone chapel, the barn with wood ceilings, and the spacious bride’s cottage. They also recently added a great outdoor ceremony space. Highly, highly recommend!

    Magnolia Bells was amazing! We loved everything about the venue, but our favorite amenity was by far the Chapel. The pictures are amazing but I recommend visiting to see it for yourself.

    My husband and I were married at Magnolia Bells in mid January. From the moment I stepped onto the property almost a year before I was entranced by it. The drive up, the chapel, lake, and of course the barn. Shelia, Macy, and Ross were such a great help from the start to the end. They were all such huge blessings to making our day go as smoothly as it did. Once our family and friends went through the gate they understood why we needed to celebrate our union here. It is such a fairytale getting married at Magnolia Bells. My girls loved getting ready in the Bridal cottage and taking pictures at the barn doors. My husband and I highly recommend Magnolia Bells. Their staff is incredible, the venue itself is beautiful, and you will have an event that won't be easy to forget.

    The second my fiance, now husband, and I toured Magnolia Bells, we fell in love. I started to tear up. Everything about this venue is gorgeous. The old bell that the ring after your ceremony is absolutely breathtaking. It makes the experience a million times more special. The staff is so wonderful and makes sure all your questions are answered (I swear I called them a million times a month leading up to my wedding). They took all the stress away the day off and I don't think I could ever thank them enough for everything.
    This venue is gorgeous and the staff is great, you're in good hands choosing Magnolia Bells.

    Absolutely perfect venue! My fiancé and I fell in love with this place. The rustic, yet elegant, chapel and the barn was exactly what we were looking for. The barn is an old horse stable that was remodeled into an absolutely beautiful space! There's an adorable bridal cottage for the girls to get ready for the Special Day. We worked with Sheila Settles at Magnolia Bells, and she was actually our wedding coordinator too! She did an amazing job of making our day run smoothly! The venue was the perfect space for us to tie the knot, and I highly reccomend it!

    As soon as my daughter saw this venue, she didn't want to look any further. Everything has been so well planned: the serene nature setting, beautiful handcrafted buildings, fun bride's cottage, the private parking lot so cars are not spoiling the rustic atmosphere. Sheila Settles is so sweet and genuine. She gave quick responses to questions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, she was always a step ahead of what I thought we would remember. And she arrived in her golf cart each time my 91 year old mother-in-law on a walker and me on crutches needed a ride to the next location. We will always remember her as a significant part of our wedding. Our guests complimented the custom work built by her husband. Although we initially questioned the wedding date, it actually turned out perfectly. It was the night before Mother's Day. What a gift it was to expand our family overnight!

    I married the love of my life at Magnolia Bells on March 18, 2017 and it was better than I ever imagined. I cannot express enough how amazing this venue is. Not only because it is drop dead gorgeous- from the huge reception barn adorned with beautiful chandeliers and reclaimed wood to the romantic chapel filled with handmade pews and of course the bridal cottage that will actually make you and your girls feel like princesses... Beyond all of that, Magnolia Bells is so incredible because of the people behind it. I am not exaggerating when I say that Sheila Settles, wedding coordinator of Magnolia Bells, is the most talented, creative, and organized person I’ve ever met. She has many years of experience planning parties and weddings and that experience was obvious as she helped me plan the tiniest details I would have never thought of. On the day of the wedding, Sheila and her team were phenomenal. Not one thing went wrong, and I owe that all to them. I highly recommend this venue to anyone- the owner, coordinator, and staff have thought of every detail to make your day perfect. Magnolia Bells exceeded my expectations in every way. I could not be more grateful for the fantastic and brilliant people behind this venue.

    Beautiful Venue

    An absolutely stunning venue that created the backdrop to a magical day! All our guests complemented the chapel as well as the reception barn. You feel truly secluded from the rest of the world. The getting ready spaces were amazing as well. I couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding.
