The Gardens At West Green
Karen is the most warm, welcoming, professional, accessible, fun & AMAZING venue manager a bride could ask for. The Gardens was the most romantic, peaceful, & clean venue. (The hem of my dress didn’t get dirty!) I felt very well taken care of. I am so overjoyed that I picked The Gardens and I absolutely adore Karen. -

Friendly, professional, & knowledgeable. Karen helped us so much. From ideas to suggestions. I 110% recommend this venue. It’s beautiful. There is so much already done. You just add your touches. The bridal suite was huge. Easily accommodated all 5 of my bridesmaid, and a few guests. Grooms
Suite also was perfect for them. We couldn’t hear them and it was right across the hall. Everything went seamlessly and I honestly couldn’t of asked for a better wedding. Even the day before with our rehearsal (that’s included in price) Karen helped to guide it and was there to assist with the ceremony. They set up the chairs in a spiral pattern which I had dreamed of without a blink. It got a bit chilly and they closed the patio area with curtains, and also have heaters available at a good price. If your looking to create a romantic and intimate service and ceremony this is the spot!The Gardens at West Green's reply:
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for the review! We loved every moment of your day. It was a pleasure working with you and your family was amazing. We are grateful for this opportunity and wish you and your family the best! -

Beyond beautiful and amazing service!!
I cannot explain how happy I was with everything at our wedding. We we first toured the venue, I was in awe of how beautiful it was and that there was this garden like venue in San Antonio. Everything there is picture perfect! Karen was so sweet and so helpful!! The day of, it had been drizzling all morning and I was a little nervous of how things would go. The staff there was drying off the lawn and putting everything together and my doubts were gone. The venue alone is great but decorated looked heavenly!! Karen also had back up plans incase it did rain or if it git too cold. So happy we went with this venue for our small intimate wedding. Thank you and your staff for everything Karen!! We are beyond happy with everything!! 😍❤️The Gardens at West Green's reply:
Hi Alexandra, Thank you so much for your review! We love hearing back from our venue "family". We were so honored to have you here. It was a pleasure putting everything together and making it so memorable. By the way, Four Corners Coffee was incredible as well as your florist. Love them all. Best Wishes to the two of you! -

I had the privilege of shooting a beautiful wedding under the gorgeous draping trees at this venue last year. Each aspect of the grounds were very nicely tended and had classy detail. It was the perfect setting for an intimate wedding. I would highly recommend this venue. -

Truly a steal!
The Gardens at West Green is the best deal out there for a high quality venue! Karen is so easy to work with and she always answered our emails quickly. The venue price is a fraction of most others, but they provide you with so much more. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the Gardens at West Green is. This is the only venue we toured and we have never regretted it one bit! It was perfect for our big day! -

Cristina Sent on 11/15/2020Our Wedding
Choosing this place was the best decision we made for our small wedding! The venue is beautiful, affordable, flows well, and barely needs any decorating at all. A huge added bonus is that chairs, tables and tablecloths are included in the package. We received endless compliments on using this stunning venue for our wedding. Throughout the whole process, Karen was extremely prompt in communicating and flexible to work with, she even helped us with creating a timeline and organizing the procession on the wedding day. The place has gorgeous chandeliers throughout that look amazing day and night plus white columns that make for unforgettable couples photos. We highly recommend this place! -

Katie Sent on 11/09/2020We Love This Location!
This hidden gem was one of the reasons we had a fairy tale wedding right in the heart of San Antonio! Karen was lovely to work with, very professional, and always prompt when communicating. She made viewing the venue a breeze, whether it was the first time or to meet a vendor. She also worked with the day-of coordinator and everything felt so smooth during our special day. Thank you, Karen! The venue speaks for itself.The Gardens at West Green's reply:
Hi Katie! Thank you so much for the review. We loved having you, your family and friends with us to celebrate such a beautiful beginning. We appreciate your trust in us and fee honored to have had this opportunity. Blessings to the two of you! -

Harley Sent on 05/13/2020The Venue is Beautiful & Karen was Great to work with!
The Gardens at West Green was a great venue for our wedding! The gardens are beautiful year-round. We booked in February 2019 for our March 2020 wedding. The bride and groom's suites were great for getting ready. The owner, Karen, ran our rehearsal for us the day before. The venue was intimate without feeling cramped. Karen had everything set up by 7AM for our 11AM wedding! Every time we turned around Karen was smiling and supportive while keeping everything in order. The venue is also so beautiful it doesn't need any additional decoration. We were shocked at how affordable the venue was for our estimated guest size and so thrilled that it came with everything we needed for a great day. Karen even recommended our caterer, which was also fantastic. -

The Gardens at West Green is a 10 star!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I must say that this venue is definitely one I will be working with again! My Sister is actively serving in the military and told me she and her boyfriend at the time were planning to get married in San Antonio, so she needed my help with venue, etc. Thank God that event planning is my job already so I got right into the research of finding her a space to complete her request (she loves green). This was one of the first places that popped up for “small weddings/elopements”.
From my initial conversation with Karen, she was very helpful in making sure my sister and I had everything we needed (preferred vendors, etc). When we arrived, she was very professional and “hands on”, helping wherever we needed her. The pictures does that venue no justice. I was just as beautiful in person and the weather was just right as well! I couldn’t thank Karen enough for all she did and I’m so looking forward to working with her again!The Gardens at West Green's reply:
Thank you Shemeika!!!! It was a pleasure working with you. Your sister is so special and we appreciate everything she does for our country. Marcus had me in tears just watching him gaze at his new bride walking down the isle or the way he held her on the dance floor! We would be honored to have you again at the venue and we will definitely recommend your services to our future clients. Best Regards, hope to see you soon. -

Ali Sent on 11/07/2019The most beautiful outdoor wedding experience
This venue is gorgeous and very elegant. From the greenery and tall trees, to the picturesque white columns, this place truly captures the romance and intimacy of a wedding. I love that you can bring in your own vendors which really helps save some money. Karen the owner was so kind and very helpful with making sure things went smoothly. -

This venue is perfect if you want a small intimate wedding. Karen is a wonderful, easy-to-talk-to person.

Joan Sent on 04/26/2018The best words I can use to describe my initial impression of The Gardens of West Green are "hidden oasis"! When I entered the gates in November of 2017, I was almost certain that this idyllic location, with its magnificent oaks and elegant landscaping, would bring my wedding vision to life. However, what cinched the Gardens as the absolute perfect venue was Karen, the owner and caretaker. She has a gentle command, a heart of service and a penchant for elegance that made the journey from wedding planning to the wedding day as stress-free as possible. With a very small (some might even say impossible) window in which to plan a 50 guest wedding/reception, which of course eventually turned into an 80 guests, the Gardens was exactly what I needed: Beauty, elegance, affordability and EXCEPTIONAL Service. Add to that Karen's list of preferred vendors, which made the normally stressful search process in selecting entertainment, photographer and videographer, food and beverage, and even the officiant, all so effortless. On our wedding day, the vision was realized and our guest felt like they had been a part of something truly exceptional - our tribe had grown with new connections between friends and family at a wedding that folks will be talking about for years! Many, many thanks to Karen and her staff for facilitating our perfect wedding day!

Thank you Joan! It was a pleasure working with you. So glad you had a great time. I loved every detail you planned. Shelly and I still remember your event. -

Lisa Sent on 04/21/2018Guests raved about the beauty of this tucked away little venue. It's so well maintained, lush and green. It is a slice of heaven and I am so glad this is where our memories were made. It is also very affordable, costing us under $2,500 for almost 100 people. Thank you, Karen for all of your wonderful recommendations on other vendors, for your time and patience. -

Tamara Sent on 03/19/2018My fiancé and I had our hearts set on getting married and finding a venue in Austin. After googling small garden venues, we came across the Gardens at West Green website, so we decided to go take a look at the venue. When we arrived, we were in awe! We fell in love with the gardens and immediately contacted Karen Little to book the venue. Since, the very beginning, Karen has been a God send! She responded to us that same day and was always available via text, email or by phone for any questions that we had. She also provided us with a vendor list and we were very pleased with the ones we chose. Karen was very flexible and will go above and beyond to meet any expectations well in reason. The day of our wedding everything went as expected…FABULOUS!! All of our guest fell in love with the venue just as we did! We highly recommend the Gardens for any occasion! Thank you again Karen for helping make our special day such memorable one! We love you!!
Sincerely,
David and TamaraThe Gardens at West Green's reply:

Katlyn Sent on 08/28/2017Ms. Little was amazing throughout my whole planning process; she was so polite and professional even when I was asking so many questions about everything. She helped in every way she could! When a car caught on fire before our ceremony she was quick to respond and she helped make sure everyone was safe and that 911 was called also she stayed with the guests who's vehicles were caught on fire and made sure their insurances were notifed. She was just amazing.The Gardens at West Green's reply:
Hi Katlyn, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you, Kyle and your family on such an important day! That was an exciting day for everyone :). Many Blessings to you and your new family. -

Karen at the gardens was the sweetest woman ever!!! She helped us throughout the entire two postponements. The day of our wedding, she helped direct the bridal party down for the ceremony. I couldn’t have done it without her. In addition to her being amazing, the venue was beautiful. I highly recommend this venue to any brides. -

Tiffany Sent on 03/26/2019Beautiful, but could have better communication
The Gardens at West Green is a beautiful place to get married and makes for good pictures and a nice atmosphere. It was affordable and flexible. What you get in a package is very reasonable and makes it simple. I would recommend it. The only thing I wish could have been better is communication, quicker responses and following up the week of the wedding to go over everything and make sure it is correct, as some of the stuff we had asked for in the questionnaire they had us fill out was not there.The Gardens at West Green's reply:
Hi Tiffany, thank you for making me aware of the item on the questionnaire. I did see that you had requested 4 stainless steel patio heaters to be billed at $35 each. I just assumed that we did not need them since it was so warm the day of the wedding and no one mentioned them that afternoon upon arrival. We did not bill you for them. Again, my apologies for assuming this and not checking with you. I’m glad I could assist with your rehearsal the day before. It’s has been my pleasure. Best of luck!
