Claudia Sent on 12/15/2015I am so happy I chose The Grand Promenade as our wedding venue. It was perfect! The downtown location fit our theme perfectly. Jessica was a pleasure to work with. She would reply to my emails very quickly and always made sure the process was as easy as possible for us. It was such a stress free experience. The food options are great and very reasonable. Overall our expectations were definitely exceeded.The Grand Promenade at Pat O'Brien's's reply:
Thank you so much, Claudia! I'm so happy that everything turned out so well and loved getting your special thank you card in the mail- you truly made my day! I had so much fun working with you (we still talk about your aguas frescas station) and wish you the very best. -

Christa was such a great help and ensured our vision of our wedding was executed perfectly! The food, the drinks, the venue itself was all amazing! Honestly, I recommend this venue whenever I can for any event. Price is great for what you get, AND in the heart of downtown. -
User2104846 Sent on 04/22/2015Jessica and Will were a pleasure to work with. They were very professional and helped make our wedding day perfect! We got SO many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly the nights' events went. Will was there all morning while we set up and the next day while we broke things down to help with all the loose ends. And Jessica ensured the actual event went perfectly. It was great to not have to worry about the coordination of events and just be able to enjoy it. Love! -
User1837945 Sent on 09/30/2014Jessica Cortese (formerly Padilla) was so helpful throughout the whole process. I felt like I was bugging her with all my questions, but she was very helpful and never made me feel like I was. She truly knew everything I was going through and made the experience great. Also the staff and crew that night were wonderful!!! -

My husband and I wanted to get married somewhere in Downtown San Antonio because all of our family was coming in from out of town (Houston, Atlanta, California, etc.) and we wanted everyone to make the most of our wedding weekend. There are many venues downtown but SO expensive. The Grand Promenade is HUGE - 10,000 sq feet, but half of it is divided by a beautiful rustic brick wall for a ceremony (We had ours at a catholic church).
Anyhow, it was a $1,500 rental for 5 hours!!! That included the bartenders, servers, linens (black and white only but you can also take your own, we used white and added burlap table runners). It is so open and spacious - it was PERFECT! We had about 180 people attend.
Christa Napier is very laid back, flexible, and responsive! She was very easy to work with. She makes it clear she is not a wedding planner, only the manager of the venue (i.e. set up and take down - also included in $1,500 price). We didn't have a wedding planner so my family just filled in where needed.
The venue was right across the street from The Menger hotel where we booked everyone's rooms and we were all just able to walk across the street to the venue! Outside the venue you have The Alamo, La Villita and a riverwalk entrance to hit the riverwalk just 5min from the hotel/venue.
Again, we absolutely LOVED our wedding day, location, vendors, etc. The Grand Promenade is a hidden gem (3rd floor of a bar, but has its own private staircase entrance or elevator). -

User2011351 Sent on 01/15/2015This was really a hidden gem. The promenade looked beautiful at night and it was right in the heart of downtown. My guest were pleasantly surprised and had a great time here. The food was (expensive) but really good and the hurricanes were enjoyed by everyone.

User2648414 Sent on 06/15/2016We had our rehearsal dinner in the Briar's Suite at Pat O' Brien's & we had such a great time!! The food we selected from their menu was delicious & the drinks were so good!! Hurricane's were the popular choice & I highly recommend them. The service we had was excellent & there was no hassle in the planning stages. The only negative thing we heard was that the bathrooms could've been cleaner. I understand it is a bar but maybe some better care & attention to the bathrooms upstairs. Thank you again for such great food & service!!

Kelci Sent on 11/28/2017We had our wedding reception in the Briar's Suite at Pat O'Briens on the riverwalk. Anyone who has been to Pat O's knows it is a fun place to be! I think all of our guests had a blast - great drinks and lots of compliments on the food/appetizers. All of the staff that night were friendly and on their game. One thing that I think is important to note: if you do buffet, it is unmanned. They specifically call out that the late night menus are unmanned buffet, so I assumed the standard buffet would be manned. Still went well for us and we didn't run out of food!
