The St. Anthony Reviews

My wife and I just had our wedding at The St. Anthony Hotel. We had the absolute best day ever and we are so happy with the venue and all of the amazing staff! Beginning at the initial inquiry, I worked with Bridget Klish and she was an absolute rock star! We couldn’t have had a better coordinator and she made our special day come to life. I (groom) was very in depth into the details of budgeting and planning and some coordinators could have become irritated by the amount of questions and concerns I had, but Bridget quickly and thoroughly answered every single one. As long as I emailed her before early afternoon, I would almost always get a response within an hour or two… We would even exchange emails late into the evening discussing little details. My wife and I visited the venue a couple times during the planning stage, and Bridget always made sure that the entire staff was ready for our arrival and everyone greeted us by name. I can’t speak highly enough Bridget and how much of an amazing job she did making our special day come life. If you are on the fence at all about a venue, please do yourself a favor and hop on the phone with Bridget at the St. Anthony. She will take amazing care of you!

The St. Anthony is beyond gorgeous and the event staff is beyond amazing! The hotel's history with the modern renovations gives a feeling of luxurious comfort. Our wedding day was everything we've dreamed of and the experience of planning was better than imagined because of the professionalism and personality of Bridget Klish. Bridget listened to our needs and desires, she made thoughtful recommendations and gently moved us in a different direction when necessary. You are blessed to fall in love, fortunate to get a chance to wed at the St. Anthony and exceptionally lucky to work with Bridget Klish. We also enjoyed working with Mohammed during our tasting. Our guest who stayed at the St. Anthony only had the best reviews.

Bridget and her team went above and beyond to work within the couple's budget and still produce the wedding of their dreams! I would highly recommend having your wedding at The St. Anthony Hotel!

Bridget at the St. Anthony helped us have our dream wedding. She was so flexible and always made great recommendations. She assured we had what we wanted and needed. The location was beautiful and so close to our ceremony space. We truly loved the St. Anthony.

The couple I had the honor of planning the wedding for had selected the St. Anthony Hotel for their reception as their first order of business after getting engaged. The St. Anthony holds a very special place in their hearts and they knew there was no better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Bridget and the St. Anthony team went above and beyond to accommodate every need and make sure every little detail was perfectly executed! The service all around was top notch from catering to concierges to housekeeping staff. The location absolutely beautiful and holds so much history! Will definitely recommend the St. Anthony to other couples!

I would book this venue hands down! They did a fantastic job with my wedding and provided fantastic service to my husband and I!

If I could give the st Anthony and its entire staff from bell boys valet chef coordination front desk cleaning crew 1000 stars and above I would! I will never forget my wedding because of you! My husband was very weak those days and the way you took care of him and how chef changed our plates to meet his dietary needs was unforgettable! We love you guys!!!!!

Wendy was a fabulous planner. She was flexible working with a mother in Houston and a daughter in San Antonio trying to coordinate tastings, walk-throughs, dressing and photography schedules. She always had a smile and a can do attitude. When things were accidently left at the St. Anthony, she even brought them over to where we were. Above and beyond service! I really appreciated her.

Cy Kariminia, the banquet manager, was also amazing. He checked in with us while the girls were hanging out and brought us water and tea to help with nerves.

Both Wendy and Cy made sure the reception tables were ready, sign in table and bars were ready to go. I felt totally relaxed and felt like I had nothing to worry about except getting my daughter married to her sweet husband.

Thank you St Anthony, I could not have done it without you and your fabulous staff!

Having our wedding at the St. Anthony Hotel was a dream. From our first tour to our final walk through, everything was planned with ease. Wendy Haralson, event coordinator, helped us with every detail we needed assistance, and she made the entire process very easy for myself, the bride. On the day-of, the St. Anthony staff, Wendy especially, made sure everything we needed was perfect. Not to mention, the beauty and prestige of the St. Anthony. The combination of great staff and beautiful reconstruction truly make this the perfect venue!

Event coordinator Ms Wendy Haralson was fantastic in providing for our event. She monitored all the details and helped us put on a perfect wedding reception that my daughter will remember as one of the best days of her life! Ms. Haralson was there every step of the way. Great job by the entire staff and management of this beautiful hotel.

The staff at the Saint Anthony Hotel made our wedding day the most enjoyable experience. There was always someone to answer any questions I had and help in any way that was needed. The food was fantastic and the services was great. The hotel was beautiful and made our wedding day so special!

My husband and I choose the St. Anthony because of the historical beauty, which all of our guests just loved! But, the service was even better! My wedding day was stress free! and that is perfect for every bride!

The staff at the St. Anthony were all very professional and accommodating and when we had a crisis with the decorations they helped us to improvise so that none of our guests were aware of what had happened.

At every contact they were all helpful, cheerful and eager to provide excellent service.

Sara Wilson and her staff were perfect! I could not have asked for a better reception coordinator. She was amazing. The venue was exactly as I had imagined it in my dreams. Perfection!

My wedding at the St. Anthony was amazing. Everyone was incredibly helpful and accomodating! I would recommend them in an instant!

The hotel was so beautiful! We received so many compliments on the hotel, the food, and the service. The entire staff, coordinator, front desk, and bell men were very nice and very helpful. The cocktail hour started promptly and the entire reception and dance flowed very smoothly. We loved every moment!

Sara Wilson and her staff were wonderful. We had our wedding reception in the Anacacho Ballroom and Peraux Room with cocktail hour in The Peacock Alley. We loved the historic charm and elegance that The St. Anthony Hotel offered. They were able to accommodate our wedding of 315 people. My husband and I have nothing but great memories and experiences at The St. Anthony and highly recommend this reception venue.

The St Anthony Hotel was a perfect venue for our wedding reception. You can tell that the owners have invested some serious money into this iconic hotel to make it one of the best hotels in all of San Antonio. The entire staff was great to work with and they did a fantastic job in making our wedding reception a very memorable experience.

We signed the contract for the St Anthony hotel about a year prior to our wedding date and our hotel event planner worked with us throughout the entire year leading up to our special day to make sure that nothing fell through the cracks. The professionalism was amazing and it exceeded all of our expectations.

The hotels proximity to the Riverwalk was also a great benefit since we had a number of guests in from out of town who enjoyed Travis Park across the street along with all the amenities of the Riverwalk.

There is absolutely nothing that we would have changed about our venue or the way that we did our wedding. We would definitely choose the St Anthony Hotel again without thinking twice if we had to do it again.

This was my daughters wedding reception. She chose several stations for the food. Our only issue was the potato bar at the reception. If it is offered as a station - there should be a way to keep the food hot. The potatoes were not even warm- and then we put cold toppings on them. Not a good plan. But the chefs and servers took care of this problem immediately. But the rest of the food was amazing!!!!

Sara and her team are absolutely top notch!!! I would trust them with any event I chose to host at the St. Anthony Hotel. Thanks for making my daughters wedding so memorable.

The hotel was elegant and the food was delicious! Everyone complimented on the food and the service. The wedding coordinator was great, easy to work with and easy to get a hold of. The only complaint I have was that my cocktail hour did not start till 6:15 instead of 6:00 and the lights during my wedding reception kept turning on! Other than that, all was great.

Beautiful place, professional staff. Would not have chosen anywhere else. Just make sure you have a quick set up crew if you want to put in your own flowers, they only gave an hour beforehand.

The St. Anthony was absolutely amazing, our guest couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was. But Wendy is really the best part of having your wedding at the St. Anthony. She is so easy to work with and incredibly accommodating. She saved me from having lots of bridezilla break-down moments. No wedding is ever perfect but Wendy made sure it was perfect for me and my husband.

We chose to have the wedding reception at the St. Anthony because of the decadent old world feel of the hotel. In truth, I had fallen in love with the site years before I met my husband. I have always loved historical buildings and antique decor. The St. Anthony has all of these things and so much more. As an out of state bride, it was important to me that the venue included as many things as possible. The food, alcohol, cake cutting service, tables, linens, table settings, and even some of the decor was provided by the hotel. Having one source for all of these things was invaluable. They really took care of everything and are not near as expensive as you'd think with all of these items added in. We had our reception in the Pereaux Room, which was absolutely magical with its chandeliers, large tapestry, and ornate wood carving details. Wendy and the staff there at the St. Anthony are extremely professional and made sure that everything went smoothly the night of. And the food was delicious! The St. Anthony has been making bride and grooms' dreams come true for over a hundred years and I am sure they will continue to for a hundred years to come!

The staff was professional and attentive. One minor issue was the air conditioning seemed to be turned off at about 10:30 PM - It was promptly turned back on thankfully. Other then that, everything else was great.
