  18th Birthday Event

  Ana & her team went above and beyond to make sure that our event not only had what we needed, she graciously was available for any question via text, e-mail and messenger. She permitted us access to the venue as it was available to make sure we had our spacing/logistics right for our event.

  Highly Recommend for Intimate Outdoor Wedding

  A month ago we got married in La Finca TX. We were slated for a 400+ person wedding reception when the pandemic changed our plans. We searched for a place where I could stay with my family and hold a reception for 60 people outdoors. I found La Finca on Airbnb, later finding out through The Knot it is also an event space. This checked two boxes on my wish list. Being out of state, my then-fiance met with Ana and toured the grounds. He spoke highly of the meeting and the property. Since La Finca is a home and event space we think it is only fair to break up our review into multiple parts.
  
  The Home (aka La Casa): I stayed here for a whole week with my parents and brother. The house is beautiful and spacious. If you are looking for peace and privacy before the big day, then La Finca is the place. Take a stroll around the lake, sit on the swing while sipping tea, or use the fire pit to roast s’mores and just relax. The Fort Bend Tollway is behind the lake, however, it didn’t bother us at all. The house has a spacious, main bedroom that was used for my bridesmaids and me to get ready (the large mirror in the room came in very handy). The hall next to the house was used for all the bridesmaids, moms, and myself to get our hair and makeup done. It also doubled as a breakfast area for the family and bridal party. For any brides or grooms looking to host a private and intimate wedding, I would highly recommend staying at the house a few days before your event.
  
  Event Space: There is so much room - Five Stars! We were able to have a socially-distanced rehearsal dinner in the hall and on the patio, as well as utilize the patio the following day for our reception cocktail hour. We parked a vendor’s camper bar in the backyard and held our reception further back using the fountain in the lake as our backdrop. The large yard was great for our peace of mind since we didn’t have to worry about being cramped in an enclosed space. Our guests loved the space and kept asking how we found La Finca. Also, all of our vendors raved about the ease of working with Ana and how the space was great for parties.
  
  The Owners: The home and land are huge selling points but Ana and Ivan were what made our experience amazing! On a scale of 1-10, Ana and Ivan are an 11! Ana took the time to get to know us. She had my favorite dessert and flowers on my arrival and reached out to ask how she could help in the wedding process. One evening we needed someone to be at the hall to receive a delivery and she dropped her dinner plans to be there for us on short notice! We wanted our reception near the lake but their wifi didn’t work that far from the home. Comcast doesn’t service that area but Ana negotiated with a few internet providers and was able to get wifi for us near the lake so we could live-stream our reception! She and Ivan always responded quickly to our texts. One night they came by to help solve a minor lighting issue (we couldn’t find a switch which was right by another door, haha). She wasn’t just the owner of La Finca to us but more like a family member. We even requested her and Ivan attend our reception and celebrate with us.
  
  Overall, we couldn’t have been more thrilled to have found La Finca and met Ana and Ivan. The home was immaculate, the hall and land fulfilled all of our needs, and the owners went ABOVE AND BEYOND. We highly recommend La Finca for anyone looking for a private, outdoor, and hassle-free event!!!

  Would recommend if you are looking for an affordable and beautiful venue

  Ana and Ivan were amazing. Ana went above and beyond, was in constant contact with us and asking if we needed anything on a regular basis leading up to the wedding. She even took a bunch of pictures the day of and gave them to us. She was kind enough to let us come the day before to start setting up and Ivan worked all day the day before getting the grounds immaculate. My guests were even commenting on Ana’s kind demeanor and how much she actually cared about our big day. The grounds are beautiful and it’s such a large property with so many ways to bring your day to life. Would recommend to anyone looking for a venue. They’re also LGBTQ friendly which made it even better.

  Graduation Party

  The new owner Chizo made our experience very stressful and does not give ANY customer service at all. We had to use rectangle tablecloths on round tables because she said the round ones had not been cleaned in time for our event. If I could give them zero stars in my review I would. She made the whole event very stressful with threats and very limited replies. Additionally now that the event is over she refuses to refund my full deposit even though we cleaned up the property and ZERO damages! Thank god I took video of how we left everything. I asked for proof of what we damaged(pictures) which she never provided. This has been the worst experience for our graduation party I have ever had. Although the grounds are beautiful I would not recommend you rent this place due to the service issues.

  Hello Ms Maria, I am sorry to learn that you had an unsatisfactory experience with our service. We did our best to accommodate you although you were not on our schedule and you did not pay us for your event. Despite the recommendation from the cleaning crew, you were issued a full refund of your security deposit within days of your event. Our mission is to serve our customers by providing a great environment for their celebrations ( whatever the occasion maybe) And we will continue to strive for improvement. Accept my sincere apologies. Thank you.
