We got married here on 10/22, my husband and I thought a lot about this review before writing it. Because we understand Laura has a lot going on, but we paid over $6k for the venue...
, and it was not worth it. The venue is gorgeous and we can’t deny that.
First off, we met with Laura a month before the wedding she wrote down our decorations and vendors and said she would reach out to them. Our vendors never heard from her. At the rehearsal, she stated she lost the papers from the meeting and kept saying our wedding was on Monday, when in fact it was the very next day.
Secondly, the area where we dreamt about getting married was covered in fire ants. They crawled up my dress and I spent the entire night before my wedding and honeymoon in pain, they developed into blisters. Now I know they can’t control that, but I felt if you’re having an outside wedding venue, I assumed that would’ve been taken care of prior to our rehearsal. I was having to reach out the morning of the wedding to request they get taken care of.
Third, Laura stated when we signed contracts, and the meeting before the wedding that they would decorate. All I can say is, that wasn’t true. My husband spent most of the morning at the venue decorating, all they put up was tables, chairs, and the runners for the reception. Luckily the chairs for the ceremony had been set prior to his arrival that morning of our wedding. A majority of the decorations were set up by my husband and one of his brothers. It’s the day of the wedding, and it was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives and it was do to my husband and his brother and from the help Laura’s husband input in setting up the reception tables and such. On top of this my husband had to check where the ceremony would be and had to tell Laura’s husband there was still fire ant piles in that area. Her husband did manage to get the ants under control luckily prior to the ceremony. My husband had to throw in the towel and hope for the best mid afternoon because he still needed to go get ready for our wedding. Which he cut close since he spent a good part of the morning and afternoon setting and decorating for the reception.
Fourth, nothing was organized. She helped fluff my dress before I walked down the aisle, but that was it. My husband and I were supposed to have a private dinner to ourselves, because that’s what Laura said she would do for us, and we were having to call our groomsmen and family to bring us food. By the time it came, we only had a few mins before we had to enter for our reception. Also, apparently Laura was not feeling well leading up to the wedding and hired help, who honestly saved the wedding the best they could, but they could only do so much especially if the proper information wasn’t communicated to them. She never communicated to us that she hired help, so the day of, our vendors were calling me looking for Laura and she was nowhere in sight. I ended up leaving wedding items at the our house, because I couldn’t focus on anything. I couldn’t even get dressed immediately because I was putting out fires in the reception area. Even after the wedding, her husband was trying to claim some of our decorations were theirs. Thankfully my husband having decorated and set up a majority of the decorations himself with the help of his brother remembered which decorations were ours.
Lastly, we loved the scenic venue but we were disappointed overall with the experience and handling when it came to our wedding.

We had a great experience here even in the midst of a pandemic. Thank you to Laura and Stephanie for making our wedding amazing despite the crazy circumstances!
My daughter just got married here last week. It was perfect. The staff was really helpful. Laura was great to coordinate the wedding and rehearsal. During the reception, Stepha...
nie took care of everything.
I guess if I had to ping them on anything, it is the amount of time we had to decorate the day before the wedding. Yes, the venue is decorated, but if a bride wants to add/change to what is provided, 2 hours is hardly enough time.
Also, the hanging panels in the front of the stage are nice, but need to be rehung on heavy gauge fishing wire or some thing transparent instead of the twine they are currently hung with. I guess if the shabby/chic look is what you want, then they are okay. We just swagged them with organza and it was gorgeous.
Also, if you're on a budget, ask about "half price Wednesday"!

We were recently married at Garden Heights and what a wonderful chapel and reception hall! The location in Garden Ridge (NE San Antonio) was perfect for us and Laura and her experi...
enced team were fantastic to work with - they were very patient as we organized details and flexible with a few last minute changes. We had a rustic/garden theme with winter greens/white colors and the venue had several options for decorating that worked well. As much stress goes into planning a wedding, they helped us through the process and we were able to 100% enjoy our wedding day. As an added bonus, our guests let us know that they were continually charmed from the ceremony to the reception with little surprises as the wedding party ensued. Highly recommend!
Everyone was so nice and the chapel is breathtaking!

My daughter and husband were married here in January. I only had a couple of months to put the entire wedding together as my new son-in-law is going into the military. Laura was ...
extremely accommodating in helping me get everything lined up. The reception hall is very spacious with room for dancing and was beautifully decorated and although we did not utilize it, there is also a large outdoor deck for dancing as well. When I first saw the inside of the chapel, I just couldn't contain my emotions...it is absolutely lovely! And the fact that the location was easy for my guests to find and was only 20 minutes away from our house was a huge bonus too! Thanks to Laura and her staff, both the ceremony and reception went perfectly and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a beautiful wedding with a serene, country setting.
I would recommend the venue ONLY for the chapel NOT for the service. Chapel was not set up to decorate, A/C was not on for rehearsal, Unity candles were not pre-lit for ceremony, g...

Excellent experience! My son and his bride had the Chapel package and we were all very pleased with Garden Heights. The chapel is intimate and pretty and perfect for a small coun...
try wedding. In addition to a great place, it was the attentiveness of the Garden Heights coordinator that made it such a good experience. She didn't just "rent" us a chapel, she took us through the whole process and made everything much less stressful. Very professional but casual in her approach as well. I didn't expect as much attention as she gave us, especially at the rehearsal and of course on the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend this location!

ely perfect! Laura was an extraordinary coordinator and does any and everything she can to make sure her brides have a perfect day. She went above and beyond and kept me calm, assuring she knew what she was doing. It's great for smaller weddings and fit our party of 120 perfectly. I couldn't have asked for anything better and highly recommend this location!
Our wedding was March 25, 2017 and in 3460 characters, it was AMAZING, STRESS FREE, and MEMORABLE. Laura, thank you for such a wonderful day. You cared from the first time we wal...
ked through your door through cake serving (which you graciously took upon yourself) and even after the dance was full underway. You asked me if you could buy chips for my guests in case they were wanting a snack but mostly to ensure my guest were safe from an open bar. You showed me how much you cared about our special day. Ladies and gentleman, this venue will not over charge you. In fact, you will save money--Garden Heights has wedding decorations you will love, you have linens underlays included, church pew decorations, a wonderful coordinator who will offer you ideas and direction the Entire Time, spacious parking, a list of great vendors. I honestly hit the jackpot when we found Garden Heights. We were worried we would have to spend $600+ for a dance floor on the beautiful deck and Laura took care of it by putting a sturdy dance floor and we didn't have to worry at all! We are still receiving compliments on how the wedding was just so beautiful with a beautiful chapel, beautiful indoor reception, and beautiful outdoor dance. Laura's instructions at rehearsal took the stress and nerves out of the wedding. Brides--I know how much goes into planning, but Laura will think of things you never thought to think of...she will take very good care of you. All in all, I wanted to write this review mostly as a Thank You to Laura for such a wonderful day, and a guide for any ladies who just haven't decided where to host their special day. You will not regret your decision with Garden Heights.

the wedding and on the wedding day, she was there with me the whole time, making sure I had eaten, and that my hair wasn't falling! It was absolutely superb. Small hiccups usually occur during weddings but I didn't even have one setback! I highly recommend Garden heights!

I was online searching for wedding venues. Garden Heights was one of the first 3 places that popped up. I had seen other places before. they were beautiful, but when I clicked on t...
he Garden Heights website, I saw how convenient the location is. The Chapel, Terrace, and Hall, all in one location. I thought it to be so easy. But My then fiance were only looking for a small place to marry. After reading over all of the packages GH had to offer, I was hooked. However, my original choice was the Chapel package. Mind this was decision while looking online...I went to make an appointment. In due time, I received call from Laura for a tour of GH. The day came and I showed up. AMAZING is all I saw when I drove in. I fell in love with the quaint and charming scenery. I still had Chapel package in mind. Laura and sat and talked small details. But then she gave me a tour. We had met in the Hall, which is just so beautiful already. Simple and chic, but just as much lovely. Then we walked over to the Chapel. She asked to me wait outside while she prepared the final touches to the Chapel. She opened the door slightly, and invited me in. When I walked in, i knew i just wanted to have my ceremony in the Chapel. That was just the start. Laura went on to explain the little details, the more she talked the more eager I became to just book already. But my budget was on the line. After going over all of the packages, I could only tell Laura that I would have to get back with her about which package I wanted or rather "afford." To make that story short, we ended with the Dream package. Laura mentioned that she her staff would try to make the whole event stress free for the bride and groom. And they really did. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use the deck but only because it was a very warm day. None of us would have made it through the evening. A wedding in July, In Texas, Who would make it through a day so HOT?! With all that said, not everything went as planned. there were some changes here and there, during the rehearsal and even on the actual day. but we made it through the day. I am very simple person and really not an extravagant person. So as the evening went on i was only having a good time and happy that our families and closest friends were able to witness our union and celebrated with us. Everyone had such a wonderful time. Everyone loved how beautiful GH is. I t is the perfect set up. There were not many single people in the group but a few of my friends inquired about GH. One of my girlfriends made it a point to pick up some cards on the way for the evening.
Thank you Laura and Tamara for making my day stress free as much as possible. Your whole staff was wonderful and sweet, even the security guard. And they were all just so helpful and the end of the event.
There is so much I could detail about the venue, but you really have to see for yourself. It is just AMAZING!
We just got married on June 21,2016. We took a year to plan our wedding. Tamara and Laura were so helpful and accommodating! Talk about stress free! I've never planned a wedding b4...
and didn't know where to start. Tamara gave me all the insight and advice I needed. She also got together with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page.the day of the wedding everything was more than any fairytale I could have imagine! The lady with my wedding cake was in a car accident on the way to our wedding with the cake! Tamara and Laura are so awesome at the last possible minute upon arrival they were able to fix my cake and provide a cake stand! Since our crystal stand shattered in the accident. They such a great job I didn't know anything had happened. Until the next day when family told us. To all of the staff at Garden Heights we love y'all and no one could have given us a better wedding! If you are looking an amazing beautiful venue with the best staff in the world, look no further you have found it!
My husband and I got married here on May 13th, 2016. We loved working with Laura and Tamara and their staff was so nice! The location is beautiful and is great for weddings that ar...
e 120 or less. They can have up to 150 but it would be a little cramped so it really is best for smaller weddings. We loved how considerate and easy going these wonderful ladies are and that they were willing to work with our schedule.
The caterer that they work with also was really good and flexible.
The venue is a little rustic but not too country that you feel obligated to have a "burlap and lace" themed wedding. It is quaint and tucked nicely behind some businesses so that you feel like you are one your own little field. If you get married in the spring the property has a ton of beautiful blue bonnets! I was able to see them at one of my appointments there.
Tamara and Laura will do all they can to make sure you are happy and not stressed the day of your wedding. They really made the venue part of planning so easy. They will make sure that you don't forget anything that is happening at the venue; and check to see how the rest of your planning is going too.
My only critiques are that there is not a place for the bridal party to get ready on the property, so you will have to book a hotel or get ready at home before heading over. Also, the bride's waiting room is much smaller than the groom's and has no direct A/C, it receives it's A/C from the main room through the top openings so maybe ask them if they have a box fan to put in there if you have a summer wedding.
Our wedding day was truly picture perfect at Garden Heights. I could not have dreamed of a better place to marry my husband than in that little white chapel!
Oh! I almost forgot, there are plenty of restaurants and hotels near by, just plan ahead because hwy 1604 traffic can get really bad.
They were great!!!!! The experience was amazing I would totally recommend it to everyone!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect is the perfect word for how wonderful our wedding was at Garden Heights. The venue is so beautiful! It could not be any more perfect for a wedding. The chapel is lovely ...
and the staff is excellent- so prepared, friendly, and loving. They anticipate your every need and are on top of it before you ask. I love the fact that they "take all the stress out of the day, so you can just enjoy your wedding"... The reception hall is so lovely, and their prices are very reasonable! Thank you Laura and Tamara for the perfect wedding!!! We will treasure it always!
We had the most amazing wedding at Garden Heights. Laura saw that everything went smooth and easy. It is the most beautiful wedding venue I have been too. All our guests complement...
ed us. Laura worked with all the venders before the wedding date and during the wedding. We all had the best time. And lots of fun. I would highly recommend this chapel. Especially if you want a wedding that is special. We will have nothing but good memories of our wedding day.
Tamara and Laura helped to provide a beautiful setting for a very special day for Karen and myself. First of all, the location, layout of the grounds, and the reception hall were ...
quaint and picturesque. From the first meeting we felt relaxed and were able to discuss various ideas and options in planning our special day. They were easily accessible during the planning process. They heard what we wanted and were able to make wonderful suggestions on enhancing our vision.
The set-up and rehearsal time went very smoothly. They helped us create our vision in setting up the event center for the wedding. The were very accommodating in providing additional decorations that we did not plan on originally.
The center was ready for the decorating when we walked in and all went smoothly. On the day of the wedding - everything was ready on time. Tamara and Laura were keeping tabs on all aspects quietly in the background. They were helpful through the reception, cleaning up and straightening the food and guest tables. The bartender and security officer they provided were very courteous, polite and professional.
We would highly recommend Garden Heights Weddings & Events. They made our special day even more memorable!
My daughter had her wedding at Garden Heights in late August. From the first time we went to see the venue to the last guest left that evening, Laura and her staff were nothing but...
very accommodating and professional. The staff went above and beyond what was expected. I have recommended this venue and will continue to do so.
Words are not enough to express the satisfaction that I had working with Garden Heights. Especially Laura, I was able to work with her along the way, and I am so grateful for every...
thing that she did for us. She was by my side every step of the way, and she made sure everything was alright. Had the privilege to work with Tamara as well and the amount of help that she brought to the table was unbelievable. I am so very happy with how everything turned out. This is a beautiful venue, and they have so many things available to make your day wonderful. I would recommend this place a 100% and if I had the opportunity to go back in time and choose my wedding venue again, Garden Heights will be the chosen one. Thank you so much for everything Laura and Tamara, I am extremely happy with how everything turned out.
I had the best experience ever. They went over and beyond to make the most perfect day. I did not feel rushed and they helped me when I had a female emergency right before I had to...
walk down the aisle. She was discreet and prepared when I was not. lol If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. I had the best time of my life.
We had our wedding at Garden Heights and it was just wonderful. Our guests loved how quaint and charming the venue is. The chapel is just so sweet and the new patio was our dance f...
loor. Minimal decor is needed cause it's already so beautiful. The venue has a lot to offer which keeps hiring vendors to a minimum also. And I can't say enough about the staff. Tamara, Monica, and Laura were excellent! Very accommodating and kept track of all the details that a bride just can't keep up with. They made my wedding experience so much easier and enjoyable. Tamara was there by our side the entire wedding day and made sure everything went perfectly. I can't say enough how appreciative I am of all the staff. Thank you Garden Heights!!
We recently got married at Garden Heights, and it was wonderful! Stephanie is a pleasure to work with, and the entire set up is just amazing. I am so surprised still that we found ...
such an awesome place for such a great deal!
