Gardens at Old Town Helotes

e beauty of the venue. We did not have to decorate much because of its natural elegance. The owner and venue coordinators were a joy to work with and were always available when needed.

very clear, and you get SO MUCH with the cost of the venue rental- they don't nickle and dime you like other wedding venues do. They were also very flexible, which meant that we could choose all of our own vendors (though they did provide an excellent list of vendor recommendations, some of which we did choose). The grounds and house are beautifully taken care of, the bridal cottage is to die for- and most importantly, Vicky was always available when I needed to ask her a question. Planning weddings can be so hectic. Gardens at Old Town Helotes truly made my wedding a smooth process on their end, and it turned out beautifully. My new husband and I would choose the Gardens all over again. Good luck!

as the one for my wedding day. My husband and I loved how clean and open it is. The grounds are kept beautifully. Everything about this venue and the management is perfect.

all future brides!

of and months and weeks leading up to the day!

Country has to offer. The outdoor ambiance gives way to whatever theme the bride wishes to have - whimsical, white, holiday, country, rustic, modern. The outdoor pergola is the focal point of the ceremony and is perfect for the bride to meet her groom; very intimate, spiritual, and romantic. The seating arrangement is perfect and sufficient to seat guests of all numbers. I had a summer wedding so the venue allowed us to have chilled water for our guests. I loved this venue! I wouldn't have changed it for anything. Thank you again Jamie!!! and the lovely crew of the Gardens at Old Town Helotes

a way to make it work without making us feel too bad about it. Venue was very clean and a lot of people told Me how beautiful it was. Would recommend this venue to a friend! So beautiful and worth every penny.

entive. We were running a little behind schedule and Jaime did not wait to be told to do anything, she just handled it. Its easy to lose track of time and the order of events, but Jaime kept everything moving. The venue and grounds are gorgeous. I also liked having the flexibility to choose our vendors. Compared to other venues around town, Gardens at Old Town Helotes is an exceptional value.

o take care of anything we needed as far as set-up went. @1430 Went to get ready for the ceremony @1515-ish We were in the middle of getting ready and Christine brought out a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies to the bridal cabin for us (delicious) @1615-ish We were brought out back to prepare/line up for the ceremony. Throughout the evening Christine went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed from the DJ and his needs, to the caterer, the bartender and the security guard. Our bartender service came from Thirsty Bear Bar-tending and it was amazing, they predominately serve at the Gardens (suggested to us by the Gardens) and if you want to have an open bar...USE THEM, they allow you to purchase your own alcohol at a great price we paid approx. $300 for 100 guests. They have a new permanent light-up bar and they came fully stocked with juices at eye level for children. To continue.... Christine, along with my matron of events, brought out our cakes to display, due to the hot weather. She was very warm to all of my guests and family and even gifted us with a dance to Spice Girls- "Wanna Be" They had ample parking, and provided golf-cart services to all attendees, which came in handy when we were unloading and loading all vehicles. The Gardens told us basically, if there was anything we didn't want, leave it and they cleaned everything. They also kept items they were unsure in case we left anything behind. I had the most peaceful experience I could've hoped for. My husband and I don't do a lot of things for just us and aren't used to getting all that attention, but this day was something never forget and it truly beautiful.

was on July 25th of this year, and from the moment we met Vicky, we knew we were in good hands. She is kind, punctual in responding, and if she can't respond on time, she acknowledges it and apologizes. It doesn't happen repeatedly either. She is very professional and respectful in everything she does. She will make you feel like she truly cares about your event...because she REALLY DOES! In all the time I dealt with her, it was ALWAYS a positive encounter. Mr. Dempsey, the owner, is just the same. You're not dealing with a corporation here, they are people like you and me with one common goal: to have the best presentation and smooth running event possible! NOTHING went wrong at my wedding, and although Vicky couldn't be there, she found a replacement equally as qualified...beautiful young lady whose name I believe is Kristen. We forgot the garter, but Kristen helped us improvise making the moment funnier and funner! I was great! I STRONGLY urge you to at least consider this venue, and I am open to being contacted through Vicky if you'd like a more personal account of my experience. If you're a reasonable person with high attainable standards, you will NOT be disappointed. Whatever you do, please treat my Vicky with respect and love, and that is exactly the essence of her. ~Irene PS. I don't know exactly how much we paid because my hubby took care of it all, but I have an idea, and it was crazy reasonable for what you're getting!

nned. I would definitely recommend Gardens to future brides. My guests loved it and could not get over how beautiful this place is.We had amazing weather and had ceremony and reception outside. I highly recommend Gardens at Old Town Helotes.

oing to get married in a Catholic church so this venue in relation to Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church was less than a mile drive, which we arranged for shuttles to get from hotels anyway. I used the outside area of the venue and it was exceptional. We had a count of a little over 200, but with the end number around 180-190 it was perfect to use the round tables with 8 chairs instead of 10! The number one compliment we received from our wedding was how gorgeous the venue was with the background and ambiance. The GOTH family was wonderful, especially Vicki. She even went out of her way to send us a gift from our actual registry. I would give this place 10 stars for everything. Price, Service, Venue and amenities. This place played one of the largest parts in our wedding and it truly was the best day of our lives. The most important thing to us was to have great food, photographs and location and this place made our dreams come true.

cki was extremely nice and helpful since the very beginning! Our day could not have been more perfect without all of her help!

,was stuck in traffic.Vicki told us not to worry that she would play it on her ipod which play on speakers throughout the grounds. I would recommend Gardens at Old Town Helotes to any one.

ur wedding it did rain a little bit. We were able to have the ceremony outside and the reception inside. I was disappointed about the weather but the indoor venue was still so nice and they kept everything lit up for us outside too so we still got the same effect. Ms Kristen also helped the day of the wedding and she was so sweet. She helped me to organize picture taking, dinner flow, cake cutting, everything! She stayed until the very end of the night and helped organize our gifts and everything too. We paid about $3300-3400 for ceremony, reception, rehearsal, linens and nice white chairs inside. We were also able to use the bridal cabin to get ready which is also beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend this venue. The customer service you receive is worth the price alone. You definitely won't be disappointed.

ng day was perfect. Thank you Gardens at Old Town Helotes❤️ And thank you for my gift!

to, fulfilled every promise they made, and continuously made sure everything ran smoothly. I had no worries with them in charge.

d Town Helotes out. What a beautiful place to have a wedding. The Bridal Cabin is Great! You should check it out! Tammy M,

estions from beginning to the end. The actual day of our wedding I cannot say how helpful Vicki was from setting up to the very end of the night. She is such an amazing coordinator and is such a thoughtful/caring person!! She will go above and beyond to make brides, grooms, guests and many more feel comfortable and make sure everything is exactly what you expect, want, and much more!I would recommend this venue to anyone out there looking! Very affordable, welcoming, and such a beautiful place to get married!

much for making our wedding beautiful.

ens at Old Town they were the cheapest one with the most included. The bridal suite is recently built and beautiful! Besides the beauty of the venue, the staff was outstanding. Vicki Perkins is the venue coordinator and she will bend over backwards for you to ensure your special day is truly special! The day of my wedding, half of the flowers were missing and she was there to comfort me in a stressful situation. Throughout the night she was in constant contact with all the vendors making sure they were doing what we had wanted them to do and kept them on track with the schedule. I didn't have to worry about a single thing that entire night! And if she had any questions she made sure she asked me instead of assuming what I wanted. I can't thank her enough for doing all she did for me and my husband that day!

. I recommend The Gardens to anyone looking for a venue. I can not express enough how pleased I am with everything. The day went so smoothly and they were so helpful.

on and all the add ons done prior to my wedding made it even more beautiful. :)

ing moving. She knows weddings and has loads of advice but ultimately wants the wedding to be everything the couple wants. The morning of our wedding, it poured. There was flooding all across the city that was record-breaking. Fortunately, it was still safe to have the wedding at the venue. Vicky and her team moved the ceremony indoors. At the last minute, when the weather cleared up, they actually moved everything back outside for us. It was such a beautiful wedding! We're very happy with the way it all turned out!

ue no justice. We got married under the pergola, had cocktail hour on their outdoor reception area, and our seated dinner in the main structure. If you have under 200 guests, it is the perfect size for everyone to have a good "view" of the bride and groom. It's more or less a blank canvas without hideous wall coverings, flooring or other things that you sometimes have to battle against for design purposes. The Gardens provides a beautiful backdrop for your wedding ceremony, ceremony chairs, tables for indoor or outdoor use, sound system, microphones, linens, and even more for additional fees. Where my day of coordinator fell through, Vicki definitely picked up the slack.

ry last detail. When I had questions, she always was a delight to work with and came up with proactive solutions if I needed help finding something for the wedding. The venue is gorgeous and I can’t thank the staff of Old Town enough for all their help in making our day the best day of our lives. I assure you once you see the venue and meet the staff, you will know if its the right place for your special day.

urned into a wedding facility, with hardwood floors and beautiful gardens. The outside ceremony site with the pergola is beautiful, as well as the "back porch" where the old pool has been turned into the dance floor. All of the lights surrounding the dancing area set the perfect mood for a wedding! The inside space was great for the number of people we had - 150. We loved our experience with the Gardens at Old Town Helotes!
