Grace Gardens is such an amazing venue. Peggy, our wedding coordinator, helped us soo much. She’s such a badass to say the least. Grace Gardens offers the most essential in one spot without going through different vendors. Dj Frank gave life to our wedding. Our friends and families had such an amazing time. My husband and I also had the time of our lives. Thank you Peggy and Frank for all your work! I cannot express how grateful I’m for all your work!

Thank you for your kind words!
We're thrilled to hear that your wedding at Grace Gardens was such a memorable experience. Peggy and DJ Frank will be so happy to know they made your special day unforgettable! It’s always our goal to create a se...
amless and enjoyable experience for our couples, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of your celebration.
Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of happiness! 💫
We had our wedding at Grace gardens on August 31, 2024 in the white peak tent and everything was beautiful! Our wedding coordinator was amazing she was on top of everything! The only thing I was not pleased about was our dish we ordered… when we went to the tasting we tried the chicken Florentine and we loved it! Come wedding day we did not get chicken Florentine we got chicken when some type of sauce that was not creamy but you can clearly see the spinach and cheese… it didn’t look appealing to me and I had two bites of the chicken and just ate the sides…
My fiancé and I had the most extraordinary experience at Grace Gardens Event Center, and it is all thanks to Maria, our phenomenal wedding coordinator. We were in a unique and challenging situation, planning our wedding both virtually and in person due to our long-distance relationship. Maria's flexibility and willingness to accommodate our unconventional planning process were beyond impressive.
From the start, Maria was incredibly malleable with our appointments, seamlessly transitioning between in-person meetings and virtual consultations. She never hesitated to explain any concerns or charges and offered invaluable suggestions for the design of the tent ballroom. Her creativity and attention to detail transformed our vision into a stunning reality.
What truly set Maria apart was her dedication to making our day perfect. During the wedding reception and dinner, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even when unexpected changes arose or we needed an extra hand, Maria took the initiative, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. Her behind-the-scenes efforts did not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful for her hard work and dedication.
We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to DJ Frank and all the staff who helped make our wedding day a resounding success. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the event.
Thank you, Grace Gardens Event Center, for providing us with such a magical and memorable wedding experience. And a special thank you to Maria for making our dream wedding come true!
Any questions?
I want to give a huge shout to the Grace Gardens and especially to Peggy (my wedding coordinator) for being helpful and working with us from a distance. I gave her the colors and my vision of how I wanted everything to be and she just did that and better. Thank you for all your hard work! We loved the venue
My husband and I had an amazing experience at Grace Gardens! Our wedding coordinator Peggy Stein was helpful, patient, informative, organized, informative and supportive throughout our wedding planning. Our wedding day went extremely smooth and the entire Grace Gardens team made the wedding a success for us as the couple and for our guest. I thank Peggy and her team for helping us make our dream wedding become a reality!
My wedding came out so beautiful! The wedding of my dreams! Thankful for Abby (our coordinator) who helped us out throughout the whole process. Such a beautiful venue!
When selecting a venue for our wedding, we did not hesitate and knew Grace Gardens was where we wanted to have our special day. Aside from the venue’s natural and stunning beauty, the fact it was an all-inclusive type of venue was such a plus! Not having to schedule and coordinate every single vendor was the best part and truly takes a lot of the stress out of the planning process. The staff here at Grace Gardens was so easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how small. They were able to accommodate so many of our needs from food accommodations for allergens to personalized décor we brought in. Our event coordinator, Peggy Stein, was so amazing to work with from beginning to end! She left such an amazing impression on us from the moment we secured our deposit, I immediately told my best friend to inquire into the venue. Needless to say, she booked her wedding with Grace Gardens and scheduled her wedding date the week after ours, also utilizing Peggy as her event coordinator!
We booked the Pond Island Pavilion for the ceremony and the Gardner Ballroom, only a short distance away, for the reception both of which hosted 130(ish) guests. The Pavilion where the ceremony was held was set up beyond our expectations and such a beautiful space. Our photographer was able to capture its raw beauty which included the gorgeous scenery and water features. Our reception was held inside the Gardner ballroom, which is stunning in itself. The chandelier that overhangs in the middle of the dance floor was such an eye catcher and the bar inside the ballroom is so classy. We loved the fact everything was so personalized to our vision to include the colors we imagined. We choose to do an elegant, classic, black & white theme with hints of champagne. The way everything was set up, our guests felt like they were in a scene of an extravagant movie and could not stop talking about the place.
The food was absolutely delicious; So many selections made it difficult to decide! The entire staff to include our wedding coordinator Peggy Stein, florist specialist Veronica Valles, DJ John Carrera, all waiters and bar service (Ray) were so professional, accommodating, easy to work with and amazing at their jobs. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout and were so impressed by the dedication they have in this industry. Specifically, to our wedding coordinator Peggy Stein who ran the entire event flawlessly! We love you, Peggy!!
Thank you again to the amazing staff at Grace Gardens for making our wedding day so spectacular!
10/10 recommend the Grace Gardens to anyone who want an unforgettable event! Beth, our coordinator, was amazing! She had everything done before we even thought of it! She was such an immense help and kept
Us calm and worry free through the whole process! Our wedding was done at the pond and the views were gorgeous! DJ Frank was our events DJ at the Gardner and he knocked it out of the park! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at the Grace Gardens!
Thank you Grace Gardens for helping me make my wedding a dream come true. I am beyond thankful to everyone that took part in my special day. The venue itself is elegant and beautiful. The customer service was extraordinary, from the planning to the day of my event. Peggy was our coordinator; I am thankful for her patience, guidance, knowledge, and coordination for my event. You won’t be disappointed with upgrades or food. The quality of food and cake is high. With the research and organization I did, grace gardens is the best venue in El Paso.

Get yourself a coordinator like Peggy Stein and get yourself a venue like Grace Gardens for your wedding. They not only made our day magical but the planning process was so easy. Peggy knocked out any issues that came up the day of, leaving us stress free. Thank you Peggy & the team at Grace Gardens!
There are truly not enough words to express our gratitude to the ALL the staff at Grace Gardens for the magical event they organized for us. Abby orchestrated everything beautifully. She is an EXCELLENT events coordinator, who guides you every step of the way and provides great recommendations. She is very professional, patient, organized, talented, responsive, and detail oriented. She works with a smile and she transmits the peace you need to put on an important and meaningful event. I was truly blessed and lucky to have her as an events coordinator, and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her for your special day.
I would also like to recognize Veronica and her floral team for the AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements they made. She guided me in selecting the right flowers, and she provided excellent advice. She is so talented that she was able to take the picture I had in my mind about the look I wanted for the event, and she brought it to life. She too has all of the wonderful qualities that Abby has, and they both ensure that your event is even more special than you expected.
I too would like to thank the talented Benir who made the GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS cake, the chef, his kitchen team and wait staff for the fun tasting and for the DELICIOUS meal they prepared. Abby also provided the best recommendations to make the event even more memorable, and each one was WONDERFUL to work with. They include: DJ Frank (great music, lighting and special effects), One Board Chick (beautiful and delicious charcuterie boards), Javier Jimenez (video/photography), Skyline Photo (telephone and photo booth), Omar Alvarez (Margarita Machines) and Dear Sweet Events (delicious elote cart).
Our event was truly breath taking and magical, but in addition, I very much enjoyed every meeting, every phone call and the entire process leading up to the special day. To the staff, feel very proud of the work that you do, because your work touches lives in unexplainable ways and to the owners, you have the BEST team and event center in El Paso. Congratulations on having such a beautiful facility, not only physically but in the staff that you have. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU and may God bless you.
I worked with grace gardens for a bit over a year to plan our wedding, we first had Abby as our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely amazing, she listened to all of our concerns and wishes and she made it happen how we wanted to! We then had Peggy 2 weeks away from the big day and she was perfect, it was as if she had been with us from the start! The day of she was very communicative and fun! We would turn and look at her and see her also having fun. Our day went so smoothly and perfect thanks to the Grace gardens team! Our DJ Frank was hands down the best DJ we could've been paired with! He communicated with us from the beginning and made the night so much fun. We heard from everyone that night that they loved him and how he kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. The waitstaff and bartender were all so nice and attentive to not only our needs but our guests as well. Working with grace gardens and their team was so easy and lovely.
Veronica was exceptional, guiding us through the process going above and beyond personally making sure everything was ready for our special event. Veronica was amazing at making sure everything was planned out exactly the way we wanted it. Veronica went over the top at making sure everything was ready for my daughters big day which was amazing and unforgettable! Abby helped making sure the day ran smoothly and the venue was beautiful!! ♥️
Maria and DJ Frank and all the team at Grace Gardens Event Center are incredible! Everything ran so smoothly. Maria was always available to chat prior to our daughter’s Quince and helped us with everything. Maria is very professional, available, flexible and very organized. Maria, I couldn’t thank you enough for making my daughter’s special day such a breeze. Thank you for all the extra effort and the added touches that you've done to make everything come together. We really really really appreciate everything that you've done for us.
DJ Frank was very thoughtful and professional in his planning and collaboration with us prior to the Quince. Frank kept everyone on the floor the entire night. He made our event so fun. Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun the Quince was and how they had such a great time.
The ballroom looked amazing! The food was delicious, everything was perfect. You are all amazing and I wish you all success and awesome projects and events in the future. Thank you Maria, DJ Frank and all the Grace Gardens team for being part of Tina’s Quince!
Our wedding was absolutely epic!! It was truly amazing and Veronica our Event Planner was just as amazing. The decor was exceptionally stunning. The staff was organized and helpful. I would highly recommend Grace Gardens to anyone planning a special event. Our event was held in the tent and it was absolutely gorgeous!! We wish we could do it all over again!!! It was the best day ever!!
Abby Garcia was soooo helpful throughout the entire planning process, down to the day of the wedding. She was patient and understanding whenever I made changes. She made sure that I received all the help that I needed and if she was busy at any moment, she always provided us with backup. When it came down to the day, Abby felt like a friend and I think that’s what made this entire experience even better. Elias and I are both so thankfully, truly. From the bottom of our hearts
Thank you for everything
Priscilla was our coordinator and she was very attentive. She made sure everything was detailed to our understanding and still took care of all our worries. During our first dance we had a little hiccup but she was quick to recover and we continued to enjoy every bit of our night. Her patience and understanding when we chose something a bit different with the decor was very appreciated. Florist made sure they pertained to our dark colors. Everything was great. A night to remember forever.
Our wedding at Grace Gardens was everything we imagined and more! Our coordinator Maria was amazing -- her calm and friendly demeanor definitely helped us feel at ease during the planning process and on the day of our wedding! We did not have to deal with any last-minute issues or questions -- all we had to do was say: "Go talk to Maria" and she had it handled! Thank you so much for making our day as memorable as can be. With gratitude, The Ruezgas.
Our daughter's wedding at Grace Gardens was absolutely beautiful! Abby, our coordinator, was wonderful to work with. The ballroom decor was perfect and so well done! Abby was easy to work with and very helpful with every detail of planning. We had some last-minute changes to our ceremony plans due to weather, but Abby had a solution, and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The servers were very polite and did a fantastic job. The food was excellent. The cake was beautiful. The DJ did an excellent job, and the flowers were perfect - just exactly what my daughter wanted. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. They were also really quick to pack up and get us on our way after the reception ended. I would highly recommend Grace Gardens. I think they did an amazing job and were very reasonably priced. A special thank you to Abby for her hard work and a special thank you to all the people at Grace Gardens that made my daughter's wedding so special. We had a wonderful evening.
Grace Gardens is beautiful, it was everything and more for us, Beth was absolutely amazing. She made the whole process stress free. She is the BEST coordinator!!! The food was delicious, and Frank the DJ was the best! Knew what to play for our guests. If I could give them more stars I would.
Frank Pino is a great DJ and my wedding at Grace Gardens was perfect. Amazing place and staff.
First off, I absolutely loved this venue as well as the staff. Everyone from the coordinator to the waiters and waitresses, and DJ! Everyone was great! Maria, our coordinator made sure everything was done to a T and that we were happy throughout! Frank, the DJ, was spot on with the music, and made sure to speak to us ahead of time to ensure that all of our needs were met! Everything was amazing, and we are still receiving compliments to this day!
Loved how my wedding came out!!! Rosie the court coordinator did a great job organizing everything n making it extremely special. Frank the Dj was awesome n kept great communication. With me. The flowers were beautiful thanks to Ivonne. Very beautiful outcome! Ty
The venue is beautiful! With all this COVID 19 going on our wedding was still beautiful and everything I could have ever wanted!!! My coordinator Beth Bokal was amazing!! She went above and beyond what I expected to make my wedding turn out perfect! Yvonne with flowers did an amazing job!!! All the staff was safe, extremely polite, and did a wonderful job keeping my guests comfortable and happy with their needs! DJ Frank did an awesome job keeping the party up beat and fun!! I can't thank all the staff that helped with our wedding enough for everything they did!! I would definitely recommend people to have their wedding here or any event they are planning!! I just can't express what a wonderful experience I had here enough!!! Thank you again Beth, Frank, and ALL the staff for everything!! Your guys ROCK!!
Beautiful venue, there were some issues with communication, but the day of our planner went above and beyond to make sure everything looked perfect and went smoothly!
Don't bother contacting them unless you are a male-female couple. If they find out you are gay or non-binary they will refuse service due to the owner's bigoted beliefs.
Our reception and party was held at the Grand Ball room at Grace Garden. The venue was beautiful and very well done! Hannah was our planner and she was on it!! The food was delicious and all of our guests love it! DJ Frank killed it and kept our guests dancing the whole night. He played exactly what my wife and I requested and made it fun all night. We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking
Our wedding reception was held in the grand ballroom at Grace Gardens. It was definitely a night to remember. Andrea, our coordinator, was very helpful and eager to answer any questions with the planning of our big day. My husband and I live in San Antonio and she made it easy to plan the wedding even though we don’t live in the area. DJ Frank did a great job with playing the music we had requested and kept the crowd dancing all night long. Ivonne, the florist, was very patient with my many questions and last minute requests when it came to the design of the floral arrangements. Lastly, everyone kept talking about how delicious and tasty the food was. We could not be more happy with the decision that we made to have our reception at Grace Gardens; it was all so perfect and beautiful!
We had our reception in the white peak tent, and it was exactly what we had envisioned. Andrea was very helpful in coordinating our big day and made sure our concerns were heard. Everything turned out as we had planned and discussed for the reception, she even remembered little details my husband and I had forgotten about. It was nice not having to worry about what came next. The wait staff was very attentive, the bartenders were friendly, and the food was delicious. Once the dance started, it was very apparent DJ Frank knew exactly how to get a party started and keep it going. He listened to all of our song requests and incorporated them into the evening flawlessly. My husband and I, our families, and our friends did not leave the dance floor, it was a very fun and exciting night!
Thank you again to everyone at Grace Gardens who made our big day truly unforgettable!
My husband and I absolutely loved this venue as well as our planner Vanessa. Wonderful and helpful with the planning and any changes that we made to floor plans as well as the food. Our guests loved the catering and we had no problems with any of the orders and all the food was great tasting. The DJ had all of our guests dancing the entire night and was very intuitive to keep the moment up and everyone on the dance floor. We plan on continuing to use Garce Gardens for our upcoming celebrations and would highly recommend them!
Had my daughter’s Quinceañera and loved it there. Hannah was our planner and she is the best!! Ivonne made our beautiful centerpieces, which were a delight for everyone eyes! The music, simply awesome!! It was non stop dancing all night. Thank you Frank for being an awesome DJ!! Highly recommend this venue. Its my second event there and won't be my last!
We had both our ceremony and reception at grace gardens! Everything was beautiful and went smoothly! The food was delicious and the service was really professional! The decorations were exactly what we wanted!! You really do get what you pay for this venue! The only thing that I did have issues with was the DJ he did not play everything on our list. And our flowers were a little late for delivery we could not find the coordinator for them. I would recommend that they be a little more clear on the floral pick up.
My spouse and I had our wedding ceremony on the pond island followed by the reception and party at the grand ballroom. All the details (specifically our champagne ruffled tablecloths, table layout, and centerpieces) were exactly how we wanted them. The coordination and planning workload was greatly reduced with the help of Sally Salcido. Sally was extremely helpful, friendly, attentive, and very professional. Grace Gardens organized a day my spouse and I will remember always.
Held my parents 50th wedding anniversary in June 2018 and my boys' baseball banquet in May 2018....both events were lead by Sally Salcido....the most amazing event planner!! Both events came out without ONE hiccup!! The food was amazing!! My brothers and I went all out and allowed Grace Gardens to do their thing, from dessert table, to dinner, etc. They didn't disappoint. The DJ, Frank, was awesome! He had everyone dancing all night. I can't express how happy I am with the way both events turned out. The owners love to give back to the community and allow local schools to hold their end of year events during the week and only charge for the food. They work with any budget and also throw in the center pieces. They aren't greedy and it says a lot about an organization that continues to give back to the community year after year. We have been holding our school events there for the last 5 years. Kudos to El Paso Grace Gardens!
I can't complain about the day of my wedding. Everything came out good and all the details were perfect. The only complaint I have is that the coordinator was rarely available. Every time my husband and I would call her she was either busy or not there. I constantly had to call her myself to see what was the next step and to see what else I needed to do. Also, a week before my wedding I paid everything and she even told me everything going was paid and my balance was cleared. The day of my wedding she charged me an extra $100 that I had supposedly not paid for the bartenders when she had previously told me it had already been included in my final cost. I ended up just giving her the money cuz I didn't want to ruin my wedding day but I didn't think that was professional at all. Other than that, the decorations were just what I asked for and not to mention the venue and ceremony area were beautiful.
My wedding was a mess! My coordinator was nowhere to be found the entire night and when I did find her, she was always clueless. The sound for the ceremony was awful, you could hardly hear the music and much less make out the lyrics. They assigned me the worst DJ! Not once did he play what I asked him for and he only played one genre the entire night. The only time I got to dance at my own wedding was at the end of the night when he put all the line dances one right after the other. The lights went out due to a storm and they had no generator and reacted so slowly. My guests and I were left with no music for about ten minutes and it was the most embarrassing thing. I paid so much money for this venue, expecting for everything to turn out as close to perfect as possible but that was not at all the case. So many things went wrong the entire night and not once did I feel at peace. The servers had no respect for the bride's suite and they were letting everyone go in there. There was a guest who had to change their baby in my bridal suite because Grace Gardens does not provide a baby changing station in the guest restrooms. Aside from everything going wrong and nothing being under control, the food was the only thing I could say was good. Overall Grace Gardens is beautiful but the service is awful and I do not recommend this venue at all for a wedding.
Beautiful location but me and my fiancee could not plan our wedding location here because they do not allow gay and lesbian weddings. Very disappointing, especially in this time in society. Everyone in El Paso is accepting and to have someone discriminate us was unbelievable.
Very disappointed. I thought at this point in time they would be more open to gay and lesbian weddings. But it was the saddest thing to get turned away from my dream venue, because “per policy they don’t allow lgbt wedding.”
Very happy with Grace Gardens. Handled hiccups well, addressed all of our concerns, and at the end of it, we had an absolutely gorgeous wedding and all of our guests had an amazing time! Thank you for taking such good care of us, Grace Gardens!
Grace Gardens by far exceeded our expectations. Everything was wonderful, decor was just like we requested, dinner was perfect, and the service was amazing. Dino is an exceptional DJ he kept us dancing the whole night. Ivonne did an amazing job with the decor it was just like we had imagined if not better. Finally, Daisy our coordinator was on top of every single detailed through out the planning and during that night. I couldn't have done it better myself. Thank you guys for an amazing night, we had a blast
If you are looking for a romantic outdoor wedding, Grace Gardens is the ideal venue. The staff is professional from the event coordinator to the florist, you will be in good hands. I never felt doubtful of their services. Words can’t describe how I felt when I first saw the wedding setup, definitely exceeded my expectations. It truly was the wedding of my dreams!
Amazing experience! Our family traveled all over the country for our wedding and Grace Gardens was some people's first experience of El Paso. We could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator, more professional staff and gorgeous venue. Their accommodating mannerisms made us all feel like family and would highly recommend to anyone expecting top-notch service. We truly loved the overall process as Sally made it worry-free and smooth.
Andrea was absolutely amazing, and helpful in every aspect of planning the wedding. She went above and beyond my expectations. The day of the wedding everything was exactly as I had wanted it, if not better. The florist had beautiful work and the dinner was better than I had remembered from the tasting. It’s a beautiful venue with breathtaking scenery.
I had my dream wedding at Grace Gardens! Everything from the first day visiting the venue, until the last hour in the reception, was exceptional! Our event coordinator, Andrea, was very helpful and so gracious with every detail, which made our special day a very memorable one. Would totally recommend to a friend!
Grace Gardens has a beautiful landscape and the perfect backdrop for the ceremony. We had the Gardner Ballroom for our wedding and it was beautiful. The food was great and the purchase price for beer was reasonable. Our coordinator Victoria was an angel. Being an out of town couple, she was amazing at answering emails, following up with requests, and being accommodating for our few and short trips to El Paso beforeour wedding. I cannot praise enough how professional and amazing she was through the whole event. We had a worry free and amazing wedding thanks to her.
First and foremost let me start by saying I would strongly recommend grace gardens for your wedding venue. My now husband and I both live in dallas however the majority of our family and friends were in El Paso, as such we wanted to get married there. As an out of town bride I was incredibly impressed overall with their assistance throughout the entire process. They were always helpful and always flexible which was paramount to being an out of town bride. Sally my coordinator was fantastic! I emailed and called her a ton with questions or changes and she was always very attentive and would get back to me quickly as possible as well as make time for me for follow up appointments when I was in town. During the rehearsal and day of she was a god send and made everything go so smoothly. If there was a problem I surely never knew about it because Sally was on it. Yvonne the florist through the venue is great! She had a lot of fabulous suggestions since I’m an indicisive person. She really helped create what I was dreaming my flowers and tables would look like. Additionally, The venue graciously offers djs which I thought was so cool! One less thing for me to do. I had Frank, he was super fun and funny. He did a great job of setting the mood the whole night and keeping things flowing. The food that is offered through the venue is also very yummy. We had our heart set on bbq which wasn’t necessarily on their standard plates, however if there’s something, really anything you have in mind they will work with you on it to make all your dreams come true. Lastly one of the most important things for me was trying to stay within budget. All my brides out there will agree that this is really hard and sometimes very frustrating.... that said everyone at grace gardens was very helpful in that aspect always giving multiple price points and options to assist me and help me stay within budget. As you can tell I have nothing but great things to say! Go and make an appointment and check it out for yourselves. You won’t be disappointed.
A lil about us, we live 9 hrs away, I wanted to get married in Texas but my husband’s 89 year old grandmother couldn’t travel to us so I searched for places in Texas closer to her in Deming. I found Grace Gardens online and fell in love with the pictures! I called, Sally was my first contact and she walked me through everything and emailed me all the details. I decided to go visit so Sally squeezed me in last minute and totally had patience as I had 5 kids with me on this adventure. I wanted lime green and coral roses and Ivonne made it happen. I wanted a small but beautiful wedding, they helped me pick everything and finalize it all in less than 2 hours! The rest of the minor details we took care of through calls and emails. The day of my wedding I showed up with a huge tote full of decorations and I was literally almost late to my own wedding! I was so stressed on how my reception would look without all the decorations that I had packed. Sally took the tote (which I had no idea happened) while I was walking down the isle Ivonne and the other staff decorated with my decorations...I walked into THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RECEPTION WITH EVERYTHING PERFECTLY PLACED!!! I literally almost cried because I had no idea they got the tote out of the car!! Frank WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST DJ EVER!! He spent many nights talking to me til midnight or later setting up the playlist, he also said he would stand in as the best man when we had an unexpected tragedy with our original best man just days before the wedding! He played all the songs I asked and they flowed so well the way he mixed them up!! I told him the story of how my husband proposed to Snoop Dogg ringing in the new year and he insisted we play “the next episode” as a surprise to my husband during the guarder toss..I was hesitant but agreed and IT WAS PERFECT!! My husband’s face was hilarious as he knew why that song was playing and everyone else had a look of mass confusion, IT WAS PRICELESS!! I literally did not have to do anything besides get myself ready and to my wedding, Grace Gardens did all the rest for me! I loved how we had access to take pictures all over which gave us amazing scenery in our unforgettable day!! We chose to do appetizers and the quesadillas WERE AWESOME, THE ADULTS AND KIDS LOVED THEM!! I highly recommend Grace Gardens, if you want a stress free and perfect event!! Sally, Ivonne, Frank and the rest of the Grace Gardens staff were more THAN AMAZING!! They made my wedding THE FAIRYTALE WEDDING...it was MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I DREAMED IT COULD BE!! Grace Gardens definitely EXCEEDED MY DREAMS AND MY DAY WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! I can’t thank Sally, Ivonne, Frank and the rest of the staff enough!! I will forever cherish the memories of my perfect wedding day!! I forgot to add they did all this with less than 8 weeks from the time I first contacted Sally to the day I said “I Do”!!!
Everything was amazing! Our coordinator, Victoria, was awesome in making the reception smooth and ensure we didn't have to deal with some last minute small issues. The location is on the west side, with amazing views of the Franklin Mountains. The venue has great areas for photos, with a nice fountain to serve as a backdrop. The food is amazing, and they have a large variety of options for your reception. Indoor and "outdoor'(a air conditioned tent) are available, and the decor they provide is top notch.

Grace gardens staff was so helpful for anything you need and everything you want. They work with your budget and I really recommend this place. Very beautiful, just what I dreamed of and was so happy to see on how lovely and beautiful they decorated
As the mother of the bride I wanted to give my daughter the perfect wedding in the perfect setting and Grace Gardens delivered! Our wedding coordinator Rosie could not have been more helpful and accommodating! The food was fantastic as was the service from the staff! Everything from the ballroom to the grounds, the linen selections and place settings were top notch! I highly recommend Grace Gardens you won't be disappointed!
My wedding was so beautiful! Everything went as planned and the service was great. The food was phenomenal and my husband and I enjoyed it to the fullest. The dj was on point with our music selection. Everything was on time. Usually people compliment on how you look and they were also complimenting on how gorgeous the venue was and how well organized it was. I want to thank my wedding coordinator for making it so easy for us and helping us out the way she did. If I could do my wedding all over again I would.
This place is one of a kind in El Paso. It rained the day before, but my event coordinator (from Grace Gardens) helped problem solve. She was also on top of everything, which allowed me and my close family to enjoy the wedding. Our photographer got some amazing picture shots with the sunset in the background. We held our wedding outside and the reception inside the tent. It had a romantic feel to it. The price is higher than other venues in the area but if you can splurge it, the service and quality was great. I highly recommend this venue!
It goes without saying that weddings are one of the most significant days in our lives. As for my experience Grace Gardens took part in enhancing not only my experience but my family and friends, some of which traveled far to be there the day of the wedding. From day one I felt that I was very well informed and aided with organization. Our wedding coordinator Araceli was amazing and lead my mother in law and I through every process with meticulous care. Despite the fact I lived out of town the Grace Gardens team was always reliable via E-mail and phone.
The day of the wedding everything was on point. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for all that Grace Gardens did to make my day and my families day special. The service, food, organization, music, drinks and cleanliness was impeccable. There is nothing I would change to make it better for it was perfection.
I will forever be grateful to the Grace Gardens team for participating in creating a dream into reality. I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to celebrate my wedding at this venue. I HIGHLY recommend the venue to anyone looking for beauty and quality service.

As the mother of the groom I also wanted the most beautiful wedding possible as my son and daughter in-law. After looking for many places and options, we decided that Grace Gardens offered the outstanding amenities that exceeded our expectations. From the variety of menus to choose from for the reception to the breathtaking landscaping and lake for the beautiful wedding pictures. The comfortable bride and groom suite provided was certainly one of the many amenities enjoyed by the bride and groom! Grace Gardens wedding coordinator was well prepared to guide us and offered a wide range of options to fit our budget and still make the event an unforgettable one. We have received many compliments by family and friends that attended the wedding of the beautiful ballroom and the elegance of it ALL!
I truly feel fortunate to have chosen such a beautiful place to hold an unforgettable wedding event.
I visited many, many venues in El Paso, Tx before picking Grace Gardens. I picked Grace Gardens for many reasons:
- They offer amazing wedding coordinators to assist on your journey to the big day.
- There food is amazing! During our tasting it was very hard to pick what we wanted to serve our guest because everything was truly amazing.
- They offer everything you need to plan a wedding. A bride has to do very little outsourcing.
I am truly thankful for the staff at Grace Garden’s. My wedding was everything I ever dreamed of and it was mainly because of everything you all did for us. Hands down this is the best wedding venue you could pick in El Paso, Texas.
The venue is beautiful. But my Experience was awful. From rude coordinator, to inflexible location. They ended up putting the wrong type of linen the day of my event without my knowledge. Once I got there it was to late to change because guest were arriving already. No apologies nor anything. Stay away!
Response from the Vendor on 08/01/2014
"I regret to hear your experience with us did not meet your expectations. As with all our clients, I hope you know that we strive to provide the best service possible and will do everything in our power to accommodate and service you and your ...
family. Nevertheless, this review comes as a surprise to us; we would have responded immediately to any issues. You were at our venue the day prior, for rehearsal, and saw the completed set up; you were satisfied with everything and requested a few additions. We took care of these at no additional cost. Two weeks after the wedding you came into the office with your husband and again did not express any issues, you just wanted to know if there were any “loose ends” to take care of. We would have corrected any issues and/or apologized if we had been notified. Again, I regret how you feel and I sincerely wish you well in the future as newlyweds."
The perfect venue for an outdoor wedding!
The place was lovely, but the whole experience was unpleasant. The wedding coordinator was never there when needed. They mess up orders and then blame it on the bride and groom as "misunderstandings". Food was cold and not nearly as good as when we had the food test. All these proves that you can have the best setting in El Paso, but in the end, I recommend people choose somewhere where all your attentions will be met instead of a shiny place.
Grace Gardens may seem expensive at first, but they included everything but cake and flowers. However, it is my understanding now that they have hired a pastry chef and are now including cakes AND flowers in their service options. Planning my wedding from a different city was stressful, but Alice at Grace Gardens really helped keep me stress free. Very professional and great communications. The event turned out wonderfully. All the decor was clean and beautiful. The staff was amazing, and the food was delicious! Really great people to work with. We had a blast. My only complaint is the DJ was not as good as we'd hoped. However we were able to save money on an open bar. They allow you to bring in your own alcohol which saved us thousands!
We held our wedding and reception at Grace Gardens and it was a fabulous venue. Our wedding coordinator Sally was great- from the first time we met until we walked out of the wedding at the end of the night! What a beautiful setting and a fun wedding we had!
Absolutely amazing!! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect!
Grace Gardens was very helpful, attentive, and patient throughout the planning process. Our wedding coordinator, Alice, was great! She had an inmense amount of patience with our wedding planning since we were planning our wedding from out of town; Ohio. It helped a lot that Alice our wedding coordinator was there for the entire event, supervising that things went according to plan and that we kept our schedule! Planning with her was very easy going and she is very knowledgeable in her field!
The venue was organized how we requested, the food was magnificent (presentation and taste), the DJ was great at keeping the party going throughout the night!
We had nothing but compliments about our reception/dance site. They went out of their way to please us. Everything was beautiful and flawless. Ask for Sally. Very professional.
I absolutely loved this venue. The coordinator assigned to me was amazing and took care of all the details. I loved the location and the scenery, everything was beautiful and the staff was so helpful and accommodating.
There was a man made lake that was great for pictures. The staff treated us like their own and catered to our every need.
