Hidden Pines | Lake Houston by Walters Wedding Estates

lot of great ideas and options to the table throughout the planning process. There were times I wasn't sure of what I wanted and Phoebe was very helpful in providing suggestions which led us in the right direction. There were times that I felt the communication and the timing of follow-up was lacking a bit but she definitely pulled it out in the end, which I'm very grateful for. I know this industry can be stressful, demanding and super busy for these ladies, so I appreciate her willingness to redirect focus on me when the time came. Thanks, Phoebe!

She made planning really easy and comforting!

wait for this party!!

m Kristy. I highly recommend this place!!! It’s beautiful, elegant, and at a great price.

ison is our coordinator is so thorough! She has helped me keep the stress level down. She has been amazing through this process and can’t wait to continue to work with her until the wedding date!

ation, not too far outside the city and somewhat near IAH. The venue also is next to a golf course, so keep that in mind with planning the time of your wedding. We would also suggest that you check the weather to determine you can have the ceremony inside or outside. We hoped for outside but due to rain a couple days before that was not possible despite clear skies on our day. Luckily, the venue has beautiful ceremony options for both inside and outside, and we were able to take great pictures outside. The venue staff was very responsive with all of our questions leading up to the event, especially Sheila. Our only suggestion is to also have detailed plans on your own if possible. The venue included a day-of coordinator, but it may ease planning if there is another helper to coordinate all the small details and maintain the overall vision from the start of planning through to the day.

rocess as easy and stress free as possible. We were really looking for an all/mostly inclusive venue so we wouldn't have to worry about coordinating and bringing in a bunch of different vendors. Everything that was in house at Hidden Pines (DJ/photobooth, catering, bar, tables/chairs/linens) was great but wanted to give a special shoutout to DJ Alexander. He was so fun and had the perfect playlist for our party and kept people on the dance floor all night which was so important to us! Also, our bartender (unfortunately I didn't get his name) was excellent. I believe we were supposed to have 2 but one didn't show up so I was worried the bar would be slow and people would be waiting in line but he absolutely killed it! And the 2 signature drinks we got to choose were delicious. Also, our guests made so many comments on how beautiful the venue was and how well designed and comfortable it was. So many people told us that our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to and it would not have been possible without Nicole and her team. We are so grateful to everyone at Hidden Pines for helping us make our wedding day the best ever!

made the planning and preparation so easy to navigate, and always responded to our questions quickly. She helped carry out a day with many moving parts effortlessly. THANK YOU so much Nicole and to all the staff. Each of you helped contribute for day to exceeded. My daughters and I will cherish the memories of that day forever! The venue's buildings and grounds are so beautiful.

day. Extremely attentive as well! It’s unfortunate that I didn’t have my reception here, but I highly highly recommend this venue!!!

e, Ms. Sheila, was unlike any coordinator that I have ever encountered. Her class, style, patience, communication, and professionalism are the heartbeat of this grand estate. From beginning to end she exuded confidence and assisted in guiding us through the entire process with sincere care and honesty. Sheila's perfectionism, organization, and attention to detail made our event beyond stunning! Family and guests are still talking ! Ms. Sheila, you are a jewel and we thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

all of them. On wedding day we had the joy of meeting Sheilah and she was amazing. She was so responsive and made sure everything ran smooth. If I could do the process over again I would choose Hidden Pines Lake Houston and their amazing team over again! Thanks again for making the best day of our lives the best day!

and attentive, from day one to the day of our wedding. Our wedding guest were amazed at how beautiful the venue was and also complimented on how good the food was! Definitely recommend Hidden Pines Lake Houston to future couples. They are an awesome team to work with and will make sure your day goes off smoothly and on time.

definitely secluded enough to have its own fun and loud without mixing with the "outside noise." 2. The venue itself has a calm and peaceful look to it (barn but modern). 3. It's so pretty on its own that I knew that I didn't need to incorporate a lot of decorating. We did minimalist decorations and it was still perfect! 4. The staffs! I cannot stress enough how great the staffs were. Nicole was a wonderful help from the beginning to the end. We didn't have her on our actual day as we had Reem. However, that didn't change anything. Reem, was just as wonderful going above and beyond for us. She was flexible in changing things to our liking and she was really just on it. Both of these ladies were friendly, warm, punctual, and sincere. I also want to recognize the Dj, Dj Tavian (great playlist, flexible too!), the cooks and servers. They were all so kind, friendly and professional. If you don't choose this venue, I do hope that you at least have a team of wedding planners and coordinators like I had in Nicole and Reem.

week, because most of the weddings happen on the weekends, but they could have at least given us a time that works for people that are gettin off work like 6pm or 7pm. They had us from 4pm to 5pm and these were the latest times they had. When I got there I was running late because I had to pick up kids from school who was also in the wedding, so we had only 15 minutes to practice. The lady did give us an extra 15 minutes, but it was still very inconvenient. Also, the venue allows 2 hours for engagement photos to be taken at the venue prior to your event, but because of them still under construction and renovating we had to be patient and wait until everything was complete to take our photos, which unfortunately I couldn’t find a time that worked for me, my husband, the makeup artist and the photographer prior to our event, so I asked if I could go back to the venue and do a photo session on the lake after we had the wedding, to get the shots that we missed on the day of, because it got dark, and they didn’t let us because it had to be within the contract period which was prior to my event. I feel like they could have been more accommodating to us since on my day the other coordinator showed up late and had my vendors outside waiting for 30 minutes to set up. Now the lady was very nice and accommodating once she got there, but the venue should take those things into consideration and be more flexible with their policies. Also, the food was not that good, so that was disappointing. Other than that I still feel like my experience was pretty good because of the staff, the DJ, my overall experience during the entire process and the venue itself is amazingly beautiful.
