Mirage on Lake Conroe

of the docks and view of the lake. Our want when booking was to have a dockside wedding( as seen in the advertisement).we were assured it was no problem. However, the docks are in horrible shape and could not be used. Later we found out the advertising images were all staged as an "attempt " to lure wedding to this venue. The on-site caterer, whom we met with and did a tasting. Suddenly quit. We were then told we could bring in our own catering and if needed use the kitchen to prep or cook for our wedding. We hired a chef, who owns a restaurant, and moved forward. Twice, the venues representative NO SHOWED to the required meeting with our chef to go over the kitchen. After our chef toured the kitchen, he said " I would not prepare a single item in this disgusting kitchen". The kitchen was smelly, loaded with caked on grease, and had fly traps hanging from multiple places. All food was prepared off site. Then the venue TRIPLE booked the night of our wedding. We literally had to threaten to physically remove any uninvited guest from the venue. ( our contract says specifically, that we had the entire facility). Our rental included 2 - 3 bedroom condos at the adjoining property. Conveniently, they sold those as our event approached, then agreed to provide us 2-2 bedrooms. Because of that we were forced to rent additional rooms elsewhere to accommodate our out of town guests. Then on the night of our rehearsal. The air conditioning did not work. This was the case on our wedding night as well. My bride and I had to rent a hotel room down the road for our wedding night because our room was 85+degrees. The following day, upon tear down, employees of the venue next door, began rummaging thru our flowers and vases and started taking what they wanted. Also during the wedding, several liquor items that were ordered were not on site. We had signs made telling our guests what was available, only to not have it at all. When we met with the real owner, he told us that all the other things that Lori promised were not his responsibility. Even though she was a supposed owner also and a venue representative. The venue refused to refund us our money. Later we discovered that the fraud Lori, never actually left. Avoid this venue and its associates like the plague. For what you get, its OVER PRICED and you will be disappointed!

experience, along with text messages, and voice recordings from the owner. I would never want any woman or man to go thru that. And he single handled ruined one of the best experience of me and my fiancé life. With no remorse. We worked our ass off to pay for our wedding a middle class American family and he has every dime or it still and no wedding in sight. I think anybody would want they’re money back. Like Stavan said “ all I care about is your money”. 😒

e event. She was quick to respond to any questions, was flexible with our groups needs, and was accommodating throughout the process. The venue itself is a show stopper. Its elegance is seen in the high ceilings, exposed beams, lighting, seating, fixtures, and overall ambiance. The sunsets are beautiful from The Mirage. It is directly on the water, offers dock space, a comfortable bar area, and a large pool with several indoor and outdoor entertainment areas that flow into the main space. This is an opulent location, but was still perfect for our causal event. The compliments were many and we enjoyed our event.

er was the sunset - absolutely stunning. Dave & Claudia were so friendly & easy to work with. They responded promptly to any of my questions/concerns & went above & beyond my expectations!
