Safari Texas Ranch

Thank you so much for making the perfect wedding reception for us! It was truly absolutely amazing! Alli and the entire staff were so very hospitable for both of our families. Seena and I want to especially compliment the food staff and cooks! We received countless compliments from our guests who loved the appetizers, meals, desserts, and midnight snacks! Everything was perfect and we want to express our gratitude to Alli and the entire Safari Texas team for helping make our dream day come true.

Wonderful Experience!!! The venue itself was simply stunning, exceeding our expectations in every way. The ambiance was perfect for our special day, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. Shelby helped us book the venue, she was not only incredibly nice but also exceptionally helpful. Shelby and her team went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and ensure every detail was taken care of. During the event, the servers were outstanding. They greeted our guests with warm smiles and were attentive throughout the evening. They did an excellent job of clearing empty plates promptly and ensuring that refreshments were always stocked, which allowed us to fully enjoy the celebration without any worries. Overall, our experience was flawless, thanks to their dedicated staff and beautiful venue. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a breathtaking venue and exceptional service for their special event.

Recently celebrated a wedding here in the Magnolia Ballroom for ~330 people. Working with the coordinators went so smoothly and they made sure to answer all the questions we had - regarding anything and everything! We worked with Cassidy for the event, and during the event she made sure to keep us updated with the status of food and drinks and anything else. Phenomenal service here! Would love to come back for another event if needed.

Absolutely first class venue, their years of experience shined in my wedding ceremony and reception!!!!

We had our wedding at safari Texas in October (Roman garden and palm pavilion room). Both areas were so gorgeous. Beth was our Safari coordinator and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is so kind and truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect in ever way. We couldn’t have done it with out her.

The venue is beautiful and has many options from rustic to formal elegance. Food was amazing and everyone was very friendly and professional. Anusha checked on me throughout the event to make sure that if there was anything I needed.

The night was perfect and was something we will never forget. Their team did such an incredible job from the bartenders to the gentlemen picking up as everyone finished their food and drinks. Big shoutout to Noe, he was always so attentive anytime my wife and I were near the bar. We’re lucky to have Beth along the way because she definitely made this process so smooth for us from the beginning. We will continue to rave about your services and forward you along to anyone we know who is in need of catering/wedding info.

We would like to thank Alli and Beth for helping to make our wedding day beautiful. They were always professional and always willing to assist us in any way. They made the process enjoyable from beginning to end. Thank you so much Alli & Beth @ Safari Texas Ranch! Mr. & Mrs. Rebeles- Wedding 3/11/2023

Safari is a great affordable venue for weddings. Really big hall that can accommodate up to 800 people. The food and alcohol options are very affordable. Sohini was our catering manager, and she accommodated all our needs and made everything ran so smooth the day of. We loved working with her and she made our lives so easy. Would definitely recommend working with her!

We do not regret the decision of deciding to go with Safari Ranch as our wedding venue. It turned out perfect and we were pleasantly surprised by the level of service and thoughtfulness that provided by the staff. Our venue spokesperson was Alli and she was very detailed and thoughtful during the whole process. She accommodated to our every needs and was very flexible on our guest’s diet restrictions (providing separate plates based on dietary restrictions). My husband and I were not a couple that wanted a full blown wedding (we did it for our parents), but we do not regret it as everything went smooth and there was minimal stress involved with the assistance of Alli. I also appreciated that they are also not a type of venue who tries to charge for every upgrade (a lot of venues will charge you every dime and penny). We got a lot of compliments on the venue (roman gardens/magnolia) room. We didn’t feel the need to decorate much because the outdoor ceremony area and reception rooms were beautiful.

For purposes of describing our experience, I'll just share part of a letter of thanks that we sent to the venue after they hosted our reception: We wanted to let you know how deeply appreciative we are of your hosting and handling of our wedding reception of January 22 in your Infinity Ballroom. It really could not have gone better than it did, and we thank your staff for their efforts and hospitality. Not only was it a stress-free and wonderful experience for us, but our guests loved being there and gushed to us with praise - about the food, about the venue, and so on. This was the biggest night of our lives, and everything you did was noticed and felt, and we are so happy. We’d like to just properly acknowledge with some specificity some of the people / aspects of the service: The wait staff were so professional and courteous. Everything ran on time. And honestly, we didn’t even notice them. They were invisible in the best possible way, if that makes sense. The gentleman who were at the two bars were so nice and welcoming to our guests. We received many comments from our guests about what a good job they did! There was a gentleman who was helping Sohini Tomar the night of our reception. He was so helpful and conscientious. He did many small things to help us without asking, and asked us about some of the big things. Particularly at the end of the night, he did us a great big favor by having the food and cake packed in such a neat and tidy manner. A big thank you to everyone who we interacted with, even for a moment: The personnel in the office who we briefly spoke with when we dropped off payments. The personnel who hosted us during our tasting. The chefs! The food was incredible. Just to give some context, our menu had both Vietnamese and Indian food items. We know this is probably fairly irregular, and wanted to thank the administration for allowing us to have such a unique food experience for our guests. All of the guests loved it. I cannot emphasize this enough. And the food itself was incredible. I cannot tell you how many people on both sides of our wedding guests asked about the food, where was it from, etc, and just expressed how much they enjoyed it. And finally, a HUGE thank you to Sohini Tomar, who was our point of contact throughout. She was so easy to work with, and we were always sure that Sohini listened to us and was able to address our particular concerns or sticking points to the best of her ability. That is honestly all you can want. We know for example that Sohini helped make sure that some late arriving guests were properly fed and seated, and it means alot to us that she was able to make them feel welcome without a hitch. Again, everything on 1/22 went beautifully, and we know how much of a big role Sohini played in making that happen for us. We’ve tried to capture some of this feedback for you, so that we can properly acknowledge what a great experience you’ve provided to us on such an important occasion for both of our families. It’s not just our own feelings and observations, but the feelings and observations of our family and friends who also helped us considerably on that day and were also appreciative of all that you did, and the feelings of our guests who really just enjoyed the event and were happy to be there with us. With the utmost appreciation, Shourjo, with Mary

Our reception event was at Safari Texas Ranch. It is a beautiful venue and they have various sized ballrooms to fit any event and taste needs both outdoors and indoors. They have several customizable options for food / drinks and basic table chair decor..they even had an in-house Indian chef who could cater Indian food..our coordinator Sohini walked us through the entire process smoothly.she was very responsive to emails and phone calls. She worked with us to make critical decisions like guest count which drastically changed due to the Omicron situation. She also helped decide on food options and made appropriate suggestions without any imposition..During the event she kept checking in to make sure everything was smooth.. she immediately made a change to the table setup right when the event was about to start..the staff was very courteous and constantly coordinated any time changes such as dinner start time etc..we are very happy we choose Safari Texas Ranch for our event !!

We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding at Safari Texas Ranch. Alyssa was especially helpful - from our first contact to the day of the event she was always available and working with us to help us plan the ideal day. We picked from the Halal Indian menu which had a great range of options, and again Alyssa was very helpful in putting together a menu that catered to all of our guests. Our ballroom was ready to go at 10 am the day of our event, and the staff on the day of the event were very friendly, professional and courteous, and the day-of coordinator helped ensure everything ran smoothly. The gold chargers and Chiavari chairs we added really helped make the room look even fancier, while the food was a big hit with all of our guests. The only negative experience we had was with a person who claimed to be the owner of the property. Three hours before our event, as we were setting up the room, the gentleman came in, arguing loudly with other customers, and sat at one of the tables we had already set up with our wedding favors. We didn't say anything and this went on for 20-25 minutes. When they left, we went to go fix the seat where he had moved everything around, and in that time he came back and yelled at us to "let him sit on HIS chair." This was extremely unprofessional behavior and unnecessary stress added to our day mere hours before our event. This individual needs to learn how to deal with customers, as he was the only negative part of our experience with Safari Texas, where the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and professional.

Just wanted to reach out to Safari Management and Staff and say "Thank You so much for all your help and guidance in making my Daughter's wedding a great success". Kudos to Sohini. From start till the end, we could not have asked for any better support, you were very cooperative and easy to work with. Along the journey since last one and half year, you have exceeded our expectations. We all are very grateful to have you on our team from Safari. The venue was great and all the setup and amenities were awesome. Sohini, You have always been smiling even when we throw curve balls at you, not an easy job, including the last minute change for relocating the DJ table. I would acknowledge all the staff that supported our event.

Very thankful to Safari Texas Ranch for providing beautiful venue and ambiance for my daughter’s wedding. Especially Sohini who helped us through out to make it a smooth process. And peacocks played photo bombs in so many pictures!!

Sohini was so easy to work with. She is very thorough and timely. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding reception. The venue looked beautiful and the food was delicious!! I received many compliments from my guests. Also a very affordable venue for what you are getting!!

Everything was amazing, Alyssa was a great help! Did everything I asked for and more.

Our son's wedding reception was held there on July 31, 2021. The venue, service and support staff is excellent. The catered Indian food was authentic and delicious. Overall, excellent experience. We would strongly recommend this venue.

Sohini at Safari was very nice and professional, loved working with her. Her team made sure everything was as planned for the day of our wedding. The food was amazing - we had in-house catering of Indian food and the guests loved it. The veranda ballroom was beautifully decorated on our day. Servers and staff were nice and professional and did everything in a timely manner. Everyone was well taken care of. For the extent of their services, it's a great deal for the value. The team was very flexible with many of our requests. Sohini is very attentive to detail, easy to work with, quick to respond. She was very cooperative with our event coordinator as well. We highly recommend Safari Texas Ranch for events.

I just wanna say thank you to all of you. I appreciate your help yesterday. you guys were awesome in the food, service,..everything more than I expected. all our guests were very happy and gave you a lot of compliments. especially, I wanna thank the manager, she is very nice and professional. she led and made everything perfect, from ceremony to reception. she tried to meet whatever we asked with a happy face and smile. Thanks again. I will definitely recommend it to my friends who need the wedding service. you guys are the best.

We had our son's graduation in May 2021 and we had an excellent event yesterday and the guests have been pouring accolades over the arrangements and the quality of the food. The entire staff was professional, courteous and were on top of their game. Special thanks to Alyssa Box for being there for almost of all of the event and making sure our needs were met. Overall the experience was exceptional. Alyssa Box at Safari Texas was the best event planner I have dealt in a long time ! Thank you

We had our Rehearsal Dinner in the Safari Lodge and the Wedding Reception in the Grand Ball Room. Everything was exceptional and working with Alyssa was so easy. She was very helpful with everything and a joy to work with! I have attended many events at Safari Texas and hosted a few and never been disappointed! Highly Recommend! So much is included in the per person cost and no hidden charges like many other venues have.

Safari Texas is so hospitable! We hosted several wedding events with them and they left us speechless! Sohini was a dream to work with. She helped us with our vision and provided really great advice on parts of it. She was flexible when we had to make changes and was so gracious. I highly recommend that you book your next event at Safari Texas!

Thank you to the staff at Safari Texas for working so patiently with us during covid times. Planning a wedding during a pandemic, and postponing it twice seemed unimaginable. Safari Texas was beyond helpful and understanding with switching dates. The owner himself called to inform me not to stress over the situation, and reassured that he will work with us to make sure we get the wedding of our dreams. We had an outdoor wedding and they made sure everything was perfect. From Power washing, to repainting columns and staying present during the day of the wedding, they Went above and beyond. Special Thank you to Sohini. She was very professional and extremely compassionate in all our interactions. Thank you Sohini, for working diligently for the past two years to make it all worth the wait. We can’t wait to share our pictures with you!

Even before booking, safari made the showing and booking process very easy and accomodating. The contract was clearly written out, and the coordinator explained each clause in detail. They were very patient with both the bride and groom's family and allowed us to ask all our questions. Before our event, Sohini was brought on as our coordinator. This was in the peak of the pandemic. She is AMAZING! She was always very helpful, knowledgeable, and cooperative throughout the entire process. She answered all our concerns for the event and the pandemic. She worked with our vendors well and made sure we had everything running smoothly the day of the event. Sohini and the owner agreed to renegotiate our initial contract the month before the wedding to adjust for sizing and events because of COVID. They were fair in their pricing and worked with us extensively with many unknowns and constantly changing plans because of COVID. We also did our food catering through Safari. We had a great tasting before the event, and the same quality was achieved the day of the event. All of our guests praised the food. We also had great remarks about the bar. They ran the 2 bars efficiently during the night. Guests also appreciated the service overall. We ultimately landed on Safari as a venue pre-COVID because of the new Infinity Ballroom and outdoor wedding option before COVID and we can say we are very happy with our selection post-pandemic. Sohini and the owner of safari worked with us continuously throughout the process and we had a great event.

Monica Coimbra at Safari Texas was literally the best. Three of my groomsmen who also got married at Safari, had Monica help out as well and LOVED HER. Highly recommend her, as she goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect the day of. Leading up to the wedding day, she walked us through so many options and helped us out of so many situations. Planning a wedding during a pandemic can be stressful enough, but she made it so much easier!! We hosted our wedding in The Lodge at Safari Texas, and they have 7 other ballrooms on-site you can choose from. The food got many compliments as well! 10/10

I can't say enough great things about Alyssa and the entire team at Safari Texas Ranch! My team and I had the pleasure of working with Alyssa and our couple to coordinate a beautiful nikkah ceremony and reception celebration. Alyssa was always so responsive, allowing us to visit several times before the wedding, guiding us through different floor plan options, and staying so, so patient as we requested several changes to have an amazing, but COVID-safe celebration. I work with venues all over Houston and its surrounding areas, and I can honestly say that Alyssa was the easiest, most flexible venue manager I have had the pleasure of working with! Thank you, Alyssa, for all of your support, patience, & professionalism!! Sabrina Lee Lillie Jane Designs Owner, Lead Planner

The staff and management did a wonderful work they also served hadhramy Yemeni coffe it was perfect like everything else

Alyssa at Texas Safari Ranch is honestly the best wedding coordinator you can have! We had a horrible experience elsewhere and came straight to Safari where Alyssa met with us the same day and was able to pick up everything. And we were not disappointed. She will make sure everything is perfect and will give you 110% of her time. If you don’t book with Safari and specifically ask for Alyssa you’re missing out. It’s a win win situation! Great place, awesome service, and the sweetest coordinator out there! Thanks Alyssa for making my brother and sister in laws wedding AMAZING!! We will forever appreciate you! Maryhann H.

Safari Texas did an excellent job with the catering and overall wedding reception!

This is a beautiful venue. There are multiple rooms to choose from. We chose the Magnolia Ballroom. Our wedding was perfect! The room was absolutely gorgeous, and the food and service were fabulous. I would highly recommend this venue! Thank you Monica, Mr. Nguyen, and the rest of your staff that helped make our wedding a success!

Safari Texas put us at ease during this pandemic when we were 6 weeks out from the wedding date and our current venue was not sure they could accommodate us. We visited Safari Texas and they truly put the bride and groom at ease and listened attentively to my daughter’s style and wedding wishes. They have reception rooms for various styles. We also were concerned about our guests’ safety and we were so pleased that they were thoroughly cleaning (I smelled bleach and disinfectant in the bathrooms). They also had sanitation stations and offered to check our guests’ temperatures at the chapel & reception. Alyssa organized tastings for the bride and groom, worked with all our vendors and was accommodating to our last minute requests despite the short notice. We received many compliments on the steak and chicken entrees. If you remember the restaurant Vargos and their peacocks they created such a lovely environment, Safari has several that stroll the grounds. They almost stole the show from the Bride & Groom, I saw so many people taking videos and photos of them. We had my daughter’s reception in the Palm Palladium Ballroom which has a lovely garden veranda next to it; unfortunately, we could not use it because of rain but it would be lovely for wedding photos. Thank you Safari Texas staff for a memorable wedding!

Safari Texas is the best value and the best people. All our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was! They met many of our requests and were very flexible. They were very attentive to all details up to and through our wedding day. We worked with Alyssa and she was amazing. Very easy to work with. We have recommended Safari Texas to everyone we know that is planning a wedding!

It was a wonderful reception. Even with the covid-19 arrangements were made by our Event Planner from the table seating and food arrangements. Everyone felt safe and we were told us how wonderful it was. Some individuals hadn't been our since March. Thanks Safari Texas for a great staff.

Alyssa box at Safari is the best!! She is so professional and knows what she is doing. She will work with you to make your vision/dream wedding come to life!

I am absolutely disappointed with the lack of respect that the "owner" of this property has. Allen was screaming on the phone and threatening to look for my address and come find me. I would rather have a wedding on my driveway than any venue at safari. I am disgusted by the way he speaks to women, and just clients in general. Save yourself a headache and find a different venue.

The infinity ballroom is one of the most beautiful ballrooms in Houston. The service at Safari Texas is top notch and I would recommend this venue to any and everybody.

So happy we chose Safari Texas The Lodge to host our daughter’s Engagement party. Mr. Allison and Ms. Sohini Tomar were very helpful and professional. All our queries before the event were answered promptly. All the arrangements at the venue were superb. Though we had outside caterers, there was hot chai and coffee provided. The rustic decor of The Lodge added a unique touch to the ambiance.

I am so happy with my decision to have held my events at Safari Texas. Everything was handled in a timely and professional manner. Our guests loved the venue! Our wedding coordinator, Nancy Dang was OUTSTANDING. She is kind, understanding and very accommodating. She was quick to respond to texts and phone calls. On the day of the event, she was a true professional and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. We used the in-house catering for Indian cuisine. The food was delicious, and guests are still raving about it. I highly recommend this venue to future couples.

Safari was a great place for our reception! Very responsive throughout the whole process, very accommodating, beautiful location. Only a few issues. We asked for the leftover food at the end, and we only received some of it, and only after asking for it again. Also, the coordinator could have been more present the night of.

EVERYTHING was absolutely beautiful and perfect!! It was beyond my expectations. The food, the venue,the gazebo, the staff (THEY WERE AWESOME). I can not thank you enough. Alli, she was incredible since we met and even after the wedding. Thank you so much for made our BIG DAY so perfect!

Monica was awesome to work with. They catered our seated reception at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Sugar Land. The evening was absolutely magnificent, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She took care of everything. I sent her 20+ emails asking questions, and of course changing little things leading up to our Wedding. She was patient with us, and made notes on everything. The night of was spot on. They recommended our florist, who also did an amazing job. I would use them again in a heart beat. Very pleased with the whole process, and extremely happy with our Wedding.

Overall, our wedding reception at Safari Texas Ranch (STR) was affordable and accommodated our very large wedding (300+ guests). We had our reception in the Magnolia room, which was large and spacey enough for the cocktail hour and reception. We worked with Sandra to finalize food and decor details. Food overall is on the ok side (nothing fantastic, but there are some tasty options to choose from in our package). We also added the wine/beer for our drink package and STR was willing to work with our preferences. Decor for the table linens were limited to choose from, but at least we got the upgraded ones. Planning process went relatively smooth, and Sandra was very responsive in meeting our requests and questions. One hiccup was that for our July wedding, the smaller cocktail room did not seem to have the AC running early enough to keep our guests cool. Also, the buffet food seemed to run short towards the end of our guests (I think we ran out of pork roast early). Overall, good experience and value.

We had a wonderful wedding at Safari Texas Ranch. Monica was our coordinator and she was very courteous and prompt throughout our wedding planning process. She was very attentive during our wedding day also. Safari worked with us and our budget to provide a beautiful wedding reception with delicious food and mocktail drinks for our guests. We would highly recommend this venue for weddings!

Perfect wedding venue! My husband and I got married last month at the Safari Texas Lodge and Roman Gardens. It was absolutely a dream and the entire Safari team made everything possible. We worked with Sandra and Monica who held our hands through the entire process. They were wonderful. On the day of, the logistics were perfect, the venue was set up and reserved seats marked well ahead of time and organizers were very polite and great to work with. Wendy and her set-up team ensured everything went according to schedule. Following the ceremony the staff assisted in escorting guests who were unfamiliar with the ranch to the reception area inside the lodge. Meaghan, Carol, and Delmi were so nice and did a great job. The reception was spectacular. Decorations, food, atmosphere, music, all were perfect there was more than enough hors d'oeuvres for everyone. The selection of food was awesome, some people even thought the appetizers were the main course. Tables were set very elegantly with the highest quality of flatware and china. The main dishes were excellent, served with restaurant/hotel quality and timing, for over 172 people nonetheless. All the courses were delicious, although the seabass and filet mignon stood out among the rest. Servers were all very nice and ensured all the guests had refreshments and were well taken care of. After the meal the entertainment was great, although the music from the DJ was a hair too loud, but the music choice was great and dance floor a good size for all guests. Safari Texas was the perfect venue for our wedding.

We had our reception at HMNS Sugar Land and used Events by Safari for the catering. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Monica was knowledgeable, kind, flexible, and easy to work with. She was able to answer all of our questions and willing to help with all of our requests. The food was amazing. All of our guests were raving about it! We had the tasting (which was great) a few weeks before, and I think the food we had at wedding tasted even better. We also appreciated the fact that we did not feel as though they "nickel and dime"-d us.

Our guest absolutely loved the forum, We cannot say enough about Meaghan, our coordinator, She made our vision a reality and we our thankful for Safari Texas Ranch. The Bradley's

Overall, the venue is fantastic, and I do not regret one bit having our whole wedding at this venue. We had our ceremony in the Roman Gardens. While the ceremony fee is a little on the pricier side, it was definitely worth it. So many of our guests keep telling us how beautiful it was. The venue does have less expensive options to have your ceremony, however, if you need that. Sandra, our coordinator, was very helpful. She was always very prompt and thorough with her responses and with making sure everything was taken care of. We had our reception in the Safari Lodge room. We loved the rustic look of the place, and once everything was decorated and lit up, it looked absolutely perfect. I love that they now have a separate buffet room in that area now. Now, the only little downsides and the reason why I didn't give a full five stars: our chicken dish that was served at the wedding was not the same thing that we had at the tasting. That was something that my husband was pretty disappointed about. However, it was still very good. Also, the time slot that they allow you for the use of the reception venue is relatively short, and costs a decent amount to add on more time. These are fairly minor concerns, however. I would still highly recommend this venue to any bride in the area.

The venue of Safari Texas Ranch is such a beautiful place. So much land with so many different and gorgeous ballrooms that accommodate many different themes (with more being built)! Our coordinator Sandra was such a joy to work with! She made everything so easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, we had no worries once we saw Sandra and how diligently her team was working to make sure we were having a wonderful day. Thank you Safari Texas!

Cassandra is very rude and not easy to deal with. I had heard this from many others and have experienced it recently myself

From the first time I walked the grounds at Safari I fell in love. We booked with the Rose Chapel and The Forum--one of the newer ballrooms. I ended up reading reviews on Safari a few weeks later and immediately became nervous. People were saying such awful things! However, the closer we got to the wedding the more those nerves went away and I never looked back on my decision to go with Safari! Amanda Evans was so sweet, attentive, and utterly fantastic. We did a BBQ buffet with an open beer and wine bar and it was delicious and affordable! I am soooo glad I went with Safari. Our ceremony and reception were gorgeous and went off without a single hitch! Amanda was a doll and I absolutely loved working with her. Her and my day of coordinator Annie with Mae Events made my wedding day one to remember for both guests and wedding party. Thank you so much Safari and Amanda!

I had my wedding ceremony at the Roman Gardens and the reception was at the Palm Pavilion. My catering manager/coordinator was Monica. We met in person about 2 weeks before the wedding to go over linens and room layout and I felt really good about everything we discussed. Now fast forward to the wedding day! I arrived that morning and the reception space was being set up. The room setup was mostly correct with the exception of the stage. I planned to have a low riser in lieu of a taller stage for my sweetheart table. I notified Monica that the stage needed to be taken down and she told me no worries it would get done. Three hours later, I noticed it still had not been fixed and I asked again. Another hour goes by, still not fixed. Monica proceeds to bring in a group of at least 8 people to tour and starts filling out paperwork on my fully decorated tables. I was very irritated by this, she should have made sure the room was 100% complete for my event taking place within a matter of hours instead of touring people. I ask again for the 3rd time and she acted completely oblivious and innocent. I expect way better than this when I paid THOUSANDS of dollars to have my wedding there. To make matters worse, she continued to tour another group of people through. At this point my 6 bridesmaids took apart the entire stage themselves. I am beyond thankful that my girls did this for me, but it is NOT okay by any means. All the while this is happening, approximately an hour before the ceremony we also discovered that the Safari staff had only setup 90 chairs at my ceremony when I needed 180 chairs AND there was no table for my altar or programs. When we found Monica to notify her, low and behold she was standing around with more potential customers instead of properly managing the setup. My last major complaint is the signs they have to direct guests. I specifically asked in my final meeting that my sign point to the ceremony, yet it pointed to the reception and all of my guests started arriving to the wrong location! I really wish Monica had done a better job following up with everything and making sure my event setup was taken care of. It seems she was more interested in potential customers instead of those who already paid. Despite all of this, I still had the best day of my life. Food was great, and the bartender was amazing. Would I do it all over again here? Absolutely not, I’m very disappointed and would not give Safari Texas another dime!

The ballroom and the Roman gardens were beautiful. The helper I had during the reception did an amazing job and was so understanding and helpful. My frustration came when the morning of the wedding I was told I could decorate at 930a. When I got there nothing was ready. No chairs or tables were out. I ended up late for my makeup appt because I spent so long arguing with a gentleman there which in turn pushed my entire day back. I then had to quickly round up some relatives to go set up my wedding and reception a few hours before it had began. Also, my signs were pointing the wrong direction so a few people weren't even able to find the wedding after I had specifically been told that staff would be available to direct my guests to the right place. My wedding day was amazing but definitely more stressful than it needed to be because of this venue.

This is the second event we have had at Safari Texas in the past year. I was wedding coordinator for both. Last November 2014 our daughter got married in the Rose Chapel and had a reception in The San Antonio Room. This October 2015, our son got married and had the reception all in The Palm Pavilion. We loved both events. The coordinator who helped us last year is no longer with Safari. Our coordinator for this year was Amanda Evans. Amanda was helpful and professional. We were to have an outdoor garden wedding with an indoor reception. Then Hurricane Patricia hit Mexico and sent tropical rains our way. We had a great plan B for the ceremony to be moved inside in case of inclement weather, so Amanda quickly facilitated all the changes. The day of the wedding she was on site and dealt with every little need we had. I was very grateful to her for her willingness and ability to jump in and 'get 'er done'. Food was plentiful and tasty. It was nice to have a full service facility handle all the linens, tables, chairs, set-up, break-down, clean-up, food, bar tender, alcohol/drinks, servers (I am sure I am leaving something out), etc. With so many different size and types of venues in one facility, there is bound to be one that would suit the needs of anyone. Safari is definitely worth a look.

Amanda and Sandra at Safari Texas Ranch were the sweetest to work with. They made our event day go perfectly. They are friendly, professional and flexible to work with. They did a great job. I recommend the facility and Amanda and Sandra for any events. Great find!

Loved this place and the staff. Among all the vendors that we worked with, the team at Safari were one of the most professional and easy to work with and they met our expectations. 5 stars!

We contracted with Safari Texas to provide complete catering for our daughter's wedding reception. The event took place at the Museum of Natural History in Sugar Land, TX. Safari Texas helped plan everything. The event Catering Manager was extremely professional and helpful. She came to the event and attended to every detail. The food was excellent and the service staff were courteous and responsive to our every need. We heard nothing but praise from our family and friends. My wife and I were thrilled and would recommend Safari Texas to anyone.

I got married in the Rose Chapel and had my reception in the San Antonio Room this past weekend. Safari Texas is such a beautiful venue and I can honestly say it was my dream wedding! Adrianna (my wedding coordinator at Safai) was just wonderful! She was so well organized and helping make the planning process and the day of the wedding run so smoothly. I would recommend Safari to anyone!

We recently had our wedding at Safari, and I must say that they are undoubtedly the exception to the saying, "you get what you pay for." We were so doubtful at first that we were reluctant to select Safari but ultimately decided on the venue because of budget. However, those doubts quickly vanished with each day we met with Safari. Throughout the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Safari did everything to accommodate our requests, and I can assure you we had quite a bit. We booked the courtyard just outside the Chapel for our ceremony and held the reception in the Safari Lodge for 175 guests. Both were the perfect canvas for our florist and the team at Safari to bring our rustic wedding to life. The food served was impeccable -- in fact, my bride and I received a number of compliments on it, particularly the lamb chops and champagne chicken. The staff at Safari exceeded every expectation that we had from start to finish and I am embarrassed that we judged the quality based on the price tag. I highly recommend you book Safari before they realize what a steal they are.
