derstand where they are coming from. Maybe they were being rude, didn't listen, or were bride zilla's because everyone involved in my wedding including the outside vendors said nothing but great things and about how easy she and Sans Souci were to work with. The venue was beautiful and very spacious so I wasn't too worried about people being crammed in and no room to move around. The staff were great in helping setup and takedown, and you can see that she takes care of them and that they are willing to do whatever if you are nice and respectful. The night turned out perfectly and I would 100% do it again.

Sans Souci is truly a beautiful venue. The chandeliers and elegant decor really gives it that wow factor. Sandra was wonderful and met all of our needs and was super helpful. I lov...
ed how flexible they were and how willing they were to work with us to meet our needs. However, I’m not going to give 5 stars because I felt like the in house catering was not what we were expecting. The food was not nearly as good on the day of the wedding than when we first tried it during our food tasting. The fish was actually cold and gamey the day of so I would not recommend getting the fish. Also we were recommended to hire one of the Sans Souci employees for our day of coordinator and we did not have the best experience. We had to reach out to our day of coordinator on the day of the wedding to see where she was and was told she would not be coming in until 12 pm or 1 pm even though we had thought we paid for her to be with us for the whole day. She also did not stay until the end of the reception. We were also misled into thinking we were able to use certain decorations for our wedding and then later told that we would be charged extra for this, so we changed our decorations last minute due to the misinformation provided to us by the day of coordinator. Also I ended up having to do a lot of the work on my own wedding day which is just not what I was expecting after hiring a day of coordinator. Overall, the money we paid for the coordinator was not really worth it. Other than the food and the day of coordinator, I think everything else went really smoothly so I would just be aware of those two things when booking this venue.
Response from Sans Souci Ballroom on 05/24/2023
Thanks so much, Mrs. Sana for sharing your feedback about our service. We're glad to hear ...
that our team's performance exceeded your expectations, and we'll make sure that Sandra receives the recognition she deserves.
As for the Day of Coordinator, we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention as we value your feedback. We have further investigated and discovered a conflict of interest and have since no longer associated this individual with our company.
We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to detail, and we regret that we missed the mark regarding the in-house catering. We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are gutted when we don’t meet expectations. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. It was an uncommon instance and we will use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
We wish you and Jalal the very best in your blessed union and future endeavors!
Sincerely, The Sans Souci Family

this ballroom justice, so I highly recommend seeing it for yourself. We toured a handful of places before Sans Souci but nothing came close! Our venue coordinator was absolutely the sweetest and helped us every step of the way. From helping us a great deal on the contract to assisting us the days leading up to our event with the ballroom set up, food tasting, and final walk through…just phenomenal!
Like every big day, ironically something has to go wrong and for me, my wedding planner couldn’t make it. I’m sooo thankful for my venue coordinator and the ladies at Sans Souci ballroom for stepping in and constantly reassuring me that they would make sure everything goes smoothly. And they did just that! They were not obligated to take on such a role, but noticing how distressed I was since my entire wedding was full of entertainment vendors, the amazing ladies took on the responsibility.
Our wedding day was truly a dream come true and I wouldn’t be able to say that if it wasn’t for Sans Souci and their caring staff! Our guests were in complete AWE the second they walked into the venue and still talk about all the details till today. I cannot thank San Souci’s staff enough for everything they have done for us!

The venue of my dreams! Wedding was on 10/10/2020.
I had booked my venue a year in advance and right when COVID happened, San Souci was nothing but willing to work with us. Giving...
us all options to still help us make our dreams come true.
Venue Coordinator, Lidice, was so helpful and communicated with us with everything that we needed to prepare for our big day. It is very rare to have transparent customer service and it was exactly what we loved most about San Souci. Lidice worked with my wedding planner and helped make all of our dreams a reality. They truly listened and even gave great suggestions on any vendors we were looking for.
The venue gave such a WOW feature to all of our guests. They could not believe that such a place existed in Tomball.
They were all stunned when they walked in on the red carpet to see a gigantic chandelier hanging in the foyer. What made them speechless was seeing over 20 large chandeliers in the ball room. Let me tell you, we didn't decorate much at the venue and less is more there. Because the venue was so great as it was, we really didn't want to take away from it. The venue provided 3 votive candles on each tables and 3 cylinder vases as well. We bought our own floating candles and used that as décor with our own hydranges on the tables. It was fantastic. Less is more here.
I loved the idea of having the whole venue to ourselves to get ready from 9am till the end of our event (midnight, we booked extra time for our guests). The bridal suite was FANTASTIC! They had such a large space for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready all together, even have an attached makeup area! The Groom and Groomsmen loved having the bar upstairs to help their nerves.
Did I mention that they are all-inclusive?!
Cake - Our wedding cake was made by Who Made The Cake and it was such a HUGE hit with our guests. You cannot go wrong with Nadine's work.
DJ was provided by the venue as well and Joe did an EXCELLENT job. I have never been to a wedding where the guests were dancing nonstop! Joe listened to what type of theme and music we were going for and he sure did deliver AND MORE!
Bar - You supply the alcohol and the venue provides the staff and mixers. IT WAS GREAT!! You would think that with 180 guests, you would have a long line at the bar, but our guests never had to wait more than 2 minutes! That's what I call efficient!
Servers - The servers were so amazing! You couldn't even tell they were around because they did things so effortlessly in the background. If our guests needed anything, they would attend to them right away.
To prepare for COVID and that everyone was safe and aware; we did temperature checks at the door, assuring that masks are worn by guests and staff, and everyone signed a waiver stating they are aware of their own symptoms and would not had attended if they were in contact with anyone with COVID.
If any of our guests had any doubts of social distancing at the venue, it went out the window the minute they walked in. At only 25% capacity, it would be 250 people. We had 22 tables and each table would hold 8-10 people. These are LARGE SQUARE tables, so there was even spacing at and between each table. We had a total of 180 people attended our wedding and our guests could not tell because everyone was so spaced out.
Do not hesitate to book. They are such a great venue to work with and WANTS to make your dream a reality.
