We had the most wonderful experience for our wedding at the Bowery House and Gardens! The photos do not do it justice; the venue is even more beautiful in person and is worth taking a tour if you can. We loved having so many options for our ceremony and reception (don't sleep on the rooftop patio!) and the big oak trees made the perfect backdrop for our late October ceremony. Alan, Christian, and Sarah were wonderful to work with and worked hard to accommodate all of our requests. This is truly a hidden gem in the Houston area!

My husband and I loved everything about The Bowery House. This was the perfect venue for our wedding and I am glad I chose this venue to host our event. Our guests also gave amazing feedback which made us more happy to know that even our loved ones were satisfied as well. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for all their needs in one place.

After our previous venue fell through we were on the search to find a new one close by. We had passed Bowery many times going to the dog park and were always curious! After meeting with Sarah we were hooked. The rooftop offers a beautiful city vibes area with lights, second floor is surrounded with windows to see the gardens area and the beautiful tree and the 1st floor gives you that industrial vibe. This venue was more than we could have ever imagined. Both the bride and groom suite was so well decorated and designed ; we had so much fun getting ready with our friends in there. All of the venues owners are absolutely amazing and answered all of my annoying questions lol. I am a florist/ wedding decorator myself and this place was so easy to add to and enhance the space. I would 1000% recommend booking Bowery for your wedding/ event. I need to have another event soon so I can come back😍
Thank you guys X100 for everything
❤️ Thea + Andy

We were struggling to find a venue that was not a hotel in Fort Bend County and were starting to worry that one did not exist that would accommodate our guest count. From the moment our planner, Maria at Barr Event Co sent us the website for The Bowery House and Gardens, we were in love. Alan was incredible from the start and you can see how much pride he and the team have in their venue. Their attention to detail, knowledge of the space and professionalism made our vision come to life! Sarah assisted with the details and bar with incredible ease. The parking attendants made arrival for our guests seamless. Bartenders did incredible with our signature drinks and served our 200 guests expeditiously and always with a smile.
From our sunset ceremony on the roof top to cocktail hour, dinner and dancing on the second floor, outdoor games and seating on the first floor everything was perfect. We were able to have 3 flavors of party going on at the same time by the end of the evening which truly delighted our guests. Our bridal and groom suites were clean, had everything we needed and asked for when we arrived and are well appointed.
I cannot recommend Bowery House and Gardens enough for a unique and picture perfect venue that is flexible to all types of events. Alan and Sarah, I look forward to sharing the final photos so that you can add our table layout to your repertoire of photos and we cannot thank you enough for hosting us and our guests with such perfect hospitality.

Bowery House and Gardens at 7 Oaks is a beautiful indoor/outdoor venue! We fell in love with the venue instantly on our tour. Allen and his team were knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole process. We did not have a coordinator and they were easy to communicate with even up to the big day! We got married in December and the garden still looked amazing in our pictures. The venue is well thought out and our guest loved it. Truly a hidden gem! Highly recommended!!!! Thank you so much for being part of our special day!

I absolutely loved getting married here. It was exactly the vibe I wanted (a blend of natural and industrial) and the team was great to work with. Very attentive and capable problem solvers. All the staff that I encountered leading up to the wedding and day-of were so polite and kind. I never saw a long line for the bar, so that was well run.. just all in all beautiful. An easy choice that I’d make again.

The Bowery is such a great place with even better customer service. I had an engagement party and was given the option to partially rent the venue. The rooftop was such a nice option during the evening and even the band mentioned it was one of the best places they had played at. You almost forget you are even in Katy. Christian and Allen were so kind to answer all of my questions promptly, no matter how crazy the questions seemed. Christian was there to help during the day of the event and did an outstanding job. It's a hidden gem in Katy and I would definitely recommend.

My now-husband and I were at their open house and we both fell in love with the venue. It was unique, modern, and industrial-chic which was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. The ballroom was huge, the garden was beautiful to take pictures, and the rooftop was very fun to hang out for cocktail hour. Allen took us a tour around, and we knew this venue was for us. During COVID, they were all very accomodating and followed all safety guidelines to keep the staff, guests, vendors, and us to feel comfortable. On our wedding day, Allen and his staff made us feel perfect and every guest enjoyed it. They all commented on the venue that it was very unique and never seen anything like it before. My husband and I really enjoyed every moment from getting ready to send off. Thank you Allen, Mary, and the rest of the staff for making our wedding day special.

I recently had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding at The Bowery House and Gardens and I could not have asked for a better experience! On top of the excellent location, variety of spaces available within one venue, and serene views, the staff puts this venue at the top of our lists! Our client's wedding day was rainy and required lots of flexibility and Allen and the entire Bowery House team were SO helpful, we could not have asked for more. This venue can accommodate any wedding vision you may have and allows for some really creative wedding planning! Check it out y'all!

My new husband and I could not have selected a better venue and owners to work with for our wedding day! Upon initial contact with Allen and Mary (owners) we received immediate correspondence and that type of communication continued throughout our planning process (11 months). We LOVED everything about this venue, from the location to the 3 levels, to the bride and groom ready rooms. This place was the perfect setting for us to host our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. When the day finally arrived, Allen was on site bright and early even after having hosted an event the night before. Everything was in place as we had discussed and the day went off without a glitch. We are so grateful for Allen and Mary and their amazing professionalism and attentiveness to the things we desired to have on our special day. Thank you both so very much for adding to our beautiful wedding experience.

So I’m not even sure where to start so I’ll start at the beginning. When i first contacted this venue the response time was amazing. When i arrived my mouth was open i was amazed at how naturally beautiful this place is like omg this place doesnt need much decorations.The 3 floors really put a spin on things my guest loved it. The bridal suite /grooms suite are super cozy and make you feel relaxed before it starts. The owners make you feel like they are family i swear i felt like they were happier for us then some of our family lol. Super accommodating and understood what I wanted when I couldn’t get the words together to say what I wanted. All of my guest kept saying how beautiful it was. Sarah was my contact person for the day and when i say she knows what she’s doing i mean she really she knows what she doing....she handles everything quickly!!! The bartenders were amazing ..I promise you if you want a great event book here now you won’t regret...If we ever renew our vows we will be booking here all over again‼️‼️‼️ Thank you for making the planning so easy and my wedding beautiful. They deserve more than 5 stars

I coordinated a wedding at Bowery House (their first wedding ever!) in March and had a fantastic experience! The venue is beautiful and speaks for itself, so I want to focus on the staff for my review. Allen was my main point of contact for the event and he was accessible and responded to questions quickly leading up to the event and on the day of. The entire staff was incredibly thorough throughout the event, which helped the day run smoothly. One of my jobs for the event was to keep the dessert table stocked, but Bowery House took it upon themselves to do that for me; whenever they saw the desserts running low, they went ahead and set out more. I’m so appreciative for all of the help they provided because it really made for a perfect day for a really sweet couple. 😊

Bowery House Katy is setting the bar high for venues. We were their first event ever and our experience with them has been over the top! Gary, Allen, and Mary has been nothing but accommodating since day one of our wedding planning. The venue is a beautiful 3 story building with the bottom and top floors open to the amazing landscape. It had the trendy industrial chic meets nature feel to it. I would give them 6 stars but 5 is the max. Can’t rave about them and the venue enough! If you’re looking for a venue in the Houston/Katy area, look no further!
