We had a relatively short engagement (about 8 months) and shopped for venues for a good while before deciding on Sunset Oaks. They try are the best for your money, so hands on and they are so transparent about their pricing and what they offer! Their decor closet is extensive! They had so much you can borrow for your big day for free and it was all actually cute/current things. The venue itself is beautiful not too rustic or modern a perfect canvas to hold your wedding day! We loved working with Coby she was so proactive and helpful and the big day went off perfectly.

There are no words to describe how Arrowwood and Brie made my wedding dreams come true on such a magical level. For context, my dream has always been a very nature centered, intimate, informal, romantic wedding in the winter. So if that’s not your dream, I understand. But from the get, even during wedding chaos and curveballs- even DROPPED balls- Brie held my wedding together with her bare hands to make sure I had the best day of my entire life. She is just such a badass and caring and strong and organized and sure footed woman. My groomsmen were stupid and forgot they had to setup? She got did setup without asking until I screamed at the men to get down there. I was running late? She told me to breathe and slow down. I needed my vape during rehersal? She held it IN HER HAND for when I needed it. People left my wedding early cuz they thought it was over? She held that together and told me to do whatever I wanted. Boys got too drunk? Whatever, it’s my wedding, do whatever activities I want to. She kept me so centered and held it down. The grounds are beautiful, the amenities are adorable, the bridal suite overnight was perfect (well the TV was missing remotes but we made it work) and I will always always cherish my wedding day at Arrowwood. If you want a magical, nature centered wedding, please do yourself a favor and choose Arrowwood!! Even the cleaning lady was so sweet and I’m so sad I forgot her name!!!! ️️️

Hera's Haven is such a beautiful venue with a wonderful staff and gorgeous spaces to hold your events. As a wedding planner, I can tell you that the wedding day is always stressful. No matter how organized you are, how big of a team you have, how supportive the people around you are, something can always go wrong. When this happens it's difficult to keep from panicking, but Lauren swooped in and helped me level everything out, knocking my stress level in half. She was so helpful, supportive, and just an all-around delight. I've recommended this wonderful venue to all my brides, my friends, my family, and even strangers in wedding Facebook groups. Bonus for any Greek mythology buffs - The chandeliers are shaped like pomegranates and for our Greek Mythology themed wedding they were PERFECT.

Saint Rocco’s New York Italian is a celebration of family and a tribute to the culinary heritage of Italian-Americans. We believe that food is love and that a fabulous meal shared with family and friends is an essential part of a life well lived. When you come to Saint Rocco’s, we hope you leave with a full belly and an even fuller heart. Saint Rocco’s interior is also an homage to family with wall-to-wall vintage photos provided by Romano, Valley and other friends and colleagues. And printed on the back of each Saint Rocco’s menu are their personal thoughts about growing up Italian in America. Saint Rocco’s décor is a modern interpretation of the Italian-American clubs that Romano grew up going to with his dad, featuring red and white subway tile, a lively open kitchen and a hand-carved wooden bar that spans the length of the restaurant. It’s the Italian restaurant Dallas has been waiting for.

They were so patient & kind when my daughter had trouble making up her mind. They kept at it until she was satisfied. They really worked hard to help us stay in budget while getting the look we were going for. The buffet food was delicious and moist! Not easy for a buffet! The cake from Jenny Lane exceeded our hopes & expectations. We sent a photo and Nabil did an even better job! The flowers were great & the moon gate was beautiful! It was bigger & grander than we expected. The champagne tree was a big hit with everyone! It was such a pretty sight to see as entering the outdoor ceremony space!

We toured about 6 other venues around DFW before we visited the Pearl. My husband visited the Pearl at their open house in January 2022 while I was on a work trip and he knew this place was something special. We made an appointment with Connie and Barry for a few days later to go together and as we walked through the venue, we couldn't imagine any place else we wanted our wedding. Barry gave us the best venue tour we had been on and asked us questions about how we wanted our wedding to look to better help us see how our day would be. Throughout the planning process, I probably emailed Connie a dozen times and she was always so quick and happy to help with any suggestions or questions I had. They do a great job of thinking of all the details you need. On our wedding day on March 18, 2023, we couldn't have had a more magical and perfect day. All of our friends and family thought the venue and the wedding were amazing. I can't recommend the Pearl enough and highly encourage you to attend their open house if able or if not then book a tour as soon as you read the review.

Located just minutes outside the Metroplex, The Belle Manor provides all the space and accommodations you need to get ready, as well as, host your ceremony and reception all in one place. Our Manor House is home to private bridal and groom suites as well as a private pool with cabana and bar. Host your ceremony in our beautiful outdoor waterfront garden or in our charming indoor Private Chapel. Finish your day celebrating with your guests in our lavish Lakeside Ballroom with 9,000 square feet of space for dining on our delicious cuisine and dancing the night away.

The belle manor was an absolute pleasure to have my wedding. The only takeaway is the overnight stay. They had zero towels, paper towels, soap etc for guests. If you can sleep 8-12 why were only 3 towels available? Other than that they were excellent and accommodating to our needs.

Reds Roadhouse was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication style was quick, easy, and convenient - Aleisha and her team were a breeze to work with throughout the entire planning process. The quality of the space and value was unbeatable - it provided the best bang for our buck. The venue's decor package setup was a huge time and money saver, and having them handle all of our vendors made the day completely stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience. Highly recommend Reds Roadhouse to any couple looking for a beautiful, affordable, and well-run venue.

About wedding venues in Rice, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day. The state is home to countless venues that showcase authentic Texas character while still matching your personal style. Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests. Many Texas venues incorporate unique regional touches you won't find elsewhere; live country music that gets everyone dancing, mouthwatering BBQ stations and custom boot favors that celebrate local heritage. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

The national average runs about $6,500-$12,000 which represents roughly 25% of your total wedding budget. Your overall wedding costs will depend largely on how many people you're inviting to share your special day:

Guest CountAverage Total Wedding Budget
50 guests$19,410
100 guests$32,365
150 guests$44,545
200 guests$55,433
250 guests$66,322

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away. If you're considering Houston, you'll find venues that thoughtfully incorporate bayou landscapes alongside sophisticated cosmopolitan amenities. Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere. Fort Worth venues perfectly blend Western heritage with modern conveniences for a uniquely Texan experience. November emerges as the most popular month for venue inquiries across the state, so you might want to plan accordingly if you're interested in this popular time frame.

How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Texas Venue?

Texas couples typically book their wedding venues about 16 months (or 457 days) before their wedding date. November stands out as the most popular month for venue inquiries so planning early is essential if you're considering this timeframe. This advanced booking timeline helps you secure your preferred date since popular venues often fill their calendars far in advance especially for prime weekend dates. Booking early also allows you to lock in current pricing before annual increases that many venues implement. Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

Madera Estates in Conroe stands out for its commitment to accessibility with fully paved event spaces that accommodate wheelchair navigation throughout the property.

Which Texas Wedding Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Bell Tower on 34th in Houston delivers exceptional dining experiences under Executive Chef Sergio Arellano. His international culinary team creates gourmet meals on-site that will impress even your most food-savvy guests. Food-focused couples should also consider Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin where you'll enjoy spectacular views alongside premium cuts of Texas beef. Cisco's Salsa Company near Tomball has built a reputation for their award-winning Mexican cuisine that adds authentic flavors to your celebration. Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in the Houston area offers a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience with tableside carving and a festival atmosphere your guests will remember long after the wedding day.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.
