We chose Aristide FlowerMound because during our search to find a LGBTQIA location to have our wedding, we met with Emily Blanks and she went over everything in a matter of 45 mins and we toured the venue. She also told us a little about her background and family, which made us feel very comfortable. When we left the meeting my husband and I said this is IT! Little did we know it would be one of the greatest decisions that we made for our special day. We then got paired with our Wedding Coordinator Kait B. When we met with Kait we let her know that we had an outside planner that would be working with her and she worked really well with her. Kait was such a joy to work with, she helped to make some of the most stressful situations seem like nothing at all. We highly appreciate all that Kait did for us. She was not only our coordinator but she became a friend in the time we spent together. Thank you, Deshun and Ricardo Lewis-Walker

From the first tour of the property, we knew that we had to get married here! Especially after seeing the chapel, we were in love! All the windows and natural light are so dreamy! We loved the location as well. Situated on a quiet street and conveniently located near hotels, restaurants, and the airport for our out-of-town guests. We were married in October 2024 and it was truly the best day ever. Seriously! We were truly blown away at the level of service and dedication that the Walters staff showed to us on the wedding day, Faith was a pro and helped to make sure that everything went seamlessly, from the rehearsal to the grand exit. Leading up to the wedding, the planning meetings were super helpful and we had so much fun attending all the venue showcases to taste the catering. Truly so grateful that we booked here and to have such a magical day of memories to look back on for the rest of our lives.

Paradise Cove at Lake Grapevine was the absolute perfect place for our wedding. The communication with the venue was absolutely great - they were attentive to all of our questions and kept us on schedule throughout the day. The outdoor and indoor spaces were ideal, allowing us to have our ceremony in the beautiful gazebo and then move the reception indoors. Tina, the owner, deserves 10 stars for her dedication to making our special day exactly as we envisioned. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage.

This venue has everything I was dreaming of for my wedding. The chapel and reception spaces are so beautiful and well maintained, plus the bridal suite is huge! My fiancé and I recently attended one of the showcases and got to try free food/drink samples and speak with their partner vendors in person, which was helpful and reassuring considering we didn’t live in the state throughout most of our planning time period- we will be using their partners for DJ, catering, and stationary.

Legends Hall at The Marq Southlake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the staff's communication style was professional, accommodating, and responsive via email. The venue itself is spacious and has an elegant layout with plenty of options to customize the space to our vision. On the day of our wedding, they had a dedicated manager on duty for the entire event, which provided us with peace of mind. They also arranged for security and made it easy for us to pay them separately, which was a nice added touch. While we were able to use our own vendors, we made sure to provide Legends Hall with the list ahead of time so they could approve everyone. Overall, Legends Hall at The Marq Southlake exceeded our expectations and helped make our special day truly unforgettable.

We began planning with Kayla B. about 6 months prior to our wedding day. From the first day, I knew she had our best interest in mind. Not only is she extremely detail oriented, she is also efficient and an excellent communicator. I knew nothing about planning a wedding, and Kayla truly led us through it all. I cannot express how happy we are to have had Kayla as our wedding planner. I’m writing this review from the beach in Mayakoba, because this is how stress free Kayla made our wedding day feel.

Our rustic, elegant venue was originally a horse farm that trained champions. In 2018, we converted our main barn into a venue. We wanted our venue to have a look all its own. We mixed old wood, rustic hardware, & treasures with new things to create the stand-alone one-of-a-kind look & vibe this venue has today. When you visit, you will see old wood mixed with twinkle lights, chandeliers, & antique stained glass from old church buildings. Putting these elements together has created a gorgeous warm & inviting space. Our venue also offers an attached covered pavilion(with drop-down windscreens for inclement weather) & twinkle lights above. This is an excellent place for most of our ceremonies. We love having the bride hidden behind the big wooden doors that slide open for her entrance! This fantastic space doubles as space for additional partying as the night goes on! We are dedicated to ensuring your event is fantastic & will be on-site

About wedding venues in Flower Mound, 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?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for. 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
300 guests$77,211
In Texas specifically, venues typically account for about 16% of your total wedding budget with couples spending an average of $6,932. This gives you plenty of room in your budget to customize other elements of your celebration that matter most to you and your partner.

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.

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in Texas?

Madera Estates in Conroe stands out for its commitment to accessibility with fully paved event spaces that accommodate wheelchair navigation throughout the property. You can host up to 330 guests here and the venue is frequently praised for physically walking through accessibility needs during the planning process. You'll also find excellent accessible options at Jennings Trace near Houston which offers single-level celebration spaces. Hummingbird Hill Weddings in Chappell Hill prioritizes inclusive design throughout their venue and The Preserve at Canyon Lake features wheelchair-friendly pathways connecting all major celebration areas. These venues ensure all your guests can fully participate in your special day regardless of mobility considerations.

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.

What Wedding Expenses Should You Budget for in Texas?
