Ashton Gardens

Beautiful venue. It's very private & elegant. Excellent choice for ceremony & reception.

Really wanted to have the wedding here. The staff was very friendly & informative. The place is fantastic. Only problem is it books up FAST.

Everything was perfect at the wedding, and we had such a great time! Ashton Gardens is amazing. I was blown away by how beautiful the ballrooms and chapel looked. The food was delicious, and the service was devine. My wedding coordinator, Shara, and the banquet manager, Randy, were so much fun to work with, they made my day stress free. I highly recommend this facility.

As the mother of the bride during a hectic holiday season the the professional staff at Aston Gardens made planning our daughter's wedding absolutely stress free. The wedding coordinater kept everything on track from the planning stage to the actual event. There were no surprises and everything went according to plan. The food was excellent and served without flaw. Being in a time sensitive business myself it was very much appreciated to have our timelines for every aspect of our event perfectly orchestrated. Our guests were very appreciative of that as well. I highly reccomend Ashton Gardens for all you future brides out there. It is an exceptionally beautiful place with a support staff to make all your dreams come true for your special day.

We had a great wedding!! We had fun and our guest had fun! The venue was exactly what we expected it to be and the staff was great! The staff was incredibly attentive to me and my husband and made sure we stayed on schedule, but the staff was also really attentive to our families and other people we let them know were VIPs. We're still getting compliments on how beautiful the wedding ceremony and reception venues were! Great place!

We were so impressed with Ashton Gardens! Kristina was absolutely amazing to work with - very patient through all of our questions and requests, great attention to all the little details, and very efficient and professional. We were able to set up the ceremony and reception just how we wanted them with her help and everything ran to plan. Ashton Gardens was fully supportive of us throughout the night, from bringing the bride/groom refreshments before the ceremony while getting ready, to helping all the timing and cues in the ceremony, to giving us updates on the bar tab throughout the evening. That's the kind of service you get here - top notch! Not to mention the chapel is absolutely beautiful. I don't think you can go wrong here, they really do take care of you. The food was probably the weakest part for me personally - the food at the tasting events was great but for some reason it wasn't as good on our wedding night. Overall though it wasn't enough to put me off, AG did an amazing job. Thanks!

It was a delight to do business with Ashton Gardens. We had Katelyn as our coordinator and she did a fantastic job!Anyone who has planned a wedding knows small things always go wrong- Katelyn was there to smooth them over every step of the way. Our florist forgot to send some candles we requested, no problem! Katelyn found some and set them up for us. Our DJ was a complete train wreck- Katelyn stepped in and helped recover.Ashton Gardens looks expensive, but for what you get, it is well worth the price. Our photographs look amazing, the food was great (splurge for the Mac n’ Cheese bar- your guests wont stop gushing over it!) and most of the vendors they recommend were equally as awesome to work with.The one complaint I have with Ashton Gardens is a small scheduling issue. Another bride’s rehearsal was booked while we were scheduled to use the chapel for pictures, so our florist was slightly delayed decorating the chapel and we were forced to do photos in other areas. Even though it was annoying at the time, we ended up getting a better variety of pictures for our album.Love Ashton Gardens, Love Katelyn, great success!!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Ashton Gardens! We had a beautiful Sunday afternoon wedding there and it was simply perfect! We received so many comments from our guests on how beautiful and breathtaking both the chapel and reception hall were. Our wedding coordinator Katelyn did an amazing job and I highly recommend her and Ashton Gardens!

This venue is gorgeous and so convenient of having the ceremony and reception place right next to each other. Katelyn our wedding coordinator there was amazing. She took care of everything. During our meetings with her, she thought of everything and took care of it. There was absolutely no stress on the wedding day. Everything went so smoothly and we had an absolute blast.

We did not have our wedding here....we had it at Le Jardin, but I will say that this venue is very nice. The staff is very friendly, and the venue is lovely. There is a winding staircase that is awesome if you want the Cinderella wedding effect at your reception. The chapel is very grand and nice, and the prices that they offer are pretty reasonable. The only reason why I did not choose this venue is because I wanted an outside wedding and they did not offer that at this venue. Good Luck!!

Food was excellent and the place was very elegant and inviting. Couldn't have picked a better venue.

I fell in love with Ashton Gardens the moment I walked into it. It is such a beautiful venue. I absoluetly love the chapel and the ballroom made me feel as if I were in a fairytale. The staff is so amazing and friendly and I am so happy that my husband and I decided to have our wedding at Ashton Gardens! Thanks to the team at Ashton Gardens for making our wedding day so perfect!

From the moment I drove up to Ashton Gardens, I knew this was the place my now husband and I were going to be married. The place is absolutely beautiful. Stefani Reed our wedding coordinator was wonderful to work with. Stefani was extremely prompt in returning all emails and phone calls. Stefani worked with us on our menu and we had the menu customized to our request. The food at Ashton Gardens was outstanding, and everyone that attended is still talking about how delicious the food was, and how absolutely beautiful the ceremony and reception turned out. I could not imagine us getting married anywhere else, it was absolute perfection.

Ashton Gardens was such a beautiful place to have a wedding. It was nice by itself and really looked amazing after the florist added her special touches designed by the bride. The food was amazing, service was good and we had plenty of room to be able to enjoy the day. Kristina, our wedding coordinator, was especially fantastic, keeping us organized from planning to execution, always with a smile. She was so responsive to our needs!

The service provided was exceptional, you certainly deserverecognition for a job well done. We truly appreciate yourhard work. Stefani Reed done an excellent job as our wedding coordinator

I recommend Ashton Gardens!!!! My wedding was perfect. Not only the ceremony but the reception. Ashton assigns to each couple a wedding coordinator and she is always there for you to help in any question/detail you need. The coordinator is very useful before the wedding but it is critical on the wedding day. In addition, the chapel is beautiful. It doesn't need much to look spectacular... The Ball Rooms are incredible. I thank you Ashton Gardens for an amazing experience and for making my wedding day as perfect as in my dreams!!!!P.S. The food was excellent!!Zachary & Alejandra

Ashton Gardens was a beautiful venue. We were extremely happy with everything they provided us with. The food was exceptional. The guest that attended told us it was the best steak they had ever eaten. Not only was it good. It was a nice size!It was convenient to have the wedding there and walk right over to the beautiful reception ballroom. The staff were extremely helpful and cordial.I would recommend this venue to anyone!! In fact, my other daughter will be married someday and I hope to have her wedding here.

We visited it and signed reserved our date on the spot! Gorgeous environment, incredibly helpful staff (seriously!), our guests raved about how elegant the rooms were and the food was amazing.

Ashton Gardens is a beautiful venue. My wedding day was perfect! Stefani was extremely helpful and did not forget any details. I could not have asked for a better staff or experience! I would highly recommend Ashton Gardens!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Ashton Gardens is AMAZING! My wedding was truly a fairy tale. The chapel and ballroom looked like a dream and everything was PERFECT! The staff was so professional and did everything possible to ensure everything was going to plan and PERFECT! My guest were speechless from the moment they walked in and saw the beauty of Ashton Gardens.. The food was the best I have ever had at a wedding, and my guests are still telling me how amazing the food was. And my wedding coordinator Danni was out of this world. She has the most beautiful personality and was my biggest help. I even thru my "bridezilla" moment she calmed me down and made me feel better. I have all my girlfriends saying they are going to get married there to. Once you see Ashton Gardens you will not need to see any further. AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!

Their venue is BREATHTAKING, even if you don't spend much to dress up the Chapel or Reception site then your guests will still be very impressed by how beautiful it is. If you choose them, then you MUST request Danielle Coleman for your coordinator because she is extremely helpful and easy to work with. She is gives valuable advice and directs your wedding party firmly but respectfully. Dani also helped me immensely after I was scammed by the first photographer I'd hired - so she recommended Layla from LeZu Photography, who did an AMAZING job!!! I was told that Ashton Gardens would warn their other clients about the first photographer and they would avoid working with him again (he never submitted their simple one-page contract after 3 months, anyway). So that made me feel alot better about working with AGardens, because they didn't want to be associated with that crook.Ashton Gardens wins their "Top Venue" awards every year for a reason. It's a wonderful place that will make your wedding absolutely memorable.

Totally amazing! All the staff bent over backwards to make sure everything was perfect and as stress free as possible. After the wedding we had a ton of compliments from guests.

It has been well over a year since my wedding and looking back I would not have changed a thing. The moment that I stepped into the chapel I knew that Ashton Gardens was the place! Everyone was very professional and helpful from the beginning. Our wedding planner was great and she handled every last detail. All I had to do was pick my venders but that was easy because I used all the recommended vendors by Ashton Gardens. My wedding was an absolutely perfect day and my husband and I thank Ashton Gardens for making this possible! I recommend Ashton Gardens to anyone who wants a stress and worry free wedding day with the most beautiful pictures ever!

Danni was amazing! She took care of everything we needed. It couldn't of happened without her. Cash was our bartender when we went for a food tasting and he was so friendly we wanted him for our wedding! He was just as great at the ceremony!!

Stefani was amazing. She is very sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I was very comfortable with her and felt I could trust her decision making during difficult times of planning during the wedding. Our reception area was to be held outside and it rained horribly the day of the wedding. Stefani already had plan B in effect and was ahead of the game. Our reception was moved inside the ballroom but maintained a warm candle and garden like feel thanks to the hard work of Stefani and her peers. I was very pleased with everyones hard work to make sure our wedding was perfect. I loved the special raspberry champaigne drinks that were created just for our wedding. Everyone loved them! I can not say how much we appreciate Stefani and Ashton Gardens for pulling off the perfect wedding for us in the midst of a downpour. The wait staff were amazing as well. When I complimented them on the great job they were doing at the reception , the staff person remarked something like "this is all for you, it is your special night and we are pleased to be here for you" It was very sweet and he really made us feel comfortable and special at our wedding and it pleased me to think that our guests were feeling the same. I will tell everyone what a great job Ashton Gardens did for our wedding and how everyone went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I especially loved the meeting with the taste test of the cupcakes and special champaigne drink. All involved were very sweet and clearly went above and beyond to please us on our special day. Thank you very much!! You are all amazing and will be fondly remembered!! Fantastic job!! You need 10 more just like Stefani, hold on tight to her, she is fantastic!

Stefani was great! I am so glad I had her as my coordinator. Everything was seamless and everyone has complimented on how wonderful everything was, especially the food. Great job!!!

Stef is amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was amazing. She is so friendly and a super coordinator! I love her!

Stephanie Reed/ Randy Position: coordinator/ operations manager. Comments on performance: Stephanie was awesome. Our wedding party is still raving about how organized and professional she was. Additionally, Randy was awesome. He was very patient with how particular I wanted the setup. Both were very professional and helped tremendously to put my mind at ease.

Danni answered all my questions in a timely fashion, helped me with my menu, and helped me the day of my wedding to get all my girls in and ready in time.

Stefani was great. She was very on top of everything. We'd describe her as friendly, knowledgable, and very professional. Our families were also pleased with her during the rehearsal and coordination during the ceremony.

Venue was great!!! Everyone was soo nice and the service was top notch!!!

Everyone at Ashton Gardens was WONDERFUL!! Our coordinator was Danni, and she was amazing!!! She answered all of our questions and helped us through the whole process. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and so much more! It was the perfect fairy tale day I'd dreamed of since I was a little girl. :) I would definitely recommend Ashton Gardens to anyone!

Danielle and Randy went beyond customer service, I loved Danni's personality, she is so awesome and we had a blast working with her. She sure made the special night go very smoothly. And Randy, what a guy, so helpful, so friendly, there was nothing that man did not do for us. We have had quite a few comments about 'how perfect this wedding was' people said if there were any flaws we never saw them. Several people asking on Facebook 'where is this beautiful place?' Thank you for making my daughter's wedding a perfect, beautiful and fun night.

We were honored to have Shara be our coordinator for such a significant beginning and union on our wedding day. It was an absolute pleasure having her there every step of the way, before, during and throughout the evening. We were so impressed by her tact, sense of humor and professionalism. with so many things going on during our wedding, she had a special way of letting us know whe was there making it run smoothly. Her effort and coordination with the entire Ashton Gardens staff made our day seem flawless by making us feel that our day was focussed on our family and us. For this we cannot thank her and the staff enough. Superb and incredible memory provided by nothing short of absolute excellence.

Stefani is an asset to your company. On the day of the wedding your expertise was very valuable. She did everything one could ask for and more. She provided insight to all aspects of the event and pulled it off perfectly.

I just want to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job. Danni was so good to us and was an awesome coordinator! She made it as less stressful as possible by keeping everyone and everything on tract and on schedule. We could not have done it without her. She should be #1 coordinator

Dani was great, she was very helpful and made sure the bride's day was stress free as she could get it. She was constantly assuring me not to worry about a thing and she would handle everything. She wa awesome. My wedding day went a lot smoother than it probably would if she hadn't been there. thank you so much for everything Danny!

Shara was amazing, she made our day so stress-free and eveything was perfect. Grace our server was soooo sweet. I can't remember the other staff members name, but they were all great, even the police officer. You guys made our day better than I imagined it to be. Thank you

Randy and Danni, such a wonderful job, everyone was so impressed with both Randy and Danni. Thank you both so much for all your hard work and for making my family and I feel so taken care of.

Stefani was wonderful, whe was very helpful and patient throughout the whole planning process. I really appreciate her help with rehearsal as well as her guidance througout the evening of the wedding. Randy was also very helpful and attentive during the wedding. The entire waitstaff also did a superb job, my guests were very impressed. Thank you for a wonderful and very memorable evening

Dani did a super job coordinating the wedding. I really didn't have to worry about a thing the day of because she had it covered. Also the wait staff was awesome at the wedding we had our own personal server (don't know his name) but he did a great job.

Dear every one at Ashton Gardens,I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so wonderful though everything. Everyone was so impressed with you and your amazing service, especially Sean and myself. We look forward to referring you to all our friends. Also I absolutely loved the wedding day, as did my and Sean's parents. I knew it would be excellent, but I just wanted you to know that we truly loved it.Thanks again!Kayla Lukavsky

Stefani Reed, I could not have made it without her. I have NEVER in my life dealt with a better wedding coordiantor. When I showed up on the big day she already had everything in place. I don't know how she did it but she just knew where everything went. She ran the rehearsal smoothly and was always there when I needed to have a question answered. She was my rock in an otherwise completely crazy day. Even when the bridesmaids abandoned me, she helped by fixing the bustle on my dress for my big entrance. The best part about Stephanie was her ability to handle everything and allow me to stop coordinating and just have fun and get married. I would have never believed I could have such confidence in someone but whenever I needed her I just turned and she was there. She went above even my expectations. Thank you Stephanie from the bottom of my heart.

Stefani Reed was wonderful. Incredibly patient with our many questions and answered everything. She gave perfect and much needed advice. I felt extremely comfortable with her. I would definately recommend her services and Ashton Gardens to any friend getting married.

We could not be more pleased with our decision to have our wedding ceremony and reception at Ashton Gardens. The chapel is breath- taking and the reception hall is very elegant. We have been told time after time by guests that our wedding was one of the most beautiful they have attended. Danielle was our coordinator and we were very impressed with her services. She walked us through all of the decisions and planning throughout the process, which is so helpful. When Danielle was not available, Stephanie responded to any questions my husband and/ or I had- we always had immediate attention. The staff at Ashton Gardens is very talented and really made our wedding amazing with their suggestions and ability during the wedding day to keep a tight (and smooth) schedule.When we signed the contract with Ashton Gardens, we were slightly nervous. While the venue was beautiful, we feared from other reviews that the staff may be rigid and reluctant to accommodate special requests. We did not experience this at all-- The staff at Ashton Gardens worked to make sure all of our requests were made. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, Ashton Gardens does not offer taste- testing to individuals. Instead, they host a taste- tasting event several times per year for all couples who have already booked. I know that it is difficult to ease the minds of those facing this situation, but their food is excellent! They have many sample menus for you to choose from and the chef will allow you to make modifications/ create dishes based on your taste as you approach your one- month meetings. We had a wonderful experience at Ashton Gardens and highly recommend this venue!

On behalf of my new husband and I the Wedding Ceremony and Reception were Wonderful, Beautiful and Mystical! All our close and distant families, friends and acquaintances loved the Ashton Gardens Chapel/ Reception Center....but most of all everyone loved the exceptional service your staff and servers gave them. I now understand why Danielle Darst, our wedding coordinator, is so important....those last minuet crises and changes ..... (like our wedding cake not arriving on time) could not take place in those "Irreplaceable Moments In Time"....without a professional like Danielle and the Ashton Gardens Team at the helm!

Danielle Darst and the Ashton Gardens Team smoothed out glitches and calmed a nervous wedding party. We are deeply grateful and have already recommended you to a family. The Operations Manager, Randy Garrett, who helped us beyond measure as well. A guest had an unfortunate accident and spilled oil all over the parking lot. He and the police officer communicated the guest's name and because of their efficiency, they were well taken care of. Randy made sure we left with the flowers and the cake stands. The guitar cake stand was accidentally taken to the dumpster, but he rescued it and with it, our deposit! We are so grateful to him. He was truly gracious and helpful. Danielle worked with the DJ when he seemed unsure of the mechanics of the audio system in the chapel. We, the wedding party arrived later than 6pm because a bridesmaid's car broke down and we had to rescue her. She worked with our late arrival without a fuss and because of her professionalism, she never seemed less than chipper, lovely and calm. We knew we were in good hands and trusted her to take care of us which she did with grace and care.

Everyone I worked with at Ashton Gardens was very friendly and helpful. Everything went perfectly on the day, I didn't have to worry about anything. The food at the reception was great. Couldn't have been happier! Anyone wanting a stress free wedding at a gorgeous location should get married at Ashton Gardens.

I don’t know where to begin. It was absolutely perfect! Everything was wonderful. I don’t have the tiniest complaint or suggestion for improvement. Everyone involved in the wedding was completely happy. And we all received so many compliments on everything from the beauty of the chapel and reception hall to the food and service. I even got compliments from young 20-something men who said it was fun and the best wedding they had ever attended. (This, from guys who think of weddings as something you have to suffer through for your friends.) You thought of so many little details (like serving water and food during photographs afterwards) that just made the whole thing easier. Everyone there was so helpful, especially Shara. She just pulled it all together, kept everyone calm with her confident upbeat attitude, and was always there when I needed her. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! P. S. The only problem I may have is setting the bar way too high for all my friends and relatives with unmarried daughters.

This venue was more than willing to accommodate me when they realized that I lost money by the closing of another venue that I had previously booked. I was out of town so they worked directly with my wedding planner. when I met the staff 3 weeks before our wedding day, they were extremely helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this venue!!!

Ashton Gardens is absolutely wonderful. We had our wedding there December 20th, 2008 and could have not asked for better. Our coordinator, Shara, was amazing. She made sure everything was on time moving perfectly smooth. Any questions during the planning process, she would have an answer for me immediately. I do not know what I would have done without her. She made our wedding day so amazing and unforgettable. I thank her so much for all her hard work. The food was wonderful!!! The chef knows what he is doing! We received many compliments on the how delicious the food was. Thank you Ashton Gardens for everything!!Diana & Sonny

Everyone who attended commented on the beauty and elegance of the venue and how amazing the food and staff were. With so much being taken care of “in house” I was able to breathe easy and know that everything would be taken care of. Shara answered EVERY question quickly and thoroughly. We could not have asked for anything better. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful for our guests and so special for us.

I loved every moment of my wedding and could not have asked for it to go any smoother. Shara, our wedding coordinator, was great. She was extremely prompt about answering all my many e -mails leading up to the wedding and was always willing to explain things to me or my parents. She ran the wedding fantastically. People never knew she was even there. Our wedding was remarkably on time and smooth. She did have to tell our photographer things like "15 more minutes", but she did not do this in a rude fashion. She was trying to keep us on the schedule we had planned TOGETHER. I understand being in charge of an event this big must be very difficult. Shara did a great job and kept us on track. There were things out of her control such as the rain and lack of umbrellas. She can not be blamed for these things. I have a huge family and it is hard to get them from one room to another on time, and she did an awesome job at it. Neither the groom nor I have anything but the best of memories from our experience. We both speak highly of the facility. I wanted ya'll to be aware of our opinions and experiences. Also, I don't remember his name, but the gentleman who ran the reception did a great job as well. All our cake was packed up for us, and he was very friendly to all. Also, thank you Ashton Gardens for the gift of the wine. We haven't opened it up yet but when we do we will remember our blessed day!

Cesar - I don't recall Cesar's last name or position, but soon after the reception started he introduced himself to me and my husband. Half way through dinner I started to feel a bit sick and asked Cesar if there was any pepto bismol. I found out later that he went to the store (in the rain) to pick some up for me. My husband and I thought that was above and beyond anything we expected and were very thankful for it.

Let's See. Everything at Ashton Gardens could not have been better. The Venue is gorgeous to say the least. It's nestled in the woods and the windows of the Chapel and Reception hall make for amazing pictures. The planning process was pretty seamless. I started out with Stefani Reed as my coordinator, but they switched me due to her taking another position. It got switched to Katelyn Kohli. At first I was wary because I wasn't informed of the change, but once she realized the miscommunication, Katelyn apologized and we met and everything was perfect. She responded very quickly to emails, got all my vendor agreements taken care of, just very very helpful. Flash forward to the wedding day. I did not hear about one single issue. Katelyn pretty much told me to not worry about anything, and honestly I didn't. I knew that I was in good hands and they were in control. The staff was amazing and Cesar (One of the staff managers I believe) would constantly keep on our table making sure we had food and drinks and that everything was okay. Guests raved about the food and everything. Alot of brides (not married at AG) told me they didn't get a chance to eat or enjoy themselves, but I will tell you. I ate AND enjoyed myself. They gave us time to eat and enjoy what was happening around us. They didn't pull us this way or that way, all of our vendors and the venue had it together!! They told us to let them know when WE were ready to do everything. They kept everything on schedule and everything ran so smoothly. This could of not been done without the staff at Ashton Gardens. I am soooo pleased with them. Couldn't of made a better choice!!!

Ashton Gardens is an excellent site for a wedding. You don’t get much help prior to ten days before the wedding day which is why we hired an outside wedding planner instead of using their on-site planner. I highly recommend using their planner as well. However, they deliver on everything that they promise. The food was outstanding. The reception staff went above and beyond to make sure that everything was “perfect.” We asked for a different set-up of the ballrooms, and they were very accommodating. The chapel and ballrooms are spectacular! The staff was always very helpful and polite. The only thing that would have made this venue better would have been the ability to plan ahead to be allowed on the grounds prior to one hour before the ceremony started. Due to this, we had to find another location for the bridal party to meet and have hair and makeup done and prior wedding photos taken. This made the day more rushed and stressful and we were not on-site to make sure the set-up was done correctly by the other vendors. (One of their preferred vendors that we used, Dream Bouquet, was a disaster.) However, we highly recommend Ashton Gardens.

I loved Ashton Gardens. It is a beautiful venue with the ceremony and reception hall all in the same location. You feel secluded with all the trees around you, even if you are in Houston! My wedding turned out beautiful and they were all very helpful. They even helped my greeter who had eaten a peanut sauce who was severly allergic to peanuts. They sent a worker to a nearby store to pick up medecine! The only complaint I had was that my wedding coordinator changed three times during the process (twice being in the last month)! But they did turn around and include liqour in bar package and they apologized numberous times. Overall, I would never choose any other place over Ashton Gardens!

I was over elated to get married here. Shara went above and beyond my expectations but her assistant did not decorate the venue with the items I left as I requested. It bothered me but I did not say anything because the wedding was over. Sometimes the little details getting blown over can make a difference in someone's opinion about the quality of service they receive. Yes, I am one of those people. Nonetheless, this is the best venue in the area for quality, beauty, price, and the staff. They are awesome!

All of Asthton Gardens staff were exceptional. They were all so easy to work with and very flexible to my needs. At first I thought it was going to be a pain to have to make sure all my venders that I used had liability insurance but it really wasn't. I found that a lot of my vendors that I wanted had already worked with Asthon Gardens and knew there policy. Lot of my vendors already knew about the contract and they just sent it in to my wedding coordinator Shara H. and she took care of it. They also give you a list of vendors who they have worked with in the pass and recommend, which that made it easy for me. I picked my florist Lindrew Floral from their list and Linora was wonderful to work with as well. Our family and friends raved about this venue. The exposed wood beams in the chapel added such and elegant touch to the ceremony. It was nice because we didn't have to add a lot of flowers/decorations to make it look beautiful. It was built with elegant and beauty in mind. Thank you. The Lebsacks

Although somewhat expensive, the venue was beautiful, the staff was very helpful and curteous and the food was good. It was well worth it!

My wedding at Ashton Gardens was basically perfect and was everything my husband and I had hoped for. The chapel where we were married was absolutely gorgeous!! Stefani Reed was our coordinator that AG assigned us and she was helpful and prompt to respond to my many e-mails. The food was amazingly good. The waitstaff were good at NOT taking me and my husband's plates away when we weren't at the table. It seemed that night everyone was pulling us in 101 different directions but each time we came back to our table our food was still there waiting for us, which we appreciated. I've heard from several former brides that they never really got to eat during their night. At AG that was not a problem. Something that really impressed my husband and me was when Cesar (I forget his position) ran out to the store in the rain to get me pepto bismal because I wasn't feeling well. I think the one downside to AG was the food minimum we were required to pay. Even after ordering several different hors d'oeuvres and having a 3-course dinner plus the sorbet intermezzeo, we still had a balance of about $1k left that either had to be used or we lost it. So we order the late night hors d'oeuvres and chocolate ganache station which very few people visited.

Ashton Gardens is amazing! I had so many compliments on the choice of venue. The place is so gorgeous, your mouth will drop when you see it for real. The food was very good. We choose the mushroom brushetta, chicken pot stickers and the potato skins for the hourderves. they were all great. And the London broil with their specialty potatoes is a must! Also the intermezzo adds a bit of elegance. The only problem is that they are very strict on the time of everything. OYu dont quit get enough time for the reception. Also the layout of the ballrooms is a bit tuff. We ad close to 200 guest and we had to split them in different ballrooms. And the other problem we had was the head table. I would have liked it raised and it wasnt big enough to fit all our wedding party. The table only sits 10... But other than that it is such a nice place!

Ashton Gardens is lovely. Guests still tell me what a wonderful venue it was, how beautiful it was. We were fortunate to have a beautiful day on our side, too. The chapel is intimate and architecturally beautiful. The acoustics were very good for our string quartet and vocalists (no microphone necessary for the singers). The ballrooms and the adjoining patios are roomy and attractive. The staff is professional and enthusiastic. The food is delicious. We were a little concerned that the facility doesn't offer tastings for each couple/event, but rather a group tasting where a hundred or so people come to see the facility and taste samplings from the menu. We shouldn't have worried: the food was delicious (which we discovered at the "group" tasting) and our guests enjoyed it all. The service was terrific. You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely loved my wedding and wish that the day wouldn't have gone by so fast!

Dealing with Ashton Gardens during my entire wedding process was such a pleasure! My consultant Stefani Reed answered all of my questions/concerns quickly and was very assuring throughout the process that she was there to help. Ashton Gardens was clearly the top choice for me when choosing a ceremony site and reception venue because not only are the chapel and ballroom BEAUTIFUL, but the staff are true wedding professionals and have been in the business for years. My wedding went off without a hitch. Also, the food is delicious and I've gotten several positive comments about my hor d'oeuvers and the entrees.

Everyone raved about our wedding at Ashton Gardens - the place pretty much sells itself with such a beautiful setting. The chapel has an all glass encasement at the altar to see nature outside during the ceremony - perfect for an outdoorsy feel without having to sweat in Houston heat. The ballroom with the winding stairs and high ceiling and all glass was complimented on and just gave such a spacious Cinderella feeling. The food was definitely 5 star quality! There's no other place I would rather have had my wedding. Thanks to Shara, our wedding Coordinator at Ashton Gardens and the rest of the team for a job well done!

Ashton Gardens is BEAUTIFUL. They've done so many weddings that they know exactly how to make it run smoothly! We started working with our planner, Stephanie (and Shara who left for maternity leave) about 30 days before the wedding on all of the details. When we had any questions before our 30 day meeting, they were very helpful and quick to answer. I was nervous about giving control over to someone who I barely knew, but after our first meeting I was completely comfortable that they were going to do an awesome job with my wedding. Although the price is a little bit more than other venues in the North Houston area, I feel like it was worth it. Our pictures turned out beautiful! Guests were commenting about how amazing the chapel was and how pretty their own personal pictures were turning out. We were able to get a to-go box of food to eat at the hotel after the reception, and my mom took home about 5 tupperware full of left over cake. The food was really good - I highly recommend the ham and the gnocchi. Our four hours went by super fast, but we were able to work with the DJ to do all of the dances and speeches right after each other to allow more time after the "formalities" to party. All around, AG was great! The venue is beautiful, the planners are great at what they do, and the staff is really nice! We had a perfect wedding thanks to them!

Ashton Gardens was such a pleasure to work with. My hubby and I live in Las Vegas, my husband's family lives in France, and my family lives in Texas; however, Ashton Gardens pulled us all together so we felt included in the process. Our coordinator was there when I changed my mind at the last minute or forgot to mention that I needed her to put together my candy buffett and pew rings. She was always calm which kept us calm. Not to mention, the location is so beautiful. I actually recommend a day wedding at this location because of the view.

Their staff was tremendous. They helped make my day incredibly special and exactly like I wanted it. It is a beautiful venue, you get all of the beauty of outdoors without the bugs or rain. The ballrooms are gorgeous and everyone thought my wedding was much more expensive than it actually was! Highly reccommend.

I absoultely loved working with the people at Ashton Garden's from the day I walked onto the site it was perfect services by the staff. Lindsey the lady that showed me around was very professional and went over what everything would cost for the date that my husband and I had picked. The wedding corrdinator set everything up for us on the day of the wedding (for the reception as that was all I had at this location, although the chapel is beautiful). Our pictures what we wanted on the tables where the gifts were going to be where our wedding book was going to be, in other words all we had to do was show up on the day of the wedding. We didn't necessarily like everything on our menu option, but they changed it for us with no problem taking off what we didn't want and adding what we did. It all made for a very eligant wedding reception.

Beautiful Venue for a wedding. Loved the decor and elegance. Overall, it was a beautiful wedding with a few hiccups because of our DJ, not Ashton gardens fault. The wedding planner was a bit distracted, but she was still ok. They do require EVERY vendor you have to buy insurance (which is a pain in the butt). They were flexible with us on the bar options, which was great. And the food was unbelievable. Everyone still talks about how much fun our wedding was. I do highly recommend Ashton Gardens.

Beautiful chapel! It was the entire reason we decided to go there. The people are professional and willing to help when they can (some stuff they won't do). The food was AMAZING and we had a TON of it! Not a huge fan of the dance floor but it was sufficient enough. Overall a wonderful experience even with the huge rainstorm and power outage that occurred before the ceremony.

Great location. Wonderful Food and awesome, professional crew. Only downside is that the time slots for weddings are too short and the event can feel very rushed. Ashton Gardens does not really allow for personalized wedding time choices and the event is so choreographed down to the minute, that it is hard to simply sit back and enjoy the wedding and reception.Otherwise, the chapel and reception rooms are execellent and everyone is so wonderful to make your wedding dream come true..

The location was amazing!!! We wanted a great location for family and friends to embody the ambiance of a perfect wedding. This was the perfect place. We spent a little more than we wanted to but it was worth it. The staff was accommodating and Laura Weigner did a great job of keeping us on schedule without being overbearing. I would recommend Ashton Gardens as a location for anyone who wants to plan a memorable wedding. When it was over I was not only happy to be married to the most amazing man ever, but to have an a beautiful wedding in the process.

simply beautiful

I had a perfect wedding day at Ashton Gardens. I only wish it could have lasted longer! The whole day was such a blur. Ashton Gardens is a beautiful venue and all of their staff (coordinators, management, receptionists, and waitstaff) are excellent! If I had to re-plan my wedding, I would definitely have it at Ashton Gardens again!

Ashton Gardens is a beautiful venue. Food was delicious and service was awesome. Our wedding coordinator, Danielle, was on the ball and always where we needed her! Highly recommend this venue.

I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful place to have a wedding. You definitely get the outdoor wedding feel inside. The numerous amounts of windows overlooking nature was wonderful. All of the staff was wonderful. Our wedding planner Shara was great, never did i have a doubt in my mind about anything to do with the wedding. The food is absolutely wonderful, I'm still getting comments 3 months later about how great the food was. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone in the Houston area.

Ashton Gardens looked picture perfect from the get-go. Photos truly do not do the place justice, because it is much more beautiful in real life. The staff were delightful and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and the venue looked absolutely at its best.The biggest downside was the strict schedule, which left us very little time to prepare beforehand, and felt a little like it was a rushed process to get from one thing to the next. To us, it felt like they were trying to push as many people through the doors in order to maximize their profits, rather than genuinely enable people (especially us poor stressed-out brides!) to truly enjoy the biggest day of our lives.Having said that, I would highly recommend the venue. Just be ultra-prepared before the big day as there isn't much time when it comes.

Our coordinator was Kristina and she was fantastic. Very professional and very helpful. She sent us the notes from the meetings we had so we knew everyone was on the same page. I was a little concerned about how the events would segue and they did so effortlessly. The venue is expensive and very particular about the vendors you use. My sister is a wonderful baker and as she had made the cake for my elder sister's wedding I had wanted her to do the same for me, but Ashton Gardens requires their vendors to have a certain kind of insurance (I can't remember what kind, but some bakeries like Dessert Gallery didn't carry it, though it seems designated wedding cake vendors do). Furthermore they hold up to 3 weddings a day so you don't have much flexibility in time. Also be aware that you can't schedule your rehearsal until 30 days before the event date. My mother-in-law was not happy about that as she was trying to schedule the dinner and couldn't get a commitment as to the time. They have mass tastings of the food so you may not get to taste your exact menu. However, the food was great, especially the salmon. We loved the chef when we met with him.

Beautiful establishment! I wouldn't have changed it for anything. However, we did have a "candlelight" wedding which was late at night, and the service was not nearly up to par. I, of course, was wrapped up in the night and being catered to, so I didn't notice it myself, but my parents/family members/ friends all had something to say about it. Needless to say, by the time we got back from our honeymoon, my dad had written a 4 page typed letter of complaints to them. I know this sounds horrible, but the wedding really was beautiful...plus it was 7/7/07, so it was a hectic day or everyone involved.

Pretty place and chapel is beautiful. They book a lot of weddings so there was little time for picture before hand.

Ashton Gardens is such a beautiful venue we worked with Shara and she was so great and funny to work with... she kept the day moving so seamlessly! She was one of the highlights that made Ashton Gardens great to me..... I have only a couple of complaints... 1. there was this guy who worked for Ashton Gardens (Didn't get his name) but in front of all my guests he yelled at my photographer and made an unnecessary scene before our exit.... even when he talked to me he was rude. 2. the other complaint was time, everything from beginning to end was only 5 hours I wish it could have been longer but I booked them knowing they are on a time regiment because of weddings after mine.... Overall though everything else was perfect.... Food amazing! All the guests truly enjoyed themselves... and everyone else who I worked with was truly great... Ashton Gardens is pricey but we booked a Sunday which saved so much more than an average wedding does, and they include food, decor, tables, chairs, linens, wedding coordinator, security, and more. It helped so much to balance everything else out.

I LOVE Ashton Gardens!!!! There were a few mishaps...The AC was out during the entire ceremony, the Coordinator was not answering calls or emails, and finally the coordinator was changed 2 weeks before our wedding. Although all of these things happened, our day was BEAUTIFUL!! So, I don't believe this was a situation that would happen frequently at Ashton Gardens, but non the less, I still believe it's right to share it.

We only used the chapel at Ashton Gardens, because most of the packages with a reception were pretty pricey. The chapel alone cost $1000. I will say, however, that the chapel is AMAZING. We could not have picked a more perfect place!!! I would recommend booking a wedding during the daytime. With all of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the chapel, and the greenery outside, it would really be a shame to have your ceremony at night.Our overall experience at Ashton Gardens was mostly pleasant. They are very strict about time schedules and rules and contracts. We were only alloted one hour for rehearsal the day before, which was a little stressful. You also must be out and cleaned up by your wedding "deadline" so that the next wedding can come in. Since the time slot is only two hours, this doesn't leave much wiggle room for getting ready, setting up, having the ceremony, taking photos, and cleaning up. I definitely felt in a rush most of the time I was there. They also require that you have a wedding coordinator who has quantifiable experience. If you do not, they will provide you with one for a generous sum. Luckily, we had a friend who had experience. The one area that was fairly flexible was the use of the sound equipment. Our coordinator was able to work the microphones and speaker system without hired help, so that saved us a little on using their dj.All in all, I would not trade my experience at AG for anything in the world! The day there was so beautiful, our guests are still oohhing and ahhing over a year later!

They take care of everything for you, but it is very expensive and difficult to afford. They are very structured & scheduled (you choose from a number of options that they provide) which in my case was very helpful because it made it easier to tell our families "no" to stupid demands and I could say, "the place doesn't allow it," and let that be the end of it. I will say that despite the fact that we had to have a "bare bones" wedding package (which was still like $10,000!), we were always treated with respect and like our business was important.

Ashton Gardens has a beautiful chaple. We had a beautiful ceremony. It wasn't in our budget to do everything there, so we just had our ceremony.

The place is georgeous, but I would get a wedding coordinator as they are helpful but not as much as you would like.

I loved Ashton Gardens and was very glad I got married there. But looking back on it today, I feel the strict timeline made my wedding more stressful. Considering I could not get to the facility until my access time, I was incredibly rushed. I did not get the time to relax and take in all the excitement for the day because I was too busy stressing out. I think when a bride pays the money I paid, they deserve to be catered to. If I wanted to get there at 1 p.m. on my wedding day, they should have let me, permitting I was the only wedding that day. And if people come by during the day to check out the facility for their event, I think seeing a bride getting ready for her big day would make it even more real for the prospect.The rest of the event was great. The food was wonderful and the facility looked picture-perfect.

This venue was more than we wanted to spend, but we splurged on it since I fell in love with the chapel.Overall, we were pleased with how everything turned out. They have a very strict timeline, but I didn't feel as rushed as I expected. There were some things we would do differently if we could, and we have a few minor complaints about the reception setup and food: the centerpiece petals were the wrong color, they were stingy on cake cutting, and they completely didn't serve one of our hot passed appetizers. But we spent the food minimum, and everyone was full, so it wasn't a big deal. Service was good. I highly recommend the food action stations (pasta, mashed potato, and chocolate ganache); they were the best food of the night.

My wedding at this facility was beautiful, however, the company was completely unprofessional. I do not recommend them because their staff was extremely rude to us after we had paid them a large amount of money to have our wedding there. Basically, at our reception, many of our guests complained that the bridal cake was taken away before they could get a piece, and we were never given our leftover cake. Where did our cake go? A reasonable question to ask...all Ashton Gardens did about the situation was change their story constantly...first they couldn't give us the leftover cake because it "fell apart", then they couldn't give it to us because they had served all of it and they said the had videotaped evidence. We called their bluff and asked to see the videotape, and then they made up an excuse about their videotapes automatically being erased after a certain amount of time. Yes, it is annoying that our guests did not receive the cake that we had paid for---but the REAL reason I am not recommending this company is because they were so incredibly rude to me. I politely asked them if they could offer us some form of recompense for our cake, and they were very snide and implied that I was lying. If they had been nice and said "I'm really sorry about our mistake" instead of being rude, I would have recommended them.

My family and I were very disappointed in the way my wedding day was handled. Our coordinator was nowhere to be found when we needed her. There was no AC in the bridal dressing room, and no drinks or snacks that they had promised. The coordinator rushed us through our pictures, therefore I was not able to get all the pictures that I would have liked. The food was wonderful, but when the wedding was over there was a lot left over and my parents, who paid for the food, didn't get to take of it home. And the to-go plate for my husband and I consisted of a few crackers, some cheese, and a couple of pieces of shrimp. We were extremely disappointed in the professionalism of the coordinator. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I absolutely love this venue, but the staff and timeline that they force you to adhere to are just insane and ridiculous! Each wedding seems to be a "drive-by" affair where they care more about making money than that a wedding that happens once in a lifetime is going on. My coordinator was very immature and rude most of time and did not seem to care that I was the bride and I was paying her to do everything. She complained to my groomsmen about where I wanted things up and ragged on my cake lady more than once. I just did not find it very appropriate and wish that she had had a better attitude. She rushed us through the entire day and we barely even got to eat our cake or our meal. One thing that needs to be changed at this venue is that a buffer hour needs to be added between the ceremony and the reception to be able to take pictures. It was just not enough time. Don't get me wrong, this is such a beautiful place, but it needs new staff and owners. I hope the venues that they are building in Dallas and Atlanta are staffed by better people.
