Butler's Courtyard

This place is top knotch! Fantastic personalities and such a beautiful venue. They made us really enjoy our day and I thank them so much for that!

This venue was amazing! I would recommend this place to any bride who like myself, has a million other things to do besides planning every minute detail of a wedding. (No offense to you ladies who put in the time and effort to make sure your special day goes off without a hitch, but as a full-time student, part-time teacher, I barely have time to properly feed and clothe myself.) Amanda and Janice and everyone else at Butler's took care of everything. They are super flexible and the options they offer can suit any taste or budget. The space is perfect for anyone who likes a vintage/rustic feel, but it's also subtly elegant. The absolute best thing about Butler's is that depending on how you choose to compile your package, everything is included, with the exception of a photographer and officiant. This was a lifesaver! One of my main concerns once the afterglow of being newly engaged wore off was having to run all over Houston like a woman possessed looking for various vendors. Getting married at Butler's solved that problem. All in all, the staff ensured that I had a wonderful experience, my wedding was beautiful and my family and friends thoroughly enjoyed themselves, which in the end is all that matters.

My wedding was beautiful to say the least. There was not one thing that I could complain about. The staff at Butler's tend to your every need. Your guests feel at home in the atmosphere. The vendors you work with through Butler's are helpful and fantastic. I highly recommend Butler's.

I fell in love with the Butler's Courtyard in League City when I first saw it at the Bridal Extravaganza in Houston, and I was hooked from the moment we walked in. They took impeccable care of me, my groom, and our families throughout the planning process. Our friends are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was and how much fun they had. We were able to stay at the facility the whole day to get ready (I had over 10 people getting hair and make up done!), and it was so relaxing, comfortable, and FUN! Butler's Courtyard made our wedding the BEST day of our lives, and I do not have enough wonderful things to say about the facility and the staff! They have weddings down to an art and a science, they will take AMAZING care of you, and your wedding will be stress-free. What could be better?

Janice, Nancy, and Amanda were wonderful throughout the entire process. They were very accommodating and willing to let us do what we wanted to personalize our wedding. The day was perfect and everything was flawless. I am so grateful that I chose Butler's Courtyard!

I would like to thank Amanda and Nancy and the rest of the staff at Butler's Courtyard for making the wedding for my children such a beautiful and memorable event. Thank you for your personal attention and professional handling of this very special day. From start to finish a satisfying experience. We enjoyed planning of this event almost as much as the wedding itself!

We had guests from here in Texas, Florida, China, Scotland and Taiwan and they all raved about the venue and your fantastic service. The compliments continued long after the wedding day! You made this event an enjoyable and memorable day for our family and our friends. It is because you take a sincere interest in your customers and we really appreciate that.

It was an AMAZING experience it was for me to get married at Butler's Courtyard! Nancy handled everything so well and it really was so easy. All my friends and family were so impressed with the staff and the facility. They made me feel like I was the one and only wedding they have ever done, like I was really special, and not just one of many brides who they see every week. I am so grateful that we chose Butler's Courtyard for our wedding and reception. It really was my dream wedding!

Butler's Courtyard was the most beautiful, special, and intimate place to get married! They thought of absolutely everything and were so willing to work with us to tailor the wedding and reception to our personalities and preferences! Even though they are very busy, they made me feel like I was the only bride they were concerned about. They were willing to answer any and all questions I had (and I had a lot!), and they were so full of resources, preferred vendors, and suggestions that I hardly had anything to to do myself! We only had a 3 month engagement, so it meant a lot to have a venue that worked with us and took care of us so well! The place was absolutely perfect and beautiful- even outside in August! Everything ran smoothly- my friends said I was the calmest bride they had ever seen, and it was because Janice and Amanda handled everything and I had nothing to worry about! We got so many compliments about the venue, and I am so glad we chose Butler's Courtyard!

Nancy and Janice are old family friends but they treat ALL their brides like family! Butlers courtyard is AMAZING! They have lots of different packages depending on what you want and what menu you would like. They were very affordable and worth every penny! Their prices include pretty much everything, including peace of mind. Janice and Nancy are so wonderful. They handle everything involved in your reception (and ceremony is you choose to have it there) for you and they do a great job making sure that no one messes with you or your special day. They're like protective momma bears over their brides! The setting of Butlers is beautiful, rustic, outdoors and indoors, and does not need decorating whatsoever! It's so exquisite on it's own. Book with Butlers! You will definitely not regret it! Your bridal stress level will thank you!

We had a great time at Butler's Courtyard. Till this day we still get complements from our guest saying how much fun they had and how beautiful Butler's is. We were all satisfied by the service from the professional staff, food, cake, DJ Mark, and of course the great job from Janice. If you really want to have a stress free wedding day this is the place to go with. Butler's has a great team and we highly recommend this venue.

From the moment I drove up to take a tour, to the moment I stepped into my limo, to 6 months after our wedding, BOTH women, Janice and Nancy were like my extra mommies to help with arranging my Magical day. No question was left unanswered, and I never once felt over whelmed because both women helped me to have full confidence in them and left me with ABSOLUTELY no worries. I have recommended my friends and family to have social events there and they haven't had any issues either. Once you're a Butlers Courtyard Bride you'll never want to leave. OH, did I mention they allowed my "baby" (120 lb doberman) to come and share the special day with our family. That meant a wole lot to my husband and me. SO, all in all, if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't make any changes. Butler's Courtyard gives you all the attention you need. So, if you're looking for a perfect wedding venu this is THE place.

The total experience provided by Janice and her team at Butler's Courtyard was everything we could have ever wanted! Not only did our event take place with four months of planning, but the staff helped execute our vision flawlessly! Organization was what we needed, and we recieved it and then some!! The veune is romantic and the staff made us feel loved and welcomed that we didn't want to leave!! Thank you so much for giving us the wedding we dreamed of!!

Butlers was wonderful, and really made the whole process of planning and executing a wedding as stress-free as possible. Janice was very understanding, lots of good tips and advice, and so helpful on the actual day. The use of Rose Cottage was unique, and eliminated a lot of the stress about dressing, driving, etc., and the pictures in front of the Christmas decorations were so special. Can't recommend it more highly.

I could not have asked for a better Venue for my wedding day. Butler's Courtyard was AMAZING in every aspect. Everyone always told me that nothing will be perfect but my wedding WAS PERFECT. If i had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. Thank you Butler's Courtyard for making the wedding of my dreams, a reality

Butler's is AMAZING. I thought planning a wedding from San Antonio would be extremely difficult, but with the packages available it made it simple. Their preferred vendors helped with the search and they made me feel like planning a wedding was too easy. I even had my meal catered by Red River BBQ, which was exactly what I wanted. They really do live to help others with their dream day.

The ability to get ready at the Rose Cottage is amazing, and it is extremely helpful to be able to have everyone come and help you get ready. Not to mention you can bring the necessities for mimosas into the cottage. It was a stress free day!

I could not think Nancy enough for her help on the wedding day. Permanent stain lipstick got on my dress an hour before we were to leave for the church. She was a savior and scrubbed on my dress with oxy clean for 45 minutes to get it out. AMAZING!!!! I do not know what we would have done without her. She saved the day!

AMAZING!!! Janice was the coordinator for our wedding, and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Everything was perfect, and there was only one small mishap with flowers missing from my cake, and she got it fixed before I even saw it. They were so flexible and reasonably priced. Most of my firends have gotten married for double what we paid, and to this day folks who were at both, state our wedding was the most beautiful and the most fun! I had no idea where I was supposed to be or what I should be doing, and they just told me where to be when I needed to be there for the dances, cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss, etc. I would have been lost without them!! Best venue ever!

When my daughter and I began to look for a venue in the Galveston/Houston area, we initially were looking at other sites; my son and daughter-in-law had a wonderful wedding at Butler's Courtyard 4 years ago and my daughter felt a different location would help distinguish her wedding from theirs. However, as we looked, we kept comparing the other places to our earlier experience at Butler's. As we narrowed our choices and toured the sites with the groom, we instantly all knew that Butler's was definitely the right choice for their wedding. Every aspect of Butler's is exceptioinal. The atmosphere is warm and elegant. All areas are beautifully decorated and the landscaping is lovely. This is the only place we saw that has a cottage for the girls AND a place for the guys to spend the wedding day relaxing and getting ready. Janice and the staff are wonderful; we even had guests comment on how impressed they were with the staff. Their expertise and advice were invaluable throughout the planning. Their attention and oversight to all the details on the wedding day removed the stress and worry about achieving our version of the perfect day, allowing us to enjoy every special moment. Also their prices are competitive which made it easy to stay within our budget. We paid for the reception to go an extra hour, which I highly recommend; everyone was having too much fun dancing to leave after 4 hours! The caterer, Jula the cake baker, and the DJ that are included with the venue were also great and easy to work with. The food was delicious, the cake was beautiful and yummy, and the DJ's mix kept everyone on the dance floor. Their list of preferred vendors was very helpful for selecting a florist (we used Dream Bouquet-gorgeous flowers) and photographers (OMC Studios- they perfectly captured the beauty of the bride and the joy of the day). And my daughter's concern that her wedding would be seem like her brother's because of the same location was unfounded; hers was beautifully and uniquely her own.

My wedding was like a fairy tale. Thanks to Nancy and Janice. Everything was planned and prepared. Everyone was professional and pleasant making us comfortable. It was absolutely perfect. Thank you butlers courtyard for making my wedding day so dreamy. Especially thank you again Nancy for being so patient since we had some language barriers.

Butler's Courtyard gave us the most memorable, amazing wedding ever. The entire planning process and "production" was completely stress-free. Things I mentioned once became reality on my wedding day. My family and friends can't stop telling me what an amazing wedding we had. Butler's Courtyard was the only place that created an entire wedding day for the Bride & the Groom. We had our own houses to get ready and relax in before the ceremony. Every other venue I looked at offered a Bridal dressing room and a men's restroom or I had to get ready somewhere else and show up in a car. My other married friends wish they had used a full-service venue. I didn't have a million people coming to ask me qestions all day, I actually got to enjoy my wedding day. And I enjoyed it tremendously because of Butler's Courtyard.

When we began to plan our wedding, we were very nervous about a few things -- how much everything was going to cost, how we were going to pull everything together (not knowing much about event planning), and how to personalize our ceremony and reception.

By a stroke of sheer luck, we found Butler's Courtyard and fell in love with the venue and the team there. Over the months of planning with Janice, all of our fears went away, as we realized that they weren't trying to price gouge us, they knew exactly how to pull everything together, and they welcomed our ideas and decisions to make everything suit us as a couple.

I've heard absolute horror stories from brides about their wedding days, but I've got zero complaints about mine. It was absolutely perfect and drama free, and that has everything to do with our choice of location. Butler's Courtyard lets the bridal party spend the whole day onsite, getting ready and relaxing, and when it's time for the reception, you'll find that your guests feel at home and want to stay and hang out with you rather than rushing home.

Can't say enough great things about Butler's Courtyard!

I just can't say enough about Butler's Courtyard. I am so happy that I chose to have my wedding there. If you want to have the wedding of your dreams and want to work with a very professional team. Then you definately want to book with Butlers.

My husband and I decided to get married over spring break and the whole thing was planned by June, leaving our last month before to wedding to be relatively stress free. Planning our wedding while working and going to school from across the state would have not been possible without the help of my mother and Nancy. Butler's Courtyard provided a great backdrop for the pictures that my husband and I will use to tell the story of our magical day to our children. They treated us like family and made it feel like we were at home through the whole experience. The cottage and the shop areas that were provided for us to prepare for the wedding in were unmatched by any of the other venues that we looked at. David, the DJ, was very professional and helpful in preparing the music for the ceremony and reception (even when one of the musicians cancelled the day of the ceremony). I recieved great feedback from my guests as well telling me that not only was I well taken care of, but my guests were too. The cake from cakes by Jula was beautiful and delicious. Jula was great about helping us to pick the flavors and design for our cake.

What a magical place! Butler's truly made all of my wedding dreams come true! Nancy, Janice and the entire Butler's team were so very wonderful to work with. They were helpful through every step of the wedding planning process and welcomed my many visits with open arms. By placing faith and trust in their professional hands, I was able to enjoy every moment of my wedding day. From the tour of the facility a year and a half before my wedding to running through bubbles to our limo, the time spent with/at Butler's is forever memorable. Thank you, Butler's Courtyard, for exceeding my expectations of capturing the perfection, charm and love I wished to feel on my special day!

You won't find a better place than Butlers to have your wedding at. The Ladies are on top of your every need. The execution is performed flawlessly. They even helped me celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary by setting up a chandelier and a table for me to surprise my wife for dinner for two on under the tent. It was just her and I and it was the most romantic dinner ever! This place is amazing.

This place is something that you cannot describe. It is a beautiful place and what makes it better is you get the whole place all day. The boys get to hang out in their own house and the same with the girls. There are many amazing spots for pictures. They are a place that takes care of everything and you can just sit back and relax. My husband and I really enjoyed being there and the women there really care and really made it a dream come true. This is the only place you can go to and get a whole house instead of a small room with all your bridesmaids and bride and mothers. This place is definitely the dream location for you to relax and know that you can set everything aside and just relax and take in the things that happen on your wedding day.

I had the absolute best time with Nancy, Janice and Shawna. They saved me a lot of drama and stress. Even my husband says Janice was awesome!! BTW, I think they treat their clients BETTER then their own kids. They know why!!!! I love you girls!!!

This place is too awesome!

It would be completely in possible to describe the day, the wedding, and the reception. It was busy, but soooo much fun! You get the entire facility to yourself, with the staff attending to you the whole day. The ladies took care of the events for the day, and I just had fun with my girls! It was like a movie the whole day. I really didn't believe it could be so good. -Thank God for the pictures to prove it!

As the mother of the bride, I was looking for a venue that would take care of everything that needed to be done without me having to stress out and do all of the work. When my daughter and I drove up to Butler's Courtyard, she immediately knew this was the place she wanted to get married at! The whole venue is gorgeous, and there is not a background for pictures that is not breathtaking! The staff is so helpful, and on the Big Day you couldn't ask for more professional, caring people. I highly recommend this venue to any family who wants to have their wedding somewhere that you feel like part of their family. It was an incredible experience, and our guests said they had never been to a more exquisite, fun and precious wedding. If you are looking for an exceptional place to make wonderful Wedding Day memories, look no further than Butler's Courtyard!

Best day of my life thanks to the amazing staff at Butler's. Not only were Nancy and Janice and their office staff so wonderful in planning and executing my wedding, but their service staff was so friendly and really treated me and my guests like royalty.

I am appauled at some of the comments below because you will be hard pressed to find a staff that comes close to the one at Butler's Courtyard! And especially for the price of what you get! Janice and Nancy went above and beyond to make my day special for me, even had several little surprises that I won't give away for other brides! The food was amazing, the cake was AWESOME and far exceeded my expectations (the baker made it off of a drawing Janice did for me!). I don't know who else has tons of spare time on their wedding day, but I appreciated everything they helped with. They took care of things that I had forgotten we even discussed weeks and months earlier! We were treated like royalty and I would highly recommend Butler's Courtyard to any bride who wants one of the most beautiful settings in Houston, outstanding service, a fair price, and run by other classy ladies! There was not one request overlooked, and those ladies really know how to throw a party for one busy bride! Thank you to everyone at Butler's! My guests didn't even talk about my dress, all they mentioned was how great of a location that was! And hint hint ladies....it is BEAUTIFUL at sunset and dark when the courtyard is lit up. Summer is too hot...do an evening wedding!

I loved Butlers Courtyard!!! Everyone is really helpful and experienced and It is so beautiful!

LOVED Butler's Courtyard! The venue is absolutely beautiful. Nancy and Janice are amazing! They were very helpful in planning my most special day. We had very little to worry about since they provide food, cake, DJ, planning, and the venue. They had an OpenHouse where we were able to meet the different venders.
The cake by Jula was amazing! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she was able to incorporate our colors into it and make it our own. Plus it was delish!!
If you are searching for venue for your wedding definately take a tour of Butler's Courtyard. You will fall in love with it!

Butler's Courtyard was amazing. The ladies that run the Courtyard are angels in disguise and will work with your budget and timing and are very flexible. They allowed me to pick my own decorations if I wanted to or they also had their own if I wanted to use theirs. The wedding went extremely smoothly.

Butler's Courtyard is an excellent venue for your wedding. They will take care of everything, even the things you forgot.

Having my wedding at Butler's was like having it at the house I grew up in. Here they don't treat you like clients but like family. They work with you on every detail to make sure your day is everything you imagined and more. When it came time to decide where to hold the reception, there was no question and now after the fact, there is still no question I made the right/best decision. Thank you Nancy, Janice and the rest of the Butler's family for making our day absolutely magical!!

Butler's is too amazing!!! Janice took such good care of us. Their entire staff was professional and pleasant making everything run so smoothly. We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding here. I would totally recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful place for a wedding ceremony or reception. They saved me a lot of stress throughout the whole planning process as well.

We had an awesome experience with Butler's Courtyard. Everything was absolutely beautiful. We did not have to worry about a thing, everything ran smoothly and it was very stress free. I would totally recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful place for a wedding ceremony or reception.

Butler's Courtyard will take such good care of the bride! They make sure you are happy all the way through the planning process and cater to your every whim on the day of your wedding. You will feel like a queen!

We used a different venue other than Butlers Courtyard, however, we had staff of butlers courtyard help us plan and put on our wedding!! They came out the day of our wedding an even stayed for the ceremony and reception. We had our wedding in a church, but the suggestions that to me seemed like the tiniest details made all the difference!! From the lighting, to the cake placement, to where it would look best all to stand, even to the giving of the rings and the most important KISS!! We did not have to worry about one minor detail becuase the people at Butlers Courtyard really knew what weddings are all about and helped us make it a really special day for everyone!

Janice and her staff were extremely helpful from day 1. Since we were planning the wedding from out of state, she was there everytime I needed her! The Butler's team helped with EVERYTHING. The food was delicious, the cakes were gorgeous and the venue was perfect for our wedding of about 100 guests. The ambiance of this place is so romantic and makes you really feel like a princess on your big day. I would absolutely recommend Butler's Courtyard to even my closest friends.

My entire day was stress free. The whole planning process was very relaxed. The entire staff worked very efficiently to provide my guests with everything they could ever need.

We both loved Nancy and Janice and all the staff at Butler's. Our wedding was beautiful and ran smoothly thanks to them.

You should likely book early for this venue - but know that it's worth it! These ladies know their stuff! I didn't have to stress for a second when it came to making the plans. For me, being the bride was a breeze because I knew I could trust their judgment, and yet they were quick to listen if I needed something as well. To this day, nearly 3 years later, I still hear how wonderful a time everyone had here.

Butler's Courtyard is the most beautiful venue for a wedding reception. We had the best time ever!

There are a few nice things about Butler's Courtyard I'd like to talk about...

1. You have the place for the ENTIRE day, so you don't have to share, you're not working on a time schedule of when to be gone by, and you don't have to get ready in a closet when the previous wedding is still going on!
2. There is a little cottage for the bride and family/friends to get ready in and you can show up as early as you want. My wedding started at 7:00 pm and we showed up at 10:00 am. We brought lunch, we had our hair and makeup done there, and we just had an all around relaxing day.
3. There is a "shop" for the guys to hang out and get ready, and again you can show up early. There's a big screen TV, a foosball table, a bar, and anything else they might need. Both Rose cottage (for the bride) and The Shop have beds in case anyone needs a nap!

Butler's is an excellent venue. All of our guests told us how gorgeous it was and how much they enjoyed everything.

Our wedding was absolutely breathtaking; the venue was beyond perfect. Butler's Courtyard makes the ultimate backdrop for any wedding, and we really couldn't be happier with having chosen it. Our wedding cake was perfect and so beautiful - delicious too! The DJ was great. The pitfalls? Our coordinator took it upon herself to make changes to our flowers - without asking for our opinion. This was great, as it took a load of stress off of me on our wedding day - but bad, as it turned out not at all how I wanted it. My mother knew what I wanted, but the coordinator didn't bother to ask her. We brought champagne for our wedding toast, and I was told that they had it "taken care of" - only to find out, mid toast, that there was apple juice in our glasses. The champagne was never given back to me and two members of my bridal party wound up in the hospital the next day - both because they are allergic to apple juice. Yikes! Also, we felt our reception was very rushed because everything was down (dances, toasts, bouquet, garter, cake), back to back, so a lot of our guests left, leaving only a very few family members for the bubble departure. Still, it was an amazing and magical day, and I'm so, so happy I chose Butler's Courtyard. I don't think my day would've been nearly as amazing anywhere else. (Oh - and thought I never got to taste it, I was told the food was amazing!)

I am a take charge type of person so the hardest thing for me was to let the wedding coordinator take over at certain times, which she did often during the wedding day. If you want to take charge of all aspects of your wedding, including the big day, do NOT book with them. The location is gorgeous, so would HIGHLY recommend because of that!

When you first get engaged, your first call should be to Butler's Courtyard. This facility is "Top Notch". From the 100 year old Bank building to the Rose Cottage for the ladies to the "Shop" for the guys, this place is awesome. The complete package is provided to the Bride and Groom which makes your event almost worry free. The ladies get the Rose Cottage for the day and the guys get "The Shop" for the day making the "day of” Jitters a thing of the past. Janice and Nancy (the owners) and their staff are extremely knowledgeable in weddings (they do up to 5 a week in some weeks). They will take your hand and lead you through the entire day and relieve all the stress that the family normally deals with the day of the wedding. With two professional DJ's to choose from, the guests will be well entertained during the reception. They only work with the best vendors to provide you a wedding day you will cherish a lifetime. I fully endorse Butler's Courtyard

This is one of my favorite venues. I love all the old bridal collections in their bridal house giving it a personal touch. If you are looking for a romantic place to get married, this is your venue. They are so accomodating to their brides. The bridal house is spacious & large enough for everyone to have their own space. This is a great place for bridal portrait sessions, as well. I love the set up. It has great natural lighting for makeup artist & a styling chair for hair stylist. It is a picture perfect venue.

Butler's Courtyard is by far the best wedding venue in the area!!! The staff is OUTSTANDING!!! They take amazing care of not only the bride and groom, but all the guests. They truly care about the guests. They treat you as if you are the only bride and groom in the world. They will work with you to make sure that your wedding is everything you had ever dreamed it would be, and then some!!! The atmosphere is the most romantic atmosphere. You can feel the love in the room! They will be the venue for all of my children's weddings. We have been to a lot of venues, but Butler's Courtyard is the best!

I just can't say enough about how good it is to perform a wedding at Butler's Courtyard! It's a fabulous location with such great people and always a wonderful experience! Weddings Performed loves Butler's Courtyard!

Nancy, Janice and the Butler's Courtyard team are truly the best in the business. I have been fortunate to work with them for many years. Every event they do is perfect, amazing and unique. For the brides looking for a facility that can make it fun to put a wedding together instead of a headache, put Butler's at the top of your list. The brides along with the vendors that they work with truly become part of the family.

Butler's Courtyard is one of League City's PREMIER event facilities. They produce the most beautiful weddings in the most elegant and historical settings. I am proud they are part of our team and have always supported us with their ideas, referrals and confidence. Any bride-to-be that is fortunate enough to join the Butler's Courtyard family would be one of the happiest brides on Earth! We love the professionalism and closeness they show us.

Hello from Demers! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your network. We look forward to working with you in the near future! www.demersbanquethall.com

Butlers does an amazing job. They hosted my brothers wedding and I was very impressed with the way they handle their weddings.

Wonderful group of staff to work with!

A beautiful location to photograph! The bride's house and reception hall are full of mirrors much to our artistic pleasure! Janice, Nancy, and their crew keep things organized and all flows smoothly. The bride's and groom's houses are beautifully decorated and spacious. We really enjoy shooting there! It is a haven of creativity for photographers. We don't count clicks, and it's a good thing, because it would be difficult to stop at Butler's Courtyard.

Magic. That's my best description of Butlers. You'll feel the romance the moment you step on the grounds. The second obvious difference Butlers offers is the "Nancy and Janice" team. These ladies make me wish I was a bride myself! Well, almost. They both go ALL OUT and treat each bride as if they were their own daughter. It's quite impressive to see everything fall in line like clockwork around that place to make the day perfect for the bridal party. As a videographer I work with many venues and I truly look forward to each and every chance to work with these down-home professionals at Butlers.
