The venue shapes everything that follows: your guest count, your design, your timeline and even your photos. As a luxury wedding planner in Houston, Épris Events has designed weddings and events at some of the most beautiful venues in Texas and beyond. Here are a few we love, and what makes each one special.

Chateau Nouvelle – French Romance in Houston

A white French-inspired chateau with a fountain courtyard and manicured grounds. It suits couples who want a fairytale feel and dramatic portraits, and its interiors take bold design beautifully, from deep burgundy editorials to grand celebrations with towering florals.

The Grand Galvez – Historic Glamour in Galveston

Chandeliers, palm-lined grounds and a ballroom with real history. The Grand Galvez is ideal for coastal elegance and classic black-tie palettes, as in Mitra & Aliakbar’s black, white and red wedding.

McGovern Centennial Gardens – A Garden Ceremony in the City

Lush gardens in the heart of Houston, perfect for an outdoor ceremony framed by florals. Pair it with a nearby reception venue for a two-location day, as Kofi & Alanna did.

Sandlewood Manor – Southern Estate Charm

Refined interiors that work beautifully for luncheons, showers, tea parties and fundraisers, like our blue and white tea party.

How to Choose the Right Luxury Venue

  • Start with your guest count, then confirm the room works for both ceremony and reception, including a rain plan.
  • Ask about vendor policies. Some venues require in-house catering or approved vendor lists.
  • Visit at the time of day you will marry. Light changes everything.
  • Think about guest experience: parking, hotels nearby, accessibility and flow between spaces.
  • Bring your planner to the walkthrough. We spot logistics issues that are easy to miss.
