Reviews
From the beginning of our wedding journey until the very end the entire Woodlands staff was top notch.
From the beginning of our wedding journey until the very end the entire Woodlands staff was top notch. Not only were they one of the more affordable options for our size wedding but the ideal location to get a great mix of scenery and elegance. Gabrielle the event manager was very responsive to our million of questions and worked with us to ensure our vision for the event was brought to life. We had a very private ceremony and about 60 guests at our reception. Which allowed for ample of seating space and a large enough dance area to act a fool. We would absolutely recommend this venue and once again want to say thank you to the entire staff that assisted. You truly made it an unforgettable experience.

The Woodlands at Algonkian was the perfect wedding venue for us!
The Woodlands at Algonkian was the perfect wedding venue for us and we cannot recommend it highly enough. It was the ideal balance of aesthetics and practicality. It truly is a beautiful space, but welcoming rather than pretentious. The outdoor ceremony space is phenomenal (they just re-did their pergola) and the indoor reception space likewise looked fantastic (the high ceilings/tan stone was gorgeous even before we added the linens/flowers/etc. and my jaw dropped when we saw the final finished space, it was so lovely). The onsite bridal suite was spacious and well-designed (and while there isn’t an officially designated groomsmen room, there was a convenient area onsite where the gentlemen could finish getting ready). One thing to note is that with the Woodlands you are required to use their in-house catering service Great Blue Heron, but this was just fine with us, as their food/bar selections were of good quality (particularly the bar package) and having both the venue and catering under one roof made things so much easier to navigate. They also do allow pass-through services (we did late night Vietnamese banh mi and it was a hit!).

We got married at The Woodlands and we loved it!
We got married at The Woodlands and we loved it, since the beginning of researching places we were treated really well, explained everything in detail. The team went above and beyond at our wedding to make sure everything went perfectly. Catering was also really good, with a delicious variety of foods to pick from. Staff was always professional and we totally appreciate you guys making our special day go smoothly.
