Amazing!! STOP LOOKING AND BOOK HERE!
My husband and I got married on January 13th of 2017, and it was everything we had hoped for and more! The owners are a husband and wife team that really do care about making your big day special. We moved from Colorado to Texas in August of 2016, and we had booked the venue in June, before we even saw it in person. I was nervous about booking a venue without touring it, but I am so glad we made the choice that we did! Maria, one of the owners, stays in contact with you throughout the planning process, and was always quick to respond to my sometimes too late at night texts! Her husband is the 'behind the scenes' guy, making sure the venue is set up the way you want it. He was also the bartender the night of the wedding, and he was so quick that a line never formed. The two of them are the most pleasant people I could have asked to plan our wedding with! The bakery that Centurion Palace uses makes the most delicious cakes, and going for the tasting was such a pleasurable experience. Jula, the baker, even helped me design a surprise grooms cake. All of the potential catering options for dinner were absolutely amazing, and we had a hard time deciding on which one to choose. We went with the Italian, and a month later, I am still having guests tell me it was the most delicious wedding food they've had! Their DJ, Pat, who is also the one you get into contact with about booking the venue, is very kind and helpful. He did a wonderful job of keeping the party going and has a great voice for announcing the members of the wedding party, the bouquet toss, etc. We bought the photography and videography package through him, and we are extremely pleased with the quality of media that we got. We also bought drone footage of our ceremony. Shelley is the wedding coordinator, and she also puts the finishing touches on the chair sashes, napkins, and other decor. She was simply amazing, she bounced between the guys and the bridal suite when we were getting ready to make sure we were all on schedule. She even did a great job of finding the groom when he had wandered out front before the ceremony to talk with family, and didn't falsely alarm me that "the groom was missing" until AFTER he was found! Haha! After the ceremony, she bustled my dress train when my maid of honor couldn't figure it out, and she walked us through each and every step of the reception, from the cake cutting to the bouquet toss. The package that CP provides takes care of practically everything, but your own clothing, hair/makeup, and florals. When I asked for a floral recommendation, Maria referred me to Heavens Rain florals, and Camilla was very pleasant to work with and design our bouquets. Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous. The venue itself is jaw dropping, with the ceremony site outside in a Tuscan garden with water fountains and a beautiful arch. They installed tall lanterns that lined the aisle the week before our wedding, and it was even more beautiful than I had imagined. Our guests told us all night long how amazing the venue was! We also got the photo booth that they offer, and turned it into our guest book. They provide props for your guests to pose with, and a photo booth attendant.
I simply cannot stop raving about Centurion Palace. Their service, care, and all around attention that you receive is incredible. I highly recommend this venue to anyone that wants to plan an amazing event without stressing over every little detail, because they've got you! Our wedding was the most relaxing, perfect, magical event we could have dreamt of.
Thank you Maria and crew!! read more
