So here's the thing, I'm really torn on how to rate this place. This is my conundrum: I'm all about…read moresupporting local historical landmarks (especially when I know they're run on peanuts). I see immense value in the upkeep of these places and I know they bring value to the community. The problem with this place is it just kind of sucked as a "museum". There was really no rhyme or reason to the "artifacts" it was a motley crew of random odds and ends that locals had donated. Even the woman working (although I bet she just volunteered), didn't have a lot of info or insight on the displays. There were some random tea pots, a display with some NASA posters, an old Chinese robe, and some ceramic buildings. According to the plaque outside this spot had been the location for a pretty cool archeological find but I didn't see that very prominently displayed inside. The high point was probably just walking around this old church which had been built in 1901 (I'm pretty sure on the date but could be off). It was really gorgeous for being so tiny. There's a small chapel to the left as you walk in and the right is where the displays are, in what probably served as a hall. The building can be rented out for events. Price of admission is free and donations are accepted. If you're even mildly interested in history and old buildings and you happen to be in the area I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a few minutes (trust me, a few minutes is all you'll need). Just keep your expectations semi-low and you might be pleasantly surprised.

A "sorta' co-worker got married here…read more It truly is a large home with a marina for a back yard. It really isn't conducive to groups larger than 40 or 50, but the bride some how got some round tables inside a dining area and a communal living space that had no light. It truly seems to be adhering to its original design. The marina set up is a bit tricky, especially when the bride is 2 hours late and the guests are left to observe boat owners playing, cleaning, and drinking beer and swapping lies. Thank goodness my bar is always in my purse... Note: travel to the hotel where the lady ran over her cheating husband, and there's a street that runs along the side of the property; that street takes you right to the "mansion."

I had my wedding here 5/4/13…read more I knew when planning my wedding that a priority for me would be to find a place that included multiple aspects of the event in one. I was busy beginning a new job and my fiance traveled weeks at a time for work, so I wanted to make the planning process as easy as possible. My mother-in-law happened to see Kemah Gardens advertised in a local magazine, but didn't know much about it. We decided to drive by one Sunday afternoon just to see where it was located. On the way there, I began reading reviews about the property and Ciria, the owner. The reviews could not have been better, and I was anxious to see the place. We didn't have an appointment, but thought we would just drive by to check it out, and then try to schedule a time to see it later in the week. As soon as we arrived, Ciria greeted us and invited us to look around. The grounds are beautiful - it is a B&B property on several acres, with deck/arch for ceremonies overlooking a pond. There is a large covered pavillion for reception areas, and everything is nicely kept and landscaped. After looking around, we asked for some information on what services she offered. Ciria can pretty much tailor your package to what you are looking for. We found that the All Inclusive package worked great for us. It included ceremony chairs, arch decor, use of the house for both bridal party and groomsmen to get ready, reception tables/chairs/basic linens, caterer from her list, wedding cake allowance, bartenders, security, clean-up crew, valet, use of champagne glasses/cake cutter, DJ, use of the property for bridal portraits, some day-of coordinating services and probably even more things I've forgotten. This could not have been more perfect for what I was looking for! Everything was in one place. Ciria is very experienced with weddings, and her professionalism is incredible. She has handled all sorts of weather crises, sick bridesmaids, you name it. I felt confident that Ciria would be able to handle anything! We kept in touch many times throughout our engagement, by meeting in person for the payment schedule, to phone calls and emails. By the time our event came around, Ciria was almost like a member of the family. On the day before my wedding, my dad and aunt went by the propery unannounced to see where it was (I had no idea they were doing this - she actually had a wedding going on that day, and I would have told them not to bother her!). Ciria took the time to show them around and explain how she got into the business. I was shocked! She is never too busy for her clients and she will give you all of the attention you need. The wedding was beautiful - timed perfectly with the sunset thanks to Ciria's planning. Everything looked perfect - her staff helped set-up some of the major pieces and my family was able to come early to fill in the rest. She helped keep us on task and I had so many people tell me what a beautiful wedding it was thanks to her help! I stoppped by a few weeks after we returned from our honeymoon to show her pictures and talk about the wedding. She still gave me the same attention as if I was a bride just beginning to plan. You will not be disappointed with Kemah Gardens and Ciria. No matter the size of the event or your budget, Ciria will be able to help you design the wedding of your dreams. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! One last thing - her staff is top notch. She uses many different vendors to help with the cake, DJ services, bartending, valet and set-up/clean-up staff. My sister told me after the wedding that some of the money from our dollar dance had fallen out of the basket as she was packing it up. A high school student that was helping to clean up noticed a $100 bill had fallen on the floor and handed it to my sister. We were shocked at his honesty and integrity. It just showed what a great business Ciria is running.

Kemah Gardens is a dream venue for wedding filmmakers!…read more As a wedding videographer, I can't say enough good things about this place. The entire property is a cinematic goldmine -- from the serene pond and romantic bridge to the lush gardens and beautiful indoor reception space. Every angle at Kemah Gardens tells a love story on its own. The staff is beyond accommodating and genuinely cares about making each wedding smooth and stress-free, not just for the couple but for every vendor involved. Their team works hand-in-hand with us to make sure we capture every special moment perfectly -- and that kind of support makes all the difference. If you're a couple searching for a hidden gem near Houston, or a vendor looking for a venue that values collaboration and creativity, Kemah Gardens is the perfect place. Can't wait to film more love stories here!

You can also do your wedding here so people don't have to drive around. The dance floor is built in and I didn't like its placement but I am sure many people are not that picky about that kind of thing as I am. They have a huge area for your catering people to get set up. When I visited they were turning their office into a bridal suite which I am sure is really pretty now. There is also a separate room where you could set up your buffet or use as a kids room or a bar room which is great! I had this great idea that instead of leaving in a limo after the reception you could leave in a boat taxi! And Danielle said that it could be arranged. There is now a restaurant downstairs that has bands on Saturdays so you may want to go visit on a Saturday evening to see how loud it is. That could also eat up a lot of the parking that is there. A great thing is you get the whole place for the whole day, no sharing! Makes everything run a lot smoother. They have a list of preferred vendors if you want some help but I believe you can bring in anyone for your catering and DJ/Band. This was not the place for me but would be a great place to have a wedding and/or reception! Definitely taking a look at if you want to get married in the Clear Lake Area with a water view.

We would definitely consider hosting another event there and would recommend it to others. The facility is well set up and can handle its advertised duties, but the real story is the service provided by the staff. The staff and DJ did a great job of accommodating our party. We brought in outside catering, selected our own music, and spent a long time transforming the facility with a different look and feel. In short, we were particular, and the staff worked very well with us and all the parties involved to make it a success. My daughter and I selected music and I built a slideshow. Chris, the DJ (and either the husband of the owner or co-owner, I didn't ask), did a great job of working the music together to make a great program. We selected some music that wasn't traditional for a teeny-boppy party, and he sequenced it beautifully to engage the entire audience - even the grandparents were dancing! We also changed the program slightly during the event and again he kept up very well. If you are bringing in your own music and slideshow, make sure you follow Chris's directions so that you get the results you are looking for. I brought a few different file types of the slideshow in case there were difficulties playing one on their computer, but there weren't . The food and beverage accommodations are good, although we did not prepare food there, nor did we serve alcoholic beverages. We had dining catered by Gina's restaurant of Clear Lake, and they worked well with the Enchanted Gardens staff. We had a few family members arrive after the dinner was cleared, but the staff reheated and served them food. The service we had included sodas, tea, and water. For an additional fee, they served coffee. About the only drawback is that the facility is a little hard to find. We had a few guests that had difficulty finding the place. There are several factors for this; first is its actual location. It is situated in a strip shopping center that doesn't look like it would accommodate an event facility. Secondly, there is not a sign by the road, so finding the exact entrance in the dark was a little challenging. Third, it appears as though some search engines (including google/yelp) appear to show this near FM 517 even though it is near 146 (some 30 minutes the other direction). We learned of this from some very persistent guests. I hope to submit a request to fix this, but I would highly recommend that you include a map to the facility or directions with your invitation.
