Laura was extremely accommodating in helping me get everything lined up. The reception hall is very spacious with room for dancing and was beautifully decorated and although we did not utilize it, there is also a large outdoor deck for dancing as well. When I first saw the inside of the chapel, I just couldn't contain my emotions...it is absolutely lovely! And the fact that the location was easy for my guests to find and was only 20 minutes away from our house was a huge bonus too! Thanks to Laura and her staff, both the ceremony and reception went perfectly and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a beautiful wedding with a serene, country setting.

They offer early voting for the civic minded. The place is picked up, and clean, with a playground for the lil' ones to go crazy on. The parking lot could use some improvement. When things get packed, there's nowhere else to park. They seem to be doing some sort of improvements on the parking facilities, however. So stay tuned. They offer lots of places to stretch out in the sun, or under a giant oak tree. However, I think it's a little against SA's values to prohibit pinatas on the playground!

Rosemary was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted. Jen, our wedding coordinator, was phenomenal! She had an amazing personality and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. She also offered fantastic ideas that helped bring our vision to life. Our friends and family had an amazing time, and everyone had nothing but positive things to say. We chose to do everything in-house, and it was so easy to share my ideas and preferences with the team and watch them come to life -- from the décor to the food, the bar & the cake! If you're debating, stop and book here! We have zero regrets. 10000000/10, highly recommend! Thank you to all the staff who made our day so special! Rosemary, Jen, Padro & Laz! You guys are amazing. I look forward to the next event with you guys!

Warning to Anyone Considering Grand Monarch, DJ Johnny, or Coordinator Andrea…read more As a professional choreographer with years of experience at weddings, Quinceañeras, Sweet 16s, and large-scale productions, I have never experienced the level of unprofessionalism, aggression, and incompetence I witnessed at Grand Monarch with DJ Johnny and event coordinator Andrea. My role was clear: prepare a court of teens, many who had never danced before, and guide them through months of practice leading up to the event. The family specifically hired me for day-of support, which is standard practice. After the family dances, the teens changed outfits. We then went outside for a quick rehearsal and huddle (5 minutes) absolutely necessary because the ballroom was shockingly small, poorly designed, and blocked by pillars. The kids needed formation adjustments before going in front of hundreds of guests. Instead of letting this essential step happen, Johnny and Andrea stormed over, yelling at me and the teens. Not a polite reminder, full-on aggressive shouting, interrupting instruction, and even trying to silence me in front of the kids. The result? The teens were discouraged, anxious, and rattled. Parents were disgusted, watching their kids be yelled at during what should have been a proud, exciting moment. The energy went from positive to toxic in seconds. To make matters worse: 1. DJ Johnny played the music before the kids were even set up. A rookie mistake he has apparently made at other events too. 2. Andrea never provided a real timeline. She contacted me only the day before and handed me a "timeline" the day of. Zero coordination. 3. No apology was ever given, not to me, not to the teens, not to the parents. Professionals handle pressure differently. Here's a couple tips from a real professional to you both: 1. You address the choreographer directly and privately, not scream in front of kids. 2. You consult the client, the person who paid us both. 3. You give a respectful heads-up. You don't scream at children mid-rehearsal. They can try to say, "We were keeping schedule." False. Dozens of professional ways exist to do that without aggression. "We had no choice." Wrong. They could have waited 60 seconds, gone to the client, or spoken to me calmly. They cause more of a distraction and a more delayed event because this altercation. "The choreographer delayed the event." False. A quick run-through is standard and was required due to the venue's design and Andrea's late timeline. "Communication was clear." False. Nothing was provided until the last second and DJ provided no expectations. Grand Monarch should be ashamed to be represented by such toxic, careless staff. Johnny's Neanderthal behavior was aggressive and reckless, especially from some who fancies himself as a JW. Andrea was complicit. For families spending thousands on milestone events: don't risk your once-in-a-lifetime celebration with vendors who yell at kids, screw up music cues, and create chaos instead of memories. This was not just poor service, this was sabotage of an important family moment. Shout out to the kids who pulled it together at the very ends despite feeling anger and frustration for how they were treated.

The library also has a great park surrounding it, which is perfect for the Bushnell! Across the other street, Shook, is Trinity University.

However, the average tenant doesn't seem to be Trinity students, it seems to maintain an exclusive atmosphere. The reinforced concrete structure is clad with stucco and cast stone details of Spanish Colonial Revival. The building has a roof balcony, which takes up the entire roof.

The view of downtown and hill country is amazing--especially at sunset. My husband and I got married here and it was the best place in town to tie the knot. It would be good for any special dinner or special occasion though. They have a large space on the floor below the terrace that you could do a dinner inside, and the terrace is an amazing space for dancing and/or the ceremony. The managers couldn't be more helpful and fantastic which is helpful when you don't need any more stress. They do tours of the space at sunset regularly (call for schedule), and it really gives you a great idea of how magical and breathtaking your night can be.
