Allison with Magnolia Bells was AMAZING as wedding coordinator! The entire team worked seamlessly and created my vision for a moody, candlelit ceremony and an amazing reception. We have received so many compliments of what a stunning venue Magnolia Bells is!
The venue is nestled in the woods, just outside of Tomball, and just 30 minutes from The Woodlands Waterway. There is a beautiful limestone chapel with a wall of candles that were all lit at our 6 pm ceremony. The acústica in this chapel were PERFECT for the River Oaks string quartet who were playing as guests arrived and for our procession.
The chapel is complete with three separate rooms for wedding parties to await the ceremony start. There is a huge antique bell atop the chapel that is only rang when the bride and groom kiss- made we cry after ceremony just hearing its sound!
The reception barn is large with a separate section for caterers to set up buffet allowing more room for tables, an enclosed bar area, restrooms at both ends of the hall and candles and greenery were everywhere which makes for a most beautiful romantic space!
On the morning of the big day the groomsmen have their own large two story cottage for hanging out and getting ready complete with pool table, complete kitchen, and locker room area to change.
The bridal cottage is just the right size for all the girls to get ready! Small kitchen, really large bath area and mirrors everywhere. There is a vanity area that seats 5 with mirrors and Hollywood lighting that is perfect for the MUA and hairstylists to prep everyone.
We reserved the house overlooking a pond that accommodates 10 that is located on the property. The venue rents this for $500 a night for the wedding party/family to stay after the reception.
This venue is known with all of the vendors we worked with as being their favorite place to work and set up due to the EXTREMELY organized team in place and just how perfectly everything was designed with the vendors in mind.
Our coordinator, Alison, was one of the calmest people I think I have ever met the day of the wedding with so much taking place to coordinate that day! I had every confidence that things were going to be just as we planned and it was. She handled the phone calls to vendors the time leading up to the wedding to make sure the timeline was perfect, she made sure we had our few items completed and we were staying on task. We had not only one design meeting but three design and prep meetings with her and the team during the time leading up to the actual event!
All of our family were so pleased with how beautifully everything was done and that is no easy task, lol!
Magnolia Bells enough brought the wedding of our dreams to life and it was an unforgettable night surrounded by those we love. I can not recommend them enough! read more
