(1 Star) I rarely…read moreleave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience in hopes that it helps future clients. My husband and I chose Heights Villa for our 40th Wedding Vow Renewal on July 12, 2026. We began planning in February and met with the venue several times. During every meeting, we discussed our vision, requested pricing for décor, and watched detailed notes being taken. Unfortunately, it became clear that little of what we discussed was actually documented or executed. One of our biggest frustrations was the lack of transparency. We repeatedly asked for pricing throughout the planning process, yet on the day of our event we were shown an "upgraded" room and told that certain décor would require additional charges. Those conversations should have happened months before the event--not hours before our guests arrived. The décor did not reflect the vision we spent months planning. We requested red flowers, but received fuchsia accents that were never corrected despite assurances they would be. Our sweetheart table looked incomplete, one of the two decorative trees we requested was missing, and we received only a few easels for family photos after repeatedly asking for them. The day-of execution was equally disappointing. We were told there would be a large team available to prepare the venue and complete a 30-minute room flip. Instead, we only saw two men cleaning for several hours. I even watched décor being assembled just hours before the ceremony began. The venue itself was not ready for guests. There was a strong urine odor throughout the building, including the restrooms, which also lacked paper towels for much of the event. The bridal and groom suites were not cleaned properly, the bar area was cluttered with what appeared to be leftovers from a previous event, and spills throughout the venue often went unattended. Perhaps the most disappointing issue was the ceremony space. We were never told the air conditioning was not working properly. Our guests were visibly uncomfortable and had to fan themselves throughout the ceremony. We also had to request additional chairs despite the venue knowing for months that we expected approximately 200 guests. We even reported a large puddle caused by the air conditioning unit, but it was never addressed. Communication also declined significantly after our final payment was made. Calls and text messages often went unanswered, and there was very little urgency when we needed assistance on the day of the event. We were also informed at the last minute that our guests could not park in the parking lot until 30 minutes before the event, creating unnecessary confusion. While we are incredibly grateful to have celebrated 40 years of marriage surrounded by family and friends, we are deeply disappointed by the planning, communication, professionalism, and execution provided by Heights Villa. This was a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that deserved much better. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes meaningful improvements so future couples and families do not experience the same disappointments we did.

I got married on 11/26/25 and would strongly encourage future brides DO NOT BOOK. While the pricing…read moreseems budget-friendly for what's included, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Important things to know: * The lowest caterer on their approved list is $33 per person with all the fees (no appetizers included), and in my opinion Lasagna House is overpriced for the quality * They say parking across the street must be purchased -- YOU DO NOT * You may only arrive 5 hours prior, and everyone must arrive within the first hour, calling each time within that hour, or the gate will not be opened (my family arriving early to decorate had to park across the street) * A stand-up wooden cross requires expensive event insurance or renting theirs for $250 (ceremony side only) * Real rose petals must be picked up IMMEDIATELY after the ceremony * Apparently AC is only turned on when requested and takes time to cool * Outside catering fee is $1,250 with many restrictions making it difficult for affordable catering * Mixed drinks are limited to 3 ingredients unless pre-batched * Only the bride or groom may access suites after the ceremony, and staff must open the door every time * You do not choose when the included 1-hour Photo Booth runs * The $250 cloud dance is not worth it -- very minimal fog that stays near the stage * Full payment is due 30 days prior, plus a $500 security deposit check THE MAIN REASONS for my dissatisfaction: * The Photo Booth I paid for was NEVER PROVIDED * We were never given a scheduled time for it, either at the final meeting or on the wedding day * They did not have the ceremony space prepped according to my ceremony plans the night before the wedding at the rehearsal * They had that night, morning and afternoon to prepare the venue spaces ahead of time, were supposed to have it ready 3hrs prior to my ceremony time to allow us to decorate but were not finished in time and ultimately causing my ceremony time to be delayed * I have called multiple times and emailed Kelli and the new owner Brody with no response * It has been almost 3 weeks since my wedding with no callback or communication * The venue confirmed Today they received my emails and were aware of the situation but that they will yet again ask the new owner Brody to call me back I waited to post this review to allow time for private resolution, but since there has been no communication or accountability, I feel obligated to warn future brides: DO NOT USE THIS VENUE. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will be pursuing legal action to recover payment for services not rendered and any legal fees or costs incurred should this matter require legal action.

First time at Magnolia Ballroom and I was only here for a World Cup watch party (Dutch fans…read morementioned this spot after the walk to the stadium).. It's more of an event space with a lot of history rather than a typical bar, but they transformed it for the Netherlands/Sweden watch party and did a great job... International flags hanging everywhere, a big screen, and small tables set up that kept things intimate. We watched the game with a mix of fellow Netherlands and Curaçaoan fans, which I know can be a complicated relationship, but we were all there in orange so it was all love. One thing I really appreciated was they let you bring in outside food.. they made a special menu for drinks, and the cocktails were pretty decent too. (I ordered a margarita).. Service was friendly, and honestly one waiter was all they needed. Glad I got to check this place out. The natural sunlight coming through, the old wood floors and staircases.. you can really feel the history in there. Vintage vibes all around... Cool spot.

The setting is very 'Texas'. As in, flags everywhere. The entry is a bit musky but once you get…read moreupstairs the smell clears right up. Table settings, wood floors, and natural light inside the (small) event space make for a nice enough atmosphere. Service: considering that I had gone to the trouble of setting up an appointment and they completely ignored me - even after I knocked on the office door, watched them look at me, and continue about their business - I'm gonna go with "unfriendly" Location: in the heart of downtown, which could be sketchy later in the night. Food: They do allow outside catering after all (hooray!) and beverages Overall: meh. A definite no.

This is a beautiful venue perfect for small outdoor weddings! I attended a wedding here last night…read moreand it was a beautiful event! However as a guest, there are a couple things I want to point out... First, the ceremony setup. The bride and groom were positioned a couple steps DOWN from the majority of the rows of chairs, meaning if you were in row 4 or beyond, you couldn't see anything. I was in the second to last row and could hardly see anything. My friends in the row behind me (the last row) couldn't see anything. It was just an awkward setup for the guests. The biggest downfall of this place was their lack of restrooms. They have TWO for the entire venue... while I, myself, don't drink alcohol anymore, I'm fully aware of how it creates a constant need for use of the restroom. Many of the guests were enjoying their beers and glasses of wine, so this created long lines at the restrooms. Lastly, the gravel in the front half of the venue was a nightmare for all of us ladies in heels. My strapping stilettos were constantly getting small pebbles up under my toes and it was super uncomfortable. The dance floor and seated area for dinner, however, had turf, which was MUCH more pleasant to walk on. I wish they had this all over the venue grounds instead. Overall, the setup was nice as they had one area for the ceremony, another for cocktail hour, another for dinner/dancing and a small indoor area where the Photo Booth was set up. Additionally, the bridal suite (which I didn't actually see for myself) was upstairs, which gave the bride a birds eye view of the guests as they arrived. Pretty cool! I think a few small adjustments would make this place a five star experience for everyone involved!

Be sure to be careful walking in as the floor is made of loose gravel. Although the venue is beautiful, the summer heat can be brutal.

There's plenty of parking outside and inside is set up where you can have tables and chairs in one area and there's an area where they serve food out of.
