I was married here 2 years ago, and my brother in law just got married here this month. It was such a wonderful experience to relive the magic of The Pattison House as a wedding guest (and also as a Love is Blind viewer hehe)! They even made a new chapel for indoor weddings to be held which was stunning and allowed our family to create a totally separate feeling between our two weddings, as we held ours in their beautiful outdoor space under the big tree (ugh I'm crying just thinking about it). This space is a no brainer because it is owned and run by a lovely family, in a convenient location near Houston, has a really freaking cute and aesthetic bridal house (where the bridal party will spend the majority of the day- magical, stunning, cannot be beat), and the value is un-freaking-real. The rehearsal dinner can be held on site at the Pattison Place right next door. So much separates this venue from other venues that I shopped (I did a lot of perusing and pricing and info requests and compiled a whole binder).
Working with Trena and your day-of coordinator eliminates so much decision fatigue since they have contracts with excellent vendors that know the space intimately which ensures things go off without a hitch from catering, flowers, DJ, cake, Photo Booth, etc. so you just get to narrow down your options of which kinds of food and menu items you want, floral design, song choices/style, cake design- in other words all the FUN parts of making these decisions and none of the contract headache.
This venue is BYOB and they provide friendly bartenders and friendly security- this saves you SO MUCH MONEY compared to other venues. We had our favorite bar batch our favorite cocktails for our signature drinks and this was also what my in-laws did as well with their favorite local restaurant! Not having an alcohol markup like all other venues have is basically free money plus you get to choose your brands or cocktail options to be as personalized as you'd like!
You also have access to the property Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so you can pick things up the next day (including vehicles if a guest can't drive home because they partied too hard) and you can set some stuff up on Friday when you come for the rehearsal instead of having to worry about bringing everything you need the day of the wedding. This was when I set up and gave out my bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts -it was so cute and looked great when everyone got there!
I really didn't provide any decorations because Trena is an organized hoarder with impeccable taste (said with love and only love) - whether your style is more traditional and glam like my sister in laws or more bohemian like my own, farmhouse, modern, classic or more- you can find decor to personalize the space to your own style. I did not buy ANYTHING for my wedding day beyond what we were wearing, a ring box for photos, gifts for our friends, and we provided our seating chart for them to display. But you can bring decor if you'd like to if you have items you want displayed! The choice of decorations and place settings is another way you save so much money with this venue!!!
The land is stunning and for being surrounded by so much nature they really do keep things so pristine and welcoming without feeling sterile or too modern, every part of the venue has cohesive character and charm. Your guests will love enjoying the romantic evening around the grounds.
A friend from high school got married here before me -he highly recommended the venue and said it was the best decision they made in regards to their wedding and I agree- that's why my brother and sister in law chose it too!!
Thank you Trena, Danny, and Avery for all the work you put in for our special day and really the entire special weekend, and for welcoming me back like old friends this month- I hope to get invited to another wedding here soon especially since I recommend it to every bride I know! read more
