    The Bowery House And Gardens - 1st floor

    The Bowery House And Gardens

    After our previous venue fell through we were on the search to find a new one close by. We had…read morepassed Bowery many times going to the dog park and were always curious! After meeting with Sarah we were hooked. The rooftop offers a beautiful city vibes area with lights, second floor is surrounded with windows to see the gardens area and the beautiful tree and the 1st floor gives you that industrial vibe. This venue was more than we could have ever imagined. Both the bride and groom suite was so well decorated and designed ; we had so much fun getting ready with our friends in there. All of the venues owners are absolutely amazing and answered all of my annoying questions lol. I am a florist/ wedding decorator myself and this place was so easy to add to and enhance the space. I would 1000% recommend booking Bowery for your wedding/ event. I need to have another event soon so I can come back Thank you guys X100 for everything Thea + Andy

    Wedddding Flow!!! This is a quaint event center with an awesome 3 levels…read more Parking: This is a stand alone building, so there is a separate parking lot on the premises. First Level: Ceremony Space!!! This is a lovely space. If you are sitting in the back, it may be a bit hard to see and hear. But I think if you bring in your own DJ, the sound may be your responsibility?? The Rustic look of the ceremony space is beautiful and did I mention that it is covered. It technically indoor/ outdoor. Half of the first floor is walled off and the other half allows for a nice breeze to flow. Not to mention that they have a large fan under the pavillion. Second Level: The reception! Parrrrrtay anyone!!! This level is accessible via the elevator or the stairs. This room is large enough to fit circle, square, and oblong shaped tables. It is also large enough to fit the dinner buffet in it as well and a bar area. The restrooms on this floor is limited, but no worries, if they are occupied, you can easily go to another floor! Third Level: Rooftop... Woooohoooo!!! This rooftop is beautiful and spacious. This is accessible via elevator and via stairs. The set up included cocktail tables and minimal seating. Also, there are a few outdoor/patio umbrellas, but when the sun is out, man this place is hot!!! So, just be ware. If you have a summer time event, please wait until the sun goes down or provide plenty of coverage. There is also a bar set up on this level. In essence, this is a nice venue for a wedding or a swanky party. It looks like they give their hosts flexibility with decor, food, and DJ. The best part of it all is that it is a stand alone and has its own parking.

    I planned a very small wedding reception for approximately 50 close family and friends. The space…read morewas good and the staff were nice upfront. After the event finished I opened up my cards from my card box. I knew I was missing one card given to me by my best friend because I put it in the box myself. I then asked my other guests if they had given us cards. I was so embarrassed to do that. It turns out I was missing 3 more. I asked the owner if I could review footage from their cameras and she became extremely defensive and mean. She said her staff would never steal. I never mentioned the staff stealing. Then she stated that they have cameras but they don't work. I became suspicious and asked my guests if they saw anything. A few guests said they saw the police officer looking through our gifts but weren't suspicious because he was an officer. We had to pay for this officer who was not zoned to Katy but apparently is the owners friend. After calling Katy police they told us to check their dumpsters because if they had done it we would probably find evidence. Sure enough, we found all our cards torn and tucked inside another trash bag inside their restroom bag. When we presented the cards to the owners they became furious and decided not to do the right thing. Instead they accused us of tearing up our own wedding cards. We simply wanted an apology and them acknowledge the fact that it was possible their staff might've done it. Although it's a nice small space, be careful with your gifts. I have a feeling that has happened before. I would've never asked my guests if they gave me a gift if it wouldn't have been because of that one card I knew I had put in the box myself. I can only imagine all the happy guests that don't notice gifts missing. I was not going to review but I want others to be vigilant. It was a horrible experience to go through on my wedding day.

A very long mirror with bar seating for last minute hair primping and lip gloss reapply. This is my second wedding guest visit to this venue for a medium sized 200+ guest wedding. As other Yelpers have mentioned form and function. This venue gets the form right. My experience is as a humble guest who attends several weddings a year. Not in expertise by opinion only: Where ASG improved from a previous wedding reception was the staff seemed more capable. Where the experience echoed or fell down comparatively to a previous wedding reception and tonight was operations or function. What do I mean? The chapel is beautiful, the reception hall is expansive and the experience as a guest at the reception was somewhat surprisingly sad and disappointing. What do I mean? Function: No guests guidance. Tonight for 200+ guests things were quirky & seemed off with service. Function: There was no discernible heat in the reception area. It remained that way for the duration. No management visible to kindly discreetly dialogue. I looked. Function: One server at a buffet table, serving 200+ guests. Function: Kitchen service was slow. Form: Food was tasty. Rolls were excellent. Form: Staff seemed more capable but still unenthusiastic or engaging. Still a plus. Context: The MC spaced tables adequately but the que did not move much waiting on replenishment and being a one woman show. I want to be positive and fair. This repeats previous observation. Summing it up: I would recommend this place with a cautionary note about the food service and lack luster experience of ghosted senior staff members. I'm no expert. My take is in experience only. I wish all well. Pretty venue. Make sure your expectations are realistic to what the venue can actually achieve. Best wishes to all.

    We got married at Ashton Gardens West in October. Our wedding day was beautiful and the venue…read moreitself is stunning--spacious, bright, with huge chapel windows, natural greenery, and a newly renovated reception space with gorgeous wood floors. Having both the ceremony and reception onsite was exactly what we were looking for. However, AGW was the most difficult vendor we worked with out of the 10 that we hired. They market themselves as an "all-inclusive" venue with in-house vendors (photographer, DJ, catering, cake, stationery, etc.), but their vendors are significantly overpriced compared to others we researched. They also only offer a few vendor showcase events per year, and since we live out of state, we couldn't attend. Without attending these events, you really can't evaluate the quality of their in-house vendors before committing. We purchased the Essentials Vendor package which comes with a planner, DJ, stationary credit, and other things that honestly didn't add value. Their slogan is "We Promise to Deliver an Exceptional Experience," but our experience fell far short. There was constant red tape and upcharges for nearly everything. Extra hour to get ready? Costs more. Extra hour at the end of the night? Even more (and the price difference between the two isn't justified). Outside catering? $50 per person. We had to negotiate almost every detail, including the outrageous catering buyout fee. Thankfully, we managed to negotiate a flat rate, but the original pricing was unreasonable. Our planner, Sheilah, functioned more like a coordinator and often pushed back on simple requests. During our early meetings, when we asked if she could help set up basic items on the day of our wedding, like our guest book or table numbers, the answer was simply "no", which is odd because it's her job to help with these things. She also pushed back on seating 10 guests per table even though we explained that other venues with identical table dimensions do this regularly. It often felt like she was policing us on behalf of the venue instead of helping us customize our day. Despite being told that she had experience with cultural weddings, she missed key elements that were part of Vietnamese culture during the rehearsal. The week of the wedding, I had emailed a detailed timeline to all my vendors. For some reason, she did not copy the same notes from my timeline onto hers. The night before the wedding, I had to ask her to print my timeline to ensure that we were aligned. Our photographer did a better job at coordinating the day of our wedding than our actual coordinator. The DJ experience was disappointing. My husband and I had a 30 minute meeting with DJ Daven and another gentleman months before our wedding. I uploaded some music to Vibo app ahead of time, explaining the vibe we wanted. I also emphasized repeatedly--including in a 30-minute call with the venue manager, Gilbert --that we needed working microphones for BOTH ceremony and reception so that 270 guests could hear our vows. Despite discussing this with multiple staff members, we had no microphone at the ceremony. Most guests couldn't hear anything, which I felt was the most important and meaningful part of the wedding. On top of that, during open dance, DJ Daven played some songs that didn't match our preferred vibe, and I had to walk over to the DJ and request for more crunk music. The bar package also felt misleading. It included a "signature drink," but AGW only allows ONE, not one for a "his" and "hers" which is what we typically see at weddings. We very limited with our drink options. This made the perk feel more like a restriction than a value-add. Overall, we had an amazing wedding because of the people we love and the effort we personally put into planning. The venue itself is gorgeous, but working with AGW as a vendor was a constant headache. Their in-house vendors are expensive, inflexible, and often lack attention to detail. Their pricing model feels designed to nickel-and-dime couples for anything outside their strict template. You can have a beautiful wedding here, but expect to put in a lot of extra work and negotiation if you want a truly personalized experience.
