We absolutely loved the venue the first time we saw it, and the second time. Tara and Cristina were an amazing help and answered every single question that I had...and I had lots! It was everything we wanted and more. Elegant and cozy is what we wanted and what we got! Someone said that it was like waliking into a story you heard as a child! All of our friends and family were pleasantly suprised to see what an amazing fairy tale it became! We absolutely loved it! Thanks for helping us make this the perfect wedding night and one that everyone can...

Our wedding was here on November 18th 2011 and I LOVED it. The ladies that work there were so nice everytime I would call with questions and I love how they help you for the ceremony. One of the reasons I loved this place is because I got so much space and with that I also got to bring in ALL of my own vendors and I planned and put together every single detail myself and I saved soooooo much money! I think my wedding looked like it cost a lot but in reality it didnt! SO glad I could have my dream wedding here! :)

The Gallery is simply an amazing package of uncontrived beauty, sophisticated simplicity, and service. And our experience with them was simply effortless. We got the best of the best in all forms for our wedding, we are convinced. Although the venue was booking up very quickly for the timeframe we wanted, even over one year in advance, I NEVER felt like "another number" or felt neglected or ignored. The Gallery was absolutely perfect for the setting we were looking for: intimate, classy, was not going to need a lot of extra decor at all, and beautiful grounds surrounding it for photo ops. It simply "fit" us. And I cannot explain how helpful Tara and Christina were in helping me make decisions about things during the process, from advice on vendors to placement of props/tables/etc. And their vendor recommendations were excellent! I don't think there was ever an email sent to them when I did not receive a reply within a couple of hours max. How many brides get that kind of attention and service from their venue?! Not many, and I know because I have heard the horror stories!
For what they do and include in the package, and the service and attention they give their couples, it is EXCELLENTLY priced I must say! It is almost like you get wedding coordinators included as well.
We have had so many compliments from our guests on how absolutely gorgeous the venue was. And the best things for me was that, as I said above, it required basically no added decor! I didn't use a florist at all (just bought 3 dozen long stemmed roses, some for my bouqte and some to line the aisle with); The Gallery is perfect with a few lanterns and candles! I have not gotten the professional pics yet, but from the pics friends and family have shown me, the minimal decor we used compliments the venue and the venue color scheme beautifully. And I certainly thought that in person! I could not have asked for more!

If you are looking for a venue where you have complete freedom to create the wedding of your dreams - this is the venue for you!
We had the best year of planning. The Gallery was so helpful, always quick to respond, kept up with updates - it was so easy!
I received so many compliments on the venue. Nothing feels better than hearing from guests how gorgeous the venue was, how is was so romantic, the most beautiful wedding they had been to....it goes on and on. I will say we chose the Gallery for that reason. The venue itself is gorgeous. We didn't want to have to add and decorate to make a place look good - we wanted a place that did most of that on its own. We were blessed with an amazing florist so with that and simple elegance of the gallery our wedding was magical!
The gallery gave us the most special and perfect night of our lives.
I can't thank or recommend them...

The Gallery could not have been abetter venue for my wedding! The staff is incredibly helpful and kind - I was constantly emailing them questions and they always answered promptly with very detailed responses.
The venue itself is gorgeous. It needs little decoration because it already has its own unique style. There are many areas all over it that make for wonderful pictures.
I really could not have asked for a better experience with a venue!

The Gallery is BEAUTIFUL!!!! It, in my opinion, is the most authentically beautiful place in Houston with the best price. I did get jacked for having my wedding on a holiday weekend, it was 1k more, I thought that was lame (we didn't necessarily want that weekend but they we're booked for almost a year out). But, it really was worth it. I want to get invited to a wedding there so I can enjoy it more (It's chaos on your own day).
It was sucky they didn't provide anything (coordinating, vendors, etc.) and we had to do everything but I had a friend coordinate the day of for me and that put me at ease. DO NOT go with this place unless you have a coordinator!!! Even if it's just a friend who is helping you. You don't want your family or wedding party, or even you, worrying about where the linens go at the end of the night. Let someone else do it, otherwise it will ruin your time.
BEAUTIFUL place and their prices are worth it (you won't find anything cheaper in Houston with that beauty and that great central location).

I absoultely loved The Gallery. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It is extremely unique and allowed for us to be really creative in planning our wedding and reception. It is not at all something you would expect to find in Houston. Tara was always very helpful and made sure we had all of our questions answered. We were able to wander in during the day and take measurements, draw up plans, etc, without being disturbed. It was really a fantastic venue.

I absolutely love this venue. Immediately after meeting with Tara and taking a tour of the facility my fiance and I knew we had found the perfect place. The Gallery offered an alternative atmosphere to the regular ballrooms. The day of our wedding everything looked spectacular.

They were really great in getting everything set up and helping us prepare for the wedding. Allowed delivery of items the day before for us which was great and the staff was really in helping us get everything together

Was everything I had imagined it would be. From the beautiful ceremony out on the court yard to the reception. All very romantic. Tara did a wonderful job as our coordinator. Highly recommended. Was not disappointed in the least.

This place is BEAUTIFUL! Tara and Kristina were so sweet and made sure that everything was perfect for our big day. This venue supplies tables and chairs, but everything else is ala carte, which is what I loved--I could REALLY make our wedding exactly how I wanted to and had the freedom to find outside vendors. But honestly, this venue is stunning and absolutely breathtaking at night!

The Gallery was the perfect place for our fall wedding. My fiance and I were looking for a romantic ceremony and reception location that wasn't over-the-top, and The Gallery fit the bill. The dark woods and brick accents were a perfect, subtle backdrop, and were also easy to work with in terms of our wedding colors. Highlights were the very helpful staff, the affordability, the beautiful bar upstairs and the unique architecture of the second floor that let the guests look down onto the dance floor below. (We hung lanterns in this area and it looked great!) Sometimes the staff are a little hard to get a hold of on the phone or via email, but we would receive responses within a couple days. I'd recommend this space to anyone getting married in the Houston area!

This place was perfect for our reception. When decorated with flowers and candles it really gives a romantic vibe and unique atmosphere. Tara was great during the year of planning,very responsive and helped me find other vendors for catering, dj etc. The cost to rent the place was very good compared to other venues. This is also one of the few places where you don't have so many restrictions on candles and sparklers.
I strongly recommend The Gallery to anyone who wants a rustic and unique fun atmosphere.

I absolutely loved The Gallery for our wedding. It was clean, the maintenance men were helpful, and they let us hang out there all day to get ready.
One negative: Tara was gone on maternity leave and her temporary replacement was sick on the day of our wedding. If it weren't for my day-of coordinator, we would have been completely lost on what to do. It seems like a one-time thing, but we would have appreciated having someone to help our coordinator during the event.

The Gallery provided a perfect venue for our wedding. The sunny weather & the beautiful magnolia tree provided the perfect natural backdrop for the outside ceremony, and the unique 2-level building was perfect for the reception. This venue is just the right size- small enough to seem intimate, not cavernous, yet big enough to host 150+. I've received nothing but compliments.

The Gallery was the perfect venue for my wedding! My husband and I immediately fell in love with it and booked our date during one of their open houses. They only hold limited business hours, which is the reason for 4 stars in Responsiveness, but when they were open they were prompt and polite. We were very pleased with the staff when rain was imminent for our outdoor ceremony - they were completely willing to change plans for us as the weather changed throughout the morning and even had our indoor backup plan in place when we arrived. Overall it was a perfect experience working with The Gallery!

Excellent Venue to host a wedding especially an outdoor event. The setting, look and feel of the place was wonderful with lots of options on where to have the wedding. I would recommend this venue because you have so much freedom to choose your vendors. Loved my wedding at this location and couldn't have asked for better.
