I always get excited when I hear of a new place that has opened up, or has been revitalized for a wedding. We are constantly looking for something different...a venue that hasn't been jaded in local publications, time and time again. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing with having your wedding at an ever so popular facility; on the contrary, it is a good thing, as many of our clients tend to be visual people, and like the idea of envisioning their own special day in a familiar setting. On the flip side, we always get that client who has a different outlook on weddings, or wants something not normally seen in publications or wedding blogs. So when a new venue pops up, I get excited!

Well, today, we've got three new great venues I'd like to showcase. Each venue is different, but all of them, spectacular!

The Inn at Dos Brisas:
I had the pleasure of meeting with Shannon earlier today to talk about this little hidden jewel! Surprisingly, this little paradise has been in existence since 2004! Perfect for outdoor weddings of up to 500 guests, or an intimate rehearsal dinner catered by their 5-Star restaurant, brides and grooms will surely enjoy! The Inn at Dos Brisas is the perfect setting for that Texas feel: rustic, yet sophisticated. Be sure to visit their website for more information!





The Westin Houston - Memorial City
When you here the name "Westin", you know you are in for the royal treatment! This new addition to Houston opened their doors in March of this year and has been such a hit! Located in Memorial City, adjacent to Memorial City Medical Center and Memorial City Mall, it's the perfect setting for the bride and groom, seeking a modern look. Each and every ballroom has its own personality, set with beautiful neutral tones and top-notch service! Westin Houston - Memorial City is the perfect setting for rehearsal dinners, and up to large parties of 600 guests! Visit their website for more details!





fifty-two-twenty-six elm
Hip and trendy, 5226elm is the newest excitement, catering especially to the intimate weddings of up to 100 guests. With indoor and outdoor options, 5226elm will win your heart over with their beautiful garden and meditation pool...sounds heavenly, doesn't it? Oh, and did you know that they won the enviable American Institute of Architects' prestigious "Building of the Year" design for Texas? It's a gorgeous building, so if beautiful structures are your thing, then, this is the place for you! Visit their site for all the details!





So there you have it folks! You now have at least three different venues to consider. I hope you have found this helpful and Happy Planning!

5226 elm director will not hesitate to cheat on his promises and rip people off. Make sure you get everything in writing - LET THE BUYER BEWARE!

I have booked Elm for my wedding. I am intrigued by the last comment made. I hope I don't encounter any hidden surprises. Wish this person would have elaborated more.

The director is disorganized and overall an a$$. Luckily, they hired Michelle and she is wonderful.
