What we'll ask you
Your request asks a few quick things, so vendors can price it right:
- Which garden or estate venue styles interest you?Garden ceremony + indoor reception, Courtyard cocktail party, Historic home
- How many guests will this serve?
- Indoors or outdoors?Indoors, Outdoors, covered, Outdoors, open, Not sure yet
- How many hours do you need them?
Houston notes
- Spring (March-May) and October are peak garden months. Mosquito treatment 24 to 48 hours before is common practice for evening outdoor events.
- Houston storms pop up fast in spring and summer. Ask the vendor about their rain and wind policy, and have a backup spot.
