The greater Texas area has a range of stunning outdoor venues that can produce unforgettable events. You may say Houston is “hacienda central,” and Giggster can connect you with an ideal space. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of organizing your wedding in town can help with venue selection.
Advantages
Houston is located in the southern part of the country, making it a great place for guests flying in from anywhere in the U.S.
Mild winters and green spaces make Houston ideal for year-round outdoor celebrations.
Houston’s diverse food scene provides endless dining options, from Vietnamese to Tex-Mex. Your only concern should be deciding which top caterer to hire for your wedding menu.
Disadvantages
Rush hour traffic can cause service and guest arrival delays. Remember this when browsing venues in the most congested parts of town.
Houston's hot and humid summers can limit venue options, given that the top priority should be air-conditioned and shaded locations at the time.
Getting anywhere without a private car is challenging because the city is spread out, and you can't rely on public transportation on your big day.
A hacienda provides an idyllic setting for an outdoor wedding. It's also a lovely location for a themed event, especially rustic or country-chic celebrations. Do you need inspiration to identify and book the best ranch-like space, like ? Our suggestions below can help:
Ranches – Rustic Weddings. A ranch is the best hacienda-style wedding venue you can rent for your special day. It suits couples who want to get hitched surrounded by natural beauty and, in many cases, resident livestock. Many ranches are petting farms, presenting an opportunity to take unique wedding photos.
Gardens – Receptions. A ranch-themed home with massive gardens or a large area outside suits a themed wedding. The often conveniently located venue allows you to celebrate your big day in a beautiful location without traveling far.
Event Halls – Receptions. An event hall can bring your special event to life in an unforgettable way. It's ideal if you want a venue that can provide most celebration needs, including planning and catering services, or give you full rein over the space.
Bungalows – Intimate Weddings. Houston has many residences that can accommodate hacienda-style weddings. A bungalow is a suitable choice for a small wedding. Search for a location with a large yard for your ceremony and reception setup.
Chapels – Ceremonies. A chapel is the quintessential ceremony space. Some haciendas have them on site, but Giggster can also help you locate religious establishments near ranch venues.
The goal is to ensure your guests have the best possible experience sharing your grand occasion. Giggster can assist with the initial step—we can help you rent a unique event setting. Use these tips to organize an elegant hacienda wedding in the perfect venue.
Book the Perfect Venue – The features a venue offers and its capacity are some aspects that determine if it suits your event. Having total access to the space is helpful, especially when organizing all big-day activities in one venue or a multi-day celebration. Message the property owner for custom requests, including a virtual visit.
Invite the Guests – The guests you invite will help create memories, and initially, they determine several event details. The guest count determines what venue you book, your food order, and your bar tab. It can also impact your transportation costs if you are arranging guest transfers.
Create the Right Atmosphere – The atmosphere makes a party more enjoyable, and several things can create it. Hanging fairy lights and mood music can capture the essence of the celebration. Decorate tables and chairs thematically, and add warm, wood accents for a rustic theme.
Schedule a Photo Session – A lot goes into preparing a hacienda for a wedding. It only makes sense to document the process and plan a photo session. Lease themed photo booths that highlight the theme and create beautiful photography backdrops.
You can't put a price on the memories in store, but organizing your grand occasion starts with a price tag. You can lower your budget with a few decisions, starting with renting an affordable hacienda. Giggster has you covered, with gorgeous locales from mansions to art galleries to villas. Here are more ideas on spending less and still organizing a memorable event.
Host the ceremony and reception in the same venue.
Logistics, decoration, and rental costs are involved when renting any venue. Sticking with one location is easier and more affordable, especially with in-house vendor services.
Plan an intimate wedding.
A hacienda is a flexible wedding venue for grand and intimate events. The romantic atmosphere also suits intimate gatherings, and planning a small wedding will cost less. You can organize a cozy affair in a hacienda-themed bungalow.
Organize an off-season wedding.
If you still haven't set a date, consider an off-season date. Message the property owner and request a custom quote, asking about available discounts or early booking deals. Weekday bookings are also more affordable than weekend reservations in most venues.
