From the reviews

We had our wedding at Gardens at Old Town Helotes and the site is amazing! From the Brides House, Ceremony Area, Dining Reception Area, and The Gardens Grounds, will all blow your mind away! We received so many compliments on how the area was well lighted with sparky lights around the trees.

Recently photographed a wedding at this venue and loved it! Beautiful venue, loved the stream and bridge in the middle of the garden. Definitely a hidden gem tucked away in Helotes, the entire outdoor area was perfect for a sunset wedding and photographed extremely well and easy!

This is a beautiful venue located in the heart of old town Helotes. I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the owner, Vicki. The venue is BEAUTIFUL and the staff was extremely helpful. The outside grounds are amazing and always well kept.

★★★★★ — David, Apr 2021

My husband and I had the most amazing wedding at this gorgeous venue a few weeks ago!! Vicki was so nice and super responsive to all of our questions. The bride's house was a really nice touch and a great place for my bridesmaids and I to get ready before the wedding.

Getting married at Gardens at Old Town Helotes

Gardens at Old Town Helotes comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
