One of the options Brady and I were leaning toward for our wedding and reception was Briscoe Manor in Richmond, Texas. It is really close to Houston but it is on this huge ranch. It is one of those places that have the chapel and reception room in one location.
Brady and I all ready really loved it but one of the coordinators emailed me back today with upsetting news. Apparently if you are getting married on a Saturday evening (who isn't?) it will cost a minimum of $16,600. And that is not even including any alcohol. Needless to say, that's too much to pay.
Although being engaged is a really exciting part of my life, I can't help but feel like people in the wedding industry are constantly trying to take you for every penny you have. I'm just frustrated! It's making a destination wedding look really great right now.
We still have a few more front runners that we have to go see when Brady is next in town. Texas Safari Ranch looks very promising. We used to have our band banquets there in high school. They have a BUNCH of rooms to choose from. Plus their food was good!
I got these from a list of the best places to have your wedding in Houston. I just glazed over the sites, so these might not be what you want at all, and I don't know how much they cost, but I eliminated the ones I didn't think you'd like.

There are SO many amazing places downtown, like I love the Crystal Ballroom, but I'm sure they all cost a fortune. :(
