I had the pleasure of attending my cousin’s daughter’s first birthday celebration at the River Oaks Garden Club Forum, and I must say ….. what a hidden gem in the heart of Houston! This venue has an old-world charm with a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for intimate gatherings. While the indoor space is best suited for events with under 100 guests, it offers a cozy, elegant vibe that made everyone feel comfortable and connected.

It’s truly a photographer’s haven and a wonderful venue to create...

Extremely disappointing, unprofessional and sketchy! They offered no actual answer as to why they didn't hold up their end of the agreement, never gave a heads up to the couple nor did they offer to make things right after having ruined their special day. I expected a beautiful day in the garden and instead got a...
