The Estates at Pecan Park — Attraction in Tomball

My husband and I loved the venue so much during our tour that we wanted to book it at that moment! I love all the trees in the backyard and had the vision of having our ceremony there. Unfortunately it rained that morning but thankfully we were able to have it under the outdoor patio! It looked lovely with the exception of a puddle in the middle of the aisle :/ My mom told the coordinator about it before the ceremony started and was told she would take care of it. The puddle comes out in my pictures and you can see where my veil and dress dragged through the water in our video :( The good thing about having it at the outdoor patio was that we found out there were quite a bit of ant piles in the backyard when we were taking pictures which would not have been ideal for our guests. We chose the DIY option so we had a lot to decorate, but both Stacy and our coordinator, Charlotte, who Stacy recommended were beyond helpful with setting everything up. Stacy even got on a ladder to help hang up string lights around the windows in the reception area. And when I told Charlotte I needed some Mr & Mrs balloons to be filled with helium, she volunteered to take them to Party City, so I was very thankful! I noticed a leak in the ceiling that was causing a puddle in the reception area but thankfully that was taken care of during the time we finished setting everything up! With the DIY option, the only specific vendors you have to book are security and bartenders. We were given 2 bartender options and went with Beyond Bartending. They told us we would have to bring coolers for 400 pounds of ice because the freezer in the venue isn’t big enough. I asked if Stacy had been made aware and Beyond Bartending told me they have told her numerous times that a bigger freezer is needed. A larger freezer would have been much more convenient since coolers are bulky and they were just another thing we had to add to our list of things to bring. Not to mention the coordinator told us we ran out of ice a couple of hours before the wedding was over, so I had to make a decision of which guest to send out for ice at 10 PM. There is no such thing as a perfect wedding day; I know things get missed and forgotten. I’m simply giving my honest review. We finished our set up early since we had all hands on deck and our ceremony started on time even though we were waiting on the ring bearer to arrive! It was still a beautiful day and all my guests had a wonderful time! If you have any specific questions, feel free to reach...

Stacy, Troy and Charlotte made our dream wedding come true. This was the last venue my (then) fiance and I toured in the Cypress/Tomball/Magonolia area, and we went on a cold and rainy afternoon because we were bored. Even with the terrible weather conditions, we instantly fell in love and called back a few hours later to secure our date.

The venue offers either just a rental or packages which utilize their preferred vendors for everything your big day needs. We went with one of the packages and it was the best decision we made. The venue also lets you provide your own alcohol, but you are required to use their bartending services. Totally cool as Frannies was great. You are also required to pay for police officers to be on-site, but I think this is a state requirement. Everything else is up to you. Troy told us that we could pretty much do whatever we wanted, as long as it wasn't illegal. I thought he was joking at first, but this was actually true. We kept hearing of stories from other events where the people were doing crazy things like building floral structures and stuff inside, and they allow it.

The communication between us and Stacy/Troy, the vendors and the coordinators Charlotte was amazing all the way from start to finish. We cannot stress enough how great it was to go from vendor to vendor and have them know exactly who the florist/photographer/caterer was. They all know each other, and they all know how they operate. There were multiple times throughout the months leading up to the wedding where my (then) fiance and I would look at each other and say "This is going suspiciously smoothly". It was the most stress-free wedding planning imaginable.

The day of, everything was set-up perfect. Charlotte was on top of everything. If anything went wrong, we do not know about it, or did not know about it, to this day. Charlottes methods to the rehearsal and time management are great. We felt we could enjoy our day without being asked about everything minute by minute.

I could go on and on about all the wonderful vendors they work with, but I want to keep this just to the venue. It is stunning. The bridal suite is amazing, the groosmen room(s) are great and cozy. Everything about this venue is top tier. We could not have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.

Thank you to everyone at The Estates at Pecan Park! We would get married again with ya'll if we...

Overall, the venue was great (beautiful, clean, responsive vendor). I wanted to highlight the few areas that I thought needed to be improved on: Police Officers- when we toured the venue they mentioned the fee of police officers for the wedding. However, they made it sound like it was an inconsequential amount. I had the impression it was around $200, but I don't want to quote this. I did have the impression it was a small amount. When we got further in the planning process (i.e. after we signed the contract) we discovered the police officers would be $825 (not inconsequential to me). In addition, they wanted it to be all cash. Is that so the police officers don't have to report this income when paying taxes?? Seems shady.... On the day of the wedding, I made note to watch what the police officers did that required so much money. The police officers mainly sat in chairs at the entrance of the venue on their phone. They also ate a MASSIVE amount of food that was not mentioned in their contract. We had expected to get some leftovers to eat after the long wedding night but we did not get anything because the police officers took a mountain of food to their chairs. 2. We knew the bar needed to close at 10:30. What we were not made aware of is that all of the alcohol we brought needed to be out of the venue at 10:30 as well. We didn't discover this until around 9pm the night of the wedding. My parents and their friends ended up having to leave to go load their cars in order to make sure everything was cleared out by 10:30. This was not a fun item to learn about while trying to have fun at your wedding.

Overall, I want to note that the venue was pretty and we will enjoy the photos. I just wanted to point out the big pain points I...
