Hidden Jewel

After my depressing Wednesday, I just really didn't care about a wedding anymore! But once you've been looking at wedding stuff for so long, it becomes habit. WELL, I was searching the web and I found a place in Spring, TX, and the place is only about 5 miles from my house!!! Yesterday, I called and scheduled and appointment for this morning. I was very excited because the website said that they were pretty much all inclusive! And I just felt like it would be priced right.

At 10:00am, we headed to Shady Oaks. OMG, this place is PERFECT!!! First of all, the lady that works there is so nice and pleasant! Her presentation was on point. And she is VERY professional.

The venue is on 6 acres. It's very tucked away. Their packages include nearly everything. The do the linens, have several centerpieces to choose from, the refreshments, the wedding cake, the food, the DJ {they have four to choose from}... you name it, they pretty much supply it. The only thing we'd have to worry about is the groom's cake, photographer/videographer, and florist.


This is the outdoor cathedral. It was built a year ago and holds up to 300 people. It has lights and ceiling fans. For Houston heat, I must admit that it felt pleasant under there even without the fans on. {But it WAS morning.} It has a beautiful high ceiling and I guess that's where all the heat was. They high pressure wash it and set it up the day of the wedding, so it's clean!


In the event that it's raining AND windy, we can switch it up and use the indoor cathedral. It's very nice, as well.


This is the inside of the reception hall. Sorry the pic is dark. I'm too excited to try to edit it! lol


This is the sweet heart table in the middle of the bridesmaids table and groomsmen table.


The cake tables.


This is the buffet hall. You can be served on both sides and they have someone directing all of the traffic. They don't have a liquor license, so we can bring our own liquor, we'd just have to pay for a bartender.

THE PRICE IS SO ON POINT for all that it includes! We are in love with this place and it's THE ONE! I plan to go tomorrow to show my mom. We're even in the calendar for a date next year. The date will be revealed a little later. As for now, I'm THRILLED!!! This day can't get any better! But if it does, I'll be sure to let you all know!
