Whether you live in Houston or are just planning to get married there, rest assured that Houston is a central wedding shopping destination. The stores of Houston’s uptown district are legendary, the bridal shops known for friendly Southern-style service, and you just can’t beat the nonstop sunshine! Here are some of the top-voted wedding vendors in several important categories, according to our friends at Wedding Wire.

Wedding Band

Three-time Brides Choice Award winners Chamber Music Unlimited take home the prize for best wedding band. With 81 positive reviews and a 4.9 rating, it seems that everyone who tries them, loves them. We all know how important music is in creating that special vibe at a party, so Chamber Music Unlimited actually lets the bride and groom choose their instruments and sound. Since they represent bands and groups in nearly every genre of music, they can handle requests for anything from Bach’s symphonies to the Beatles to Justin Bieber!

Wedding Venue

Houston is a beautiful, sprawling city, so it should come as no surprise that there are dozens of gorgeous wedding facilities to suit any size and style of wedding. Whether you want an intimate garden ceremony or a lavish disco-themed extravaganza, there is a venue in Houston that will make your dreams come true. One venue that Wedding Wire reviewers consistently loved is the Cleopatra Palace Banquet Facility. Winner of two Bride’s Choice Awards and a featured venue on The Knot, Cleopatra Palace receives rave reviews for its elegant ambience, convenient and top-notch in-house catering company, and friendly customer service. With a main hall that seats 275 guests, indoor and outdoor ceremony locations, and many in-house services like photography and DJ’s, this premier Houston wedding venue is literally a one-stop shop.

Catering

People may come to your wedding out of friendship, but they stay for the food! In all seriousness, the modern bride has many choices when it comes to feeding her wedding guests, from the traditional sit-down plated dinner to a fun spin on buffet treats. Only one caterer in Houston, a three-time Bride’s Choice awardee, is equipped to handle any culinary request you can throw at them, and that is Behind the Bash. Fans rave over the friendliness and accessible service provided by the BtB staff, and they are even more excited about the food. Behind the Bash offers everything from one-bite appetizers to trendy cocktails, vegetarian entrees to elaborate dessert tables.

Photography

Wedding photography has moved far beyond the traditional posed, cheesy shots of years gone by. Modern wedding photographers move with you as you experience your wedding day, documenting the experience in a way that is at once unobtrusive and memorable.
