Real Wedding: Amanda and Kenny

Amanda and Kenny had a gorgeous ceremony and rockin' reception at Rockefeller Hall in Houston, Texas on February 20, 2009.

Thank you to Ruven at Allure Photography for providing the gorgeous images!

Venue Profile: The Gallery

The Gallery is a Mediterranean style venue in the elegant galleria area of Houston. With capacity for events ranging from 50 to 300 guests and a gorgeous backdrop for the perfect wedding, Houston brides should definitely check out The Gallery.

There are both indoor and outdoor areas, and your rental fee buys you access to the entire property. Your rental also includes security, parking attendants, and gorgeous chairs! What wedding junkie doesn't get excited about a venue throwing in chiavari chairs?

You can also bring in outside catering and bar service - just make sure you get them approved by The Gallery by the date set in your contract.

One more great thing about The Gallery - they put pricing and availability right on their website. I love that!
