Getting Married in Houston, Texas
Once thought of as a little brother to Dallas, Houston has developed a popularity fitting of its sprawling charm. Weddings in the fourth-largest city in the United States are plush and grand, a little bit country, and a little bit Southern. Couples opt to marry near the Museum of Fine Arts, with its gardens galore and trails reminiscent of New Orleans. The Old Market Square in Downtown has wonderful views and sumptuous food, perfect for weddings, or just a place for guests to wander. Trees and parks are bountiful in Houston, so wherever you wed, take time to grab a picnic basket, a bottle of wine, and find the perfect spot to celebrate your love.

Despite Houston’s down-home charm, you’ll have no trouble finding first-class hotels and restaurants. New skyscrapers complement older, historic sites. Skywalks and tunnels allow you to stroll through downtown free of the heat, and galleries, museums, and first-rate theater will keep your stimulated for as long as your stay.
Speaking of heat, Houston’s Southern location means weather is steamy. Summer temperatures average in the mid-90s. Should your ceremony be in the warmer months, you might opt for an indoor affair, and then head to an outdoor garden at night. Tornadoes can hit the city in the summer months, and rain is common.
Winters in Houston are mild, in the 60s most of the time, which makes the city a perfect year-round ceremony site. Should you stay awhile, you can always travel to nearby Galveston and the Gulf of Mexico. Wherever you say “I Do” in Houston, the city just seems to confirm your answer.
