Lilian and the House Estate Staff,

Our wedding last Saturday still feels like a dream. From the calm, quiet morning the day-of getting ready upstairs to the ceremony and becoming husband and wife — to the beautiful reception space and the visits we got to have with family and friends and the fun and dancing that ensued… and everything in between. It was wonderful. 

There are a lot of little moments that keep flashing in to my head from the day but I think one that will forever stay with me occurred after the ceremony when Ryan and I were outside taking a few pictures with just the two of us. Though a chilly, cloudy day, you could still feel dusk approaching as the light outside was just a little bit dimmer. Our photographer asked us to head bacon towards the house so she could get some shots of us walking and I remember looking at Ryan and smiling and then looking back towards the house and seeing the warm glow of light coming through the windows and all of our loved ones mingling inside. I definitely err on the side of sentimentalism for most things in life — so this cued up all the emotions. It was just the sweetest sight. That little moment in time will always be a mental snapshot I’ll hold close to my heart. 

We knew the first time we came by the House Estate that it wasn’t like other venues we’d toured — there was just something special about it. Post-wedding day we can say the exact same thing — there is something so special about this venue. You and your staff and the owners of the House Estate truly are a gem. The beauty of the venue is that it once was a home where people lived, and though it’s been altered a bit to accommodate large gatherings now it still has that same “home” feeling. Warm and inviting, classic and timeless. Lived in and loved — with so many stories to tell. What more could you ask for in a place to commemorate starting this next season of life?! We’d recommend y’all to any and all couples in the market for a place to get married. 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything. It was a pleasure to work with y’all from start to finish. 

– Ryan and Jennifer

My daughter’s wedding reception at House Estate was everything we had hoped for! The venue itself is beautiful, then add their outstanding service and you have a success! Lilian, the wedding coordinator, is fun and patient and truly listens to the vision you have for your event – then she, with the help of a phenomenal staff, make that vision come to life! She answered my unending slew of questions quickly and with great patience. Pam and Calvin House are kind, generous people. Pam even greeted our guests at the door the night of the event! We used several of House Estate’s preferred vendors and everything was flawless! They handled our event of approximately 250+ guests with ease – a well oiled machine! I highly recommend House Estate for any special occasion you have coming up – weddings, retirements, graduations, etc.! The home is beautifully elegant and the staff is tremendous. It is an absolute gem, easy to get to just off the freeway, but completely tucked away! A 5 star experience!

Our daughter’s wedding reception was held at House Estates.  We could not have asked for a better result.  Our coordinator Lilian was professional and patient.  The venue was a big hit with our guests.  They could not believe this hidden jewel was so close to Houston.  The brightly lit trees lining the long drive up to this beautiful mansion built in the 1890s set the scene.  Our guests numbered well over 200 and the staff at House handled the event with ease.  We utilized many of their preferred providers and we got all we asked for from the photographer, videographer, DJ, Caterer, Limos and Linen service.  A big plus was being allowed to stock the bar with our own beverages for no additional charge, easily saving well over a $1000.  We were given ample time to bring in the decor and beverages and further allowed to come back the day after the event to retrieve any additional items.  We looked at several candidates for this most important night and House knocked it out of the park.  We are so grateful.  It’s a pleasure to rate them 5 stars.

 

Our daughter’s wedding reception was all we could have hoped for. So many compliments about what a unique venue it is. Our coordinator was Lillian and she could not have been more thorough and patient. We had well over 200 attendees and the staff handled the affair smoothly and professionally. Right down to the firework sendoff for the newly weds. The entrance with all the trees fully lit was outstanding. The very customer friendly policy allowing the client to stock the bar saved us easily a thousand dollars. Their preferred vendors from DJ, Photographer, Catering and Linens were top-notch. We were allowed to bring our decor and bar beverages in the day before and allowed hours to finish. We were even given extra time the day after the event to retrieve all our items. If I had another daughter we’d definitely come back.. Unheard of cooperation. You deserve the best because that’s what you are.

What can I say… I had the wedding of my dreams last week at the House Estate and everything was so perfect! I don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am with Lilian,my wedding coordinator. She was a real angel! please if you are considering the House Estate as you venue she is a must to have a perfect wedding!

We were scheduled to be married here 9/3/17, but Hurricane Harvey forced us to alter plans. House Estate was extremely understanding and allowed us to postpone our event until 1/13/18. Mrs. House, Connie, and the rest of the staff took care of anything we needed and were very quick to answer any questions we had. We were in great hands!!

Connie is amazing! Especially if you are a people pleaser bride, she definitely stands up for what you want. And her staff is great too, they changed the tables out quickly and were on point the whole night.

We got married on 10/28/17 and everything about this venue was perfect! Connie, the coordinator, and her staff keep everything running smoothly from start to finish! They make the planning process easy and don’t nickle and dime you over cake cutting and cork fees. They even set up and take down the decorations! It took away so much stress and we had the most wonderful wedding!

I could not be any happier with choosing House Estate as my wedding venue! Connie is the best wedding coordinator in the whole universe. Her expertise is what all brides need. She lives and breathes wedding everyday and does it with her true passion. The staff at House Estate are also amazing as well as their preferred vendors. They work effectively and efficiently. No wine glasses were broken and fast service. Our wedding ran pretty smoothly and our guests had a blast! The environment at House Estate is just refreshing to be right outside of Cypress. Take a tour and you will fall in love with this venue!

Our son Michael Clark and his beautiful bride Tyara were married there on June 9, 2017. It was the most beautiful and fun wedding I have ever been a part of and not because it was our sons. Everything was absolutely perfect with a minimal amount of stress! Connie coordinated it all and all we had to do was show up! It was so wonderful to have the house all day so the bride, girls (seven attendants) and moms could relax all day before the big evening. There is even a place for the guys to do the same and everyone made sure the two didn’t mix before the wedding. We had our hair and makup done there and were able to get dressed without having to go out! Had lunch brought in by brides father and mimosas! We had the house to ourselves all day so were able to put out our pictures and things at our leisure. All of the vendors from her recommendations were wonderful. The food was delicious and the DJ kept everything flowing and fun. The flowers and decorations were gorgeous and the photographers were easy going but not pushy even when we ran a tad behind. We had over two hundred people but it never really felt too crowded or rushed. All of the guests had a wonderful time and not a negative thing to say. Connie is such a great person to work with. Pam House and her husband, sorry his name escapes me, were very cordial. Never did we feel intruded upon by anyone. Once the newlyweds left under the sparklers and fireworks we found that all of our things we had put out and the gifts were all gathered up so that all we had to do is load them in the car! The only thing I might have added that the moms didn’t know and the happy couple never thought about was the babysitter service to keep some of the smaller children busy so the parents could be more free. Might suggest that option be offered to the parents of the bride and groom. I could go on and on but just would like to say that House Estate is the perfect place for a fairy tale wedding that will always be remembered!

Connie is a wonderful person. She stays on top of every need for the wedding. She has this amazing talent… She listens and she will do whatever is needed to help you have the wedding YOU want. Most times, when people have that talent of seeing to the details, it’s usually the details they want or are accustomed to. Not Connie! She is just great. Every vendor we have worked with through House Plantation is the same. I am just amazed. My friend, who is an accomplished event planner in another city is just as amazed. She thinks the venue at House Plantation is beautiful of course, but thinks Connie is, by far, the best she has seen!

House Estate made our wedding dreams come true! The entire staff there was wonderful and made the night so stress-free, I had nothing to worry about! Connie was so great in the planning process, letting me know what steps were next each time I checked something off of our list. I feel like I had so many questions and requests and everyone was so accommodating to us, I can’t say enough how wonderful it was to have our wedding here! It was the best day ever!

We got married at here on 12.11.16 !! The venue , staff, and Connie put together the most perfect and beautiful wedding ! It exceeded all my dreams of a fairy tale wedding !! I am so glad we chose to do our wedding there !! I am actually going to miss Connie now that it’s all over ):

Connie, Pam, Pedro, Mercedes and the rest of the amazingly attentive staff ensured my daughter the day of her dreams! We were “over the moon” with the care taken of everyone. I highly recommend the venue-but more than that, I thank you all for the perfect start to their new life together! �����

We got married on 08/27/2016 and it was a wonderful experience having my wedding at House Estate. It went above and beyond my expectation and was everything that I ever dreamed of! My ceremony was outdoor. The gazebo, lake, trees, and sunset was a perfect picturesque background for a wedding ceremony. The reception hall has windows all around it that provided an outdoor feeling for an indoor environment. Everything is just gorgeous! I also want to give my special thanks to Connie and all the staff at House Estate to help me with this wedding. It would be a lie if I say I wasn’t stressing about the wedding a bit, but Connie is just so great that she helped make everything go so smoothly and relieved me from all the worries. She is very experienced and knows exactly what to do for each component of the wedding. Plus she is just a fun person to talk to and work with. It’s definitely a five star experience for me. The venue is very reasonably priced for such a beautiful place and the flawless service! I would definitely recommend House Estate to anyone that I know!

 

We got married here October 1st, 2016 and it was an absolute dream! All the vendors we worked with were amazing and Connie was literally the best. She is awesome to work with & kept things moving and on schedule! I cannot thank and the team enough for making our wedding perfect. House Estate is absolutely beautiful.

We were married at House Estate on August 20, 2016! What an amazing day! From start to finish we were taken care of by the staff and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! Connie and the staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect and beautiful. The venue itself is simply stunning! We have a great experience and if we had to do it all over again we would choose House a plantation ❤️�❤️�

We got married at House Estate on 8-20-16! From the second i drove up i knew that was were i wanted to marry my husband. The pictures on here just don’t do it justice. The venue is simply beautiful! For me pictures were going to be the most important thing and i wanted to make sure we had a beautiful place to take them. The staff was fantastic come wedding day. If anything did go wrong, i knew nothing about it! They are very professional and Connie sure does know what she is doing. Her staff is a well oiled machine and know what they are doing. If you are looking for a timeless beautiful spot for your wedding, this for sure is the place to go. I would get married here every year if my husband would let me haha Thank you House Estate!

House Estate was a dream come true for our wedding day. The venue itself is breathtaking and the staff is wonderful. Everyone was very accommodating and professional. Connie (the venue coordinator) is a lifesaver. She had everything under control from small details to big. I had no worries the day of except making sure I was beautiful and spending time with my wedding party as I waited for the ceremony to begin. She checks in with you for updates and is really just overall wonderful. They only do one wedding a day which is awesome because you aren’t rushed and have all day to get ready on site if wanted. We love House Estate and are extremely happy with the way our wedding turned out!

Best Choice EVER    posted 1/5/2016

Connie (the venue coordinator) and the team at House Estate were absolutely incredible. My husband Josh and I (woah, husband) had our ceremony AND reception there… something both of us knew we wanted from the get go. The venue was easy to contact and we were able to get an appointment to see the place very quickly. That’s when we met Connie and were pretty much sold on the place. The House Estate really does think of everything. You can choose to have them include a minister, fireworks, margarita machines, horse-drawn carriage, etc. The package price includes linens (though we ended up buying our own because I was obsessed with them). And anything you don’t need they will simply take out of the price. The price is broken out line by line and includes everything but your florist, photographer and videographer. The price will fluctuate depending on how much you pay for food. Connie did such an awesome job of helping us through all of these choices. The awesome part? YOU GET TO BRING YOUR OWN ALCOHOL!!! And if you’ve done your research you know how expensive it can get when you have to pre-pay the venue for it all. We got all of it from Spec’s and took all the leftovers back for a refund. Literally so awesome.

From day one, Connie was readily available for any questions that came up and helped me through the entire process as far as timelines and making sure everything got done. Y’all, they are brilliant there. The venue is an old 1800’s plantation home and still has all of its old southern charm. And the acreage it’s on?? AMAZING. The property is perfectly groomed and has a beautiful, long driveway lined with trees that are wrapped in Christmas lights year round. As if this place could get any more beautiful than it already was, Connie and her team turned that place into a dream come true! They coordinated well with all of my vendors to ensure that it went off without a hitch. It comfortably seats 300 and we had about 220 with plenty of room left over for dancing (which we did a lot of)!

I wish one of my friends would get married here just so I could ATTEND one and get to watch the whole thing from another perspective. My family and I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a sweet, elegant and beautiful venue for one of the most wonderful days of your life.

 Loved everything about House Estate, Connie, Pedro & Mercedes. The day couldn’t have been more beautiful. Although weather didn’t cooperate for the planned outdoor ceremony, I can’t imagine that it could have been any more beautiful than the indoor ceremony was. The staff made the transition seamless and quickly. The vendors that we used, some HP and some outside, were awesome. Thanks Connie and House Estate for making my daughters day, the day she had always dreamed it would be!!

“Getting married at House Estate was a beautiful dream-come-true. Connie and her team seamlessly kept my expectations met and exceeded. I probably was not the easiest bride to work with- I am soooo picky. But they met me at every turn, gave me incredibly useful advice, and brought my vision to life. Their vendor suggestions (they are not exclusive to any particular ones) are absolutely wonderful. It was a joy to work with everyone involved. All of my guests are still talking about how beautiful my wedding was weeks later! Beautiful, to me, is an understatement. House is GORGEOUS. Amazing venue for a secluded yet cozy atmosphere- the epitome of southern comfort!”

They were very professional during the ceremony and well organized. You can choose your own vendors or go with there’s. We did a little of both and were happy with how everything turned out. We had to move our ceremony indoors because of the weather and they went above and beyond to make us feel special.

The beauty and charm of the venue speaks for itself…it is absolutely breathtaking! The staff is beyond amazing, accommodating, attentive, engaged, helpful, courteous…the list can go on and on. Connie is the wedding/event coordinator, and she is excellent. She provides any and everything that you need to make sure your day is perfect. She answers all questions in a timely manner, and she really knows weddings. The day of the wedding staff (ie. Mercedes and Pedro) were great as well. They went above and beyond anything I can have ever dreamed of and so much more. If you are looking for a venue that is beautiful, all inclusive and offers excellent service, look no further. People are still talking about our wedding. 🙂 Thank you House Estate!

We absolutely LOVED this venue! Our wedding was so magical and even 6 months after our wedding, we are still getting complements on our wedding and how we chose such a great venue. Connie was so very helpful and she even surprised us with some extra things just because she wanted to! We could not have dreamed of having our wedding any place else!

 Connie and her staff were awesome!! Thank you so much for helping make our wedding night a special one to remember!!
 

“I had my wedding at House Estate on June 8, 2013 and it was perfect! Connie Franklin and her staff are amazing and made my night something that I will never forget! Mostly everything at the Plantation is included in a package and their vendors are all definitely worth it! The Plantation back porch was also just glassed in making a June wedding possible without worrying about older guests and everyone getting all sweaty. The Plantation is gorgeous during the day but it is even better all lit up at night – and the fireworks at night when you are leaving is a great send-off to your new life as a married couple! I would 100% recommend House Estate to any bride! It is an all around magical place to be married to your best friend or for any event!”
Great Wedding Venue!

“The House Estate in Hockley is the most beautiful place to have a dream wedding and Handled by the best staff I have ever experienced Connie, Ben and Jennifer and their Staff are so professional. We had our daughters Wedding their 11/09/2012 It was perfect KUDOs to the team for a job well done. It was perfect GOD BLESS YOU and your team.”
Most Beautiful and well Handled Venue in Houston

“They were wonderful! Connie, the wedding coordinator, took care of everything! We brought all our drinks and appetizers the day of the wedding. The staff arranged and decorated it all. I set up one example table with my centerpiece and then they did the rest of the tables perfectly. I had over three hundred guests and they were all through the buffet line in 35 minutes. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor, vintage, or country site.”

Our Wedding

“I absolutely love the place my husband and I got married. It was everything I could have imagined and more.
We had a beautiful outdoor wedding with about 175 guests and everyone has told me how beautiful our wedding was.
We could have not done it without the advice of House Estate’s wedding coordinator: Connie. She is amazing at her job! Also the Mr. And Mrs. House were absolutely charming and very gracious. And not to mention the wonderful staff who did such an amazing job!
Thank you for all your hard work”

“I want to do my wedding over and over again because i loved it so much… and i would do it at House Estate EVERY TIME. The staff is more than amazing. Connie and Ben were so great coordinating everything and making sure it was as smooth as can be. Ben even went above and beyond when one of my guests accidentally lost his wedding ring in the trash while washing his hands after using the restroom… Ben and his staff went through every napkin in the trash to find it for him. UNREAL. Plus, I had absolutely no idea that was even going on until my friend came over to tell me they found it. They always watched over me as I was talking with everyone to make sure I was good, had a drink in hand and enjoyed myself. Plus, Mercedes and Pedro went way out of their way to make the decor I had look even better than I expected. Absolutely everyone was a joy to work with and it was a real treat to have Mrs. House involved with it all. She is so sweet. Just love this place.”

“I couldn’t imagine having had our wedding at any other place! From the time we arrived until we departed under a sky filled with fireworks, every detail was taken care of and the night was seemless! So many of our guests commented on what a unique and beautiful venue this is.

Connie and Jennifer were with us every minute of the night, making sure our needs and wants were 110% fulfilled. Their recommended vendors and staff were wonderful – the house was beautiful, the food amazing, the music and dancing were fun!

Our guests truly enjoyed themselves, and we all had an amazing time!

Thank you for our memories that we will always cherish!”

“My husband and I were not sure we were going to even go look at it because the price seemed high. We are so glad we did. We fell in love with the place. The coordinator Connie is the one that sold us on it. She is the nicest, and most helpful person that I have come accross from all the venues I looked at. She is so down to earth. The owners are so helpful as well. This place trully makes you feel special on your big day. They are so flexible when it comes to making it your own.”

“I dont even know where to start. House Estate is comprised of such a professional, resposive, accomodating staff. Everything i ever saw was perfect, running smooth, and everyone was extremely happy. I love that about this venue. They run ever aspect of the show, so they are in complete control of what is going on at all times, and they know exactly what they are doing. They work hand in hand with you to customize the whole experience to your dreams. It is such a unique location for your special day, secluded, private, natural beauty everywhere, the flowers, ponds, trees, everything was manicured to be picture perfect, the staff was so attentive to every need and want. I could tell my guests were blown away just by the fact that we found this place. Its a hidden secret eden. A very special place for a very special day! Connie coordinated our wedding and helped us to find a way to include everything we could ever want and stay within our budget! She was greaT! i highly highly recommend House Estate

“The crew at House Estate was excellent. Connie was a blessing and stepped in to take care of issues without me even knowing it. For example, our caterer did not provide enough food and she made arranagements to cover the missing portions. She also provided a recommended list of wedding vendors, many of which I used and loved (I should have used her caterer). I’ve had many people comment on how beautiful and unique the venue was in addition to how friendly the staff was (Pam and Connie walked around to all the tables and greeted guests, the police officer provided my 92 year old grandfather with his jacket to stay warm, etc). We were the only wedding on our date and were allowed to use the facilities as early and late as we needed. Thank you, House Estate!”

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. First of all, it’s beautiful, with exactly the right amount of antique charm without being gaudy. They have space to accommodate a large amount of guests like we had, and the flow of the entire evening was handled with the utmost professionalism. The wedding planner, Connie, is amazing. She really knows what she’s doing. She was so helpful with every little detail, and she and my mom quickly became friends. The venue provides a lot of extras for you, making the whole experience a lot less stressful. After the wedding, I had so many people tell me how much they loved it, with some people even telling me they felt like they were in a movie. It was perfect!”

“We had our daughters wedding ceremony and reception/dinner at House Estate in August of 2009. It could not have been better! Everything was held outside – in August – in Houston! They had cool mist fans everywhere and it was really comfortable. No one complained of the heat. I was so pleased! Connie (the in house planner) and the staff had everything set up, they accommodated all of us for every request, the food was fantastic, the house and landscaping were beautiful, and the segues between ceremony, meal, and dance were seamless. Just fantastic!!!”
