Planning an outdoor wedding in Metro Houston-Galveston, Texas Author: Father Louis Bernhardt, OSA In Texas out door weddings are quite popular. There are many venues you might seek out if you are planning a outdoor wedding. First would be the location of the celebration of your vows. Locations such as your backyard, a neighborhood or subdivision park, a local beach, or a popular city or state park are some options. In the Houston area there are many such places that are excellent for your outdoor wedding: 1. Hermann or Memorial Park are excellent spots for outdoor weddings. Celebrating an outdoor wedding in the Park it will be witness usually by many people that usually ends after saying the I DOs with the crowd applauding and yahooing for the couple celebrating their wedding vows. 2. Backyard weddings are also very popular in the Houston area. A nice freshly cut & trimmed yard is a nice place to say your vows of committment to one another. Usually the celebration has a bar-b-q pit all fired up and filled with good eats being cooked. There are several rental companies that can help in making this outdoor event simple or very fancy. Nothing is really required except a table for the minister to set up his alter and a number of folding chairs for the guests to sit in. But a rental company can also provide a wedding arch, tables, and cloth covered chairs. You can also hire a wedding musican for the ceremony, a DJ, or a band of the genre you prefer. (Cost approximated: Minister $250, license to wed $45, musician $250-$750 depending on whom you select, food and beverages $250, rental of chairs, arch, etc $250). A very nice wedding can be had for around a $1000 especially if you are very budget conscience, yet it would be an everlasting memory for all that attend. 3. A Galveston Beach Wedding. These are some of my favorites. The Galveston Island State Park is a great place if the weather is agreeable. The pounding of the sea on the beach is an excellent background noise! Cost wise it's the same as number 2. Not expensive yet a very memorable occassion. PLus in Galveston wedding are permitted on the Seawall and many are held at the Seawall Statue across form the San Luis Hotel. A Moody Gardens Wedding 2011 Valentine Celebration blessing of the rings. >h4> Moody Gardens also hosts weddings but the cost is 3-5 times that of a beach wedding and can be rather expensive, but it is a Most Beautiful place for outdoor weddings. The open beach at the San Luis Bridge is also a great spot to have your wedding officiated when the weather is beautiful. There are many other spots on the water in Galveston where a wedding may be officiated! Take a trip to Galveston, and do some sightseeing! 4. Gazebo Weddings! In the Houston Galveston Area there are many public and private Gazebos available. Some are free, but some hotels require you to stay in the hotel or pay a fee to rent the Gazebo for a wedding celebration. There are also several in the Galveston area. There is a beautiful Gazebo at the City of Rosenberg Park off Hwy 59 south. There are many subdivisions around Houston that have Gazebos with a small rental fee. These weddings also can be had for a total fee of around $600-$1000 for everything if you are thrifty, and yet provide a beautiful and lasting memory for all. 5. Country Club out door weddings. With multiple Country & Golf clubs in the Metro Houston-Galveston-Woodlands area these can turn out to be a most excellent place to hold your wedding but usually the price for the complete wedding will be 2-4x times higher, but you have the benefits of having a room to dress in and get prepared for the service. The Houston Equestrian Club in Katy, Texas also hosts weddings with an outdoor venue. This is also a great wedding spot. A Country Club out door wedding can be rather expensive if you want to go all out, with an Orchestra, a full course catered meal, flowers, and soveniers for the guests. But this is your weddings and you must decide on what you really want and desire in a celebration 6. Other locations include several restuarants in Houston that have Outdoor locations for weddings and other celebrations. prices on these can run from inexpensive to very expensive depending on your personal requirements; For Information on a Outdoor wedding: Contact: Most Reverend Louis Bernhardt, O.S.A. + Bishop * The Anglican Rite Old Catholic Church, Inc. * Metro Houston - Texas 832-569-2014 About the Author: Most Reverend Louis Bernhardt, O.S.A. + Bishop * The Anglican Rite Old Catholic Church, Inc. * Metro Houston - Texas * Telephone 832-569-2014 or 281-857-2079 Article Source: ArticlesBase.com - Planning an outdoor wedding in Metro Houston-Galveston, Texas Louis Bernhardt | Create Your Badge Click Here To read Father Louis's Article. < Visit Anglican On Line Website!
