Chateau of Polonez

Great venue for a wedding or other special event. Nice setting, food and service were very good. Ample parking, attractive landscaping and gardens. Despite the formal vibe the exterior of the building exudes, you can loosen things up here if that’s your deal. If the Château is in your price range and area of interest, check it out…

I was recently invited to a wedding at this location. I don’t cross reference wedding venues via Unilocal before going, so I just clicked on the e-​vite reminder and put the address into the GPS. As I’m driving I’m like WTH this place is really far away. Neither the bride or the groom lives out this way, so why are we here?
Then the GPS says you have arrived… and then you’re in the middle of an empty field. I’m like you got to be kidding me…
Lucky for me, I was arriving a little behind and well there was a huge caravan of guests completely lost… so I followed the car in front of me for just a little bit until we arrive at this giant gate. And then BOOM.
So see this beautiful mansion. And the answer of why is made.
This place is unique. Nothing you will find in the city. Not sure on the costs but well worth it. The middle area is naturally lit, think ashton gardens, then after the ceremony, the curtains are pulled away and you see the whole room open up.
Truly a different spot for a wedding.

This place is rather a far drive but is such a beautiful venue and I have been blessed to attend two weddings here in the past month (although good for other functions)! It is an European style venue featuring faux painted walls and vaulted ceiling with a beautiful double staircase entry that leads into the ballroom. It is amazing how much a venue can transform depending on the theme of the wedding, but both weddings were beautiful! One wedding even rented a gate to create a super grand entrance.
The ballroom is usually where the ceremony is held and it is so picturesque as you walk down the aisle and up the stage to take your vows in front of a panel of windows where you glisten with the natural lighting looking out into the back terrace/​outdoor grounds/​gardens. After the ceremony we had a time for hors d’oeuvres and if the weather is nice the party is moved outside to the gardens, or upstairs to eat and mingle while stuff is prepared for the reception. The ballroom is converted to the reception area and the dance floor is opened as well as the buffet room and bar. Depending on the package, the food and bar selections vary (cash or not). After dancing the night away we had quite a memorable final send off as this place is not in the city of Houston no fireworks zone so we literally had a blast!
I would definitely recommend this place for a venue but will warn it is a veryyy pretty penny and a bit far for guests from Houston. However, if you are looking for a place with lots of nice photo ops you might just fall in love with this veune: beautiful staircases, an outdoor fireplace, fountains galore, gazebo and a lake! Oh also check out the [powder room (I can only speak for women) as there is a nice lounge chair to rest your feet!
