Grace Gardens Event Center

ou wouldn't be accepted. It was an older review so I was hoping the views had changed. Sadly, that wasn't the case. My partner called and asked if they would let us tour. At first they were enthusiastic, until she stated we were an LGTBQ couple, then we were politely turned down. I respect their views and appreciate that they were at least polite about it. But like that early review stated, don't bother if you're not a heterosexual couple.

t without going through different vendors. Dj Frank gave life to our wedding. Our friends and families had such an amazing time. My husband and I also had the time of our lives. Thank you Peggy and Frank for all your work! I cannot express how grateful I’m for all your work!

ly thing I was not pleased about was our dish we ordered… when we went to the tasting we tried the chicken Florentine and we loved it! Come wedding day we did not get chicken Florentine we got chicken when some type of sauce that was not creamy but you can clearly see the spinach and cheese… it didn’t look appealing to me and I had two bites of the chicken and just ate the sides…

lenging situation, planning our wedding both virtually and in person due to our long-distance relationship. Maria's flexibility and willingness to accommodate our unconventional planning process were beyond impressive. From the start, Maria was incredibly malleable with our appointments, seamlessly transitioning between in-person meetings and virtual consultations. She never hesitated to explain any concerns or charges and offered invaluable suggestions for the design of the tent ballroom. Her creativity and attention to detail transformed our vision into a stunning reality. What truly set Maria apart was her dedication to making our day perfect. During the wedding reception and dinner, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even when unexpected changes arose or we needed an extra hand, Maria took the initiative, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. Her behind-the-scenes efforts did not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful for her hard work and dedication. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to DJ Frank and all the staff who helped make our wedding day a resounding success. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the event. Thank you, Grace Gardens Event Center, for providing us with such a magical and memorable wedding experience. And a special thank you to Maria for making our dream wedding come true!

y vision of how I wanted everything to be and she just did that and better. Thank you for all your hard work! We loved the venue

our wedding planning. Our wedding day went extremely smooth and the entire Grace Gardens team made the wedding a success for us as the couple and for our guest. I thank Peggy and her team for helping us make our dream wedding become a reality!

the fact it was an all-inclusive type of venue was such a plus! Not having to schedule and coordinate every single vendor was the best part and truly takes a lot of the stress out of the planning process. The staff here at Grace Gardens was so easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how small. They were able to accommodate so many of our needs from food accommodations for allergens to personalized décor we brought in. Our event coordinator, Peggy Stein, was so amazing to work with from beginning to end! She left such an amazing impression on us from the moment we secured our deposit, I immediately told my best friend to inquire into the venue. Needless to say, she booked her wedding with Grace Gardens and scheduled her wedding date the week after ours, also utilizing Peggy as her event coordinator! We booked the Pond Island Pavilion for the ceremony and the Gardner Ballroom, only a short distance away, for the reception both of which hosted 130(ish) guests. The Pavilion where the ceremony was held was set up beyond our expectations and such a beautiful space. Our photographer was able to capture its raw beauty which included the gorgeous scenery and water features. Our reception was held inside the Gardner ballroom, which is stunning in itself. The chandelier that overhangs in the middle of the dance floor was such an eye catcher and the bar inside the ballroom is so classy. We loved the fact everything was so personalized to our vision to include the colors we imagined. We choose to do an elegant, classic, black & white theme with hints of champagne. The way everything was set up, our guests felt like they were in a scene of an extravagant movie and could not stop talking about the place. The food was absolutely delicious; So many selections made it difficult to decide! The entire staff to include our wedding coordinator Peggy Stein, florist specialist Veronica Valles, DJ John Carrera, all waiters and bar service (Ray) were so professional, accommodating, easy to work with and amazing at their jobs. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout and were so impressed by the dedication they have in this industry. Specifically, to our wedding coordinator Peggy Stein who ran the entire event flawlessly! We love you, Peggy!! Thank you again to the amazing staff at Grace Gardens for making our wedding day so spectacular!

an immense help and kept Us calm and worry free through the whole process! Our wedding was done at the pond and the views were gorgeous! DJ Frank was our events DJ at the Gardner and he knocked it out of the park! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at the Grace Gardens!

ul. The customer service was extraordinary, from the planning to the day of my event. Peggy was our coordinator; I am thankful for her patience, guidance, knowledge, and coordination for my event. You won’t be disappointed with upgrades or food. The quality of food and cake is high. With the research and organization I did, grace gardens is the best venue in El Paso.

eggy knocked out any issues that came up the day of, leaving us stress free. Thank you Peggy & the team at Grace Gardens!

ly. She is an EXCELLENT events coordinator, who guides you every step of the way and provides great recommendations. She is very professional, patient, organized, talented, responsive, and detail oriented. She works with a smile and she transmits the peace you need to put on an important and meaningful event. I was truly blessed and lucky to have her as an events coordinator, and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her for your special day. I would also like to recognize Veronica and her floral team for the AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements they made. She guided me in selecting the right flowers, and she provided excellent advice. She is so talented that she was able to take the picture I had in my mind about the look I wanted for the event, and she brought it to life. She too has all of the wonderful qualities that Abby has, and they both ensure that your event is even more special than you expected. I too would like to thank the talented Benir who made the GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS cake, the chef, his kitchen team and wait staff for the fun tasting and for the DELICIOUS meal they prepared. Abby also provided the best recommendations to make the event even more memorable, and each one was WONDERFUL to work with. They include: DJ Frank (great music, lighting and special effects), One Board Chick (beautiful and delicious charcuterie boards), Javier Jimenez (video/photography), Skyline Photo (telephone and photo booth), Omar Alvarez (Margarita Machines) and Dear Sweet Events (delicious elote cart). Our event was truly breath taking and magical, but in addition, I very much enjoyed every meeting, every phone call and the entire process leading up to the special day. To the staff, feel very proud of the work that you do, because your work touches lives in unexplainable ways and to the owners, you have the BEST team and event center in El Paso. Congratulations on having such a beautiful facility, not only physically but in the staff that you have. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU and may God bless you.

rns and wishes and she made it happen how we wanted to! We then had Peggy 2 weeks away from the big day and she was perfect, it was as if she had been with us from the start! The day of she was very communicative and fun! We would turn and look at her and see her also having fun. Our day went so smoothly and perfect thanks to the Grace gardens team! Our DJ Frank was hands down the best DJ we could've been paired with! He communicated with us from the beginning and made the night so much fun. We heard from everyone that night that they loved him and how he kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. The waitstaff and bartender were all so nice and attentive to not only our needs but our guests as well. Working with grace gardens and their team was so easy and lovely.

re everything was planned out exactly the way we wanted it. Veronica went over the top at making sure everything was ready for my daughters big day which was amazing and unforgettable! Abby helped making sure the day ran smoothly and the venue was beautiful!! ♥️

helped us with everything. Maria is very professional, available, flexible and very organized. Maria, I couldn’t thank you enough for making my daughter’s special day such a breeze. Thank you for all the extra effort and the added touches that you've done to make everything come together. We really really really appreciate everything that you've done for us. DJ Frank was very thoughtful and professional in his planning and collaboration with us prior to the Quince. Frank kept everyone on the floor the entire night. He made our event so fun. Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun the Quince was and how they had such a great time. The ballroom looked amazing! The food was delicious, everything was perfect. You are all amazing and I wish you all success and awesome projects and events in the future. Thank you Maria, DJ Frank and all the Grace Gardens team for being part of Tina’s Quince!

ul. I would highly recommend Grace Gardens to anyone planning a special event. Our event was held in the tent and it was absolutely gorgeous!! We wish we could do it all over again!!! It was the best day ever!!

I received all the help that I needed and if she was busy at any moment, she always provided us with backup. When it came down to the day, Abby felt like a friend and I think that’s what made this entire experience even better. Elias and I are both so thankfully, truly. From the bottom of our hearts Thank you for everything

we had a little hiccup but she was quick to recover and we continued to enjoy every bit of our night. Her patience and understanding when we chose something a bit different with the decor was very appreciated. Florist made sure they pertained to our dark colors. Everything was great. A night to remember forever.

lanning process and on the day of our wedding! We did not have to deal with any last-minute issues or questions -- all we had to do was say: "Go talk to Maria" and she had it handled! Thank you so much for making our day as memorable as can be. With gratitude, The Ruezgas.

sy to work with and very helpful with every detail of planning. We had some last-minute changes to our ceremony plans due to weather, but Abby had a solution, and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The servers were very polite and did a fantastic job. The food was excellent. The cake was beautiful. The DJ did an excellent job, and the flowers were perfect - just exactly what my daughter wanted. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. They were also really quick to pack up and get us on our way after the reception ended. I would highly recommend Grace Gardens. I think they did an amazing job and were very reasonably priced. A special thank you to Abby for her hard work and a special thank you to all the people at Grace Gardens that made my daughter's wedding so special. We had a wonderful evening.

cious, and Frank the DJ was the best! Knew what to play for our guests. If I could give them more stars I would.

sure everything was done to a T and that we were happy throughout! Frank, the DJ, was spot on with the music, and made sure to speak to us ahead of time to ensure that all of our needs were met! Everything was amazing, and we are still receiving compliments to this day!

on. With me. The flowers were beautiful thanks to Ivonne. Very beautiful outcome! Ty

above and beyond what I expected to make my wedding turn out perfect! Yvonne with flowers did an amazing job!!! All the staff was safe, extremely polite, and did a wonderful job keeping my guests comfortable and happy with their needs! DJ Frank did an awesome job keeping the party up beat and fun!! I can't thank all the staff that helped with our wedding enough for everything they did!! I would definitely recommend people to have their wedding here or any event they are planning!! I just can't express what a wonderful experience I had here enough!!! Thank you again Beth, Frank, and ALL the staff for everything!! Your guys ROCK!!

cious and all of our guests love it! DJ Frank killed it and kept our guests dancing the whole night. He played exactly what my wife and I requested and made it fun all night. We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking

tions with the planning of our big day. My husband and I live in San Antonio and she made it easy to plan the wedding even though we don’t live in the area. DJ Frank did a great job with playing the music we had requested and kept the crowd dancing all night long. Ivonne, the florist, was very patient with my many questions and last minute requests when it came to the design of the floral arrangements. Lastly, everyone kept talking about how delicious and tasty the food was. We could not be more happy with the decision that we made to have our reception at Grace Gardens; it was all so perfect and beautiful!

verything turned out as we had planned and discussed for the reception, she even remembered little details my husband and I had forgotten about. It was nice not having to worry about what came next. The wait staff was very attentive, the bartenders were friendly, and the food was delicious. Once the dance started, it was very apparent DJ Frank knew exactly how to get a party started and keep it going. He listened to all of our song requests and incorporated them into the evening flawlessly. My husband and I, our families, and our friends did not leave the dance floor, it was a very fun and exciting night! Thank you again to everyone at Grace Gardens who made our big day truly unforgettable!

. Our guests loved the catering and we had no problems with any of the orders and all the food was great tasting. The DJ had all of our guests dancing the entire night and was very intuitive to keep the moment up and everyone on the dance floor. We plan on continuing to use Garce Gardens for our upcoming celebrations and would highly recommend them!

usic, simply awesome!! It was non stop dancing all night. Thank you Frank for being an awesome DJ!! Highly recommend this venue. Its my second event there and won't be my last!

s were exactly what we wanted!! You really do get what you pay for this venue! The only thing that I did have issues with was the DJ he did not play everything on our list. And our flowers were a little late for delivery we could not find the coordinator for them. I would recommend that they be a little more clear on the floral pick up.

ths, table layout, and centerpieces) were exactly how we wanted them. The coordination and planning workload was greatly reduced with the help of Sally Salcido. Sally was extremely helpful, friendly, attentive, and very professional. Grace Gardens organized a day my spouse and I will remember always.

vents came out without ONE hiccup!! The food was amazing!! My brothers and I went all out and allowed Grace Gardens to do their thing, from dessert table, to dinner, etc. They didn't disappoint. The DJ, Frank, was awesome! He had everyone dancing all night. I can't express how happy I am with the way both events turned out. The owners love to give back to the community and allow local schools to hold their end of year events during the week and only charge for the food. They work with any budget and also throw in the center pieces. They aren't greedy and it says a lot about an organization that continues to give back to the community year after year. We have been holding our school events there for the last 5 years. Kudos to El Paso Grace Gardens!

ry time my husband and I would call her she was either busy or not there. I constantly had to call her myself to see what was the next step and to see what else I needed to do. Also, a week before my wedding I paid everything and she even told me everything going was paid and my balance was cleared. The day of my wedding she charged me an extra $100 that I had supposedly not paid for the bartenders when she had previously told me it had already been included in my final cost. I ended up just giving her the money cuz I didn't want to ruin my wedding day but I didn't think that was professional at all. Other than that, the decorations were just what I asked for and not to mention the venue and ceremony area were beautiful.

dly hear the music and much less make out the lyrics. They assigned me the worst DJ! Not once did he play what I asked him for and he only played one genre the entire night. The only time I got to dance at my own wedding was at the end of the night when he put all the line dances one right after the other. The lights went out due to a storm and they had no generator and reacted so slowly. My guests and I were left with no music for about ten minutes and it was the most embarrassing thing. I paid so much money for this venue, expecting for everything to turn out as close to perfect as possible but that was not at all the case. So many things went wrong the entire night and not once did I feel at peace. The servers had no respect for the bride's suite and they were letting everyone go in there. There was a guest who had to change their baby in my bridal suite because Grace Gardens does not provide a baby changing station in the guest restrooms. Aside from everything going wrong and nothing being under control, the food was the only thing I could say was good. Overall Grace Gardens is beautiful but the service is awful and I do not recommend this venue at all for a wedding.

society. Everyone in El Paso is accepting and to have someone discriminate us was unbelievable.

“per policy they don’t allow lgbt wedding.”

time! Thank you for taking such good care of us, Grace Gardens!

DJ he kept us dancing the whole night. Ivonne did an amazing job with the decor it was just like we had imagined if not better. Finally, Daisy our coordinator was on top of every single detailed through out the planning and during that night. I couldn't have done it better myself. Thank you guys for an amazing night, we had a blast

I never felt doubtful of their services. Words can’t describe how I felt when I first saw the wedding setup, definitely exceeded my expectations. It truly was the wedding of my dreams!

edding coordinator, more professional staff and gorgeous venue. Their accommodating mannerisms made us all feel like family and would highly recommend to anyone expecting top-notch service. We truly loved the overall process as Sally made it worry-free and smooth.

d wanted it, if not better. The florist had beautiful work and the dinner was better than I had remembered from the tasting. It’s a beautiful venue with breathtaking scenery.

very helpful and so gracious with every detail, which made our special day a very memorable one. Would totally recommend to a friend!
