Jennifer and Andy’s wedding at The Houstonian was beautiful and elegant, but don’t let that fool you, these two knew how to have fun! It was one of the last weddings in 2020 before COVID shut everything down, and they went out in style!!

In choosing The Houstonian for their wedding celebration, they were able to host all of their weekend activities and guests all in one location, which is one of the things we love best about hotel weddings. It was the perfect spot for out of town guests, the rehearsal dinner, the getting ready locations, the ceremony, and the reception. Plus with their iconic lighted Texas Live Oak tree and unmatched hospitality, it is hard to not fall in love with this Houston treasure.

The ceremony for 250 guests was held during golden hour in front of the twinkling Texas Live Oak, and then everyone moved inside to the Grande Ballroom for the cocktail reception and dinner. Jennifer’s parents spent many months working with the amazing team at The Secret Floral Garden on gorgeous decor and place settings, so when planning the timeline, we made sure that the new Mr & Mrs Miller got to experience it before everyone else. We are so glad we did, those five minutes produced some of the best pictures of the evening by the incredible Ama by Aisha.

After a delicious dinner of multiple salads and vegetables, red fish, chicken, carved to order beef tenderloin, and the Houstonian’s “all the way” mashed potatoes, the guests danced the night away thanks to The Matchmaker Band. Whenever they are performing there is never an open spot on the dance floor, and this wedding was no exception.

We knew everyone would be having such a great time with dancing and the custom neon sign photo booth, so we were prepared with almond and chocolate wedding cake from Susie’s cakes and mini desserts from The Houstonian. We had the traditional mini pecan pie, apple pie, and triple berry pie tarts, plus in a nod to Jennifer’s Peruvian heritage, we were sure to include plenty of alfajores. But there were no sugar highs for these guests, dessert was followed up with late night breakfast tacos and mini pizzas as well!!

After all that eating, it was time to finish out the night on the dance floor, starting with the Aggie War Hymn and ending with the bride and groom on the stage during the final song of “Shout” with a surprise ending of a confetti cannon!

It was a perfect blend of elegance and fun, and truly reflected Jennifer and Andy!

Congrats Mr & Mrs Miller!
