We wanted to love our wedding experience at McGovern but unfortunately, it was one nightmare after the other. TLDR: do not get married here - they do not follow through on what they promise and its difficult to get ahold of staff. When we first toured the venue, we were promised a room to get ready and also the pavillion as a backup plan, since we wanted to get married in the Celebration Garden. We were super excited and we put down the deposit a year in advance. A month before our wedding, we check in and find out that our venue manager no longer worked there and what was promised was being walked back on. That left us with no rain plan at all (with storms in the forecast) and struggling to find an approved tent vendor. The only alternative they gave us (and this was only after repeated callbacks, texts and emails to no avail and no available tent vendors in all of Houston) was that we could now rent the pavillion at its full cost. They knew they had us in a tight position as there was no way we could move venues so close to the wedding. After back and forth again, they said we could only use the venue (at a fee still) if there was rain. If there was no rain, we still couldnt use it but we would still have to pay for it regardless. If this was initially advertised to us, that would be fine, but it wasnt and was clearly a cash grab given our situation. On the actual day of the wedding, we also had issues. We were promised reserved parking but we saw that random public visitors were parking in our lots and my dad had to go out and ask them to leave. McGovern employees were nowhere to be found. We also had people going past the blocked off areas and into our photos. Again, the security we booked was not present. They nickel and dime for everything and everything had to be through approved vendors who verbally told us McGovern took a large cut, so vendors need to raise their prices a lot higher as well. It was a nightmare and we were so glad when we moved on to our reception venue. Please avoid at all costs.

Beautiful garden and reception area. My soon to be wife and I were checking out the place for a potential wedding reception, unfortunately our visit was ruined by an overly aggressive security guard on a power trip. A wedding ceremony was taking place and we decided to watch from the public area when he approached us yelling at us to leave, didnt even treat us with respect or dignity. I wouldnt want my wedding day r or anyones day uined by an incompetent security guard or event coordinator that could have made the necessary arrangements and closed off a part of the park that we thought was public. We will look elsewhere.
