This is a pretty nice event venue.everything is in like-new condition. The aesthetic aspect is very high end. I really like the sound system-- everything is clear. In fact, Soundhound had no problem identfying the songs playing. There is also a very nice exterior garden-- which even features a nice wedding-type canopy!! I dont know what this place costs or how it compares to other similar-sized venues, but it certainly worth looking at. :-). The only slight downsides are a medium-sized dance floor and no dedicated table of honor. At the time of the Brindis, the staff sets up on a nice table that is used as part of their regular decor, but not covered with fancy linens or decorated.

Grace gardens is your BEST spot for any event in El Paso, especially a wedding. Abby Garcia was my event coordinator for my wedding. She offered The BEST customer service. She was always very attentive to detail, very friendly, very welcoming, and kind. We had our wedding at the tent, and let me tell you, my wedding was A DREAM. Everything was perfect, Abby and her team were soooo amazing and the decorations were PERFECT. Truly a magical wedding. The facility is beautiful.

Really nice place on west side for special events. Several event areas. Easy parking. Quaint and relaxing little lake area.Dinner staff was attentive.

My Nephew’s wedding was a wonderful event here. Everything was well put together, the only downside was all the rain.If I may suggest, during the reception party the music from the DJ was way too loud. There is no reason to have dance music so extremely loud that one has to shout to talk. It was louder than a live rock concert. The same music and atmosphere would have been enjoyable with a lot less decibels.

The place aesthetically is pretty, however the experience was sub par at best. Everyone’s food was served cold, the kids mac and cheese was hard and seemed like it had been cooked hours in advance. The DJ was not good at reading the room and if it was not for a select group that was willing to dance to anything, the floor would have been empty the majority of the night. The worst part was the “security guard” who stood next to the bar the whole night with a gun on display on his hip just staring at everyone. It killed the vibe every time someone looked at him, there was no reason for him to stand in the room with a gun on display. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary, he shouldn’t have been in the room, he should have been watching cameras in a separate room like every other well done place of business with security. To make it worst, at the end of the night when everyone was getting ready to leave and getting into cars he followed everyone outside and stood next to the door watching everyone, still with his gun on display. It was terrible, and again extremely uncomfortable. As a guest I would not recommend this venue.

They created a prom for us, we were able to have a prom thanks to them. That prom was amazing! Very good service and they have everything you need. Beautiful ballroom, inside and out. Very good security and your event will come out better than planned.

I absolutely loved the venue! I celebrated my wedding there this past weekend and it was everything I expected. The service was great! Our event coordinator, Araceli Romero, was on top of it all and went above & beyond to assist us. The cake was delicious & looked exactly like the photo I showed the baker. The flower arrangements were beautiful. The bartenders made sure bride & groom were never empty handed lol. The DJ was friendly & set the mood from the start. The servers & staff were very helpful too. I would definitely recommend this venue!

I was the OIC of a military ball for my battalion and chose to go with Grace Gardens, specially Victoria as our representative. She is great! Very professional and great to work with, she makes the planning and preparation up until the event fun and she is very easy to work with! The venue is very nice and spacious, plus they have different sizes depending on the size of the event. The only downsides, is that Grace Gardens is a little pricey, but you get the quality you pay for and it is located far away from anything else, hotels for example. If you are looking to host a military event, I would highly recommend Grace Gardens and Victoria.

The center looks great but we actually went to The Kichen restaurant which is connected to the event center.It was our first visit. I took my two teens for breakfast. My daughter and I had the Challah French Toast and my son ordered the 150 omlette with turkey for the meat option. The French Toast is served with a berry gastric alone for $12. It was good, but the slices of bread would work better as 3 smaller slices over the 2 oversized slices- I felt like a steak knife was needed to cut them over the table knife. The 150 omelette ($13, I think) is supposed to be spicy, but it was really quite mild, with a decent flavor though, and his hashbrowns were slightly undercooked.The servers are very polite and helpful. Abivance is lovely, but the food and options areok but over priced for the value in my opinion. Not likely to go back as I can prepare the same dish with more flavor at home.

Abby helped my husband and I plan a wedding and reception in a very short amount of time. Abby was so patient, kind, helpful and accommodating. Abby and the management staff helped us save some $$. On the day of our Wedding Ceremony and Reception Abby and the Grace Garden Team were exceptional!! Every detail was better than we imagined and carried out with elegance. The reception hall was beautiful and the food was delicious. In this COVID Era it was a Blessing to have Abby and the Grace Gardens Staff to depend on. Thank you all so much 😇🙏

Grace Gardens has several meeting halls which made it a little difficult to find our event, especially since we arrived late.So, after going into the wrong gathering, we wandered around the campus until we found our banquet to celebrate the end of a victorious season for the Franklin High Lady Cougars Soccer Team.

Excellent venue. Gotta say this first. Excellent venue. However; I attended my nieces wedding ceremony held in a beautiful sunset outdoor setting. Id like to give this venue a 4 or maybe even a 5 star but I cant. After the 3rd car drove by cruising the property (cant blame the curious) and overhearing conversations in an adjacent parking location, I got up from my seat to try to stop it myself. To my astonishment the event staff with secure earpiece communication were huddled and unaware. That I had to bring it to their attention was disappointing. They did react quickly professionally and effectively. All the meanwhile who knows why things had to happen. Call it a hiccup. Beautiful venue and location.

0 stars if I could. Please put on the website that your facility does not allow same sex marriage. Having to call for pricing then ask YOU if our love is permitted in this venue. All to be told NO at the end is beyond disappointing.

Review №53

Nice venue, but thats about it. They ran late on everything from dinner to cocktail hour. Beer and wine only, and very expensive. Considering what they were making on the cost of the venue, their prices for drinks was outrageous. I had prime rib and it was like shoe leather. Terrible. They cut and served the wedding cake and it must have taken at least 40 minutes for the first slice to be brought out. I dont know if the DJ wastheirs, but he was awful, way too loud and he played the same songs over and over. I truly felt bad for the brides parents, who Im sure paid for this. Go look elsewhere if you want my opinion.

November 4th, 2017 wedding reception. Well worth it, our reception went by smoothly and everyone had a great time! Andrea, our coordinator ensured that everything was done on time and that we and our guests were taken care of. Frank, our DJ, worked with our picky music selection and adjusted as needed during the night; one of the most humble, accommodating people weve met (not just as a DJ, but as a man). We would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

Could be better. I realize it is February but there could have been more heaters available. The coffee was lukewarm and the coffee cups were cold - not good. The two entrees (chicken & prime rib) were great. The carrot cake is bad, choose something else. I suppose in nice warm weather it would be fine. I dont know about the hot weather they have down there though.

I had My wedding here last weekend and it was a beautiful day! Our wedding coordinator Abby was amazing, everything was done perfectly and she was so helpful the whole night. She even helped us pack all of our things up at the end of the reception! I definitely recommend her to anyone planning an event.HOWEVER. She became our coordinator because our first coordinator Rosie was TERRIBLE. She cancelled appointments on me multiple times, one time an hour before. Then tells me she’ll call me in two days to reschedule, never did. So eventually I called Trying to talk to her and she was never there, left voicemails, sent emails.. she never responded. She eventually called me saying I needed To come in to finalize everything for my wedding so I made An appointment for the following Monday at 1:00. My fiancé and I show Up at 1:00 and they say she just went to lunch LOL. Not to mention she had another appointment at 1:30. So I guess She thought it was right to go on a lunch break when she had two back to back appointments. After complaining to the manager (who was amazing) she switched us over to Abby. When I started Finalizing everything with her so many things were wrong. Rosie is beyond unprofessional and supposedly she’s been there the longest, what a joke!To top it off she didn’t even look at us when she came back in, she hid in her office lol!!She’s terrible, but overall everyone else was amazing and we had a prefect event.

As the Director of El Paso Fashion Week all i can say is i highly recommend Grace Gardens for all your special event needs. Ive worked with various venues in the past & im extremely content with not only the service but all the details that Grace Gardens had for my event & most importantly they know how to resolve any issue & they are very time effective at all times!!! I appreciate working with such a professional company that made my life so much easier & most importantly made my event look at the level of the Bigger Cities meaning New York & Miamis Fashion Weeks So THANK YOU Andrea & all the Staff at Grace Gardens for all your great Services!!!

My wife and I picked Grace gardens because you get a wedding coordinator when you plan your wedding here. With the Mix reviews we decided to give them a try..... Big mistake! From start to finish this place dropped the ball over and over! 1st coordinator wouldnt communicate and was all over the place on planning and pricing, she was fired for unknown reasons. 2nd coordinator seemed to be good at first then things went down hill fast! She forgot my wife and I were coming into town for the tasting, didnt have a table and didnt have the food we wanted to try. Then tried to play it off like she didnt forget and had the chef make one plate out of 3 we wanted to try. The food is one step below hospital cafeteria food, and they dont let you bring outside catering. At this point we have no choice but to try and pick simple food options that might be decent the day of the wedding. A week before our wedding the 2nd coordinator gets fired! So in steps Vanessa, our 3rd coordinator. She reviews our file and calls me to inform me that the beer that was already ordered and quoted was going to be $400 more because vendor pricing went up and our last coordinator should have sent me an email. I ask to speak to a manager she says ill have her call you. Vanessa calls back and says we will honor the price if you get 2 kegs and the rest in bottles.?? At this point im over it and demand to talk to the manager. Finally I speak with the manager, she says let me see if Hannah sent the email, of course she didnt so she agrees to honor the original price. Wedding day comes and what was suppose to be memories of a lifetime for 15k ended up being a headache of a lifetime. Here we go! 1-flowers for unity candles were not put on the table. 2- mic had issues for ceremony. 3- Dinner was late. 4- The chicken they served me and a few guest was RUBBER! Butter knife wouldnt cut it! Sent it back and got a brisket plate, served me nothing but fat! At $22 and $23 the food is TRASH! That chef needs to be fired! 5- The DJ played my wifes love story video for all our guest while she was in the restroom! A special message I had for her she missed while I sat at our sweet heart table alone. You can imagine how embarrassing this was when all my family was looking at me and asking where my wife was? We had to play it a second time when she finally made it back, ontop of it all the speakers to play the video were staticky and you couldnt even really hear what we were saying. I wish I would have listened to other reviews and got my own DJ! Then came the biggest issue of all. We had 45 guest RSVP and not show, I asked Vanessa to ask my guest if they wanted seconds. She said of course ill get my servers on it. I go around telling my guest to ask for seconds, after all we paid 3k for the plates. At the end of the night we pack everything and they give us our extra cake to take home, my wife ask Vanessa if they packed our left over plates? She says no we handed them all out..... The next 2 days I contacted all of our family and asked if they got extra plates? 3 of my cousins asked for 2nds and were told NO! At the time no one told me anything so I couldnt handle it right then and there at the wedding. I call sandra the manager and she proceeded to tell me that Vanessa did not ask people if they wanted seconds because she was afraid to many people would want some. So I say why didnt she pack them? For health reasons we dont let anyone take food home and the leftovers go to Juarez for homless she says..... If that was the case I would have called a charity of my choice to come get the food! Why should they get to choose were your $23 plates go? I reviewed my contract and nowhere did it say we couldnt take our food. So Sandra reviewed my contract and sure enough had to refund me 45 plates, plus the flowers that were missing. All in all Sandra made it right, but none of this should have ever happened! Vanessa is a straight up liar, and should not be trusted! Keep all your paperwork and records conversation! Trust me! Texas is a one party consent for recording.

Review №98

Very nice location and views. Be sure to be 110% specific with all the details you want or they will be forgotten. After our ceremony at the redwood our coordinator was no where to be found to direct our guests to the white tent for the reception so everyone stood around confused for some time. For this reason we ourselves (the bride and groom) had to use a portion of our picture time to direct our guest out of the area. Also, I would highly recommend paying for a trusted dj of your choice, not the one they offer. I sent sheets of music and recommendations with orders in which we wanted our music played and the dj completely ignored every bit of it and said “ he could not find or download clean versions” so he basically played what he felt. Our floral came out amazing, however the availablility and professionalism of the florist made this portion of planning very difficult. We were also promised a white aisle runner and as I walked down the aisle for the first time I was disgusted at the short (covered maybe 1/3 of aisle), dingy, off-white carpet.Just keep in mind this is a wedding factory.

This simply cannot possibly contain enough words to completely express our appreciation for Grace Gardens and their AMAZING coordinator, Andrea. You are by far, the BEST coordinator in El Paso, TX! We are still in awe when we look back on everything you did for us before, during and after our daughters Qinceañera. Without your help, Laurens special day would not have been the picture-perfect event she always dreamed of!
