From our first sit down meeting (before covid) to the emails and day of event set up and load out, Kate and Janell were professional, personable and covered all of our questions and requests with a smile. It's the little details that make a difference in a good event and Hughes Manor checked all the boxes for me. Lots of outdoor seating selections, a nice variety of tables and chairs, special lighting fixtures, and accessible a/v hook ups - Hughes Manor is full service! Most importantly the bride and groom and their families were SO HAPPY with the venue and the catering crew - Churrascos. Thank you Hughes Manor for making this wedding picture perfect!

It's a beautiful historic building located in the Heights, and it's a quirky space, with the old truck bays downstairs and a more conventional event space upstairs. The Good: Lovely historic building. Decent parking. Central location. The Bad: Difficult Management. Management is available only on Saturdays from 9-10am. No other times - if you need to measure, plan, or tour the venue, that's when you've got to be there. No rehearsal times are possible, unless you rent the venue again. Management seemed put off after our second visit - we wouldn't have had to come back if their hours were not so brief! Questionable Business Practices. We meticulously cleaned the venue after our event, yet $60 was withheld from our deposit, without explanation. After calling them, the excuse we were given was that there was "water on the floor, probably from someone dragging a garbage can." That costs $60 to fix? All in all, it's a pretty place and inexpensive, but the fact that the lady running the operation is so difficult to work with makes it impossible to recommend the venue.

If you're looking for a versatile event space with great energy and support, this is definitely the place. Highly recommend!

I recently attended a wedding reception at this venue. I travelled from DFW…read more The venue itself is interesting and the food and service were ok. No real negatives. But The have a nice parking lot next door to the building. During the course of the reception a number of cars were vandalized/robbed (broken windows and ransacking the contents). It wasn't even dark yet. Mine was one of them. It could have easily been mitigated by a rent-a-cop. Take note as this was a very avoidable event. Beware and if you rent the venue get your own security if the venue doesn't care.

I am a wedding officiant and perform a lot of weddings every year. I was at Station 3 on December…read more8, 2023 for a ceremony and I met Paula, the venue manager, outdoors when I drove up. They have a great parking lot, especially for a venue so close to downtown. However, Paula told me to park on the street literally a few feet from the entrance (really helpful since I am usually the first person to leave). I would describe the wedding as "magical". Station 3 has a magical quality that is hard to describe. It's not very big so the guests were literally only a few feet from me. However, it added an intimacy that really made this venue and the wedding stand out. I have no control over where my clients book their weddings but Station 3 would be high on my list as a recommendation. However, my perspective may be quite different since I am a vendor and not a client but I would jump at the chance to return. I loved it.

This garden is a small garden that has very limited hours but is quite nice. The best way to describe it is a TINY bayou bend. It still has some nice fountains and flowers for photo taking. They were setting up a tent for a wedding ceremony so apparently this can be used a wedding venue also. Their public hours are M, W, and Th from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm.

They worked with me on my multiple revisions to the contract to change times and other details we didn't realize we needed until the week of the wedding. The venues are both well appointed and .Five was a truly unique place to host our cocktail hour. We received many compliments on the character and unique feel of the venue afterward. All transactional items are simple with Rōnin--online and paperless as well. My only recommendation is that if you use this venue, you will likely need to also rent .Five for additional catering space. We rented .Five for that purpose and host our cocktail hour while Ronin 2 was being flipped from ceremony to reception and I did not realize until after the wedding that our caterers did not get to use the space at .Five due to the fact that we were using it for the cocktail hour. I thought there was more space in the back, but relied on our planner to work with the caterer. I should have confirmed this all myself. After the wedding, I was told by the caterer that the delays in serving dinner were due to not having enough space for food prep. I also had a number of caterers turn down quoting the event due to the inability to use certain equipment they required on site. If you are serving a simple buffet meal, this might work; but if you need space for plated meal set up, you will need all of the space in .Five for your caterer. This was not an issue resulting from venue management. This is just something I would want to be aware of if I was booking here. Overall, this venue is beautiful and perfect for a wedding of around 50 people. I would definitely host here if I had the chance to do this all over again.

This is a beautiful venue perfect for small outdoor weddings! I attended a wedding here last night…read moreand it was a beautiful event! However as a guest, there are a couple things I want to point out... First, the ceremony setup. The bride and groom were positioned a couple steps DOWN from the majority of the rows of chairs, meaning if you were in row 4 or beyond, you couldn't see anything. I was in the second to last row and could hardly see anything. My friends in the row behind me (the last row) couldn't see anything. It was just an awkward setup for the guests. The biggest downfall of this place was their lack of restrooms. They have TWO for the entire venue... while I, myself, don't drink alcohol anymore, I'm fully aware of how it creates a constant need for use of the restroom. Many of the guests were enjoying their beers and glasses of wine, so this created long lines at the restrooms. Lastly, the gravel in the front half of the venue was a nightmare for all of us ladies in heels. My strapping stilettos were constantly getting small pebbles up under my toes and it was super uncomfortable. The dance floor and seated area for dinner, however, had turf, which was MUCH more pleasant to walk on. I wish they had this all over the venue grounds instead. Overall, the setup was nice as they had one area for the ceremony, another for cocktail hour, another for dinner/dancing and a small indoor area where the Photo Booth was set up. Additionally, the bridal suite (which I didn't actually see for myself) was upstairs, which gave the bride a birds eye view of the guests as they arrived. Pretty cool! I think a few small adjustments would make this place a five star experience for everyone involved!
