Despite a July wedding, we were comfortable in all the facilities, and really appreciated the separate chapel for the actual ceremony. V311 worked well with all our vendors, answered all our questions, and provided an overall great value. Two thumbs up.

I have so many incredible things to say about this place so I am going to use bullets…read more - The family that owns it is SO sweet and so accommodating. They seriously make you feel like family, the hospitality is amazing. - The venue is GORGEOUS. So many good photo spots. It's so clean and elegant. The property is well-manicured. I got a ton of compliments on how gorgeous it was. - It is very fairly priced. - To add onto the value of this place: they have a closet FULL of decor to use that saved me 100s of dollars in decor. -Also, since you don't have to go through them for bar service/alcohol and you get to hire your own licensed bartending service and buy your own alc you save a TON of money. Venues who have their own bar services usually up charge you a bunch for alcohol costs. - They donate a portion of your total payment to nonprofits against human trafficking/abuse. - I texted Emily maybe 20x a week with random questions at all hours of the day and she responded SO fast every single time! -I emailed Brittney with changes to chairs and reception set up like 7 times the week before and she was so sweet and responded quickly every time. -They were so accommodating with the set up of chairs and tables. My mom is going through chemo so we had to give her a bubble of space everywhere she was during the day and they helped me space things out to achieve that. -They had a staff member there during the morning for questions while setting up and at the end of the night to put all borrowed decor back in the closet. In conclusion: they made this such a stress-free process, everything looked absolutely gorgeous, and I just cannot imagine our wedding being as amazing as it was without having it there. I know I mentioned the reasonable price but I would've paid double for how amazing my experience was!

Worst experience ever and has been a horror. They lied and lied and now it has ruined our event and…read morehas cost us so much money and time !! Hospitality at its worst and I would never trust this owner she will lie and misrepresent just to accommodate herself.

I attended a recent event at the Chandelier Room in our hometown. The occasion was everything I…read morethought it would be, including the venue! The intimate, charming setting highlighted the beautiful architecture of this amazing 3-4 story building renovated by a very gifted family that has taken great pride to preserve the beautiful venue! The two buildings work together to seamlessly move guest from the wedding to the reception! It was outstanding! I hope that someday I'll have an opportunity to host my guest in this amazing center located in our beautiful downtown Navasota!

I used Jen Brazeal for my wedding in May of 2014 (She traveled from College station to the Hill…read moreCountry for a nominal fee) and my engagement sessions. I have to say, she went above and beyond all my expectations. I didn't know really what I wanted or how to get there, but Jen was able to look at my wedding and my style and really capture the moments in the most gorgeous way. She was never in the way but managed to get the most beautiful shots of our entire day... and not just of us, there are plenty of people who were guests at our wedding too. Overall, I would book her again...and probably will when we hit another milestone. In the meantime, you should book her...NOW!!!

The service from Epicures was amazing for our department Christmas party. The two wonderful staff…read moremembers (Christina and Jamie) who worked our event showed up early and were quick to unload and have everything set up food wise. When I myself arrived with other items (coolers of soda, napkins, extra utensils) the two women quickly joined in helping me unload my van and the contents. Before the Christmas party started, food was prepped so it was fresh, neatly laid out on the table, and refilled promptly as the night continued. My boss was very appreciative of the attention to detail when it came to cleaning afterwards, and how quickly everything was handled. Not enough praise can be given to Epicures for how well everything was handled.

Breakfast was delivered to our room and served at our dining room table. It was delicious! It was thoughtfully appointed and had everything we needed in the kitchen, we were able to put together some tailgate food. Loads of towels, great water pressure. All in all way more than we expected. We will definitely return.

There are so many photographers in town and its easy enough to buy a camera. But what Lauren does…read moreis nothing short of art. She captures and preserves a moment in the most beautiful ways. When you look at her pictures you don't just think its a nice picture but you genuinely can remember what it felt like to watch your baby smile or laugh and what you felt like in that moment. If she will allow it, we want her as our family photographer now and always.

Where do I begin with my love for Lauren Melissari and her photography? I found information about…read moreLauren on Facebook when I was pregnant and looking for a local photographer to capture the early days of my newborns life. Honestly, I had no clue what to expect when I walked in there. I was also an exhausted mother of a newborn so I'm sure I was a sight to be seen. Lauren has the studio set up for a queen. Seriously, somehow she has created an area that makes you few pampered while your little one gets photographed. She even said I could close my eyes and nap if I needed to! Loved that. As for her pictures, in that first session, she somehow captured my newborns sweet personality with each shot. I was floored by her gentle way with my son and I immediately wanted more pictures. I scheduled Lauren to take pictures of my son over the course of the year-3 month, 6 month, 9 month and his cake smash (as well as family photos during the year). She has truly become a part of our family and I'm continueally impressed with her ability to capiture my sons uniqueness in each photo. She "gets" the children and babies she is photographing. It is clear, Lauren really sees them for who they are. Lauren has a gift and I'm incredibly grateful I chose her to capture the moments I do not want to forget. In my opinion, Lauren Melissari is THE College Station Newborn and Family Photographer. The one you go to with your most precious little ones and the memories you want create.
