Part of our Real Wedding Series
At Butler’s Courtyard, we believe love should be celebrated authentically, joyfully, and stress-free. That’s exactly what happened when two beautiful brides tied the knot at our venue in a stunning, romantic, and effortlessly planned celebration. As a proudly LGBTQ friendly wedding venue in Houston, we were honored to host this unforgettable day filled with love, intention, and incredible details.
From their merlot and black color palette to a jaw-dropping black wedding dress, this wedding was bold, beautiful, and beyond smooth — thanks in large part to our all-inclusive approach and trusted Partner Vendors.
