The Pearl Stables: San Antonio, TX

During an amazing site visit in San Antonio, Texas this week, I discovered an incredible wedding venue: Pearl Stables.

Once a grand home to the brewery’s draft horses in the late 1800’s, today Pearl Stable provides a unique site for events. This venue, equipped with full-size kitchen, is very versatile as it is perfect for a romantic fairytale wedding, a vintage glamour soiree, or a rustic - but chic - reception. The best part is that the Pearl Stables is practically a blank slate that you can personalize any look, theme or "feel” tailored to your event needs.

From the glass bottle custom chandeliers to the red velvet curtained stage, this hardwood-rich venue has more character than I could have imagined. Faux “stalls” provide perfectly private dining spaces, while still remaining on the main floor. The round layout creates a very intimate feel, while still remaining a lavish event.

While the website suggests it can hold up to 600, for a seated reception I would not put more than 375 on the main floor to maintain a certain level of comfort. The spacious foyer allows room for buffet stations and two large stationary bars, which are perfectly placed for flow of traffic and need no dressing up.

For more information, go to the Pearl Stables website. They have great pictures, information on event space rental, and the history of the venue.

Happy Planning!
