Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The gardens are exquisite. Over A and M's 50-year history, the owners have transformed ordinary bike trails into a blooming oasis of fountains, romantic bridges, peaceful stone walkways, ferns, flowering plants, and towering shade trees. Ceremonies may be held outdoors in any season.
- Receptions unfold in a bright, cheerful reception hall. This fantastic room is equipped with a sound system, dance floor, and pretty ceiling fans. Tasteful, neutral colors on the walls will complement whatever decorations you add.
- You can provide your own alcohol and choose your own vendors. Their ultra-flexible policy can save you a great deal of money, and allow you to be as creative as you like with your food, bar, and décor. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, though, A&M will refer you to a list of trusted local vendors.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers
Booking A and M Gardens in Azle covers a lot more than the space. The Rose, Magnolia and Lily packages include a garden ceremony with white garden chairs, a wooden arch, shepherd hooks and a unity table, plus tables, chairs, linens, cake stands, a punch bowl, easels, a bar and a prep kitchen for your caterer. You'll also get getting-ready suites with seating, a mini kitchen and a full bathroom, garden photo sessions and a 1-hour rehearsal, and the team sets up your tables, chairs, centerpieces, linens and rented decor. You'll pay separately for catering, alcohol, the required GR8 Bartending Service ($310 for 5 hours), a $75 linen fee and 8.25% sales tax.
Yes, everything happens on one property at A and M Gardens. You'll say your vows outdoors in the gardens, then move to the indoor banquet hall for up to 225 guests with the Rose package, or the outdoor Paradise Pavilion for up to 125 with the Magnolia package. The Lily package uses the banquet hall for dinner and adds dancing in the Paradise Pavilion. Planning something smaller? The Sunflower (up to 40 guests) and Daisy (up to 10) packages are garden ceremonies only.
Bring them. A and M Gardens lets you choose your own vendors, including your caterer, and vendors don't need to carry insurance. The one exception is bartending: you can stock the bar with your own alcohol, including kegs or margarita machines, but service has to go through GR8 Bartending Service. It's $310 for 5 hours and includes cups, napkins, straws and a $2 million insurance policy. Your caterer gets a prep kitchen to work from.
At A and M Gardens in Azle, full wedding packages run $2,600–$5,800, depending on the package, the day of the week and your guest count.

Magnolia (pavilion reception, up to 125 guests) runs $3,100–$5,300, and Lily (9 hours, with dancing in the pavilion) runs $3,100–$5,800. Add a $75 linen fee and 8.25% sales tax. Half the total holds your date, and the balance is due 90 days before your wedding. Teachers, military members and first responders get 10% off.
The Rose and Magnolia packages at A and M Gardens give you 8 hours: 3 for setup, 4 for your ceremony and reception, and 1 for cleanup. The Lily package adds an event hour for 9 total. Want more time? Extra setup or suite hours are $50 each, and extra reception hours are $100 each, except the 11pm–12am hour, which is $300. Thursday Sunflower and Daisy events wrap by 3pm.
A and M Gardens in Azle has a wet-weather plan, and it starts with saving your garden ceremony if it can. The gardens have turf that can be dried, paths that can be blown dry and chairs that can be wiped down, so a passing shower doesn't automatically mean moving inside. If the weather won't cooperate, your ceremony moves indoors in front of the wall lights. The team makes that call on the day, after talking it through with you, so you're not locked into a decision weeks ahead.
A and M Gardens is a 7-acre garden venue where yours is the only event that day, and you can bring your own caterer and your own alcohol. The owners have spent about 50 years turning the property into landscaped grounds with fountains, bridges, stone walkways and shade trees. You get your ceremony and reception on one property, getting-ready suites with full bathrooms and an indoor ceremony backup. The gardens, banquet hall and Paradise Pavilion are all accessible, and weekday elopement packages start at $600 for up to 10 guests.
Yes, sparkler exits are a go at A and M Gardens, and the venue's Sparkler Exit Package handles it for you. It includes 36-inch sparklers for every guest, a designed setup with signage, lighting, instructions and disposal afterward. It's $200 for 1–150 guests and $275 for 151–225. There's also a fire pit on-site for a cozy moment; just bring your own firewood.
