As the owner of The Villa Coronado Venue in the heart of San Antonio, I know firsthand the importance of making sure your wedding guests feel comfortable and welcome. San Antonio is not only rich in history and culture, but also brimming with hospitality. With its exotic blend of Spanish and Texan flair, your guests are bound to have an unforgettable experience both inside and outside of the wedding festivities.
When considering accommodation options for out-of-town guests, location and convenience are key. One of my personal favorites is the Thompson San Antonio – Riverwalk. This modern hotel offers breathtaking views of the San Antonio Riverwalk, akin to a gentle canvas of serenity amidst the hustle of the city. The Riverwalk, a world-renowned network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, is also home to exquisite dining, luxurious shopping, and historic landmarks like the Alamo, which is a mere 10-minute drive from 9919 Roosevelt Ave., where The Villa Coronado Venue sits.
For guests preferring a more historic ambiance, the St. Anthony, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is a splendid choice. Often compared to a grand dame within the tapestry of San Antonio, this hotel offers a quintessential blend of classic and contemporary elements. Besides, the historic Market Square, a vibrant shopping area just a short drive away, allows guests to immerse themselves in San Antonio’s local art, crafts, and delicious Tex-Mex fare. It’s a fabulous way to unwind between wedding activities.
Our venue, The Villa Coronado, is conveniently situated near an array of hotels, catering to different preferences and budgets. Additionally, our locale boasts an abundance of car rental services, ensuring ease of transport around the city. With San Antonio International Airport just 20 miles away, your guests are never too far from experiencing what this city has to offer.
A frequently asked question from wedding clients is about accommodating guests who travel with dietary restrictions. At The Villa Coronado, our in-house catering team takes great pride in customizing menus that cater to a wide variety of tastes and dietary needs, ensuring that no guest leaves unsatisfied. There’s a reason why, according to the San Antonio Business Journal, the city was ranked as one of the top destinations for culinary experiences in Texas¹.
To make wedding planning a seamless process, we also collaborate with local vendors for entertainment, florals, and decor, allowing us to craft an event that is uniquely tailored to each couple’s wishes. Pair this with the hotel accommodation suggestions and the array of local attractions, and you’ve provided your guests with not just an event, but an entire San Antonio experience.
