There’s nothing quite like ending your wedding day with a joyful send-off surrounded by family and friends. At The Gardens at Old Town Helotes, couples love to cap off their celebration with a memorable farewell that perfectly reflects their style. From classic traditions to modern twists, our venue is the perfect place to create that picture-perfect ending.
The Classic Sparkler Exit
One of the most popular send-offs at The Gardens is the sparkling grand exit. Guests light sparklers and form a glowing tunnel for the newlyweds to walk through—creating breathtaking photos and a moment that feels magical. With our spacious outdoor setting, couples can enjoy this tradition safely while capturing the perfect shot.
Bubbles & Ribbon Wands
For couples who want something whimsical and playful, bubbles or ribbon wands are always a hit. Guests can wave colorful ribbons or blow bubbles as you make your way out, adding movement, fun, and a lighthearted feel to your departure. These are especially great for daytime weddings or receptions with lots of kids in attendance.
Flower Petal Toss
A romantic and eco-friendly option is to provide guests with fresh flower petals to toss as you exit. It’s timeless, beautiful, and perfectly complements the natural beauty of our gardens. Many couples choose petals that match their wedding colors for a personal touch.
Glow Sticks & Cold Sparks
If you’re looking for something bold and modern, glow sticks and cold spark machines light up the night in a big way. Guests love the energy of waving glow sticks as the music plays, and cold sparks add an unforgettable “wow” factor to your exit photos.
A Personalized Touch
Some couples choose unique send-offs that represent their personalities—like waving custom flags, ringing bells, or even departing in a vintage getaway car. Whatever your vision may be, The Gardens provides the space and flexibility to make your farewell as special as the rest of your celebration.
Your wedding day deserves a grand finale! At The Gardens at Old Town Helotes, we’ll help you plan a send-off tradition that fits your style and leaves a lasting impression on you and your guests.
