Birthday & Anniversary Parties at Gardens at Old Town

Celebrate Life’s Milestones in Style

The Gardens at Old Town Helotes is a welcoming place to mark life’s biggest milestones. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, a silver or golden anniversary, or simply a night to gather friends and family, our venue offers both indoor and outdoor settings that create a relaxed yet memorable atmosphere. With space for up to 200 guests, you can host everything from a cozy dinner to a lively evening of music and dancing.

Guests can enjoy cocktails on the lawn, dinner in our air-conditioned hall, or an outdoor celebration under the lights and oak trees. The koi pond, waterfall, and landscaped grounds add a touch of charm to every gathering, while flexible layouts let you design the evening to match your style. Our team handles setup and support, so you can focus on enjoying the moment.

While many families choose The Gardens for Sweet 16s and Quinceañeras, our venue is just as popular for adult birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestone celebrations. Whatever the occasion, we provide a setting that feels comfortable, versatile, and ready for your guests to celebrate together.

What’s Included?

From milestone birthdays to golden anniversaries, The Gardens is the perfect place to celebrate with family and friends. With indoor and outdoor areas that adapt to your event style, you can host a formal dinner, a casual gathering, or a night of dancing beneath the stars.
