Sweet 16 Parties

Sweet 16 Parties at Gardens at Old Town

Celebrate Your Sweet 16 in Style

A Sweet 16 is more than just a birthday—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime milestone that deserves a celebration as unique as your teen. At The Gardens at Old Town Helotes, just minutes from San Antonio, we provide a venue that feels magical from the moment guests arrive. With Hill Country charm and a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, you’ll find the perfect backdrop for a night your family and friends will never forget.

Picture a formal dinner indoors with elegant table settings, followed by dancing beneath oak trees strung with twinkle lights. Or imagine a relaxed evening outdoors, complete with music on the dance deck and photos by the koi pond and waterfall. Our venue adapts to your vision, whether the birthday girl wants a sophisticated soirée, a fun-filled party, or a blend of both. The Gardens offers the beauty, flexibility, and thoughtful service to ensure every Sweet 16 is a truly unforgettable experience.

What’s Included?

From sparkling dinners to nights filled with dancing, The Gardens at Old Town Helotes is the perfect place to celebrate a Sweet 16 surrounded by family and friends. With both indoor and outdoor spaces that adapt to your style, you can plan an elegant sit-down meal, a lively party under the oak trees and twinkle lights, or a mix of both for a celebration that feels unforgettable.
