City Orchard was founded by the serendipitous meeting of three like-minded Houstonians. Our objective is simple; create the best ciders from the best ingredients in a welcoming environment. With family-owned farms along the shores of Lake Ontario, City Orchard taps deep into the roots of Great Lakes Apple Country. We bring the heritage of our cider culture and orchards to our favorite city. We press carefully selected apples on the farm, truck the juice to Houston, and produce traditional ciders in an urban setting – we are an orchard in the city. A little unorthodox – but this is Texas. We manage the process from tree to glass. Real Apples, Real Cider.

Just south of Spring, where the pines thicken and city noise falls away, Ashton Gardens North Houston makes its case as a glass-walled event venue built entirely around light. The open-beam stone chapel is walled in windows, so the surrounding forest becomes part of any ceremony or program rather than a backdrop glimpsed from inside, with towering twin mahogany doors setting a dramatic entrance to the raised altar. That same light carries into the reception, where a winding staircase gives every entrance a little theater on the way down to the expansive Chandelier Ballroom. There, elegant Austrian crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow above the room while floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with sunlight, creating a versatile backdrop for everything from formal galas to lively evening celebrations. Outside, garden-lined paths wander past a quiet stream and a vine-draped courtyard, offering more photo and event backdrops than a single afternoon can use. Generously proportioned suites provide flexible space for hosts, VIPs, or getting-ready needs, ensuring the morning-of unfolds without anyone feeling rushed or cramped. With room for up to 200 guests, full-service catering and beverage packages, and a curated network of in-house and preferred vendors, Ashton Gardens North Houston offers a serene, light-filled setting built for scale, whether hosting a wedding, corporate event, or milestone celebration.
