    Dream Wedding at The Lasker Inn!!

    Our wedding was an absolute dream from start to finish! First of all, Richard was a breeze to work with. He had everything covered, from the flowers, the cake, the DJ, the table decorations, and every little detail you could imagine. He supplied cake cutters, special Mr. and Mrs. champagne glasses, the gift card box, photos of my husband and I placed all over the venue, too many amazing details to list. It was all so spectacular! Richard kept everything moving the day of the wedding, he isn't just the planner, he is also there to ensure that everything is perfect, and everything happens on time. He made sure we ate, and even saved us a box of food to have later. Speaking of the food, it was so delicious! We decided on heavy horderves, and everything came out so fresh and tasty. Plus, the huge charcuterie board was fantastic. The venue (mansion) is breathtaking. There were endless beautiful areas for photo ops inside and out. The decorations inside remind me of a French New Orleans style mansion or an insane boutique hotel, with incredible antique furnishings and gorgeous paintings. The grounds outside are lush with well kept gardens. It felt like a destination wedding when taking photos outside! My favorite part was that we rented all the rooms Fri-Sun for ourselves and our wedding party. Meaning we all got to stay together and celebrate Friday night before the wedding and again Saturday night after the wedding. We made so many amazing memories in that house which will stay with us forever! Not the mention, a delicious breakfast was made for everyone both Saturday and Sunday morning, and we all slept like babies in the most comfortable beds! The rooms are decorated beautifully, and the Bridal Suite is massive with plenty of space for the brides and bridesmaids to get ready. Lastly, Richard's DJ was awesome. He listened to me and played everything I asked him to. We were all dancing the entire reception! Again, our wedding weekend was such a dream come true! It wasn't just a day, the whole weekend was magical!

    My husband and I got married at The Lasker in 2020. Before we even finished our weekend, we had decided that we wanted to have our 5-year anniversary party in the same spot! When he says he’ll care of everything, he absolutely means it… Richard is one of a kind! We brought 12 friends down to Galveston and rented the house for the entire weekend… Our crew was absolutely blown away by how much attention to detail was put into every aspect of their stay. Each of the rooms has such a distinct personality, and the charm of the old house is put on full display to shine through. Richard checked in with us a few times during the evening to make sure we had everything we needed. On Saturday morning, breakfast was served and WOW—Logan knows his way around the kitchen. Our friends were so impressed with the food and even requested the recipes of a few items. When we slipped out to enjoy the Strand for a few hours that afternoon, Richard and his team refreshed our rooms. We decided to host a dinner with more guests Saturday evening to celebrate 5 years, and that went off without a hitch. Cocktail hour with the famous Lasker charcuterie board was enjoyed by all, and the barbecue spread for our main course was absolutely delicious! As an added treat, Richard had a miniature version of our original wedding cake for guests to enjoy. It was a hit! Sunday morning breakfast was just as delicious as Saturday’s… Logan’s famous hangover hash was gobbled up, and the yogurt parfaits hit the spot. We can’t say enough about how much we love The Lasker, Richard, and his entire team… Their goal is to make every stay memorable, no matter the occasion, and they flawlessly execute every time.

    We came back for another stay at the Lasker Inn because we had such a wonderful trip the first time. There is a reason why the Lasker Inn has won so many awards. It’s an exceptional and magical place that captures the history, charm, and hospitality in Galveston all in one place.

    3 years had gone by since our first visit and Lasker Inn is still as amazing as our first visit. The rooms are spacious and clean. The level of hospitality is mind blowing. Richard thinks of every detail from amenities to snacks to robes. He doesn’t miss a beat. There are so many thoughtful touches in the room and throughout the inn.

    My husband particularly enjoyed the playing the piano in the parlor. It was a wonderful way to unwind after exploring Galveston.

    Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Lasker Inn’s chef, Logan, whipped up an impressive spread of dishes. There was a great balance of savory and sweet items to choose from. We felt beyond pampered!

    The location of Lasker Inn is fantastic too. It’s centrally located and a convenient base to explore Galveston.

    I highly recommend staying at the Lasker Inn. We can’t wait to go back!

    Absolutely gorgeous venue and amazing staff! Richard went above and beyond in everything! He didn’t mind that my children were being children and was amazing at redirecting them before meltdowns occurred! It’s very rare you find a place that’s accommodates EVERYONE in your family but this place did just that. A home away from home and we can’t wait to return!

    The Lasker Inn is a beautiful place. The host was very friendly. We lucked out and had the whole house to ourselves. We were encouraged to explore the house and take advantage of all ofnthe amenities. The gourmet breakfast was one of the best I've had in a while. I would deffinitely recommend.

    A Memorable Stay at The Lasker Inn

    We only stayed one night, but The Lasker Inn made a lasting impression. The home is full of historic charm and thoughtful touches. Our room was beautifully appointed, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had everything we might have forgotten to pack — such a thoughtful detail. We also appreciated the help-yourself bar, coffee, and snack area.

    Richard Conner was our host, and he was incredibly helpful, gracious, and kind. He gave us insightful tips about Galveston and shared great local recommendations. His hospitality really stood out.

    Breakfast, prepared by Chef Logan, was delicious and beautifully presented — a highlight of our stay.

    We felt truly welcomed and relaxed. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend The Lasker Inn to anyone visiting Galveston.

    We had our wedding on May 17 2025 and haven’t stopped talking about how perfect it was. This historical venue was beautifully decorated, the garden is perfect for outdoor events and there’s so many unique photo opportunities all over the property. We planned this wedding from about 6 hours away and Richard made it so easy. I was thrilled to have found an inclusive venue with great reviews, but I found so much more. We found the best bed and breakfast on the island, an incredible wedding experience, and the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

    The Lasker Inn never disappoints! The staff never disappoints! The beds never disappoint! The porches never disappoint! The meals never disappoint!

    This beautiful historic bed and breakfast is like home away from home. The minute you walk in the door the host and staff make you feel like family.

    Each bedroom is decorated with the style of the period. Gorgeous antiques overlook beautiful porches for lounging and enjoying the view.

    The beds and pillows are the best! So comfortable and luxurious. You will sleep like a baby!

    This venue offers accommodations for one or a group. My recent stay was with a group of 10 friends. We lounged in the beautiful parlor, ate in luxury and were served by a wonderful staff.

    You won’t find a better stay! Richard and his team go out of their way to make you feel at home.

    You won’t be disappointed!

    Hosted our wedding at the Lasker Inn this past weekend. AMAZING venue with an even more amazing coordinator and staff. Richard took any stress away with his amazing planning. The venue truly does do it all! Coordinated vendors who worked together and were all amazing. DJ Joseph Fusilier and Cakes by Jula and La Moda Salon were all amazing. The rooms were spacious and beautiful- plenty of space for our 14 person bridal party. Richard did the florals and set up the whole house with our photos and colors. Breakfast in the morning was amazing- in house chef is amazing and super accommodating to food allergies - shout out to Logan! Beautiful house super close to everything there is to do, walking distance to beach, and again an AMAZING owner. Cannot recommend the Lasker Inn enough for your big day!

    The Lasker Inn was the perfect weekend getaway. This charming bed and breakfast offered a nice blend of luxury and hominess. The interior was eye candy and the staff was phenomenal! Richard is the host with the most; he makes sure you have everything you need. I was very impressed with the breakfast spread as the chef came out to let us know what he prepared and it was delicious! The location is perfect too as it's not in a busy area, yet it's still close enough to walk to the beach. I can't say much more but to experience it yourself!
