The city of Alton, Texas, is conveniently located just seven miles northwest of McAllen, so you will have easy access to major shopping centers and attractions.

However, Alton does have some of its own resources to help you with the wedding planning process, including traditional wedding venues, caterers, and wedding florists.

Alton is home to a number of churches, so make sure you check out San Martin De Porres Church, Sharyland Congregation-Jehovah, and Vision Metro Center.

Meanwhile, Sylvia's Creations by Yvonne can put the finishing touch on your wedding decorations with custom ceremony arrangements and reception centerpieces made with seasonal wedding flowers.

Finally, Mary Alice Food & Catering can provide your wedding reception with delicious food for an affordable price.

Alton has several parks for you to enjoy during your free time as well as pavilions available to rent for special occasions, including Josefa Garcia Pavilion, Josefa Garcia Stage, and Sylvia Vela Pavilion.

You could also reserve Sylvia Vela Pool, which is the perfect place to cool down during the hot and humid summer months.

If you want to head into McAllen, popular attractions worth your time include Nuevo Santander Gallery, the McAllen Art House, Quinta Mazatlan, the International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS), and the 17th Street Entertainment District.
