Family Favorite Awards

Y'all. Last night was everything. 🥹✨

On June 17th, we gathered at the absolutely gorgeous La Tranquila Ranch in Tomball for the 2026 Greater NW Houston Family Favorite Awards Networking Reception & Ceremony — and I am still on cloud nine. Walking into that venue and seeing so many incredible local business owners, neighbors, and familiar faces all under one roof? I genuinely could feel the community in that room. It was one of those nights that reminds you exactly why you do what you do, and I am so incredibly blessed to be the person who gets to put something like this together for our corner of NW Houston.

To everyone who was there — THANK YOU. The energy you brought made the entire night feel magical. From the moment doors opened at 6:15 to the very last award being announced, the room was buzzing with excitement, laughter, and so much pride for our local businesses. Watching winners accept their recognition surrounded by the people who voted for them? There truly is nothing like it.

And to everyone who couldn't make it this year — we missed you SO much! 💛 Seriously, the vibe was unmatched and I really wish you could have been there to experience it. We hope to see you next year — because trust me, you don't want to sit this one out again. 😉

This awards program is completely free for businesses to participate in — free to be nominated, free to be voted on, free to be celebrated. Every single winner was chosen by your neighbors: the families of Cypress, Tomball, Spring, and NW Houston who took the time to vote for the businesses they love most. That's what makes these awards mean something real.

This year we had 37 categories across five sections — Food & Dining, Health & Wellness, Kids' Activities & Education, Parties & Entertainment, and Services & Shopping. Nominees represented some of the best locally owned businesses in our seven-zip-code community, and the competition was fierce! Every business that received votes deserves to be recognized — being nominated by your community is no small thing.

A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors who made the night possible:

• 🏡 Venue: La Tranquila Ranch
• 🎤 Sound: Encore Events Houston
• 📸 Photo Booth: Monster Mania
• 📷 Photography: The Wright Captures

And of course, a massive thank you to our food & beverage partners who kept everyone fed and happy all night long: Crust Pizza Bridgeland, Mel's Country Cafe, Nicky's Mini Donuts – Tomball, and Chick-fil-A Gleannloch Village for the most refreshing lemonade and tea bar. 🍕🍩🍋

Now, without further ado — your 2026 Greater NW Houston Family Favorites! 🎉

Congratulations to every single winner — and honestly, to every nominee too. Being nominated by your neighbors means people are paying attention, and that matters. Every business on that list is doing something right, and our community sees it. 💛

Thank you to the thousands of families across Greater NW Houston who took the time to vote. You are the reason this exists. Macaroni KID is free because local businesses like these show up for our community — and we show up right back for them.

We'll see you next year — bigger, louder, and even more fun. 🎊 Save the date!
