Unique Downtown Dallas Venue

Whether you’re having a small affair on a tight budget or a large party at our unique downtown Dallas venue, there’s always at least a little bit of room to splurge in your wedding budget (at least there should be!). We’ve lined up a list of our favorite things that we’ve seen couples splurge on in the past. Take a look!

• Leading up to the big day, splurge on some much needed self-care! It will calm you down and help get tension out of your body. Get a couples massage together, get facials, or even just get a pedicure or two! If you want to go all out, have a full on spa day at the fancy spa that you have always wanted to go to. It will calm your nerves and let you have fun in the process.
• Even if you’re going small of florals, be sure to splurge on the bridal bouquet! Get the bouquet that you have always dreamed of yourself holding as you walk down the aisle. Not only will it be special for your big day, but you can dry it out and hang it up in your home.
• Splurge on alter arrangements! All of your guests and most of your photos will be focused on the alter, so don’t feel like you have to cut corners on this. There are so many beautiful alter ideas that you can find to make your own.
• Lastly, make sure to splurge on your wedding photographer! Photography isn’t cheap, but what’s a little bit more to hire the wedding photographer that you’ve been following on Instagram for six years now? These will be pictures  that you will look back on for years to come together. You will want the best you could have gotten.

DFW Engagement

Are you expecting a DFW engagement in your near future? With engagement comes an engagement party! We have the down-low on everything to make your engagement party the best event that it can be!

• First things first, know when you want to have the party pre-engagement. Some couples like to come to the party right after the proposal, while others like to wait a couple of days. To each their own, just weigh our the pros and cons of each.
• Decide who’s hosting the engagement party right off the bat! Your fiancé? Maybe your best friends? Your parents? Making this decision early on will make it easier in the long run for everyone else to just sit back and enjoy.
• Create the guest list beforehand. Even if you don’t know the day of your engagement/engagement party, communicate with your significant other who you would want there. You don’t want an oversight on a close friend just because your soon-to-be fiancé hasn’t met them and didn’t think of them.
• Make sure that the menu is planned! Luckily for an event like an engagement party, no one expects a full meal. Decide what kind of snacks, hors d’oeuvres, or charcuterie boards you want at your engagement party! Do you love cheese, crackers, and olives? Go for the charcuterie board! Once its set up, there’s nothing else to worry about. If you want something closer to a meal, go for multiple hors d’oeuvres for guests to choose from.
• Most importantly, have fun! It’s a party celebrating you and your new engagement! Don’t let the small details worry you long the way and especially not during the party. Enjoy yourself, it is the first celebration of you and your new fiancé.

Once you’re done celebrating, be sure to check out our venue & contact us with any questions about your future wedding!

Downtown Dallas Venue

Are you wondering what you need on your website for your wedding at our downtown Dallas venue? Wedding websites are the new normal. Whether you use them for guests to RSVP for all of the events, or just for the information that guests need and want, they are a staple. What really needs to be on your wedding website, though? We’re here to let you know everything that you need to add to your site!

• Photos – Make sure to add all of your favorite engagement photos to your website! Everyone wants to look through them, so don’t feel like you should only add a couple. You can also add a “through the years” photo section. This would document your whole journey together in photos.
• Most wedding websites include an optional countdown page. Use it! It adds to the website and the excitement. At the very least, your own excitement of seeing a countdown.
• Stories – Everyone wants to know all of the stories; how you met, the proposal, and everything in between. Rather than having to answer all of those questions to each guest on the day of, add them to your website! You can even have the story of how you met be through both of your eyes rather than a one off general story.
• Travel Info – Include where to stay, especially if you have blocks of rooms reserved in a hotel. You can add a section to let guests know how to get around, whether that be through Uber or public transportation. You can also include what to do around Dallas for your guests! Let them know your favorite places to hang out and eat while they’re in town.
• Lastly, add your weekend’s schedule to the website! There’s multiple websites that you can create multiple events, so add anything from your rehearsal to your ceremony to a farewell brunch to the site!
