Jefferson Tower Events Reviews

I cannot say enough good things about this venue and our wedding. They were flexible, accommodating, and answered all of my questions in a timely manner leading up to the event. The space is beautiful, and our guests enjoyed the food. The view of downtown was amazing, and the suites were so well decorated. I loved this venue and couldn’t imagine having our wedding at any other venue. I will be recommending this place to any friends getting married in hopes that I can go to a wedding there again.

We had our wedding reception at Jefferson Tower Events on October 25, 2017. It was the most beautiful night and everyone loved our venue! The staff was so friendly, easy to work with, and made the whole process so easy! Elizabeth Gonzalez was our contact and she answered all the questions we had throughout the planning process. We were lucky, Jefferson Tower Events was a one stop shop. We used their florist, Silka. Silka made this AMAZING flower ladder that hung from the ceiling and it was dripping fall flowers. It was beyond beautiful. Our caterer was the venue and it was the best mexican food. We had mexican casserole, chips and salsa, beans, rice, and a quesadilla station. We used their caterer to do our cupcakes as well....some of the BEST tasting cupcakes ever. I can't recommend this venue enough. It was a dream. I wish the night had lasted so much longer...it flew by!

We loved having our wedding at Jefferson Tower Events! For the price, I don't think there's a better venue in dallas. It's very reasonable and they include a lot in their packages. Also, their menu is reasonably priced.

It was an absolutely gorgeous venue with a beautiful skyline view at night. We served chicken fajitas and everyone said the food was delicious and wouldn't have picked anything better! We also really liked that everything we needed was included in our rental - chairs, tables, linens and tableware. But another amazing feature is that they have furniture you can rent for the evening, so you don't have to deal with an outside vendor to have farm tables or a seating area!

Everything came together beautifully for our big day and they really delivered!

The only thing that wasn't perfect was the food tasting isn't representative of the quality of food. (I know a different groom who used JTE as their venue as welll, who said the same thing.) Don't let it sway you away or make you nervous. On our big day, the food was great!!!

Jefferson Tower Events was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! The venue looked gorgeous and Elizabeth and Silka Sanchez were so accommodating and helpful during the entire planning process.

There are so many wonderful things to say about this venue!

Pros:
1) ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. The space is gorgeous. The Art Deco style, big windows, space overlooking the Dallas skyline, etc. I cannot say enough about how beautiful it is.
2) Elizabeth, the venue manager, was an absolute gem from beginning to end, especially with everything involving all the uncertainty surrounding COVID. She graciously answered my many questions, let me defer payment until the last minute in case things shut down, worked with me to create a fun yet safe environment, etc. Thank you Elizabeth!
3) Having a venue that had in-house cake baker, catering, bartenders, florist, all linens/tableware, was AMAZING. It made everything so much less stressful... and all of the in-house vendors are very good at their jobs. Which brings me to
4) The food was 11/10 delicious. Maybe I am biased in saying its the best wedding food I've had, but many of my guests told me the same unprompted. It is so good!
5) The prices can't be beat! I would have expected it to be twice what I paid. Obviously, a huge reason to use this venue.

Cons:
1) This is small, but made our wedding look so tacky. We had pre-paid a certain amount of the bar so our guests would have an open bar. For some reason, the venue had a big tablet on the guest side of the car (where the bartenders couldn't even see it, so why was it there?) with a countdown of how much money had been spent on alcohol throughout the evening. I didn't notice it or else I would have asked them to remove, but I woke up the morning after my wedding to multiple social media posts from my friends pointing it out. It looked just so tacky.
2). The flowers. This is a hard one. The in-house florist is clearly very talented at her work, which was why I hired her. I am a big fan of letting professionals do what they do best, so I gave her total creative freedom with just three requests - no roses, a cascading bouquet for the bride, and a blush/burgundy color scheme. We had multiple in-person meetings to discuss this. The day of the wedding, she delivered a set of stunningly beautiful bouquets/boutonnieres. However, each one contained roses, the bride's bouquet was not cascading, and the color scheme was white/purple. I have no idea what happened and was very disappointed. The only saving grace was that they were absolutely beautiful. So... I guess I would recommend her but be sure she is actually listening to what you're asking for.
3) Size. This isn't really a "con" if you know in advance, but they market as a 175 person venue. We had less than 90 guests and it was packed full. I wouldn't have more than 100 people there.

Overall.... I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a beautiful venue for a smaller guest list. Just be aware you will need to stay on top of communication, but thats not a huge deal given all the good things that you get.
