2616 Commerce Event Center

ecoration was beautiful. They really help make everything less stressful for you. We had an amazing and fun wedding! Highly recommended!

nths for us to arrange the details. Needless to say, we depended heavily on Jill and Lisa to answer our questions and provide direction. I could not have been more pleased with the process or its outcome of the evening. The day of the event was very well planned and executed by them and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend 2616 Commerce for your event. Hopefully, we will return in the near future to treat our members with another special evening.

and, catering, and brought our own alcohol- our caterer provided bartenders, who were incredibly nice. I highly recommend the space! However, you will have to deal with the planners, who can be frustrating. Our contact gave little advice/suggestions throughout the process, never seemed to be giving us her full (or even half) attention, never remembered what we had talked about in planning meetings, rarely took notes, was slow to respond to emails/calls, never even brought a pen to meetings and left with mine 3 times!! That being said, if you are okay with making your own decisions and following up to ensure follow through on the other end, the venue is TOTALLY worth it!! We did more of a DIY, so it wasn't a problem for us, just frustrating at times. But the space was ready for us and clean on time the day of. We did have to request some changes because they had the wrong tables set out for designated things, like the sweetheart table and the gift table. But, again, I could not have been happier than I was dancing on the deck with my guests to my favorite musicians, with downtown Dallas as the backdrop.

work with. The single hiccup we had was with the parking. If you decide to pay for the lot, make sure you understand the terms. Although we had some issues with the parking, Lisa made it right and we would absolutely recommend the venue to anyone.

h how beautiful the space is and it was totally "us". I hope we get to return here for another event!

t. Staff helps with all the little details, even the stuff you don't think of. Email or call Lisa for an appointment. You will not be disappointed.

tour it, I knew right away I wanted my wedding at this place. One of the good things about this place is it comes with over half of your decorations, such as center pieces, table cloths, runners, etc. What you in vision Lisa and her staff will make it happen. Love this place. Also whenever you rent this place you have it all day, which is a big plus compared to other places. I will recommend this place to anyone who is having any kind of wedding, party, etc.

pectations. She took it upon herself to communicate with all our vendors to make sure everything was in order even if they were not on her vendor list. I only have one thing I was a bit concerned with during the planning process with Lisa. At times it would be difficult to get in contact with her if I wanted to reach her. But once the time came to make sure everything was in order she was definitely on her A game. All in all 2616 commerce was a great experience, I would refer them in a minute and would definitely think of having another event held at this location.

I would recommend this to anyone!

we needed was in place. She coordinated with our outside vendors (decorators, caterer, DJ, etc) so that everyone knew when they could access the venue and where they could setup. She and her staff exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend this venue. It's a very flexible space with moveable furniture (including the bar) and my decorators called it an open canvas with the ability to be converted into whatever theme or look you want. THANK YOU, Lisa and the 2616 Event Staff...we look forward having another event at your location!!

o new managers at 2616 Commerce did an amazing job of coordinating with our caterers and vendors to get our date moved on such short notice. They also did all of our décor and helped coordinate everything the day of our wedding. The venue was gorgeous and set up exactly how we wanted it. If you are looking for a wedding venue you should definitely check out 2616 Commerce Event Center. They are very flexible there, allow you to use any caterer you want and bring your own alcohol!

o much easier for the wedding, I definately would reccomend this venue to anyone that asks!!!!!

r wedding planners. It took all of the stress away from planning such a big event. The event manager, Lisa, is very thorough She spent lots of time with us and thinks of things you probably haven't thought of. She met with me several times and we had many phone conversations while planning the wedding. I was very nervous and always felt better after talking to her. Everything turned out perfect. The reception was beautiful and the guests were all pleased. Several complimented me on how helpful the staff was. I rate this place 5 stars and highly recommend it.

r so our guests could mingle and have a drink while we finished taking pictures and then the reception on the first floor. Our event manager realy helped us get alll the last minute things together that day which took alot of stress off of us. I would definately recommend this venue to other brides.

one by phone. I sent an email asking what happened with our appointment. I did not recieve an email response or a return phone call. Seems to me they are very unreliable.

staff is disorganized, irresponsible, non-responsive, they even no-showed us for our final planning meeting that I confirmed twice in the week leading up to it.......I could go on and on. Randy- I believe he is the owner, will give you every excuse in the book for why nothing is done correctly. They are unable to keep event staff on hand, as we quickly found out in the initial planning stages when one quit and another quit returning our calls/emails altogether. Her name was Karmen Pannell- I believe she is a private wedding planner in DFW area. I would not use her though, very unresponsive- also lots of excuses for why she is always so unavailable. 1) When we arrived for our wedding ceremony, not one table, chair, aisle, or bar had been set up. Our wedding party plus husbands/wives had to scramble around like madmen to set it all up ourselves in a very short period of time. We were told by the venue staff that this would all be done the night before. However, given their terrible track record so far, we made sure to arrive early in case there was a problem. Our hair and make-up was basically destroyed due to all the manual labor we had to do to set up. So much for a relaxing start to your wedding day! 2) The venue staff told us that 150 parking spots would be provided free of charge. As our wedding party started to arrive, we were asked to pay $5 a car. I'm not sure what happened for the rest of the night as we are about to begin communication with our attorneys regarding several of these issues. Luckily, most of our guests had no idea that anything was wrong once we finally got the ceremony started (late, I might add b/c we had no time to get dressed!). This is not due in any part to the 2616 employees/staff/mgmt. The only thing their event staff did for us that night was set up the dance floor after the ceremony. Some of their staff even came upstairs to take decorative trees from our reception to use in another event going on downstairs!! My understanding is that the other event happening on our date had their fair share of problems too. Overall, I'm in agreement with Roger W. Until there is a new manager or owner, I'd never consider this venue again. It's a real shame because it really is a cool venue.
