34 Events & Catering

E pasta and their Pink Pasta is to die for! We got so many compliments from our guests about the food. Working with Alex, the owner, made our wedding planning SO easy. He was able to turn our big day into the perfect day! We hired Hope, the day of coordinator, to help with decorations and coordinating our year worth of planning in one day, and I couldn’t have done this without her. Between Alex and Hope, this beautiful venue, and the food, our wedding completed the day of our dreams!

s very professional and friendly, and made us feel very comfortable! He was always available and answered all of our questions promptly, although I know I was an annoying bride, he was always very kind and responsive! Alex and his venue comes with many optional vendors, which makes it very easy and stress free! Our venue package came with wedding photography, engagement shoot, catering, photo booth, tables/chairs, table ware, centerpieces, water/tea...etc. It’s an amazing venue, and offers many things to make the planning easier! We had an amazing experience with Alex as our photographer! Highly recommend him as your wedding day photographer, and vendor for your venue!!! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, because they helped make our day much more special!!! I’m forever grateful with Alex and his team!!!

ny cool places to take photos just within a block of the venue! Hope and Alex made our wedding planning process so stress free and easy. The venue provides so much that it makes it easy to plan your wedding and keep everyone on the same page without getting overwhelmed. Alex is a great photographer and helped us make sure we had a variety of poses and backgrounds for our photos. He was very flexible with meeting times for when we did our engagement photos. He has invested so much in this business and he is really easy to work with. I could not have made it through my wedding without Hope!! She is the day of coordinator that works with the venue. She an invaluable resource because she has access to the venue. Since she works with the venue she has seen so many weddings there and can help you decide what works best in that space. She went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed and kept us on track for the timeline. If you want a stress free & flawless wedding, you NEED her! The catering service was AMAZING. Everyone commented on how excellent the food was when I talked to them after the wedding. We had passed appetizers as well as dinner served. The photo booth was a huge hit and everyone I talked to said it was one of their favorite parts since they got to take home the photos. The bar service did an excellent job and everyone was very happy with the drinks that were poured. The colored lights really transformed the room from an elegant dinner to a fun place to dance the night away. If you want a good idea of what your wedding will look like, I recommend watching their videos online or going by the venue on the weekend just to see what the venue looks like with an active event. You can stand outside and see the event without bothering the event. This establishment is an excellent value and is easy to work with. If there is ever a bad review for this establishment it should be taken with a grain of salt because it very likely wrong.

dding guest included them commenting three things - how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was, and how smoothly the day went. Let’s talk about the food quick. At first we were nervous about using an in-house caterer but when we had our food tasting we honestly could not decide on which option to go with because they were all fantastic. It’s really a toss up if I got more compliments on my wedding dress or our food, and believe me my wedding dress was beautiful. Food = 10/10. Also - if you are a bride and you don’t want to have any stress at all on your wedding day - HIRE Hope (the day of wedding coordinator). Our cake didn’t show up to our wedding until about 15 minutes before our ceremony and I didn’t know any differently because Hope just handled it. She was a literal lifesaver. She fed our wedding party while we were getting ready, organized our ceremony, did all of the vendor contacts the week of the wedding, and most importantly she kept me calm. Without Hope I would have felt the wedding day stress and I honestly believe I was able to enjoy my day because she was there to handle everything. Working with Hope and Alex (owner) is a breeze. They are so accommodating and friendly and really care that your big day is everything you wish it to be. Believe me, that’s hard to find in a wedding space around DFW. Thank you, Alex and Hope - we couldn’t have asked for a better venue!

rdable package that included so much of what we needed. It took a lot of stress off of planning from afar. The venue is charming, and Alex is receptive to your ideas for setup, decor, and menu. The day of was great, and our friends and family seemed to really enjoy the venue. One note to mention - It would be helpful to have some kind of event order to help keep track of the nitty gritty details and make sure client and venue are on the same page. Alex also took our wedding photos - we love them! He captured some lovely shots and even brought in a second photographer to help catch different angles and moments.

he wedding. We held 200 comfortably in there having 2 bars, a dance floor, photo booth, and food buffet. Growing up in Plano, it made it special to be in downtown Plano in an historical building. Alex, the owner, was so accommodating, professional, and open to all our ideas. He made planning the reception easy by helping us with all the small things that no one thinks about. The reception would not have been as fabulous as it was without Hope, 34 Events’ DOW coordinator. She went above and beyond in her creativity and her help with everything. She was absolutely 110% worth it and so thoughtful. Again, I can’t say enough amazing things about 34 Events, the actual venue, and the helpful staff. Thank you, Alex, Hope, and the 34 Events staff for making the best day of my life absolutely perfect!

ents met and surpassed our expectations for our wedding!

ion there. A couple months before our wedding we realized we needed a coordinator and that's when Hope stepped in to help. She was worth every penny and we could not have done it without her. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing, she put our minds as ease and took care of everything. She took my very vague vision of how I wanted to venue to look and ran with it. It turned out so beautiful. Our package was for one photographer and a couple days before our wedding Alex said he was going to bring a second shooter along. Our engagement photos were incredible and Alex was fun to shoot with. Both Alex and Hope were extremely accommodating. They also had great recommendations for other vendors which made our decisions and planning much easier. W can't recommend 34 Events enough!

as the best day of my life!! I cannot say enough good things about Alex and his staff. They were so accommodating and flexible with all aspects of wedding planning. They made the process so easy and effortless. My wife and I had the time of our lives. If you want an affordable, effortless, and beautiful place to host your wedding and/or reception, 34Events is the place to have it.

were incredible, as well. It was truly a day we will never forget. Thank you for making our wedding even better than we could ever imagine!!!

ay of coordinator, Hope, and she was amazing! She helped with EVERYTHING and made sure the party was smooth and on track. I seriously could not have done it without her! We also used their in house caterer, and the food was delicious. Not to mention how attentive their servers were! Thank you 34 Events for a wonderful wedding, and thank you Alex and Hope for all your help getting our big day coordinated!

had, and so great to work with. The best thing about 34Events is hard to pinpoint, but for me the all inclusive part was the best for us! They literally take care of everything! We just had to find our DJ, Photographer, Florist, and cake. They took care of set up, clean up, provided the linens, silverware, staff, etc. Alex has his own chef so no need for an outside caterer and the food is incredible! As we got towards the end of the planning we met with Hope, the day of coordinator and although I thought I could run the day on my own, I quickly realized I NEEDED her. She was so warm and accommodating and just someone you need to keep the crazy calm. :) My Husband and I couldn't have had a better wedding and experience and we owe a great deal of that to Alex and Hope. We couldn't have done it without them!

pleased.... couldn't asked for a better venue for our 10 year anniversary!

lex, was very responsive from the beginning and throughout the wedding planning process - he was easy to work with. We used the venue's catering and the food was delicious! The day ran smoothly and the staff was extremely helpful. It is also an affordable venue compared to others we looked at. We had our engagement pictures done by 34 Studio and were very impressed - we can't wait to see our wedding pictures! My husband and I were extremely impressed by 34 Events and highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Dallas area in the near future.

floors, and about 4 pillars in the center of the room that add a sense of separation to the floor plan. Located in the middle of historic downtown Plano – there is plenty of parking and minutes away from several social hangouts, bars & hotels. I had already chosen my DJ, photographer & caterer prior to my visit but Alex was gracious enough to allow outside catering. He offers great pricing for additional services. 34Events is a full-service event center. Alex is extremely accommodating and flexible with plans and services. He communicates on a regular basis and is always available to answer any questions you may have leading up to your event. He is very hands on and always greets you with a smile! Our wedding was on August 20, 2017 & was beyond special and this location complimented our personality, style and created the atmosphere we desired. Thank you Alex!! 34Events was our PERFECT choice. Live, Love, Laugh! Dionne & Raheim #HappilyEverGrider

all vendors/individuals Alex recommended/provided other than the cake and DJ. Alex took our engagement photos at two separate locations and he also took our wedding photos...we loved our engagements but are really excited to see the wedding photos! The catering through Alex was really delicious and there are plenty of options to choose from. Alex and the rest of the staff at 34 Events worked hard the day of - my husband even commented how it seemed like during the wedding Alex was always here or there making sure everything was going smoothly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend 34 Events to anyone looking for a venue for a wedding or another event!

something that went wrong but could not. Wedding was Fantastic. Alex is great to work with,along with his staff. I don't give out 5 Stars often, but will here with no question.

corations. I simply brought in some greenery and votive candles to compliment the venue's beautiful chandelier. It was quick, easy to set up and clean up, and it looked gorgeous. Everyone I encountered at 34 Events was professional and courteous. The owner, Alex, is helpful and accommodating. He walked me through all of my options and made great suggestions on what would work best for my needs. I selected an all-inclusive package for my wedding which included a full day rental, food for 100 people (including passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and a full buffet dinner), photo booth, tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, lanterns, and so much more. Bartenders, wait staff, and multiple photographers were also included. I literally only had to arrange the cake delivery and schedule the band, every other service was taken care of. When we went to the menu tasting we were presented with entree and side options and we had a hard time picking because everything was delicious! My now husband cleaned every plate they brought us and happily did so again when the food was just as tasty the night of our wedding. A great option at this venue is BYOB. Alex allowed us access to the venue the night before to drop off an assortment of beverages and from there the bartenders made it happen. Also included in our package was an engagement photo shoot. The photos turned out beautifully and were displayed on a big screen TV at our wedding. We are anxiously awaiting our wedding photos because we know they will be just as perfect. Everything said and done, if I could go back in time and relive the day, I'd choose 34 Events all over again. Thank you for making our day better than we could have hoped!

and he is so accommodating and helpful. He answered all our questions so promptly and was available for anything we needed. We used the caterer that Alex provided. The food tasting was wonderful, he was so attentive and made sure to talk to us about all the food options he had and helped us build our menu. Because we booked all through Alex, he offered us two complimentary hors d'oeuvres, bruschetta and mini quiche, and they were so delicious. They were passed around during cocktail hour. Then for dinner we had chicken marsala, pasta, veggies and mashed potatoes and our guests have not stopped talking about how delicious the food was. We are so glad we did the catering through Alex. Our servers were amazing and so attentive. Alex also provided the bartenders, who were awesome, we had two bars, one bartender at each bar. We also used the photo booth that Alex had with the props he provided. It was set up after dinner and our guests loved it. The photo booth prints out two copies of each photo session, we let our guests keep both copies as Alex provided digital copies of all photos taken throughout the rental period. We had the string light set up in the venue and a beautiful greenery piece that hung over our dance floor that Alex provided and it gave it such a magical look. I wanted a unique layout for our head table and Alex was willing to work with me and made it happen. We had about 220-230 guests attend our wedding and a large crowd dancing, even though the AC was on it felt hot while dancing so Alex brought out fans and it helped so much. It’s things like this that show that Alex was on the lookout to make sure our guests had a great time and were comfortable throughout the night. Since we got married on a Friday and there was no Thursday event, Alex allowed for our wedding planner to begin setup on Thursday. I just cannot say enough good things about how accommodating, helpful, and thoughtful Alex is. I highly recommend 34 Events and Alex, I can 100% say that my wedding was perfect and the venue and the service we received was a huge reason for that.

ed to go for both the ceremony and reception. Alex also did an amazing job for our engagement photos and wedding day photos. He is a great photographer. We received a great package that helped us stay within our tight budget and he was kind enough to throw in a few free upgrades which we really appreciated. The food was delicious and the staff on hand were polite and efficient. Our wedding day was perfect and we have Alex to thank for that!

me), Alex provided tremendous value for the services we received in our package. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host an event in the area.

th feedback after the event was 5 star. We were married at a church off the toll road in Dallas and made the quick drive to 34 events for reception. Alex was able to facilitate with each of our vendors to ensure everyone would have enough time to set up (we brought in a dance floor and huge hanging halo). Any alterations that needed to be made were made in a timely fashion. He is prompt to answer any questions and make sure you are stress free throughout the evening. We also used their videographer and are set to receive our video this week. I am so excited to see how it turned out!

much to make it look nice! Working with Alex was really easy and his staff was fantastic. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great, turn-key venue!

ed everything from food to photography and videography. He took our engagements, bridal, and first look photos. He guided us through the layout of the wedding. He and his staff are amazing and very professional. The venue itself has beautiful wooden floors, brick walls, and two huge windows that bring in natural light. They are located in downtown Plano, which has many hotels around the area hat provide transportation for you and your guest. It is a historic area with plenty of parks near by for pictures. We had both our ceremony and reception there and the transition went without notice. They made our wedding everything we dreamt and made it run as smoothly as possible. I am very happy with our choice and will highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a venue.

oordinating our wedding. We paid a total of $8,000 out of $12,000 starting on 6/20/15 for a wedding planned for 11/21/2015. The picture we were painted was totally different than what we experienced from the time we paid until the time we decided to cancel which was in mid August 2015. When we agreed to have our wedding here, the building was still under renovation, so we had only thus far seen an empty building and only pictures of what it would look like. We were told that beginning of July the place would be ready and that we could then have a tour. That never happened. In fact, no one contacted us regarding our wedding the WHOLE of July. Being that it was less than 6 months away I began to become anxious. Yet we continued paying on faith which was a risk we didn't want to continue to take. Finally in mid August I decided to reach out, HELLO? To find out what was going on and ask many questions, one mainly being touring the finished product. Hanna responded back the next day starting her email off with "Sorry for the delayed response, we were at a destination wedding in Chicago". I got a strong implication of unimportance. We decided to cancel the wedding and with our signed contracts stating that there would be a FULL refund if the event was canceled at least 90 days in advance, I thought there would not be an issue getting our money returned. His assistant did all of the writing back and forth via email the whole time, first trying to issue an "in house credit" then down right refusing when it was clearly written in the contract we signed that a full refund would be issued and we clearly canceled at least 90 days in advance in writing. Not one call by the way. They did absolutely nothing towards our wedding yet wanted to keep $8,000 ? So, we hired a lawyer to review and write a demand letter via certified mail. No response from that. Next we, filed suit in Collin County court and the Judge Paul Raleeh quickly ruled in our favor (less than 15 minutes after hearing us and Alex speak) after reviewing the contract and our case. The judge demanded for Alex to return a total of $8,116.00 (including court fees) back within 21 business days from when we went to court which was on 5/2/16. It is now 12/29/16 and we have yet to receive our money back. And according to these reviews, he has had several weddings so he has had an ample opportunity to return our money but still has not. It is stressful, I wish he would just return our money so we can all move on. I am happy for the brides and grooms whom had a successful wedding at this place. If only I had experienced the same, I would have probably been leaving a good review as well. I hate drama and that's why its taken a while to even leave a review. Because it upsets me and I don't want to feel that way.But this is getting ridiculous now. Alex, you need to return our money, the amount you took from us is too much to just let go. You were ordered by a judge to return our money! For anyone considering this place for their wedding, read the contract very well. Also pray nothing goes wrong during the time leading up to your date because if you decide to cancel you probably won't be getting any of your money back, even if the contract says you will.

ckdrops and captured forever pics. The dinner was wonderful, we had the lamb and chick parm, very delicious. Hands down a great experience. If you are planning your day, the area is awesome for parking, getting to and from with ease, late night bars and restaurants if your group wants to keep things going and hotels all near by. You can't go wrong. Thank you again Alex -Kimberly and Ali

king the event was stress free as possible for me. He bends over backwards to make sure it fits what i want my day to be like, and nothing i ask has been too much. I am incredibly confident in him, he has made everything about planning so easy for me, and he is worth WAY more than he's asking. Thank you so much Alex for the wedding of my dreams and for being so involved!

he made sure we still got value for what we paid, despite it not being contractually required. He also provided excellent deals when booking the venue and him for photography. The kind of insight a world-class photographer brings when putting together an exceptional reception venue makes all the difference... and on top of that, almost every time we saw Alex at the venue (aside from our special day) he was the one with working gloves on doing something to improve his venue - it's just a perfect reflection of his dedication and character to not be afraid to get dirty and get things done. The food his caterer provided was also unbelievably delicious. My husband is honestly one of the pickiest eaters in the world and he loved everything they served us. We got the chicken cordon bleu and when we had the same dish on our honeymoon at a fancy restaurant, it didn't even come close to being as well prepared. Our event was beyond special and exactly matched the style and atmosphere we wanted. You won't regret choosing 34 Events.

Alex is extremely accommodating and flexible with plans, and he really seems to care that everything is exactly how we'd like. He was also our photographer and an extremely talented one at that. We couldn't be happier for how things turned out. For the price, the ease of using in house services that were spectacular, and the flexibility that we desired, I don't think we could have found a better venue.

cé and I were first impressed with the venue when we noticed how beautiful the brick walls and hardwood floor were on in the inside. We knew we wanted to book when Alex and his co-owner Hannah sat down with us and did all in their power to make sure we got everything we wanted within a budget we were comfortable spending. On our actual wedding day he made sure everything went smoothly. Even a couple of our guests noticed Alex helped out with things that you typically wouldn't see a photographer do. They noticed he'd check in with the catering and bartending staff to make sure they were accommodating our needs. We also noticed him playing with some of the children at our wedding to capture candid moments that we are sure we'll love years down the line. Not only did he make guests feel comfortable but he also followed up with our second photographer to make sure we got all of the pictures we wanted to remember our special moment. Finally, we used the catering that is offered through use of the site. At first we were nervous about using the venue's catering. These fears disappeared once we went to a tasting. The chef Alex works with is phenomenal. We had several guests ask us who did our catering because the food was seasoned so well. My fiancé and I didn't get a chance to really eat at our actual wedding so we ate the food the next day. The food was still delicious served cold! If you are on the fence about booking 34 Events know that all of your needs will be met within a price that's not obscene. Not only will your needs be met but you'll smile about your special day for years to come!

wonderful. We sat down and told them what we wanted and they were both willing to do whatever they could to make it happen! Our wedding isn't till October however Alex and Hannah have been very helpful with finding catering, djs, photography, cake, decor.... Almost anything and everything we need for our special day! It has made this wedding planning process so much easier. They are very approachable and easy to talk too. Alex is a very talented photographer, who has a lot of experience with weddings so he built this unique venue with the knowledge of how a wedding should be. The venue is in the middle of downtown Plano, such a cute and historic area. It has brick walls and beautiful hard wood floors. It's the perfect place to have your wedding. Afterwards your guest can walk outside and go to the bars or take the dart to their hotel. I am very excited to have our wedding at 34 Events, for a new venue they know what their doing!:)

the perfect character and eliminate the need to try and transform the space with decorations. It truly is a beautiful space. (It has been open only a few weeks and has had 3-4 events already.) I have yet to sign a contract but 34 Events is my favorite venue that my fiance and I have visited so far, and I love supporting new businesses that have everything together. Needless to say, I am looking forward to my wedding and everything that comes with it with 34 Events!

he find vendors that complimented my wedding, he was able to bring the amount down drastically and I ended up saving hundreds of dollars! We ended up booking my event space, photography, videography, and photo booth at a discounted price due to booking before 34Events initial opening. Alex gave me a tour of the event space and I was able to experience the upcoming process of the business. I am so excited that I have ironed all of the wrinkles out early and that I have an amazing team working on my side to make my day magical!
