The Bell Tower is absolutely stunning and the whole staff made our day perfect. I worked with Damaris as my day of coordinator and venue contact, and she was incredible. I could text her any time and she’d get back to me quickly and made our whole day run seamlessly. The cost is so reasonable and includes so many things in house, so it made planning easy. And the FOOD !! I got so many compliments that it was the best food guests had ever had at a wedding. Thank you thank you to the staff out there for giving us the perfect wedding day!
We had a beautiful experience with the Bell Tower. Kayla was fantastic! She communicated with us frequently and helped us make arrangements that were perfect for our wedding. I appreciated Kayla’s flexibility in meeting with us virtually to accommodate our busy schedules. Our event coordinator Damaris also worked closely with Kayla to coordinate every detail. I felt so calm and organized throughout the entire process.
My daughter and son-in-law got married at The Bell Tower on 34th in March 2024. It was a fantastic and beautiful night!! Everything went according to plan, and we received compliments throughout the night and they continue to this day. We especially loved working with our coordinator, Leslie Gonzales! The food was absolutely delicious, and my daughter, son-in-law and family, are so happy to have celebrated this momentous occasion at The Bell Tower on 34th!
Any questions?
The Bell Tower is a hidden gem! Our wedding experience was perfect and that was in large part due to Bell Towers service. We partnered with Lisa (venue Coordinator )who labored to make certain that we had the wedding we envisioned as well as an experience that was as seamless as we expected. Day and night Lisa made herself available so that details were as we instructed. She kept a watchful eye on our wedding requirements throughout the entire process which helped notice potential errors. Lisa was diligent with explaining packaging and made sure that the company delivered on all promises. It was such a huge convenience for the company to offer several on site options to lessen the amount of vendors needed. The venue is stunning which all who attended complimented. It’s like you enter Italy when turning into the driveway. The staff is a well oiled machine. From valet to servers, each person is well aware of their duties yet stay far enough in the background not to be noticeable in order to allow the couple and patrons to be center stage. We are so happy we partnered with Bell Tower. We highly recommend. Give them a call, I’m sure they can accommodate your needs.
The Bell Tower was an incredible venue for our wedding! We chose the waterfall for our ceremony and the chandelier ballroom for our reception and both were absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to work with Damaris who is amazing!!! She was so easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions throughout our planning process. Our day of ran so smoothly because of her and all of the staff there. I cannot thank them enough for how beautifully our wedding ran. Our guests were impressed by the venue, but they also commented on how well run it was. There was no lag in passed appetizers or drinks during our cocktail hour and it seamlessly transitioned into dinner and reception. I cannot thank Damaris enough for making sure we sat down and ate dinner! I didn’t feel any stress throughout the day and just got to enjoy my wedding because the staff made sure everything went smoothly and were so professional and friendly! If I had to choose again, I would pick the Bell Tower in a heartbeat.
Thank you to your wonderful & professional staff for always providing Houston String Music with everything we need when we arrive so that we can easily share our music at your beautiful facility.
In the beginning there was a little bit of a hiccup regarding the timing of the event. One thing that drew me to the venue was that everything was "included" although pay attention to the short overall timing that's included in the packages. When we toured and asked follow up questions about a "buyout" option to allow us to expand our ceremony time, we were quoted a certain price. Long story short, we were misinformed about what that included and that it didn't allow for more wedding time.
I had to take off a star because when we escalated the issue to the manager Jordan she was very rude and attempted to gaslight my family in telling us we were all confused about what we were told and clarified in several conversations. It wasn't until I requested a recording of the phone calls with her that they realized we were right and were accommodating to us adding time (for a price).
The venue, staff, and food were otherwise great and the remainder of the experience was very professional. I would say be aware of the included set up/ceremony time and that it's probably shorter than most included access to the bridal suite. Bell Tower is very seasoned and otherwise a reliable vendor if your read the fine print.

My now husband and I are beyond happy with our choice of Bell Tower for our wedding reception. We worked directly with Damaris De Leon and she was truly amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process and on the actual wedding day. She was responsive and answered all of the many (MANY) questions I had. We are so grateful to Damaris for making the wedding planning and day-of as stress-free as possible. We are particularly appreciative of the fact that on the day of, she made sure everything was running smoothly and as planned so we could just sit back, relax, and enjoy. The Bell Tower itself is also a beautiful reception venue. We chose the Contessa ballroom and it was a dream. All of the décor, flowers, etc. looked exactly as we envisioned and even better. Our guests were impressed both by the venue itself as well as the appetizers, dinner, and drinks. Thank you SO MUCH, Damaris!!!
This venue and our day of coordinator Lisa did an amazing job keeping us organized and prepared for our wedding day! The venue was gorgeous, the food amazing, and everything turned out perfectly!
Incredible venue! The Bell Tower went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was special. Our guests enjoyed the food and overall ambiance. It truly felt we were in Europe! The Bell Tower made all of my wedding dreams come true and it was the perfect day!
Amazing venue! Multiple ballrooms to choose from or combine for your special night. Our wedding coordinator appointed by the venue, Lisa, was incredible. Couldn’t have done it without her. The food and drink packages were stellar. And the in house DJ, eTrey was so great to work with too. My bride and I could not have been more happy about our wedding night.
My husband and I had our wedding at the Bell Tower and we have absolutely nothing bad to say about our event!! Our wedding planner was Damaris and she was great. She was very organized and on the day of there was not a single thing that went off beat. She was true to our timeline and even ensured we had our bags packed in our getaway car. As for the event space, I truly believe it’s the most beautiful venue in houston! Food was 10/10!! Drinks were so good, nobody had to wait in long lines for anything. They coordinated with our vendors wonderfully. Thank you for a PERFECT WEDDING DAY!!!
The Bell Tower delivered!! Everything went perfectly. The in-house catering was excellent. Lisa was our coordinator and she was incredible! She took the stress out of planning a wedding and made our day so special. Wish I could get married at the Bell Tower again!
From beginning to end I have nothing bad to say about my experience with the Bell Tower. We signed a year in advance with Brooklyn for our wedding. We ended up working with Damaris and it was such a pleasure. She answered all my questions and had great insight into planning the perfect day. The food tasting was amazing and we were really blown away on the wedding day how hot the food was and it was so good! We opted for the seated dinner and it was everything I wanted. Everyone was served at the same time and all the food was hot. This gave my husband and I a chance to sit and eat and enjoy ourselves. All the service we received was fantastic! From the attendants in the bridal suite and grooms suite to the servers and bar tenders. Damaris really made sure the day went off without a hitch and I couldnt be more grateful. The Bell Tower is stunning on its own and was great for my vision.
Worst experience in my life! Yes, this place is beautiful and the service was acceptable UNTIL the rehearsal. My wedding party came from different parts of the world with delayed flights. My coordinator, Lisa made them feel so uncomfortable. She kept saying "rehearsal is 30 minutes!" I'm not sure how this is even possible, especially working with kids. Moving on to wedding day. Everything was extremely micromanage. It came time for the ceremony. The ladies realized we didn't have our bouquets while I was getting dressed. I told the employees exactly where they were. We were told, we didn't have time to (walk in ONE ROOM) to get MY BOUQUETS! Are you kidding me? I refused to come out. Later someone came into the bridal suite and said "we found one, which was mine." All bouquets were together, including the men's. They refused to listen, stating we were 10 minutes behind. WHO CARES? THE CEREMONY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT! Take time away from the reception. I was concerned about the day being rushed from the beginning and Lisa assured me, it would not be a problem. So concerned, I'd call to cancel and was told not to worry. This place also only allows 2 hours to set up for decorations, so unless youre 100% sure everything will run PERFECTLY, don't don't plan on having your dream wedding, unless you want to give them more $$$$ for additional time for decorations. Most venues allow access the morning before the wedding for setup. Long story short, my wedding party walked without bouquets. They found baby breath scraps that were left over from decorations and threw them in our bridal suite and said "here, let's go!" I spent thousands of dollars on flowers and were unable to use them. After the ceremony, I went directly to the bouquets in the exact place I said they were. Wedding photos ruined! Thanks Bell Tower!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2023
Dear Doncy,
First and foremost, thank you for selecting The Bell Tower on 34th as the venue for your special day. We deeply regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we highly value your feedback.
We offer various booking ...
options and typically recommend that clients only book the amount of time they truly need, particularly when working with professional vendors. “All day options are available, but don’t pay for all day unless you need it.” If this was not clearly re-communicated, we sincerely apologize.
About the rehearsal, it started 45 minutes to an hour later than planned because we were waiting for missing participants. While our standard agreement does allocate 30 minutes for the rehearsal, we aim to be flexible within the context of our scheduling.
On your wedding day, our security camera system noted that you and your makeup and décor supplies arrived later than the contracted load in time. Additionally, one of your own décor members shared with a Bell Tower employee that the bouquets had been accidentally disassembled and used for the altar arrangements. While we don’t manage décor, we can’t emphasize enough the importance of using professional vendors to ensure a seamless event.
We also learned after the fact that your invitations likely advised guests to arrive earlier than the contracted start time, which we strongly caution against due to obvious timing and scheduling conflicts related to operational scheduling as well as overall guest experience.
Interestingly, at the end of your event, our cameras confirmed a conversation between you and your Event Producer, Lisa, in which you mentioned that you never found the missing bouquets. It’s unclear what changed after that discussion, especially given that the bouquets had been taken apart by your people who were decorating and incorporated the floral into the altar design.
Despite these challenges, you and the wedding were beautiful and the feedback we received from your guests and the pastor was overwhelmingly positive. We did our utmost to ensure your day was as smooth as possible under the circumstances.
Our goal at The Bell Tower on 34th is to deliver excellent events here in Houston. We are genuinely sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced.
Warm regards,
The Bell Tower on 34th Team
Our experience with the Bell Tower was perfect! To start, the venue is absolutely beautiful. It looks exactly like the pictures (if not better). I hardly bought any decorations and kept the floral to a minimum because we didn’t need it. They also had a lot of add-ons available that were reasonably priced. The Photo Booth was a huge hit at our wedding. The food was yummy! We received a lot of compliments from our guests on food as well. The online portal made payments and planning super easy. I also have to give a huge compliment to Damaris, our venue coordinator. She was so organized, easy to work with, and patient with questions when we probably asked her the same thing a million times. I don’t believe a single thing went wrong on our wedding day thanks to her. Although it is not the most budget-friendly venue, the experience and service we received matched the value. If we had to do it all over again, we would still choose the Bell Tower. Thank you to everyone at the Bell Tower for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
The most beautiful venue in the city of Houston, hands down. Went with this vendor because they also provide almost everything in house, including a day-of coordinator. I did not have a wedding planner so that was crucial for me. My coordinator, Leslie, was a delight to work with and has so much experience, she knew exactly what to do.
the bell tower wedding coordinator was changed few weeks prior to my daughter wedding we were very disappointed that happened since the old coordinator left without myself realizing. when we want to up grade for them to order malbec and rose they charged us full time for the premium bottles ( 96 bottles in total) on top of the gold package my daughter paid for the open bar (I raised the fact that they will save 96 bottles of their house wines they would NOT need to serve instead they are using our premium wines that we have to pay FULL price ) they refused to give us any kind of credit on the gold open bar package we already paid. What can we do except just pay $2500 . They said they will serve their in house wines as a back up in case we run out of premium wines / They recommended for my daughter to order 96 extra bottles of red & rose . They said they will buy the 60 bottles of white we paid for. I don't know who is recommendation for my daughter to essentially replacing their house wines with the extra wines we have to pay and yet not giving us any credit for the house wines that we would not use. it is so unfair and deceptive of them. Bell tower will save 96 bottles of wines that they won't use and will not give us any credit for that. Please please READ your contract carefully, they kept saying " she signed the contract " ... What about fair & deceptive trade act ..
Response from the Vendor on 11/10/2022
Please accept our apology for any misunderstanding. The offset you sought was already built-in to the price of the upgrade. You thanked and complimented the service manager after your daughter’s wedding. The wedding was beautiful.
The Bell Tower was an incredible venue! Inside and out, the aesthetics are so breathtaking and we are so happy that we had our reception there. All of our guests were amazed that this venue was in the heart of Houston. Our advisor, Leslie, was so helpful throughout the whole process. She and all of the staff at the Bell Tower made our experience prior to our wedding and on our wedding day so special.
We used the Carillon ballroom for our reception and The Waterwall and Campanile for our cocktail hour. Upon arrival, our guests were greeted by the staff and their cars were taken by the valet. They then walked over to the Waterwall to enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Because it was a little chilly, guests were also welcome to enjoy cocktail hour inside the Campanile chapel where we had the Mariachi band playing! For our grand entrance, all guests entered the Carillon ballroom through the beautiful large wooden doors and we walked down the breathtaking staircase as we were announced as husband and wife. The food we had selected was delicious and well presented. During speeches, waiters passed champagne to all the guests to make sure they could toast with us! We danced the night away and when it came time for the grand exit, our guests lined up outside of the Carillon ballroom as we walked down the middle towards our getaway car!
I cannot stress how marvelous and easy the Bell Tower made our wedding! It was seamless! We didn't have to worry about valet, alcohol, food, linens, cake cutting, cleaning, waiters, bartenders, photo booth, etc. They took care of all these small details!
Our wedding was on March 12, 2022 with 150 guests.
Our wedding coordinator was Donna Chun and she was the rain maker! She was the best My daughter and now son in law discovered this venue and fell in love with it last summer. It had everything they wanted: an outside wedding space, an indoor (if it rains) wedding space, and a big ballroom for the reception.
Donna helped us with all the details from food to set up and beyond. She simply did an outstanding job! Although our daughter lives in Houston, we live in another state which made things challenging at times.
The Bell Tower on 34th is a beautiful venue and the staff is most helpful I cannot praise Donna Chun and the Bell Tower staff enough for the wonderful wedding and reception on Mach 5, 2022.
I cannot say enough about the exceptional service and amazing wedding that we had at the Bell tower! The place is so beautiful and people couldn’t stop talking about it. Brooklen our event coordinator was a life saver and always went above and beyond to meet every need we had. Thank you for making our wedding the most amazing day of our lives!
I am still in awe of our wedding day! The team at The Bell Tower were so amazing to work with especially our in-house wedding coordinator, Brooklyn. I also hired a third-party wedding planner but they worked so well with her I literally just had to do the fun parts of planning while they took care of everything else! The day-of went so smooth because everything was setup and ready for my vendors to come in and do their thing. The food was beyond tasty and EVERYONE that attended was impressed with the menu! The venue was a dream and we highly recommend touring this venue, they have wonderful options for your big day!
I cannot get over how much we all loved having the wedding at the Bell Tower. Our experience planning there was absolutely magical. Donna, our day of coordinator, may actually be an angel. Our process was so smooth and I felt comfortable asking any and all questions.
They really took the reins on the wedding day and prevented me from any stress. I can't express how grateful I am for that.
Not only is the staff absolutely wonderful, but the venue itself is breathtaking. My guests were in awe.
I wish we could have our wedding every weekend after the experience we had.
The Bell Tower on 34th is the best Wedding Venue in Texas! The Bell Tower on 34th provided the highest level of service from start to finish. Brooklen did a fantastic job every step of our Wedding Planning Process. My Wedding was simply beautiful! The Bell Tower on 34th has an amazing staff and a beautiful Venue! Thank you Brooklen for EVERYTHING!
Thanks again from Lexus!
We absolutely loved our wedding at The Bell Tower on 34th! The entire day/night ran smoothly and beautifully. Damaris was a joy to work with from day one and we were completely stress-free knowing she had everything covered. We will be forever grateful to Damaris for allowing us to fully enjoy our big day! She has incredible attention to detail and made our wedding vision come true, as well as answered a million and one questions along the way. My dress has some very stubborn wrinkles but Damaris saved the day by providing multiple steamers so we could get the job done. Our guests were complimentary of the venue, food, beverages, and service. Huge thanks to Damaris and the entire Bell Tower on 34th team!
If you are even considering Bell Tower for your wedding, just book it!!! It is simply beautiful, elegant, and stunning with so many options to customize to your style of event. Bell Tower is a fine tuned well oiled machine in how to run an event, with every option available to make your event perfect. The best decision I think we made was not only selecting the Bell Tower, but choosing Donna as our coordinator. Donna is THE BEST, and if you have her along the way, there is no doubt every detail will be covered. Early in the process we were actually booked with a different coordinator, but it didn’t feel right and things just weren’t happening as they should. We put in the request to make the change over to Donna and wow….she is not only outstanding at her job, but became a friend. She doesn’t miss a beat, and is willing to share opinions with guidance. The rest of the staff worked crazy hard at the event both in preparation and clean up. Wow, they took care of everything. The food was wonderful as well. There isn’t one thing I can say negative about our experience. The fancy suite is just lovely for the bride and bridesmaids, which leaves two rooms for all of the gentlemen. We had 12 for hair and makeup, and the fancy suite will accommodate that set up. The owner Roger is accessible and is a professional man wanting to provide the best service possible. We had one slight mishap, but Bell Tower handled that with integrity and grace. If you are looking for a magical event, book the Bell Tower with Donna!!!!
We had our wedding here on May 28th. From the start, the Bell Tower was such a pleasure to work with. We initially were working with Myrna (who was great) but got transferred to Damaris as our coordinator due to availability changes. Damaris did a wonderful job! She was always quick to respond to all my questions via text or email and she made sure that everything was squared away for the day of our wedding.
On the day of the wedding, our guests were so impressed with the splendor of the venue and the quality of the food. We got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and everyone loved taking photos in front of the water wall! However, we did have an issue with our seated dinner. The waiters had dropped a tray of food so we had 2 tables that did not receive their food until after cake cutting (about 1.5-2hrs after the rest of the guests). Our guests were too polite to complain so our DJ had to reach out to the waiters to let them know of the delay since it seemed they had totally forgotten about their tables.
After the wedding day, we reached out to Damaris about our concerns and she was so patient with us! We were actually able to get a refund for the inconvenience our guests experienced. We really appreciated Damaris taking the time to address these issues.
Our daughters wedding was here and it exceeded our expectations. Everything was so well planned and organized. The staff was so attentive to not only us as the wedding party but the guests as well. Nothing was left unattended to. Donna, as our wedding planner, from their team was a top notch event coordinator! The grounds are beautiful and the food is excellent!
I am so glad I used the Bell Tower for my wedding venue. Our ceremony was absolutely gorgeous with the water wall in the back. The food was delicious, and the night ran so smoothly. My coordinator, Leslie, is so easy to work with and helped make our day so special! I would recommend their venue and Leslie’s services to anyone!
We were originally scheduled to have our wedding at the Bell tower on 3/21/2020. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our March 2020 wedding at the Bell Tower because of the executive orders put in place by Governor Greg Abbot as the result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Bell Tower gave us an option to postpone our wedding until November 7, 2020. However, we had to cancel the November 2020 date because of a resurgence in coronavirus cases in Houston and across the country at that time. We decided to cancel our wedding indefinitely in August 2020 to adhere to the CDC guidelines, as our guestlist was more than the recommended amount to remain compliant to the CDC COVID protocols.
The Bell Tower has refused to reimburse any of the $11,932.29 that we paid for the event. The owner is selfishly keeping this money without having to render any service. Unlike the owner, We understand that $3,088.50 had to be paid to secure the wedding date. However, $8844.29 has been paid to the Bell Tower with NO consideration. In other words, we paid $8844.29, and the Bell Tower didn't provide us with any wedding or services for that manner.
Per website (federalpay.org/paycheck-…) The venue received $373,200 in government support via the Paycheck Protection Loan as a result of the Coronavirus. To not consider refunding all but the deposit is callous, selfish, unreasonable and morally wrong. I hope that other people who are considering using the Bell Tower on 34th to host their events will strongly reconsider this venue based on how they treated us during a global pandemic that has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and left millions without work in the United States alone. It is in times like this that your character as a business is important.
Response from the Vendor on 09/11/2021
We are sad you did not reschedule like everyone else. We tried our best to work with you. The judge agreed with us. Congratulations on getting married earlier.
The Bell Tower was such an amazing wedding venue!!! The day of our wedding everyone was amazed at how beautiful the venue was, and all the amenities are so lovely. We booked the venue prior to COVID-19, and they were very responsive about rescheduling options if we decided to use it. We ended up having our January wedding and it was beautiful. The staff wore mask, and the food was done in a covid friendly buffet manner. There food was also delicious and was so easy not having to find a separate catering company. It was also the venue I found with the most reasonable bar prices, and the bar included everything! The staff was also so attentive the day of the wedding. My event coordinator, Mayra, did a great job and answered all my questions and made everything super easy. The staff kept asking if I needed anything, and my champagne glass was never empty!! I definitely recommend the Campanille Chapel, Waterwall, and Carillon Ballroom. Book the Bell Tower, you will not regret it!!!
Let me begin by saying Donna Chun is amazing!! She is the most caring, organized, and clam coordinator! We booked the Bell Tower over a year out from my daughter's wedding and had a different coordinator to begin with . When it switched we were concerned but Donna put our minds at ease immediately! We were hosted a large wedding and unfortunately due to Covid, had a date change with only 3 weeks to the date, had to reschedule ----9 months later! Donna worked with us and stayed in contact with us often. We added items along the way and Donna always got back with , met with us and went over everything! The rehearsal and wedding were over the top beautiful! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and they made Brooke's dream wedding come to light! It was like a fairy tale wedding. The food was spectacular and many guests complimented the food and open bar! The lights and space also made it easy to move around and enjoy the evening. Thank you, Donna and Bell Tower for making Brooke and Adam's dream wedding come true!
Blessings,
Mindy F (mother of the bride)
Where to start?? First of all our wedding coordinator Donna Chun is a rockstar. She was amazing from the start of the wedding planning process to the very end of our wedding reception. She is genuinely one of the sweetest and thoughtful people you will ever meet. She made sure all the final details were worked out and made sure we had everything we needed during our reception. I have never seen someone move with so much energy! She is top notch! The venue is gorgeous and once it was decorated it felt like my guests and I were in a whole different place. The staff were all so professional and hard working. It did not go unnoticed! I honestly could not imagine having my wedding reception anywhere else. Next, The food was delicious! My guests loved their prosciutto stuffed parmesan chicken. It was a hit! The drinks from the awesome bartenders were also a win as well. Open bar is the way to go! Trying to plan and execute a wedding during covid was stressful in itself but the Bell Tower made it happen with no issues or problems. The entire night was magical, and I just can’t thank them enough for making our dream wedding come true! Thanks for being a part of the best day ever!
We hosted our wedding at The Bell Tower on October 24, 2020. We booked them originally because The Bell Tower was such a beautiful venue and it really seemed like the complete package. I can't say enough positive things about both The Bell Tower and our Day-Of Coordinator, Damaris De Leon. Damaris was so wonderful and went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. She worked with us to execute our vision exactly how we wanted it, and made sure we didn't have to lift a FINGER on our wedding day. I would recommend her and The Bell Tower to anyone getting married in Houston.
Donna Chun and the Bell Tower did an amazing job with our wedding. We had booked the venue 13 months in advance of our wedding date, March 2020. Then, Covid put a wrench in our plans. The Bell Tower was very understanding and worked with us to reschedule to September 2020. Even with a reduced guest list, they made the event feel so grand and special. We were able to do numerous add-ons: champagne welcome, apps, late-night snacks, cake spotlight, column uplighting, projected monogram, “fancy” bridal suite, etc. The venue was so elegant and beautiful. Our florist Javier, with Floral Events, Inc. has a great working relationship with the Bell Tower and made everything look even more beautiful. We chose black table linens and lots of tea lights, which really made the white orchids pop. As for the food -it was delicious! With our Indian and Asian backgrounds, we were able to blend the menu. My favorite was the Sea Bass and Malai Kofta (easily the favorite version I’ve ever had). If Chef had a restaurant, we would definitely be regulars. The service was great too – attentive and helpful staff who made us feel like royalty. Our coordinator, Donna, was also the best! Overall, it was a 19 month process and she helped us through the entire way. From the initial stages of visioning/planning, to the challenges of Covid, to the final adaptations, the whole experience was even better than expected, and end result so beautiful. Donna’s enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail truly made a difference and we are so grateful to have had her on our team. I would, without reservation, recommend The Bell Tower on 34th and Donna Chun to anyone with a special occasion to celebrate.
Thank you for making the best day of our lives perfect!! WE LOVED every part of our wedding and we were unable to do it without the Bell Tower, most of all, Leslie G. The guest did not stop speaking about how great the staff was, how punctual everything ran, they were in awe about the food and service, and of course the open bar. Thank you for being so attentive and helpful during the emotional time and being so flexible to make our guest and my husband and I comfortable and worry free. My husband and I and trying to find a reason to through another gathering at the Bell Tower to do it all over again. Thank you again, we are forever grateful ❤
Donna Chun is fantastic. We were really overwhelmed with planning a wedding during the pandemic. Donna walked us through all the steps to make the wedding as safe as possible. She really listened to our concerns and did everything in her power to give us the best day possible. On the day of, she was so calm, cool, and collected. She made sure everything ran seamlessly. Definitely ask for Donna!!!
I cannot say enough good things about The Bell Tower. I am so happy we choose this venue for our wedding. Donna was amazing. Planning a wedding through a pandemic was crazy and Donna made sure our day was perfect. We had to make so many changes leading up to our big day and Donna took care of everything. She also had so many suggestions to help us along the way and made sure we weren't stressed about anything. The customer service was outstanding. We had so many guests comment about how great everything was as well. I could go on and on about how wonderful our day was but I'll just leave it at one final note - your wedding photos will turn out amazing. The venue is so unbelievably gorgeous. Highly recommend.
The Bell Tower and Ashton were amazing for our wedding venue! We could not be happier with the way our wedding was planned and delivered. Ashton and her team took care of everything for us so we did not have to worry about anything on our big day. I could not be more thankful to Ashton for her guidance and help during the planning process. There are so many things I did not think about since I've never planned a wedding before but she made sure everything would run smoothly. Everything at The Bell Tower was just what we wanted- it is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our friends and family had a wonderful time and loved everything about our wedding. Thank you Ashton and everyone at The Bell Tower for providing us with a perfect wedding day!
"This is a BEAUTIFUL place to get married in. If you can get over the slightly awkward layout in some rooms, then this place gives the perfect look to any elegant wedding.
Leading up to the event, there was great communication and flexibility to accommodate me and my out-of-town fiance. We were satisfied with the professionalism and felt we could trust the venue with our day-of coordination.
Unfortunately, we were not pleased with the end result day-of. We are very particular people and had just about everything laid out ourselves and shared with the appropriate parties in advance. The execution of our dream fell through in many areas, leaving us less than satisfied. Though our guests did not pick up on the ""issues"", which is of high importance to us, we knew what we wanted and the amazing-ness we wanted to portray and were disheartened when it didn't shine through.
We shared every bit of what frustrated us day-of with the venue (from missing flowers to staff eating our cake while guests did not get any to families served last and others served after cake cutting). We appreciated that they accepted our feedback with an open mind and offered to compensate us. They refunded us $500 which was a kind gesture but does not quite make up for all of the ""damages"".
Again, beautiful venue. Be sure to be very clear with your coordinator well in advance. If you think it's a no-brainer, explain it anyways. We understand no wedding day is ever ""perfect"". We do believe a lot of what frustrated us could have been avoided with proper preparation.
We had an expectation based on all of the money we spent on this event. Unfortunately, we were not impressed about the end result. We just don't believe the return on our investment was up to par. "

Thanks Monica, beautiful location, delicious food, award winning service. You’re right! Late arrivers and guests enjoying the dance floor are served at a different time. Although we are not involved with flowers at all, our highly trained and w...
ell-managed staff do not eat wedding cake but are occasionally mistaken for a vendor or other provider. The wedding was beautiful!

Most Beautiful Venue in Houston
We just got married on 2/14/20 and spent an entire year planning our wedding. Donna was incredibly patient and generous with her time during this process. She had so many good ideas that made our event seamless. Words can't express how thankful we are to her for her guidance. Everything we asked for, she was able to make happen. It's clear that they really value their clients and are not snobby in the slightest. The value of the Bell Tower on 34th packages can't be beat; they let you use any vendor you want, and we really liked how there was no price difference between seated vs buffet dinner, and the cost of open bar alcohol was reasonable (relative to other similar-tier venues). All our guests were raving about the service and loved the lobster bisque soup. People can't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. Everyone loved the numerous outdoor backdrops for photography. My now-husband and I are very happy we chose the Bell Tower on 34th. It was the only venue that we visited! :)
We can't imagine having our wedding reception elsewhere!! We love The Bell Tower on 34th! Donna and Leslie were wonderful to work with. They were easy to communicate with, understood our needs, were super responsive and accommodating to our requests and questions, etc. I am very Type A and planned every timeline detail of my wedding, and can say with confidence that I had the most amazing wedding reception, thanks to their coordination. All of our family and friends had a blast, and could not stop complimenting the beautiful venue, delicious food and drinks and amazing service. Thank you Donna, Leslie and The Bell Tower on 34th for making my wedding day dreams come true!!
We had our wedding at the Bell Tower on 34th with Leslie as our coordinator. Leslie did an amazing job! She was always prompt to reply, willing to help, and made sure the day / logistics were smooth. The venue itself is beautiful and the staff is very competent! I did hear from the guests that some of the food-serving staff weren't friendly, but maybe they had other things going on / it was an off day. Overall, I would recommend just because Leslie was wonderful to work with and the venue is gorgeous!
The Belltower was a wonderful venue for my daughters wedding in November. Their website helped keep everything on track. Having the chairs, tables,linens and table settings provided by the venue was a huge plus! The catering staff provided excellent food and the serving staff did an excellent job. Our coordinator Donna did an excellent job keeping everything running smoothly!
The Bell Tower on 34th in Houston Texas is the absolute BEST place to have your wedding in the city! The staff is kind, extremely helpful, and attentive from the day of booking until the day of “I DO”!
Bell Tower on 34th knows how to do a perfect wedding. They have it down to a science and will make the whole process seamless. Leslie is incredible and I am so lucky to have had her by my side throughout. The day of was so perfect and I've received SO many compliments about how great the wedding was. I could not have asked for anything to be more perfect, they seriously think of EVERYTHING!!
When I first saw the venue I fell in love. It is the most beautiful place. Our wedding coordinator Leslie was amazing. She was easy to get in contact with and she made sure we had everything we needed for the wedding. Everything from tasting to the actual wedding day was perfect. Our guests are still raving about the wedding and the service they received, from the servers to the bartenders and valet. I thank Leslie from the bottom of my heart for making our day perfect and for making sure I was ok the whole time.
I have to mention that we got married at the Bell Tower on March 9, 2019 because I noticed the last review was married on the same day! It speaks volumes to the professionalism of the Bell Tower. We knew there was another wedding going on that night, but everything was seamless, and we never noticed any overlap or issues.
We had Donna managing our party, and she is AMAZING. She made sure my day was stress free, and she took care of things before I could even think about them! She also did a perfect job coordinating with the few outside vendors that we did bring in; my phone never rang once even though I was prepared and willing to help! I really wanted a simple wedding and was looking for a venue that could do it all. The Bell Tower does just that! Table, chairs, candles, food...it was all perfect! They took our "simple" wedding and made it classic and elegant. Our friends and family loved the beautiful venue and the food was delicious!
The venue was perfect—all of the guests raved about the delicious food, the atmosphere, etc. Our coordinator, Leslie, was amazing to work with!
We got married at the Bell Tower on March 9th, 2019. The whole experience from start to finish was absolutely amazing and seamless. The venue itself is by far the most BEAUTIFUL venue out of any in Houston. And the staff is incredible. Especially Angie, she was our event coordinator that we worked with from the very beginning. She is amazing and I can’t thank her enough for all the things she did for us. When it came down to the wedding day, she kept the wedding running like a well oiled machine. She was so organized and ran the ship! It took all the stress off of me and my family and it really helped us enjoy the day even more. Our guests are STILL talking about how wonderful and beautiful the venue was! I highly recommended the Bell Tower and Angie, they will make your dreams come true.
This venue is gorgeous, professional, and the food is devine! We do not regret one bit of choosing to have our Ceremony and Reception here!
The first thing that drew us to the Bell Tower was how beautiful the venue is, but what really helped us make our decision was the service. Everyone at the Bell Tower is extremely professional and helpful. Our coordinator Donna went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect- she was always available to answer questions, discuss details, and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. She was truly a lifesaver! Our wedding at the Bell Tower was absolutely beautiful and we had a great experience working with everyone there. Would highly recommend to any bride!
The Bell Tower is truly the most beautiful venue! All our guests were amazed at how incredible it was. You cannot go wrong having a wedding or event there because it’s really so beautiful as is and doesn’t even need much decor. We first had Ashton as our wedding coordinator and she was wonderful. We then got Donna and she went above and beyond for us on our wedding day! We had a few bumps on the road during the planning process, but Donna worked really hard to accommodate our requests and immediately made it all right. We are so thankful for her! The wedding day was honestly perfect and we couldn’t have done it without her. She made the wedding day so easy for me and handled everything! Angie also helped us during the rehearsal and ceremony and she was so wonderful!!! So it seems like you can’t go wrong with coordinators at The Bell Tower - Ashton, Donna and Angie are all amazing and make sure their clients are happy and well taken care of. Aside from that, we also got a lot of compliments from our guests on the passed apps and dinner entree. I would say the wedding was flawless thanks to The Bell Tower. I honestly can’t think of a more perfect venue and wonderful people to work with on our wedding- we are so thankful and happy!
We had an amazing experience with this venue, it is such a beautiful space! But what was even better was the customer service that we got from Leslie, who is one of the event coordinators. She was so sweet, easy to talk to and very accommodating. We ended up selecting another venue, but it was so hard to make a decision because we loved Leslie and the Bell Tower so much. I honestly have nothing negative to say about the Bell Tower that led us to choose another venue except that the venue we ended up choosing had more availability in the time frame that we wanted, whereas The Bell Tower only had one date left that would work for us and this was 13-14 months in advance. So I would definitely suggest that you tour early because they will book up, but I would absolutely recommend Leslie and this venue to anyone!
Wedding prep is stressful, but picking a venue needn't be, especially if you're reading this review. The Bell Tower on 34th is a gem, and we highly recommend it as your wedding venue. The place is incredibly photogenic, the food's superb, and the staff's both polished and professional.
Equally noteworthy at the Bell Tower are the event coordinators, or -- in our case -- Donna Chun. Donna transformed a notoriously stressful life event into a seamless and classy fairytale. She's truly exceptional, and produced for us a wedding we'll cherish well into our golden years.
In essence, the Bell Tower's value cannot be overstated, and we absolutely recommend it as your wedding venue.
tl;dr: Gorgeous venue, excellent value, and ask for Donna.
Our wedding at the Bell Tower in May 2018 was nothing short of perfect. The venue is simply stunning and wowed guests from start to finish. We had our cocktail hour at the water wall and in the room adjacent. Then our reception was in the two main adjoining ballrooms. The food is incredible, we did a buffet and had late night bites (which were adorable). The staff is professional and accommodated all of the guests. We could not have asked for a better venue. Our photographs are simply stunning, as a result of the natural beauty of the Bell Tower. We are so thankful for Meredith and her help throughout the process. If you are looking to have a wedding that people talk about for months to come, definitely consider the Bell Tower!
We cannot thank Angie enough for everything she did to make our wedding so beautiful. The venue looked spectacular! We received so many compliments. Our vision for our special day was carried out to perfection. Angie is amazing! It has truly been a pleasure working with her. She inspired confidence from day one and we knew we were in good hands. What a wonderful experience! We were so lucky to have found her!
The venue is beautiful don't get me wrong. The ballrooms are breathtaking and I'm sure it would make for an excellent place to have a wedding. My fiance and I had an appointment from 345 to 415. We arrived early and were given a map and told to explore until our appointment time. At 345 we came back to the front area to wait. At 410 we finally met with our appointment, Donna, who asked us if we had any questions. Yes, we had several, but none that could be answered in our 5 remaining minutes before we had to leave for our next appointment. I understand that things happen and people run late, but to leave people hanging for 25 minutes of a 30 minute appointment doesn't send a good message, the very least they could let us know they are running late so we could reschedule or move on to our next venue. I'm rating it 2 stars because it is a gorgeous venue, and I'm sure many people are happy with it, we just did not personally have a good experience.

Hi Clayton,
We want to apologize for the experience you described. We see feedback like yours as an opportunity to improve. Almost every tour at The Bell Tower on 34th starts with a self-guided tour, which is designed so guests may discover th...
e venue at their own pace if they want to. We can do better in setting that expectation for first time visitors. The Event Producers here are very dedicated to our clients and we did not end your appointment that day. Thankfully, since you had to leave, you mutually agreed to follow-up with questions later. Once again, please accept our apology for the experience you described. Our goal is to deliver excellent events no one will ever forget.
Bell tower is the most beautiful venue in Houston! I loved every detail and also Donna the event coordinator did a good job at walking us through everything. Thank you for the excellent service!
We had our wedding at the Bell Tower in October 2018 and it was simply perfect. Donna was our coordinator and we honestly miss her so much after our wedding was over. She was so attentive, helpful and sweet from the moment we came in for a tour to our grand exit. She really went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly without stress. She anticipated our needs, answered our millions of questions and emails and made sure we took time to breathe when we were anxious. We got married at the Water Wall and had our reception in the Carillon Ballroom. The entire place just makes for incredible pictures and our guests could not stop talking about how elegant and beautiful it was. I highly recommend having an event at the Bell Tower and definitely choose Donna – she was a big part of the success of our wedding.
This place is amazing. I worked with Donna and she was so helpful every step of the way.
We had such a magical wedding in August at the Bell Tower! Guests are still raving about our wedding 3 months later! Angie is simply incredible. She helped with every detail and answered every question. She's also the perfect mix of calming , warm, and firm. As a bride without a wedding planner, my family and I were still able to be completely relaxed at the wedding and just enjoy the best weekend of our lives thanks to her flawless coordination.
My husband and I had our wedding and ceremony at the Bell Tower back in June, and I must say that the staff is INCREDIBLE! Angie Littles was our wedding coordinator and she kept us on track, to the timeline, and truly made our wedding day go by seamlessly. I highly recommend the Bell Tower. A lot of the stresses of planning a wedding and getting together the day of details were taken care of by the awesome staff of the Bell Tower.
The Bell Tower on 34th gets 5 raving stars from us!!!
Coordinator/Communication : From the initial meeting onwards, Donna was truly amazing and very helpful in the planning process. She communicates in a timely fashion and is always easy to reach by cell phone and email. The Bell Tower customer hub app really keeps everything organized and in order. You never have to wonder what is left to be done or keep up with papers or contracts. They make it seamless. Donna was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what our wishes were. And I just can't say enough about how communication was very effective between us.
Venue/Decor: This venue is magical!!! And the first thing I noticed outside of its beauty was that the smell is divine. It smells like lightly scented vanilla. It does not have that stale smell of other places. I knew I wanted to get married here! The pictures online are great but don't do it justice. You have to see it in person! Everything looked amazing on our wedding day. We got the candle package and although we had a daytime wedding/reception, no one knew because of the decor and ambiance. It was truly beautiful!
Food/Service: For the reception, we opted for the buffet for our guests with open bar and the food/drink package was great! So many things to choose from and the prices were reasonable, especially for our daytime package. The head chef really works with you to make sure that your food is the way you expect it and that you have plenty of it. Service was also amazing for pre-wedding in the bridal suite and groom's suite (plenty of snacks, water and champagne).
Overall, this venue really gets it right!!! Our coordinator was amazing, ceremony and reception spaces are beautiful (and smell good) and food and service were top notch!!! You cannot go wrong!
Ashton was so great!! We had 9 months of planning and she made the process easy and smooth. She really helped take away the stress and assured me everything was going to turn out great! Sit down meetings and food tasting was also very helpful. Everyone is still talking about that night and LOVED the venue!
Our wedding was so great, the venue really did a great job from beginning to end. From the beauty and elegance of the venue to the organization of the customer hub this venue is by far superior to all others and worth every penny. Thank you Angie and staff for making our special day a huge success!!!!!
We had our wedding on June 23rd, 2018 and everything was amazing! I can't say enough good things about the Bell Tower, the service was top notch! Our coordinator, Leslie, went over the top in every single way possible to make our day so special and smooth. I would most definitely recommend getting a day of coordinator through the Bell Tower. From day one, communication was great, the food was great, the alcohol packages are very reasonable, the space is great and smells amazing! Their online client portal is easy to use and really helps with the planning process. Upon reserving your wedding at the Bell Tower, they send you a planning binder and information about vendors. I have nothing whatsoever bad that I can say because working with the Bell Tower was such a breeze! I would 10/10 recommend booking your wedding there. Not only is it a beautiful space, but even the service you get is amazing!
Ashton was wonderful to work with and the Bell Tower was a great venue. From the excellent service, to the delicious food, to the wonderful flow of the evening...everything was superb. We had many positive compliments from our guests. We appreciate all Ashton did to make our daughter's wedding a wonderful experience.
I had my wedding in May at the Bell Tower and had the best experience. My coordinator, Angie, was exceptional. She was professional and very helpful. The wedding went smoothly. The seated dinner was delicious and got many compliments. The staff the day of were very courteous. I truly recommend this place to everyone.
Once I took my daughter and her fiance to this place they wanted me to do anything I could to book their wedding their. They loved it. What a great choice. Not only was it gorgeous but my coordinator, Donna Chun was incredible. I am a control freak and I didn't have to do a thing. I gave her pictures of where I wanted items to go and she did it all. She designed the various tables, guest area, chapel, etc. using her ideas and they were beautiful. I couldn't have done it any better. She was the bomb and the nicest person. I would definitely recommend this venue. You won't be disappointed.
The Bell Tower is honestly an unbeatable venue in my opinion. It is gorgeous inside and out, staff is friendly and efficient, and Ashton, my coordinator was incredible! My guests couldn't stop telling me how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food is. I was blown away by the entire experience.
I highly recommend The Bell Tower. I plan the Proms for our high school and this is our third event there in five years. Angie is very knowledgeable and responsive to the many questions that I always had.
I was a reluctant bride. I was overjoyed about getting married but I really did not want to have a wedding. I caved to the pressure and I am happy I chose Bell Tower! From the first moment we visited Bell Tower, I think we knew it was the place! We met with Meredith Arthur and she was great through the entire process. I am not sure you can find a better location for the cost and the amenities. It was great. Meredith allowed us to stop by and visit as many times as we wanted after we signed the contract. The tasting was great! The chef came out to greet us and even allowed us to try other items that we had not chosen. The food was really good. I was concerned that the food at the wedding reception would not be as good but it was great! The final walk through with Meredith was so helpful and she was able to offer suggestions for room layout. She was great. On the day of the wedding, everyone made me feel so special. From Meredith, to the event staff, the valet, everyone. The bridal suite and groom suite was set up beautifully with drinks, fruit, cheese, crackers, etc. It was a smooth ride that day! I am happy that we chose Bell Tower.
My husband and I got married on Sunday, March 18, 2018. The Bell Tower was the first venue we visited and we totally fell in love with it. Our wedding day was just magical here. Special thanks to Ashton, who was amazing! She was very responsive to all of our inquiries and she made sure that our day ran smoothly. If it was not for Ashton, I think I would have been panicking the day off. She made sure everything was taken care of. This is the perfect venue for your event, I guarantee it!!! You will not regret it!
Angie,
Thank you for all your help with planning a wonderful wedding. We truly enjoyed the experience and had a wonderful time. All our guests raved about the Bell Tower.
Regards
Cristy and Oscar
This venue and ALL of the people that work there made my daughter's wedding beautiful and very enjoyable! The venue provides you with a planner to help you organize everything that goes on that day in the venue. We were lucky enough to get Ashton Adduci as my daughter's planner and she was not only very organized and covered all the details, but she worked with our budget to help us get the experience that we were hoping to have. She was also very quick to respond to all of our questions, especially that crazy week before the wedding. The venue has several beautiful areas to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in and they made sure that each area was set up with some of their decorations and they even set up ours. Everyone that worked there was very professional, and we were able to ask anyone to help us and they were happy to do so. The food was very good! They offer a tasting before the event so that you can try anything that you were thinking of serving, and they even had the chef there to answer questions. I cannot recommend The Belltower and Ashton enough! Everyone made sure that my daughter's wedding was beautiful, fun and worry free. Thank you Ashton!
