Planning a wedding at scale comes with real pressure — more decisions, more coordination, and more chances for things to fall apart. Most couples come to us after realizing they want a venue designed to handle guest flow, logistics, and execution without constant oversight.
The Bell Tower on 34th was built to do exactly that.
Rather than juggling vendors, timelines, and competing opinions, couples who host their wedding here are guided through a clear, proven process led by an experienced in-house team. Our historic Houston venue brings ceremony, reception, cuisine, service, and production together in one place — so decisions are simpler and nothing is left to chance.
From your first tour, you’ll feel the difference: calm replaces confusion, and choices start to make sense. Every space is designed for movement, energy, and guest experience, while our team focuses on running the day with precision behind the scenes.
Couples choose The Bell Tower not just for the architecture or the food, but for the confidence that comes from working with a team that has produced thousands of successful events and knows what it takes to deliver a smooth, well-run wedding.
Schedule a tour to see if our space fits your guest count, style, and vision.

Our experience with The Bell Tower on 34th was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! The entire staff was professional, punctual, and incredibly attentive throughout every st...
ep of the process. From our first tour to the last dance on our wedding night, everything ran seamlessly thanks to their organization, expertise, and genuine care for their couples.
Our coordinator, Damaris, was truly outstanding - always responsive, patient, and quick to answer any questions we had. She made the planning process so easy and stress-free, and we knew we were in great hands. On the wedding day, the entire team went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed perfectly. The staff was attentive not only to us but also to all of our guests, ensuring everyone was comfortable and taken care of during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
The waitstaff and bartenders were exceptional, professional, friendly, and clearly skilled at what they do. We received so many compliments from our guests about the service and how smoothly the evening ran.
And of course, the venue itself is absolutely stunning! Every corner is picture-perfect, and our photos turned out breathtakingly beautiful. It truly provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration.
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to host our wedding at The Bell Tower on 34th. If you’re looking for a venue that’s not only gorgeous but also supported by a dedicated, professional, and genuinely kind team, look no further - this is the place!

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.

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.

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 attentio...
n 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.

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 delaye...
d 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 Bell Tower on 34th on 10/24/2023
Dear Doncy,
First and foremost, thank you for selecting The Bell Tower on 34th as the venu...
e 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!

g. 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 ..

his 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.

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!!!!

maris 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.

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 o...
rders 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.

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.

nue 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!!!

d 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 recept...
ion. 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!

age. 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 pla...
ns. 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.

na 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.

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!

g 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. "

d 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! :)

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.
