Bell Tower on 34th

ay. 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!

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. "

od 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! :)

uests 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!!

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!

llent food and the serving staff did an excellent job. Our coordinator Donna did an excellent job keeping everything running smoothly!

ived 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!!

g 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.

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!

ly 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.

eyond 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!

ton 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!

g. 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!

he 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.

ain 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!

en 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!

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.

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.

, 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.

y 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.

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!

Everyone is still talking about that night and LOVED the venue!

ie and staff for making our special day a huge success!!!!!

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!

eciate all Ashton did to make our daughter's wedding a wonderful experience.

f the day of were very courteous. I truly recommend this place to everyone.

ol 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.

cious the food is. I was blown away by the entire experience.

! 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.

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!

hton 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!

he wedding day! Donna stepped in as the day-of coordinator and she was great! She kept everything on track and left NOTHING for me to worry about. Thank you Bell Tower for making my wedding day amazing.

throughout the whole process. The day of, she went above and beyond to make sure my day was stress-free (even with unexpected rain) and that everything was perfect.

nother continent; from the beautiful over-sized carved wooden doors, green ivy, gorgeous interiors with pillars and huge staircases…just stunning! We had looked at numerous wedding venues, but when we went to the Bell Tower, the search was over! Our coordinator was Leslie Gonsalves who was nothing short of awesome! From our first meeting, she was engaged, had all the right answers and recommendations; she was totally professional, knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. Her vendor recommendations were excellent and we relied on her to help make many of those critical decisions. On game day, Leslie and her entire staff was spot on, executing the wedding plan like clockwork. The Bell Tower staff was fantastic in every aspect from the setup crew, to the wait staff, to the bar tenders to the valet. The chef and food service were outstanding. We chose to go with a buffet for our wedding of 185 guests and they coordinated the buffet to keep it flowing efficiently and never ran short on any items. We had numerous guests comment on how wonderful the food was. The served appetizers were excellent as well. The servers kept them coming and the wine and champagne flowed all evening. The wedding service was in the beautiful Campanile Chapel and the cocktail hour/reception in the adjacent Carillon Ballroom. You could not ask for better logistics and the grand staircase where the newlyweds entered the ballroom is just terrific. The bottom line…The Bell Tower, Leslie G. and staff exceeded our expectations and made this special day our daughter’s dream wedding! We found the Bell Tower to be very competitively priced with outstanding amenities, ballroom options, an excellent menu selection prepared by their own chef’s and very reasonable bar/liquor packages. If you are looking for a wedding venue, look no further and ask for Leslie G.!

Chapel, Waterwall courtyard, and Carillon Ballroom--were absolutely stunning. Our coordinator, Angie Stubler, was consistently and unfailingly professional, caring, gracious, and patient throughout the entire process. I heartily recommend this venue.

ordinator, Meredith. She is truly amazing!! Every single person contributed to the outstanding service making our dream wedding a reality! It was a joy to work with The Bell Tower every step of the way!

s so beautiful you can do as much or as little decorating as you want. I used their pinterest boards a lot for inspiration. My coordinator was Angie Stubler and she was so incredibly flexible, considerate, and overall wonderful to work with! I visited several venues, but this was the first one I saw and immediately fell in love. The Bell Tower has several rooms at varying prices to fit most budgets, and I think there were 2 other events going on at the same time as mine, but we never saw or heard them. The entire staff is extremely nice and always accommodating. As part of my decor, I had thirteen 7-foot strings of carnations that were cumbersome but the staff managed to store them in advance and hang beautifully despite never having seen something like them before. I loved that Angie laid out the full pricing at our first meeting, it was nice not feeling like there would be surprise charges. The only downfall, which wasn't truly a big deal at all, is that it does cost extra to get ready in the bridal suite so we chose to do that elsewhere. The food is fantastic, and everything about the Bell Tower screams high quality. I planned our entire wedding myself, and was very happy to not have to do everything a la carte (food, drinks, waitstaff, etc.). And if you live in the loop or are looking for something in the city in Houston, this location is fantastic.

eird emails he was sending her at all hours of the day. She was so accommodating, and thorough, we just loved her. The venue is stunning, we got married in the Campanille Chapel at dusk. We had our Cocktail Hour at the Waterwall, which was insanely amazing. Our Reception took place in the The Carillion Ballroom, which made for an amazing entrance when we were announced as husband and wife. Our guests came from far and wide, to attend our wedding, and they have not stopped raving about this venue. The staff was great and accomodating, we wanted for nothing. The food, impeccable. The Bell Tower on 34th, is the best place to get married, hands down in the Houston area. Thank you for making our wedding so special!!!

y. Leslie Gonzalves was our wedding planner, she was absolutely great from the very beginning. She listened to every single detail I wanted and made sure it was incorporated into our wedding day. Planning the wedding from Minnesota was a seamless process at the Bell Tower thanks to Leslie. She responded to my emails and accommodated me when I was in town. The service there is absolutely flawless! We had our cocktail hour outside at the water wall and it was just perfect, all of our guests loved it. Leslie made sure that everyone was on time and took care of all of the minor wedding details. She was just great, she was there for me and my husband all night and made sure we were okay, well fed and hydrated! It was absolutely perfect, all of our guests raved about how beautiful the wedding venue was and how delicious the food was! We chose the Bell Tower Chicken and Salmon with sautéed vegetables. Thank you Leslie for your incredible service and for the best night of our lives!!! - C&C

joy to hear our guest continuously talk so highly of our wedding, from the venue, to the food, and flow of events. If perfect days exist this was one of them. Thanks Bell Tower, Staff and Donna, Donna and Donna (it was like there was three of her) for all your efforts to making our day seem effortless. Myth Busters: Those rumors Bride and Groom don't enjoy the wedding, not true at Bell Tower .

single detail and answered every question we had. I could not ask for a better person to help with the wedding. All of our guests were raving about the venue, food, and staff. I would recommend the Bell Tower on 34th in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for a venue.

as truly, truly, wonderful!!! From the first day we met her until we left the reception on our wedding night, Leslie was kind, caring, organized, and patient as she worked with us to ensure that our vision for our wedding day reached its fruition. My husband and I have a 12 year old daughter, and Leslie was always so patient and kind to her and always included her in the conversations during our planning stages. On our wedding day, Leslie came to the dressing room to get our daughter to let her view the uplighting color to ensure that it was exactly as my daughter desired it to be. This truly amazed us that she remembered how important this aspect of the wedding was to our daughter!!! This truly exemplified how wonderful and kind that Leslie is and how she went above and beyond to ensure that our day went as planned!!! In addition to our friends/family in the Houston area, we had over 40 guests (friends/family) travel in from out of town -- from PA, NJ, GA, VA, DE, & NC, and it was very important that our guests had an amazing time. We had our ceremony/reception in the Candela Ballroom and the room setup was spectacular!!! The food was amazing, the room flip from ceremony to reception was flawless, photo booth setup was great, and the service was out of this world!!! Everyone at The Bell Tower made my husband, me, and our guests feel so very special and I would recommend The Bell Tower and Leslie to everyone. Our guests had a great time and they all indicated that it was a wonderful day.

mend this place time and time again. My coordinator Ashton was very helpful and accommodated all of my needs!

ould not have done this without her. My wedding is still being talked about months later. The food was the best thing ever! You must try the pasta! The whole venue is so beautiful! I received the best help all around. Angie was always just a phone call or email away! The day of the wedding I could tell everyone knew what that where doing and my wedding was perfect. I'm telling you not a thing went wrong and that is simply because of Angie and her fabulous team!! I highly recommended this venue and Angie!!

ng, so doing everything in one place really fit well with me. The venue is gorgeous! You need very little extra décor to enhance everything so you save $$ right there. Our coordinator Ashton was very helpful during the process and on the day of, as we also hired her for our DOC. She ran everything so smoothly, we still get compliments from guests of how wonderfully everything ran. She made sure to check in periodically throughout the day about if we wanted to spend more time here or there and kept us shielded from people pulling us in other directions. Very glad we had her! The food was great! We requested some Nigerian foods and the chef not only accommodated but hit it out of the park! It's on the pricier end, especially if you have a large guest list, but my husband and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Bell Tower!

elped make it affordable for us. Plus you get the most out for your money here, everything is done with class an elegance. Leslie G was my event producer, and she is talented and experienced. She provided us excellent service and advise throughout the process. She made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. My husband and I and our guest had a beautiful complete wedding experience!

e to anyone looking for a venue for a wedding, birthday party or even a corporate gathering. Awesome place, no flaws or dislikes whatsoever!!

d very responsive in the case I had any questions or concerns and put my at ease by how organized she was the day of not missing one thing. I was shocked how smooth my reception went with her help! Amazing amazing amazing! Definitely recommend the venue and ask for Ashton as your coordinator!

have received many compliments from our guests that they thought the food was delicious. The staff at the Bell Tower was professional, accommodating and very generous.

worked well. The food was also good. We keep getting feedback from our guest on how perfect the wedding was! I really appreciate the accommodations.

licious, especially the lamb pops that the guests continue to rave about. The bride's and groom's suites were comfortable and kept stocked with fruit, cheese, and beverages during our time before the wedding began. Anything we needed, they supplied! I can't say enough about our coordinator, Meredith! She was so easy to work with and took care of us throughout the whole process! She dealt with any hiccups so that everything came off smoothly and seamlessly. I felt like she had become part of the family by the end of everything. All of the staff were professional and worked together perfectly! We could not have been any happier with how everything turned out! Thank you Meredith, and The Bell Tower on 34th!

y and fun. The food is amazing and our wedding coordinator was the best. Angie made sure the wedding planning and preparation was easy. I want to thank Bel Tower on 34th and Angie for everything.

. Ashton became our event prodcuer about 3 months before our wedding after a change in staff, but she came right in like she has been with us from the very beginning. We would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone and everyone. If she is your event producer, know that you are in great hands and working with the best of the best.

n extremely friendly staff. Donna was so helpful in picking out the space, setting our menu, and helping us with each step of the way. She also gave us tips on vendors, a referral to our planner (Lauren @ Something to Celebrate, another rave review) and let us know if we were skipping any steps. I cannot say enough good things about the venue itself; it is very classy, quiet, and well-organized. The venue does not allow for outside food or liquor, which was the only potential downside we experienced, but it was very reasonably priced and their internal catering was excellent and well received by our guests. They have online payment and bookings for their tastings, so scheduling things was a breeze. We live in St. Louis, so we had my husband's parents attend the tasting in our place and even though Houston traffic made them late, the Bell Tower's staff was still able to help get things done. Again, highly recommend this place!!!

ails asking her too many questions to the day of the wedding, she was absolutely wonderful. My wedding turned out absolutely beautiful thanks to Angie and the rest of the staff at The Bell Tower. I have been getting constant compliments with how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was. I could not recommend The Bell Tower enough. The pictures online are beautiful, but do not do this gorgeous venue enough justice (go for a tour and prepare to be blown away!)

s plan the perfect day. Everything was very professional, from the menu tasting to the timing of the entire day. I arrived before the event a nervous wreck, thankfully Ashton reassured and convinced me that she would get everything taken care of and all I needed to do was get ready. There was a small, early hiccup involving flowers- Ashton quickly improvised and had things moving along again in no time. Once it all got under way I was able to just relax and enjoy the day. The food was good and many of the guests complimented not only the menu but the service and the entire venue. It would have been hard to find a more elegant place to be married and we were very lucky to have such an organized coordinator helping along the way!

excited to go to the place and could not stop talking about how beautiful a place this was and how they never experienced such a spectacular event. I could not have asked for anything more. Also, their preferred vendors made it easier to plan as I was able to find vendors I could trust that had experience at the venue. Also kudos to Chef Sergio as the food was incredible. I cannot say enough good things, except THANK YOU for making our wedding so beautiful and memorable.

o responsive, organized and very attentive. Thank God our day was everything that we hoped for and we will remain forever grateful.

ur wedding day were very precise. She communicated any potential issues with our requests timely and offered comparable alternatives (specific chargers and wines). Leslie took care of everything - we didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. She executed the timeline of the day flawlessly and kept everything running smoothly - we also had a couple of timeline adjustments on the day of our wedding and she took care of everything. Additionally, the venue itself is so beautiful. We had our ceremony in the Water Wall Courtyard, which is so scenic and beautiful on its own, we only added minimal decor. Our reception was in the Carillon Ballroom, which is also so beautiful. We did a seated dinner and gave the guests an entree selection (on the rsvp card) and the waitstaff carried out the instructions accurately and efficiently. The food was also excellent - we served the Caribbean Lobster, 8oz Rib Eye, and Vegetable Risotto. We highly recommend the Bell Tower for your wedding!

y and helpful, especially Donna who was my event coordinator. She is very easy to work with and flexible. She made sure all things are on time and where they should be during the wedding day. 5 stars for her! All of our guests are impressed and I believe they had a good time there. Food was good as well, the salmon was very nice, but the filet mignon has different sizes and some are a little over cooked but overall it was good. Thank you for making my wedding a memorable day for all of us!

are looking for a venue that caters to all your needs, this is the place for you! Meredith and her team made my wedding planning so easy and so much fun!

organized and experienced. I could not ask for a better day of coordinator. On the day of our wedding I would look up to tell her something and it would already be done. Leslie was so kind and always available to help or answer questions. Leslie made our wedding day so smooth and stress free! The Bell Tower is amazing and Leslie is the perfect wedding coordinator!

ect location for Bridal Portraits. You are given 2 hours of full access of the entire venue for pictures. I loved my bridal portraits.

on definitely had its challenges but Millicent helped take some of the stress off of us. We were planning on having our wedding in June 2017, but do to a wonderful surprise, we discovered that my wife was pregnant! We decided to move our wedding date to a sooner date (September, 2016) and the Bell Tower was extremely accommodating! Millicent also made sure that my wife had plenty of ginger ale and snacks in the bridal suite to help ease her morning sickness. The Bell Tower as a venue is beautiful (the pictures only do the venue a sliver of justice). Our ceremony and reception were held in the Contessa Room which was a perfect size for our relatively small wedding and the staff at the Bell Tower did a great job flipping the room from ceremony to reception. We decided to do a day-time wedding (11am-4pm), and the prices to use the venue and for the food were very reasonable. Because our wedding was in the day time, we were allowed to take our wedding pictures anywhere on the property since there were no other events in progress, which was great. The food was absolutely delicious (especially for wedding food!), and they even catered to a few of our vegetarian friends who had nothing but great things to say about their dishes. We had a few kids who were also very excited to get their own special plates of chicken strips and French fries, which was great. Some other friends also mentioned that the coffee was amazing. We don’t drink alcohol but we still wanted to do a champagne toast with sparkling juice. Millicent made sure that happened and it was free of charge too since we had asked for the drink package (tea, coffee, juice, etc.). The wait staff was good for the most part, except they forgot about a table of guest when serving our cake, so they ended up waiting for a while before having it. At the time we made our contract with the Bell Tower, they had an option for our buffet to be served Caruso style (meaning the wait staff plated the food for our guest so they didn’t have to stand in line) which was free. We later learned that the venue had begun to charge for that service but we were told they would still honor our initial contract. Unfortunately, in the end, they had told us that they would have to charge us for it, so we decided not to have Caruso style for our guest. We thought that seemed a bit unfair because it was in our contract as being free of charge but we just decided to forget about it instead of raising a stink about it. A wedding has so many different moving parts and there are so many mistakes that can be made and things can be easily forgotten. While there were a couple mistakes on our wedding day, Millicent went above and beyond in almost everything she helped us with. She was a great listener when we discussed how we wanted our big day to go and seemed genuinely excited to be helping us along. I highly recommend asking for her to be your wedding coordinator the day of if you are planning on using The Bell Tower for any event. Even 6 months later when we talk to our friends and guests, they still talk about how beautiful our wedding was, how great the food was, and a few still tell us how good that coffee was.
