event1013

gs with the owners. We also rented tables and place settings through the venue, and it was such a breeze - it really saved us a lot of energy while planning our wedding. It's also worth noting that our wedding was originally scheduled to take place in 2020 and had to be moved due to the pandemic. The team at event1013 was very understanding and easy to work with, and we moved everything to the next year without a problem! I highly recommend working with event1013 for your next event!

bered them. My husband and I were looking for an urban-style venue that also had bit of character, but also wouldn't use up our entire wedding budget. After the first tour we got such a good feeling about the space and the staff. We loved the style, the history of the space, the caterer kitchen, the ability to use their sound system, an actual bridal suite, rental items, and all other services/amenities available. We, especially, loved that we could have our ceremony in a separate space than the reception. We felt that the Raw Garden room, with the wall of candles and a greenery wall, was special and perfect for the ceremony. The main room for the reception was great, especially with the use of the antique furniture. We received so many compliments about the venue itself that night and afterwards. Overall our experience working with the staff, from the very beginning with the first phone call to schedule a tour to the mid-planning email exchanges to the very end, was wonderful! We couldn't have chosen a better place for our wedding!

e has an awesome list of vendors they recommed that really made planning everything so much easier. They also have an amazing bridal suite behind the venue that offered plenty of room for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in! I highly recommend this venue for any event!!

ckdrop for the ceremony, especially when it is lit with candles! The entire staff was awesome and patient with all the moving parts we had with a full day rental and a large wedding.

a VIP bride suite for you to get ready in, its in the heart of downtown Plano in such a cute little street. I highly recommend this venue

ring and can bring in your own alcohol. The only downside is that they are booked constantly so setup and rehearsal was kinda tight.

aising event on St Patrick's Day with dinner, dancing and a Raffle! It was a great success due to the help of Melissa and the rest of the staff! We will definitely be back next year!!

g (85 people), but the place can fit up to 120 people. Event1013 is SO much more affordable than almost every other place in the DFW area, which is part of the reason we chose them. They have pretty much everything there for rent: table cloth options, plates, forks, decorations, etc... All at cheaper prices than other vendors that come in!

my decor dreams come to life! I could not be happier with my experience with them. I would definitely recommend them and recommend every bride to pay a little extra for the decor clean-up service! I loved being able to leave and pick up my decor the next day with all the items neatly packed in boxes for me. I could not have asked for a better team to help make my my big day as smooth as possible.

ordination to someone else but everything was perfect. The Event 1013 staff made sure the caterers, bartenders, DJ, florist and cake were all set up with everything they needed and the space looked gorgeous for my reception. I have already recommended the space to others looking for a reception space.

picked a more gorgeous venue that felt very "us." Unfortunately, to get the wonderful venue, we had to deal with some not-so-wonderful people. Cory, who walked us around during our first tour, was great. Very informative and friendly. However, after our initial tour, we did not deal with Cory again and were left to deal with a very unpleasant employee (I guess she was a planner? Coordinator? Whatever.) She was outright rude to my mother on multiple occasions. Information we were given was contradicted almost every time we met or asked questions. This employee treated us like dirt. Luckily for her, I was a very laid-back bride who did not completely freak out when we kept getting false information. They try to act like all of these wonderful amenities are "included" when in fact, they charge you for every little thing they can. We brought in our own food and were not told about a kitchen "deposit" until our last meeting before the wedding. (By the way event1013, it's not a "deposit" if there's no way of getting it back... that's called a "fee." Which would have been fine if we had been given this information before we booked the venue.) During our wedding, an employee was assigned to monitor and basically just be there in case something went wrong. She was absolutely the most useless "monitor" ever. When it was time for dancing, the music was not loud AT ALL. I had to ask for her help in turning up the volume for the premium sound package that we OVERPAID for. She looked at me like she had no clue what I was talking about. She basically sat in the back until it was time for her to leave. We also OVERPAID for a lighting package that was a complete waste of money. I, in my wedding dress, ended up having to fix the audio for our music. After our wedding, we were charged for candle wax getting on one of the venue's cheap chairs. We were charged more than what the chair was even worth. Overall, the venue is beautiful and I am so glad we chose it as our backdrop for the most important night of our lives. I do wish the employees had been more helpful. Being upfront with clients about all costs and "rules" is a MUST when owning a venue. It is a shame that such a beautiful venue is run by such incompetent people. If I could go back, I would probably have shopped around for a similar style venue, but with a more helpful staff.

charge for all the "extras", however, event1013 charges for extra time in the bridal suite. You are only given 2 hours, extra time costs more. What bride and bridal party can get ready, take pictures, and freshen up in two hours?! That was my biggest complaint. AND they make you pack up your stuff and clear out the suite before the wedding starts. So before my ceremony the bridal party was frantically gathering and packing their things, instead of relaxing and preparing for the ceremony!

d I both had to leave multiple messages over several days to get a walk-through/meeting. During meetings, some of the same questions from previous meetings/conversations were asked and we had to remind her that we had already gone over that. She would promise to email us required paperwork, but wouldn't follow through. The day of the reception, we had 2 different "wedding directors". One stayed for the 1st half, and the other for the 2nd half. Our caterer entered the back of the building w/ the food 30 min. early to set up,but was told that he wasn't allowed to,even though there wasn't another event taking place. We paid the fee to have alcohol during the event. As my mom & in-laws were bringing in the alcohol, the employee in charge of our event began yelling at them about the alcohol not being there yet and demanding to know where it was. When my mom tried to explain, the employee continued yelling at her. When my wedding planner was decorating, the employee started complaining about the decorations not being put up yet. We were told from the beginning that the employee in charge of the event was only in charge of watching the event to ensure none of the rules were broken, not our timeline or decorating. We were charged for things we weren't informed of and for things we didn't use/ask for. The family members that cleaned up afterwards were asked to leave when we ran 20 min late, even though we were allowed to pay for an extra hour if we ran over. The items left from the reception were moved out to the front curb and some of them lost. I have never seen such horrible customer service. The 2 stars are for the appearance of the venue. This beautiful venue needs a new owner and management!

s shops and bars where our guests could hang out before and after. Perfect situation! Favorite parts: ceremony and reception in one venue, no stipulations on what vendors you can use but they have some great suggestions, great antique furniture at your disposal, apartment out back to use (but only during your rented time), a/v equipment and screen for slideshow already in place, and responsive staff. If you're having a night wedding, your photographers will need to bring lights/flashes because it's pretty dark. The chairs and tables are very basic, but come with the rental so if you don't care too much, it's one extra rental to cross off your list.

n my family, who was helping decorate. If I had to choose again, I would choose event1013.

The venue is wonderful and is such a beautiful space. Growing up in Plano, I saw the building transform and can honestly say that the work they have done with the space is perfect and suits it so well. We opted to have one of the large garage windows in the front open during our reception and I loved that aspect – it really helped the space feel more open and brought just enough of the outdoor ambience inside. We had about 100 guests and the size was perfect and their prices are so reasonable. For anyone wanting to get married in a beautiful, historic space in Plano, I highly recommend event 1013.

herwise everything was great. Everyone loved the venue. I would recommend it to other brides.

ce. Negatives: HUGE projection white wall (we tried to drown it out using a black background PowerPoint monogram), dark (our videographer had to use lights a lot for shooting), blue tree lights (they have small trees with blue lights inside that are really tacky and you have to pay to have them stored for your event), and the tables/chairs (they provide them for the space but their tables were too small and chairs look cheap and uncomfortable so we rented from outside).

, without any problems! The space itself is amazing, with an incredible modern spin on an antique building, perfect for many different decorating styles. You can really make it your own. It was also very convenient to have tables, chairs and linens available to us as well. It was perfect for our 150 guests, bar, cake table, and buffet in the Raw Garden room in the back. It is such a good place for weddings and receptions, or any party (I've been to a birthday party there also), and I love all of the picture ops inside and out in the downtown area. I could not have had a better venue to have our wedding! Thank you!

heart of downtown Plano. The high ceilings, exposed brick walls, insets for votives, luxurious bathrooms, and raw wooden feature in the garden room beautifully combine historical elegance with modern flair. The natural beauty allows for very minimal decorating (which saves money for your overall budget!). With the rich historical significance and beautiful atmosphere, you really can't get much better for the extremely reasonable price (compared to all the other venues we looked at). They provide flatware, linens, dishes, drinkware, and decorations that you can rent for low prices. Also, having the option of doing both the ceremony and reception at the same place saved us money as well. We had between 80-90 guest and did the ceremony (in the garden room) and reception at the site. It was very comfortable and cozy, we had just the right amount of people. However, I would suggest no more than 100 guest if you are wanting to do the ceremony and reception there. The staff are amazing! They are very flexible and helpful with every aspect from figuring out the floor plan to answering any questions about decorations, vendors, etc. My bridesmaids and I were able to use the bridal loft 2 hours before the ceremony started, and the on-site staff was very flexible when it cam time to clear our stuff out of the loft. We were also able to use any outside vendors we wanted, but if you have liquor you must have a licensed bartender that is insured. I would recommend Event1013 to anyone looking for a beautifully historic and chic venue to hold any type of party!
