NaKayshions Wedding & Event Center

very attentive to our needs in this very demanding event. We loved using the historic chapel for morning lectures. The main hall provided us a spacious arena in which to eat, view films, have plenary discussion, and host special speakers. Thank you, NaKayshions for making this a wonderful launch!

Also, I had an ongoing debate on the function of the hostess. It went from no one directing guests where to go to having 2. Please be advised , do not rent this venue.

l. Still no resolution or call back.

le a date. I rearranged my work schedule to make the appointment. When I arrived I was informed they schedule me for my mock table setup that I didn’t have a chance to look at anything!Luckily they had a setup for a party where the colors were similar and I just added to the design. Food Vendor:Weeks before my wedding of trying to contact the food vendor. I contact Mr.Jackson and he finally setup an appointment for the tasting awesome. We purchased 10 additional chairs to the “Best” package making the total count 60. Some of my guest didn’t have chairs I should’ve had 6 extra chairs available because a family of 6 did not attend. I reviewed my wedding video and only 50 chairs where placed. Both of us are from Michigan so we knew the exact count of our guest.The wedding coordinator: Ms. Ruby was nice but that changed quickly. She was not very organized. I rented 2 flower girl baskets and ring pillow from the venue. She came to ask me where they are! I originally had 2 flower girls but one flower girl and her family of 6 didn’t make it. I had 2 packs of flower girl petals she only used 1/2 of 1 pack!My flowers ran out of flowers halfway down. At the reception there was no assigned sitting she was very rude at telling my guest to move.she once came back and told me that someone didn’t move. My expensive bottle of champagne was not on my table as promised. She didn’t do the mother son dance. At cake cutting time she asked me where my knife was? I rented them from the venue so she had to run around to find them. It was 9pm I was scheduled to take pictures with my outside vendors car (I found he was wonderful). We go out to take pictures while my guest partied. All of a sudden I see a group of people come outside I’m thinking they are watching us but Ms.Ruby told them that we were doing our sparkler send off and told everyone that it was time to go!She was telling people that “they” lock the gates at 10pm. My time slot was from 6pm-10pm she rushed my guest out at9:30pm!On top of that she had my sister and sister-in-law cleaning. I told them the next day that they weren’t supposed to clean. I was outraged!! A clipboard would’ve been helpful instead of asking me what I wanted to do next.STRESSFUL! After my wedding and honeymoon. I called and spoke with Mrs.Jackson about my concerns. She said that even though they provide and recommend the in house vendors listed on the website. That’s their set prices and the owners (Mr and Mrs Jackson) aren’t responsible for any monetary refund for the vendors services. She also offers me 50% off my next event that I would have to book within the next year. My thoughts are if you offer and provide services do not separate ownership from your business when the website list these services under Nakayshion’s not a separate vendors. I was told I had to seek a refund from the coordinator personally and they only apologized for the seating. Oh and bring forks if you have a cake you would think for the cost of the BEST package everything would be provided as I was explained I didn’t have to worry about anything. On the day of Ms. Ruby hid the forks behind the DJ b/c I didn’t bring them!I didn’t know! Venue beautiful but service and customer service not so good.

t is still talking about how beautiful everything was and how DJ Rockboy kept us on our feet. I will recommend this venue to anyone who looking to host any event. Thank you Nakayshions for a job well done.

a wedding here! Thank you loves! Y’all are the BEST!

ecial! Truly and all-inclusive experience.

g, party, reunion, anything! Great location and wonder staff. Thank you so much for making my day PERFECT!

to look at a venue that you won’t even host my event at. When I emailed them, I specified that we were a same sex couple, they responded saying they would love to talk about prices! It’s pretty simple to just say unfortunately we don’t accept same sex ceremonies. Instead they had me drive there, then tell me my date was booked( highly doubt it was) .. then give me a tour, tell me the prices and then follow it up with we are Christian based and don’t do same sex marriages, but if you want to do the reception, we can maybe do that. The gentleman was not rude, just disappointed you wasted my time! I would not even think about giving you my “gay” money for a reception lol.

ing above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. The actual day of our wedding was spectacular for the most part. Emmanuel was extremely helpful and kept a smile on his face while providing us with exceptional service. There were a few minor details that left us a little less than impressed. The bartender complained to our guest for having to serve the drinks in glassware not plastic as well as to the groom himself. We thought that was slightly tacky considering this was never an issue with the venue who hired them. Also the DJ left us a little bothered for two reasons, we had a special playlist for the wedding that we spent hours getting together. I'm pretty sure he didn't even have it on hand because he played 0 songs from it. The ceremony music and 1st dance song / bride\ father dance was fine. He also didn't announce our best man or maid of honor at the reception or us the newlyweds! And was gone by 10pm when our allotted time was until 11pm. Our last song of the night was played by some staff member who had hooked his phone up to the sound system. Some of our guests felt a little rushed out the door as well. We were asked to start picking up the event space at about 9:40pm to prepare for the last dance that was over an hour away. There were storms that night so that also played a factor, but we definitely did not get the venue to 11pm. Mrs. Ruby was helpful to us too! For the most part she helped keep the flow of things going. The overall experience was fantastic and highly recommend them if looking for an event space in the DFW area! Thanks so much Mr. and Mrs. Jackson for helping create our wedding vision, we can only hope to have our marriage be as successful as you alls!

service from Tyra throughout the planning process. The owners Mr. & Mrs. Jackson, were very hands on and made sure we were comfortable with our choices no matter how many times I changed my mind or visited them. The character and atmosphere of the Grand Ball Room was breathtaking on the day of our event. The assistance provided by Tyra throughout the entire day was excellent! Tyra communicated with our coordinator and myself to ensure we had EVERYTHING we needed. They truly made our dream come true. Our family and friends had a wonderful time. And most importantly, so did we. A Royal Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Jackson, Tyra and we cannot leave out the DJ Rockboy. If you are looking for a venue that has everything you need for any occasion, we HIGHLY recommend NaKayshions Wedding & Event Center. Sincerely, Mezzie & Tracy Lindsey, Sr

and a gorgeous Grand Hall. Im blessed to have stumbled on this hidden jewel.

d a photography place, had his aunt who own a cake business do us some amazing cakes for us, and we did the flowers ourselves. We thought it would be too hot to have our wedding outside in June but the day was absolutely amazing. They made sure everything ran smoothly where I didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day of. The food was delicious and the DJ played songs that all ages could enjoy. I don’t know how many compliments I received from people who attended my wedding about how much they enjoyed every aspect. I would highly recommend Nakayshions for any event. Trust me you won’t be disappointment.
