She assured me if I had any questions or wanted to meet up she’d be available and the day of our event she executed everything as we discussed. I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator! If you’re looking for a beautiful place to be married without having too many hassles and being stress free the day of please consider booking with them! 10 out of 10.

I 100% recommend.

ne laid eyes on the venue they instantly fell in love!
What’s more, the level of service we received from Rebecca, the onsite venue coordinator, was unmatched even by the most experienced wedding planners. I can honestly say if it wasn’t for the attention to detail and care and kindness we were shown by Ruthe Jackson Center, Rebecca, and other staff, our wedding would not have been as memorable and spectacular as it was.
RJC IS SO VERSATILE. Even though the original plan for an outdoor wedding had to be changed, Rebecca and their draping vendor did everything to make sure the theme of my event carried through in the way our ceremony space was set up inside.
If I could give Rebecca 1,000 stars, I would. She is such a joy to work with, has such a delightful personality and is always willing to answer questions, help, and goes above and beyond to find a solution to a problem you discuss with her even if it is not her role. I felt so taken care throughout the entire planning process and so did all of the vendors.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend RUTHE JACKSON CENTER. To me, it is THE BEST VENUE in the DFW area with a beautiful indoor and outdoor space. You will not regret you decision.
Thank you so much for everything you did for us on our wedding day, before, and after. You will ALWAYS hold a very special place in our hearts.
Lots of love for RJC!

ure that what we need was done. The venue is beautiful, we did an outdoor ceremony and then followed up with all the reception activities inside. The food options are abundant (Classic Buffet Meal) for all your guests, we got a lot of positive feedback on the fruit display and passed Hors d'oeuvres
during cocktail hour.
The indoor venue is spacious, we had a pianist playing during the cocktail hour and had a photo booth in the lobby as as well while comfortably seating 325+ guests in the reception area.
For the ladies, the bridal suite is everything! Lots of mirrors, space, and very modern. For the men, the suite isn't as fancy, but it's still very spacious with space to do a lot hanging out and lounging prior to the festivities. If weather permits, take advantage of the garden to take pictures, your guests will love it too.
Overall we highly recommend RJC as the place to host your special day!

xcept for renting the building. I found the Ruthe Jackson Center on google. I set an appointment to visit their venue. It was absolutely elegant and classy. Exactly what I wanted. I was assisted by Rebecca. Rebecca was very patient, a great listener and she was able to assist us in making our dream wedding come true. The Ruthe Jackson Center was a one stop shop for me. I refused to be a stressed out bride and they helped me accomplish that. Not only did they offer a beautiful venue, but I was able to get my catering with them (my now husband and I went in for a dinner tasting and it was amazing). We had our guests served by the staff, I am so glad that we chose this option. The venue also has a list of vendors that they work with frequently. This was a life saver! I chose our photographer (Avant Multimedia) and our entertainment (The Leonardo Group) from the list, oh yea and we chose the a bakery from their list to create our wedding and groom cake (CakeAholics). It really only took me about a month to complete all of the details. We also had the venue do our decorations. The ballroom is perfect the way it is and we didn't have to do much to it. Sometimes simple is better. I kept having people ask me if I was excited, well sometimes its hard to get excited when you are still busy getting all of the details together but all of that changed the day of my wedding. I walked into the venue and my mouth literally dropped! To see all of the small details come together and now I am witnessing the big picture, I literally could not contain myself. I was overjoyed! Everyone that we used did an amazing job. Rebecca was so attentive (I also used them as my coordinator) and responsive to our needs. The entire wedding from the day we signed our contract to the moment the reception was over was top notch. Everyone was professional, we could tell that they love what they do, and my guest are still raving about our wedding. What is really is exciting is that my now husband was more excited than I was. He knew some of the details but not all of them, so to see his face light up when he saw the ballroom was priceless. My husband had a great time dancing, laughing and just enjoying the moment. We definitely enjoyed our wedding day and we did not have to break the bank! Thank you Rebecca and Ruthe Jackson Center for making our day memorable.

Inside you find yourself in an enormous ballroom with tons of chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, absolutely stunning!

ally had a different venue booked originally, but four weeks before the wedding, that venue closed down unexpectedly. RJC came to the rescue, and in the end, I'm glad our first venue didn't work out, because RJC was a thousand times better. Despite having to change everything last minute because of the venue change, I felt entirely confident the whole time that Cheryl and the RJC team had everything under control. I was never once worried about the "what-ifs", because I knew that we were in excellent hands. Not only that, but the venue is gorgeous! The outdoor garden area is just perfect, and it felt like a fairy tale. And if that amazing bridal suite alone isn't enough to make you want to have your wedding here, I don't know what will!
If you haven't checked this place out yet, do it now. You will not regret it, I promise!

Thank you so much for your kind words.
We are always saddened by any situation that effe...
cts a bride and groom's memory of their "Best Day Ever". Our goal for you both, after hearing what had happened, was to make sure that we were able to do all we could to make your day and your memory all you could wish for!
It was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of your day.

Ruthe Jackson was amazing to work with! They listened to us and figured out everything that needed to be done for the big day! We didn’t have a wedding planner, we did everything o...
urselves but the coordinator at Ruthe Jackson really helped us along the way to let us know the do’s and don’ts for the days leading up to the big day as well. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and very spacious. We had about 260 people at the reception and it didn’t feel cramped or overcrowded in any way, even with not being able to go outside due to weather. Highly recommend it

My wife Whitney and I had an amazing experience at the Ruthe Jackson Center. Our wedding coordinator Karr Stewart was great as well. Anything that we wanted or needed they met thos...
e wants or needs without any questions asked. We followed all rules which led to us receiving our deposit back and had no problem with that either. Only thing that I was displeased with was that the doors that MY BRIDE was suppose to exit out of were not complete prior to our wedding like we were promised it would be but all other upgrades were complete.
Overall I would have another event at this venue without a hesitation because nothing in life is perfect.

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding! The staff at the Ruthe Jackson Center did such a great job on the day of the wedding and in the planning process as well. I’ve already rec...
ommended the RJC to someone getting married next year. This was a budget friendly option (you can play with the numbers for things like food and alcohol) that still allows you to have that wow factor that you want for your big day.

RJC is a special place for us. We were married almost a year ago and wanted to go back to take a few pictures in the beautiful garden and under the Spot we said our “I do’s” for so...
mething special on our 1 year Anniversary. Cheryl never hesitated in letting us come by. From the second we met Cheryl and her team we received top level service, here we are 2 years after choosing RJC and we still feel like family. The facility is not only beautiful and accommodating by having everything in one spot but I still want to go back sometimes just to eat the food! Holy YUM!
As our family grows this next year I can’t wait to share our updates with Cheryl and her team. They helped make the most important day of our lives perfect! And I can promise you, it was the BEST day! We will forever be thankful for that. Thank you, RJC!
