The Adolphus

We had our wedding at the Adolphus, and five stars is not enough to recognize them for all that they did to make it the best weekend of our lives! The entire year-long planning process was incredibly simple thanks to Blaine and Ana. And the wedding itself exceeded our expectations! -Hotel rooms are incredible. Not only are they stunning, but the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable and you can actually control the AC to your liking!! (Our pet peeve is when hotels have it centrally controlled so you can't ever seem to cool down the room.) -Dan the concierge is so wonderful and helpful for anything you need during your stay or wedding weekend. -Pedro and Edgar, among so many others, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. -The wedding food was incredible! Our guests raved about it. Not only was the quality and attention to detail there, but service was also premier. -So many perks are included if you choose to use them, like the chairs, stage riser, linens, etc. Of course, you can always upgrade, but we appreciated the option and took advantage of several of the things they offered. -The private dinner they set up for us as the bride and groom before we entered the reception was so intimate and special. -The way our wedding night suite was turned down was so thoughtful. From roses and robes to extra slices of our cake and late-night food paired with a bottle of champagne - no detail was left unturned. It's hard to put into words all the things the Adolphus team did to make our wedding a dream come true. No task was too small, no question was too silly, they truly made myself, my husband, our family and guests feel like we were there number one priority the entire weekend. Every staff member we came in contact with was SO positive and fully aware of our wedding and the details without us having to explain a thing. I know I'm forgetting so many big and little things the Adolphus did, but all this to say, anyone who is considering the Adolphus for their wedding should absolutely choose them. We'll forever hold a special place in our hearts for this venue and the people who made our day one we'll never forget. We'll never be able to thank them enough!!

I cannot express how THRILLED we were with our decision to choose the Adolphus for our wedding! From the moment we stepped on site, we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The picturesque setting of Adolphus is nothing short of magical. The historic-meets-modern architecture provided an exquisite backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Anna and Blaine were outstanding! From the initial planning stages to the execution on the day of the wedding, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Anna worked closely with us, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. Their expertise and experience were evident throughout the entire process, putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. The personal server for my husband and I throughout the reception was extremely attentive to our needs. As you can imagine, the day was very busy. He helped ensure we were taken care of and always had a glass of wine in hand :) The chef and catering team deserve special recognition for providing a culinary experience that exceeded our expectations (it’s worth noting we are picky eaters!). The menu was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The attention to dietary restrictions and preferences was commendable, ensuring that all our guests felt catered to. AND THE SPA! WOW - WHAT SERVICE. Myself, and the bridal crew had our hair/make-up done at the spa day-of. We had a full day of pampering, champagne, and memories leading up to the special celebration. Joseph went above-and-beyond to make everything incredible. His attention to small details helped pull everything together…Example- When getting everything booked I complimented a large flower vase in the main spa lobby, and mentioned I thought it was very beautiful. When the big day arrived he arranged to have the same vase brought into the spa bridal suite day of. This is only one of many examples of his excellent customer service and care for clients. Our experience at Adolphus was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of a stunning venue, exceptional staff, and unparalleled service made our wedding day TRULY magical. We are grateful to the entire team for their dedication and hard work in making our dream wedding a reality. If you're looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, look no further than The Aldolphus– it's a gem that will make your special day absolutely unforgettable!

My 80th Birthday Weekend Experience at The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas: First of all, Blaine Eads and Jillian Oswalt at The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas are a Great Sales Team aka a Great Care Team!!!! The ways that they cared about us personally and about My 80th Birthday Event Weekend and the way that they both represented The Adolphus are such major reasons why we chose this venue!! It was indeed an AMAZING weekend in so many ways that we know and in other ways that we may never know and/or we may find out later. We are SO grateful for what Jillian, Blaine and all their supporting staffs did to bless us and this special group of people that we love!! All our guests expressed over and over what wonderful time that they had and how much they enjoyed the food and the entire weekend!! All the guest rooms were so nice. The food at each event was great and the Governor’s Ballroom, (the site of My Birthday Party Dinner) was over the top beautiful. The Sam Rayburn Ballroom was the perfect space for our welcome dinner and farewell breakfast. And finally, the 19th Floor 3 room suite was luxurious! Our grand kids really loved it as did other family members who came up for visits. We wish that we knew all the names and could personally thank each and every person at the Adolphus who worked on My 80th Birthday Weekend!! No doubt that there were "many behind the scenes people" who blessed and served us and our friends and family in many ways all weekend!! So here's a BIG General but heartfelt THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY at The Adolphus who was a part of our special celebration weekend!!

The staff working at the Adolphus is the best of the best. When I first became engaged over Thanksgiving weekend, I immediately sent emails to multiple venues, hoping to quickly schedule tours and start the planning process. Unlike other venues who didn’t respond for a week or more, Blaine Eads responded within 48 hours. From day one, she impressed me. She always made me feel like a priority even though she had many other events to handle. During our first tour, it was the weekend of the Christmas parade and the Adolphus had 5 wedding that weekend. Even with those competing priorities, she dedicated time to my mother, fiancé, and I for our tour. The tour itself left no question in my mind that this was my venue. She showed us around the hotel, knowledgably explaining it’s history and what our wedding day would be like. By the time we made it to the Century Ballroom, the whole experience had been breathe-taking and I started crying because I knew I wanted to marry my husband there. Even though I knew that this was my venue, I still wanted to show my father before finalizing and Blaine quickly set up a second tour. My father, a lawyer, can sometimes come across as intimidating with the amount of questions he asks, but Blaine expertly answered all of them and left us assured the Adolphus was where we should spend the most important day of our lives. After signing the contract, Ana Pro, the Catering Service Manager, became our main point of contact. Throughout the planning process, I would have been lost if it wasn’t for her. She was extremely accommodating and supported us every step of the way. Her knowledge and responsiveness ensured we received all the information we needed to properly plan our dream day. She provided pictures of past weddings and recommendations on additional resources such as an app on how to stage your wedding. As we approached the actual date of our wedding, her walkthrough of the event with us and the extremely detailed order of events she provided left us feeling fully prepared for the upcoming day. Her organization and focus on ensuring we had the best day of our lives left us feeling secure. On the day of our wedding, December 16, the Adolphus shined from the beautiful holiday decorations. The ballroom and adjacent hallways were adorned with wreathes, Christmas trees, and holiday accents that added an extra layer of elegance. She and her team went above and beyond in accommodating some last-minute requests we had to add trees, elegant crystal gold stems, and even re-organize furniture. We had a custom sign made and they situated a couch underneath it so that our guest could take pictures. It was evident that she and her staff cared about us. As an additional demonstration of how much they cared, Ana and Blaine handwrote Christmas cards to us both years and even gave us an Adolphus Ornament. After the wedding, we stayed at the venue a couple of extra days as a mini-honeymoon. At one point, we quickly stopped into the shop on the first floor. When the associate found out that we were one of the weddings from the weekend, she gave us a complimentary candle. The whole staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel special. Kevin and I are extremely grateful for the memorable and stunning wedding day the Adolphus helped create for us! Ana Pro - thank you for your hard work and your assistance throughout this crazy process! Blaine Eads – thank you so much for helping us get the venue and our date. I am so happy to be an Adolphus Bride!!!

Choosing The Adolphus as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made! 7 months post-wedding and we are still talking about how excellent the service was throughout. Starting from the Catering team Blaine and Ana; we met Blaine when we toured The Adolphus, she was super friendly and helpful and answered all of our questions. Then, we worked closely with Ana to plan our menu and the logistics of our wedding. Both Ana and Blaine were always responsive and patient through the entire planning process. The bell man, Pedro, was super attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed during the weekend and especially the day of. He arranged a hotel car to pick us up from our hair appointments, and ran errands as needed. Our butler, Edgar, made sure that we were taken care of the whole night of the wedding: drinks, food, trips to the room to put away things or bring things back. The day of the wedding, the team worked very well with our wedding planner and were very accommodating. We chose the buffet option and they set it all up outside of the ballroom with two separate stations of the same menu, making it easy and fast for guests to get their own meals. The food! Man, oh man, we are still getting compliments on the food and the dessert. Shoutout to John, the chef, for making such a memorable meal. I have received nothing but compliments and positive comments on how attentive the entire staff was, from bartenders to waiters. Having our wedding at The Adolphus was well worth it; Everything was just incredible! They made our wedding day so worry-free and special… I could keep writing because I have plenty more good things to say about The Adolphus team.

Awesome experience with the Adolphus for our wedding ceremony & reception! We had our ceremony on the 19th floor and reception in the Century Ballroom and we received so many compliments regarding the food, catering staff and feel of "vacation", in addition to just how beautiful to hotel and wedding rooms were set up. Big shout out to Ana & Blaine for all their help throughout our process :)

We were thrilled with the Adolphus for our wedding reception. Blaine and the team were great to work with and the food was amazing. Thank you! We would recommend to anyone looking to have their wedding at the Adolphus.

Our son's rehearsal dinner in the Governor's Ballroom at the Adolphus was top-notch! We received many compliments from guests about the food, ballroom, hotel and service. The welcome party afterwards in the Lobby Bar was great fun. Ana, Blaine and the team made the planning so easy and the event so truly memorable.

Our wedding at The Adolphus was nothing short of a dream and we are so thankful to Avery and Paula for the role they played in making the weekend so special! We had our ceremony in the 19th Floor Ballroom and our reception in the Grand Ballroom. There were two other weddings at the hotel that night, but I hardly even noticed because the hotel staff was so organized and executed the event so smoothly. Our guests were blown away by the hotel and all its wonderful amenities. You truly can't beat the convenience of having amazing bars & restaurants, the spa, barber shop, coffee shop, pool, and gorgeous getting ready suites all in one location for your wedding weekend - we were so happy that we got to spend minimal time traveling to different locations and more time visiting with each other and with family. Our guests also loved being in such close walking distance to all the places of interest in downtown Dallas. Everyone at the hotel treated us like royalty and it made the wedding that much more fun and special. We were so sad to leave and can't wait to have an excuse to come back to stay at The Adolphus - if you're looking for elegance, convenience, history, and world-class service, The Adolphus is your wedding venue!

Many thanks to Paula and her team for our amazing wedding in the 19th Floor Ballroom @ The Adolphus hotel. My guests are still talking about the amazing food, gorgeous place settings, and top notch service. My partner and I also could not have been happier all around with how our event went off without a hitch. Thanks again, Paula and team!

The Adolphus made planning and our wedding incredible. They are a first class hotel all around and our experience really reflects that. We had an excellent tour through all their facilities and amenities. It is an absolute, historic gem in the city of Dallas. They truly think of everything in their wedding package. Their wedding liaisons were wonderful to work with and communicate with. They are incredibly responsive and are very transparent with questions about capabilities of the venue. Paula was especially professional and helpful! We really enjoyed that it was an all-inclusive venue from lodging, to a beautiful ceremony and reception space, excellent food, getaway car, and even the cake. They are experts at weddings and even constructed time during our wedding day just for my husband and I (private time during the cocktail hour and a special last dance by ourselves). All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed how beautiful the hotel is and everyone that stayed there loved it. It was a really nice staycation for in-town guests and a nice haven for travelers. We got ready for the wedding in one of the suites and it was exceptional. It was the most beautiful hotel rooms I've ever been in and had plenty of space for all of my bridesmaids and H&MU artists to spread out. All of the food at the wedding was incredible and we even had a brunch there the morning after the wedding that was delicious as well. They made wedding planning a fun and enjoyable experience and gave us a beautiful wedding of our dreams. We can't wait to visit regularly and spend a few anniversary staycations there!

I love everything about The Adolphus! The setting was beautiful and the food was divine. My only critique (which I think COVID played a big role in) was that we had to reiterate a few things with Paula more than once. However, the event manager we started with (Avery) was amazing! Paula was very sweet and professional, but we had to redo our cost estimates and BEOs a few times.

The Adolphus provided us the best service and was the perfect location for our ceremony and reception. We had a wedding butler who took care of me and my husband as well as our parents. We were treated like royalty and they were so easy to work with. When we did our menu tasting, we were able to speak directly to the chef about our preferences and the food was delicious!

We had our ceremony and reception in the 19th floor ballroom and it's a beautiful space! the food was AMAZING-everyone raved about it all night. Avery was super sweet although response time via email can be a bit slow if you call her shes totally willing to answer any questions and is quick to resolve any issues. I mean this venue has back to back weddings and she is the only coordinator so shes super busy I'm sure! I will also say the front desk/who ever is in charge of booking rooms was not on top of things. even upon arrival to check in they just seemed very confused. they double booked our suites for the night before our wedding....granted we were given better suites to make up for it but it caused a huge headache the next day. my bridesmaids we just finishing hair and makeup ready for pictures and we then had to pack up and switch rooms. this cut into our photo time which bummed me out. however, they guys working at the hotel that helped us move really did their best to speed things up. half way through the reception our new room keys stopped working as a result of another mistake made by the front desk. Avery stepped in though and corrected the issue immediately. overall it was a beautiful wedding minus a few hiccups. zero guests wether they were there just for the evening or staying the night had a negative experience and enjoyed everything.

The Adolphus' recent renovations were are beautifully done and it would be tough to find a more elegant venue than their grand ballroom. With that being said, we did have some trouble getting timely responses from their representatives and they tended to "surprise" us in ways that weren't always appreciated. For example, they often had trouble keeping the escalators/elevators working which was a bit disappointing since some of our guests were older and have trouble doing stairs. We also had multiple instances where what had been discussed in a meeting was seemingly forgotten and we would have to remind them of decisions that had already been confirmed for menu options, beverage packages, etc. However, if you are looking for a beautiful venue in the heart of Dallas with amazing food and top notch pastry chefs the Adolphus should definitely be considered. Hopefully they are able to get a better fix on their elevators/escalators and their new staff are able to settle into their roles in the coming months. Other than the broken escalator on the day of the wedding, everything was absolutely perfect and they did a great job taking care of us and our guests and if we could relive it again I would still go with the Adolphus. Lastly, Augustine was our wedding butler during the reception and he was fantastic! If you are lucky enough to work with him, definitely count your blessings!

Had my wedding at the Adolphus October 2017 and the experience was just okay. My sister had her guests stay at the Adolphus for her wedding and the service was unmatched. Sadly, we had quiet a few issues. First, we were promised the renovations would be completed and they weren't. When we asked multiple times about the progress we were told "Oh yeah, its on track." It was not, and guests were brought in through the parking garage, instead of the entrance which was part of why we booked there. Just would have appreciated honesty instead of the shock of finding out after the ceremony that this course of action was decided without us being informed. Booking hotel rooms for guests was nothing less than babysitting and consisted of me having to repeatedly call to open up more rooms. If we filled up our room block guests were told we didn't have any more rooms which created some guests getting rooms at another hotel. Opening more rooms up was a complete nightmare of being passed around for days for someone to be able to assist me. This was never the case with my sister's wedding. My wedding coordinator gave her notice to leave the hotel the week of the wedding and was then asked to leave. Understand these things happen, however, the new coordinator- I kid you not - showed up at the reception to introduce herself after we had been trying to contact her all weekend. We had room service in the suite for the bridal party to get ready and they were a joy to have. Food was fantastic and they always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. Top notch service all around. Biggest cluster was having so many elevators break down. It took guest upwards of 30 minutes. The bridal party was late to the ceremony purely from waiting on elevators, so we had to RUSH to get through photos. This is where the MIA wedding coordinator would have been helpful, because we found out a maid saw the grooms party waiting and took them down a service elevator so they wouldn't be late. Valet was a complete joke. My MIL was 20 mins late to the rehearsal because she waited 45 mins for her car. We had guests late to the ceremony because of this, and one had their car damaged and it took 6 months to get it sorted out. Food was amazing and we still have guest comment on it. Waiters were amazing and so nice. Pretty bummed to see instagram photos of weddings where they are allowed sparklers for the exit because we were told no. Also, when brides are allowed bridal portraits throughout the hotel, because we were told we could only take them in the grand ballroom. Overall, not worth the money. Kills me to hear the level of service, support, and flexibility other brides got at other venues in the area that were actually less expensive.

We could not speak more highly of our entire experience with Sandy Howe, and The Adolphus as a whole. We checked out every beautiful downtown Dallas hotel, and immediately knew the Adolphus was the one after meeting Sandy, and seeing the beautiful facility. 1) They are 100% flexible to work with you and your budget. We did a day reception, and they catered to every request around that. 2) Sandy is the absolute most responsive professional I have ever worked with. She truly made me feel as if we were her only couple she was working with. 3) The honeymoon suite was over the top gorgeous! 4) The facilities allow for so much space and flexibility, with multiple bars and lounge areas. 5) A one-of-a-kind thing they did for us we absolutely loved was they had 30 minutes for just us to enjoy dinner together, before walking into our reception. It allowed us to enjoy our meal, have a moment in private, and reflect on the day together. 6) They provide you with a butler to assist you all throughout the day, it's fabulous! The Adolphus is truly a 5-star hotel and event center, with 6-star service! Thank you Sandy!!

I have literally dreamed of a wedding at the adolphus and based on reviews was excited to start planning However my experience was very different I spoke with Paula explained I would just be having my reception and my budget was $30.000 for 250 people and ask for if she could help me stay within that I was excited to see what she worked up for me she sent a estimate $67.000 I was confused so I went over it and tried to make changes and she was annoyed with me when I ask to take the valet off she added charges that none of the other brides I spoke too where ask to pay like $1100.00 for cake cutting and a various charges and when I questioned her she suddenly told me my date was not available I wish I could have worked with them because it was my dream venue however Paula's attitude made me concerned she would ruin my wedding

My now husband and I had our wedding at The Adolphus in March 2017. This hotel and its staff were amazing! Their customer service is unmatched. We worked with Terri Hahn who was an absolute delight. She took such good care of us throughout the entire process. Every single member of the team was phenomenal from the check-in team, to the servers, to the gentleman who stayed with my husband and I throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed - this team is full of rock stars. We are forever grateful how well Terri and her team took care of us on our special day. Thank you a million times over for being a critical part of our fairy tale and making our dreams come true.

The Adolphus exceeded my expectations! I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding reception. They did amazing job with everything. My husband and I were SO happy along with all of our guests. They were so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, and the day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Terri Hahn was our event specialist there and she is the example of a perfect employee. She was always quick to respond to e-mails and was easy to find and talk to throughout the entire wedding day. One of our favorite parts of the reception was the food. We have had multiple people come to us and say it was the best "wedding food" they have had. We had a butler follow us around for night ready to take care of any needs we had as well. The guests raved about the newly updated rooms. The bridal suite is incredible and gives you PLENTY of room and space for you and your bridesmaids to get ready. The room is beautiful! If you are in need of a reception venue, The Adolphus is the place for you! You will NOT be disappointed.

My husband and I held our wedding at the Adolphus at the end of October and were absolutely thrilled with the experience. We were exceptionally well taken care of by our personal butler, who kept us well fed and the champagne flowing throughout the night. The staff was incredibly accommodating and succeeded in keeping the wedding flowing smoothly from cocktail hour to the last dance. The food was exceptionally prepared and enabled us to host a truly Texas style yet still elegant spread. The short ribs in particular were a stand out hit. I loved absolutely everything about having the wedding at the Adolphus. The staff and facilities are first rate. The location is incredibly convenient and enables your guests to stay right in the thick of downtown Dallas - walkable to the Kennedy museum, the DMA, and the Kyle Warren Park.

I can’t imagine having our reception anywhere other than the Adolphus. Everything was executed to PERFECTION. The planning process and tastings were very enjoyable with Jessica. My bridemaids and I stayed in the Queen Elizabeth suite the night before—that room is unreal. We were treated like princesses the whole time. Our guests that stayed at the hotel said the same thing. And the day of the wedding… WOW. Andrew and I showed up for the reception and were immediately (and unexpectedly) greeted by Augustine. Augustine and the rest of the staff catered to our every need all evening. They fixed us plates (made sure that we actually got to eat), kept the tables clean and drinks refilled, and Augustine carried around my lip-gloss for me all evening. The level of personal service and attention to detail was exceptional. And the food… best I have ever had! I wish I could eat those mini beef wellingtons for every meal. Andrew and I look forward to spending our anniversaries and other special occasions at the Adolphus!

The event coordinator made everything easy and provided a great price for our wedding guests. They handed out all the welcome bags and even made room for some last minute bookers.

I looked at almost every venue in Dallas, and was torn where to have my wedding. I chose the Adolphus Hotel based on cost, customer service and the overall look I wanted to achieve. Of all my vendors, this is the one, I can say hands down was absolutely perfect! I found a little fault with each vendor, but there were absolutely no faults with the Adolphus. Terri Hahn was amazing to work with and was able to carry out exactly the look and vibe I wanted for my wedding! Marcus Streziel was a fabulous chef and served increbily delicious courses. Everyone raved about how beautiful my wedding was and how delicous the food was. The guests that stayed at the hotel loved the accommodations. The customer service was top notch and far exceeded my expectations. I even had a butler that carried my lipstick, shoes, powder and kept refilling my drink before it was even empty. I would recommend the Adolphus to anyone . . . it was PERFECT!!!!

My husband and I chose this hotel for our wedding and reception because it came so highly recommended by other vendors we spoke to as soon as we mentioned that we wanted an upscale glamorous wedding. Not only did the venue's brilliance meet our expectations, but Paula, the director of catering, ensured that every detail involving all the vendors went perfectly. It also will accommodate over 250 guest comfortably, which the other upscale hotels in Dallas could not handle. Nearly every guest noted to us that the rooms were amazing, that the food was delicious, and that the ceremony was stunning. If we had it to do all over again, I would not have changed a thing. In fact, my husband and I are looking at spending our anniversary at the hotel with dinner in the French Room.

I can't say enough about how amazing my reception at the Adolphus was! The staff were not only professional and friendly, but they made sure my night went off without a hitch. The wedding coordinator, Jessica Cates, put all the wedding details both large and small together, and made my reception a dream come true! She was a HUGE help and I am so lucky I met her! My guests were raving about the venue and about how delicious the food was. My groom and I were taken care of the whole night, including always having our champagne glasses filled. The staff even made sure we had the top layer of our cake to take home with us. I'm so honored to have had my reception here and I can't wait to go back and stay at the hotel again in the future. I would definitely recommend the Adolphus for your wedding reception or any event really!

When we first stepped into the Adolphus Grand Ballroom, we had a reaction. A knowing: this is it. It reminded us of romantic ballrooms in grand ships ...like the Titanic! The old world charm captured our senses. The ornately painted heavenly blue ceiling felt like we were outside under the stars in a magical place. It was perfect. The Adolphus staff was equally impressive. They were so easy to deal with and you could see that they've done this before and all would be under control. And it was. The food was to die for. They also made the delicious champagne flavored cake with fresh strawberries, looking exaclty like I'd imagined. We had our very own bridal butler, Augustine, who guided us through the entore night. We had so much fun! Then, we were blown away when we got to our beautiful bridal suite, and in the morning, we had the best breakfast ever, and a late checkout so we could head off to Hawaii!

I began my search for wedding venues in Uptown and made the rounds to all of the obvious choices: The Mansion, Arlington Hall at Lee Park, The Crescent and finally, The Adolphus. We knew we had found just the right space and the right price. We began working with Terri to create our wedding day. She was so pleasant and an absolute dream to work with. From the menu tasting to the meeting the week before – planning was a breeze with Terri. We were able to create a custom menu and drinks - pretty much anything we could think of, they were willing to accommodate. When it came down to the day, Terri and her staff remained on top of every little detail - they even steamed some wrinkled linens for us. I went down to check on things before the guest arrived and all of the vendors had arrived, checked in with Terri and had completely set up without a hitch. Our guests went on and on about how gorgeous the hotel was, how incredible the food was (do a traditional 5 course sit down dinner and you will NOT be disappointed) and how fabulous the wait service was. Terri was creative and so effective in translating our vision into a wonderful night. (And after she couldn't find my toss bouquet for the night, Terri made one of the floral arrangements in the foyer and I never realized anything had gone wrong - my mom told me AFTER we got back from our honeymoon!) Another staff member we received exceptional service from was Augustine, a personal assistant of sorts. Augustine has worked with the hotel for 20+ years and from the moment stepped out of the ceremony until we were set in our suite for the night, he was waiting by our sides to make us comfortable. He went with us outside for photos, carrying my train across the hotel and helping our photographers. He kept a full champagne glass waiting for me all night and he even went to the downstairs bar to get my husband a specific cocktail he had requested. When we went to have a moment to ourselves before the reception, I panicked because my maid of honor wasn’t there to bustle my dress for the first dance. Augustine informed me that he’d bustled a dress or two in his long career with the Adolphus and perfectly bustled my wedding gown for me. After dinner, he let us know that the cake cutting was coming up and reminded me that I needed to reapply my lip gloss before photos (what a life saver!) – and when I went to grab my purse, he already had it and was ready to escort me to the ladies room. He was AMAZING. After the wedding send off, he escorted us to our suite, where the hotel had sent up all of our gifts, champagne and cake and made sure we were all set for the night. Augustine even went back downstairs for us to get my husband’s bag from his parents for us. We were very well cared for all night. The amazing service more than made up for any minor issues we may have encountered, which included that some of our guest initially had problems booking under our wedding block and were told that it did not exist, which was a little frustrating but was quickly remedied. The Adolphus works so well with so many wedding vendors that every other company that we hired were thrilled to be working with the Adolphus again. It's a beautiful hotel with an amazing staff and we're so glad we chose them to host our big day!

I simply can not imagine another venue to have your wedding reception at. Everything was perfect from the planning process, ambiance, hospitality and more. Everyone at The Adolphus was kind and wanted to make everyone minute of your stay memorable. Guests were talking about the reception long after it was over.

The Adolphus team made Michael(our daughter) and Scott’s wedding ceremony and reception such an unforgettable evening. We received innumerable comments on what a joyous occasion it was. The food and service received rave reviews. Augustine, the butler assigned to the bride & groom for the evening, proved to be all that had been promised and more! He certainly contributed to making the evening memorable for the bride and groom as well as Cathey and me. Finally, Jessica Furlow, our wedding planer from The Adolphus; her knowledge, guidance, patience, experience, and especially good humor helped us through all the ups and downs of planning and executing a warm, magical, fun filled celebration. Almost every comment we received, whether by note or in person, mentioned how perfectly all the details of the evening were managed. Thanks to The Adolphus our daughter's wedding was truly an outstanding fun-filled event.

The service and staff is absolutely superb. All of our guests enjoyed the service received by the staffs and enjoyed the food from the wedding. Adolphus has made our wedding dreams come true.

First off, I could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding this past April. It was everything I could have dreamed of and more. Seriously. As an out-of-town bride from Chicago, my primary requirement was that I would find a venue that could take care of everything and anything that I would need. I was able to fully trust the Adolphus wedding planner (Jessica Furlow) with every detail of our wedding. She truly took care of us and literally saved my sanity! I didn’t have to worry about a thing and for me that was the most valuable service the Adolphus provided. She was able to transform my ideas into a reality and I couldn’t have asked for better service. Obviously, if you have ever seen a picture or visited the hotel, you will note that the atmosphere is exceptional. It was definitely the classy/eloquent vibe I was looking for. The most beautiful venue I toured (and believe me, I toured almost all of the potential locations in Dallas). From the minute guests check-in to the hotel, they are greeted with exceptional customer service and that only continued through our wedding. The ballroom was absolutely amazing and was the perfect size for our guest list of 200. It was easily transformed into our customized wedding theme and felt like it was built just for us. The food was incredible and to this day, I still get compliments from the guests about the gourmet macaroni and cheese. And yes. I had macaroni and cheese at our wedding and it was classy. As a picky eater, I was extremely pleased with the food and enjoyed knowing that everyone else was impressed too without having to spend an arm and a leg for it. Other wonderful features this hotel provides are the private room before hand that is just for the bride and groom to eat and regroup before the reception. They even provided me with a personal assistant so to speak that got me food and drink throughout the evening and even helped with my bustle. The bridal suite room was literally bigger than my apartment and was a wonderful retreat. I mean, the level of customer service is outstanding and I truly couldn’t have asked for more. All in all, we were able to work with the Adolphus to create our dream wedding while staying within our budget (which my now husband was most concerned with). The attention to detail is incredible and I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone that I can. It was the best day of my life and I know I have the Adolphus to thank for that. A perfect Happily Ever After.

I loved the Adolphus Hotel for my wedding reception. The hotel had such an old, antique, and classic look. I had my bridal photos taken there and they were superb. The staff at the Adolphus were great. They remembered every detail and kept the flow of the reception. You should really look into this hotel because they truly make you feel like you are in a fairytale.

My wedding at the Adolphus was more fabulous than I could have imagined! The staff is unbelievable and the hotel is absolutely beautiful. Everyone waited on me hand and foot the whole weekend and made the experience as enjoyable and stess-free as possible for me and my family. All my family and friends had so many great things to say about the service, the wonderful food, and the overall atmosphere. Thank you Adolphus! We will keep coming back every year!

Dear Adolphus Team, Without reservation it has been an extreme delight to work with The Adolphus in Dallas for our daughter Sara's wedding in April of next year. Granted we just started organizing this momentous event and needless to say today we placed a reservation deposit with Jessica. Our Church is located in the Park Cities area so we wanted someplace close. After we met with The Ritz Carlton, The Mansion on Turtle Creek and The Crescent, it was evident that Jessica Furlow and The Adolphus was to be our location for Sara's wedding reception.We could have chosen any of these venues, however from the first time we met Jessica, and she made us feel at home instantly. Her warm smile and can do attitude should be treasured by your organization as I’m sure it is. You are very fortunate to have her on your team. We truly look forward to working with Jessica and the Adolphus in the next few months. If you are a Father or Mother please know that this is a trying time when your baby is leaving the nest. My comfort is Jessica being by our side in this process. Thank you for having such a beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. Sincerely, The Ballard’s

When we began looking for venues to have our wedding reception, I had a few "must haves" in my mind. I really wanted a place that was already beautifully decorated, offered five star service, and had a room where we could hold all of our guests (about 300 people). Not only did the Adolphus have a room big enough to accommodate our number of guests, but the room was BEAUTIFUL...it took my breath away. After seeing it only one time, I knew that was where I wanted my wedding to take place. After putting our deposit down, all of the planning began. My Mom and I did not have a wedding planner so we knew we would have to rely on the wedding coordinator at the Adolphus, Paula Fenner. From day one, she ALWAYS greeted us with a smile, responded to our thousands of questions as if I was her ONLY bride, and helped us get in contact with the most AMAZING vendors. At this point, I knew that the Adolphus was going to have five star service and that they were going to make sure I had the wedding I had always dreamed of. The BIG DAY was finally here and I wanted all of the bridesmaids, mothers, and myself to have a place at the Adolphus to get our makeup and hair done for the wedding. Paula gave us the most beautiful suite with a HUGE terrace and TONS of space so that we could all be together in one big room. It was amazing! Then, after the ceremony was over and my husband and I got back to the Adolphus from the church, Paula and her TOP GUY, Augustine (he was our personal butler for the night) greeted us with a glass of champagne and took us into a special candlelit room with rose petals and a table set for two, so that we could have our dinner BEFORE going into the reception (my biggest piece of advice to ALL of you is to please make sure you eat BEFORE you greet your guests otherwise you wont have time). This was AMAZING! We felt so special and had a moment for just the two of us newlyweds before entering the party. The food was to die for DELICIOUS and everything they had promised us at the food tasting! As we made our grand entrance, my jaw dropped at how BEAUTIFUL the room was. From the lighting, to the linens, to the place settings, top to bottom the room was like a dream! Augustine took service to a whole new level. The whole night he made sure our drinks were never empty, he took care of our parents and grandparents, and always had my powder and lipgloss ready so I could reapply. Both he and Paula kept us on track with all of the different events going on (the first dances, cake cutting, toasts, etc.). At the end of the night our guests tossed rose petals at us as we made our big exit. Paula had a BEAUTIFUL horse and carriage waiting for us which was so special. After the ride, Augustine met us in the back entrance of the Adolphus and escorted us to our Honeymoon Suite where he had a bottle of champagne for us and two HUGE slices of each of our cakes. They also had chocolate covered strawberries on a plate with a note of congratulations for us. It was so very special. The entire night felt like I was floating on a cloud as if it were all a dream. It was so unbelievably BEAUTIFUL-all I could ever want from a wedding and MORE. And to top it all off, they also brought us a gourmet breakfast the next morning! If you are looking for a place with five star service that will accommodate your every need and make sure that you have the wedding you have always dreamed of, you should consider the Adolphus. You will NOT be disappointed!

I chose the Adolphus because of it's beatiful, historical building and features as well as its prime location in the heart of downtown Dallas. Our wedding coordinator, Paula Fenner, was absolutely amazing! She was ALWAYS easy to get a hold of, was more than accommodating to any need or request I made as far as decorations, food, or ambiance went, and she was so helpful in making sure the rehearsal went smoothly and in an organized fashion. Every time I walked into the Adolphus I was always greeted by name and if I had any questions they were always answered. The food was excellent, service wonderful, and all of our guests couldn't stop telling us how gorgeous everything looked and how fancy and fun the reception was. All the details were perfectly aligned as I specified/requested. My only complaints were that our photographer was rushed so we missed some important large group family photos with my in-laws (LOTS of cousins came in from out of town), and they accidentally broke my grandparent's 60 yr. old cake topper we used on my cake. They were very apologetic and did their best to make up for their honest mistake/accident. Our suite was amazing and we loved our complimentary breakfast for two. When we got back to our room from the horse-drawn carriage ride we had champagne and leftover cake waiting for us--yum! We can't wait to go back and visit on our one-year anniversary. For old-world, old-fashioned charm, grace and service choose the Adolphus!
