The Ballroom at Bayou Place

ing downtown views from the wrap around oversized balconies!! Craig and Stephanie were the icing on the cake! They are VERY ACCOMMODATING, so helpful and just simply amazing sweet people! Always willing to help with open arms and super quick with responses. We miss them and hope to work with them again in the future!

call yourself. How as a “successful” business person who has been doing this for “30” years not exceed the expectations of a bride? How do you not know that in weddings right AFTER the ceremony is when the bridal party takes pictures? If you say you’ve been doing this for “30 years” you should know how weddings work right? How do you not know it was going to be a “rolling black out” during the brides ceremony that indeed lasted an hour and a half if it was Centerpoints fault they do of course send emails or text DAYS IN ADVANCE TO LET YOU KNOW THOSE KIND OF THINGS ! SO WHY NOT CONTACT THE BRIDE AND LET HER KNOW? INSTEAD SHE HAD TO FIND OUT WHEN SHE CAME TO THE VENUE!!!! It just sounds to me like GREED for the love of money right? How can you sit up here and say only the low star rating reviews are lying when the reviews are the same from even 3-4 years ago? They all have to clearly have some truth in them! Simple FIX your elevator, DO NOT go back and forth with people who for one paid good money to be at your venue and then have the nerve to be upset that they are upset because YOU CRAIG DID NOT DELIVER WHAT YOU INSTATED IN A CONTRACT?!?! I’m beyond disappointed to even know you’re still running a business and are getting away with basically scamming these people out of money. That paid for your Bentley since your flexing that Barbie car of yours Do better ! And maybe you can have those 5 star reviews you long for. Hire a team to help you!! Your tarnishing an event coordinator a black woman at that basically saying you will black ball her name in the wedding industry. Saying you won’t work with happy couples who decide to work with her. That your going to turn away their business all because she stated her honest opinion about your establishment and you just decide to be disrespectful and dangle your little connections to weddings against her? You wouldn’t do that to someone else not of color though…..JUST SAYING! That’s sad and beyond disgusting. The name dropping and calling PAYING CUSTOMERS LIARS is BEYOND me. It sounds Like you owe these people some money for not delivering what you promised. Why does a bride have to chase you down? When this is YOUR business? Why does she have to remind you what’s in their contract YOU created. The math isn’t adding up and your contradicting yourself. So if your considering this place as a wedding venue THINK TWICE AND PICK SOMEWHERE ELSE IT WILL SAVE YOU THE HEADACHE AND STRESS AND NIGHTMARE THIS BEAUTIFUL NEWLY WEDDED COUPLE HAD TO GO THROUGH.

t out of their way to make sure our day was as beautiful and special as we had dreamed it. From the décor, to the flowers, to the food, and managing all the unexpected, we couldn't have imagined our wedding any place else. A huge thank you to Craig, Kirksey, and their team for working with us to make our wedding was the best day of our lives!"

ne is worth a 5 star rating, but I can't say enough or give a high enough rating or referral for the owner, Craig Howard, and his phenomenal staff. Craig worked with our budget parameters and went above and beyond to ensure our guests were greeted with a beautifully decorated room (special thanks to Kirksey Gregg Productions), delicious food and impeccable service. From set up, to bar and food service, to take down, they were there to assist and felt like friends in the end. Special thanks to Mike who was with us on event day from beginning to end paying close attention to every detail and working hard to ensure we had everything we needed. Talk about above and beyond: We lost our DJ last minute and Stephanie (Craig's sweet wife) made a call to DJ Freddy (fantastic) and had him scheduled for us! Our gala team, SML staff and parents are all raving about this being the best experience ever and highly suggest The Ballroom at Bayou Place.
