I can't say enough amazing things about our wedding weekend at the Joule!! Everything went absolutely PERFECTLY and the Joule Hotel was hands down the BEST place for our wedding. Everyone at the Joule from the valets, to the front desk, to the service staff, to the culinary team, to the sales and banquet staff were extremely kind, personable, communicative and accommodating. Everyone truly gave us the royal treatment and we felt like the only guests at the hotel the entire weekend!!
Our ceremony and cocktail hour were on the rooftop terrace and our reception was in the Fortnight ballroom. Both spaces looked absolutely beautiful and THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!! The culinary team did a fabulous job preparing and executing the apps and meals we chose at our tasting and many people commented on how wonderful the food was! Many compliments to the food and beverage team and banquet staff!! The consistency and quality was excellent.
We loved that the Joule provided so many aspects of event that we otherwise would have had to bring in at other venues. We used their stage, dance floor, tables and chairs, linens and dishes, cutlery and glassware, bar facades and staff, culinary team... The fact that all of this was included in the cost of our wedding was a big reason we chose this venue. We didn't have to worry about involving a ton of other rental companies, which kept us at ease throughout the planning process since there were less vendors to coordinate.
We also had several events surrounding our wedding weekend at CBD and Midnight Rambler, all of which were also executed precisely as planned. The hotel gave us two nights in the rooftop penthouse for the weekend and we also used it as our "get ready" room on our wedding day. The space was exquisite.
We highly recommend the Joule Hotel as the setting for your wedding or event!! Their staff is incredible, their spaces are beautiful, and the overall experience they provided us and our guests was incredible. The entire event went on without a hitch and we received many compliments on our venue choice. We would do it again in a heart beat!!

We had our wedding at the Joule on New Years Eve and it was the best night of our lives! Working with Taylor McGee was a pleasure. She was very communicative and always helped us problem solve, and educated us so that we made informed decisions. The space was absolutely beautiful and more than I could have ever imagined!

We hosted my brother's rehearsal dinner and wedding welcome party at The Terrace at the Joule. The event went off without a problem. Taylor (the catering manager) and the staff that attended the event were amazing. The service was excellent, the food was good and everything was taken care of. We were from out of town so we didn't have a chance to visit the venue or try the food before the event. When we arrived to the venue we were so surprised at how beautiful everything looked. I can't say enough nice things about The Joule.

Working with Taylor at the Joule was a good experience! We felt that everything would be handled well for our special day, and it was. The food was absolutely amazing, we got tons of compliments on how great it was. The staff were top notch - everything ran very smoothly. Ana was especially wonderful! There was never a line for drinks at the bar. And of course, the event spaces are just stunning. We recommend the Joule to anyone thinking of having their special day there!

We just had our food and alcohol tasting at the Joule and thought I should mention how wonderful the staff has been! The banquet staff took great care of us and are working with us to make slight adjustments to the menu based on what we liked and didn't. Special shoutout to Fernando for making some of the best cocktails we've ever had! We had the most wonderful time and cannot wait to get married there!

My daughter’s micro wedding was on the Terrace, a beautiful glass walled and ceilinged room. My daughter wanted a bright and cheery feel rather than a traditional setting. We had the ceremony in front of a simple, but lovely arch filled with tropical colors. . The guests had a delicious dinner at two long tables which were filled with bright colored vases, flowers and candles. The mirrored chargers reflected the sky.
The staff was excellent. They were very accommodating as we did all the planning ourselves. They provided guidance whenever asked and gave us good suggestions.

We had our rehearsal dinner at CBD Provisions, our ceremony on the Terrace at the Joule, and our reception at the Midnight Rambler. It was a very mixed experience.
If I could give 100 stars to the banquet staff who covers CBD Provisions & Midnight Rambler, I would! Josh Chambo is the absolute best. They hosted an incredible menu tasting for us, were on top of every email and detail throughout the planning process, and executed flawlessly for the rehearsal dinner and reception. I could write a novel about this, but I highly recommend any event in those spaces.
Unfortunately, the actual weddings team who covers the ceremony spaces (and I assume the traditional reception spaces) did not deliver the same great experience. It was slow and difficult to get responses from them as we planned, they never proactively reached out to us about any details or day of plans, and I literally never saw our coordinator. She did not come to the rehearsal or show up at all on the day of the wedding. It was baffling. In the end we paid somewhere around $5,000 for the ceremony + AV for a 15 minute ceremony and no one even bothered to check that we had what we needed or that it went well.
I think if you're going to have a full wedding here you definitely need to have a complete end-to-end Wedding Planner who has extensive experience at the Joule as their team just clearly isn't staffed appropriately to engage.

WOW! We had no idea the level of customer service we would receive when we rebooked the Joule after our daughters wedding had to be postponed. Megan Milkavich led the way, along with the front desk personnel, bellmen, and valet! They were amazing, so professional, so helpful, even giving the bride an upgrade to her suite! We can not say enough about this hotel and all that they did to make the wedding weekend perfect! Thank you!

I went above and beyond my budget at The Joule to have my "princess" moment of entering my wedding through a glass elevator. I was told exactly 2 minutes before the wedding was due to start that it was broken. Not only did I not get my entrance, my guests had a very hard time moving between the terrace and ballroom - even using the fire stairs instead of having to wait a ridiculous amount of time on the small elevators inside the hotel. On top of the glass elevator not working, neither was the handicap elevator which forced my disabled niece to be carried up the stairs along with her wheelchair and along with my 91 year old grandma that needed an elevator as well. This cut short my wedding reception by a full 45 minutes. Views were good, food was great, and rooms were very nice. However, if you are booking the terrace, you really need to consider the high possibility of it not working. I have since found out the elevator not working is an ongoing problem.

I coordinated a wedding here last night and I just have to say the service level here was PHENOMENAL. The Catering Services Manager, Jesse was a dream. He was truly a gem to work with! His willingness to help blew me away, he and my Banquet Captain Alex and all of his attentive staff helped me pull off an AMAZING night for my clients Abbye and Kevin!! Thank you so much!!

TRULY OUTSTANDING! You can honestly stop reading now if you want. The Joule had always been my dream venue. I wanted a "chic, sleek, contemporary, big city" wedding, and The Joule is the epitome of that in Dallas. I also loved that my guests could stay there, and both the ceremony and the reception could be there, so it just made everything really easy. The Joule was our "home base" and there was no need to coordinate transportation to and from various venues. I worked with Janna Hinebaugh, the catering manager at The Joule. The moment I met her, I felt like I was talking to a good girlfriend. She's awesome. She was super organized and knew her stuff, and she was just so darn funny and nice. When I say Janna's (and The Joule's) customer service is over-the-top, I mean it. I've stayed at names like The Plaza and Waldorf-Astoria, but never in my life have I received such VIP treatment as I did at The Joule. Everything was seamless, from booking and contracts, to the tasting (we created our own menu of foods we love) and selections of linens, etc. Shout-out to Janna's assistant Jesse, who ran point on the rehearsal and on the day-of, along with Janna. My experience was a dream--not a care in the world, knowing everything was handled and my husband and I could focus on our wedding day. Oh, and when you book at the Joule, you get two nights in a suite as part of your package--the suite was BOMB! It was basically like an apartment: living room with a half-bath, master bedroom with a massive bathroom, huge windows...it was insane. In the best way.

I fell in love with the beautiful Joule Dallas the moment I stepped inside of it. It was the perfect venue for our wedding day/weekend. Although the service from the entire staff was spectacular, I especially want to thank Kathryn Duncan for her attentiveness and organization. Anytime we had questions or issues, she resolved them quickly and her helpfulness consistently went above and beyond our expectations. I also want to give major props to the chefs who prepared our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres, wedding reception dinner, and late night snacks! Our guests can't stop raving about the delicious food! We had an amazing wedding experience at the Joule and were truly impressed with the service and venue. I highly recommend them!

My husband and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect location or venue for our wedding. The joule was stunning -- absolutely gorgeous!!!!...and the staff was absolutely amazing to my husband and I during our wedding weekend as well as during the events leading up to our wedding. Courtney and Kathryn were very easy to work with and they kept in constant communication with us, which truly helped keep us in check throughout the timely planning process. Gerardo did an excellent job with our lighting and AV needs and the chefs made the most delicious meals for our guests. Everything about our experience with the Joule was truly outstanding. I would highly recommend this venue!!! Worth every single penny!!!

My husband and I stayed here for our wedding night but our room had a plumbing issue, so we ended up going home since we live in Dallas and there were no other rooms available to move to. Although the situation wasn't handled the best at first, one of the managers called and apologized and made up for the other miscommunication we'd experienced. We were able to get it all sorted out and will be giving the Joule another try for a staycation to have a wedding night "do over!"

Even though I looked at other venues for our wedding, deep down I always knew it had to be The Joule! As the location of our first kiss 6 years ago, there could be no place more romantic for us. Our ceremony was on the rooftop, and we moved into the ballroom for the reception. Courtney and Courtney were both super attentive and easy to work with. The service was fantastic, and the food- wow! One of my only regrets from the day was that I didn't eat more! Everyone raved over how delicious the dinner was! The bar service was quick and no one had to wait in line for long! And with a backdrop as beautiful as The Joule, our pictures turned out beautiful. Truly the most special place in Dallas for us :)

The Joule is the best hotel and venue in Dallas. There is NO competition. We had our ceremony on the gorgeous roof terrace and our reception in the fortnight ballroom. The hotel is so gorgeous and the staff provides the best service. I would not recommend anyone else.

The Joule hotel (black gold ballroom) is perfect for a more intimate wedding! We had 75 people and this fit us perfectly. We only had 5 weeks to plan, and the hotel is so beautiful itself that all we had to do was get some flowers and pillar candles for the table! They even provide your choice of table linens and votive candles for no extra charge. Charlie Palmer catered the event and everyone raved and said it was the best meal they have ever had at a wedding! The food was amazing, no ones drink was ever empty...you can't beat this kind of service!

The Joule was wonderful every step of the way! My coordinator was so accomodating and flexible regardless of my request. I also used their pastry chef, and have gotten a number of rave reviews about my wedding cake.
The decor of the entire hotel, from the lobby to the ballroom is so wonderfully unique.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
