My daughter had her wedding at the Frazier pavilion and it was beautiful. Kym and Sarah at Top Tier were amazing and they made everything easy. The facility, food, and service were fabulous! Thanks for making her day so special.
We had a very short time to plan the wedding and I called and KYM made the entire process so easy and stress-free! The entire team from Top Tier catering to our servers and bar tenders were such a dream to work with! The chapel is stunning and last minute they moved all of our chairs because we wanted less rows of chairs. After the ceremony, they packed up all of our stuff from the bridal suite and brought it to the reception and I didn't have to worry about anything!! I just was able to enjoy myself! They are so easy going and willing to work with your budget! It was so special to have our special day here as Texas Tech Alumni!!!
LOVED having my reception at the Merket. Every detail we wanted was done perfectly and the flow of the whole event was exceptional. My guests loved the food and the courtyard. Kym truly makes everything go so smoothly, you won't stress about your reception at all!
Kym and her staff are AMAZING! They take care of anything and everything. If you would like a stress free wedding KYM IS YOUR WOMAN! Thank you all for making our day great!
Kym and the Top Tier staff were wonderful! Our wedding was perfect thanks to them!
Kym and Karlee were great to work with and made sure all my visions came to life! Top Tier made a great impression with my guests! I had so many people come and tell me how good our dinner was! Would definitely recommend having your best day ever here!
My husband and I got married this past summer at Kent Hance Chapel and held our reception at the Merket Center. It was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made. Both venues are stunning and their proximity to each other was a bonus for our guests. Kym and the staff of Top Tier went above and beyond to make our day a dream, and our friends still make comments about how wonderful the food was. Get married here, you won’t regret it.
We had the wedding and reception of our dreams at the Hance Chapel and Merket. The flow of our wedding was absolutely perfect with using these two venues. I cannot thank Kym, Karlee and top tier enough for making this day so smooth and perfect. I didn't even need a wedding planner with the help that is provided through Kym when using these venues. Y'all are a godsend and I'm so happy we had our wedding here!
We would chose Top Tier over and over again. Best decision by far! They were so easy to work with and very quick to respond to our questions and needs. Kym was awesome to work with. She was on top of her game the entire way! Anything we needed they made sure we got it. The food was so delicious, we had many compliments. We love that we have a our very own brick that will be there forever! Such a cool memory! We would definitely recommend them to everyone! You won't be dissapointed!
We had my daughters wedding at the chapel and the reception at the Merket. Kym worked with us and presented us with numerous options to fit our budget. She was excellent to work with and she really knows her stuff. The rest of the staff were very professional and went above and beyond to assist us. The food was amazing and the venue is absolutely beautiful. We are so happy we chose the Kent Hance Chapel, the Merket and Top Tier to handle our daughters wedding. Thank you to Kym, Karley and the staff.
This place turned out beautifully! It's a very short distance from the Hance Chapel, and we got the chapel and reception hall (and its courtyard) as a bundle deal. Tech's catering service, Top Tier, also comes with using their facilities which was perfect. Kym Ruiz is so easy to work with; her workers know exactly what they're doing and even helped my family and friends set up and tear down before and after the wedding. Wouldn't have changed a thing about our venue. Loved it!
Kym and the rest of the staff at the Merket are absolutely incredible. The food is so great, and the service is really wonderful. We had such an easy time planning our wedding, and Kym knew how to answer all of our questions. The venue was definitely the easiest part!
The Merket Alumni center is the best venue to have any event where you expect great service from great people. Kym and her staff were wonderful and were there every step of the way. They are well organized and can make anything happen. I am very happy that we decided on this venue and could not have imagined our wedding being held anywhere else!!!!!
I cannot put into words how kind and wonderful the staff/coordinators are at the McKenzie-Merket!!! They accommodated us in every aspect of the planning! Every “I” was dotted and every (double) “T” was crossed, my family and I could not have asked for anything better!
They took care of everything. I couldn't have asked for a better venue. It was close to the ceremony site and the hotel everyone stayed at. The food was wonderful! They even brought the groom and I some snacks before the reception while we were taking pictures.
I got married in January 2012, and my reception was at Merket. Kym and the entire staff was wonderful! I had a lot of hiccups in the wedding planning process, but dealing with the Merket was the least of my worries. They made sure my day ran smoothly, and the food was delicious!
The venue is beautiful, staff is extremely helpful and fun, and the catering was delicious! Couldn't have asked for a better venue. :)
Having my wedding here at Texas Tech was the best decision I could of made. Yes it is a little bit on the expensive side but let me tell you it was SOOOOO worth it. Plus the price also includes the catering! The staff there at Tech are amazing!!!! They made me feel like such a PRINCESS on my day and made sure I had anything and everything I needed!!! They definitly took care of my husband and I.
