The Filter Building? More like The Furnace Building--because attending a wedding here in May felt…read morelike celebrating vows inside an actual oven. Choosing this place for a Texas summer wedding is practically sabotage, and I'll tell you why. Picture this: the bride, groom, officiant, and wedding party forced to stand directly facing the blazing sun at 5pm (all to get the lake in the background). Guests are sitting in direct sunlight, melting, turning the ceremony into an unbearable endurance test. Everyone spends hours getting ready, wearing designer, only to have your blazer turn into a portable sauna, your undershirt is now marinated in your own sweat, and your deodorant taps out like "I wasn't built for this." If you think alcohol will make this better, think again! You can't of catch a buzz because it's so hot that any alcohol consumed immediately escapes through your pores. If you thought you'll just go inside for relief, you'd be wrong again! Expect the interior temperature of the building only marginally cooler than outside, maybe a toasty 90 degrees. Once the doors mercifully open to the building, there's a mad dash to the smallest bathroom in Texas--three tiny stalls and one pathetic sink to service a crowd of sweaty survivors. Mirror? Vanity space? Not here. Prepare to freshen up makeup elbow-to-elbow with strangers, in line, like you're waiting for a ride at Disneyland (minus any of the joy). After exiting the bathroom you'll see the long, hallway-like layout. This narrow layout ensures that anyone seated towards the back misses everything happening on the stage. Guests were left shouting conversations over deafening acoustics and cheap concrete flooring. The cramped table arrangement created constant traffic jams and awkward, uncomfortable pathways just to move around. Outside was equally dreadful. The ceremony area was poorly designed, with an embarrassingly short aisle that robbed the bride of a proper procession. Photography conditions were awful, marred by either glaring sunlight or the shadow of the building (no sunset views). The spider-webbed oak trees added to the unkempt appearance, signaling neglect and lack of care. Parking was another disaster, forcing guests to navigate through a rough, unpaved secondary lot, making an already unpleasant experience even worse. Finally, if you were hoping for some redeeming aesthetic charm, sorry. You'll find none in this ugly orange-brick box inconveniently located far from any decent bars or entertainment. Brides, unless your dress code includes swimsuits and flip-flops, pick literally anywhere else for your summer or early fall wedding. The Filter Building has successfully filtered out comfort, logic, and fun.

We booked this space for my cousin's campaign event and I'm so glad we did. Lo' and Rosie graciously sponsored our event, which really stood out to us. Everything went smoothly and we were extremely grateful for their sponsorship. We did pay for valet services, and I highly recommend doing so! This made the event extremely easy to access for our guests. Keep in mind, they do have a lot across the street you can park at. The week of, Lo' and Rosie's event manager reached out to ensure we communicated about how we wanted to setup the venue. On the day of, the venue manager was there to let us in and answer any questions for us during our set up. While our event was an absolute success, there was an initial communication delay from the venue prior to formally booking the space. But I loved this space so much, I wasn't backing down . I truly appreciated them taking accountability, addressing the issue, and assuring seamless communication moving forward -- which there absolutely was. I would easily book this space again and again. A true gem!!

Who knew that this chic venue existed among the furniture and design warehouses off 635?…read more I attended a charity event here recently and was pleasantly surprised to find a modern event space inside of the unassuming building. Designed with an all white palate, the space is large enough to accommodate a modest - sized event(under 200) while still feeling intimate. I believe the space is owned and operated by Creative Arts Catering so you are required to use thier services. Their food is excellent though so that would be a non issue for me. My only complaint was with the parking. There were only about 20 parking spaces directly in front of the building and the caterer had their delivery trucks occupying about 5 of those precious few (not a good look at a formal event). Definitely check them out if you're event space shopping on the North side.

The Dallas Woman's Forum Building is a great event space. The building itself is an Historical…read moreLandmark. It is the former home of C.H. Alexander in 1906. It was known throughout Dallas as the Alexander Mansion. The Woman's Forum is an organization committed to empowering women and children through education and advocacy. The group purchased the building and also makes it available to the public for weddings, holiday parties, corporate events, meetings, luncheon, tea parties, bridal showers, dinners, and cocktail parties. I came here for an authors forum. The building proved to be a perfect setting for that event as well. While it is a really neat event space with a decent sized parking lot, it could use a little restoration. Keep in mind it is an old building, and old buildings need a lot of work. For example the front porch has tiles missing, and the interior has walls and corners that need touching up, floors that could use refinishing, etc. Granted, most events will detract from many of those things, but to be good stewards of the rich history these old buildings possess, their owners should make certain they are kept in their original glory...in my humble opinion. Overall, this building is a treasure though and the city is blessed that the Dallas Woman's Forum shares it with the community!
