Initial tour went well Getting help before signing contract seemed slightly more difficult than I would have hoped but luckily it turned out ok. Well organized and well communicated through entire process. Spaces and service were as promised and help all through the planning to day of event was great. My only hardship was with some contractors they hired to help us at end of party. They did not match the caliber of event 1013 and were smoking during their contracted time to help and were more concerned with eating our food versus serving it and wrapping it up at the end. Oh well! Otherwise, great experience. Thank you very much and hope to return in the near future! read more

My husband and I had our wedding here and everything was perfect! Joy, the venue manager, was very helpful with answering all our questions. She was thorough during our consultation, quickly made changes to our floor plan and was able to adjust our contract as needed. Whitney, our venue supervisor for the day, was able to have everything ready for us. Even with submitting our projected PowerPoint late (morning of), Whitney was able to have it running smoothly. We are very thankful these wonderful ladies were able to make our wedding day go just as planned! read more

I recently DJ'd a wedding at this venue and had the pleasure of working with Whitney for the event. Beautiful venue, very accommodating, and Whitney was such a blessing to work with. She did a great job getting me set up, helping with the flow ofevents, and making sure everything was to the guests liking. read more

The Yelp Families Launch Party was held here in order to showcase the venue and also promote some local businesses. First of all, Event1013 is deceptively bigger than what it appears to be from the outside. The interior consists of a long, large open area in the front connected by a hallway to a smaller back room. There is also a cozy alcove/sitting area as well as restrooms between the 2 bigger spaces. The decor is minimalistic, yet modern and elegant creating an ideal backdrop for a special event. Event1013 and all of the sponsors did an excellent job to make this an enjoyable outing for the adults and kids alike. read more

Came here today for the Yelp Family Launch party and I really loved the space. As you walk into Event 1013 there is a huge open front room framed with original brick. The back area is smaller and has brick as well and between these two spaces are gorgeous mens and womens bathrooms. Literally I want these bathrooms in my house! Raided sinks, a sitting bench, glittery counter tops, candles, palms, and huge stalls. I know it is weird to say to check out the bathroom, but check out the bathroom! You will not want to leave--really! The event itself was great! Tons of things for the kiddos to do as well as for the bigger kiddos. I love that the space allowed for several food and drink booths in the front, face painting, cupcake making, and balloon animal making in the back. I think the only thing missing from the event was a dance party or something to welcome and round up the kiddos so they could've gotten to know each other. I think that this would be a wonderful spot for weddings, birthday parties, and graduations. I love that this spot is in downtown/historic Plano that is reviving itself and trying to grow. I hope that it brings more people to the area. read more

I had my 55th birthday party at this beautiful and sexy venue! This is a hidden gem in Downtown Plano that is centrally located and easy to access. The owners Ron and Deborah were very nice, resourceful, and accommodating. Ron is fun and such a pleasure to work with. The entire staff is so Amazing!! Shameca who was my coordinator was very professional and worked closely with me to make sure every detail was thought of. Shema is very sweet , professional and helpful ! She was the staff that worked the night of my party, and ensured that everything ran smoothly and without a hiccup. I can't say enough about event1013 or the AWESOME staff and owners! Thank you for making my 55th memorable! read more

This is a cute little venue. It is located in downtown Plano. It's got a rustic chic look to it. They have enough space to fit about 70-100 people eating comfortably. They have a good amount of bathrooms considering the small space. They did struggle a bit with plates during the event I attended. When they did the cake cutting they didn't have enough cake plates available so they were running back and forth taking people's meal plates to clean and reuse as cake plates. The servers also weren't quick to remove plates until we had the cake issue. My plate sat in front of me for an hour before it was removed to be used as a cake plate. Overall a decent venue to have a small event. read more

What a gorgeous venue. It's in a great location in the middle of all the fun & cutesy shopping/dining in historic downtown Plano. From the outside you would think this venue is pretty small, but it's actually much bigger and ultra spacious once you're inside. The main space is long and narrow with very high ceilings. Around the back you'll find beautiful bathrooms (they really are pretty, and clean) and another lovely, smaller room perfect for more activities. Wood floors, brick walls with little cutaways for votives -- it's very romantic if you want it to be. Just dim the lights and light the candles! For a more casual feeling, keep the lights bright. There's also two 10' x 20' video walls which are complimentary when you rent the space. The owner and his son are so kind and really do everything they can to make sure your event is running smoothly. They check-in with you a lot, plus they stay on top of set-up, trash, breakdown, and clean-up. They're seriously gracious hosts who take the time to make sure you're happy and comfortable. read more

Are you looking for a quaint, and historic, location for your event? This little gem tucked away in downtown Plano is a great option that you should consider! I recently attended a work party here and it was fantastic. The main room is long, which could be configured in a number of ways, but is definitely limited to a long, thin setup. There is a room in the back that was set up with our food, I'm sure it could be used for a dance floor or other uses. There is a great wall covered in live plants and an adjacent wall with candles. The bathroom is in the middle, next to a little nook with benches. I never saw anyone in that area, as it was a little awkwardly placed. But depending on your event and how you use the space, it could be very nice. Parking is a little challenging. There is street parking, but it is shared with the other restaurants and bars nearby. Recommend guests carpool or use the train that is just down the street. read more

This is a much belated review, better late than never! The Yelp Families Launch Party was held here back at the end of March 2019 and it was a showcase of the venue as well as various local vendors. The venue itself was great, very functional, held all of the people who attended comfortably, there are wonderful restrooms in the hallway past the large open area at the front where you would walk in, and there's even another small room towards the back. It's a great space with minimal design so that you can really make it your own! The event itself was great, thanks so much to Yelp, the sponsors, the vendors who participated, and everyone else involved! The kids had a great time and they had a blast with the lady walking around doing her light dance thing. There were plenty of food and drinks, desserts and cute breads, face painting, cupcake making, magic balloon artist, and more! read more

I attended an event here over the weekend and I thought this was a nice venue. The front room is very large and can accommodate a lot of tables or seating. There were booths lined up along both ends and still a lot of room for walking and milling around. A hallway along the right side leads to a smaller room in the back and contains the restrooms. The restrooms were clean, tastefully decorated and the stalls had private doors. There was also a full length mirror, so it's an ideal space for changing if necessary. The décor was nice and the space looked impressive for the event. It's definitely a venue I would consider booking. My only note, in case it applies, is in regards to the acoustics. There was a band playing, and they were great, but the acoustics carry in a way that makes it really loud and therefore difficult to hear anyone. If anything, that may just affect your choice in music or type of speakers, but worth noting. read more

Nice venue. The only thing for places in this downtown area, is the parking can be a hit or miss because its right off the main street on both sides. Luckily as we were approaching the main light, a car was about to leave. We did stop some traffic to wait on them backing out. Keep in mind you may have to do some walking. Inside was a pretty good flow of the traffic/crowd w/the amount of space. Good enough size for smaller/private events. Comfortable resting area near bathrooms followed by another smaller room. read more

Came here for a Family Yelp event. This event is great for Yelpers to bring their kids, they had face paintings, cooking classes where they offered cupcake decoration for guest which was great, other vendors such as steel pop city, Sweet Hut that offered milk tea drinks, Topo-Chico which is carbonate water mineral (it was my first time and I got the natural lime flavor which is not bad and its 0 calories), truman bar which was developed by this young motivated kid (by the way his logo is so cute!, chocolate was good). Of course l, there was other venus, but these were the ones I checked out. The venue itself is cute, which can be used for small parties or small events. Overall, the event was nice. read more

I would highly recommend event1013 for anyone looking for the amazing venue for their event. We hosted our corporate holiday party here. Not only is the space beautiful, it is reasonably prices and in a neat part of town! Everything from the initial walk-thru, to event planning, to the final product was seamless and very professional. Thank you to the staff of event1013 for helping us put on picture-perfect event! read more

I absolutely love this venue. It well kept, very spacious and very chic. There are multiple rooms/segments to the venue and they have a small shot gun kitchen with warming boxes. The venue is like a very nice blank canvas. You could literally transform it into the space of your dreams. read more

event1013 - Magic show in the back - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Plano, Texas

My first solo attending ​a Yelp event and it was a success. It was a Family Launch party and the space that was used was so lovely. When I first walked in, there was a huge long space with hardwood floors and rustic brick walls​. There was a cute long string​ of lights across the ceiling. It gave off that industrial chic feel that I really enjoyed looking at. The bathrooms were squeaky spotless and the decor inside was​ well thoughtful. And then further​ the bathroom area, there was a sitting area and a garden candled​ room as if it were used for private events. There was​ also a huge screen that divides​ the room, which is a great plus to add a nice touch to the occasion. The Family Launch party event was excellent and I love the flow of people walking through from the front to the back without feeling like you're stuck, especially​ the young​ kids having enough space to run around the area. There were plenty of vendors and they were fantastic with their products. The music was loud enough and the visual aspects were superb​. I can see endless events hosting at this location with no problems. It has everything you need for such a nice perfect occasion​. Great venue! read more

My fiancee (now my wife) and I held a wedding and reception at Event 1013 on September 5, 2015. We had an excellent experience with the staff and venue throughout the reservation process and during the event. The Event 1013 staff was engaged and helpful to us. The space is a recently renovated downtown Plano storefront. The aesthetic is exposed brick and nicely refurbished original hardwoods. A new professional kitchen and bathrooms round out the functionality. There are two rooms, the main hall in front and the "garden room," in the back. The garden room features a large wall of decorative shelving, great for decorators. The space has a very classy feel to it. At the far end of the main hall is a large screen great for projecting video, slideshows, etc. The in house PA system is pretty good, and they support many different computer and AV inputs. At the time of this writing, they had completed an upgrade of the AV package. Basic access to the AV equipment is included. For our wedding, we did a slideshow and Instagram wall. It was a big hit. The house speakers were fine for general music, but they offer an upgrade to the package. We did hire an actual DJ for dancing and announcements. Included in your venue rental will be use of the antique hutch and bar/buffet. Event 1013 is great for folks who want a flexible space and an array of support services. The Event 1013 staff was really great about helping us execute our plan. So many other event spaces we reviewed wanted to lock us into their whole package. As in, "the venue rental is $X, but you have to rent our tables, chairs, use our caterer, use our bar service, etc., etc. no substitutions." Event 1013's approach was, "we can help you with that if you need it, but if you find a vendor you prefer, OK." The venue does provide a list of preferred vendors, and they will want to meet your vendors, but overall the process was pretty easy. They will require all vendors to have minimum liability insurance. We really liked the ala carte possibilities because it gave us the ability to shop around while still having a back up service we could turn to if we did not find anything else we liked. We were able to put together a great wedding on our terms and not be totally eaten alive by the wedding-industrial-complex. Overall, a great experience. read more

An awesome event space for just about any occasion! Lots of flexibility in set up and very charming and chic. It is quite big, but you can make the space as intimate as you would like with the furniture set up. Deborah, her husband and staff were super easy to work with and accommodating. We needed a short notice solution, and they were able to deliver! read more

When I initially approached Deborah at event1013, I explained an off-the-wall idea for combining live music and comedy in the venue. She and her team listened as this idea evolved (or devolved) and provided ancillary resources at every possible step of the way. The whole process felt very flexible, which I found especially advantageous. The venue itself is perfect blend of quaintness, rusticity, and ornate. The color palette of the venue (polished wooden floors and red brick walls) produced a homey/cozy vibe for the surprisingly large space available. Additionally, the bathrooms were incredibly fancy and clean. As far as I could tell, the A/V capabilities at event1013 were flawless. The music at my event jumped between live music and an iPod, which I found very easy to navigate. The acoustics made the live music sound great, and the sound system made the iPod sound great. I also utilized the projector to display a hashtag wall, which people used without issue. The free wifi helped, as did the clear cell signal. I gladly recommend event1013 for any type of event. They're experienced and in an awesome location on the DART Line. read more

Praises only! Thank you! This is one of a kind venue with unique character and charm. Last night we held a lecture/discussion with a popular Russian satirist, writer, scriptwriter and radio host - Victor Shenderovich. Unlike an auditorium, the venue has a very cozy and intimate vibe, which allowed a pleasant and positive interaction between the speaker and the audience. The high end sound system, the lights and the overall facility and staff contributed to a memorable event for everyone who attended the event. I highly recommend this venue for any event! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about event1013. They SERIOUSLY and MASSIVELY saved our wedding. Melissa is absolutely an answered prayer and we can't be thankful enough for her. Brief rundown: Our original wedding venue, The Generator in Garland, was paid in full and reserved in February 2016 for a June 12 wedding date. We wanted an industrial-vintage-coffee-ish theme wedding (us both being previous baristas and whatnot during college). We had walked past event1013 8-9 months ago, but never even considered it was in our price range for a venue, even though it was gorgeous inside. Well, when the new owner of the Generator, Nir, decided to cancel our event 5 days before the wedding, we freaked. The new owner wanted more money, wanted to charge more for the items we were going to have them bake, and then flip flopped on all kinds of other small details and would become angry and hostile when we asked "why", and then walked off fuming saying he wouldn't return our money nor have our ceremony unless we paid more. My (now) husband and I had no clue what to do, as we left The Generator, and went to a nearby lunch spot to recompose, eat, and pray. We took the rest of that Tuesday afternoon off, and contacted our moms and best friends to help us. My bff made a jillion calls, and ONE of them was to event1013. While some venues offered a small discount, others laughed at our hope for having the wedding on the same evening, at the same time. One, did not. Melissa, at event1013, heard out my bff, then offered to have us come by whenever we could, to see the venue. She had a shower that Sunday morning that she was working, but offered to tear it down and set up for ours right after, so we could keep our original wedding time. She understood the issues with our funds tied up in another venue (which we will be suing now) and contacted the director, Deborah, to see what they could do. They helped us above and beyond, with absolutely everything to allow us to use event1013 for our wedding. We were basically a nomadic wedding, just looking for a place to "land" and event1013 was that place. On the day of, we got there an hour before we were going to get in the venue for reveal photos. We took our photos outside, then it began to POUR down rain. Melissa invited us in to get our cakes and us in before the downpour. She was one of the sweetest, most helpful people ever that day. I was worried, ahead of time, that with all the changes, something would mess up. But our prayers were literally answered time and time again. God helped us get into event1013, a venue far grander and dreamier than our original one, and allowed us an opportunity to be blessed by her generous acts of service and compassion. We HIGHLY recommend event1013 and Melissa too. We also received our security deposit check back VERY quickly, within 2.5 weeks of our wedding, which was greatly appreciated too! read more

Event 1013 what a beautiful place looked great. It's just to bad the the event planner was super rude nickel and dime you like you wouldn't even believe shameka didn't have a good attitude, super rude and it's very hard to throw a surprise party and be discreet with these people read more

While the space is beautiful and was the reason for planning to have our daughter's wedding party at the venue, coronavirus pandemic forced us to potpone the wedding from May to September. The venue is limited to 90 guests which prevents us from holding the wedding as we would not want to eliminate any family or friends. From the get go we were planning for 125+ guests, thus we have no choice but to cancel the wedding. I had deposited $2.595 and even though the evnt can not meet our attendees, they will not return our deposit. They claim that the $2,595 is a only for the right to reserve a date, we think that they are ripping us off as they cannot meet the contract terms. We will pursue, but Buyer beware! read more

I have been to this event center 4 different times for three different types of events. Each time it has been like the perfect venue for each. The beautiful, original brick walls are gorgeous and bring a warmth throughout. There is a cool, custom wall in the back room plus the indoor wall planters and both are a nice touch. The bathrooms are spacious, very clean, and I love the cloth towels for drying hands. Classy. The Downtown Plano location is great because there is plenty around to do both before and after an event. I highly recommend event1013. read more

I cannot say enough good things about event1013. My nonprofit for adults with autism, Austen's Autistic Adventures, recently had our spring art show fundraiser at this space. In a word, it was magical. The spacious front room is both elegant and comfortable, with gorgeous hardwood floors and soft lighting. Brick walls have evenly-spaced sconces for candles. The feel is simultaneously antique and modern, not an easy balance to achieve. Exterior windows are able to fan open, and we did so on our warm springtime-in-Texas evening. This allowed our guests to mill about outside, and for passers-by to see what was going on within (several people came in and bought some art!). A beautiful old credenza was provided to us to serve as our bar, and placed near one of the open windows. The center of the space is divided by a large screen, behind which sits a small media room. We were able to show a video of our group in action at the beginning of our event, followed by a looping slideshow of still images. A microphone was provided for me to act as MC. Behind the media room is a full-functioning kitchen, with warming ovens, refrigerator, ice machine, prep space, and sinks. We were able to prep all our appetizers and desserts without anyone seeing a bit of chaos. Bathrooms are lovely and soft lighting is very flattering. There are soft hand towels; a nice touch. Walking into the end of the space feels like you've entered a secret, romantic garden. To the left is floor-to-ceiling candle wall, with spaces for frosted pillars (which candles sit behind) . Look to your right and you will see another huge screen; you are able to feature two different media feeds or the same one both front and rear, as we did. The back wall is covered in ivy and will remind you of an English cottage. Finally, I would be remiss in not thanking the incredible staff who helped us pull this off. They will sit down with you and make sure everything you need is ready to go on your big day. You will sit down with a staff member and create a chart that will show them precisely how you want your space arranged. There are many options available to you (some at additional charges) so that you don't have to lift a finger if you don't want to. While our event was a fundraiser, I can't imagine a more perfect place for a wedding reception. But whatever you need or can think up, this is the location you want! read more

We had a small Christmas market at event1013. It turned out fantastic. The venue is just the right size for an event like this. We had 10 or 11 vendors there. The people who work there were incredibly helpful. Tables and chairs were available. When the garage doors at the front were open it makes it so inviting for shoppers to see what's going on and just walk right in. Great place to have an event of any kind. read more

What a great place to hold our first one day Christmas market! Great atmosphere, holiday music provided, assistance with the large media screen, and flexibility on the refreshments we served.

We wanted a small personal venue. Aimee, our coordinator was awesome throughout the process. Our wedding came out amazing. we actually managed to squeeze in 150 people into the venue, and still were comfortable. The venue looks amazing at night with the lighting package, and everything is high quality. Our wedding was perfect, influenced with modern items, but still keeping an intimate atmosphere. It's one of the only places in dfw like it, that is affordable and not too large. The brick walls are amazing, as is the raw garden in the back with the wooden shelf-wall. It made for pictures you could not take anywhere else! My only gripe was (and this might not be 100% of the venues fault) is the trash issue. You are not allowed to dump trash into the dumpster behind the venue, so that was an ordeal after the wedding, something i didnt want to deal with too much as the groom, but in fairness, they did give us a heads up about this. Overall, a great venue for our wedding, just make sure (like all venues) you have ALL the costs worked out so you're not surprised at the end. There were a few things we had to pay cash, but i came prepared (cop, handyman, etc) read more

As an event planner for a local nonprofit, I've had the opportunity to partner with Deborah and her team on several events over the past three years. Deborah is always very responsive and very supportive of the local community. Denise is my primary contact in planning events and she is always fun to work with and great with providing helpful suggestions for layout and logistic questions. I've also had an opportunity to work with their AV folks who have been exceptional in handling my sometimes clueless questions and helping to make sure everything runs smoothly the day-of-event. Overall, an awesome group of people to work with who truly care about the success of your special day! Best of all, the space itself is absolutely stunning. I have had the opportunity to show off event1013 to other event planners from Dallas and other surrounding cities, and they never fail to comment on what a gem it is! I am especially fond of the exposed brick walls with niches for candles (beautiful at night), the video wall, and the garden space in the back, which I have sadly not had an opportunity to use yet! One of the other perks of working with event1013 is access to some really special pieces of antique furniture, which help add more personality and character to your event. I would highly recommend event1013 for anyone looking for a venue with historic charm and a super helpful, hands-on staff. read more

My experience with Event 1013, has been nothing but first class. I inquired online, shortly received an email and a phone call to set up a consultation and a tour of the space. The open dates are easily found online www.event1013.com on the calendar. The online pictures show exactly the space, I was not disappointed at all. It is going to be perfect for this DIY bride and they have options for the not so DYI Bride to set up with recommended vendor.

My husband and I used this venue for our wedding reception. While the location is beautiful, the service is the very opposite. We received multiple complaints from the other businesses involved in the reception and family members. My husband and I both had to leave multiple messages over several days to get a walk-through/meeting. During meetings, some of the same questions from previous meetings/conversations were asked and we had to remind her that we had already gone over that. She would promise to email us required paperwork, but wouldn't follow through. The day of the reception, we had 2 different "wedding directors". One stayed for the 1st half, and the other for the 2nd half. Our caterer entered the back of the building w/ the food 30 min. early to set up,but was told that he wasn't allowed to,even though there wasn't another event taking place. We paid the fee to have alcohol during the event. As my mom & in-laws were bringing in the alcohol, the employee in charge of our event began yelling at them about the alcohol not being there yet and demanding to know where it was. When my mom tried to explain, the employee continued yelling at her. When my wedding planner was decorating, the employee started complaining about the decorations not being put up yet. We were told from the beginning that the employee in charge of the event was only in charge of watching the event to ensure none of the rules were broken, not our timeline or decorating. We were charged for things we weren't informed of and for things we didn't use/ask for. The family members that cleaned up afterwards were asked to leave when we ran 20 min late, even though we were allowed to pay for an extra hour if we ran over. The items left from the reception were moved out to the front curb and some of them lost. I have never seen such horrible customer service. The 2 stars are for the appearance of the venue. This beautiful venue needs a new owner and management! read more

Overall, we were very happy with event1013 as the venue for our wedding. The staff was quick to respond to questions, and the venue was open often for us to come by to trial decorations and seating arrangements. Of course, they have the obligatory fees and upgrades that always seem to come with anything wedding-related, but they did have fewer of these than any other venue we looked at, keeping their prices reasonable. The day of our event went smoothly, and the staff member onsite did a great job of helping us keep things running smoothly. Our deposit check was returned promptly after our event. We would recommend event1013 for weddings. read more
