Signnnnnnature Manor!!! OMG, they exceeded our…read moreexpectations. When I tell you the staff went above and beyond. I mean we were speechless. My sister got married here 4 years ago or so but I didn't get a chance to see every little detail when she got married. Now that it was my turn, I was sooooo excited I picked Signature Manor. With full transparency, we visited at least 2 other locations before making our decision and were looking at at least 1 more go consider. Our must haves: 1. Stand alone facility (no crammed in a shopping center) 2. Clean facility 3. Plenty of Parking 4. A place that won't nickel and dime you 5. Great staff to work with ***First Impression: This place was even better than I remembered. They had done a ton of renovations and the place looked good, plenty of Parking and the staff was also so nice and courteous. Can I let you guys in on a secret? We would go to Signature Manor every month (because we chose to make payments) before we knew we could pay online... we didnt read the fine print... Anywho, we just enjoyed going there... Talking to the staff, asking questions... After a while, they were like family!! ***Venue: The venue is a nice stand alone. It is large on the outside and on the inside which is a great use of space. There are restrooms upstairs and downstairs. There is also an additional room upstairs for children or whatever you like. Essentially, the entire venue is yours. We have seen some nightmarish weddings where the guests are in the wrong wedding because they are connected/ joined. Not here!!! The separate Bride and Groom Suites are nice because they are right by the elevator and they have locks on them. Very safe! The ballroom is huge and the foyer area is big enough to host a ceremony or cocktail reception. ***Parking: There was plenty of parking, which wraps around the building. ***Food: The kitchen is super flexible and can accommodate anything. We had an amazing food tasting, where we were able to accommodate even our Vegan guests! The cake was also amazing. Yay Cakes by Gina! ***Staff: So, I must say, I am very detail oriented and thought that they may be a problem, but it was not! We worked with Katherine who helped our vision come to life. We were then assigned Alex as our Coordinator and we worked very well together. She allowed me to be free with my super crazy ideas and executived them perfectly. She gave us her insights on what has not worked well and what has in the past, which was very helpful. I would be remiss if I left our everyone who made our Wedding possible from Alice, who heard all of my stressed out sob stories, Asia who kept the party going with Alex, Ryan who gave us a male's perspective and always knew how to keep the jokes coming to lighten the mood... we even saw Bonnie a few times! Now that is what we call family. And we never saw any attitudes or craziness from the staff no matter how many questions we asked. They were always there to answer and went above and beyond. A++ for Customer Service. And it's not only them, but their vendors too including our Photographer Tomas. He spend so much time with us, getting to know. So personable and friendly. A rare and valued trait for a photographer!!! ***Cleanliness: This place is super clean. The staff is very attentive and didn't allow dirty dishes to remain on the guest tables. The restrooms are even very clean. A+ for sure. In essence, we highly recommend this venue, not just because the venue looks like it should belong in an amazing fairly tale but because they help your fairy tale come true!!!

We attended an event at the Trinity Event Center to remember a loved one. It was a beautiful event…read more The event space sells itself. Just take a look at the pictures I posted here on Yelp. What you see is what you get. Even when minimally decorated, from floor to ceiling, the space has a clean, elegant, and modern look. It's highlighted by tray ceilings with gorgeous chandeliers. The space is ideal for a party/reception. Hundreds were in attendance and there was plenty of space for everyone. There was live music, speeches, dinner, and dancing. Food was catered and served in the lobby outside the ballroom. A bar was set up in one corner of the ballroom. The Trinity Event Center is located behind Holy Trinity Cathedral Church (Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Google Maps). Not knowing this, I parked in front of the church, thinking it was the same as the event center. They are two separate buildings on the same property. There's plenty of parking. There was an event going on at the same time at the church, so there were a lot of cars. Additional parking is available around and behind the event center. The back lot is sort of hidden. Holy Trinity and the Trinity Event Center are in southwest Houston, near the Houston Funplex.

As a business owner I do not like to write bad reviews about businesses but this need to be…read moreaddressed. I went to a big wedding reception there last week Saturday from Dallas. The bathrooms were the worst I have seen in any event center in all my years in America. There were urine all over, toilet papers and paper towels on the floor and no toilet paper or soap for guests to use. I had to use the paper towel to wipe my self. This is unacceptable and should be corrected. Please before you rent this hall ensure that they have staff monitoring supplies and cleaning the toilets during your event. They are getting away with this because they serve mostly the immigrant community but we should not accept this level treatment from them. This was my first time going there for an event and will most likely not attend any event there again till they clean up. Every one I spoke to about my experience there said that is normal for this event center. We need to stop using them till they change. Your guests are there to honor you not to get infection from attending your event. They charge a lot for the halls but can not provide basic supplies for the bathrooms and have cleaners there during the events.

I called back again to make sure there wasn't a minimum or anything, and they confirmed my reservation. When I showed up on game day, I walked into the full bar that clearly had no tables and went up to a man with a Decoy shirt on who said they don't do reservations. I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

My 8-year-old daughter and I went in. the waiting room alone was definitely something to see. even though the tickets were slightly expensive at the time they have gone down since then by half. we started to walk through the exhibit I was floored. the amount of time effort and energy and creativity the people that put this together did in this space is far from just saying its amazing! ITS FREAKING PHENOMENAL! Each exhibit is well thought out and they are all awesome photo ops. We had a blast! A year later I took my 17-year-old son. The price went down but also some of the exhibits were gone. I was informed that they were building something else in place of, but was disappointed because a couple of my favorite exhibits were now missing. the rain room was awesome, but it's gone now. I think they should bring it back because walking through a rainstorm and not getting a single drop of rain on you is mind blowing. The fact that I can bring both of my children with huge age gaps and interests and both of them found this place to be interesting,fun and unforgettable is really all that has to be said.

Seismique Houston - Chambers' 16th Birthday!…read more We celebrated Chambers' 16th birthday with two of his friends and purchased our tickets through Groupon! I appreciate the creativity, imagination, and work that went into bringing Seismique to life. The interactive exhibits were extraordinary and definitely made for some fun pictures and memories! However, the overall experience was smaller and much shorter than we expected. We were also disappointed to discover that mini golf wasn't included in our ticket package, as we had understood it would be. While we enjoyed celebrating this special occasion, I wish there had been more to explore and a little more value for the money spent. A unique experience, but definitely one I'd recommend checking the package details and inclusions for before purchasing!

She walked us through every step from beginning to end, stayed in constant communication, and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the event.

Our guests were impressed with every aspect of the evening and are still talking about how beautiful and well-organized everything was. 10/10 Highly Recommend!!!!

Went to their Salsa Social that's the second Saturday of the month. I loved that they have free…read morelessons and then open 3 dance floors. You can learn and then have fun showing off what you learned. They have rooms dedicated to bachata, zouk, and the largest dance floor is for salsa. Each room has excellent music, some seating, mirrors and a great floor. You can tell they take pride in the place. The instructors are super nice and will show you the basics if you miss the lesson or need a refresher. In the salsa room you can buy water, Gatorade, pop, etc. It's BYOB right now but I didn't notice a lot of alcohol drinking, people were really there to dance. It was fun popping in to each room and dancing with different partners. As a female, it can be frustrating when a guy leaches on to you all night but the men here did not do that. Thwy respectfully asked for a dance and thanked me after each dance. If you happen to get a sticky guy, at least you can escape into one of the other rooms to get away. Somewhere between 11:30 and midnight various dance teams performed the different styles of dance. What an awesome deal. For $15 you can get a dance lesson, dance to excellent music on professional dance floors, and get a highly entertaining show. They also offer a series of dance lessons for various levels so you can take classes and get to know more dancers. I didn't take any photos because I was too busy dancing. I took video of the performances but can't upload videos to Yelp. I am so glad I found this place!

Doesn't look like much when you drive past - okay, I'm using the canned Yelp message there - and,…read moreif you arrive at night, it's likely that you'll drive right past it. The Palladium is located on a one-way freeway frontage road, so you can't make a U-turn to get there if you pass it up. But it's not one to avoid. The Palladium is not a franchise of a nationwide company named after Arthur Murray or Fred Astaire. It's a local concern, and doesn't offer as much as the other two studios I listed. I've gone to their Latin events, and here's what it looks like: They have in-house instructors, and also bring in people from outside Houston. (I wrote about California's Kathy Reyes in two prior reviews, I hope she's reading this and makes the trip to Houston some time!) They have classes, and they have dance parties. Both are run well, charging market rates. Lots of parking. One medium-sized dance floor, two smaller studios. The bar sells drinks, both alky and non-alky. Restrooms are deep in the bowels of the building, down the hall to the left. The people who come are a good company, and are fixinta learn to dance better and to have fun. The social dance community of Houston is smaller than in other cities, so there's much overlap from one instructor to another, and it's likely that you'll meet someone there who you danced with somewhere else. I haven't met any snobs yet, but you can't assume that they won't be there. I first went to the Palladium for New Years Eve. I've been several times since then. The experience was similar to others I've been to in other cities. I've had a good time, and never drove home thinking "well, that was a waste of a hundred mile drive one-way." Beaumont simply has nothing like The Palladium, likely because few people in the Coonie Triangle are interested in ballroom or Latin dancing. I encourage you to find a class or party and stop on by.

They took care of everything! I'm so happy I found this place, i had been searching for at least 3 months before I came upon this place online. I set up and appointment with the owner and once we meet her I knew that was the place for my wedding! They allowed us to come in for our food testing plus had the tables decorated in the colors I wanted as examples of how it would be on the day of the wedding. I changed my mind on the colors about 3 times and not once did she ever complain or make any hesitations. I love how it's family owned. On the day of my wedding I was literally stress free! The bartender kept my drinkers happy, the servers kept my hungry guest happy and the announcer (he works with them as well) kept the crowd laughing. I am so thankful for them! And let me tell you, the owner has amazing taste in decorating. She was like my personal planner. They hanged around the party until the end which meant a lot to me because I knew that if for any reason something went wrong they were just steps away. They kept the place nice and clean the whole time and even the restrooms were being monitored at all times to make sure people didn't make a mess inside. I really recommend this place to everyone who wants a perfect event because they will make it happen! Thank you so much Gardenia Hall!!!!!!!

They also broke my cake stand and claimed that it was not their fault. They stole my garter that I never got to throw.

They also poured out all of my champagne and kept my beer as well as the water that we had purchased and claimed that it was all gone. Please do not use this place.
