"The Space Dallas" is a wedding venue that offers the perfect blend of urban chic and creative freedom. Its distinctive character, adaptability, and commitment to making each wedding a true reflection of the couple's love story make it an ideal choice for those seeking a one-of-a-kind celebration. My experience at "The Space Dallas" was truly memorable, and I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to couples looking to craft a wedding that is as unique and vibrant as their love story. https://djtommyscott.com/ https://www.photoboothsofdallas.com/ read more

The Space is just what the name implies. A giant space. It's near Deep Ellum, so the location itself isn't bad. I've been to a few local shows there in the "pop punk"-ish genre. It's definitely not one of my favorite venues for concerts. I hear they host a lot of other types of events there too, so clearly music isn't their only moneymaker (which is good, because the sound kinda leaves something to be desired. The Good: The place is relatively big, if a bit nondescript. Although I can see how you could decorate and jazz it up a bit - could be a nice, urban-style backdrop if you were willing to bring stuff in. There's a parking lot about half a block away that fits a decent amount of cars. Sometimes there's a guy there making you pay $5, sometimes there's not. I have yet to figure out if he's just a really smart scam artist making people pay, or if he's hired by the venue. The Bad: Holy sweltering heat. For such a big space, they had ONE vent blowing cold air. I literally thought I was going to expire at one point. I didn't pay $10 to go into a sauna filled will un-showered teenage boys. *shiver* The sound...is not great. I heard quite a few of the bands complain about the PA, or lack thereof. Again, isn't not a "concert" venue, so maybe that just comes with the territory. They. Ran. Out. Of. Beer. I'm not sure I have to expand on that any further. The front door faces the Live Oak Lofts (or one of the buildings over there), so they don't let people stand and mingle outside. Generally I get that, but may I remind you it was about 125 degrees in that place. It's not the worst place that I've been to, but as I said before, just not one of my favorites. read more

The actual Space was a fine venue, nothing too fancy on the eyes, but it got the job done! More importantly, the event we did there--a tamale and tequila night--was very fun! We had a professional chef show us the ropes of making our own tamales. Granted these aren't as difficult as I thought they were, but it is still fun to prep your own food. As the tamales cooked, we went to the back of the venue and tasted the different tequila drinks that were prepared for us (small shot sizes). A fun time at a cool place. The coordinator was very helpful and was quick to respond to questions. ~Carpe Diem~ read more

My fiancé and I were excited to host our engagement party at The Space last month. When we went to take a look at the venue about a month prior to the event date, the owner, Richard, gave us a date we would be able to go in and set everything up so we wouldn't have to go in the day of before the event. We thought this was amazingly nice of him..until of course the day before the date he promised us he was not responding to texts or calls along with his wife. I got back in touch with the event coordinator and she said he won't be able to make it because he's on vacation. Like...okay? I suppose only a couple hosting an engagement party can understand the importance of not being left hanging when there's so much to do?! Chelsea, the event coordinator, was good about communicating, but I wish Richard was better about sticking to his words to make our event as smooth as possible. read more

Attended a wedding here. Got there early enough to park in a reserved lot for $5. A bit sketchy and covered in broken glass but fairly close to the entrance. The staff was effecient, the lighting was cool, and it was large enough for dancing, etc. read more

I hardly ever give reviews especially bad ones but it's been a whole year plus and I am still bothered by what happened. Let me set the stage by saying that My daughter and my cousin were getting married a couple months apart and both were looking at The Space as their venue.my daughter an family met with the owners Aurelia and Richard and had an enjoyable meeting. In that meeting we discussed... us or our guest paying for parking; us having our own servers; us bringing our own dishes....everything was agreed on and she would let us know when the contract would be ready to signed. We went to sign the contract and pay the deposit on the day that my cousin was there viewing the venue. We told Aurelia that we were family and that we had the same Wedding Coordinators. Apparently the Coordinators went to visit the venue regarding my cousins wedding contract and there was an issue. So, out of the blue one day my oldest daughter (not getting married) gets a phone call from Aurelia telling her that our Coordinator was not allowed in the facility and we would need to use someone else to coordinate the wedding because ours was rude and difficult. My daughter told her that she had the wrong person and that she would pass the message on the the Bride. The Bride called to see what the problem was because we were settled... or so we thought. She was upset because our Coordinators were trying to understand why my cousin couldn't bring in dishes...why she couldn't use her own servers and why my cousin couldn't bring in alcohol and her bartender anymore (which was in her contract that she could). The problem was that The Space had just gotten their liquor license and she wanted them to use theirs and they were saying that they had already bought liquor and hired a bartender. When my cousin and Coordinators did agree they went on to tell them that they were trying to change everything and they were like no it is in the contract. The Space then insisted that she hire their servers because a caterer would have to remove and stack the dishes... it was explained to The Space that the lady we had doing that was a caterer. Well we told Aurelia that she got us mixed up with our cousin's event and that they were there on the cousins behalf and not ours...we didn't even have a bartender, but that there would be a problem with us because she was changing what we had agreed to. She apologizes and said that we were the nice ones and she still wanted us to have our event there but she was going to give them their deposit back. I told her that she would still have to work with the same Coordinator and she insisted that I get a new one. I also told her that we would need our contract to remain the same because we split the cost of dishes with my cousin and that we were still going to use servers. She said everything was fine except the her working with the coordinator. I asked her to refund us our deposit because she would be there. She told me no she would not refund us because she wanted to keep us because we were nice but would give them their refund because they were difficult ... I told her that she was punishing us for being nice??? I asked the Coordinators what happened on that final visit and they let me hear a recording that was hard to listen to. Aurelia and Richard were EXTREMELY RUDE to them and would talk over them not allowing them to say anything. It was sad to believe that they operate their business in such a disrespectful manner! I was appalled! Richard actually kicked them out of the venue... I wish I could post it just so they can hear themselves behave so badly. And, she did have us mixed up because on the recording she said my cousins name and said she is nice and so is her grandmother (talking about my daughter and my mother) because one of our Coordinators is my cousins grandmother! but she argued me down when i tried to explain to her that she had us mixed up, Oh and what the other review said about parking was true... Aurelia was going to charge us $350. to rent the parking lot for our guest. Then she came back and said she would take it out of the contract because the parking lot belonged to someone else and they couldn't charge us to park there... WHAT??!! I would take to heart the reviews posted... I wish I had. On a good note my daughters reception turned out BEAUTIFUL because God allowed us to met a man named Jim who had a facility called LEVEL TWO 1250 Slocum #758, 75207 it is in the design district and it is absolutely gorgeous! read more

We recently had a cooking experience with about 16 of our good friends! The chefs were so helpful and fun to work with! We absolutely loved the entire experience, we learned to cook sushi, and work together as a team! The space was an awesome place to have a great time with friends and learn something new! read more

I attended a Rotary event at "The Space" tonight. It was a fabulous location, easy to get in and out of, the staff was great and we had a wonderful time. Kudos to a great location!! Thanks y'all!! read more

From my first meeting with Aurelia, the owner and event coordinator, I knew The Space was the perfect venue for my wedding. I told her my vision for the day...low-key brunch buffet with never ending mimosas...man, she and Chef Richard delivered!!!! The contract was upfront. There were no hidden fees or up charges. Easy communication! I simply dropped off my centerpieces and decor the day before, and I walked in the next morning to everything I envisioned and more. The staff took excellent care of my family and friends from the moment they arrived. Aurelia even brought a tray of mimosas upstairs to the bridal suite, which was perfect for the "please don't let me fall while I'm walking down the aisle" jitters. Everyone was going on and on about how wonderful the food was, but unfortunately I hadn't had a chance to eat. Chef Richard heard me say that I hadn't gotten a chance to eat but that I was content knowing everyone enjoyed themselves. Next thing I know, he's handing me a bag with 2 to-go containers. Talk about above and beyond! I'd recommend this venue 100 times over again. Aurelia and Richard, thank you for creating the perfect day for us. read more

Attention Event Planners! Do not book this venue. The owners were horrible to my client and her guest. The in house planner and the owners do not communicate and the day of the event we were told many things we could not have even if it was locked in our contract. The food was not "Chef" prepared & when u complain they threaten u!!Even tried to keep "steal" my client and my personal iteams. We had to threaten the Dallas police and then we were able to retrieve them. Horrible experience over all. read more

Last weekend I held an event for my daughter at "The Space". It was a wonderful and memorable experience. The facility was clean, the staff was very professional and worked well with us to ensure all of our requests were met. The food prepared by Chef Richard was fantastic!! We will definitely use this venue again!!! read more

We had a wonderful event benefiting Dress for Success Dallas on Friday evening. Chef Richard donated the space and his wonderful cooking skills to put together an amazing evening. The venue was great for the type of event we were doing - enough space for a little over 200 guests with room to do a fashion show and set up multiple cocktail areas. Because it is a family business the ENTIRE family gets involved to make sure everything is perfect. Thank you Chef Richard, wife Aurelia and your wonderful family for donating your time and energy to benefit Dress for Success - Dallas. read more

I really do not ever do this, but in this case I have no choice but too. I recently had my wedding here and the venue it self is nice. It has a industrial/modern feel to it. When I first met with the owners Aurelia and "Chef" Richard if that is what you would like to call a chef it went okay. I should have known something was fishy when they offered a tax free event if I could pay all cash so that they would not have records of the money exchange due to tax purposes Kind of shady if you ask me. I had a tasting and the food was great at the time. It was fajitas, charro beans, and rice along with salsa. I decided that this was the place that I wanted to have my wedding at, so the contract was signed. It consisted of 4 servers,a cleaning crew, 1 bartender, valet service, dinnerware, and the food. And they promised me tea or lemonade for my guest to drink w/meal but I never received the tea or lemonade. They said "the tea or lemonade wasn't in the contract." But they still up sold me glassware knowing that they were not going to provide my guests with anything to drink. We had no plates for the appetizers or fruit/cheese trays. I had 4 servers and the contract stated they were suppose to serve my guests and keep them happy. I had two servers on the floor serving and the other two were in the kitchen helping the chef plate the food. I thought that was the job of a line cook. All the food came out cold, even my plates and we were served first by the chef! I received refried beans not charro beans and I got bland cold rice. I also received pico de gallo instead of salsa. All my guest got the pico after they had already finish eating. Great timing on the pico wouldn't you say. My bartender was okay, she kept all of my guests happy with drinks. But, she ended up being the owners daughter and I paid for an experienced bartender. I don't even think she was TABC certified. The alcohol was not measured out and not once did she card any of my guests. By the end of the night I had drunk minors at my wedding. I had supplied the alcohol so it was open bar. I had to even supply the limes, cherries, and ice. My husband had to leave twice due to the ice. Aurelia said that the ice would be very expensive if they supplied it. I brought the cups and the bartender/daughter complained that they were to small. It's a wedding not a frat party. The valet was great not one complaint there. The cleaning crew that I paid for on my invoice ended up being the same waitress that I paid to serve my guest. I feel that I paid double time for them. When it came time to slice the cake they didn't even have plates. Aurelia had to take off to Walmart to buy paper plates. My family had to help cut and serve the cake. No server or chef was around to help out. Half way thru the cake cutting the "chef" finally comes out to help. I paid for full service. I should've had my wedding in my backyard! The next day after my wedding I called the owner to get the rest of my belongings that I left which was just my beer tub. She said they were closed and to come Monday. I could not make it Monday so I called again and made arrangements for Tuesday. When I arrived there 3 days later they then demanded a credit card # for a chair that they said was damaged at my wedding. Not once did they mention to me that a chair was damaged when I spoke to them on the phone. And when she told me about it she said that they saw the kids on it but didn't want to tell the kids anything because it was during the wedding and she did not want to spoil anything. That is kind of odd to me. how are you going to allow someone to damage your property and not say anything. But then complain later. At that time I informed them that I had to discuss things because after reviewing the contract I did not receive items on my contract and that I was not happy with the service that my guest or I received. For example, like the refried beans I was served instead of charro beans and the "Chef" response was "Oh charro beans are for buffet." I was not advised of that and they knew that I did not have buffet service. They listened for a little while and then they got angry with me.They were quick to retort for every comment or complaint I had, you figure they would be more empathetic after spending over $5k with them (and it was all cash might I remind you) I advised them that I would have my husband call them and "Chef" stated, quote on quote "Whatever, I am not going see you anymore, get your sh** and get out of my place." As I walked out with my tub in my hand, he screamed something at me but I did not look back or respond. Then Aurelia follows me outside and says that I dragged my tub on her wood floors but that was not true. After all that I began to personally call of the vendors that we used at my wedding to thank them for a great job. I was then told that Aurelia was going up to them asking them what I paid for their services.Not professional. Now our wedding pictures on their website read more
