Came here for a food event with Chef Dawn for Juneteenth. Nice space. Has a pretty sun room great…read moregot pictures, but warning that room isnt air-conditioned, so its essentially a green house. The space has an ability for a bar as well. Parking lot to the side, good amount of spots. And right across from a Metro Rail stop, if you wanted to use another mode of transport to get there.

When I first heard of the HESS Club I was like oh wow, going to the club of the HESS Corporation,…read morethis is going to be a swanky event! However, I don't think there is any affiliation between the two. Yet, the HESS Club is a venue hall that has served well to accommodate our company Christmas party each year. I like how parking is self park, but like other yelpers have mentioned, a bit odd, especially driving up that steep ramp to enter the parking area, so you may actually prefer to find street parking. However, when you enter you are greeted to a well maintained venue, and since we come in the winter, they even have a real fire going in the fireplace! I believe they have quite a few banquet rooms, but we always use the one on the left when you enter to sit down and eat and the long banquet room across the way to get our food and beverages. When it comes to the food, the chicken was a bit dry which wasn't a surprise, but I did enjoy the mac and cheese and buttery mashed potatoes as well as the fried catfish and the broccoli/squash medley. The coffee was also tasty, and complimented the large assortment of desserts. Also, I love how attentive the staff were, thanks for always making sure those chafing dishes were full or that I always had hot water when needed and for clearing out our dishes so quickly!

This place is AKA the HESS Club…read more I came here recently for a wedding reception. I didn't know what to expect, it was off westheimer near the galleria, but near basically office buildings. Parking and walking up to it was strange. Just didn't feel like I was about to attend a wedding reception. But once you enter, it's your typical banquet hall. Overall, the place is ideal for smaller weddings, and decorations are all up to you and your designer, but this event looked nice, there are multiple rooms, and a bar.

My wedding was going according to the plan until the actual day. It took me almost a year to write…read morethis review, because it still breaks my heart to think about my wedding. We were provided 3 planners to help us with the coordination, but they did not do a good job. According to my family and guests, they didn't know where to put the gifts/envelopes during the reception. Also, when the guests left, some of them did not get their wedding favors, which was heartbreaking because I put a lot of thought into them. Overall, the guests were not coordinated properly, and were not directed clearly. There was a very unfortunate incident that happened: halfway through our reception, a power outage occurred. The venue had absolutely no back up for the power outage. With no electricity or AC, the wedding reception was ended earlier than anticipated time. The total reception was supposed to be 4 hours, but the power outage occurred 2 hours in. The venue made sure to point us to the contact, which stated that the venue was not responsible for a power outage. It is disappointing that they did not have any fan or any type of back up plan for a power outage. The wedding was in July and it was HOT. They ended up compensating about 10% of the total amount we paid (1 hour worth of event). Our guests were gracious enough to stay about an hour after the power outage occurred, but the venue counted that. This wasn't fair because one of the main reasons everyone stayed is that the venue led us to believe that the power might come back. It wasn't until we got confirmation from a police officer that the power was not coming back, that we seriously considered ending the event early. Aside from the compensation, I was disappointed and devastated in regards to the owners attitude and response to the incident. Yes, I got a small amount of money back, but I couldn't even utilize the photo booth, DJ, and music because of the loss of electricity. Thankfully, I hired the DJ to prepare a full backdrop of light, otherwise we would have sat in complete darkness. It was a good thing that I did not rely 100% on the wedding for lighting. I do want to say one good thing about Sara, my coordinator. I really appreciated Sara for all of her work. She was very flexible and tried to meet all of my needs. She was always available and remembered things that I needed and mentioned. If it wasn't for Sara, this venue would deserve 1 star. Due to Sara's hard work, I will give 2 stars. If it wasn't for incident and the venue's terrible service, this place would have been a decent place for a wedding.

I contacted Di Amici Upscale Events when planning for a "celebration of life" service. I needed a…read morequick turnaround time and someone to walk me through decisions while I was grieving. The owner, Paula, was so kind and generous through the entire process. She was always easy to get in touch with and is genuinely a kind person who cared about our experience. We appreciated the value and simplicity of a venue with a package that had so much included in the price. Paula and her crew were "all hands on deck" before, during, and after our event and we didn't have to lift a finger. She made the venue beautiful for our event and put our minds at ease. I would definitely recommend Di Amici Upscale Events!

I just had my son's graduation party here and we were able to bring in our own food and alcohol! They went above and beyond with every single detail. I asked the manager why is it not listed online somewhere but he said they keep is booked with just word of mouth so they don't need to. I believe they also have smaller spaces available on the 2nd floor. I also heard a rumor that they will let you use it for free if they cater your event but not too sure so make sure to check with them.

The place has a lot of parking so that won't be an issue. My only concern with this place is there is only one restroom for each gender. It creates a line in the back of the establishment that can hang into the open event area. My friend who booked stated she had no problems booking and the photo machine was included which was nice. I had a hard time looking for it as it's in the plaza next to the barbershop. I was looking for a sign at the top of the building but look on the window for the name. Overall I think it needs a fresh coat of paint and maybe an additional bathroom stall. Check it out and see for yourself.

They were told they could bring in their own alcohol, sodas and water. However, 4 days before the wedding they were told they couldn't bring water & sodas. The guest have to pay for them their!! The bride didn't want certain decorations, but the people said they weren't moving them!! The day of the reception it was very warm in the building and especially in the VIP room upstairs. I went outside to get my bag that had my change of clothes, phone charger, meds etc... I put 4 half drank bottles of water in my bag. When I entered the building a Hispanic woman approached me and asked me what was in my bag. I started to tell her and she grabbed my bag to look inside!! How rude!! She then said I couldn't bring in my water. I asked why. She told me I had to buy the water. I told her I wasn't buying any water when I have my own. I then took my water back to my car and returned to the building. That Gestopo woman came rushing up to me to look in my bag AGAIN!! I told her that I didn't have any water! I left it in my car. She grabbed my bag and started going through it! I told her "it's my clothes, my panties, my socks, my charger & meds!" She let go and said "It's policy." I walked off and went up stairs. I told the wedding party about her. I was so mad! Around 9:00pm several of us noticed it started getting hot inside. I thought it was me, but I saw other people fanning themselves. We all came to the conclusion that the people of the place turned up the ac. They made it so uncomfortable that people were leaving. The place was rented until 1:00am!! I left after 10:30pm. It was too hot in there for me!! Did you know that this place used to be a strip club? Sure did! LOL!! Don't rent this place out.
