Piazza in the Village

I booked my wedding at the Piazza about 2 months ago and I am SO EXCITED that I am able to have my wedding here. Honestly, the only reason I think we decided to book with the Piazza is because of Lorna... and because it's BEAUTIFUL! Lorna is such an amazing, sweet lady. When we first toured she made me feel like I was the only bride who was ever going to get married there. The Piazza was the first venue I looked at and after that we toured The Milestone, Ashton Gardens, and some smaller places around the Dallas area; but my mom and I kept finding ourselves thinking, "These places are nice... but she doesn't give a tour like Lorna does, and this sure isn't the Piazza." My mom and I decided to have another meeting with Lorna to get a second look and to run some numbers. At the second appointment Lorna was so excited to see us again and sat with us for almost 2 hours just running numbers and giving us different options; I think we almost closed down the place that night, but she never rushed us. After begging and pleading my parents to give me the go ahead, we finally signed during the third appointment. I don't think it's just a job for Lorna, you can really tell that she absolutely loves what she does. Even though I am a booked client now, Lorna still treats us with the same kindness and respect that she did on our first tour. She is always a call or a text away and never hesitates to answer my questions. I think I've always known the Piazza was where I was going to get married; but I am so thankful Lorna was there to help show my parents how amazing I already knew the Piazza was going to be!! I cannot wait for my wedding and to meet the rest of the staff. If they are anything like Lorna it will sure be one magical day!

All my guests LOVED the food and the venue! It was a beautiful wedding and reception and wouldn't change a thing. They are kind of pricey and tend to nickle and dime, but it's well worth it at the end.

The chapel at the Piazza is by far one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. I even switched venues just because of the chapel. I loved how everything was at one centralized location so that guests did not have to worry about getting lost going from the ceremony to the reception. Our wedding planner(that the Piazza provides for you), Michelle, was more than amazing. The Piazza is certainly not a venue that you want to choose if you are on a strict budget or trying to save money because it is quite pricey(but TOTALLY worth it!) This is one of the very few venues in which going to see it in person is better than the photos on their website!

Our wedding at the Piazza was incredible. Everything came out as good or better than we expected. We can't say enough about our coordinator Laura. On the night of the wedding, my new husband and I did not have to think of a thing. It was definitely a night to remember. I was a premier bride and highly suggest that package if you can afford it. You get alot of little extras that really made the night.

I contacted Lorna at Piazza in the Village, we corresponded several times. I stated to her that I was not flexible on our wedding date. I Called her 2 days prior to our tour to make certain the venue was still available. I told her if it booked up to let me know and we'd cancel our tour. We drove 1.5 hours to get there all to be asked as soon as we walked through the door "if we were flexible on our date". Apparently, they had booked this place the evening before and didn't have a chance to give us a "courtesy call". Lorna had to arrive to work prior to the tour but didn't think for a second to give a courtesy call. To top it off HWY 114 is completely under construction which will not be complete anytime soon. She didn't have the ability to tell us ahead of time to use an alternate route. She tried selling us on the Grand Ballroom for a 100 people which would look absolutely ridiculous as it seats close to 300. The venue is beautiful but Lorna is not "up to speed".

MOST AMAZING NIGHT OF MY LIFE AND IT WAS BECAUSE WE GOT MARRIED HERE!!! From day one of walking into this venue and being completly wowed by the beauty of this place to meeting Robin and David.... to the very end where I cried because I was going to miss them all so much.... HANDS DOWN THE BEST PLACE TO GET MARRIED IN DFW AREA!!! Laura was my coordinator and was always helpful... Linda was my captain and I mean there was not a second I didn't have a drink in my hand!! All of our friends and family kept asking where did you find this place.... we even had someone write on our facebook we all feel like we should send you a thank you card for the most amazing wedding we have ever been to!! AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THE PIAZZA!!! From the food, to the staff, to the venue, to the vendors they are associated with this place is where you want to start your new chapter LADIES!!! They have thought of it all!!! From the surround sound system, to the drop down tv's to paly a slideshow before your wedding.... to the bridal suite where you can watch the guest enter to the photobooth, the ice sculpture, the smallest details this place is worth every dime!!! If I could do it all over again and again and again the Piazza would always be my choice!!!

If anyone were to step foot in this place you would know it is drop dead beautiful! You are assigned a wedding coordinator 3 months out. Laura was mine and she was FANTASTIC! She was super sweet and was really flexible with my crazy retail schedule. She answered any questions any of us (me or my parents) had. Everything ran so smoothly (minus the dj but that isn't her fault). Plus to this day I still have people commenting on the food and how amazing it was! The chef there def. works his magic! So many people commented how gorgeous the wedding was!! Thank you Piazza!

AMAZING!! So glad we chose the Piazza for our wedding. Everything was PERFECT! They ran everything completely according to schedule as planned! Michelle was my wedding planner and we loved her just as much as the venue! She took care of everything for us and it was a joy to work with her!

I write as the mother of the Bride. My daughter Brandi married Kevin Aug 5th, 2011. From the first day that Randi told my daughter of the Piazza, it has been nothing but the most delightful expierence for Brandi. When you enter into an agreement with the Piazza, you are assigned a a staff person that is your special representative, to assist in the planning of your wedding or event. The details and the special touches they give to both the bride and groom is beyond words. Michelie from the beginning assisted Brandi and Kevin with the planning and vendors. The night of wedding Michelle and Bethany, graciously handled the wedding and reception evening working with families members, the Bride and her attendants, as well as the Groom and his attendants. Making all so comfortable. The Piazza coordination was both efficient and professional. Kate Foley Design came in and transformed the beautiful chapel and ballroom area into a floral wonderland., Keith Long who officated at the service was so personable and warm. The Piazza staff was gracious in accomodating the wonderful ,delicious,oversized wedding cake made by Michelle ofTexas Star Bakery. The Piazza reccommende the Dj, Randy Ro Productions , and you must visit his website, he has the reception broken down into sections and you can choose from various songs or pick your own. While the Piazza has built in cameras to video the wedding, which are fabulous, Brandi and Kevin wanted another video team to film the entire wedding and reception. Betty and John of 2 Talents Video, were like family the entire evening. Again Michelle and Bethany accomodated them when needed. The guest and the famiies as well as the Bride and Groom simply enjoyed the evening. The most difficult thing about hosting an event at the Piazza is the multitude of choices they offer, from lighting, the color of lights, the food choices, bar choices, to effect the mood you want. It was all the small details that made this wedding so magical. Experiecing an evening at the Piazza, I thank you for your professionalism and warmth.

LOVE the Piazza! We booked our wedding here over a year in advance - once we saw the site, we had to have it. Yes, it's a little pricey; when we first sat down with Robin and saw the food and bev minimums, we had a minor panic attack. However, when you add up all the costs involved, it really all evens out. We saved a couple hundred on transportation alone just by having the ceremony and reception in the same location. These guys have literally thought of everything. The staff are amazing; Laura was out coordinator, and she was always super timely about getting back to me and answering my (many) questions. She really took care of everything for our wedding, including using her "MacGyver bag" as my husband called it to fashion a bout for one of the groomsmen out of other florals when the florist sent them over one short. Literally everything has been thought through and designed for the perfect event at this place. The staff was constantly coming up to my husband and I at our wedding asking if we needed anything; hors d'oeuvres were set at our places (since we missed cocktail hour taking pictures), we were served first, drinks were brought to us wherever we were, and pieces of each type of cake were set aside at our places as well. Laura kept checking in throughout the night to make sure things were going the way we wanted, and if there were any issues or catastrophes, I didn't know about them. There were all manner of staff there for our wedding, and everyone kept talking about how beautiful, fun, and well-planned our wedding was. This place knows how to handle an event, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Piazza in the Village made my dream wedding come true. From the minute I set foot in the chapel, I knew I had to get married there. It is a little pricey but definitely worth it! Laura was my wedding coordinator and from the start, she was incredible. She took so much stress off of me and I knew when she said she would take care of it, she would. I had her cell phone on speed dial and definitely used it. She was so quick to respond with everything and so helpful. This venue definitely has the wedding process down to an art. Everything ran so smoothly, I didn't have a chance to worry about a thing cause they were on top of everything. We wanted to have a buffet but had too many guests so we ended up having a plated dinner. The food was amazing! everyone we talked to mentioned how great the food was as well. The photobooth was a huge hit! I had a scrapbook for guests to glue their picture and write us a message. I think this is one of my most cherished items I have from the wedding. My husband and I laughed hysterically the first time we went through them. On my wedding day, Laura and Katie Randolph were by my side and knew when I needed something before I even knew. I can't thank them enough for making our special day perfect. The Piazza really did think of everything here. My wedding was great, just wish it wouldn't have flown by so fast!

Piazza in the Village offers excellent service. The venue is hands down the most beautiful and breathtaking venue close to Dallas. They think of every detail! If you haven't been in person, check it out. The photos are gorgeous but don't do the place justice. My wedding planner from Piazza was fantastic (Laura). I actually didn't have to hire an outside wedding planner b/c Laura was so helpful. I had her cell phone number and she was always there when I needed her. There was literally NO stress the day of my wedding b/c everything runs so smoothly there. The only "negative" I could say is that they nickle and dime you for EVERYTHING!!! It was a really expensive venue but worth every penny!!! Can't comment on the food much b/c I was too nervous to eat. Everyone (including my husband) said the food was delicious. We had action stations and I think it worked out well. Looked delicious:) The biggest hit of the night was the photo booth. When people dress up and take photos it prints 2 copies. One for them to take home and one for the bride and groom to keep. The Piazza had a great idea to have a strapbook laid out for the guests to paste their photos in and write a msg along with it. The photos were hilarious (especially toward the end of the night). I ordered photo booth frames online at http://photoboothframes.com/ and gave them to each guest as a party favor.

I got married at piazza October 2nd. All the way up to the wedding day i said that piazza was overpriced and was quite adamant about that. Until i saw what an amazing job their whole staff did. The best run wedding chapel ever. They earned every cent they made. Towards the beginning when they first opened up they were nickeling and diming, but after they see what works they cut alot of that out. The Chapel is breath taking and the ballroom is just as spectaculor. The food was out of this world, everyone couldnt stop talking about it. Michelle is a godsend, she made sure everything ran smoothly there is no better place.

I had the absolute perfect wedding here!!!! There were a few issues in the beginning regarding who was actually coordinating my wedding and it took a couple of phone calls to get everything figured out, but was well worth the small amount of trouble. Michelle and Heather were wonderful to work with!!!! I cannot express that enough. Even when my husband became very ill and we thought there was a possibility we would have to put everything on hold for several months, they helped me and reassured me that everything would work out. They were as flexible with me as possible and in the end it was all SPECTACULAR! The food is amazing! The waitstaff is amazing!!! Everyone in attendance for the ceremony and reception told us this was the best wedding they had ever been too. I still get compliments from friends when I see them. Oh, and they even web-cast the ceremony live for friends and family who were unable to attend! We had many more people with us than just those in the chapel. I wish we could do it all over again! We just had such a wonderful, wonderful time! Again...IT WAS PERFECT!!!!!

My father-in-law just got married at the Piazza this past May and I was completely ashonished how the staff treated the bridal party and the family of the bride and groom. The staff was soo rude. The bridal party was running late and the staff continously harrassed the bride about needing to hurry. At one point I got volunteered by the wedding coordinator to set up the table arrangements in the reception hall. I had no clue what they were suppose to look like and neither did the coordinator. I also had to be the messenger for the caterer to the wedding coordinator. They had me walking back in forth from the chapel to the reception hall ( which was down the street from the chapel) to get questions answered that I believe they should have known months in advance. There was NO COMMUNICATION between the staff. This kind of \"professionalism\" continued the rest of the wedding. In the end, the bride ending up CRYING right before they were suppose to do their last dance because of the constant issues they were having with the staff. I would think if you are in the wedding buisness that would be you NUMBER ONE goal...make the bride happy dont make her cry.

Great venue! The food and service was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

The Piazza in the Village exceeded our expectations. Everything was fabulous. Michelle was an excellent coordinator and really gave us peace of mind. The manager, servers, and all the staff were top notch. Food was excellent too. The place is a must for a beautiful wedding. Yes it is costly but they did not disappoint. You must see this place for yourself!

The Piazza is simply beautiful!! I immediately fell in love with the chapel when I saw it; the acoustics are amazing! Things are very pricey at the Piazza, for example, my father wanted Guinness served so they charged him almost 5x as much as it cost per case for them to serve it, along with paying for the open bar. I guess it's a given, but when they tell you anything, especially about things being included towards your minimum, make sure it is written out in the contract before you sign it. The girls that work at the Piazza are extremely helpful and get back to you quickly about your questions. In particular, I really enjoyed working with Michelle and Alex. Michelle was the best at helping me prepare for the wedding and was on top of everything that needed to be done the night of the wedding. Michelle had all of the details in check. The food and atmosphere at the Piazza are the best! I would recommend the Piazza to anyone. I really loved getting married here and celebrating in their reception hall after! My husband and I had a magnificent wedding here!

Great Location

I absolutely Loved my wedding! My husband and I signed our contract to have our wedding here BEFORE the facility was even BUILT! The staff of the Piazza is so honest and attentive that I would not have gone anywhere else. While there are less expensive venues in the metroplex, few venues include all of the services that come with the Piazza, and it's so unique!! I would tell Brides who are working with a budget but want a truely unique and beautiful experience to consider having your wedding on a Sunday or look into creative ways of finessing the touches of your wedding yourself. Your wedding really is an investment and the return you get on it is the memmories and joy of knowing that you started your life together in a way that aptly represents you and your husband. The Piazza is the only place to get married. The end.
