I attended a wedding at 1111 Studewood recently and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that professionalism and courtesy were lacking. I was there to set up and personally saw this lack of professionalism. Firstly, the day of event manager's attire was completely inappropriate for such an occasion, wearing a crop top which gave off a very unprofessional vibe. It was disheartening to see her asleep upon our arrival with the other vendors and showing a lack of dedication to her role. Throughout the event, she was dismissive and unhelpful, which is unacceptable for someone in her position. The service provided by the bartenders was equally disappointing. Not only were they unprepared, setting up only 30 minutes prior to the event, but their demeanor was far from accommodating. Despite their lackluster attitude, they still expected generous tips, which was surprising given the quality of service provided. Furthermore, the overall execution of the venue fell short of expectations. Despite promises of a well-organized setup, the tables were not adequately arranged, and it was evident that corners had been cut in the package deal. The day of event manager's attitude extended beyond just guests, as she was also rude to other vendors such as the DJ and cake person, creating a negative atmosphere throughout the event. Ultimately, I would caution anyone considering 1111 Studewood for their special day. It's clear that the current management prioritizes profit over the happiness and vision of the bride and groom. Unless significant improvements are made, I would advise looking elsewhere for a venue that truly cares about making your wedding day memorable for all the right reasons. The only redeeming quality of this venue is its rooftop view of the city, but unfortunately, that alone is not enough to justify the lackluster...
Read moreI wish I would have seen reviews before my daughter booked and trusted this venue with her wedding. Our Wedding planner, that was recommended by this venue, and she also had issues with communication and scheduling with venue manager, so I went to owner and she backed him up and tried to explain everything away. Come the day of my daughter's wedding, neither the venue manager or the owner I spoke with were present and the ordered food ran out before they could feed all of our guests, and the quality of the food was less than what was promised and presented at our food tasting meeting with them. I felt it was a bait and switch on the food and no explanation as to why the food was such poor quality and how they could have run out of food for our guests. I am beyond disappointed for my daughter and my guests who traveled from out of state, as well as those local guests from our own Houston energy corridor, for this special occasion. Heads up, nice views, good presentation to sell you, but they failed when it counted and there were many warning signs which we should have listened to, but we chose to trust in them. I am still waiting for our wedding planner, "Set in Stone Events", to find out why they ran out of the food and the quality and taste was so poor in contrast to our food tasting meeting. I will post here as soon as wedding planner is returned a response to...
Read moreI didn't get a chance to even walk this space unfortunately. I called to see if I could get a same day appointment because I was unexpectedly in the area and was trying to take care of two things at once. When I called initially I got no answer but then the gentleman returned my call. I'm not sure if he was having a rough day or not but he came off very short with me. I was looking for a space for a year out and on a Sunday at that. I felt like he was trying to rush me off the phone with his questions and he shut me down as soon as I said I was looking to do a fashion show I wanted to do for about 150 people. Well according to their website it eays they can accommodate up to 140. Considering for my event I would not need any tables just chairs I thought it may be a great fit I could just reduce the number of people by 10. However I didn't get the opportunity to tell him anything else. He was too busy telling me they are not a good fit for me. To be clear I just needed chairs and to create an aisle way. It's unfortunate we couldn't work together because I love the pictures of their venue. It would have made for an amazing experience with dope pictures. I was doing the event for a charity but of course I didn't have a chance to let that be known because he was trying to rush me off the phone because "their event space was not a good fit for...
