The Bell Tower on 34th hosts ballroom wedding receptions of up to 300 guests at 901 W 34th St in Garden Oaks, near the Houston Heights. Ceremonies run beneath the bell tower or at the Waterwall, dinner and dancing fill the ballroom, and one in-house team handles the food, the service, and the timeline.
A Reception Room That Is Actually Rated for Your Guest List
The Carillon Ballroom, the Candela Ballroom, and the Legendary Contessa with Capital Ballroom and Courtyard each hold up to 300 guests with published capacities, so a reception of 150, 200, or 300 guests has a room that fits it. Weddings at The Bell Tower on 34th host up to 350 guests, and all ballrooms combine for full-facility events. The Contessa is booked together with the Capital Ballroom and Courtyard as one combination, and the Waterwall pairs with the Campanile Chapel and the Carillon Ballroom as the other.
Ceremony at the Waterwall or the Campanile, Reception in the Ballroom
The Waterwall hosts outdoor wedding ceremonies of up to 250 guests, and the Campanile chapel holds ceremonies beneath the bell tower, also up to 250 guests. Cocktail hour moves to the Chandelier Room or the Courtyard while the ballroom is flipped for dinner and dancing. Guests arrive once, park once, and never get back in their cars between ceremony, cocktails, and reception.
In-House Culinary and Beverage Service
Food is prepared fresh on site by Executive Chef Sergio Arellano and his team, and beverage service comes from the same in-house organization. There is no outside caterer to coordinate and no handoff to manage. Cultural and traditional menus are regularly produced, and your Event Producer runs the timeline from arrival to send-off.
