To the Clients of The Rice Crystal Ballroom: Your Event Is Not Lost.

The Bell Tower on 34th is open, fully staffed, and prepared to take your event from where it stands today to a flawless celebration. You do not have to start over.

Dear former client of The Rice Crystal Ballroom,

We were sorry to learn of the sudden closure of The Rice Crystal Ballroom. If you are reading this, you are likely holding a contract, a date, and months of planning with nowhere to put them. That is a stressful place to be, and you deserve a calm, clear path forward.

You have one here.

The Bell Tower on 34th has been producing weddings and special events in Houston for more than 18 years. We are open, we are stable, and we are structured almost identically to the program you already planned around: a full in-house culinary team, a fully TABC licensed bar, and one dedicated staff responsible for your entire event under one roof. In most cases, the plans you already made will translate here with very little rework. You will not be handed a list of outside vendors and told to start again. We handle it.

A gesture of goodwill for displaced clients.

We understand that many Rice Crystal Ballroom clients lost deposits they may never recover. So we will do our part. When you book your event with The Bell Tower on 34th, we wll work with you to get it done. Bring your Rice Crystal Ballroom contract or payment records to your tour and we will take care of the rest. This is not a promotion. It is simply the right thing to do for families and companies who did nothing wrong.

Your next step.

The most important thing you can do right now is protect your date. Several dates are already in play as displaced clients reach out, and tours tend to change availability quickly. A private tour takes about an hour, commits you to nothing, and will give you complete clarity on whether your event has found its new home. Worst case, you cross us off your list with confidence. Best case, your planning picks up right where it left off.

Call Owner Roger Igo directly, 713-409-4000, or click below to check your date and schedule a private tour. We will confirm where your date stands and walk you through exactly how the transition works.

You planned a remarkable event. It still deserves to happen, and we would be honored to see it through.

With a steady hand,

The Bell Tower on 34th Owner Roger Igo, 713-409-4000
