Ceremony, Reception, and Rehearsal Dinner in One Place

The ceremony runs in the Campanile chapel or at the Waterwall, cocktail hour moves to the Chandelier Room or the Courtyard, and dinner and dancing fill a ballroom rated to 300 guests. The rehearsal dinner can be hosted here the night before, and a morning-after brunch fits the Chandelier Room, so the whole wedding weekend stays on one calendar at one address. Guests park once with complimentary valet, and they never get back in their cars between the ceremony, the reception, and everything around them.

The Chapel on Site: Ceremonies Beneath the Bell Tower

The Campanile chapel holds wedding ceremonies of up to 250 guests beneath the bronze bells of the tower itself. The Waterwall hosts outdoor ceremonies of up to 250 guests on the same property, so a ceremony indoors or outdoors is a scheduling choice, not a second venue. Either way, the reception follows in the ballroom without a shuttle, a caravan, or a gap in the day.

Every Room, Every Moment, One Team

Couples who book The Bell Tower on 34th are not renting a room, they are producing a wedding with one accountable team. Here is how the spaces work together and what the all-inclusive Full Service Experience covers.

The Campanile (Chapel). up to 250 guests.

The Waterwall. up to 250 guests.

The Carillon Ballroom. up to 300 guests.

The Legendary Contessa with Capital Ballroom and Courtyard. up to 300 guests.

The Chandelier Room. up to 225 guests.

The Candela Ballroom. up to 300 guests.

A typical wedding day flows ceremony in the Campanile chapel or at the Waterwall, cocktail hour in the Courtyard or the Chandelier Room, then a reception in the Carillon Ballroom, the Contessa with Capital Ballroom, or the Candela. Your Venue Advisor helps you select the combination that fits your guest count, timeline, and vision.

Because so much is handled in-house, couples compare outcomes, not line items. Food and beverage are prepared and served by the in-house culinary team, including cultural and traditional menus. A planning and coordination team keeps the day smooth from arrival to last dance. Every price is all-in: the venue, Chef's cuisine, beverage service, our event team, service charge, and tax. There is no separate venue rental fee. Published per-guest pricing is Saturday $230, Friday/Sunday $210, and Monday through Thursday $165. Your exact price is confirmed on your tour once your date and guest count are set. Parking is on site for guests, and the Garden Oaks location at 901 W 34th St puts you about 15 minutes from downtown Houston. Since 2009 the team has produced more than 5,000 events, backed by more than 1,000 five-star reviews.
