Mary is practically perfect in every way, but Palm Door was pretty much just perfect. I booked Palm Door for a friend’s wedding and it couldn’t have been a better choice. I definitely recommend Palm Door for any wedding or event.
First, the location is ideal. Palm Door is a downtown gem. It’s centrally located, and once the wedding was over, we just moved the party elsewhere! While PD does not have its own parking lot, the usual downtown street and garage parking are easily accessible. And in terms of price, Palm Door is a steal in this area.
Second, the layout and décor allow for endless possibilities in customizing the space for your event. The simple white walls and stained wood floors will work with any color scheme, and the open floor plan gives you tons of options for setting up the room. High ceilings and lots of windows allow for tons of natural light during the day and keep the space feeling airy and open, even with a full house. The bar definitely catches the eye and adds character to the main room. And the balcony overlooking Waller Creek, and running the entire length of the building, is another wonderful outdoor bonus space. Plus, the lounge furniture they have to offer gives you even more possibilities for creating unique and inviting areas for your guests.
And finally, the venue coordinator Sara was beyond helpful. She was very friendly, offered several ideas and shared experiences when I came to plan the layout of the room. She was always responsive to my slew of emails with random questions that came up near the wedding date. On the day of the wedding, Sara offered her assistance in getting the tables and décor set up, made sure all our needs were met, and even made sure the candles got lit as I was busy rounding up people for the ceremony to begin. At the end of the night, she helped “direct traffic” to make sure all the items we brought in made it home with us, and she coordinated having some leftover dinner and cake packed up for us to take.
If you’re planning an event, definitely consider Palm Door. Their in-house caterer Pink Avocado was also fantastic. You won’t be disappointed.
Pros: location, layout, ability to customize space to your taste
Cons: not one!
