We had our wedding at Palm Door about a month ago.
The space is great for people who want to do some partying. The bar is huge along one entire wall in the main room. There is an even longer deck out back overlooking Waller Creek and a separate gallery space off the main room with a lounge-type feel. The walls are white and the floors and bar are stained wood so the space can easily be tailored towards whatever vibe your event is going for. And the downtown location was the perfect compliment to an urban couple like us.
I was shocked when I saw the Palm Door facility rental rates in comparison to other wedding venues. Palm Door was extremely affordable. Furniture and linens were included in the price too!
The Palm Door staff was friendly and helpful. On the day of our wedding, Sara did everything in her power to make us feel at ease. She coordinated our vendors and set the room up according to floor plans I created (at the very last minute). She is very knowledgeable about event planning and I respected and asked her input on many of my event logistics.
While the building is continually being spruced up, the indoor and outdoor space is not new and has a bit of a weathered look to it. Also, Waller Creek is notoriously traveled by transients so trash can pile up and smells can emanate from it, however the Palm Door staff tries their best to deal with it. The creek was clear and clean the day of our wedding.
If you are looking for an affordable, modern space with a knowledgeable event staff in which to throw a lively event that your guests will be impressed by, call the Palm Door.
Pros: space is a blank canvas
Cons: older building
