Level Two Reviews

When we work with people, we don't just care about their product, we want to work with and support good people. We initially hired Level Two because the space is a great party space, but also, they don't live to squeeze you for every last dime like we found at most other places we explored. Boy did our decision pay off. We were set for a June 2020 wedding when COVID hit. We moved our date twice and the owner, Jim MacAndrew, rolled with it. While other brides and grooms were in screaming matches with their vendors over money, date shifts, logistics, etc. Jim was so flexible, so graceful, so perfect. He didn't add more stress to an already stressful situation. That's what you get when you deal with real, down-to-earth humans. The best part was that Jim's been in this business over 30 years and acts much like a wedding planner (and a day-of coordinator). He made it to where we didn't even need a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. He answered every question, provided good insights, and not only did he make us confident he would deliver a great evening, he nailed it as I suspect he does time and time again. A few days before our wedding, we dropped all of our decor off at the venue and didn't have to do a damn thing. Amazing! Because Jim's been around the block a time or two zillion, he set up both the ceremony and reception spaces with our crap (I mean, decor...) and when we showed up, it looked amazing just as I knew it would. Speaking of amazing, all the tables, linens, chairs, plates, yada yada yada all come with it when you rent the space so you don't have to rent all of that individually. I'm sure there are people who want to go through the trouble of renting all those things separately, but we are not those people. It was beautiful, elegant, simple, and as far as we knew, it all went to plan. Not only would we recommend this venue to people, we'd use it again for any type of larger event. For a sleek event space backed by Jim's extensive wedding/event experience that he's more than willing to share, Level Two is the way to go.

Level Two was the best choice for our wedding reception! Jim MacAndrew and Mark Victory were so helpful throughout our entire planning process. Jim is very responsive to emails and I was a very detailed bride. He was always willing to work with my visions and offered any advice needed. Great options for affordable pricing. Amazing space in the heart of downtown, modern dance floor and lighting with cute suites! Offered a tasting and food was great- loved the all inclusive ability of venue, food, drinks, staffing, day of help, lighting, linens, parking etc. They even made our favorite speciality drinks happen: strawberry margs and mojitos. Owners are so sweet, even day of - in talking with guests and making everyone feel welcome. He even helped me find a lost phone after the event finished. Couldn't recommend higher for your next big event!

This venue offered me everything I was looking for on my wedding day September 2019. The staff was super overly friendly in which I loved loved loved Mark. It's upscale, clean, roomy, and the PERFECT VENUE to create an ELEGANT wedding atmosphere. It was a little over MY budget put I didn't care. The view of Downtown Dallas is spectacular! This is a rare find. I'm so excited! Level Two is the Place to be for you and your wedding party! Did I rhyme? Yup!
G&K 9-27-19 Thank you Level Two, you both are GREAT!

I can not say enough about the level of service I received from Jim at Level two!!! This place is absolutely amazing.. I had my wedding Ceremony and reception at Level Two on September 21st and everything turned out exactly as planned. Food was delicious, venue is modern and stunning, owner Jim knows what he’s doing and will make sure your day is all you expected and more. My guest had a blast and we received nothing but compliments on every aspect of our day. My friends told me throughout the wedding planning time I was to calm and it’s because I knew I was in good hands with Jim. I really appreciate Jim and Mark for making my special day all I would image and more. You can tell these guys know how to thrown a event! Thank you again!

SPECTACULAR!!
Only word I can think of to describe my reception. Myself, my husband, both families and my friends/guests had THE BEST TIME EVER! Thank you Jim for all your guidance and support. You, your staff and the venue are incredible!

My daughter's wedding and reception was held here in October 2016. Jim and his sister Lisa are amazing. The new venue location in the Dallas Design District is beautiful with plenty of parking. Guests could not stop ranting and raving about what a what a great time they had that evening.

You can trust Level Two to give great advice and take care of every detail!

Best decision we made!

I had my wedding at Level Two, and I can say with certainty that it was the best decision of my wedding. Jim and his sister Lisa helped at every step along the way of our planning process, offering advice and answering all my questions. Jim has seen a lot of weddings in his space, and is always willing to share his past experiences and let you know if he thinks something won't work, which I appreciated. And going through our set-up the day before, I was confident that Level Two's staff could realize the vision I'd created for their venue.
The day of the wedding, Lisa was a rock star. She coordinated our wedding party and major events, ran lights, helped set up and break down our wedding, and DJed, and was awesome at everything. The staff kept drinks flowing, served excellent food, and were always where they needed to be next. The night went so smoothly, from the first guest walking in to the break-down, that I almost didn't want to leave. After the wedding, all our guests have been raving about the venue.
Level Two is a hidden gem in downtown Dallas and I highly recommend it to any bride.

Incredible place to have your wedding. Perfect size and the owner is easy to work with.

Go and check this place out!!! I absolutely loved everything about this venue! I'm trying to figure out another event I could have there. Jim was amazing throughout the whole experience. He acted as our wedding planner - I wish I would have asked more questions because he knew so much about weddings and how everything really works out that day. This place was exactly what my husband and I wanted. It was beautiful and romantic it honestly doesn't need any decorations. All my friends were jealous and shocked about how beautiful Level Two is and the price!

At the reception my husband and I were taken care of like a king and queen by Jim. As soon as I was done with my drink Jim would come up out of no where to give me another. Jim told us when to do the food, cut the cake, our first dance, and in the middle of the night he pulled my husband and I aside so we could have a moment with each other. He absolutely thought of everything and didn't let us forget about anything. He kept the party moving perfectly! He made it to where we were able to enjoy our time instead of stressing about every little thing.
Thanks again Jim!

Level Two was AMAZING! It was the only place I looked at and we booked it immediately. It is a one stop shop. I booked catering, the DJ, and the reception hall, which included candles, tables, linens, and chairs. Jim is professional and very fair. I did not have one doubt or any worries before or the day of. Level Two's DJ was great, the dinner music was perfect and the dancing lasted all night. Jim and his crew are awesome and gave me my kind of perfect! -Nikole and Nathan

Level Two was such the perfect venue for our wedding! Our theme was a winery theme and it looked beautiful the night of our reception. Everything went perfectly and I wouldn't have wanted to have my reception anywhere else. Jim is so easy to work with and is easy to get a hold of, unlike some other vendors we had for the wedding. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone not wanting a standard ballroom for their wedding reception!

Jim is amazing. Level Two Events was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is an intimate and cozy location within the craziness of the Dallas downtown area. Jim walked us through everything, providing the location, planning services, DJ, catering, and everything else we needed. Jim was very easy to work with and so flexible! Even my outside vendors were impressed with him. We didn't have a wedding planner, so Jim was invaluable in helping us coordinate the vendors, timeline, food, drinks, music, and everything else. Our guests could not say enough about how much they loved Level Two.

I am so happy to have met and worked with Jim. He made our day so incredibly special, and I will be forever grateful to him and his team at Level Two Events. Listen to him; he knows what he's talking about. Take his advice; you'll be glad you did.

Level Two was the perfect place for our wedding reception. I wanted something different than the typical hotel ballroom and I wanted to be able to have a romantic, candlelit atmosphere (even though the reception was at 2pm), so as soon as I saw the space, I knew it was where my reception would be. The owner, Jim, is extremely knowledgable and helpful and the pricing is extremely reasonable! Our reception was beautiful and we are still hearing compliments on our wonderful everything was and how delicious the food was. I would definitely recommend having your reception here!

Wonderful place for a reception! Your guests will enjoy an elegant and intimate atmosphere with spacious seating areas, dance floor, stage, bar and accessible street level parking. Level Two offers a warm ambiance for your special event.

My wedding was truly amazing. Working with Jim was great, he did all the work and ideas and turned the room into a fairytale wedding!

Beautiful venue! I received MANY compliments on the place itself. Jim and his staff did a great job in both decor and food. Set up and clean up were done all by them. I just wish the dance floor were bigger because we had a lot of people dancing, but that's not a bad problem to have!

The communication was a bit of an issue because Jim is moving out of the country. Other than that, it was great! Definitely recommend it!

This venue is great. I loved the location and the ambiance surrounding. It gave us the ability to have a romantic candlelit reception even though it was at 3:00 PM. We received tons of compliments on the reception and food. The only complaint our guests had was that they didn't know when things were going on (i.e. the toast, cutting the cake, etc.) Nothing was clearly communicated to them. We were supposed to have 2 bar tenders and an organizer, but the organizer was also bartending which is where I think the communication break down occurred.

I was so happy when I found this place. The owner of the venue Jeff was quick to give me a response back when I inquired about openings which I appreciated. When we went to look at the place I knew I wanted it so I gave him a $1000 deposit to hold that date for me. This happened in October and my wedding was planned for March 8th, 2014. Well in November my mother who had been battling cancer became acutely ill and we had to put her on hospice. When she was lucid enough she stated that she wanted to be there for my wedding so my now husband and I got our marriage license that day and got married 3 days later in our backyard. My mom passed away 5 days later. I decided to just not have a reception in March and to cancel everything and try to save for a house so that my dad will hopefully move in with us so he won't be lonely. I contacted all of my vendors (florist, photographer, DJ, church, makeup person, Level Two) and told them the situation and asked if I could get my deposit back. The only one that said no was Jim from Level Two. I never signed a contract with him because when he sent it my mom had gotten sick and I never got to return it. In no way is he understanding. What's more, I feel that he will have no problem renting that place out for March 8th so for him to keep my $1000 deposit is very unethical.

Buyer Beware!!!!!! Make sure that you're completely sure that you will use this venue. Jim has been doing this for many years, as you will hear him say over and over again, so you'd think he would show some compassion for couples going through the stresses of planning a wedding. My fiance and I were not able to use his venue for our wedding in October of this year, but he kept our deposit anyways....As if he won't be able to find another couple. It's JUNE!
Heartless to say the least. We could not get a hold of him for almost a month to inform him of our unfortunate change of plans, and never even signed any paperwork or contract. Will not refer friends to him and will certainly warn whomever I can. Out $1000.
