Excellent experience

I HIGHLY recommend Zahra Ali and the Harwood Hospitality group. We had a tight timeline to plan our wedding and Zahra and the Harwood Hospitality team made what could have been very stressful, a seamless and positive experience! The referrals given, the communication and the overall partnership was truly 10 out of 10. Don't think twice if you are considering working with Zahra/the Harwood Hospitality- it is a must!

Zahra is the absolute best

I cannot express in enough words how easy Zahra made wedding planning. I WISH I had known about the ability to hire as a wedding coordinator and not just venue manager, because she went above and beyond even my own day-of coordinator in terms of execution, friendliness, competence, trustworthiness, and overall assistance with our special day. From our first meeting onsite to the very last, the wedding day, she made me feel heard, and that means more than you know during such a major event.

Marie Gabrielle is a hidden, European-like garden in the heart of downtown Dallas. When looking for a venue for my wedding, I knew I wanted a garden wedding, but I also wanted something in the middle of the city so that out of town guests could enjoy their stay in Dallas. Marie Gabrielle fit the bill. We held both our ceremony and reception here. Glenda and the staff and Marie Gabrielle were wonderful to work with. I was a very hands-on bride, with lots of special requests, and Glenda granted every single one of them. She and her team really made my dream wedding come to life! And, as a bonus, the food at Marie Gabrielle is spectcular. The food is chef-driven, nothing like your regular run-of-the-mill banquet food. I wanted to create a custom, southern-inspired menu (shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles!) and they made it happen. I will say, Marie Gabrielle is on the pricer side, but they were worth every penny.

Marie Gabrielle was the perfect wedding venue. Glenda, the wedding coordinator, is an absolute professional and will work to make sure that you get everything you want for your wedding at MG. Our ceremony and cocktail hour took place in the garden outside, and then we moved inside for a seated reception. The food was phenomenal, we specified all liquors, wines, and beers to our liking, and the service was spectacular. I felt absolutely spoiled as a Marie Gabrielle bride. Though it is expensive to book, I believe that you get what you pay for... and Marie Gabrielle was certainly worth it. Thank you, Glenda, for helping to coordinate such an amazing wedding. It will be a night I won't ever forget!

I knew years prior to actually being engaged and planning a wedding that I wanted to get married at Marie Gabrielle, no doubt about it. Its the little hidden gem of downtown Dallas. The garden area is so well kept and manicured, its truly breath taking. Guest at our wedding were in awe of our venue and how perfect it was. Lisa is the AMAZING. Without her and the help of her team our big day wouldn't have ran as perfect as it did. She made our wedding day pain free, stress free, and FUN! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue, wedding planner, or day! Thank you!!

I had my ceremony and reception here in April, everything literally went PERFECT. Lisa, the owner of Marie Gabrielle is a fabulous day-of planner. The venue is exquisite on a spring evening. I have NO complaints and I am just thrilled with how the evening turned out. I would definitely recommend this venue to a bride wanting an outdoor wedding with a modern twist.

Our wedding at Marie Gabrielle was just stunning! Lisa and her team did such an amazing job setting everything up for my wedding. All of our guests raved about the venue and how attentive the staff was.

I'm a perfectionist and can be very nit picky when I have a vision of what I want and I couldn't find anything wrong with.. well.. anything! I put faith in Lisa to pull everything off and she did! I would give the venue and staff 10 stars if I could!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
