Our Wedding on White Rock Lake

The Filter Building was truly the best venue for our wedding! The beautiful backdrop of the lake was perfect for sunset photos and the entire space was comfortable enough for all our guests. The service provided by all the team members at The Filter Building was exceptional. They were attentive to guests all night long, helpful during the dinner hour, and even made sure my husband and I were never without a fresh drink from the bar! All of the staff were also incredibly kind and willing to help in any way. I had the privilege to work with Sarah Baker during our wedding planning process and she was the biggest help. She made sure everything would run smooth on the day of and answered every question I had during the process. The Filter Building offers the perfect space for weddings, and the hospitality is top tier! We love the Filter Building!

Beautiful - Bare Bones

This venue is beautiful and very easy to work with. Their fees are transparent so you will have no surprises tacked on.
The only thing they provide is round tables, white garden chairs, and hightop/cocktail tables. String lights on the patio are an additional fee and well worth it.
All of my Dallas vendors were familiar with them so that made life easy as well. They have floorplans on their website you can work with to create your own floorplan with your vendors, or send to your coordinator if you have one.
I know there was an officer on duty but I hardly noticed him. I think I saw him twice - once when I was about to walk out to the ceremony, and once when we were about to leave for our sparkler exit.
We decided to move our ceremony to the patio at the last minute since the lawn was still in the sun at 6:30pm and I didn't want me or my groom and guests getting sweaty - nor to have the sun in my eyes. This was a bit cramped. I had 5 chairs on either side of the aisle - go with only 4 chairs if you move up to the patio.
I loved the ambiance. My guests could be outdoors conversing in a more relaxed environment, or inside partying on the dance floor.
The location is super easy to get to, and there are loads of picture perfect places around the lake.
We paid the additional fee for an outside caterer so we could have a food truck (Tacos Bites and Beats). This was a hit but not recommended for parties much larger than 100.
Definitely recommend The Filter Building.

Dealing with Carla Rae (Filter Bldg Volunteer Coordinator) was great.
Her responsiveness and professionalism were exceptional.
I was planning for over a year and this is such a detailed process.
I can honestly say that I was able to feel at peace after signing my contract with the FB, which relieved me of one less stresser. I never felt I needed to check in on the venue.

The only issue we had was not being able to have a rehearsal, however, this is spelled out in the contract, so it was just one of those things. We rehearsed a couple of hours on the wedding day, which was fine.
