Cool and Unique Venue

My husband and I spent a lot of time at White Rock Lake while we were dating and when we stumbled onto The Filter Building, it seemed like a natural place for our ceremony and reception. We thought about the arboretum, but The Filter Building was tucked back and a little more private. We got married on the lawn overlooking the water and had the reception with a live band inside. The Filter Building is bare bones, so there is a lot of room to make it your own and customize it to what you want. We personally loved the old character of the building and brick walls. The staff that is in charge of running the venue did an excellent job communicating every step of the way. We would have chosen this venue over again if we had to re-do the day. It was everything we wanted and more. Our guests are still commenting on how unique and cool the venue was!

Effortless

By keeping catering, setup, linens, and venue management all in-house, FGF at the Filter Building made our wedding experience effortless. The day went incredibly smoothly and myself and my bride had a blast. Also, a special mention to our bridal attendant with FGF, Betsy, as she served us throughout the night. She also made sure to save some hors d'eouvres for us to bring over after the ceremony as we took a minute to ourselves in the bridal sweet. Overall, a fantastic experience and we highly recommend FGF and the Filter Building at White Rock Lake.

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.
