The Filter Building at White Rock Lake was the perfect place for our daughter’s wedding!

We loved the feeling this turn of the century building gave, with floor to ceiling windows and a beautiful backdrop of White Rock Lake. It was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. The groom took his “getting ready” photos in the newly remodeled upstairs space. The VIP lounge was the perfect spot for our DJ’s photo booth, and the main room was the perfect size for our guest count…not too crowded, but not too big. The added bonus of the patio with a view of the Lake made for the best pictures. And the FGF team was amazing!

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!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
