Reviews of The Venue at 400 North Ervay by Boxwood

Historic night at a historic venue

My husband and I got married October 5 at the Boxwood venue 400 N Ervay. From the moment I booked with them, working with Boxwood was a breeze! The venue was perfect for our wedding day, offering many indoor and outdoor options to host the various events of our day. I loved the classic elegance of the courtroom for our dinner with the ornate ceiling and wood walls, and the rooftop created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and was the coolest location for dancing the night away! We also had a saxophonist for the cocktail hour and who played along to the DJ on the rooftop who was a huge hit! I must also rave about the quality of Boxwood’s food and hosting of supper clubs at Cliff House to help you pick your food for the wedding. We got so many compliments from guests on how good the food was and it was so fun tasing everything at the supper clubs to help us make decisions. It’s also so nice that a day of venue coordinator is included. I had a wedding planner, but to have an extra person who knows the venue inside and out and to provide an extra set of helping hands is priceless! I cannot recommend Boxwood enough if you are looking to get married in the greater DFW area, and specifically the historic 400 N Ervay!

Beautiful Venue with Downtown Vibes, Modern Rooftop and Rich History

The Venue at 400 Ervay was stunning and exactly the vibe we were looking for. The courtroom is rich in history, boasting original wood floors, a judge’s bench, and hand-painted ceilings, while the rooftop offers a modern and luxurious atmosphere. We loved the grand hallway for cocktail hour. It provided the perfect space for our guests to mingle and enjoy themselves. We had an open bar, a coffee cart, and a photo booth set up, which added to the overall ambiance and made the cocktail hour even more memorable. The only downside is the parking, but we opted for valet services which helped alleviate that concern.

Prior to Madison being our coordinator, we were in touch with the concierge team at Boxwood, and they were incredibly helpful. They promptly answered all our questions and were consistently open and available for phone or Zoom calls. This level of accessibility was particularly beneficial for me as a Type A bride, as it helped alleviate any concerns and ensured a smooth planning process.

Madison was a rockstar coordinator for our wedding! Introduced to us by Boxwood six weeks before our big day, she quickly became our go-to person, guiding us through the planning process with efficiency and ease. She made us feel like no request was inconvenient, and her commitment to ensuring our vision was realized was remarkable. On the day itself, she flawlessly managed her team, ensuring every little detail was taken care of. Madison's can-do attitude was infectious, and her regular check-ins kept us feeling reassured and stress-free. She nailed my decor vision, keeping the lines of communication open to ensure everything matched our expectations perfectly. When unexpected issues popped up during the event, she handled them like a pro and kept everything on schedule effortlessly. Madison's calm and confident demeanor made us feel like VIPs amidst all the wedding chaos. Her ability to juggle multiple tasks and attend to our guests' needs with grace was seriously impressive. We can't thank her enough for making our day run like a dream!

Excellent Experience

We had a fantastic wedding at 400 North Ervay. Not only was our venue beautiful... but the service was fantastic. We had a team that was experience and sort of held our hand along the way. They were responsive, helpful, accommodating. I highly recommend going with them. We toured Cliffhouse and 400 North Ervay and went with the latter but they were both equally beautiful.

Amazing Wedding Experience

This venue was amazing and something unique to DFW. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour in the Grand Hall with our reception on the Rooftop. The catering director was great to work with. She was extremely responsive and had great ideas. The event staff were extremely nice. I absolutely loved this venue!

Book this venue! You won't regret it!

Working with Edith and Kat was a dream come true. They were both very responsive and worked with my budget without any judgement. They were always flexible and willing to accommodate any of our needs. Plus, the venue it pure magic. Getting married on the rooftop at sunset was absolutely perfect. Our guests kept commenting that it was like being in a movie, that's how beautiful the setting was.

My now husband and I fell in love with this wedding venue the moment we stepped into the doors. The building is beautiful and historic, and provides an amazing backdrop with very minimal decoration or enhancements necessary. Our guests were delighted and in awe of the rooftop, where we held our ceremony and cocktail hour. At first, we were a little concerned with traffic flow to/from the roof, as there is only one elevator, but it honestly wasn't an issue at all. There are some restrictions regarding enter and exit time, end time (noise - this is a residential building after all!), no open flames, but we didn't find them to be restrictive to the point of impeding on an amazing wedding day. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for city views or a historic venue.

When we started our search for the perfect venue we found most venue managers couldn't be bothered to return our call or answer questions. Lauren Twitchell responded immediately, answered our questions and made us feel like they wanted us at their venue. She scheduled a site visit where we met her assistant Stacy and fell in love with venue and the entire team at The Venue @400 N. Ervay. They helped us plan and organize ourselves and gave great recommendations for other vendors.

We were married on New Years Day and had hoped for a rooftop ceremony with the reception in the courtroom. Two days before the wedding the forecast was just not in our corner so we emailed Lauren and told her move everything into the courtroom and our wedding could not have run any smoother. After the ceremony, we retired to the room adjacent to the courtroom where they had food waiting for us. Our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour (30 minutes) whiles the staff flipped the courtroom for the reception.

We had a group of about 90 and Lauren and Stacy made our wedding the best ever. Really! We continue to hear rave reviews from our family and friends about how good the food was and how beautiful the space was and how nice the staff was, right down to the security guards who walked guests to their cars! We cannot say enough about how happy we are with our decision and you will be too!

I loved, loved, loved our wedding in downtown Dallas at The Venue at 400 N Ervay....we had both ceremony and reception at the site in mid-December and it was absolutely stunning. The staff, led by Event Director Lauren Twichell, is top-notch and highly professional. We had about 130 guests and the space was perfect for that number - wouldn't have wanted to fit any more than that! The only downside to the space is the lack of air conditioning...even in December it got extremely warm. However, overall our experience was very positive!

We had our wedding reception at The Venue and it was absolutely fabulous. Kristin and her team are fantastic and they help you with everything - I had nothing to worry about on my wedding day because they took care of everything (e.g., setting everything up including my personal items, coordinating load-in with the vendors, packing everything up and loading it into my in-laws car). All of our guests have raved about the location and how beautiful and unique it was. The rooftop was perfect for our cocktail hour and our guests thought that was the perfect spot. The courtroom downstairs was gorgeous and was the perfect space for our 125 guests. The price is a little higher here when you first look, but trust me when I say that it is completely worth it. You absolutely get your value out of the money you spend, without a doubt.

Absolutely loved the venue. I wanted something historic and this venue was perfect. It had such great character and was restored to perfection. It was nice to be able to combine the historic courtroom with the modern rooftop. Perfect mix of very different styles. Because you can use the Grand Hall, Courtroom and Rooftop, you've got several options for ceremony and reception. We held the ceremony on the rooftop, then down to the Courtroom for supper and back to the rooftop for dancing. There is a nice bridal suite attached to the courtroom but there are some issues with it. We had a great Event Captain (Enrique) who was so very helpful. There were issues with the satellite TV in the bridal suite but he worked tirelessly to get it up and running for us. He was so helpful in getting us anything we needed, in helping bring everything upstairs, answering questions, making sure we were well taken care of during the reception (we never wanted for a drink or bite to eat). Unfortunately, no one could find the key for him to unlock the door connecting the bridal suite and the bathroom. Some of the lights were out which wasn't a big deal but it was a bit of an inconvenience. There are windows so there's natural light but as the sun goes down, you need a little more artificial light and there wasn't much. There are also no mirrorsin the bridal suite. We had to go buy cheap ones from Target the day before to bring in for everyone to get ready. It wasn't a big expense but I think it would be pretty basic to at least have one full length mirror for the bride to make sure her dress is on right. Also, you can't get into the suite until around 3:00 so you'll be limited on time. You can make extra to have personnel there earlier to get in earlier but it's a little steep considering what you're already paying. All done and said, beautiful venue and I'd do it again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
