Piazza In The Village

I was just in a wedding that took place this Valentines Day at the Piazza in the Village. The Piazza in the Village in a well known wedding venue which is quite stunning with the chapel and very intimate. I was in love with the stained glass and beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The venue has two ballrooms to choose from which are both stunning with the chandeliers and mirrors placed in the room.
The neighborhood is surrounded by cute boutiques and businesses with a tuscan and italian feel to it. The chapel and reception hall are down one block from one another but it is basically a two minute stroll which is not far and very convenient for everyone to get to.
During the wedding, we were running a few minutes behind but the coordinators Mary and her team were very helpful, sweet and accommodating. They were very organized and gave direction and understood direction well.
The cocktail hour foods and drinks were very tasty and I was a huge fan of the mini macaroni and cheese bites. I even want to learn to replicate that!
The reception was lovely and had a great ambiance with the uplighting and even had a fog machine. THe wedding reception was actually good!
Why I gave this wedding venue a 3 stars is because I am personally not a fan of venues that host two or more weddings at the same day. Since we were running about 20 minutes behind, we were literally I felt like pushed out of the venue. It made it feel like it was a wedding pushing factory. I was not a fan because my friend is paying THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I could tell it was stressing the bride out and I just think that a venue personally shouldn’t book more than one wedding because then it feels like the venue is just a money making machine and cares about that versus the actually wedding experience. That is more towards the company than the coordinators. The team was a great and truly were doing their best!

This place was gorgeous and the perfect venue for our wedding. I had to plan the wedding from a different state and the staff at the Piazza were a HUGE help! They offered great advice for food/​wine selections and they handled talking to our vendors and directing them where to set up on the day of the wedding. Additionally, on the day of the wedding we had two people helping us from making sure we had enough to drink to keeping us on time for the different events, such as cutting the cake. The very next day they e-​mailed me our wedding ceremony video. The wedding food was great and we had an ice sculpture as part of our wedding package. Everything was went great. This business knows what they are doing when it comes to weddings!

Woohoo is right. My beautiful experience of La Piazza was with Lorna, Sales Director and Event Coordinator. She presented our needs to the owners on behalf of my fiancé and me – «educating them,» she called it – on various issues: taking advantage of special non-​peak-​months pricing to lower the food & beverage minimums, changing the time windows for our Chapel and Village Ballroom rentals to best accommodate family coming in from China, etc. She was incredibly responsive, barely letting 12 hours go by (if even close to that) before answering any of our emails. The kindest sacrifice she made for us was when I asked her what would happen to our deposit if my fiancé’s health was too poor to participate in the ceremony and reception after his upcoming stem-​cell transplant; she told me the official contract stipulations, nonrefundable and nontransferable, but after educating her bosses again Miss Lorna said we could make a change 60 days out to another date in that same year without losing the deposit. Unheard of! Her research and powers of persuasion made us her biggest fans for being carefully focused on our unique situation and so CLIENT-​CENTERED! Lorna, you inspire us!

Just a guest of the bride and groom but this place was beautiful and the staff very friendly.

As the owner of the PIazza I would like to respond to the last review. The bride determines how many tables are set up, how many people are at them and how many tables have a reserves sign (we can recommend but we honor their wishes). We actually recommend assigned seating so everyone has a seat. The host of the event actually thanked us for setting up an extra table for their guests (they had miscounted). It is hard to drop a table in the middle of an event and our staff worked very hard to please the family.
Our bride and groom are very important to us and work work very hard to make sure they have an amazing.

Hubby and I attended a wedding here last night, and this review is in no way intended to critique any of the elements the couple selected. Based on the photos on their website, I expected a spacious courtyard and massive ballroom areas for the reception and neither seemed accurate. I estimate there were maybe 100 – 150 guests, maximum.
The chapel was pretty, lit with faux candles, rose petals in the aisle and had very understated and elegant feel to it. The venue’s web page touts «over 30 vanilla scented pillar candles fill the room with decorated beauty and warmth»; however, the vanilla scent was undetectable to the guests. The chapel was quite large provided ample seating for the guests.
After the ceremony, the guests were directed to the courtyard, where we were greeting with waiters serving small appetizers and the couple’s signature cocktail. With the wedding guests, caricature artist and serving staff, the courtyard was quite crowded and difficult to navigate due to the throng of people.
Several of the ladies, including me, needed to use the restroom and by the time we emerged a short time later, the passed drinks and most of the appetizers had been consumed.
We moved into the foyer area of the ballroom, in anticipation of the dinner portion of the evening. There was one bar, with a closed sign, and the bartenders explained they would be open upon the commencement of the dinner service, approximately 25 minutes later. The foyer quickly became crowded, loud and uncomfortable and the ballroom remained inaccessible to the guests for about 30 minutes. Once the ballroom opened, we selected our seats and began visiting with the other guests. Upon entering, the salads had been placed at each place setting along with a glass of water, which was quite a welcome sight. The salad was a basic spring mix, with several slices of cucumber and whole grape tomatoes, with some type of vinaigrette dressing. Bread and butter were also available.
The entrée was filet mignon, served with oven-​roasted potatoes and asparagus. The filet was amazingly hot, well-​cooked to about medium, and flavored well so that salt and pepper weren’t needed.
As a note, I emailed the venue in advance, asking if the side dishes available were prepared with any meat, as my husband is a pescatarian. I received a reply from Laura, who was the event coordinator for the wedding we were attending and she reached out to the chef and offered to provide a salmon entrée for my husband. I happily accepted on the condition that the bride not be made aware nor charged extra, both of which were honored requests. I attempted to locate Laura per her request prior to the dinner service, but she was otherwise engaged. I spoke with Noe, a server and explained that my husband was having a different entrée, and he immediately replied «the salmon? Please show me where he is seated.» Great service by all involved in this accommodation! Hubby was quite surprised at the quality of his entrée. The salmon was cooked appropriately and was moist and flavorful.
The music during dinner was very loud, to the point of inhibiting conversation except with your immediate dinner neighbor. Once the open-​bar was «open» it was consistently busy, with only two bartenders serving the group of thirsty wedding goers!
The happy couple had a photo booth and caricature artist, which were well received by all of the guests. They also had their names written in script on a clear partition in front of the waterfall in the foyer, which was a beautiful addition to the event.
It’s my understanding that their food and beverage minimum, along with the venue rental and on-​site service is quite costly. Based on our one experience here, I would recommend future brides seriously consider the spatial constraints for the number of guests, along with the server to guest ration, prior to making a final decision.
I believe the guests enjoyed themselves and the new Mr. And Mrs. seemed relaxed and carefree on their special day, which is the whole point after all.

Went to a event there last night. Very nice venue but when walking into the reception. Almost every table said reserved. Finally after our group roamed around and could not find a seat we sat at a reserved table. the wedding planner came over to tell us it was reserved. We asked so where can we sit? After much conversation they had to set up another table. I am sure the brides family paid a bunch. I was NOT impressed.

Absolutely a five-​star review!
Piazza In The Village is THE most beautiful venue & the staff are wonderful.

I LOVE, LOVE the Village in Colleyville… It’s tucked away and quiet. The restaurants are great, the wedding chappel is beautiful.
You can keep your crowded malls and shopping, this is the place!

What a stunning place to wed.
The chapel is beautiful, it’s simple yet elegant. The people here also very professional and very friendly. Robin was extremely pleasant and such an energetic person. She gave us a tour of both ballrooms and wasn’t pushy about signing the contract right away.
I did however book a venue closer to home but I wish I had stayed with them. No one is on top of things as these people are. They are true to their words and they truly care bout what you want.
