For a spot that’s as cool as your event, Knight Sky Dallas has you covered. This indoor/outdoor venue brings major vibes with a rooftop patio that serves up epic Dallas skyline views.

That’s why they’re the go-to spot for rooftop weddings, brunches, cocktail parties, and more. Just cross your fingers for good weather because wind or rain might crash your patio plans.

In addition to weddings, they’re also pros at hosting corporate events, team-building retreats, or personal celebrations like baby showers and graduations. 

They’ve even got a list of approved caterers to handle all the tasty stuff, so you don’t have to. That’s one less thing to chew on (lame pun intended!).

Inside, the venue can hold up to 175 guests cocktail-style or 80 seated. Trust us, the space is super versatile and ready for anything.

Pros

  • Indoor and outdoor event space
  • Epic Dallas skyline views
  • Specializes in rooftop weddings
  • Also ideal for corporate and personal events
  • Has a list of approved caterers
  • Can hold up to 175 guests

Cons

  • Patio is not ideal during rainy or windy days

    Dallas skyline can be seen from inside the venue and out

    “The perfect venue for a large dinner party or wedding. The rooftop venue is amazing and the Dallas skyline can be seen from the inside of the venue and out. The venue is modern, clean and brand new. Overall, an amazing and cool party space!”

    The Cliff House, a Boxwood venue since 1936, has one simple mission: making every celebration all about you.

    Thinking of renting the space? Well, get ready for some perks! First, they’ve got tables, furniture, house lighting (string lights + stage setup), a sound system, and 35 linen colors to suit your style. 

    Oh, and a day-of coordinator is included to keep everything running like clockwork. These planners will help arrange a one-hour ceremony rehearsal and a free two-hour photoshoot at the venue.

    Now, if you’re serving alcohol, they handle security with an off-duty Dallas Police Officer, free of charge, which we think is pretty cool. 

    But if you already have some of these features, no worries—custom proposals are an option too.

    Just keep in mind, parking is limited, so plan accordingly!

    Pros

    • Over 80 years in business
    • Tables, furniture, lighting, and sound system
    • Appoints a day-of coordinator 
    • One-hour rehearsal & two-hour photoshoot
    • Handles security
    • Custom proposals

    Cons

    • Limited parking

      What a perfect venue!

      “What a perfect venue! We wanted a small ceremony, only 140 guests, with a classic church feel. The Cliff House was everything we could have asked for. A converted white-frame church that was built in the 1920’s, it has been lovingly restored. Maggie, our coordinator, was on top of everything. She helped us with the layout for tables and chairs, the colors for the linens, and the vendor logistics. On the day of our wedding, she was everywhere, helping with everything. We cannot say enough good things about this venue!”

      Bryce Quine, Google Review

      One of the best choices we have made for our wedding

      “We decided to choose The Cliff House as our venue since it looked great in the pictures, and the reviews were really positive. Actually, The Cliff House was one of the best choices we have made for our wedding. The venue was clean, and the vibe of the place was really lovely (even if you choose to use minimal decorations). The venue looks much more gorgeous in person! Their pricing was also practical, and the venue itself was very beautiful and clean. Choosing this venue has made our wedding ceremony and reception much more memorable. The food was great as well!”

      On The Levee, tucked away in the buzzing Design District, offers 12,000 square feet to play with, making this elegant venue the ultimate blank canvas. 

      The high ceilings create an open, airy vibe, while garage doors that open to a covered outdoor patio improve party flow. It can also host up to 425 guests—pretty impressive!

      You can choose from two suites. Complete with vanity areas, in-suite bathrooms, big-screen TVs, and sound systems, they make perfect spots for pre-event priming.

      As a bonus, black metal chairs, custom-made bars, and tables for up to 300 guests are included, as well as ten mobile walls.

      This space has seen its fair share of wedding receptions, corporate shindigs, quinceañeras, mitzvahs, and even fashion shows. But, word on the street is the sound system can be a bit iffy.

      Pros

      • Has an indoor/outdoor space
      • Can host up to 425 guests
      • Has two furnished suites
      • Has tables and chairs, bars and mobile walls

      Cons

      • Iffy sound system

        THE BEST VENUE!

        “THE BEST VENUE! Truly an amazing place to host an event. Friendly staff who are true partners and dedicated to ensuring that every detail of your event is a huge success! They introduced us to top notch vendors who all worked in a professional and impressive manner. We would certainly return again!”

        Yael Twito, Google Review

        The facility is BEAUTIFUL

        “I was the Event Producer and I selected On The Levee because the size of the event was 300 people. When I tell you the facility is BEAUTIFUL and the ownership team is so welcoming and friendly. You don’t deal with sales people, you deal with the owners. The made the process seamless and actually fun dealing with them. I will definitely use the venue again and recommend to others.”

        The Quixotic World is a whimsical spot that’s been throwing unforgettable events since 2004. Whether it’s birthdays, weddings, quinceañeras, corporate shindigs, or even film shoots, this place brings the drama—and we’re here for it!

        With space for up to 248 guests and (150-200 for dining), it’s great for big bashes and cozier affairs. But the real magic is that it comes fully loaded: sound system, microphones, spotlighting, fog machine, and even a silhouette shadow dancing screen. 

        When it comes to the mood, picture red and gold throne furniture, black tablecloths, Eiffel Tower centerpieces with feathers, chairs wrapped in black covers and red bows, and even a Sorcerer’s Stage. No need to stress about decor—they’ve done it all for you.

        The downside is that we heard about their rude or clueless staff. 

        Pros

        • Over 20 years of experience
        • Space for up to 248 guests
        • Complete sound and light system
        • Fog and ice machines
        • Has a Sorcerer’s Stage
        • Decor included

        Cons

        • Staff can be rude/clueless

          I’m sure I had the best party of the year

          “There’s no better place to host a fun party than the Q. Cute lounge areas, beautifully decorated tables and chairs for eating, long bar, fun private dressing room upstairs. No need for decorations, it’s all decked out. Eric was a dream, checking in with me, making sure I was never without a drink, and just an overall pleasure to work with. I’m sure I had the best party of the year and I’m truly grateful for the experience.”

           Rhonda Lloyd, Google Review

          All you have to do is show up

          “What a great space! Everything is already decorated and all you have to do is show up. Eric is very easy to work with. The event went off without a hitch.”

          Hickory Street Annex is tucked into 100-year-old vintage buildings just minutes from downtown Dallas. With nods from Brides of North Texas, Wedding Wire, and Party Slate, you know you’re in good hands.

          We love its massive windows, tons of natural light, lush greenery, and, of course, views of the Dallas skyline. 

          Weddings are definitely their specialty—just check if your date’s free, then schedule a tour. And yes, you can bring your future spouse, parents, and even your bestie for moral support on the 45-minute walkthrough. 

          The venue has a guest limit of 200 for weddings—perfect for intimate gatherings without being too cramped. But if you’re hosting a cocktail party, they can accommodate up to 250 guests.

          Their rental package also includes tables, chairs, bars, and cocktail tables. Catering is a breeze, too, thanks to an on-site prep kitchen for one of their approved caterers. 

          Just a heads-up—it’s a bit off the beaten path.

          Pros

          • Has been featured in publications
          • Specializes in weddings and corporate events
          • Can book a 45-minute tour
          • Can accommodate up to 250 guests
          • On-site prep kitchen
          • List of approved caterers

          Cons

          • A bit out of the way

            Venue is so beautiful and has lots of character

            “We absolutely loved having our wedding reception at Hickory Street Annex! Michelle was a great communicator, very flexible, and super easy to work with! This venue is so beautiful and has lots of character with amazing Dallas views. Our guests gave us so many compliments on how cool and unique this venue is. There is also a great “getting ready” area that we were able to use the morning of our wedding. Our photos there turned out beautifully, especially with all the spring flowers and greenery. We can’t recommend this wedding venue enough!”

            Emily Hoffmann, Google Review

            Both inside and the outside space is beautiful

            “Hickory Street Annex was the perfect venue for our wedding! Made the day seamless since bride and the bridesmaids could get hair and makeup done at the venue and groom and groomsmen could hangout and get dressed in the basement. The venue both inside and the outside space is beautiful for day of and gorgeous in pictures. The space flowed very easily from getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner and dancing. Michelle was great to work with during the planning process. Overall HSA exceeded our expectations.”
