    Culinary Dropout Dallas was the perfect venue for our rehearsal dinner! From the very first interaction, their communication style was quick, productive, and clear - making the planning process so much easier, especially when coordinating with other vendors. The space was truly stunning. The staff went out of their way to include custom signage and really made our special day feel that much more personalized. Additionally, every member of the team was so accommodating and knowledgeable, and my guests could not stop complimenting the beautiful venue and the incredible service. I would highly recommend Culinary Dropout Dallas to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.

  • Amazing space!

    Culinary Dropout Dallas was the perfect venue for our rehearsal dinner. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was super responsive and helpful in guiding us through the planning process. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and unique - the plants/greenery throughout and industrial-chic decor created such a warm and inviting atmosphere for our guests. The personal touches they added to our custom menu were so thoughtful and really made the day feel extra special. I just have to say that the staff from the special event manager to the servers that took care of us were amazing!! It made what can be a stressful time planning feel so easy and gave me a lot of relief. We are so grateful to the Culinary Dropout team for helping make our wedding day perfect.
