Texas Relay Station Event Center

I also have PTSD from my time in the military, which results in frequent memory loss. Because of this, I had no documentation of our phone conversations, which allowed her to charge me extra for opening my bar early. I provided her with my timeline binder on the day of the event, and she said she didn't need it, but without it, she rushed us and ended up having us an hour ahead of schedule. To make matters worse, she tried to put a note in the bridal suite demanding that we have everything cleaned up and out by 8:30, even though my party didn't end until 10. Did she really expect me to leave my own celebration to clean up? The note was placed there randomly during the day because it certainly wasn’t there in the morning and I was never informed about it; a bridesmaid found it. She also never communicated any restrictions regarding the music, so when my DJ played songs I liked, she told him he couldn’t play those tracks, despite them not being listed in the contract. She even approached me, stating it was to "respect the venue," which would have been alright had it been communicated ahead of time rather than in the middle of the celebration. So, if you want to play your own music, this venue isn’t for you. Knowing she had an issue with "Mexicans," we opted to play some of the most explicit Spanish music we could find so we could still enjoy our night without her interference. Throughout the event, she kept cleaning up and packing things away, even turning off candles three hours before we were done, as if we didn't have until midnight to finish everything. I had requested a simple cake, but she kept trying to add unnecessary decorations, despite my bridal party repeatedly saying no. She eventually stopped, but it felt like she wanted to dictate my wedding day rather than honor my wishes. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for: a cheap venue translates to cheap service. Additionally, I had several guests approach me, asking who she was because of her rude behavior. Unless you are comfortable with someone else controlling your wedding and frequently saying no to your desires, I would recommend looking for a different venue.

I had my wedding at the Texas Relay Station Event Center last weekend, and I can't express how much I loved it! It was incredibly affordable and really easy to collaborate with the team. They handled both the catering and bartending, which was a huge plus! Sandra was exceptionally helpful, and her team took care of all the setup and takedown. She provided me with a list of various vendors we could choose from, making the entire process stress-free. They have a massive selection of decorations to pick from, and they'll take care of all the decorating for you! I highly recommend them—10/10! Thank you so much, everyone!

Beautiful venue space with a rude owner. Very disorganized. My sister called a few weeks ago to tell her we’d have about 100 guests instead of the 60 they planned on. Instead of planning for the 100 she told my sister to hold off until the day of so she didn’t overpay. So when all the guests showed up there weren’t enough seats for the wedding party at the ceremony or at the reception which means of course there wasn’t enough food. I was very disgusted at her attitude about it all. A guest at the wedding shared with me when he asked her if there would be soda she commented snarky back at him something along the lines of “I dont know, you know Mexicans don’t know how to plan”. She walked around literally scolding guests and yanking beers out of their hands who helped themselves to the bar before the security guard showed up instead of locking up the coolers or having someone watch over the bar until the bartender or security showed up. The food line was more like a jail slop line and as you walked with your plate food was slapped on to it like you see in the movies. None of the workers were dressed for catering a wedding party. They were in sloppy house clothes and were not engaged or looking like they were enjoying themselves at all. I would absolutely never recommend having a wedding here. Plain and simple if the owner had a better attitude and listened to the brides guest count a few weeks ago maybe things would have been a lot smoother. Also if she is going to have a venue like this she should most definitely consider an attitude adjustment so her party guests and wedding party don’t feel uncomfortable. Customer service is so important.

This is a fantastic place to have a wedding! The atmosphere is wonderful and the food and service was the best! I highly recommend this place!

Everything went wonderfully! Sandra was a true lifesaver! Our guests couldn't stop praising the food! It was fantastic and budget-friendly!
