The Bell Tower on 34th has hosted Houston weddings since 2009 from a purpose-built campus at 901 W 34th Street, with indoor ballrooms, garden courtyards and a signature waterwall. Catering, bar and coordination are handled in house, with all-inclusive packages.
The Bell Tower on 34th was built for events. Owner Roger Igo broke ground on the building in 2006, and the venue has been taking weddings since 2009. It stands at 901 W 34th Street, close to the Heights and a short drive from downtown. The campus combines indoor ballrooms, garden courtyard spaces and a waterwall that serves as its signature feature, so ceremony, cocktails and reception can move through a single site.
The venue handles most services itself. Catering, bar, staffing and coordination are provided in house, and the kitchen cooks on site with menus that range from American classics to Indian, Persian, Nigerian, Halal and Asian-inspired dishes. That means couples deal with one team rather than assembling suppliers, which is the main reason many choose it for large guest lists.
