Texas Relay Station Event Center

If I could give negative stars I would. Honestly I should’ve seen the red flags from the beginning. Being told “no” constantly about ideas I had for my day sucked but I got what I paid for I guess. The second meeting I had with the owner she kept making comments about “Mexicans being late” after I told her half of my family is Hispanic. We’re Guatemalan… so not the same thing as Mexican. I have PTSD from my time in the military which causes a lot of memory loss so if we had phone conversations I had no proof of anything which is how she was able to charge me extra to open my bar early. I gave her my binder with my timeline day of and she said she didn’t need it but because she didn’t have it she rushed us into things that we ended up an hour ahead of schedule. She tried to place a note inside the bridal suite saying we needed to have everything out and cleaned by 8:30 when my party didn’t even end until 10. You want me to leave my own party to clean up and get stuff out???? This note was placed randomly sometime that day because it sure wasn’t there that morning and it was never communicated to me. A bridesmaid found it. She also never gave me any restrictions on music so I played music I liked to dance to and she told my DJ he can’t play that even though it was no where in the contract and then came up to me and said it’s to “respect the venue” which I wouldn’t have had an issue with if it had been communicated way before my wedding and not in the middle of the party… So don’t book this place if you want to play your own music. But since we knew she had such a problem with “Mexicans” we went ahead and played some of the most vulgar music we could in Spanish so we could still enjoy our night without her bothering us about it. She kept cleaning things up and packing things away and even turning off candles 3 hours before we were ever done like we didn’t have until midnight to do all that? I also wanted a very simple cake and she kept trying to add more stuff to it no matter how many times my bridal party said no. Eventually she stopped but she wants to just do whatever she wants on your wedding day and not what you want. Like I said, you get what you pay for. You pay for a cheap venue, you get cheap service. Not to mention the number of guests who came up to me asking me who she is because she was being so rude. Unless you’re cool with someone else being in control and constantly telling you no about your own wedding, you should probably look at a venue elsewhere.

I had my wedding last weekend at Texas relay station event center and I can’t say how much I loved it! Super affordable and easy to work with. They were able to do the catering and bartending! Sandra was very helpful and her and her team did all the set up and take down. She gave me a list of different vendors that we can use which made it very stress free. They have a ginormous room full of decorations that you can chose from and they will decorate everything for you! 10/10 recommend!! Thank you guys!

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 great! Sandra was a God send! Our guest raved about the food! Awesome and budget friendly!!!
