Abby Cole2 months agoWe truly had the wedding reception of our dreams, and the Briscoe was the PERFECT location!!! We had a lovely cocktail hour in the sculpture garden and an amazing reception in the main event hall. Robert and Lucy were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. We really couldn't have asked for a better place for our wedding reception.
Jessica McCune2 years agoJack Guenther Pavilion at the Briscoe was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved taking portraits in the museum and the garden is perfectly manicured. The location right on the riverwalk cannot be beat, especially if you have a lot of out of town guests. I want to specifically thank their coordinator Daniel Gomez! Danny was such a joy to work with. He went above and beyond helping pass out dance floor props and even hyping us up during photos, he made sure everything was perfect and we are so grateful for his help.
Lucy Struve5 years agoI'm a wedding photographer, and one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever gotten to photograph was at this venue. I can't recommend it enough to anybody considering getting married here! There was plenty of shade in the outdoor area during the afternoon for portraits, and the interior of the venue offered a classy atmosphere for the reception. I loved working here and hope to be back soon!
Adrienne Adams3 years agoWent here for an appreciation dinner. Nice venue with indoor and outdoor spaces. The outdoor area had bronze sculptures that were nice to look at. The wait staff at our event were efficient and friendly. The food was good (except the chicken, bland and kinda dry) and the desserts were awesome.
Tisch2 months agoLovely venue for any celebration especially if you have a live band to help you celebrate! Acoustics are quite good.
