Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • With multiple levels and a cool, industrial-chic style, this private downtown Dallas venue offers loads of flexibility and stellar views of the city skyline.
  • Exchange vows in the penthouse (perfect for a candlelit ceremony), followed by a reception in the ultra-sleek Commerce Room, with its exposed brick and ductwork, maple dance floor, and an original Coca-Cola mural from the 1940s.
  • You can host your entire event on the spacious rooftop sky deck, where you'll find wrought-iron patio furniture, globe string lighting, an elevated stage, and a custom cedar bar.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book 2616 Commerce Event Center, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Booking 2616 Commerce Event Center in Dallas's Deep Ellum gets you the space, the furniture and the team to run it. Every rental includes 60-inch round tables, black chiavari chairs indoors, white garden chairs outdoors, cocktail tables, barstools, 6ft and 8ft rectangular tables, full-length linens, a rooftop dance floor, an event manager on-site from 4 hours before your start time and one security guard. The rooftop adds a built-in cedar bar, a stage and café lighting. You'll pay separately for catering, alcohol, bartenders and decor, plus a $10 cleaning fee per linen, and weddings over 200 guests may need extra security. The venue doesn't add service charges or taxes to its fees.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at 2616 Commerce Event Center, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, your whole day can happen under one roof at 2616 Commerce Event Center. A popular flow is a ceremony in the third-floor Penthouse or on the Rooftop Deck, cocktail hour on the rooftop with downtown skyline views, then dinner and dancing in the first-floor Commerce Room. Ceremonies are available only with a reception booked here. They're $1,000 for up to 100 guests or $1,250 for 100–200, and include the bridal suite for getting ready, chairs, a white tiled walkway for rooftop ceremonies and a 1-hour rehearsal.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to 2616 Commerce Event Center or do we have to use yours?

Bring them. 2616 Commerce Event Center lets you hire any licensed, insured caterer, with no fee for using an outside one. Your caterer names the venue on their liability insurance, signs the catering agreement, gets approved at least 5 days out and pays a $250 refundable cleaning deposit. Other vendors sign an outside vendor agreement and show liability insurance 10 days before. You can bring your own alcohol too: it's served by your preferred caterer's bartenders or, with another caterer, by HD Liquid Catering or Tender of the Bar.

How long do we get at 2616 Commerce Event Center, and when does the music have to stop?

You get up to 5 hours for your reception at 2616 Commerce Event Center, plus 1 extra hour when your ceremony is here too. Events can run until 12am on Fridays and 12:30am on Saturdays. The bridal suite opens at 12pm for getting ready, and your event manager is on-site from 4 hours before your start time. After the last song, vendors get 1 hour to break down and bands get 1.5 hours.

What makes 2616 Commerce Event Center different from the other venues near it?

2616 Commerce Event Center gives you the place to yourselves: it hosts one event per day, and you can bring your own caterer and your own alcohol with no outside-catering fee. That's a lot of freedom for a downtown Dallas venue. You also get three spaces in one building: the first-floor Commerce Room with exposed brick and a 1945 Coca-Cola mural, a third-floor Penthouse with two private balconies, and a 4,500-square-foot Rooftop Deck with skyline views, a cedar bar and a stage. Events can run until 12:30am on Saturdays, and the venue is dog-friendly.

When can our vendors get into 2616 Commerce Event Center to set up, and how long do they have to clear out?

Most vendors can drop off and set up 3 hours before your start time at 2616 Commerce Event Center, and florists, planners and decorators can come in up to 5 hours early. After your event ends, vendors have 1 hour to break down and bands get 1.5 hours. Every rental and outside item needs to be out within that hour unless the venue approves otherwise in writing, so share your vendor list early.
