Big beautiful venue. The weather was perfect for the event I attended. No mosquitos or bugs. Convenient parking. There was plenty of places sit under individual tents. The sound system was great and the staff was amazing. Met the owner who’s also a pleasant sweetheart. Definitely will be back on my next visit in town.
Wow! This place has some many different events. I have been here 4 times. All different cultural soulful events. Good catering. Perfect venue for Groups of 20‐100
We had a great time at Journey Cafe. My friend hosted an event and she said the owner was great to work with for her party. My friend's party ended up being my surprise engagement. Needless to say, I had a wonderful time. The staff was warm and helpful and the decor is lovely. It's a hidden gem in the city. I'll definitely return.
Although a walk through was done and a discussion of the wedding plans and expectation was done, nothing was as expected nor paid for. A Nov wedding has expectations of being chilly at least, so 5 heaters were ordered at a cost of $300. 3 showed up after the wedding was underway. Only one worked. 2 more showed up after half the guest had left. Only some of the tables were set up and not with the right colors. The lighting was so poor it was hard to view the wedding. But the photographer helped out here. The kitchen was dirty and the rooms for the wedding party to dress were like storage rooms.. Without the assistance of the guests it would have been a disaster. Think twice before reserving this venue . And be prepared to do everything yourself.
When I first toured the venue it was very charming and I loved the energy. I was extremely stressed and did not know what questions to ask. I had been searching all over DFW for a beautiful and affordable venue. When I stumbled across The Journey Cafe I was so relieved. Kim was easy to deal with and kept in contact with me over the months of planning. She calmed my nerves several times and even sent ideas for decor since this was a DIY wedding. The day of the wedding was a blur, but I had an amazing time with friends and family and was so happy to marry my new husband that I barely noticed any little hiccups that occurred. I danced, laughed, and danced some more. Everyone had a great time and complimented us on a beautiful wedding and great party. We didn't use the club portion of the house, but the guest appreciated all the bathrooms and the fire pit we used for s'mores. It's a very lovely location, and very affordably priced.
