A fairytale venue for the most magical day of our lives
I have always loved staying at One King West so we knew we had to tour the venue. As soon as we met Shunell, our venue coordinator, and she took us into the Grand Banking Hall, we knew this is where we had to get married.
One King West is a stunning historical building and the reception space is breathtaking. All of our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the space was. It was also so nice that everything could happen in one place. Also, so many beautiful photo opportunities inside that we were able to have our wedding off season saving our budget! They had day use suites for us to get ready in morning of (I opted to upgrade to 1500 for space for the hair and makeup team which I highly recommend), our ceremony and cocktail hour took place in the Austin Gallery and then we had our reception in the Grand Banking Hall. No running around from location to location making our day and our guests experience stress free.
Speaking of stress free, I can't speak enough praise to Shunell for ensuring that our day was as such. She was our contact person throughout the planning process and venue coordinator for day of. She was so much fun to work with and made sure all of our little requests were executed without a hitch. Her responsiveness was amazing as well as her attention to detail. You could tell how professional she was and how many weddings she had pulled off. All the stress of planning was taken off my shoulders because the venue and Shunell took care of it.
I would not change a thing about our wedding and a large part of that is due to Shunell and the staff at One King West. Thank you so much for making our dream day a reality and we can't wait to come stay with you again.

Shunell Made Our Valima/Wedding Day So Much Easier
We are so grateful to Shunell for everything she did to help make our wedding day so special. Throughout the entire planning process, she was consistently professional, friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful. Her suggestions and ideas made the planning process much easier, and she was always understanding and accommodating when we had questions, delays, or last-minute changes. Having someone so knowledgeable and supportive made a huge difference and gave us confidence throughout the process.
On the wedding day itself, Shunell was an absolute lifesaver. Whenever things went off schedule or we weren't sure what was happening next, she remained calm, reassured us, and helped keep everything moving smoothly. The venue looked beautiful, everything was set up wonderfully, and we always felt like we had someone in our corner who genuinely wanted our day to go well. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with and would wholeheartedly recommend Shunell and One King West to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an exceptional coordinator to help bring their wedding day together.

Angela is the goat.
I truly can't put into words how perfect our wedding day was. It was everything my wife and I dreamed of, and none of it would have been possible without Angela. From the day we first toured the venue over two years ago, right through our wedding and even after, she was there every step of the way. She answered every question, handled every detail, and somehow made the entire process feel easy. On the day itself, everything ran flawlessly and we didn't have to worry about a single thing, which let us actually be present and enjoy it. Angela is a fantastic planner and an even better person, and our guests are still raving about the venue. If you're looking for a place to get married, look no further. We couldn't recommend Angela and this venue enough.

Our perfect wedding
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue than One King West. From start to finish, the entire experience was incredible and truly brought our vision to life. The venue itself is stunning, the staff were professional, and everything came together seamlessly on our wedding day.

She was professional, responsive, flexible, and always willing to accommodate any requests we had. No matter what questions or changes came up, she handled everything with kindness and efficiency, making the planning process so much less stressful.
Shunell also connected us with several excellent vendors, which was incredibly helpful. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond by coordinating vendor arrivals, overseeing the setup, and ensuring everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. Knowing she was there gave us complete peace of mind so we could simply enjoy our day.
We are so grateful to the entire One King West team, and especially to Shunell, for making our wedding day everything we had dreamed of and more. We highly recommend One King West to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional service. Thank you for making our day so memorable!
