The Address · 901 W 34th
Since 2009, The Bell Tower on 34th has produced over 5,000 events in Houston. Roger Igo broke ground on this building in 2006 and has been on site every year since. We own our kitchen, our staff, and our spaces, so one team is accountable for the things that define the day: the food, the service, the timeline, the outcome.
5,000+ events produced · Built and operated by its founder since 2006 · One accountable team
Architecture reminiscent of grand Italian villas and haciendas: stone arches, marble staircases, sixteen-foot mahogany doors, a seventy-five-foot aisle, and the cascading thirty-foot Waterwall. Everything that usually fractures into a dozen vendors is ours: in-house catering, your coordinator, the full bar.
We're not selling a building. We're an execution partner, and that is the difference between managing your celebration and getting to enjoy it. Under promise. Over deliver.
Elegant indoor and outdoor spaces, each a refined home for your celebration. Best understood standing inside them.
