Hotel ZaZa Dallas

tepped through the door. Half of it is the stunning, unique, and funky ambiance, but the more significant part is because of the staff. Every aspect of the hotel is staffed with the most lovely and hospitable people: getting out of the car to the amazing valet team, being greeted in the lobby, getting met with phenomenal service in the restaurant, and finding water in your car when you get your keys to leave. We knew immediately that we wanted to share this hotel with everyone we love. To us, ZaZa is so much more than a hotel; it is our favorite and most special place in the city. Working with Samara to plan our wedding was a dream. The things she and ZaZa was happy to do made everything magical, and made every aspect and every cent so worth it. We exchanged an absurd number of emails; came to the hotel for an insane number of walk throughs, tastings, and meetings; and the way she showed up and prepared for the wedding weekend itself was unmatched. I have spoken to my other friends who were married at hotels in the last year, and they were in complete shock at the attention and treatment we received. I am very type A, and Samara took every email and crazy idea in stride. Not only that, but each time I stepped foot in the hotel over the last year, I was greeted by her sweet smile and a dirty martini. She truly made us feel like royalty. I can’t even compile all of the things she did for us that allow us to make our [at times] haphazard vision a reality. She helped us numerous times sort through the various options the hotel offers (between food, alcohol, venue space, etc) – providing insight and support when we were stumped. She met with me, my family, wedding planner, and vendors countless times always bringing positivity and ideas. Frankly, Samara was like having an additional wedding planner with how much she helped me. I know that the wedding would not have been as magical and smooth without her. To say she went above and beyond would be the understatement of the century. Not to mention, the hotel also provided the dance floor/uplighting/linens/votives/bars/napkins…the list goes on. We were able to have a wedding so much grander than we ever expected because ZaZa ensured we were covered in every area and did not have to rent. The weekend of our wedding, every single employee of the hotel made us and all of our guests feel so welcomed and special. We have been hearing our family and friends rave about the service from the moment of entrance until the very end. I will recommend ZaZa to anyone who will listen. Even now, a year after our wedding, the staff goes out of their way to love on us. My husband and I came in last weekend for our one year anniversary; our room had champagne, wedding photos, and a bouquet of roses. The staff made sure we knew we still are and always will be part of the ZaZa family.
