Plaza Arts Center

I love this place and the owner! I had my wedding ceremony and reception here! The owner is really easy to work with and is extremely affordable! You'll need to bring in your own catering and essentials but it was the best decision for us! We fit about 220 people in the venue!

I had my Wedding here last Saturday and it was perfect! The inside of the venue was once a old school theatre is very spacious. It is remodeled of course with a large dance floor and stage. There are several balcony areas. Large dressing rooms as well to change into for Weddings. Everything you need to celebrate your special day is here. It is a beautiful venue for any special occasion. Clarence the Owner is a very kind, pleasant gentleman to work with. I highly recommend Clarence and his beautiful venue.

I had my 30th birthday party here and was very thankful I did! I got a great price for everything I wanted, not to mention there is plenty of space, tables and chairs to use with no extra charge and of course Mr. Clarence who worked with me! It is an older historic theatre so a few things are a little dated but that is to be expected with the venue. Other than that, I believe I got the best deal! My guests loved it!

Awesome event venue and rental space in a prime location in downtown Carrollton. The venue used to be a historic movie theater and has been converted into an event hall, while retaining the cool movie theater marquee outside and theater feel. (I've seen couples put their names up on the movie theater marquee when they hold weddings there, which is really unique and neat!) I've always had a great experience with the Plaza Arts Center team and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to rent space for a performance, corporate event, special event, etc. I believe they also do rentals for dance classes and other ongoing activities, in addition to weddings and parties. Compared to other event spaces I've looked into in the area, their rates are definitely very reasonable. Great venue with affordable rental prices = awesome!

Well, I came here for a Saturday dance seminar and I was a bit underwhelmed by the place. Something about the energy or the vibe of this place did not sit well with me. Had to drive across the metroplex to get there. Now that I've been there, seen it, it's not a place that I would return to.

This place is a 'jack of all things' in Old Downtown Carrollton. The Plaza is an old movie theater turned 'hall' for special events. They host bands, theater productions, exhibits, and dance festivities. They offer a variety of dance lessons for a decent price as well.Of course, this is a venue for gifts, jewelry, and art as well. The showcases seem to change on a regular basis. The marquee must be for rent as well because you occasionally see anniversary, graduation, or birthday salutations on it.The only downside to the Plaza is that it seems to be open odd hours. It is open on weekends, during special events, and when they have activities. It is a cool spot to hang out.

I just had my wedding reception there on 6/27/2015. This venue is great for all kinds of events. AnaLaura and Patty were very informative and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. And did I mention they are extremely reasonable priced too?

I worked with Ana Laura and Penny last night on our movie screening event. Everything went well and the venue is amazing. They even let us use their popcorn machine. Truly enjoyed working with these ladies. They are passionate about keeping the place alive and active.

The Plaza's website and photos do not do it justice!! You need to see it for yourself! We had the most amazing experience working with Clarence, the owner. He was an absolute joy to work with and went above and beyond to help make our day affordable and special. He even let us come set up a day early, when he could have hosted other events at that time and profited.The Plaza's setup is perfect for a reception--the lighting made our dance party incredible (people said it was one of the best they'd been to). The venue has a comfortable atmosphere, and the marquee out front with our names and wedding date was perfect. We got some great photos with sparklers out front at the end! I cannot recommend the Plaza highly enough!!!

This is a nice place to put on a play or have a small-scale event, however, the current management not only double-dips, they breach contracts. They also have been know to turn off WiFi when they leave, so you wont be able to use any kind of online ticketing system for your event. Make sure your contract is solid and approved by an attorney to protect yourselves.
