Hamilton Sneed
HAS Events

Socially in tune with everything Dallas has to offer, Hamilton Sneed of HAS Events knows Dallas venues in and out. From red carpet worthy events to fashion show spectaculars, Sneed knows Dallas best. While Sneed specializes in event planning outside the realm of weddings, he indisputably knows how to take a bare venue and transform its likeness into an ornamental fantasy. Sneed's most recent wedding event was held at Dallas' 129 Leslie — an unconventional location best suited for a nontraditional bride has the potential to be converted into one of Dallas' most chic wedding venues.

120 Leslie
Dallas, TX 75207

Most Dallas residents are sadly unaware that 129 Leslie exists.  Thanks to the recommendation of Sneed, this former art gallery location will now get the accolades and recognition that it deserves.  According to Sneed, "129 is an industrial-chic yet stylish and sophisticated space. The 6,000 square foot space lends itself to beautiful light during the day via large skylights and windows.  You can even hang your own artwork and create your own wedding art installation!" While bringing a wedding to life from a blank canvas may frighten many, the creative and artistically sound wedding planner will be able to utilize vibrant design, floral and color schemes to breathe life into this prospective location.
