Wedding Receptions Lunch & Dinner Venue in Plano

Your wedding reception isn’t a warm-up event — it’s the main celebration.

At Knife Steakhouse, we host boutique wedding receptions designed for couples who value exceptional cuisine, elevated service, and an intimate atmosphere over large banquet halls and cookie-cutter packages.

Knife is locally owned and owner-operated — not a chain — led by nationally acclaimed Chef John Tesar. Every steak is dry-aged in-house. Every cut is butchered in-house. Pastas are made from scratch. Ingredients are sourced from trusted Texas ranchers.

If you want a wedding reception centered around unforgettable food and meaningful connection, Knife is the perfect setting.

A wedding reception at Knife is:

• The primary wedding celebration
• A seated, chef-driven dining experience
• Ideal for intimate or boutique weddings
• Designed for couples who prioritize culinary excellence
• A refined alternative to traditional ballroom venues

This is not a banquet hall with preset menus. This is a chef-led, hospitality-focused experience.

We are ideal for:

• Intimate weddings
• Second marriages
• Luxury micro-weddings
• Destination wedding receptions in North Dallas
• Couples who prefer exceptional dining over large production venues

We offer:

• Two dedicated Private Dining Rooms
• Full restaurant buyouts for larger receptions
• Flexible layouts for seated dinners and cocktail receptions
• Complimentary A/V setup for speeches and slideshows
• Personalized coordination with our events team

Your guests won’t feel like they’re attending a generic wedding venue. They’ll feel like they’re part of something exclusive and thoughtfully curated.

At Knife, the meal is the centerpiece of the celebration.

Our menu features:

• All-natural Texas beef, pork, and lamb
• Prime cuts dry-aged in-house
• Specialty selections including Akaushi beef and Wagyu
• In-house butchery
• House-made pastas

We offer customized prix-fixe menus, multi-course seated dinners, wine pairings, and curated beverage packages tailored to your guest count and preferences.

This is a reception where guests remember the food & good times — long after the last dance.

Knife features:

• A 300+ label wine list
• A Sommelier on staff nightly
• Specialty and modern classic craft cocktails
• Local craft and import beers
