About

Alexander Mansion is a historic wedding venue located in Dallas, Texas. This mansion setting will offer an elegant and unique backdrop for your once-in-a-lifetime special event.

The 12,500 sq. ft. mansion was initially built in 1904 by entrepreneur Charles H. Alexander and offers authentic English-inspired architecture with a beautiful neoclassical influence. Since 1930, the estate has been home to The Dallas Woman's Forum, the first departmental women's organization in the state. As one of the city's oldest residences, the original building is mainly intact, and the Dallas Woman's Forum makes it a top priority to preserve the building, providing a venue filled with a rich history.

The Ballroom is perfect for events of up to 120 guests, with space to seat your friends and family comfortably. There's also plenty of room to set up a dance floor so you and your guests can dine and dance the night away in style. Alternatively, the entire house could host up to 175 guests for a cocktail-style gathering with all of your loved ones. You'll never be short a photo opportunity here, with delightful features and picturesque backdrops both inside and outside the house. You and your party can also relax and pamper before the festivities commence in the get-ready rooms on site.

The team at Alexander Mansion would be delighted to help you create an unforgettable celebration. We offer three caterers to choose from. Each can curate a delicious wedding reception menu to ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible. Reach out to the Alexander Mansion to learn more about our services today.

This stunning venue offers a historic charm that will add something special to your day. The architecture, decor, and scenery will combine to provide a backdrop that is just as unique as your love story. Check out our photo gallery for a glimpse at the spaces where you could host your fairytale wedding.

Nice place! What gear do you use, by the way? I wanted photo session in this place! My retoucher at http://wedding-retouching.com uses similar techniques, I guess. I always outsource photo correction. This wedding photo editing service helps me a great deal with their online photo retouching. I like that I always deal with one and the same professional picture editor. He knows my tastes now pretty good, there is even no need to explain much what I want. He already knows the drill.

This venue is beautiful. It's a two story old mansion with a ballroom upstairs. We got married on the grand staircase off the foyer in a standing wedding. The price includes white table cloths, plates, and silverware. We were allowed an hour for a dress rehearsal and we got into the building 3 hours early.

There were alot of rules. For instance, we couldn't move the brides cake from downstairs to upstairs. There is a small list of caterers that you must choose from, and they were quite pricy.
