Professional Network & Endorsements

Beautiful venue! Great Services!

The Hippodrome space is so unique! Being a theatre, there are so many visual opportunities that no other venue can offer and they have a good-sized ballroom as well. Kim Dorgan, their event manager is terrific! I highly recommend the Hippodrome for your next "production".

I recommend the services of Hippodrome Theatre at The France-Merric Performing Arts Center to make your Wedding Day that very special day you always wanted,that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for many years to come. ~~ Angela Neik, www.calligraphybyangela.com Dallas Calligrapher
