The hall sits in the city's downtown area, just five minutes from The Dallas World Aquarium. This space can be used to host both ceremony and reception, as well as pre-wedding get-togethers like engagement parties, showers, and rehearsal dinners.
Facilities and Capacity
Up to 300 guests can join couples at their Howell and Dragon celebrations. This ballroom is a long, open-plan space, a blank canvas that couples can make their own. At one end of this room there is a small stage, suitable for a couple exchanging their vows or a DJ putting on a memorable performance. This space also includes a kitchen area for your chosen catering company and a bar for celebratory toasts. The walls of the room are exposed white brick, adding a touch of elegance to the industrial atmosphere. The ceiling is crisscrossed with exposed metal beams, which are also painted white. Glamorous crystal chandeliers hang from these beams, illuminating the room and the polished floor. The entire floor is itself a dance floor, meaning that no matter the seating plan, guests can find somewhere to dance.

Howell and Dragon was the perfect place for my daughter’s wedding. They worked with us endlessly with all the changes because of the pandemic and made the day beautiful despite the changes. Everyone raved about the venue and the food. I would recommend them to anyone! I want to thank David and his team for all their hard work.

Same company for Venue + Catering is a plus!
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Howell and Dragon in January 2020. I would pick this venue over and over again, it is stunning! When I first walked in and saw the lobby and chandeliers in the main room, I knew that it was the one! And I received an email response the same day I inquired about the venue. The whole team at CN catering was so amazing throughout the whole process leading up to our wedding day. A special shout out to Lexi, because she was the absolute best. We got so lucky with her! Everyone was helpful and they were always responsive to all of my questions. Aside from the beautiful aesthetic, the food was so delicious and affordable. We’re still reeling with happiness from how beautiful and tasty everything turned out. The vision we had for our wedding reception was truly captured because they took the time to work every detail out with us which was important as we didn’t have a wedding planner.

Dream Venue
Howell & Dragon was our dream wedding venue. The white brick walls, the beautiful chandeliers, and even the lounge seating matched perfectly with our 1920s inspired theme.
David and the rest of the staff were a joy to work with. They were incredibly flexible with any changes that came up. Because of COVID, there were many so we really appreciated them accommodating us. David did a really great job of listening to our desires, but also recommending additional options that we hadn't considered and our wedding turned out beautifully.
All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was as well as how yummy the food was! CN Catering hit it out of the park. Everyone said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Hmm, the elotes.
My husband and I highly recommend using Howell & Dragon and CN Catering for any of your special event needs. These guys are the utmost professional and will make your dream day come alive!
