About

Howell and Dragon is a versatile wedding venue located in Dallas, Texas. This setting combines industrial and vintage elements, with exposed brick walls illuminated by shining chandeliers. 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. The neutral color scheme of the room means it can be easily transformed with lighting and decor.

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.

We were very pleased with both the quality of the venue and the level of service at the Howell and Dragon! The entire layout is beautiful and the style was exactly what we were expecting. The ceremony area set-up was intimate and welcoming with plenty of room to coordinate the bridal party and entrance from the back seamlessly. At the same time, the front bar made for a very comfortable waiting area for guests while the reception area was set up. Throughout the evening, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful ensuring that everyone knew where to be and that our guests were taken care of. Couldn’t have been happier with our experience and a big thanks to Tina who made every process simple and for being so accommodating; she was a life saver!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
