We hosted a 50th birthday party for my husband at Howell and Dragon and it couldn't have gone any smoother. They were so professional to work with and made it so easy that I didn't need to hire a separate party planner. Our friends raved about the venue and I would highly recommend them to anyonne.

We held a Hallowedding reception at the Howell & Dragon this past weekend, and it was incredible! Everything was horrifically AWESOME and we have nothing but praise for CNC & the H&D staff. Our guests keep gushing about the food and drinks, especially how much fun the cocktail scientists had! We really appreciated the private dinner in the bridal suite. Everything moved so quickly, we would not have had a chance to enjoy the amazing dinner otherwise. Lexi, Brooke and Madison were incredible to work with; every question and concern was addressed quickly, the creative ideas from the team were so fun and very much appreciated. We loved the ideas & food from the chef! They really went all out with our theme and customized the food to us. We have never had caramel apples that good, the char-boo-terie grazing table was so creepy and tasty, and the mac and cheese brisket in the skull cups were perfect.

We recently rented Howell and Dragon for our son's rehearsal dinner. Madison was extremely helpful from beginning to end. This was our first wedding experience and we could not have gotten through the planning and event day without her! The short rib meal was delicious! Also, the venue space is gorgeous and acoustics were perfect for the trio band. Thank you!!!

We recently selected Howell and Dragon for our preschool's fundraising auction / gala, and it was a fantastic experience. Madison was truly a gem to work with, and the entire party went smoothly and according to plan. The food was delicious, and the staff was very attentive. The venue provided so many services to help make this a seamless event, including a photo booth, valet services, and catering services. We loved working with the entire team and would absolutely use this venue again!

Booking Howell and Dragon as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The biggest reasons we would recommend this venue:
- Gorgeous interior and hall. Once our decor and lighting were set up, the hall looked like it came from a fairytale. The uplighting services were adjustable on the fly, so we had a variety of color options displayed throughout the night
- The food was absolutely delicious. People may find that the in house mandatory catering is a drawback, but it is so worth it. CN catering also holds a taste testing for your upcoming wedding that I would highly recommend attending. It gives you a good idea on the quality of the food they provide
- Communication with our venue manager. Madison was on top of everything we asked her for, and she always made sure we were all on the same page/up to date on any changes that were being made.
Overall, it’s a 10/10 from me and my wife. The hall and it’s services are a bit pricey, but you get the best quality and it’s 100% worth it. We had an amazing time hosting our wedding here.

I recently used Howell & Dragon for my late partner’s Celebration of Life. Madison and the entire staff were wonderful to work with. The venue was perfect, and the catered food was great. They made an incredibly difficult day easy to plan and execute. I imagine it would be a perfect spot for a wedding.

We are so glad we chose Howell and Dragon for our wedding reception! They were so easy to work with and helped our vision come alive! We received so many compliments on how nice everything looked and how great the food and service was. Madison was very helpful and responsive. We had a guest count of 90 and it felt like the perfect size. We will definitely recommend to other couples!

Where do we even begin, we got married on September 9th and couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. Obviously the venue is stunning but what really made our day amazing were the people. Madison, truly was an amazing resource making sure our day went off without a hitch, along with the rest of the CN Catering staff that were there on our wedding day. From helping us get settled to assisting with hanging our neon sign, and everything in between we couldn't have been more pleased. The one thing we have heard from our guests about our day is how amazing the food was, not one person had a bad thing to say. From the mini tacos and meatballs as our hors d'oeuvres, and the main courses, and even the donut bar, all were so memorable, many even mentioning that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, and we definitely agree. Thanks again to the Howell and Dragon Staff as well as the CN Catering staff, we know we are so lucky to have a professional, helpful, and friendly group of people to look back on that we can credit the success of our wedding too!

Howell and Dragon was perfect for us! We knew we wanted to have our ceremony and reception in the same place, and their room flip was so quick and efficient! All of the things they handled on site took so much stress off of us! We had a few meetings prior to the wedding day to line out the details, and Madison was a joy to work with! She was very responsive and supportive making our wedding day exactly the way we envisioned! Besides our wonderful experience, we have also heard from so many of our guest about how kind and wonderful the entire staff was on our wedding day! We would highly recommend Howell and Dragon!

I’ve been to several wedding venues in my life and had the privilege of attending The Howell and Dragon recently. I was particularly amazed at their attention to detail and level of cleanliness. As a business owner we notice these things. The staff was attentive, the linens were clean and free of stains, and the venue was immaculate (even the bathrooms were clean). Then the food….. not your typical wedding food. Chicken was moist and flavorful and I do NOT like chicken, lol. I could go on, but for the sake of time I would recommend this venue without reservation.

Attended a wedding here in late August, the greenery wall in the back of the room is amazing. I had never seen a wedding venue with a permanent greenery wall - truly amazing and different than the little walls I have seen at other places.
The food was great too!
Hopefully I will get married soon and be able to have my wedding here

My company booked this venue for our new app launch and it was the perfect space! Cocktail hour room separate from the part room so our CEO could greet our clients and then go in to the bg room for the presentation. They made it easy for us since they have just about everything we needed in house so I wasn't having to scramble with the little timeline given.
Thanks to Howell and Dragon for being so easy!

SO SO happy I went with Howell and Dragon for my wedding day. It is such a cool industrial building right by downtown in the design district. The staff who works there are experts at what they do and are so knowledgeable/experienced on all things wedding. We used several of their recommendations and could not be happier with our vendors. They also respond so quickly. The wedding day ran so smoothly due to the staff members. They were all so nice and went the extra mile to make the day so special. As we were getting ready in the bridal suite, one of the staff members noticed a champagne bottle and went to go get us a bucket of ice for it without us asking. This venue also is not nearly as expensive as some of the other venues in the area and is owned by CN Catering, which is the best catering company!!! I would honestly give them 10 stars if I could! Go with this venue!!

They are great to work with & were very helpful with all of the questions we had along the way. They also took so many precautions for COVID & they did a great job making everyone feel very safe. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how they loved the venue & how good the food & service was! I would highly recommend that everyone check out this venue & use CN catering for their caterer!! Thank you CN for everything & for making our wedding perfect!!

The second my husband & I walked into Howell & Dragon we fell in love! It’s such a uniquely beautiful space that was perfect for our wedding. They are basically a one-stop shop too! They provided all of the essentials like the catering, security, linens, plates, lighting, etc. The only things we had to get on our own was the cake, florals, DJ, & photographer. their in-house catering company is CN catering & the food was absolutely PHENOMENAL! Lexi was a dream to work with & very helpful, especially with all the COVID-19 craziness during planning. I could not be happier with my experience at Howell & Dragon. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck!

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!

Howell and Dragon is the perfect venue for brides looking for that boho, industrial romantic vibe. It balances the warehouse-y vibe with luxury, and the chandeliers in the ballroom are gorgeous. I could not have picked a better venue. We got married 3/7/2020.
Design: this is a beautiful space, that can be dressed up or down to fit your needs. For us, it allowed us to have a beautiful wedding without spending and exorbitant amount of money on florals and décor. Also, the spaces around the venue provide amazing spaces for taking pictures.
Layout: the venue has two main spaces – a cocktail lounge and the larger ballroom. This makes it very easy to have the ceremony on site, move everyone to the cocktail lounge for drinks and apps, and “flip” the room from ceremony to reception. The cocktail space is beautiful, with a stunning bar display, and includes three sets of luxe lounge furniture. If you’ve been looking at the styles of venues on Instagram, you’ve probably seen many boho/industrial venues with beautiful lounges set up. However, at most venues, this furniture is not included, so you’d have to rent it at additional cost. At Howell and Dragon, it’s included in the space rental, which saves you $1-2k (crazy, right?) Additionally, the two-room setup gave older guests a place to hang out during the reception, in case they were less interested in the dance floor.
Catering: Since the venue is owned by CN Catering, they are your catering vendor by default. This is actually a really good thing. The venue has a kitchen on site, so your food is not being carted across town and then reheated to serve – its being cooked right on site. CN has an extensive menu, but honestly they can make you anything. I know in-house caterers can be iffy for some venues ,but this is not the case with CN. They do plenty of events at other venues as well, so you know they are well respected, fairly priced, and do a good job. One wedding planner I talked to said she recommends them to any bride whose venue doesn’t come with an inhouse caterer, as in her opinion, they are some of the best in the industry, very professional, etc.
Accessibility: The venue is all on one floor, and can be accessed via ramp or a short staircase from the street level.
Bottom line: if you’re looking for a venue that strikes a good balance between luxe and industrial, stop looking. You’ve found it. The team here is very professional, and you won’t regret choosing them to host your day.

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!

This venue is wonderful, my company loved it. The space easily transitions to what you'd like it to be- for us, it was a holiday party. But even better than the venue is the staff! The planning process with Lexi was easy and she was so helpful with suggestions. The night of the event, the catering staff was on top of everything at all times. They were just fantastic! Our event was great fun, everyone loved it and I credit that to working with Lexi and her team!

I toured Howell and Dragon as a potential venue for my company product launch party. I have had some past experience with CN Catering, the caterer for this venue, so I already know that the food and service would be fabulous. I love the decor and included items that Howell and Dragon offers. The lounge furniture in the cocktail space, the barn doors, and the white washed brick in the main ballroom create a one of a kind location for events! Can't wait to have our event here. The service and attention to detail cannot be beat!

The location is so fun and close to airport. The venue itself is a fairytale. From the white brick to the bridal suite with secret entrance/exit, grooms suite and beautiful bar/cocktail area this place had it all. I cannot believe I had my dream wedding and it's all thanks to Howell and Dragon!

You will not be disappointed with booking your wedding at Howell & Dragon!
The venue is stunning and the existing décor makes it so you don't need anything else. Their exclusive vendors make it so easy for day-of set up and they handle the coordination, so it makes vendor management during wedding planning so much more manageable. I've had friends have to manage separate vendors for linens, chairs, photo booth and catering, which makes it so complex. Just being able to work with 1 contact for all of that made it a breeze.
Brooke was our contact and she is amazing! She is detailed oriented and likes to plan in advance, which I loved because I'm the same way. We had all of the details ironed out months before the wedding, so I was not stressed at all and was able to take time to make all the necessary decisions. Any time I had a question, she was always so quick and very helpful with her responses!
Everything about our reception went exactly to plan and this was all due to Brooke and the team at Howell & Dragon. Our guests loved the venue too and I'm still receiving compliments almost a month later.

The Secrets getting out about H & D! A newer venue, Howell and Dragon was the most beautiful venue and fit perfectly with my vision of a romantic yet urban setting. Decor was barely even needed as the features of the space were on-point to start- chandeliers, acrylic chairs, swanky cocktail furniture, etc! Through the venue we used their catering company CN Catering and literally EVERY guest loved the food options! We got to attend a tasting and were blown away by the tasty options. All of the staff were there to make the event run smoothly and to fit our expectations. We had a very specific vision and did a couple of things out of the box but the Howell and Dragon/CN catering team was on board and seemed excited to help! (custom table numbers, signature cocktails, etc.) We've received countless compliments on the "beautiful setting" largely in part to the ephemeral design of this venue. Artsy, romantic, chic yet industrial- our perfect place for ceremony, cocktails and reception.

Beautiful venue! I love that they provide a photo booth which was really nice looking and the props were really cool! The staff was great as well and the space was modern and white and a nice layout.

This venue was PERFECT for our October 13th wedding. The staff from start to finish was a pleasure to work with - and our guests were in awe over the beauty of the space. The space more than comfortably fit our 150 guests, stage for the band, 3 food stations, and a photo booth - which was a HUGE hit. I can't say enough good things about Howell & Dragon and CN Catering. If you are looking for a cool, new spot in the heart of Dallas for your wedding, you MUST check out this venue.

The team at Howell and Dragon was organized, professional and helped to keep our event on track. My event was a gala, not a wedding, but the staff executed our cocktail and dinner wonderfully. The food was great and I received compliments on the venue. Take advantage of CN Catering's food tasting event; it was an ideal way to select a menu. H and D is a terrific space if you need a lounge/cocktail area in addition to a dining room (plus there is a small bit of outdoor space in the front). I would highly recommend.

Macie and Monique were the best! No matter how indecisive I was as a bride, they were so patient and responded quickly to anything I needed. The venue is gorgeous, the staff was very professional and friendly and we have received countless compliments on our big day!
Thanks so much H&D for making our day so perfect!

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 wanted to plan an evening event with only 6 weeks to prepare. H&D (with the amazing help of Tina) not only looked after us in every aspect of the planning process but exceeded our expectations. They know elegance and excellence and have a professionalism that made the execution of the event come across seamlessly. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Howell and Dragon is a beautiful canvas waiting to be painted with your inspiration. As a mother of 6 daughters, it was (far to) easy to envision a wedding, reception or intimate combination of both in this wonderful space. The Groom’s Suite was just cozy enough and I could easily imagine helping my daughters get ready in the spacious Bridal Salon. Of course there are many more uses for this lovely space, but this mother of 6 daughters saw weddings first.

Getting married is a once in a lifetime experience, and Howell and Dragon made my wedding day one that neither myself, my husband, or our guests will never forget. Our wedding was almost three weeks ago, and we still have guests who make comments about how wonderful the food was and how beautiful the venue was. The team at Howell and Dragon made planning our wedding as easy as possible. They worked with our budget and did not push anything on us that we felt we did not need or want. They listened to what it was that I wanted and helped make my dream day a reality. I wanted our wedding to match our personalities, and with the aid of their team and my vendors, I was able to take their beautiful space and make it my own for one full day. The bridal suite is beautiful and fit me, my girls, and glam squad without any issues. My husband and his groomsmen had a great time hanging out in their room as well. The layout of this venue is different from others because it's almost like having two spaces in one. If you want to go hang out in the bar/lounge area and have a drink, it has a different vibe than the ballroom/reception room. My quests enjoyed being able to bounce back between the two areas.
If you're looking for a wedding venue that is not only beautiful but amazing to work with, then Howell and Dragon is the place for you! Thanks to them I can genuinely say that my wedding day was the best day of my life and I am truly grateful for that.
You won't be disappointed!
