Texas is known for going big, and Dallas is no exception. After all, the city is home to the state’s tallest cowboy (in the form of a state fair statue), the country’s largest indoor tree each holiday season (at Galleria Dallas), and the nation’s largest art district (aptly named the Dallas Arts District).
When it comes to Dallas wedding venues, the story is the same — there are too many to choose from. The city has a beautifully-curated roster of gorgeous venues touting some of the best event spaces. Accordingly, we narrowed our search to the most luxurious ballrooms in Dallas.

And, let’s face it, hosting your wedding at a hotel clears up all of those guest transportation issues and allows you to easily celebrate all weekend, making use of different spaces in the same perfect wedding venue.
