Tell us a little about the Howell and Dragon space.
Howell and Dragon is the newest event venue in the Design District. Formerly known as the Chandelier Room, Howell and Dragon has been totally redesigned with a new look we call "romantic industrial." With vintage brick in the cocktail area and distressed white brick in the ballroom, the venue has an elegant look and feel and is suitable for many uses.
The venue has brick walls throughout, magnificent chandeliers, elegant accent lighting, a modern bar and chic furniture. It holds up to 300 people with a separate pre-function/cocktail area, ballroom, private groom’s suite and bridal salon as well as an outdoor patio.
