    Arlington Hall was amazing!

    We held both our wedding ceremony and reception at Arlington Hall. Initially we’d planned for the ceremony to be outside in the sunken garden and the reception to be in the main building (75 person wedding). However the sky unexpectedly erupted 20 minutes prior to the planned outdoor ceremony at Arlington Hall. The Arlington Hall team hopped right into action and quickly shared options with my husband and me, and re-set the reception room at Arlington Hall to be our ceremony venue. It was stunning and flawless despite the last-minute change in direction.
    Additionally, Dana was our “fair godmother” for the day. She was assigned to us and our families to ensure that we were where we needed to be at the right time and had drinks & food.
    Arlington Hall’s main reception room was the PERFECT size for our 75 person wedding, which included - a 9 piece band (on the stage), a dancefloor, and our head table + 6 guest tables. The space was full but not overly cramped.
    The food and wine were delicious and bountiful. Of course the venue itself is gorgeous
    I would definitely recommend Arlington Hall to a friend for their wedding or event.

    The perfect wedding weekend

    This is the perfect venue to have an outdoor ceremony then transition into a magical evening with the elegance of the interior architecture to end the night in the cool evening breeze back outside in a tented reception. Highly recommend!

    Arlington Hall at Turtle Creek's reply:

    Congratulations Jean and Kevin! Thank you so much for choosing Arlington Hall for your big day! We were so happy to be a part of it. Sincerely, Luke

    Good experience

    We had a wonderful planning experience with the team at Arlington Hall. They are extremely welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure their clients are taken care of. From the sales team to the catering staff, all were knowledgeable and eager to please. The venue is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Arlington Hall.

    Incredible Experience

    The team at Arlington hall truly made our wedding the special day it was. The food is absolutely five-star restaurant quality and the service is everything you would expect from a luxury venue. We had Dana as our bridal captain and she thought of EVERYTHING before we could even think to ask! Fernando and the rest of the foodservice team were so great too. Our entire family and friend group commented on how attentive everyone was and of course the venue itself it just gorgeous. We used some of the outdoor space for the cocktail hour and the fountain area is so classic.  Arlington Hall is a great place to have all of our pictures and wedding memories and we are so happy that we used them for our wedding. We did both our ceremony and reception on-site, which made it easy and seamless for our guests.  I also want to mention that we hosted this event during the COVID-19 era, and I felt so comfortable with how seriously their team took cleanliness and safety of us and our guests.  Truly a perfect location!

    5-Star Service!

    As a planner, I work with a variety of venues in the area. From the beginning, the team at Arlington Hall was wonderful to work with. They are professional, responsive, and have a great attitude! It is clear that their goal is to ensure that the client receives a seamless experience while partnering with the planner and other vendors. A few months before wedding day, Luke Wilson became our main point of contact and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him! He was always available to answer our questions, was thorough in his answers, and was overall a great resource and event partner. I look forward to our next event together!

    Tzahhia,

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure working with you and I can't wait to do it again!

    This venue is stunning!! Located in beautiful Oak Lawn Park, the Hall is gorgeous and has a wonderful flow for guests to mix and mingle. If you are trying to reduce cost, think about having a brunch like we did - the food was to die for! All our guests raved about the chicken and waffles and eggs benedict!.

    We want to highlight our Venue Coordinator Taylor Low!! SHE IS AMAZING!! Our wedding would not have been as perfect without her guidance. Her poise, professionalism, and experience, as well as her unending willingness to meet us at the drop of a pin, created a stress free planning process.

    The end product for my wife and I was the most beautiful and memorable day of our lives. If you are lucky enough to have Taylor as your Venue Coordinator, she will treat your wedding as her own.

    To sum it up, we highly recommend getting married at Arlington Hall!

    Working with Arlington Hall was a fabulous experience. It truly is one of the most beautiful wedding venues and we were thrilled to have both our ceremony and reception onsite! Their catering director, Allison, was fantastic to work with, gave us great recommendations for planners and their team provided great service the night of the wedding! We utilized the pavilion area for our ceremony, ballroom, foyer, lee room and lee terrace for our cocktail hour and had dinner and dancing in a tent off the front porch! We could not have been happier.

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at Arlington Hall at Lee Park. Marisa was SUPER helpful in the whole planning process and easily accommodated me and mom and the MANY visits we wanted to make to ensure everything would be set up right. We also took our engagement and bridal photos there, and the staff was very happy to accommodate us. One of my favorite things about our reception was that Arlington Hall had assigned a special staff person to follow me and my husband around to make sure we had what we wanted - more drinks, more food, more cake, etc. They were very attentive and friendly. I would definitely suggest Arlington Hall as a wedding/reception venue to any bride - they made our wedding a true fairytale!

    Living in New York, I wasn't able to visit Arlington Hall, so I sent my parents who live in Dallas. After one visit they said this was where I would have my wedding reception. I booked it without visiting 13 months before my wedding. It was the easiest and best decision (other than choosing my wonderful husband) I made as far as my wedding.

    The space is exquisite and, even for a winter wedding, having the beautiful outside areas is wonderful. I loved that there were multiple rooms, but it still felt like one big space. It also felt incredibly homey and comfortable, which was exactly what I wanted. It was elegant but not stuffy! We were able to personalize with lots of our own pictures and touches and I (and my parents) just got compliment after compliment on how beautiful the venue was.

    However for me, the best part about Arlington Hall was our coordinator Allison. Allison walked us through every step of the process from choosing the food, to ideas in lighting and decorating to order of the reception. She made sure we were 100% taken care of. I can't imagine having done any of this without her help and guidance. She is absolutely brilliant at her job. But I must also compliment the rest of the staff at Arlington Hall especially our family attendant Dana. She was incredible. I would be dancing and realize I was super thirsty, turn around and she'd be standing there with a glass of water in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other. She made sure I ate and at the end of the night sent us off with two large pieces of wedding cake! She took care of our parents and grandparents too, if you have your wedding here and can get Dana, do!

    I highly recommend Arlington Hall as much as for the people who work there as for the beauty and exceptionality of the space. It’s unlike anything else in Dallas and the perfect place for a beautiful, fun, elegant and memorable wedding.

    Ashley married on 2/29/2020

    My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Arlington Hall. From beginning to end they were extremely helpful. Upon our first meeting, we were simply gathering information and comparing venues. When throwing out different times of year we were thinking about having our big day, the Director of Catering and Planning (then Mary, now Alex) suggested wedding dates and times to make sure we stayed within our budget yet had the day of our dreams. While we were excited to plan our day, my husband and I did somewhat procrastinate as we started planning right before the holidays, but when we finally did kick it in gear (the week in between Christmas and New Years) Arlington Hall was there and waiting! We often said that we were sure we drove the staff there crazy with our calls and emails, but they always appeared willing to answer any questions we may have and put us at ease. All in all, we planned our wedding from beginning to end in 2 1/2 months tops and it was truly the most beautiful day of our lives. The day before our wedding, the City unexpectedly came out and irrigated the land that we planned to have our ceremony the very next day...holes everywhere! Alex jumped in and made sure there was beautiful turf to cover the space and with no additional charge to us. Finally, the bridal attendant (better known as the "fairy godmother") is truly worth her weight in gold! Whenever my husband or I literally had a thought or desire (ex. water, champagne, flats!) she was there as if she were in our head! The staff, the venue, the food...all of it amazing! You will not be disappointed!

    Beautiful event space in lovely setting

    Arlington Hall was an ideal venue for our event. The catering sales manager, Luke, is much more than his title implies. He is the most enthusiastically helpful person I have ever experienced. From the beginning stages of the event through the final experience, Luke was extremely responsive, had great suggestions for the flow for the evening, helped me scale back some of my bigger ideas without sacrificing the experience, and even guided me through some last minute changes. Additionally, all of the staff who worked the event were exceptional. Arlington Hall is beautiful space in a lovely setting and offers so many options for any event to become a perfect event.

    Kathy,

    Thank you so much for such a beautiful review. It was truly a privilege to work with you and help you celebrate such a wonderful event.

    Sincerely;
    Luke from Arlington Hall

    Luke Wilson is very knowledgeable and on top of even the small details. He is one of the very best!

    Experience at Arlington Hall was amazing! We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was. It is very elegant and southern, which worked perfectly for our wedding. We worked with Allison during the entire planning process. She was very helpful and was very responsive to our questions/concerns. We were a little disappointed when we saw they were showing the venue to potential customers on the day of our wedding... My bridesmaids and myself were in the ladies room getting our hair and makeup done, which is an intimate part of the wedding day, and all of a sudden we had a random stranger walk in to use the restroom. But other than that, we were very very happy. The food was amazing. The staff was amazing. DINA was amazing. She took care of us the entire night, making sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this place to anyone for their special day.

    Beautiful venue. Very classy and versatile with multiple rooms and outside areas (terraces, park) for mingling and food/bar stations. The food is fantastic and we are foodies :) The main contact is very professional and has a lot of experience and essentially acts as your wedding coordinator, helping to take care of the details and any rentals you need (linens, chairs, etc), and keeps things moving on the day of. We had the time of our lives and didn't worry about one thing all thanks to her.

    This is the most beautiful site for a wedding and/or reception in the Dallas area. It required little additional decorating to truly look stunning and classic. The food vendor they contract with is amazing as well- all my guests raved about the food. The only downside is that they do a lot of events. The coordinator for the site is not very good at communicating and often does not even respond to phone calls or emails. In the end, it was worth the frustration though.

    The venue is beautiful!! The staff was lovely- Dana rocks!! I will say, Allison our contact at the venue, was unresponsive and needed numerous follow ups to answer our questions and change things on our event order. Sometimes I felt like I was doing her job for her. We weren’t able to have a tasting of the food we wanted to serve. Thankfully it turned out to be delicious. She didn’t even tell me congratulations the night of my wedding. It’s beautiful but beware, there is hassle that goes along with the venue.

    If you are looking for them to take responsibility when things go south don't count on them

    I am the father of the Bride. My daughter's wedding took place this past November of 2018. They recommended that we get a tent erected to accommodate our guests for the reception. They promised that the tent can be made weather proof - in the sense, in case of rain we won't be interrupted. It costed ovr $18K and over $50K for food. The tent was put up without the side panel to prevent the rain. At least they had the top. The tent construction is done by just one firm. They had contracted with that company to build. But was not adequately supervised, to ensure that the side panels were put up. The invoice had a line item for the side panels and also in the contract with the tent company.

    thunderstorms rolled in as predicted for few days during the reception. We contracted them to give two wine pours. First pour was done and the main course was being served the thunderstorms came and disrupted the rest of the program. No second pour took place. They did try to serve food inside, but quite a many of the guests could not eat because it was plated dinner needing fork & knife and there weren't enough tables.

    The $18K+ for the tent was a total waste also nearly $8K of decorations & accoutrements were a waste. They took no responsibility. They pretty much said SCAT happens and blamed us saying the contract was between us and the tent company. The manager who later claimed to have been at the wedding but didn't even bother to introduce himself - quite the liar.

    It is a den of thieves, as we found out. While we were discussing how they would compensate us for the economic damages, they put through a charge for $37+K thru the credit card company, fraudulently charging my credit card we used to put up the deposit a year earlier. Always cancel your card after the deposit. I mistook them to be honorable, but they are frauds & thieves. We did not even get a chance to review the final bill. Additionally they did not even return the security deposit of $1,000 they took a year earlier - which was supposed to be returned. I am talking to Dallas county prosecutor's office to press charges.
