Howell and Dragon

What a great venue and staff.

We had our wedding here this past Saturday and everything was perfect! We worked with Gabrielle to plan everything and she made it all so easy. This was the perfect venue for our event, everything looked amazing, and the staff was extremely accommodating! I wish the bathroom and hall situation was different since it's super hot in the summer but, we knew what we were getting into before hand. I loved that we were able to pick which wall we'd like the ceremony against and that we could decorate our tables prior to everything starting. Since all the businesses were closed, parking wasn't an issue. There's private security driving around all night to make sure everything was safe. The building is handicap accessible. My mother in law is in a powered wheelchair and had no problems maneuvering anywhere she wanted to go.

As an interfaith wedding rabbi and officiant, I have had the privilege of celebrating weddings in a wide variety of venues over the years. What impressed me most about Howell and Dragon was its remarkable ability to adapt to each couple's unique vision while still maintaining its own distinctive character. From the moment guests arrive, there is a sense of possibility. The exposed brick walls, elegant chandeliers, polished floors, and thoughtfully designed event spaces create a beautiful setting, but what makes the venue special is its flexibility. Rather than imposing a particular style on every wedding, Howell and Dragon provides a sophisticated canvas that allows each celebration to feel entirely personal. As someone who spends a great deal of time observing how a venue shapes a wedding experience, I appreciated the way the space is organized. The separate cocktail area, ballroom, outdoor patio, and private suites allow the celebration to unfold naturally from one stage of the day to the next. Guests are able to move comfortably through the event while remaining connected to the overall experience. What I remember most was the balance between elegance and versatility. The venue has enough architectural character to feel special from the moment guests walk in, yet it remains flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of styles and personalities. Whether a couple envisions a classic celebration, a contemporary design, or something entirely their own, the space supports that vision beautifully. Another quality that stood out was the convenience of the all-inclusive approach. Planning a wedding involves countless moving pieces, and Howell and Dragon has clearly invested in creating an experience that simplifies the process while still allowing couples to personalize every detail. That combination of support and flexibility is a tremendous asset for any couple. The staff was professional, attentive, and a pleasure to work with throughout the celebration. Their experience coordinating events was evident in every interaction, helping ensure that the day unfolded smoothly and allowing the couple and their guests to focus on enjoying the moment. Numerous couples have praised the team's responsiveness, organization, and commitment to making each event feel seamless. I would gladly recommend Howell and Dragon to any couple looking for a wedding venue that combines elegant surroundings, exceptional flexibility, and a genuine commitment to personalization. It is a place where the venue enhances the celebration without ever overshadowing it, allowing each wedding to feel uniquely its own. That ability to transform itself around the couple's vision is what makes Howell and Dragon so memorable.
