Built in 1904, this historic home on Ross Avenue has been lovingly preserved by the Dallas Woman’s Forum, and today it welcomes guests for weddings, receptions, corporate events, holiday parties, and more.

Whether you’re planning a milestone celebration or a professional gathering, the mansion provides a one-of-a-kind backdrop.
Here are five unique events you can host at the Alexander Mansion:
1. Weddings and Receptions in Dallas
Your wedding day deserves a venue as timeless as your love story.

Volunteers from the Dallas Woman’s Forum deck the halls with Christmas trees, greenery, and twinkling lights—creating a magical atmosphere for holiday parties, corporate events, and family gatherings. Hosting your celebration here adds a touch of nostalgia and warmth that simply can’t be replicated in a standard party venue.
For your event planning purposes, please note, holiday decorating begins in mid November through Thanksgiving. Our Christmas Tea is held during the first two weeks of December. The Mansion remains decorated for the holidays and available for your special year-end event through the first week of January. See more details about renting the Alexander Manion here.
