Venue options for ceremonies and receptions
Virgin Hotels Dallas provides a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that suit intimate gatherings and larger receptions. Notable options for weddings include the Giant Ballroom, The Manor with terrace and skyline views, the rooftop Pool Club, and the Secret Garden courtyard.

Capacities and how spaces are configured
Capacities differ by room and configuration; the Giant Ballroom lists theater, banquet and reception numbers and is divisible into three sections if you want separate ceremony and reception areas. The Manor's seated banquet and reception numbers change based on layout.
If you need a specific capacity for your date or layout (head table, dance floor, band, AV), ask the hotel’s events team for current room diagrams and confirmed numbers — published capacities provide a planning starting point but exact limits depend on your configuration.
- Giant Ballroom: multiple capacity listings exist (theater, banquet and reception); plan with the events team for your layout.
- The Manor: banquet-style capacities typically quoted in the mid-100s depending on configuration.
- The Pool Club rooftop: smaller than the Giant but suitable for terrace ceremonies and receptions; ask about buyout availability and 21+ nightlife restrictions for evening events.
| Space | Planning note |
|---|---|
| Giant Ballroom | Divisible; used for larger seated receptions (work with events for exact counts) |
| The Manor | Mid-size seated receptions; terrace available for photos/ceremony |
| Secret Garden | Best for intimate seated events (around 20 seated / 30 standing commonly cited) |
Catering, dining and event dining options
Commons Club is the hotel’s flagship restaurant and handles on-site wedding catering and private dining. It operates breakfast, lunch and dinner service and has a private dining room (The Kitchen) that can be used for rehearsal dinners or bridal luncheons.
The Pool Club offers poolside bites and cocktails for rooftop events, but rooftop evening programming may include a 21+ nightlife shift — confirm hours and any age restrictions with the events team if children are attending.
- Commons Club — full-service restaurant for plated or buffet wedding meals and private dining
- Pool Club — rooftop menu of cocktails and light bites for terrace receptions; hours vary seasonally

The hotel welcomes children of all ages for stays, but the registering guest must be at least 21 to check in. The property is pet-friendly (up to two pets per room at no additional fee), which can be helpful if you want pets in wedding photos or as part of your ceremony.
