Why Dallas Event Venues are Hotter than Sofia Vergara
Much of the meeting industry looks to Las Vegas, Orlando or Chicago, and I know those cities have their charms. However, in my opinion, Dallas facilities can rival them all. To be fair, this is totally none scientific and clearly my opinion; but as a corporate meeting and event entertainer, I have been everywhere and perhaps have a unique insider perspective.

In this blog, I’m not going to list every event venue in Dallas Texas. There are acres of them. Instead, let’s look at a cross section of what is available and some that offer a unique experience. Where possible I provided links directly to each venue’s event planning information. 

If I was forced to pick only one place in Dallas that Becker Magic could perform as corporate event magicians, I’d probably go for the Gaylord Texan. It’s just the right atmosphere for us. Like all the Gaylord hotels it is a vibrant and lush environment. It feels festive but still business like and elegant. Immediately upon arrival your attendees know they are in for something special. Also, it’s close to the DFW airport, which might be important to you.

I’m certain that after I publish this blog I’ll regret that I didn’t add a few more favorites but it would be a crime not to at least mention Dallas landmark the “Hilton Anatole.” The Anatole is an icon here in big D and sit on 45 beautiful acres in the vibrant “Design District.” Just north of the city, the hotel is as much a part of Dallas as is brisket and football.

We’ve done a good number of events at the Intercontinental in Dallas. Not only is this property close to where we live (which is nice for us), it has the “Malachite Ballroom” which has a real stage installed. As an entertainer this is a wonderful luxury and it makes it so much easier to deliver a great program for you. If you want “a show” for your corporate meeting or event, take a look here… and then call BECKER MAGIC!

If you need hotel rooms for your event, consider Hotel ZaZa. It is an odd mix of opulence and whimsy that works in a wonderful way. ZaZa is not so over the top that you can’t conduct business, truly it will bring out your more creative side.

The House of Blues has outlets around the country including Dallas’ own “West End.” The HOB has an electric atmosphere and may be exactly what you are looking for. Frankly, I like the House of Blues for their eclectic menu and that they showcase many of our local handcrafted beers. It’s my kinda place. It’s a chain, yet still uniquely “Dallas.”

If your group is around 200 people and you are looking for something unconventional then consider the wild “Quixotic World Magical Event Space.” It is 5000 square feet of pure whimsy located in trendy Deep Ellum. A vibrant mix of weird and wonderful awaits your guests as they are looked after by a professional and friendly staff. How could I not love a venue that has a dedicated “sorcerer’s stage?”
