One of downtown Dallas’s most historic gems is The Joule. The luxury hotel sits at the intersection of Neo-gothic architectural glamour, modern art sophistication, and timeless Southern hospitality—a combination that makes it one of Dallas's most unique destinations. The Joule is one of our all-time favorites for everything a weekend escape to a full-blown wedding, Texas-style.

Originality is one of The Joule's hallmarks. Named one of the Leading Hotels of the World (an organization of independent, artful hotels around the globe), The Joule offers a one-of-a-kind experience with a museum-caliber art collection, world-class spa, and personalized service.  

And when it comes to service, there’s no better way to experience it than when planning a wedding at The Joule. The events and catering team does not offer wedding packages, rather they opt for a more creative mindset, treating every wedding as a blank canvas. Their uncommon approach delivers completely personalized, unexpected experiences.

The boutique hotel has no end to the spaces and services it can provide its wedding guests. Host your rehearsal dinner at CBD Provisions. Send guests to experience the nearby Dallas Arts District while you ready yourself at The Spa for your walk down the aisle. Exchange vows with your soon-to-be-husband at The Terrace or The Eye, one of Big D's most iconic outdoor spaces, and celebrate the night away at the Midnight Rambler, The Joule's subterranean bar. Then, slip away to your Penthouse to start your life together as Mr. and Mr. 

The art scene in Dallas is dynamic in a way few fully appreciate. Restaurants are more worthy of James Beard Awards than many other cities. The nightlife as ecstatic as anywhere else in the US.  And Dallas is the home of Neiman Marcus, a claim nowhere else can make. So, Dallas should be on your map when wanderlust strikes. 

But when wedding bells start ringing, set your sights on The Joule, Dallas's true original.
