Ellum House is a former art gallery in the heart of Deep Ellum, remodeled into a 4,300 sq ft designer home across three floors plus a mezzanine. Modern, warm, and photogenic — a backdrop that does most of the decorating for you.
The layout works for events because it gives you rooms instead of one big box. Dinner at the table, drinks in the lounge, games on the mezzanine, air on the balcony. Guests move through the space rather than standing in one room all night.
Hosted here
Baby and bridal showers, birthdays and milestone celebrations, rehearsal dinners, corporate mixers and client dinners, brand experiences and launch parties, pop-up dinners, engagement parties.
Seating and capacity
• Main floor: dining table seating 12, plus a folding table seating 8 — 20 seated
• Lower level: three round tables seating 6 each — 18 seated, in a convertible studio space
• Full seated capacity: 38 across both floors, plus lounge seating throughout
• Tables and chairs are included. Send us your layout in advance and we'll have it set before you arrive.
Planning toasts, a presentation, or anything with a focal point? We'd suggest keeping your seated group to 20 on the main floor and using the lower level as a bar, lounge, or overflow — that way nobody misses the moment.
