Indian & South Asian Wedding Venue Near Dallas
Host your mehndi, sangeet, haldi, baraat and pheras across one weekend on a private, gated 5-acre estate, with 28 of your family staying on-site and up to 50 guests at every event.
A South Asian Wedding Venue Built for Multi-Day Celebrations
An Indian wedding is not a single event but a series of meaningful traditions: the mehndi, the sangeet, the haldi, the baraat, the ceremony and the reception, usually across two or three days with the whole family together. Most Dallas venues offer a ballroom for one evening and send everyone back to hotels (see our guide to Indian wedding venues in Dallas–Fort Worth for how the options compare). The Penrose House gives you a private, gated 5-acre estate in Princeton, Texas, where every event has its own space and your closest family stays on-site for the entire weekend.
With 7 luxury bedrooms accommodating up to 28 overnight guests, your wedding party and closest family members stay together throughout the celebration. No shuttling between hotels. No coordinating across scattered venues. Just one estate where every tradition unfolds naturally, 45 minutes from Dallas and an easy drive from Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney and Richardson.
Every event gets its own setting: mehndi under the string-lit pergola, sangeet in the lounge and game room, haldi on the covered patio, the baraat up the gated driveway, and pheras under a mandap on the ceremony deck, the lawn or the covered pavilion. Open flame is permitted for the havan and agni, and you are welcome to bring your own Indian caterer.
Families have celebrated Hindu and Bengali weddings here, and the estate is equally suited to Gujarati, Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Sikh, Muslim, Pakistani and fusion celebrations.
Up to 50 guests per event · Sleeps 28 overnight · Open flame permitted · Your own caterer welcome
