Why we like The Filter Building on White Rock Lake

Perched on the scenic shores of White Rock Lake, The Filter Building is a premier Dallas venue that masterfully blends industrial heritage with serene waterfront beauty. Originally constructed in 1922, this historic landmark features authentic 1920s red brick, original iron trusses, and soaring windows that flood the Main Hall with natural light. The venue’s "industrial-chic" aesthetic serves as a sophisticated blank canvas, allowing couples to customize the space to fit any style—from vintage romance to modern minimalism. With its sweeping views of the water and the gentle breezes of the lake, the venue offers a peaceful escape from the city’s bustle while remaining just minutes from the heart of Dallas. Designed for seamless event flow, The Filter Building accommodates up to 200 guests and provides a variety of picturesque settings for every stage of a wedding. Couples can exchange vows on the manicured lakeside lawn with the water as their backdrop, followed by a sunset cocktail hour on the Lakeside Terrace. Inside, the Main Hall’s stained concrete floors and high ceilings create an atmospheric space for dining and dancing, supported by the culinary expertise of Food Glorious Food (FGF Catering). Beyond its physical beauty, the venue operates as a non-profit, with rental proceeds directly supporting local community rowing and outreach programs, allowing your celebration to leave a meaningful impact on the Dallas community.
