new faux wood ceramic floors, stained wooden walls, crystal chandeliers, and a Texas-sized bar will

welcome your guests as the party gets under way.

Luxurious surroundings await you and your guests with marble floors, grandiose columns, and a circular

staircase with a gorgeous crystal chandelier in the center of the entry way, giving you a view of the

Great Room and foyer below. No detail has been overlooked. Every room has been decorated to make

you and your guests feel right at home. Ashelynn Manor has 25 beautiful acres with a park-like view.

Alcohol: Ashelynn Manor does not have a liquor license. However, our clients are permitted to bring

in their own alcohol. A licensed insured bartender from one of our preferred vendors is required. We

feel this is a great advantage for our brides because this can keep their adult beverage cost down by not

having to pay elevated bar cost to the venue. We will provide the contact information to reserve your

bartender. Also required is an additional security officer for events that will be serving alcohol. This is an

additional expense to the client.

Amusement:

Dance Floor: Is located in the reception area.

DJ: $2,000. Two people included + 5hrs event time. DJ services provided by SignatureEventsTX
