1859 Ashton Villa Overview

The 1859 Ashton Villa, first of Galveston’s great Broadway mansions, has long been at the center of the Island’s social life. The home’s original first-floor interior rooms, with their elegant architecture and gold filigree, have been the site of stylish entertainment since before the War Between the States, and, newly restored from the damage inflicted by Hurricane Ike. For larger events like your wedding, consider the spacious open ballroom, which was added in the 1920s for use by the affluent Brown family, the building’s first owners. With its low stage, caterer’s prep room, rest room facilities and convenient parking, the ballroom provides an enchanting setting for weddings and receptions. With its elaborate chandelier and dramatic lighting, the Villa makes an elegant venue for the most romantic day of your life. Gather your family and friends at the beautiful 1859 Ashton Villa for a memorable wedding celebration.
