About The Barnhill Center at Historic Simon Theatre

Looking for a one-of-a-kind ceremony venue? The Hasskarl Auditorium is a 321 seat vintage Vaudeville theatre restored to its original beauty with modern-day technology such as Digital Cinema Projection. The theatre makes for a one-of-a-kind ceremony location that you and your guests will never forget. The Bullock Ballroom offers seating for up to 200 people and features beautiful Chiavari chairs, original 1925 wood floors, gold and crystal chandeliers and wall sconces, and four different types of tables including conference, banquet, 60 inch round tables, and cocktail tables for a unique layout. The ballroom also offers a dedicated niche for a band or DJ, state-of-the-art Audio/video system, catering kitchen, and elegant restrooms. Our newest space is Morriss Hall which was completed in 2020. Morriss Hall offers seating for up to 220 people and features a more modern aesthetic including carpeted floors, elegant bowl chandeliers, and two huge windows at either end of the room that look out into Alamo Alley and Douglas Street. Morriss Hall also features an airwall that when put into place creates two smaller rooms – the Sam D.W. Low Jr. Room with capacity around 120 and the Johnie Schulte Jr. Room with capacity for up to 75. The space has modern audio and visual equipment in both spaces and features restrooms and a smaller catering prep area in the hallway just outside the rooms. Morriss Hall is a great space for a grand rehearsal dinner, wedding shower and more!
