The Carriage House by Walters Wedding Estates was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was kind, efficient, and incredibly attentive. Marissa and Hunter went above and beyond to make sure our day was smooth and stress-free, and their attention to detail truly made the space feel elegant and gorgeous. The staff was so incredible - they made the whole day a breeze, which was such a relief as the bride. We are so grateful to the Carriage House team for helping make our wedding day truly special.

Welcome to The Heights Villa Event Venue. Whether you are looking for a wedding venue, reception, corporate event, Quince or an elegant party, we have it all. There's much to see here, even more, to see in person. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line. Come by for a tour and see what all the hype is about. We are centrally located in the Heights area of the inner loop. We allow outside alcohol and catering.

I hosted a wedding for my son and my new daughter-in-law last weekend. I am in awe of the whole evening. The venue was so beautiful. We had the wedding and reception in the same room. After the wedding, all the guests went out to the bar area for the cocktail hour. The room was magically transformed from a wedding ceremony to a reception within a very short time. The owners, Cathy and Brendan, were so easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable the first time we met. They answered all our questions and were very accommodating. Cathy, Brendan and Kelli, our coordinator, guided us through the whole process, from beginning to end. And the food! We elected to use The Lasagna House, which was fabulous! Their signature lasagna and the chicken fettuccine penne pasta was delicious. Every guest I spoke with enjoyed both the gorgeous venue and the dinner. I could go on and on about this fabulous place, but instead, just go see it for yourselves. They have open houses frequently. You can see the wedding venue and taste the different caterers’ food and cakes. I could not have asked for a better experience at The Heights Villa!

We got married in April here and it was amazing! The venue is beautiful and there is a lot of space. My planner, Madison, was very helpful during the process and would answer any questions I had. Our coordinators Janeen and Jackie were awesome! They helped make the day flow perfectly and if we needed anything they were on top of it! The DJ was great as well and was included in the package. The only compliant I have was that they ran out of food even though less people showed up then in our final guest count. We got the steak option and it was delicious but the portions they gave out were small and they somehow still ran out...

Sunset Coffee Building 

5.0

Houston, TX
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,750

The Sunset Coffee Building is located at 1019 Commerce Street, Houston, TX at the intersection of Main Street and Buffalo Bayou next to Allen’s Landing, the “Plymouth Rock” of the City of Houston. Built in 1910, the Sunset Coffee Building was originally a coffee roasting company. In the late 60’s it was home to the Love Street Light Circus, a psychedelic music club featuring many local bands. In 2003, the building was purchased by Buffalo Bayou Partnership (BBP) as part of the organization’s master plan to revitalize Buffalo Bayou. The Sunset Coffee Building offers three rentable spaces for special events. The Rooftop Terrace looks out over the intersection of Buffalo and White Oak Bayous, the original site of the Port of Houston. The Café 1st floor level is an enclosed industrial style space with a balcony overlooking the bayous. The Plaza, located between the building and Commerce Street, is a perfect space for small concerts, festivals and receptions.

I had my wedding in the indoor cafe area on June 14,24. Rebecca was very helpful and always ready to help. She remained available at all time to us and She provided recommendations to help ease the work load when vendor shopping, helped during the event and even after during clean up time. We really enjoyed our wedding celebration at Sunset coffee and the view from the rooftop was a great setting for sunset photos with our photographer. I highly recommend booking for events at this location.

Houston Arboretum & Nature Center 

5.0

Houston, TX
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $800

Located on the western edge of Memorial Park, the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and the opportunity to experience the natural world. This 155-acre non-profit urban nature sanctuary provides education about the natural environment to people of all ages. It plays a vital role in protecting native plants and animals in the heart of the city where development threatens their survival. The Houston Arboretum is a private non-profit educational facility that operates city land.

I was originally planning for an outdoor wedding at the Event lawn. However, we had to make the last minute call to move it indoors the night before due to the expected rain the next day. I was initially disappointed but now I am so happy that we made that decision for our guests’ comfort. Carol and her team pulled through and had everything set up beautifully in the classrooms. ESPECIALLY adding the drapes on the ceiling which elevated the whole room. Luckily, we finished the ceremony early and was able to arrange our lion dancers to meet us out in the court yard lawn before the rain. I was able to get my favorite photo of all our guests with us and the lion dancers. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the space and said how beautiful that this piece of nature exists right in the Houston city limits THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

My wife and I had our wedding at Sterling at the end of July. We had an outdoor ceremony overlooking the golf course. It was a beautiful backing for our ceremony and pictures. We rented a tent from another company as it was hot outside, that really helped to keep our guests cool. The reception was in their ballroom with our buffet in a different room. That really added an elegant feel to our reception. The staff was so kind, so efficient, and soooo on point! The bartender was quick with the drinks and they were stronggg. All around we couldn't have asked for a better venue. My wife and I plan definitely plan on having future events at Sterling. You will not be disappointed!
