Lawless Spirits & Kitchen 

5.0

Houston, TX
  • Up to 85 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Located in the historic Rice Hotel, Lawless is Houston's newest en vogue establishment. The interior exudes glamour in every detail. Upon entry, guests will proceed up a grand staircase that sits beneath a glorious chandelier. The outside terrace is a beautiful backdrop as it overlooks downtown.

We had our wedding here in February of 2024. The space is so incredibly beautiful. It would have been worth it for the view and the vibe alone. To our enormous delight, the staff is also unbelievably friendly and helpful, and the cocktails are to die for. Lawless did not charge an event fee, only the food and beverage minimum, a small fee to do the ceremony on site (ours was 500) and a fee for a day of coordinator (so worth it!). This is a game changer for a wedding budget and allowed us to splurge on some things we thought we'd have to miss out on. We selected the plated dinner, and they were flexible with us on plating when we asked for small adjustments. Every time we had a question, they were extremely responsive. We had concerns about accessibility for our guests with wheelchairs, but the team at Lawless provided detailed instructions on how to access from The Rice elevators. We cannot thank Mel, Emily, Courtney, Morgan, and Caleb enough for making our special day run smoothly and look perfect.

Sunset Coffee Building 

5.0

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

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.

Le Tesserae 

5.0

Houston, TX
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

This Fall the Astorian proudly debuts Le Tesserae, a 20,000 square-foot indoor/outdoor private event space and rooftop bar overlooking Buffalo Bayou. Guests will be greeted by a stunning reception lobby, extensively detailed with a hand-laid mosaic floor and crown-molded ceiling, before entering the spacious ballroom, enveloped by floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing patrons to seamlessly flow between inside and outside settings. The venue design blends old-world artistry with modern architecture and incorporates natural and urban elements, from its wraparound balcony and covered patio to its unobstructed views of downtown Houston. Le Tesserae can comfortably accommodate a variety of events including weddings, receptions, corporate meetings, social gatherings and proprietary programming. Adjacent is a 5,000 square foot rooftop bar perfect for small group gatherings, happy hours, after-parties and outdoor private events.

We got married at Le Tesserae on 5/4/24 and it was the most magical night of our lives! Their entire team was so helpful and knowledgeable, and made the venue selection process a no-brainer. We were the first wedding here, and even as it was quite literally being built, we never got super stressed or discouraged, thanks to their professionalism and communication. Courtney and Joe were SO INCREDIBLE to work with! In addition to their amazing staff, Le Tesserae also had everything I was looking for in a venue – beautiful décor, an indoor/outdoor space, a pretty and spacious bridal suite, great food and an amazing view of the city. It truly checked every box. From the moment you step off the elevator and see the chandeliers and mosaic tile, you gasp and are awestruck by the beauty and charm of the venue. After signing our paperwork with the venue, they shared a list of recommended vendors with us, everything from music, dance floors, photography, videography, etc., and I can’t tell you how helpful that ended up being. It’s because of Le Tesserae that we were able to then secure the rest of our Dream Team! We (us and our guests) are still on a high from the magic of our wedding day and night. I would 100% recommend this venue if you’re looking for something new and modern while also being classy and timeless. Everything was perfect!

Ronin Harrisburg 

5.0

Houston, TX
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,300

Ronin Harrisburg combines an industrial aesthetic with a sophisticated edge. Taking inspiration from the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, the 4,400 square foot Ronin Harrisburg space exudes a chic, modern style. During the day, natural light pours through the space’s three skylights, while the evening sunset creates beautiful floral patterns that shine through the laser cut vine decals. This modern, versatile space is perfect for your beautiful wedding day!

As a wedding planner and designer, I go crazy for easily customizable spaces that are naturally beautiful even without decorations. That is ABSOLUTELY Ronin Harrisburg! Every corner of the spaces makes for a perfect photo backdrop with or without adding floral, candles, or other decor. The venue team is so easy to work with, and unlike many other venues we've worked in, they ALWAYS respond and answer questions in a friendly, timely fashion. Their LED ceiling lights are so cool and really set the mood for each portion of your wedding day, since they allow you to have the colors changed throughout your event. It really is a perfect, quiet city location (that actually has on-site parking) for the modern-day classy couple!
