Larry and Karen began to dream about magnificent vineyards and possibly even creating wine while traveling around Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand, and other exotic locations. When Wild Stallion Vineyards was founded in 2009, that goal became a reality! In 2008, Wild Stallion Vineyards planted a small test site of Blanc du Bois grapes, a variety of the widespread Vitis vinifera that is best suited to the Gulf Coast environment. Blanc des Bois grapes create a dry, fruity wine that has received numerous national and international prizes. We currently have nearly three acres of trees planted, and they are doing fantastically! We planted two more acres directly adjacent to the Event Center in the spring of 2015 to provide our guests a closer look at the vines. A vineyard is the most tranquil and lovely location for a wedding. Who wouldn't want to exchange vows in front of a vineyard? Wild Stallion Vineyards is Harris County's lone vineyard, so you won't find anything like it anywhere else. The Wild Stallion Event Center is the ideal location for your next birthday celebration, family gathering, business meeting, wedding, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or any other event that would benefit from a gorgeous vineyard backdrop. Our event space can accommodate up to 150 people, but a gathering of 125 people is perfect, especially if you want a huge dance floor. On-site food is provided by Wild Stallion Vineyards, which has a full commercial kitchen. All prices include complete room set-up and tear-down, 72-inch round tables, walnut chiavari chairs, china flatware and glassware, white linens, and more.

The Hall at Ironworks offers 16,800 square feet of blank canvas to bring your Pinterest board to life. The History: Built in 1948 for Cameron Ironworks, this nationally registered historic landmark carries a legacy — from inventing the first blowout preventer to earning national recognition for World War II manufacturing. Today, the original ironwork, soaring 28-foot ceilings, and industrial character create a dramatic backdrop that's entirely yours to transform. The Space: 16,800 square feet of open, adaptable space. You have the option to use our full venue or have it divided in half for a more intimate setting. With a full venue, we can hold up to 1,200 standing guests or 500 seated. The layout is flexible by design because your celebration should fit your vision, not the other way around. What Makes It Different: This is a blank canvas with serious bones. Steel beams and natural light pouring through massive windows give you a foundation with character. The indoor mezzanine features built-in stairs that work as both a photo moment and a versatile upper level for DJs, bands, immersive installations, or whatever you dream up. And the 10-ton overhead crane? It's available for large-scale hanging installations- chandeliers, florals, art, anything you want suspended in midair. Your décor, your lighting, your florals take center stage here. The space supports your vision without competing for attention. The Weather: Our venue is completely indoor. Houston skies are unpredictable, but here, they just add to the atmosphere. The Location: We're on the historic Ironworks campus in East Downtown Houston, just minutes from downtown. The campus is a creative neighborhood hub filled with cafes, boutiques, photography studios, and local businesses, so everything you need is steps away. Coffee before the ceremony, a last-minute hair blowout, a thoughtful gift- it's all here.
