Deco House is a 5,100 square foot Art Deco event venue in Houston's River Oaks corridor. Bold geometry and rich materials give every event a sense of occasion the moment guests walk in, so the room does a lot of the work for you. Our space seats up to 160 guests for a banquet and holds up to 200 for a standing reception. We host wedding receptions, birthdays, baby showers, bar and bat mitzvahs, and dinner parties. A seated dinner and a dancing crowd can each feel completely different in the same room, depending on your layout, your palette, and the people you bring together. Do it your way. Outside catering is welcome and you can bring your own alcohol. If you would rather not manage it, we have preferred vendors for both. Cafe Natalie and 100 Percent Hospitality are our preferred caterers and already know the room. Use our vendors for the whole event, for part of it, or not at all. We do not provide decor or an in-house planner, which keeps the space open to your vision and your team. If you want help, we will connect you with planners who know the venue. The best way to understand Deco House is to see it. Share your date, guest count, and the kind of event you have in mind, and our sales team will walk you through availability and set up a tour. We look forward to hosting you. Deco House 4235 Richmond Ave, Suite 200 Houston, TX

Just south of Spring, where the pines thicken and city noise falls away, Ashton Gardens North Houston makes its case as a glass-walled event venue built entirely around light. The open-beam stone chapel is walled in windows, so the surrounding forest becomes part of any ceremony or program rather than a backdrop glimpsed from inside, with towering twin mahogany doors setting a dramatic entrance to the raised altar. That same light carries into the reception, where a winding staircase gives every entrance a little theater on the way down to the expansive Chandelier Ballroom. There, elegant Austrian crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow above the room while floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with sunlight, creating a versatile backdrop for everything from formal galas to lively evening celebrations. Outside, garden-lined paths wander past a quiet stream and a vine-draped courtyard, offering more photo and event backdrops than a single afternoon can use. Generously proportioned suites provide flexible space for hosts, VIPs, or getting-ready needs, ensuring the morning-of unfolds without anyone feeling rushed or cramped. With room for up to 200 guests, full-service catering and beverage packages, and a curated network of in-house and preferred vendors, Ashton Gardens North Houston offers a serene, light-filled setting built for scale, whether hosting a wedding, corporate event, or milestone celebration.
