- 1 space at this venue
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
