It’s common to hold occasions like weddings, fundraisers, and galas at event venues. There may come a time when you need to host an event outside that scope but don’t have the resources to pull it off. Rather than settling for less, reach out to The Ballroom at Bayou Place.
Our 15,000-square-foot venue encompasses two floors of Bayou Place, a noteworthy building in downtown Houston. High-end audio and video equipment are available, making it easy to put on presentations or support speakers. The space can accommodate seated receptions with a stage and dance floor for 600 guests, and more than 1,000 attendees can fit comfortably with a standing reception. Valet parking is an option, too.
Wrapping around the space are floor-to-ceiling windows and two walk-out balconies, which combine effortlessly to create an indoor-outdoor, open-air experience unlike any other in Houston. Guests can stroll around and enjoy the sweeping views of the Theater District, a historic city pocket.
