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.

They took care of all the set up and trash, which was a huge bonus. We were also able to drop off things earlier in the day and they quickly changed the plans when the weather turned bad. We would absolutely recommend the gallery to any couples looking for a small intimate venue.

I was originally planning for an outdoor wedding at the Event lawn. However, we had to make the last minute call to move it indoors the night before due to the expected rain the next day. I was initially disappointed but now I am so happy that we made that decision for our guests’ comfort. Carol and her team pulled through and had everything set up beautifully in the classrooms. ESPECIALLY adding the drapes on the ceiling which elevated the whole room. Luckily, we finished the ceremony early and was able to arrange our lion dancers to meet us out in the court yard lawn before the rain. I was able to get my favorite photo of all our guests with us and the lion dancers. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the space and said how beautiful that this piece of nature exists right in the Houston city limits THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

About wedding venues in Houston, TX

Why Is Houston Perfect for Your Wedding Celebration?

Houston gives you that perfect blend of big-city sophistication and genuine Texas charm with its diverse venue options. You'll find spaces for intimate gatherings of 50 guests or grand celebrations with over 300 attendees. October tops the popularity charts for Houston weddings, and you'll benefit from exceptional venue choices ranging from historic buildings to sleek modern designs. The authentic Texas hospitality shines through personalized service and regional food traditions that your guests will love.

What Does a Houston Wedding Actually Cost?

Wedding budgets in Houston shift dramatically based on how many people you invite. A small wedding with 50 guests runs about $20,399 while stepping up to 100 guests pushes that to $34,008. Medium-sized weddings with 150 guests typically cost $46,803 and 200-guest celebrations average $58,239. Larger affairs with 250 guests come in around $69,676 while big celebrations with 300 guests reach $81,113.

50 guests (small wedding)$20,399
100 guests$34,008
150 guests$46,803
200 guests$58,239
250 guests$69,676
300 guests (large wedding)$81,113

Venues typically cost between $6,600 and $8,000 which is about 16% of your total budget. That's actually lower than the national average of 25% so you're getting good value. Most couples in Houston lock in their venue about 13 months before saying "I do."

Which Houston Venues Are Fully Accessible?

The Grove offers complete accessibility throughout its sprawling 12-acre downtown location with smooth pathways and elevator access to its rooftop deck. You can host up to 800 guests on the Grace Event Lawn. Houston Arboretum & Nature Center features wheelchair-friendly paths winding through natural settings and accommodates up to 150 guests. Jennings Trace provides step-free entrances throughout and can welcome up to 350 guests with inclusive facilities that work for everyone regardless of mobility needs.

How Can You Experience Houston Weddings Remotely?

Houston venues are going beyond basic streaming to include remote guests in meaningful ways. The Bell Tower on 34th can set up interactive elements like live polls and Q&A sessions for your virtual attendees. The Astorian's tech capabilities support virtual guestbook signing and real-time interaction that keeps everyone engaged. Ronin Harrisburg's flexible space works great for interactive virtual activities your remote guests will appreciate. Pelazzio's certified planners can help integrate advanced remote participation tools while The Grove's park setting creates opportunities for virtual scavenger hunts or AR-enabled activities everyone can enjoy.

Which Houston Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Houstonian delivers refined Southern hospitality and cuisine making it a trusted choice for elegant wedding celebrations with memorable meals.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a Houston Wedding Venue?

Transportation access matters in Houston's sprawling geography with downtown venues offering easy hotel access while suburban venues might need shuttle services for your guests. Climate control systems make a huge difference during Houston's humid summers so newer facilities typically offer better management. Photography timing should account for Houston's dramatic late afternoon light in venues with western exposures versus the softer morning light in eastern-facing spaces. These practical considerations can make or break your big day.
