About this venue

Discreetly situated in a landmark building, as designated by The Houston Historical Society, The Astorian is an industrial chic, 14,000 square foot private loft space located in the Heights area of Houston. Conceived by Andria design to replicate New York City’s revered Grand Central Station, The Astorian is a throwback to 1920’s glamour and Art Deco design. The venue offers a contemporary, multi-level facility equipped with 14-foot ceilings, a fully functional gourmet kitchen and bar, and floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping views of downtown Houston.

Absolutely! Our Soho Suite and Lexington Lounge are great spaces for birthday parties, corporate meetings, photo and video shoots, bridal showers, baby showers and workshops. Please inquire with The Astorian for pricing and availability.
The Astorian is a TABC licensed venue, therefore, all beverages must be purchased directly through the Astorian. The Astorian offers open bar beverage packages and has a full-time highly trained beverage staff to handle all your beverage needs and customizations. The above information applies to the main event space, Soho Suite and Lexington Lounge.
The Astorian works exclusively with three fabulous catering companies. Please inquire with The Astorian for catering contact information. Aside from catering and alcohol, all vendors considered for the event (DJ’s, bands, event consultants, etc.) must be approved by The Astorian prior to being contracted.
We love our furry friends! The Astorian welcomes all trained and well-behaved dogs for photos and wedding ceremonies. Once the reception portion begins, the dog or dogs will need to be escorted home for the evening, unless they are a registered service dog. All dogs must be attended to and on a leash the entire time they are on Astorian property.
The Astorian does not allow glitter, confetti, balloon drops or open flame. Hanging any items from our chandeliers or ceiling and placing decals on our floor, walls, or ceiling is also strictly prohibited. For wedding exits, we allow sparklers (away from the building), bubbles and light-colored flower petals.
The Astorian only hosts one event per day to ensure our clients have a successful event without feeling rushed!
Our professional event team has been carefully selected to provide exceptional service for your event. The Astorian will staff bartenders, bar manager(s), HPD and valet attendants (we are valet only) for your event! Our contracted caterers will arrange all your staffing needs for catering services.
To be sure your wedding is executed with excellence, we require all wedding events have, at minimum, a day of coordinator.
