The Parador is a historic wedding venue in Houston, Texas. Built in 1928, The Parador is a testament to the District Era's architectural artistry. Marring Mediterranean Style with Byzantine detail, this magnificent building is designated a Texas Historic Landmark and is the last of its kind in Houston's Museum District. The craftsmanship in creating this stunning five-sided structure is evident throughout The Parador. Intimate spaces evoking the splendor of yesteryear meet with the grandeur of stately lounges, echoing a place in time and a timeless beauty.

Facilities and Capacity

Today, this refurbished masterpiece is one of Houston's premier social and corporate event venues, as well as private parties and seminars. The building offers two large adjoining spaces, each with its own courtyard or garden, which can be reserved individually or used jointly to accommodate larger events. Inspiring and elegant, The Duomo is the centerpiece of The Parador, offering a spectacular setting for over 200 guests. Light gently flows from its soaring thirty-five-foot dome, bathing the exquisite space in golden tones. Deep-hued wood underscores the gracefulness of its three-tiered floor. Architectural details paint a picture of magnificence - through its arched doors awaits a covered loggia with an adjoining garden for guests to explore.

Quaint and distinguished, The Cloister reflects an understated elegance. Connected to the Duomo through carved wooden floors, The Cloister is a 3,000-square-foot idyllic setting where 230 guests can congregate for refined dinners and unique gatherings. For a change of scenery, The Cloister offers a charming private courtyard where guests can socialize in an open-air environment. The team provides several wedding venue rental packages, including essential event rentals such as tables, chairs, and linens.
