| Choosing the Perfect Space |
Paraiso Maravilla in the Galleria area has recently become a major player on the Houston event scene. Inspired by the architecture of the Mediterranean villas of Italy and Spain, the facility can easily be used for sophisticated corporate banquets and formal dinners. Billed as the “elegant alternative,” the ornate furnishings of Paraiso Maravilla bring with it a built-in theme that’s perfect for an evening of adult dress-up.
Complete with gardens, a grand entryway and hand-carved stone walls, this majestic facility can hold up to 300 guests for a seated function. The Monet Room features marble floors and an impressive fireplace. The Palm Court is the gem of Paraiso Maravilla as this inner courtyard, replete with an impressive balcony, gives the facility its signature grandeur.
The facility’s preferred catering list includes such esteemed names as Bennie Ferrell Catering, Bailey Connor Catering and Campbell’s Catering, making sure that all of your cuisine needs are taken care of no matter what the demands. (It should be noted that the use of caterers not on the facility’s preferred list automatically incurs a $500 fee.) A variety of bar packages are also available, with menus featuring an assortment of beers, wines and champagnes. Equipment is included in the price of each package and in-house labor is available to staff the bar.
Want to book a facility that’s tinged with drama without a single piece of decoration? The Houston Theater District allows BMPs to host corporate meetings on the stages of some of the most renowned performing arts venues in the world. The Alley Theatre, Jones Hall, the Wortham Center and the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts are all able to accommodate presentation-based events with set theater-tiered seating. Incorporating the theater district into your corporate agenda not only benefits BMPs, but also raises awareness of Houston’s performing arts organizations, which greatly benefit from any exposure they receive.
Houston is in no short supply of general meeting facilities. Venues with a specific bent on teambuilding, however, are few and far between. For a day filled with fun, great food and team spirit, Dave & Buster’s provides corporate-level meeting spaces with a college-age atmosphere. Dave & Buster’s has formed a selection of activities proven to build team unity and camaraderie including Ultimate Quest, a scavenger hunt inside the venue, and Mission Task Force, a 007-inspired activity. The Midway allows meeting planners to organize live entertainment for an even more exciting adults’ night out. Billiards and bowling equipment are also available for more traditional forms of recreation.
The Showroom is equipped with audiovisual equipment as well as a stage and podium. The meeting space can accommodate a variety of functions, including theater- and banquet-style events. The Party Room is a smaller space that’s perfect for a buffet or an exclusive cocktail party. Meeting planners are free to coordinate each space to there personal liking, ensuring that not only will guests have fun, but will also benefit from a productive corporate program.
