The Hendrix in Stafford, Texas, hosts company events, holiday parties, weddings and large private celebrations for 80 to 350 guests, in two rooms that are never booked at the same time. It sits about 20 minutes from downtown Houston and close to Sugar Land.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells itself to corporate clients for awards nights, galas, dinners and the end-of-year party. The Mansion, on the ground floor, is the main room for a company event. The Dome, upstairs, suits a board dinner, a client evening or a launch for a smaller group. Only one event is held in the building at a time, so your team has the whole place to itself.
A 3D video wall is included in every booking. Organisers use it for brand visuals, the year's figures, a staff photo reel or a countdown, without hiring an AV company. Banquet tables, Chiavari chairs, set-up and break-down, and on-site support staff are part of the booking as well. Guest parking is free and on site.
Holiday parties are the busiest period. The site says November and December dates fill during September and October, so organisers planning a year-end event should ask about the calendar early.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core use of the building. The Mansion holds a full ceremony and reception, with the main bar, the prep kitchen and both getting-ready suites on the same floor. The Dome fits a smaller wedding, a ceremony-only booking or a rehearsal dinner. Only one wedding takes place per day, and a concierge stays on site until the end of the evening.
Rooms and capacities
The Mansion covers 9,930 square feet on the ground floor. It seats 300 guests and holds 350 standing, and it is step-free. The Dome covers about 2,000 square feet upstairs, has its own large marble bar, and is recommended for 80 guests or fewer. The two rooms are never booked at once, so guest count usually decides which one you take.
Catering
The Hendrix works with the caterer you choose. Any licensed caterer can serve, there is no approved list, and the venue does not take a share of a food bill you book directly. It can also arrange a caterer on request. A 1,000 square foot prep kitchen is available to the caterer, and there are two bars, one on each floor.
Getting there
The address is 1250 Texas Parkway, Stafford, Texas 77477. Stafford is in the Greater Houston area, about 20 minutes from downtown Houston and minutes from Sugar Land. Parking at the door is free for every guest.
The venue also hosts graduations, quinceañeras, cultural celebrations, religious gatherings, civic events and non-profit fundraisers, and a professional sound system is available for live music and DJs. Tours can be booked through the website.
