The Revaire

The Revaire is an event venue at 7122 Old Katy Road in Houston, built for corporate events, fundraisers, galas and weddings. Two connected indoor spaces, The Gallery and The Great Room, handle groups from 150 guests up to 1,100 in theater layout, and the venue is rented exclusively for the day.

Seminars and company events The corporate page lists conferences, product demos, cocktail receptions, annual meetings, holiday parties, brand launches, networking events and VIP client events. For a plenary session, The Great Room seats 1,100 in theater layout or 590 in conference layout. The Gallery takes 400 in theater layout and 230 in conference layout, which suits a smaller program or a registration and cocktail area next door. Movable walls measuring 11 by 8 feet divide the space, so a morning session and an evening reception can use different parts of the building. The rental includes a 2 Gbps internet connection with Wi-Fi, house sound with music streaming, house lighting with standard presets, power distribution and a venue manager on site during setup and the event. A green room is available for speakers or entertainers, and a built-in coat check and front doorman handle arrivals.

Weddings and receptions The Revaire also hosts weddings, and the layout follows the usual sequence of ceremony, cocktails and dinner. The Gallery can hold a ceremony or a cocktail reception for 400 guests, or a seated dinner for 250. Guests then move into The Great Room, which seats 650 for dinner or takes 1,050 standing. Two private suites sit inside the building. The Champagne Suite is a bridal suite with natural light, lounge furniture, a mirrored vanity, two private bathrooms and a secure dressing space. The Whiskey Lounge has a wet bar, a wall-mounted TV and a private patio, and works for a wedding party or as a VIP room before a main event. The rental includes a one-hour rehearsal during the week of the wedding, depending on the event schedule.

Rooms and capacities The Gallery measures 65 by 56.5 feet (3,673 square feet) and holds 400 in theater, 230 in conference, 400 for a reception and 250 seated. The Great Room measures 67.9 by 138.4 feet (9,397 square feet) and holds 1,100 in theater, 590 in conference, 1,050 for a reception and 650 seated. The Champagne Suite and the Whiskey Lounge have private entrances and also serve as VIP meeting rooms, volunteer lounges or changing areas for hosts. Tables of several sizes, Chiavari chairs, decorative bars and votive candles are included, with no extra fee for setting up the venue's own tables, chairs and equipment.

Catering The on-site commercial kitchen is set up for A Fare Extraordinaire, the catering team that designs menus and handles presentation. The venue's services also cover licensed bartenders, hand-selected wine and liquor packages, house-made specialty cocktails and rental equipment such as glassware, china and flatware. The team works with independent event planners and day-of coordinators. A la carte food and beverage packages can be served in the private suites earlier in the day. The site does not say whether another caterer may be brought in, so confirm this when you inquire.

Getting there Cars are guided to a covered porte-cochere where two rows can be valeted at once, sheltered from sun and rain. Four 20-foot double doors lead into the foyer. Secure on-site parking is included. The address is 7122 Old Katy Road, Houston, Texas 77024.
