We were looking for an affordable venue somewhere central in Houston for our wedding, and we ran…read moreacross the Heights Fire Station. It's a beautiful historic building located in the Heights, and it's a quirky space, with the old truck bays downstairs and a more conventional event space upstairs. The Good: Lovely historic building. Decent parking. Central location. The Bad: Difficult Management. Management is available only on Saturdays from 9-10am. No other times - if you need to measure, plan, or tour the venue, that's when you've got to be there. No rehearsal times are possible, unless you rent the venue again. Management seemed put off after our second visit - we wouldn't have had to come back if their hours were not so brief! Questionable Business Practices. We meticulously cleaned the venue after our event, yet $60 was withheld from our deposit, without explanation. After calling them, the excuse we were given was that there was "water on the floor, probably from someone dragging a garbage can." That costs $60 to fix? All in all, it's a pretty place and inexpensive, but the fact that the lady running the operation is so difficult to work with makes it impossible to recommend the venue.

This is a beautiful venue perfect for small outdoor weddings! I attended a wedding here last night…read moreand it was a beautiful event! However as a guest, there are a couple things I want to point out... First, the ceremony setup. The bride and groom were positioned a couple steps DOWN from the majority of the rows of chairs, meaning if you were in row 4 or beyond, you couldn't see anything. I was in the second to last row and could hardly see anything. My friends in the row behind me (the last row) couldn't see anything. It was just an awkward setup for the guests. The biggest downfall of this place was their lack of restrooms. They have TWO for the entire venue... while I, myself, don't drink alcohol anymore, I'm fully aware of how it creates a constant need for use of the restroom. Many of the guests were enjoying their beers and glasses of wine, so this created long lines at the restrooms. Lastly, the gravel in the front half of the venue was a nightmare for all of us ladies in heels. My strapping stilettos were constantly getting small pebbles up under my toes and it was super uncomfortable. The dance floor and seated area for dinner, however, had turf, which was MUCH more pleasant to walk on. I wish they had this all over the venue grounds instead. Overall, the setup was nice as they had one area for the ceremony, another for cocktail hour, another for dinner/dancing and a small indoor area where the Photo Booth was set up. Additionally, the bridal suite (which I didn't actually see for myself) was upstairs, which gave the bride a birds eye view of the guests as they arrived. Pretty cool! I think a few small adjustments would make this place a five star experience for everyone involved!

Be sure to be careful walking in as the floor is made of loose gravel. Although the venue is beautiful, the summer heat can be brutal. There is not much room for everyone to come into the air conditioned room. Overall, beautiful venue and would recommend it during the cooler months!

I cannot recommend Hope and Rev's Event Center enough! We recently hosted my son's graduation party…read morehere, and they completely exceeded my expectations. I can be a bit much, but Hope knew this and she was incredibly accommodating and handled my over the top vision with so much care. What really brought it all to the most memorable moment and perfect close was Hope being led by the Holy Spirit to pray for my baby. The decor was absolutely stunning, and perfectly matching our vision. DJ Jace constantly checked on us to ensure the music setup went on without a hitch. After dinner, he transitioned from soft R&B to the high-energy line dancing that had the graduates and others moving to the beat. Thank you to Hope and Rev's Event Center for making this milestone so memorable. If you are looking for a venue that will go above and beyond to make your special day flawless, look no further!

Today (2/1) was the day and everyone had a blast and the honoree was surprised! The venue was perfect suited for our needs and exceeded our expectations! I recommend this proprietor and her establishment a hundred times over!!

Bingo is $15 and cash only, and you're free to bring your own food and drinks as long as they're not items the lodge sells. The crowd is younger and much livelier than the stereotypical bingo scene. Doors open at 5:30, and getting there early really matters if you want a good seat because it fills up fast. You can even reserve tables for birthdays or group events. They also sell mini cakes, popcorn, and daubers.

I highly recommend gathering your group for a Thursday Bingo Night here, so much fun!!! They have an efficient system in place, and it is $15 (cash only) for a packet of bingo cards for a chance to win the big bucks for each round. I recommend getting there early when doors open at 5:30 PM, to save your table(s), especially if you have a large group, since it fills up quickly (including parking lot) because it's the place to be on a Thursday night. Their kitchen is currently closed, so you're allowed to bring your own food, which is fine. They do have concessions and a mini bar with sodas, water, beer, and seltzers too. My team already wants to go back, so we've started a bingo night tradition because of SPJST!

Sure, there are a couple really good artists that display, and sell, their art there, but the real genius to this place is the "Melrose Place" vibe you get. First, there are several people living there. They are supposed to be artists but are really just young, desperate girls, living cheaply. One is a Cam Girl for people with food fetishes. One reads cards and makes oils. Finally, one is supposed to be a photographer but I never saw a camera, just a bed in her small space. She was always quite moody, with an obnoxious voice, and many times would yell out to turn the lights off because she was sleeping....at 9am. The Management, Hans specifically, is a little shady in my opinion. They will vote people "off the island" if you disagree with them. Irina is nice enough but gets strong-armed by Hans. They have a contingent of non-Americans that do their best to keep things clean. The A/C doesn't cool and the kitchen smell like mold and sweaty corn-hole. The bathrooms are ok, especially if you are ok with pubes from the "shower" restroom. Ewwww The hair stylist, tattoo artist and toddler toy maker are all really great gals, with legitimate businesses. The rest are funny, and keep the drama level high. The property is definitely 420 friendly!
