The bar set up inside could've been bigger but you can set up additional bars in the back of the room. The outside was L-shaped and a little small, but good enough for 2 food vendors and a bar. The area looked shady but we had ample security with the venue. Parking was limited, so I took a share ride. I would recommend this for a reception or other gathering for 200 or less people.

My girlfriend and I went to the Harry Potter Yule Ball at this venue…read more It was our first time here so we were blown away. The Harry Potter-ness was great but the venue on its own is so nice. Classic castle vibes. So many amazing photo locations. We will definitely consider this place whenever we decide to tie the knot one day. Would love to put our own twist on decorations such a unique place you would never suspect is in west Houston between Westheimer and Richmond Ave.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PHOTOS HERE…read more The owner himself said that he DID NOT CARE that I write a negative review so here it is :) Our experience with this venue was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. We booked Paraiso Maravilla for a quinceañera photoshoot, and the male venue owner, Soahail, was extremely rude, and unprofessional. We were specifically told that someone would be waiting at the door to greet us and escort us to our suite to get dressed 20 mins ahead of our scheduled session. When we arrived, no one was there. Another family was still taking photos, so we had to go upstairs ourselves to find Soahail and ask whether we could access the suite. Because of this, we started our 1 hour session approximately 15 minutes late. During the final portion of our scheduled time, Soahail began following us around and repeatedly monitoring us. With approximately 10 minutes remaining in our paid session, another family entered and occupied the area where we needed to take our final photos. Rather than allowing us to finish the session we had paid for especially considering that we had already lost 15 minutes due to the delayed start he told us that our time was over and that we needed to leave. When we tried to take one final pose, he became extremely angry and confrontational and kicked us out, he literally chased us out. We were rushed and disrespected. The entire experience turned sour and took away from what should have been a special quinceañera photoshoot. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this venue for photoshoots. He told us he was "losing money" by allowing us to stay just five extra minutes. As a paying customer, I found that extremely rude. A little kindness and flexibility could have completely changed this review. Instead, we were rushed out and left feeling like our business wasn't valued. If he's worried about losing money, he should consider how treating customers this way may ultimately cause him to lose business.

I still cannot believe we had the privilege of getting married here! The Parador is a quaint venue…read moretucked away in the heart of the Museum District. With its beautiful gardens and 1920s architectural charm, it combines a vintage feel with a luxurious look. Guests continue to reach out about how much they loved the look and vibes of the venue. It really gives old money vibes without the need for an old money budget. Becky and the Parador staff are wonderful to work with. They are supremely attentive, and worked with us to find a budget and date that worked for us. I can't thank them enough for their flexibility and kindness towards us during a time that can be quite stressful. They also didn't hesitate to attend to our every need the day of the wedding. I truly can't thank them enough.

This is the venue my daughter and our new son-in-law chose for their wedding and it was beautiful! They worked very well with us from arranging time for the couple to practice their dance, helping find things within the venue to add some added touches and also giving us added time (at a fee but still was very nice of them given the late decision) to prepare the decor. Loved it! So glad they had it here and I know they would do it again! Any thanks to Dasha and Alberto on the big day and Kristen for being so willing to help.

I've been to several events here, all of which were related to the Touchdown Club of Houston. The…read morevenue itself is roomy and comfortable with easy restroom access and good parking. The staff is mostly good at what they do. What I don't like is that every time I have been here, they've had all but one or two gates to the facility closed. There might be a good reason for that, but I can't figure it out.

I previously went to Lam Bo Buffet many years ago when I used to live in this area, and I…read morepreviously never liked them because of the mediocre foods. However, I came to their Lam Bo Ballroom for a wedding reception dinner recently, with slightly higher expectations on their quality here than their buffet. The ballroom is located in a separate building from the buffet, deeper into their parking lot, towards the back. The exterior of the ballroom was not bad, and the interior was spacious and nice looking. I had expected their wedding foods to be much higher quality than their regular buffet, but they were absolutely a disaster. These were pretty much the worst Asian wedding foods I've ever had. There were 7 dishes in total: crab and asparagus soup, shrimp paste crab claw, seafood and veggies taro bird's nest, peking duck, steak and asparagus, stuffed salmon, and fried rice. Most of the foods were bland and flavorless. The crab and asparagus soup did not have much flavors, and adding soy sauce and pepper only made it tolerable. The shrimp paste crab claw was also super bland and unappetizing. The seafood and veggies taro bird's nest was also pretty bland but not bad, and the taro bird's nest part of it did not get soggy. The peking duck came with buns and was one of the better dishes out of them all, but it was still not great. The steak was flavorless, dry, and tough. The stuffed salmon was bland, mushy, and fishy. Last but not least, the fried rice was pretty flavorless and unappetizing. I would've given this a 2 out of 5 rating overall because ballroom at least looked nice despite the terrible foods and mediocre service. However, many of the guests had terrible food poisoning after this dinner, including my boyfriend and me. It was an absolute disaster, so I really couldn't give this experience anything higher than a 1 out of 5.

It's staggering how different the reviews are for Lam Bo's ballroom versus their buffet. The…read moresentiment I've been seeing is that their ballroom venue is great for events while their restaurant food is terrible, and I must agree. The ballroom is very nice. I went to a wedding here and it was a pretty and spacious venue. It was also a lot cheaper than other venues we looked at. This is probably the tradeoff for the food though. The seafood dishes they served were bland, and the steak was a tough, cheap cut. Worst of all, I caught a severe case of food poisoning along with the groom and his parents. A few other guests I heard back from also caught a mild case. If I was rating based on the venue alone, I might have given 5 stars, but the food served led to such a miserable experience that nearly put me in the emergency room.

Parking was across the street near the golf course. We also had food catered by the facility. We enjoyed a delicious brunch of eggs, potatoes, waffles, bacon, chicken wings, shrimp and grits and crab cakes. The servers were fast and the line moved without issue. I definitely recommend this facility for an event.

Late review, but I wanted to extend my gratitude to Crystal Alexander... she was so knowledgeable…read morein every way and even gave me outside vendors recommendations that I ended up using for not only a few decor that I needed but also as my Wedding Coordinator (Asha with Monarch Events) - I highly recommend Asha and her crew (which is family) to host, decorate, for everything, she finds a way to make the price work and i loved that, Thank you Asha!!!. She was awesome! How to reach her just contact Crystal and she has her information. I had my ceremony and the reception at the venue and it was absolutely perfect i was able to dress at the venue without the hustle and bustle and so did my hubby in the grooms room. Making payment was easy and everything is laid out so you know what you can and cannot afford upfront. I call this place a hidden gem, tucked away in the middle of a gold course neighborhood. I didn't really want to share this place lol but figured hopefully a lovely couple can enjoy the beauty and professionalism of this venue and the people that work there. The food was very good My guest are still raving about the overflowing of drinks, the decor, the venue, the music, everything Everyone had a great time and it was all i truly wanted. Parking was nice and easy Lovely place Also, my video is now featured on their website just in case you're curious. God bless your union
