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.

10/10 Experience - A True Gem in Houston!…read more The Community Collective is easily one of the best venues I've worked with in Houston. From start to finish, the team was beyond responsive, communicative, and incredibly flexible with our needs. Every question was answered promptly, every detail was handled with care, and I truly felt like they were as invested in the success of our event as we were. It was so great the first time, we booked it again the following month! Easy to access, parking was perfect! The space itself is beautiful and versatile - perfect for anything from intimate gatherings to larger scale events. But what really sets this place apart is the management. Everything was seamless and well-executed, which made the entire planning process stress-free. Teeba, Ms. Jackie, Patrick, Jerrol and the rest of the Collective team, I am deeply appreciative of you all! If you're looking for a venue where professionalism meets hospitality, this is it! I highly recommend booking your next event here - you'll leave just as impressed and satisfied as I was!

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.

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!

They were told they could bring in their own alcohol, sodas and water. However, 4 days before the wedding they were told they couldn't bring water & sodas. The guest have to pay for them their!! The bride didn't want certain decorations, but the people said they weren't moving them!! The day of the reception it was very warm in the building and especially in the VIP room upstairs. I went outside to get my bag that had my change of clothes, phone charger, meds etc... I put 4 half drank bottles of water in my bag. When I entered the building a Hispanic woman approached me and asked me what was in my bag. I started to tell her and she grabbed my bag to look inside!! How rude!! She then said I couldn't bring in my water. I asked why. She told me I had to buy the water. I told her I wasn't buying any water when I have my own. I then took my water back to my car and returned to the building. That Gestopo woman came rushing up to me to look in my bag AGAIN!! I told her that I didn't have any water! I left it in my car. She grabbed my bag and started going through it! I told her "it's my clothes, my panties, my socks, my charger & meds!" She let go and said "It's policy." I walked off and went up stairs. I told the wedding party about her. I was so mad! Around 9:00pm several of us noticed it started getting hot inside. I thought it was me, but I saw other people fanning themselves. We all came to the conclusion that the people of the place turned up the ac. They made it so uncomfortable that people were leaving. The place was rented until 1:00am!! I left after 10:30pm. It was too hot in there for me!! Did you know that this place used to be a strip club? Sure did! LOL!! Don't rent this place out.

There was room for vendors all around the room. There was a nice sized dance floor and a huge elevated stage. Only bad thing was the parking lot was small and some of the businesses had spots blocked for their customers, rightfully so. We were able to park but had to walk as we parked near the gas station.
