About Us
Parador is one of the most historical and elegant event venues in all of Houston. Built in the 1920’s, this beautiful wedding hall and rose garden has been one of the most renowned and celebrated event spaces in Houston for the last century. Now, under new ownership and following recent refurbishments, the Parador is welcoming a new generation of Brides, Grooms, and Events Coordinators looking to celebrate their special day in a venue as charming as ours.
