The Sunset Coffee Building is located at 1019 Commerce Street, Houston, TX at the intersection of Main Street and Buffalo Bayou next to Allen’s Landing, the “Plymouth Rock” of the City of Houston. Built in 1910, the Sunset Coffee Building was originally a coffee roasting company. In the late 60’s it was home to the Love Street Light Circus, a psychedelic music club featuring many local bands. In 2003, the building was purchased by Buffalo Bayou Partnership (BBP) as part of the organization’s master plan to revitalize Buffalo Bayou. The Sunset Coffee Building offers three rentable spaces for special events. The Rooftop Terrace looks out over the intersection of Buffalo and White Oak Bayous, the original site of the Port of Houston.

I had my wedding in the indoor cafe area on June 14,24. Rebecca was very helpful and always ready to help. She remained available at all time to us and She provided recommendations to help ease the work load when vendor shopping, helped during the event and even after during clean up time. We really enjoyed our wedding celebration at Sunset coffee and the view from the rooftop was a great setting for sunset photos with our photographer. I highly recommend booking for events at this location.

We got married at Le Tesserae on 5/4/24 and it was the most magical night of our lives! Their entire team was so helpful and knowledgeable, and made the venue selection process a no-brainer. We were the first wedding here, and even as it was quite literally being built, we never got super stressed or discouraged, thanks to their professionalism and communication. Courtney and Joe were SO INCREDIBLE to work with! In addition to their amazing staff, Le Tesserae also had everything I was looking for in a venue – beautiful décor, an indoor/outdoor space, a pretty and spacious bridal suite, great food and an amazing view of the city. It truly checked every box. From the moment you step off the elevator and see the chandeliers and mosaic tile, you gasp and are awestruck by the beauty and charm of the venue. After signing our paperwork with the venue, they shared a list of recommended vendors with us, everything from music, dance floors, photography, videography, etc., and I can’t tell you how helpful that ended up being. It’s because of Le Tesserae that we were able to then secure the rest of our Dream Team! We (us and our guests) are still on a high from the magic of our wedding day and night. I would 100% recommend this venue if you’re looking for something new and modern while also being classy and timeless. Everything was perfect!

I was originally planning for an outdoor wedding at the Event lawn. However, we had to make the last minute call to move it indoors the night before due to the expected rain the next day. I was initially disappointed but now I am so happy that we made that decision for our guests’ comfort. Carol and her team pulled through and had everything set up beautifully in the classrooms. ESPECIALLY adding the drapes on the ceiling which elevated the whole room. Luckily, we finished the ceremony early and was able to arrange our lion dancers to meet us out in the court yard lawn before the rain. I was able to get my favorite photo of all our guests with us and the lion dancers. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the space and said how beautiful that this piece of nature exists right in the Houston city limits THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

As a wedding planner and designer, I go crazy for easily customizable spaces that are naturally beautiful even without decorations. That is ABSOLUTELY Ronin Harrisburg! Every corner of the spaces makes for a perfect photo backdrop with or without adding floral, candles, or other decor. The venue team is so easy to work with, and unlike many other venues we've worked in, they ALWAYS respond and answer questions in a friendly, timely fashion. Their LED ceiling lights are so cool and really set the mood for each portion of your wedding day, since they allow you to have the colors changed throughout your event. It really is a perfect, quiet city location (that actually has on-site parking) for the modern-day classy couple!
