Majestic Metro

I am very torn on this venue. It is really unique and different, which we really wanted, and I ended up loving my wedding, but be prepared to do A LOT of work yourself and be very frustrated. It can look gorgeous and be very fun with the right decorations, but the management is not the best. They do not have a computer so you can forget email. They close by 3pm so it is very hard to get in to see the place. The only thing included in the venue rental is the space, tables, chairs, and a DJ that you won't even be able to talk to until 30mins before the wedding (I wrote a very detailed list of the music I wanted and burned everything in order on a CD and they still played the wrong song for our entrance and it took them 3 tries to get the last song right). They claim that you can bring in any vendors that you want, but will give you a very hard time (snide remarks, jumping through hoops for approval) if you go with anyone other than the people they recommend. You will also be charged seperatly for use of the screen (one of the main selling points) microphones, etc. So basically if you want a smooth easy wedding, go elsewhere, but if you want something different and are willing to put in a lot of work and know that things will be messed up, go for it.

This venue MADE my reception. It was so much fun! Louis was so easy to work with because he's been doing events at the Majestic Metro for years and years. You get a DJ with the package, and don't need to spend a lot on decorations since the venue is so beautiful on its own. Also, he has INCREDIBLE lights set up. So the value is GREAT for what you pay. He is not available via e-mail, so you have to call to get a hold of him. This never created any problems for me except that I had to call him during my work hours. However, he is great at responding QUICKLY even if you leave a voice mail. The dance floor is a stage with two levels, which is GORGEOUS and dramatic. However, it may be intimidating for some guests. I LOVED it, but it's just something to consider based on the personalities of the people you invite. Louis made everything EASY. He let us drop off decorations the day before, he made sure all my vendors were in place, he followed up with me multiple times to make sure everything was OK. He put our names on the marquee, and did so much more. I HIGHLY recommend this venue if it suits your personality. Our guests LOVED it and had such a great time.

This place is great if you want something a little different, however, it does take a lot of decor to dress it up and that adds some expense, bit its nothing compared to how much you would spend at a hotel. The final outcome at my wedding was beyond amazing and I got a ton of compliments. The DJ was really good and came with the venue and you can choose your own caterer and get wholesale alcohol. I used everyone the Majestic Metro recommended (TJ's catering, artisan cakes, madola's liquor) and was beyond impressed. I only wish I had rented the place for 5 hours instead of 4.

When my husband and I first walked into the place, we were absolutely amazed and when we both stood on the stage looking out at this historic theatre, we knew that we found our place!Louis, the owner, is a straight up business guy, no email really, likes to do business and answer questions in person or over the phone (very old school like), but he gets the job done. Unfortunately, for us, he was not managing the actual event at night and wished he would have because he probably would have been more on the ball then the other coordinator that was there. Other than that, we had a fabulous wedding, everything ran smoothly. The only thing I would suggest, is that if you are having a buffet dinner with more than 150 people, to do a set up that allows two lines instead of one. Our only hang up that night was that the line was slow during dinner, which delayed our timeline for the rest of the night. Overall, if you are looking for a unique one of kind venue that won't break your bank account-this is the place.

This place is PERFECT & there's nothing else like it in all of Houston. If you're looking for a unique venue with lots of personality the Majestic Metro is it!

The Majestic Metro is an old movie theatre on Preston & Main in downtown Houston. We fell in love with it immediately, and that night everyone could not get over how great it was. There are so many special touches and an old school charm!

PERFECT - enough said :)

AWESOME. Everything was just perfect.

This place was one of my favorites eventhough we chose another venue. Very unique, timeless & classic.

Absolutely perfect.

The Majestic Metro is a highly unique, historical venue available for weddings and private parties. Our October wedding went flawlessly in the care of the Manager, Mr. Louis DeRose.Both native Houstonians, my husband and I wanted our wedding to represent us and the city we grew up in. The Majestic Metro has bounds of historical significance in Houston and has been beautifully restored. This 1930s building has updated lights, sound and fixtures that rival any other venue in town.The price is what sold us on the Metro. Comparatively, it is the best deal in town and they include more ancillary services than any other venue. Highly recommended,Jen and Matt Harold

The bartender was great, i just really hated how the office was. I paid everything on time and even early,i even went to the office to pay for it. After my wedding i kept gettin phone calls and letters in the mail stating that i still needed to pay them. I talked to them twice, it should had not taken 2 times the get the matter straightened out. Seems no one thier can keep very good records. I would just keep on top of them to make sure they right down your payment. other than that everything was great.
