ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Step right up and feast your eyes on this one-of-a-kind gem in the heart of our beloved city! The Revaire – built of steel, cased in glass, and dusted with gold – is a true work of art that’s sure to take your breath away.

You see, The Revaire is all about celebration – it’s right there in the name! Inspired by the word ‘revelry’ (which means party time!), we added the ‘aire’ suffix to nod to the spaciousness of the building and our sister company A Fare Extraordinaire. And let me tell you, it’s a dream come true! We searched high and low for the perfect space – something with soul, elegance, and a whole lot of history. And we hit the jackpot with this 1942 munition factory!

But don’t worry – we didn’t stop at just any old building. We’ve transformed this beauty into a modern masterpiece that’s as sophisticated as it is stylish. And when you pair that with our team of innovative, creative, and super-flexible moment makers, you’ve got a match made in heaven! We live for special events and making dreams come true.

With The Revaire, you get everything you need for your big day, all in one place. And that means less stress, less fuss, and more fun! From food and beverage to the most breathtaking backdrop you could ever imagine, we’ve got you covered.

We can’t wait to meet you and make your dreams a reality.

Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.”

You gave us the confidence to believe we could pull off this wonderful event within the budget we had and never pressured us to stretch beyond our means. That was meaningful to me as it sets a groundwork of trust, understanding, and appreciation. So thank you very much. AND – everything was perfect! I received nothing but wonderful reviews from all the guests and of course…it shows in the numbers too. So thank you, thank you, thank you! We know our event was small bones compared to some of the things you all do but it never once felt that way. You all were so professional and personal at the same time. Everything from the big picture ideas about how to make it a success down to the to-go dinners that you packed. From the bottom of our hearts – THANK YOU!

Gala Chair, Chinquapin Preparatory School

I am over-the-moon EXCITED to share that Ladies Who Brunch raised ~$803,000 – exceeding our $525,000 revenue goal by 53%. THANK YOU for all you and The Revaire team did to contribute to this success. From your flexibility with the vinyl installation to the overnight room flip, you all were so accommodating. During the event, the level of service was unparalleled, and even after, the breakdown was seamless  (I knew it would be!).

I would also like to specifically acknowledge your Event Managers for their leadership, Executive Chef Ryan for his thoughtful menu and perfect execution, and the entire team for their hard work.

Truly, I could go on and on. You all knocked it out of the park, and our donors cannot stop talking about how much they enjoyed the entire experience.

Thank you again for EVERYTHING. I cannot wait to partner with you again. Please send my hugs and gratitude to the entire team.

Events Manager, Sky High for Kids

I’m reaching out to thank you and the entire team for going above and beyond to make our event the best experience possible for our donors and guests. Your attention to detail, timeliness in responding to last-minute requests, creativity, etc. go such a long way! We are so happy to have been able to partner with you and look forward to another great event in the Fall!

Please share a special thanks with Rachael too. We truly appreciate her taking time out of her busy schedule to stop by. You guys are all rock stars!

Director of Special Programs, Baylor College of Medicine

I can’t thank all of you enough for helping to produce such a beautiful event. The lighting, the sound system, the food, and drinks were all simply wonderful! I keep receiving the comment of, “that was the best, most delicious, or tasty wedding reception food I have ever had!”

Comments about the venue were also very complimentary. Each of you provided us with excellent service which far surpassed my expectations!

Thank you all so much!

Mother of the Bride

A huge thank you and The Revaire team for showing us what you all do best – put on great events flawlessly! As I believe we told you previously, our event was held at the Hobby Center for over 20 years. We were told that our longtime supporters didn’t love change and so changing the venue this year was a big leap of faith. We couldn’t have picked a better venue and team to work with for our grand debut elsewhere.

One of these longtime supporters shared the following in an email this morning:

“Having it at The Revaire was an outstanding choice. Everything being on one level made getting around very simple. The Cocktail Reception area was great. There was more than ample room to move around and visit old friends, Having the bar in the center of the room, eliminating long lines and people waiting, to get their drinks refreshed. Also, the number of service staff made a huge difference.

The large dining area was terrific allowing more tables. Having Casa Staff members, intermittently seated among the guests, was an excellent idea. We had two at our table and everyone enjoyed visiting with them. 

We both agreed, that the chicken breast was one of the best, we’ve ever had at the gala. The Revaire staff seemed to give special attention to our table. I was really impressed.

Again, it was excellent and very enjoyable. I’m looking forward to next year!”

Thank you so much for making us look good and for all of your hard work. We raised over $230k in the room last night and over $730k for our gala overall!

Events & Communications Manager, Casa de Esperanza de los Ninos

I just wanted to thank you for another amazing event. Everything was perfect as usual. Thank you for taking such great care of us and all our customers. Your team is truly the best, especially your event manager! Please tell her Thank You from all of us. I’ll see you both next year!

Events Manager, Vallourec

I could not have been happier with the Revaire for the Gala this year. Melissa is a queen. Very rarely do you find someone with the attention to detail and drive for perfection that I desire with an event manager and she was all these things and more. She listened to all of my concerns, made all the changes, and executed those and all others with precision. Not to mention she was fun, funny, and incredibly easy. The venue is beautiful and the food is very good but for me to be able to work with a team leader that hears my needs and has a similar vision is the reason to keep coming back. I also want to note the rest of the team – your service is incredible. I have no idea how you train so many employees but they all had a singular vision and were always in communication with each other on how to execute it. I always pay attention to those things and it was really inspiring to see so many people working together to make the client happy. Congrats on creating such amazing synergy.

We will certainly be back next year and happy to continue this partnership indefinitely. If you ever have any non-profits on the fence about renting the space, send them my way and I will get them signed.

Events Manager, Galveston Bay Foundation

I cannot thank you enough for all the assistance, generosity and kindness that you hove shown me in these past two weeks. It was a complete nightmare having to re-plan a wedding in such a short time frame, but you helped to make that process as easy as possible for us. for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you for bringing our wedding day back to life.

The Revaire Bride

I love how this place can be transformed! From sophisticated Runway to Launch Party to Elegant Wedding Reception! Dark & Moody or Dramatic with Saturated color!! I can’t wait for the next event!!
