Reunion Venue in Houston
A Private Space for Family and Class Reunions

Up Above Venue is a private Houston event space near Hobby Airport for family and class reunions of up to 99 guests. Your rental includes the details that usually fall on the committee: tables, linens, a big screen and sound system, day-of coordination, security, and cleanup. Our BYOB policy and outside-food option keep costs in your control, so you can focus on getting everyone there.

Honoring Those Who’ve Passed
Many reunions set aside a moment to remember family members or classmates who are no longer with us. A memorial table in the atrium or a short “In Memoriam” slideshow on the big screen is a meaningful way to include them in the day.
