Get Directions

Where to Stay

Hotels and zip codes

There are a lot of choices for places to stay in Houston. Here are some suggestions that are close to the venue but also take advantage of the city.

Magnolia Hotel Logo

Magnolia Hotel Downtown

6 miles, 15 mins from venue

This is a nice hotel in the heart of downtown Houston. It's only a block or two off of main street where a lot of the activity is. Downtown is full of restaurants, bars, parks, and even some underground tunnels connecting it all.

Aloft hotels logo

Aloft Hotel Galleria

8 miles, 15 mins from venue

This one is a pretty cool loft style hotel in the Galleria area. The Galleria area has a ton of shopping and restaurants around.

AirBnB in The Heights

0 - 4 miles, 3 - 10 mins from venue

The Heights is a great neighborhood to stay in. Not only is it the same neighborhood as the venue but there is plenty to do and you have the added benefit of skipping the majority of Houston traffic.

About us

It all started in 2008 ... sort of

We met for the first time in 2008 when Matt and Stephen (Laura's brother) were on a video call. Laura, Philip, and Stephen lived together in Lafayette.

Back then, Laura was the cute, off-limits sister of Matt's best friend, Stephen. It wasn't until 2019 when we realized that things might be... on-limits, as they say.

Fast-forward to May 2019 at Festival International in Lafayette. We knew something was up then and we have been together ever since.

Now our dogs are brothers and we're getting married!
