Owner
Eldorado Ballroom at Project Row Houses — Reception Venue, Houston, TX
Eldorado Ballroom at Project Row Houses is managed by Shelly Travis, offering a venue that comfortably fits around 160 guests with room for a dance floor. Pricing starts at $2,500 for a half-day rental, which includes venue access along with in-house tables and chairs — staffing, bartenders, and linens can be added on based on each event's specific needs.
Alcohol can be brought in for the bar, though the venue's own bartenders are required to serve and manage all consumption. The venue is a no-smoking space throughout. Outside vendors for food and decor are welcome, provided they carry a certificate of insurance and a food handler's permit — while the venue doesn't offer in-house catering, the team can connect hosts with a list of preferred vendors. A parking lot adjacent to the building holds about 100 cars, and valet service can be arranged through outside vendors on request.
Events run with a 12 AM curfew.

Saw my good friend, Kyle Turner, along with Althea Renee, and Michael Ward at the El Dorado and the show was amazing! The building was packed, but not in an uncomfortable way, and the staff was courteous and professional. I will be returning!

Based on the initial contact with the managers of the El Dorado I do not recommend anyone consider hosting an event here. The property is owned by Project Row House and managed by Lucille’s Restaurant group. …

I attended an event for a documentary (Not your average girl) it was so nice. Everyone was so professional. Location was beautiful
We were there for a Diaz jazz band concert and it.was.awesome!
The Eldorado Ballroom is one of Houston's staples. I've been able to experience this space as a DJ for a few events. The staff was beyond helpful on both occasions and accommodating to all vendors. The Sound Techs are very knowledgeable. I was excited to be apart of the event.
They have done wonders with this place. Bright clean, great staff adequate parking nice facility
This was an amazing venue for our prom. Perfect size for our small class. It had enough room to fit our tables and have an expansive dance floor. The balcony was my favorite part of the ballroom, it had a beautiful view of the Houston skyline. 10/10 experience.
This historical ballroom is absolutely amazing! I attended a jazz brunch which Was food for my soul!
The venue is beautiful and decorations were gorgeous. Our class reunion was held there. The parking was sufficient.
At first I was very skeptical when I saw the venue for our prom, but when I arrived I came to the realization that it was the perfect size for the small class that we had. Something else that I noticed is that the restrooms were nice and clean. I would recommend to take the venue if you have a small group.
My senior prom took place at El Dorado ballroom and I have to say that it was a really good experience. It was very spacious and could easily hold our class for prom. It looked really nice and was quite clean, everything from the main dance room and the restroom. I would highly recommend it for any events anyone is planning for.
Went there for 1920's style prom. Disappointed we didn't have a bartender but that's Mr. Smith's fault. The ballroom interior was very pretty and time accurate. There were also barely any vegan options, just salsa and tortilla chips, which …
I had my senior prom at this ballroom and I have to say that it was quite excellent for what it was worth. It felt spacious enough to hold around 100 or so people and it was nice to see how clean it was from the main room itself to the …
A great space for my senior prom, had lots of fun! It was the perfect size for all of us, had a nice outdoor balcony section and a cozy feel. Would recommend to smaller schools.
Nice establishment! 😊I had a great time at the Houston 2 Step 💃🏾🎶 event. The staff were nice and welcoming. 👩🏾💼 There was a cash bar and plenty of cocktails 🍸🍹 flowing. The bartenders 💁🏾♀️ were very accommodating. The food 🧑🏾🍳is not the …
Great place for prom! The lights and stage were very nice and the balcony added a nice touch. It was a little hot in there so just keep in mind if you are trying to have a lot of people in there.
Attending my senior prom at the Eldorado Ballroom was amazing! The ballroom was spacious with an open balcony. It was so fun to dance with my friends in such a nice space. Highly recommend for anyone looking to host a dance and food event.
The venue was nice and spacious but it’s definitely more adequate for a smaller crowd. My prom was here and I had a great time. The balcony and restrooms were great too!
Establishment was pretty interesting. Nice view from the balcony. The party was overall fine, mediocre at best, generic venue. Although it doesn't help that I'm not much of a party person. -J.C.
Lots of room for about 100 people, however the venue was very humid, so if AC is there then it needs to be fixed. Other than that it was a fun time (my high school held our prom here)
I had my prom here in may 2024, el dorado is a beautiful , historical venue. The ambiance is very elegant and there is a beautiful balcony that has a good view of the city. I definitely recommend this venue.
This is where my prom was located. The staff have great communication and were nice when it came to setting up. The outside looked small at first but there was much room for over 100 people.
Very nice place! It had recently been renovated, so much of the place was very chic and up to date. It has both an elevator and stairs, and even a balcony for a perfect view of the downtown skyline!
It's a great place to celebrate; retirement, Birthday or whatever occasion you want to celebrate.
I had my prom here, and if I could give 10 stars I would. Perfect location near nightlife such as Grooves and The Spot EADO. Perfect for a small yet large crowd, I definitely recommend this venue for any future plans you may have!
This venue was really nice and aesthetically pleasing. I had a nice time here and have so many nice photos of the place. I do recommend to events with a smaller guest list, so just keep that in mind. <3
Amazing place where we had our prom. Renovations were better than expected and gave the place a better look but still looked modern and felt historic to be in. Would definitely consider having other events here.
Came here for book club recently and loved the space. I think this is my new favorite place to visit in Third Ward and I can’t wait to come back soon.
The venue was really nice! With the venue all decorated, the vibes were just right to dance the night away! Having my prom here made it a night to remember!
I liked the venue but the stairs are steep and hard to walk on with heels. Also there wasn't a light on in that area so it was hard to see where you needed to step when it got darker.
This is a big dancing venue on Sunday nights. We have lessons and social dancing until around 11. The floor is usually good, the sound system works, they have a lot of artwork on the walls which I think is supposed to be people who have …
Greetings All. I have heard so many good things about this ball room and it did not disappoint. There is so much history in this particular place. When given an opportunity, I'll definitely go back. Great job!
Beautiful aesthetics, clean bathrooms, green room and outdoor patio are great for a working lunch or wine-down.
The venue was overall nice and it was clean. The balcony was a plus because it was hot in the venue but could go outside to feel the breeze.
Lovely venue with an elegant staircase and spacious balcony perfect for medium sized events. A bit warm, modern bathrooms.
Awesome space and energy for all walks of life. The RADO is amazing...Chef Jayden is amazing...the staff is very attentive and courteous to the patrons. There are always on point and handle any issue that may arise.
The venue was very spacious, lots of space for hanging out. The balcony had great photo opportunities!
I enjoyed my experience at the Eldorado ballroom; the venue met all of the quotas. I would recommend this place for any small or medium sized group.
We hosted a charity event here, and I must say everything was impeccable. The venue was spotless and the bartending service was on point.
I had an amazing time, it was the perfect size for our prom. I would recommend this place to people who want to have an event.

Place was good for our party size and we had a great prom, and pictures on the balcony as well.
I recently had my prom here and it was literally amazing !! Really good space and really pretty balcony.
the eldorado ballroom was cool. the entrance stairs were hard to walk up because i had heels on, but other than that it was fine.
Great venue for small events. I also enjoyed the balcony part of it since it was great to take pictures at.
Had my senior prom here! It was grrrrrrrrrrreat. Like the tiger who eats cereal. Good venue to host your special event.
Beautiful historic venue perfect for nearly any occasion!
The venue looks very nice on the inside and the space is clean, the only downside is it got pretty hot.
