FAQ's

What is your capacity at The Social Space?

Our expansive warehouse interior can host up to 550 guests for a seated dinner, or 700 for a standing/cocktail event. Our courtyard space is included in all rentals and can hold up to 400 guests.

What is your vendor policy?

Aside from our bar service, The Social Space has an open vendor policy and welcomes any licensed, insured, professional vendors into our space. We are also happy to assist with vendor recommendations as needed as we have several wonderful local vendors in all areas of expertise who have experience in our venue.

Do you rent pieces of the venue separately?

When you book The Social Space for your special event, you have access to all areas of the venue. The warehouse, courtyard, dressing suites, kitchen and parking lot come standard in all rentals. This ensures you are able to utilize any and all spaces that you need. Renting the venue in its entirety also guarantees that you always have a contingency plan in case Texas weather does not cooperate with any outdoor event plans.

Does The Social Space set up my event for me?

Our team will have the room, or courtyard, ready for you to decorate when you arrive. All included furnishings will be preset before your contract starts, allowing you and your vendor team immediate access to start setting decor to personalize your special day. We work with you to customize your floor plan to fit the flow of your event perfectly!

How long can we reserve the space?

Most of our venue rentals range from 8-13 hours, but each contract is written specifically to your needs. Weeknight rentals have a 4-hour minimum and our standard weekend packages start at 10 hours. All time frames do include set-up and clean-up as well as actual event time.

Where do our guests park?

The Social Space has a dedicated parking lot directly adjacent to the building. Whether your guests are self-parking or you opt for valet service, the lot is easily accessible and monitored by security for the duration of your event.
 
Thanks to some of our amazing Near Southside neighboring businesses, we have access to three additional parking lots, doubling our off-street parking capacity. A full parking map can be found on the following page for all event hosts to share with their guests as they see fit.

Do you allow glass?

Yes, glassware is allowed for dining purposes.

Do you allow candles?

Yes, the usage of real candles is allowed, but only in votives or fireproof containers taller than the flame.

Can I have a food truck?

Yes, we love food trucks! They are welcome to set-up inside of our courtyard for an outdoor guest experience, or directly outside of the venue entrance if you want to utilize their service for an indoor event.

Can I provide my own alcohol?

Our exclusive bar service company has BYOB offerings amongst the variety of packages that they have curated specific to Social Space clients.

 

Do you offer a payment plan?

Our classic payment plan is 50% at signing of contract and 2 follow-up payments of 25% each. If needed, we can break payments into smaller amounts upon request. All balances must be paid in full no less than 30 days prior to the event date. Please contact us to discuss payment options.

 

Who can I contact during our rental period?

A venue liaison will be on site for all events, including your set-up and clean-up time. This liaison is your point of contact for all facilities related items and can answer any questions you may have while on site.

"The Social Space was the perfect spot for my sorority’s formal! They were very accommodating and I loved having a separate private suite area to get ready and relax in. The venue room is very spacious, so provides many opportunities for creativity! There was a great outdoor part as well with cute lights that I wish my event took use of."
