Yes, an all-inclusive package can be fully customized. At Pelazzio Reception Venue in Houston, you choose your package tier, then personalize the menu, bar, linen and lighting colors, centerpieces, ceremony setup, and entertainment, and add extras like cold sparklers or a photo booth. “All-inclusive” means one team handles everything, not that every event looks the same.
The biggest myth about all-inclusive venues is that you trade creativity for convenience. Couples picture a set menu, beige linens, and a playlist chosen by someone else. In reality, a good package is a starting point, not a script. This guide walks through every way you can shape a Pelazzio package around your wedding, quinceañera, birthday, or corporate event, so you know exactly what’s flexible before your first tour.
TL;DR: What You Can Customize
- Your package tier: Paradise, Signature, Rental, or Micro Wedding, depending on how much you want included.
- Your colors: linens, overlays, chair sashes, and uplighting in your color of choice.
- Your menu: cultural, dietary, and upgraded dinner options, or your own caterer on the Rental Package.
- Your bar: premium open bar, beer and wine, or non-alcoholic, depending on package.
- Your room and guest count: four modular ballrooms from intimate events up to 550 guests.
- Your “wow” moments: add sparklers, Dancing on a Cloud, photo booths, monograms, and more.
1. Start With the Package Tier That Fits
Customization starts with choosing how much you want handled for you. Pelazzio offers four starting points:
| Package | Starting Price | Minimum | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paradise Package | $109/person | 100 guests | Couples and families who want almost everything included |
| Signature Package | $89/person | 75 guests | Full events with catering, beer and wine, DJ, and photography |
| Rental Package | $45/person | 75 guests | Hosts bringing their own caterer or more personal touches |
| Micro Wedding Package | $2,550 flat | Around 50 guests | Intimate, ceremony-focused weddings |
Prices exclude tax and service charges. Check our promotions page for current offers.
Think of the tier as your foundation. The Paradise Package includes the most, so you customize details rather than hire vendors. The Rental Package includes less but gives you the most freedom to bring in your own food and style. Most events land somewhere in between, and your Event Specialist will help you compare. For wedding-specific details, see our all-inclusive wedding packages in Houston.
2. Make the Room Your Colors
Color is where packages stop feeling “standard” and start feeling like yours. On the Paradise Package, you choose:
- Premium patterned overlays over ivory satin underlays, in your color of choice
- Chair sashes in your color
- Custom uplighting around the ballroom, set to your palette
- Fresh flower centerpieces of ivory hydrangeas and roses in your color of choice, in gold, silver, or clear vases
- A decorated head table with a fresh flower arrangement and an ivory chiffon backdrop
The Signature Package includes upgraded linens, centerpieces, and floor-to-ceiling LED uplighting in your color. The Rental Package starts with basic linens and hurricane-lamp centerpieces, and you can add uplighting for $450 or bring your own décor. Planning a corporate event? Uplighting can match your brand colors, and the red carpet entrance can show your company name in LED lights. See all styling options on our decorations page.
3. Build a Menu Around Your Guests
Food is the part of a package couples and families care about most, and it’s more flexible than most people expect.
- Cultural and dietary menus. Our in-house chefs accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and cultural menu requests. Houston guest lists are diverse, and the menu should reflect yours.
- Upgraded dinner options. Want something beyond the standard buffet? Ask about upgraded entrées and stations.
- Your favorite dishes. Recreating a family recipe or a dish from your first date? Talk it through at your planning meeting.
- Bring your own caterer. On the Rental Package, you can bring an approved outside caterer. Because of health and liability rules, Pelazzio staff can’t handle or serve outside food, so plan a self-serve setup or your own serving staff.
Many families mix approaches: Pelazzio catering for the main meal, plus a specialty vendor for one traditional dish. Learn more about our gourmet catering and bar.
4. Choose Your Bar Experience
Your package determines the bar style, so it’s an easy way to tailor both the vibe and the budget:
- Paradise Package: a 4-hour premium open bar
- Signature Package: a 4-hour beer and wine bar
- Rental Package: non-alcoholic beverage service
All alcohol is served by Pelazzio’s licensed bartenders for liability reasons. For cultural or religious traditions, such as a specific ceremonial drink or a fully dry celebration, exceptions can be discussed with your Event Specialist early in planning. A signature cocktail named after the couple or the guest of honor is a simple, inexpensive way to personalize the bar.
5. Shape the Ceremony and the Timeline
If you’re getting married at Pelazzio, the ceremony is customizable too. The Paradise Package includes a ceremony in a separate room, so guests move from “I do” to cocktail hour without a room flip. The Signature Package includes a same-room ceremony. Couples choosing the Micro Wedding Package get a decorated ceremony space with a choice of stage or canopy.
The timeline is yours as well. Your Event Specialist builds the order of events with you: grand entrance, first dance, toasts, cake cutting, a vals or surprise dance for a quinceañera, award presentations for a corporate gala, and the send-off. Events typically include 6 hours of event time, plus setup time beforehand and cleanup afterward. See our ceremony venue options for more.
6. Right-Size the Room and Guest Count
A package should fit your guest list, not the other way around. Pelazzio has four ballrooms, the Grand Ballroom and the Tuscany series, with modular walls that open or close to match your headcount, up to 550 guests. A 60-guest dinner gets a room that feels full, and a 400-guest gala gets room to dance.
Below a package minimum? Guest reduction fees let you keep the package you want without inflating your guest list: $50 per missing guest under the Paradise minimum and $30 per missing guest under the Rental minimum. Confirm current terms with your Event Specialist. Tour the spaces in our Houston ballrooms guide.
7. Add the “Wow” Moments
Once the foundation is set, add-ons let you build the moments guests film. All are booked in-house, so there’s no separate vendor to schedule:
- Ambiance uplighting: $450 (included in Paradise)
- Sparkler & Cloud Pack: cold indoor sparklers plus Dancing on a Cloud, $550
- Grand exit options: bubbles, confetti streamers, or handheld sparklers, $150 each (75 pieces)
- Photo booths: classic, 360, and Magic Mirror options
- LED robot show: a high-energy dance-floor performance, popular at quinceañeras and Sweet 16s
- Custom monograms, marquee letters, flower walls, and ice sculptures
Prices are before tax and service charge and may change. Confirm current pricing and availability. See the full menu on our additional services page.
8. Personalize for Your Event Type
Every event type has its own customization priorities:
- Weddings: your color palette, a monogram, a first-dance cloud effect, and a sparkler exit.
- Quinceañeras: a monogrammed dance floor for the vals, the LED robot, and a red carpet with her name in lights. See our quinceañera packages.
- Birthdays: a theme, a birthday chair, a photo booth, and a playlist from the guest of honor’s era. See our birthday packages.
- Corporate events: brand-color uplighting, your logo on the red carpet, and AV for awards. See our corporate event packages.
9. How Pelazzio Makes This Easy
Customizing an event usually means managing a stack of vendors. At Pelazzio, one Certified Event Specialist coordinates every choice, from your linen color to your sparkler exit, and our in-house team sets it all up on the day.
- One planning partner: your Event Specialist walks you through options at a dedicated décor and menu meeting, typically 6–8 weeks before your event.
- Bring personal touches: family photos, heirlooms, and custom signage are welcome, within venue guidelines.
- Bilingual planning: plan in English or Spanish, so the whole family can weigh in.
- Easy for guests: ground-floor ballrooms and 800 free on-site parking spaces.
- Experience since 1999: we’ve hosted thousands of Houston weddings, quinceañeras, birthdays, and corporate events at 12121 Westheimer Rd, Suite 127.
