From booking your date to the details of your big day — here are answers to the questions we hear most often from the families who celebrate with us in Tomball, Texas.
Tours are available Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 6:30 PM, and by appointment on Saturdays and Sundays. Call us at (713) 575-7031 or email carrilloeventshtx@gmail.com to schedule your complimentary tour. We recommend booking a week or two in advance — weekend appointments fill fastest.
Our all-inclusive Rustic package is designed so you can celebrate without juggling a dozen vendors. It includes:
A $1,000 non-refundable deposit reserves your date. After the deposit, the remaining balance is split into $1,000 monthly payments at 0% interest — so you can plan and budget without a large upfront cost. Final payment is due 30 days before your event.
For weddings and quinceañeras, most families book 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for Saturday evenings. We’re currently booking into 2026, 2027, and 2028. For smaller events and weekday bookings, shorter lead times are often possible — call to check specific dates.
The initial $1,000 reservation deposit is non-refundable, as it secures your date and removes it from availability for other families. Payment-plan installments made after the deposit follow the terms in your signed contract.
Life happens — we’ll always try to work with you. Date changes are considered on a case-by-case basis depending on availability and how close the request is to your original event date. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are spelled out in your contract.
We are currently booking weekend dates for 2026 and 2027. Saturdays book fastest — Fridays and Sundays typically have wider availability. Call (713) 575-7031 for a real-time availability check on your preferred date.
Yes — J&A Grand Venue is a BYOB (bring your own beverage) venue. You supply the alcohol your family wants, and our TABC-certified bartender serves your guests. We provide cups, ice, and a cooler as part of the package. Because you’re supplying your own, you also skip the per-drink mark-up most venues charge.
Yes. A TABC-certified bartender is included in your package and handles service throughout your event. Additional bartenders can be added for larger guest counts — ask your Experience Consultant.
Yes. Catering is provided through our preferred partner, Habaneros Grill. The standard menu includes a chicken entrée, two sides, salad, and water and sweet tea, served with chinaware and silverware. Menu upgrades (beef, seafood, additional entrées) are available. Because our kitchen is a serving kitchen — not a prep kitchen — all food is prepared off-site and finished on-site by Habaneros.
Our all-inclusive package is built around our preferred caterer, but we understand some families have specific cultural or dietary preferences. Outside caterers may be considered on a case-by-case basis — they must be licensed and insured, and additional fees may apply to replace the catering portion of the package.
Yes. Your package includes a buttercream tiered cake from Supreme Kakes, plus a design appointment so you can personalize the look, along with serving plates and forks. Additional tiers, fondant, or custom flavors may be available at an upgrade cost.
Yes — your package includes a DJ with 7 hours of event coverage, an MC for announcements, and event lighting. You’ll share your music preferences and any must-play or do-not-play songs during planning. If you’d prefer a live band or a specific DJ, talk to your Experience Consultant about substitution options.
Yes. Our team and vendors handle all setup and teardown — tables, chairs, linens, centerpieces, décor, and cleanup are included. You and your family arrive at a fully prepared venue and leave without lifting a finger at the end of the night.
J&A Grand Venue comfortably hosts up to 350 guests, and is just as well-suited to more intimate gatherings. Exact capacity depends on your layout — seated dinner, cocktail reception, ceremony plus reception, etc. Your Experience Consultant will help design a floor plan that fits your guest count and flow.
Venue access begins at 10:00 AM on your event day, giving you and your family plenty of time for setup, hair and makeup, dress preparation, and photos before guests arrive.
Events typically conclude by 1:00 AM, with teardown following. Late-night extensions may be available for an additional fee.
Yes. On-site parking is available, and parking attendants are included in your package to help your guests find spaces quickly and safely. Overflow and ADA-accessible spots are available.
Yes. J&A Grand Venue features ADA-compliant restrooms and accessible entry to the ballroom, reception area, and courtyard. Let us know in advance if any of your guests have specific mobility needs so we can plan seating and pathways accordingly.
Yes — we offer a private changing suite designed as a comfortable space to refresh, prepare, and take photos before the celebration begins. It’s included with your venue package.
Yes. Our grand fountain courtyard is a favorite spot for under-the-stars ceremonies and cocktail hours. The open-air courtyard is centered around a graceful water fountain and rustic entry doors. Weather backup is handled indoors in our ballroom — we’ll coordinate the call with you if Texas weather has other plans.
J&A Grand Venue is located at 18905 Hamish Rd, Tomball, TX 77377 — just off Highway 99/249, about 30 minutes northwest of downtown Houston. We’re a hidden escape that still feels convenient for out-of-town guests.
J&A Grand Venue is a versatile space built for weddings, quinceañeras, birthday celebrations, corporate events, and private gatherings. Our rustic-elegant setting adapts beautifully to both traditional and modern celebrations.
Personal touches are welcome — family heirlooms, photos, custom signage, and cultural elements help make your event uniquely yours. A few standard restrictions apply:
For everyone’s safety, open-flame candles are not permitted. Enclosed candles (hurricane lamps, votives inside glass) and LED candles are welcome and create the same warm ambiance.
Sparkler send-offs are a beautiful way to cap the night and are permitted in designated outdoor areas with your coordinator’s guidance. Other send-off options — flower petals, ribbon wands, bubbles, or LED wands — are also popular and make for stunning photos.
Children are warmly welcomed at J&A Grand Venue — many of our celebrations are multigenerational family events. Service animals are always permitted. For non-service pets (e.g., a pup in the wedding party), please let us know in advance so we can coordinate a plan.
J&A Grand Venue is a non-smoking facility. Designated outdoor smoking areas are available away from the main entrance and courtyard.
For larger events such as weddings and quinceañeras, we recommend event liability insurance but do not require it to host your event.
Our team loves talking through the details that make your celebration yours. Call, email, or book a tour — whichever works for you.
