Stunning venue with character

Would highly recommend the Cohen House as a wedding venue! This venue made all of the difference when it came to the overall success of our wedding. Not only is all food and beverage done through Cohen House, Susanna is the event coordinator and she is extremely helpful and is there every step of the planning process. The food was fantastic, our guests were all so impressed by the quality of both dinner and dessert options! The Cohen House itself is beautiful. The main event space has gorgeous floor to ceiling windows to view the courtyard that looks amazing both during the day and at night with a giant tree strung in twinkle lights. I felt like we didn’t have to worry too much about having a lot of decorations or huge flower installations because of how stunning the venue was.

School Gala

We have held our school gala at the Cohen House for many years--they do a great job with everything. Dedicated staff, delicious food (Susana is the Executive Chef), and a beautiful space.

Experience with Cohen House at Rice

I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding on 2/10/24 at Cohen House. Working with Susana, the venue coordinator made for a seamless experience leading up to the wedding. She was prompt, professional, and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, the Cohen catering team blew me away with how attentive, efficient and kind everyone was. Micaela and Maria were the dream team that night! The couple was blown away by the service as well.
