A Flexible Downtown Waco Event Space: Why Choose The Sunroom & Moonlight Court?
Planning an event should feel exciting—not like you’ve accidentally taken on a second full-time job.
At The Sunroom & Moonlight Court Event Space, we believe your celebration should reflect your style, your priorities, and your budget. Located at 214 S. 11th Street in downtown Waco, Texas, our two distinct event spaces give you the flexibility to create anything from a laid-back birthday brunch to a beautiful micro-wedding, business gathering, baby shower, or large celebration.
One of the biggest advantages? We do not require you to choose from a preferred vendor list.
You’re free to bring in the caterer, photographer, florist, planner, rentals, entertainment, and other event professionals that work best for you.
Two Unique Event Spaces in One Downtown Waco Location
Every event has its own personality. That’s why The Sunroom and Moonlight Court offer two very different atmospheres under one roof.
The Sunroom: Bright, Open, and Filled With Natural Light
The Sunroom is our bright and airy event space, featuring oversized windows, white walls, exposed brick, and concrete floors. The natural light and neutral surroundings give you a beautiful starting point without forcing you into one specific theme or color palette.
You can keep the room simple and minimal, fill it with florals and color, create an elegant dinner setup, or transform it for a branded corporate event. Because the space is already naturally photo-friendly, it also makes a beautiful backdrop for event photography, content creation, product launches, and styled gatherings.
The Sunroom works especially well for:
Baby and bridal showers
Birthday and graduation parties
Micro-weddings and intimate receptions
Rehearsal dinners
Baylor University events
Workshops and conferences
Brand launches and networking events
Photography and video sessions
Community gatherings and pop-up events
Moonlight Court: Warm, Intimate, and Full of Character
Moonlight Court offers a warmer, more intimate setting with exposed brick, rich character, and access to a private courtyard and patio area.
The combination of indoor and outdoor space creates a relaxed flow for guests. You might host dinner or activities inside, place additional seating in the courtyard, or allow guests to move between both areas throughout the event.
Moonlight Court is a great option for cocktail-style gatherings, intimate dinners, rehearsal celebrations, showers, birthday parties, workshops, networking events, and small weddings.
The courtyard is included when you reserve Moonlight Court, giving you more room to personalize the guest experience without needing to secure a separate outdoor location.
Rent One Space—or Use Both
Sometimes one atmosphere is exactly what you need. Other events benefit from having a little more room to spread out.
The Sunroom and Moonlight Court can be reserved individually or rented together. Booking both spaces gives you the freedom to create separate areas for different parts of your event.
For example, you could use:
The Sunroom for the ceremony and Moonlight Court for the reception
One room for dining and the other for dancing
The courtyard for cocktails and the indoor spaces for dinner
One space for a conference and the other for breakout sessions
Separate areas for vendors, activities, photography, or quieter conversations
Having two distinct spaces at one downtown Waco address makes it easier to create a dynamic event without asking guests to travel between locations.
No Required Vendor List Means More Freedom
Many event venues require clients to select from an exclusive or preferred vendor list. While those vendors may be wonderful, a required list can limit your choices and make it harder to stay within your budget.
At The Sunroom & Moonlight Court, outside food, vendors, and rentals are welcome.
That means you can choose:
A favorite local restaurant
A family member’s trusted caterer
Your preferred photographer or videographer
A florist whose style fits your vision
A planner you already know and trust
Rentals that match your theme and budget
A dessert maker, mobile bar, entertainer, or creative vendor you discovered yourself
You can also bring in different vendors at different price points. This gives you more control over where you spend, where you save, and which parts of the event matter most to you.
Already have a photographer you love? Bring them.
Want food from your favorite Waco restaurant? That’s welcome.
Prefer to decorate the space yourself with help from friends and family? You can do that too.
We’re here to provide a beautiful, flexible setting—not to take over your vendor decisions.
A Space That Can Fit Your Style and Budget
A flexible vendor policy can make a big difference in your total event cost.
Instead of being locked into a catering package or a particular rental company, you can compare options and build an event budget that makes sense for you. Some clients choose full-service planning and professional vendors for every detail. Others handle parts of the event themselves or bring in food from a favorite local business.
Neither approach is the “right” way to celebrate. The right choice is the one that fits your priorities.
Tables, chairs, organic lounge seating, and select props are available with venue rentals, which can also reduce the number of items you need to source separately.
Simple, Straightforward Event Booking
We try to keep the booking process clear so you can plan with confidence.
Venue reservations have a three-hour minimum, with rental blocks available for three, four, six, or ten hours. Weekday and weekend bookings follow the same pricing structure, so you won’t be penalized simply because your event falls on a Saturday.
A 50% non-refundable retainer reserves your date. The remaining balance is due one month before your event.
You can view current pricing, available rental options, and booking information at:
Because setup, decorating, vendor arrivals, the event itself, and cleanup all need to happen within the reserved rental period, we recommend choosing a time block that gives you room to enjoy the day without feeling rushed.
A Convenient Downtown Waco Event Venue
Location matters—especially when you’re inviting guests from different parts of Waco or welcoming people from out of town.
The Sunroom & Moonlight Court Event Space is located in downtown Waco, close to local restaurants, hotels, shops, Baylor University, and many of the city’s best-known destinations.
A central location can make planning easier for showers, weddings, conferences, graduation celebrations, corporate events, and Baylor-related gatherings. Guests can attend your event and still enjoy everything downtown Waco has to offer before or afterward.
Nearby parking is available, and using one location for multiple parts of your event can simplify transportation and timing.
Events You Can Host at The Sunroom & Moonlight Court
Our event spaces are designed to be versatile. They can be dressed up, kept casual, used for private celebrations, or adapted for professional events.
Popular uses include:
Weddings and micro-weddings
Receptions and rehearsal dinners
Baby showers and bridal showers
Birthday and anniversary parties
Graduation celebrations
Retirement parties
Family gatherings

Networking events

Whether you’re planning something elegant, creative, professional, cozy, or completely outside the usual event-planning box, the space can be shaped around your vision.
Create an Event That Feels Like You
The best events aren’t necessarily the ones that follow every current trend. They’re the ones that feel personal.
Maybe that means dinner from a restaurant your family has loved for years. Maybe it means hiring a photographer whose work you’ve followed forever. Maybe it means filling the room with handmade decorations, colorful florals, vintage furniture, or absolutely no extra décor at all.
At The Sunroom & Moonlight Court, you have the freedom to make those choices.
With two different atmospheres, a central downtown Waco location, flexible rental options, included furnishings, and no required vendor list, you can create an event that fits your people, your budget, and your version of a good time.
