As a wedding photographer, I have an eye for the best locations to have a wedding, and I’m happy to announce that the wedding venues in Bryan and College Station, Texas are romantic, timeless and beautiful! From large and grand to intimate and cozy, there are some lovely venues to host the most romantic wedding you could dream up. Here are my top five recommendations!
1. The Weinburg at Wixon
With over 18,000 sq. ft. of space, this venue is capable of seating up to 450 guests, so every guest you could imagine inviting will have a seat at the table! You’ll also have both indoor and outdoor options to suit your taste and the season of your wedding. The Weinburg is decorated with stunning chandeliers for the ultimate romantic, elegant and sophisticated backdrop to your special day. The suites for the men and ladies are located in quiet areas of the venue for privacy and relaxation. Planning to have a live performance for your wedding? Good news! The Weinburg has an elevated stage you can use as a location for a live-band performance, as a location for a sweetheart table, or as the central location for the ceremony space. With so much potential, the Weinburg at Wixon is the perfect venue to carry out your fairy-tale wedding.
2. The 7F Lodge
The 7F lodge is sure to become an icon in the Bryan College Station and Houston wedding communities. The Little White Chapel is simply darling and can be as elegant or rustic as you’d like to make it. The 7F Lodge also has a covered pavilion in case you decide to host your festivities indoors. It’s suitable for up to 150 guests and would be the perfect venue for a reception with a live band. To ease tensions on the day of your wedding, you can choose their all-inclusive option, and they also include a day-of coordinator for ALL of their wedding packages– aka: a wedding day life saver!
3. The Gin at Hidalgo Falls
The Gin at Hidalgo Falls is such a fun, beautiful location for a wedding! If you have more of a rustic vibe, this one is definitely for you! They also have plenty of space for your nearest and dearest to stay with you overnight in preparation for your wedding day. What I love most about this location is that there are plenty of spaces to choose from for portraits, and your guests will love wandering around the property.
4. The Giddings Stone Mansion
If you love historical elegance, there’s no better place to host your wedding than at the Giddings Stone Mansion. The beautiful verandas add a special touch of southern charm that will surely wow your guests. For an indoor wedding, you can seat 125 guests, or if you’d like a grand party, you could host your wedding outdoors and invite up to 1,000 guests!
5. The Astin Mansion
One of my favorite things about the Astin mansion is that it’s filled with so much natural light! Meaning: your wedding photos are gonna be amaaaazing! The Astin Mansion is a historical site, built in 1920, and is in the English Georgian Revival style. Their grand staircase, the fireplaces and even their drapes will be details you won’t be able to stop thinking about. You could host an intimate indoor wedding that can accommodate up to 75 guests. For larger weddings, ceremonies are held outdoors on their perfectly manicured lawns under their gorgeous established trees. If you’re needing extra help, they have options to hire a day-of coordinator as well.
6. The Inn at Quarry Ridge
Gorgeous vaulted ceilings, a whimsical pond and gazebo, and resort-style amenities to boot. One of the best offerings of the Inn is that it can accommodate up to 25 guests overnight so you can keep your nearest and dearest closest to you in the lead-up to the ceremony. I also love, love, love that those big glass windows are facing west so you’ll get some amaaazing golden sunshine in the evening.
No matter your style, the wedding venues in Bryan and College Station will provide the perfect backdrop for the most romantic day of your life! I highly recommend scheduling a tour at these venues for your upcoming nuptials. Each one offers its own unique charm and beauty, and they all provide the perfect setting for the most gorgeous and happy day of your life.
