Amazing!!! Definitely Recommend

Olde Dobbin Station was an absolute dream. The venue was easy to work with and they always responded quickly to any questions we had. Our guests loved the venue and still rave about how beautiful and unique it was. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone.

We only saw one venue!

My new husband and I also saw this venue and it changed all of our wedding plans! This space is beautiful and still, bold and colorful. We initially planned to go to Vegas but we fell in love with this venue in one visit. It’s a bride and a wedding planners dream. It doesn’t require a lot of decorations to come to life but somehow has all the space and light needed to plan a magazine worthy affair! This was the best decision we made for our wedding. The staff was friendly and helpful along the way and we loved our coordinator Brittany. They made the last few weeks of our experience so pleasant from walking us through ordering beverages to last minute weather adjustments.

The most beautiful Venue

Hands down, Olde Dobbin Station is the most beautiful wedding venue. My husband and I did not want the typical Texas white barn wedding. If you do, you do you, no judgment. As soon as we walked in for our first tour, we knew that was it. This place is overflowing with history, beauty, and a uniqueness that our guests still talk about. Our pictures look phenomenal any area of ODS in the background. Carrie and Brittany were very helpful with everything especially since I was planning the wedding from California. Not only was the venue stunning, but it’s the best price you’ll find (probably) in all of Texas. Don’t hesitate, tour the venue and you’ll fall in love too!

Dream Venue = Dream Wedding

This has been my dream venue for the past 5 years and on May 1, 2021 I was able to live out my dream by marrying my best friend in this gorgeous place. I could not recommend Olde Dobbin Station enough to anyone, it's simple beauty, dreamy layout, and the quaint little chapel are just 3 of the reasons why I am in love with this place. My wedding couldn't have been more perfect and I know a lot of that has to do with location. All of my guests raved about how pretty our wedding was, the ceremony site (chapel) and reception site (McCoy Station). I could go on and on, but you need to see this venue for your self to truly fall in love. Once you set your eyes on it, it's kind of impossible not to love it. Thank y'all so much again for hosting my dream wedding!

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!

Wow, I cannot say enough about this venue. My daughter fell in love with this venue the moment she saw it. The venue speaks for itself as to its historic beauty, The staff at Old Dobbin were amazing. When speaking to Carrie the owner or Brittany the manager, I felt as though I was speaking to one of my friends. They were always prompt in answering our many, many questions, and gave advise when asked. They didn’t seem to be bothered by this nervous mom. Lol
If you are looking for a venue that is not only absolutely stunning, but your guest will rave about, and has a great staff of years and years of experience then Olde Dobbin Station is for you.

The best ever!!!

I. Am. In. Love. Y’all, this is your venue. Whether you want a rustic, modern, vintage, eclectic, etc. wedding vibe, this place is perfect for you. It is absolutely breathtaking both inside each of the buildings and also outside. We actually didn’t have too much decor because of how beautiful this place already is. Which saves time getting it ready AND money👍🏼 I had an outdoor wedding at the altar and an indoor reception in their big building. First of all, I worked with Brittany throughout my whole engagement. My engagement was about a year and 3 months so you can imagine how many questions you can think of in that time. I thought of them all and asked Brittany every single one of them. And without hesitation, Brittany was quick to respond and always gave a positive answer. If it was a no, she gave alternate options or different ways of doing it, which sometimes turned out better than the original plan! She kept in contact and was always willing to do whatever was needed in order to make the day run smoother for me. I never met Carrie, the other girl that runs ODS but I’ve heard nothing but good things. There was a time that I was having pretty big medical issues and we weren’t sure if we would/could continue with our wedding day, even though we had already booked ODS. I messaged Brittany and updated her on what was going on. Before she even mentioned our booking, she was quick to ask how I was doing and offer her help and support in any way possible. When we talked about moving our wedding date, she told us to not even worry about it, that they would reserve whatever day we decided to do and they would keep our date saved until we decided to change it. And when I told them my health was in the clear and we were good to go with our original date, her and Carrie cried happy tears with us!! I could go on and on about this venue and the people that keep it running, but I really want to say that I would highly consider looking into them more and booking them for your big day. You will NOT be disappointed. My wedding day was the best day ever and majority of the credit I give to the place where we made those memories. We will forever love Olde Dobbin Station!

Olde Dobbin breathtaking

I loved this venue. I hate the location. The GPS took me all over the place just to get there. Unfortunately this place is huge. My wedding party will be too small for it. I would definitely recommend this to someone else whose looking for a beautiful place .

ODS is THE best!

I am so grateful to have been able to book my wedding at such a beautiful, one of a kind wedding venue!
Not only was the character of the chapel and reception hall unlike any other venue, Carrie(owner) and Brittany(manager) were unlike any other too. From the time I booked to the day of my wedding I felt welcome, important, and that they had everything taken care of! My guest count was 180 - and there was PLENTY of space. For the quality of the venue, owners/managers, the size of the space, the cost is priceless (which it is actually VERY affordable)! I can't thank Olde Dobbin Station and their team enough for such an easy and FUN experience. My wedding day was everything I could have imagined it to be and it all came to life because of ODS!

Phenomenal Venue!!

My daughter now lives in Austin, but grew up near Houston and wanted to get married in or near Houston. When she started searching for venues, Olde Dobbin Station was the only facility she even wanted to look at because they could hold more than 200 guests and she loved the photos on the website. Well, I have to tell you, the pictures do not even do the place justice. Her wedding was this past weekend and the beauty of the venue far surpassed our expectations. Not only is the place beautiful, but the acoustics in the building they use as the chapel are phenomenal! Everyone ohh and ahhed over the place! The reception hall is somewhat divided by three arches, so the dinner was served on one side of the room and the dance floor took up the other. Carrie and Brittany were so easy to work with and the staff on duty the night of our wedding was helpful and efficient. Look no further for the perfect venue to hold your next event...Olde Dobbin Station is the place!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
