PERFECT ceremony venue

The chapel is STUNNING. Minimal decor needed if any at all. The team at Robert Carr is top notch. While they have rules like any chapel, it's these rules that allow them to keep your wedding running like clockwork. We had the 2-5 PM timeslot with a ceremony at 3:30 PM. Ceremony was a half hour so this gave us an hour to get family photos and extra chapel photos done. Most of my communication was with the director Mallory, but Lisa was our day of coordinator. Both went above and beyond working with my wedding planner and ensuring everything ran the way we wanted.

Included in the contract is the use of the chapel for bridal portraits for 2 hours for free. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone taking bridals. I was able to test my entire look for the day prior to the wedding and have some silent time in the chapel to reflect.

For music we used the chapel musicians. The acoustics in the chapel are amazing so the organ truly fills the space without sounding old timey.

Wish we could do it all again!

The most beautiful wedding we could have imagined

Mallory was so helpful and informative during all the planning. Robert Carr is a stunning chapel surrounded by beautiful grounds. Our photographer/videographer did all their work in and around the chapel. Several of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever attended. I highly recommend Robert Carr Chapel.

Perfect ceremony spot!

We could not have asked for a better place for our Catholic wedding. Robert Carr Chapel is a stunning chapel and was absolutely perfect for our ceremony as TCU alums! The staff were extremely responsive during the entire process and took care of everything during our rehearsal and ceremony. We would highly recommend Robert Carr Chapel to anyone looking to get married in Fort Worth!

Everything We Dreamed It Would Be

Mallory and her team are FANTASTIC. From the first moment we met Mallory, I knew we were in good hands. We visited Robert Carr after seeing another venue that we were already 100% sure we were going to go with. Then, after meeting Mallory and seeing the amazingly beautiful chapel, we completely changed our minds to go with Robert Carr. It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. They were very communicative, made clear their expectations of us, and were so accommodating for all of our needs. The space is so fantastically beautiful that we only needed to add a few hints of color and flowers here and there to make the space "ours." INCREDIBLY budget friendly compared to similar venues throughout DFW. Our day was perfect and so special, made even more special by Mallory's team. I would recommend this venue to absolutely every bride-to-be! The only downside was the timeline (we were strictly limited to 3 hours, which we knew from the beginning). However, we wished we could have had the chapel for another half hour or hour for portraits after the ceremony. Our photographer was able to get everything we needed anyways. We were able to move across the street to take photos in front of the beautiful rotunda on TCU's campus for some of our bridal party shots. TCU is accommodating even on their tight ceremony schedules! We loved this venue and will always hold it and TCU dear in our hearts. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Absolutely stunning chapel and awesome staff!

Right from the very beginning, the TCU Chapel staff was so friendly, professional, and responsive. They worked with both me (as the bride) and my parents so well. I planned our wedding from a different state and the staff made sure to work with me accordingly. Leading up to the big day, the chapel coordinator got in touch with me and my month of coordinator and everything went smoothly! And I have never seen a more beautiful chapel. It was perfect all around and I am so happy we chose TCU chapel!

We love the Robert Carr Chapel! As a venue ourselves, we try to stay connected with other venues so couples can find the exact venue they want for their special day! Robert Carr Chapel is a beautiful spot for any ceremony (especially if you're a TCU fan)! Mallory is such a sweetheart too. We love that she connects people with local Fort Worth vendors including BRIT for reception space. Give this place a look and tell Mallory we said hello!
