Indoor Wedding Ceremonies
The postcard perfect “little white wedding chapel” is the centerpiece of this Texas ranch. Built in 1880 the chapel has been completely modernized without losing its charm. It has wooden pews, wooden floors, and white walls. A large wooden cross hangs on the altar wall. The bell tower chimes to celebrate the ceremony. The chapel is available as a back drop for bridal and engagement photos. In addition to the historic wedding chapel, the Star Ballroom is also a favorite for ceremonies.
Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies
Three scenic locations on the ranch are available for outdoor weddings. All three are ideal for a rustic.
