hello i will be getting married at the end of april.im looking to do a western wedding so i was thinking about renting a fvw hall but i would like to do bails of hay for the sitting and im not sure if i can do that in a vfw hall so i was thinking about doin it at a park.....could you moms help me out here???i dont want a church wedding because i want to do a western wedding....it will be a weekend wedding...thankyou for anyhelp moms
I saw an amazing Cowboy Church in Montgomery or Hempstead. I do not remember exactly, but it looked perfect.. Here is a link.. I also have a very good friend that lives in Conroe. I will also ask her.
What about having it at the VFW but putting the bails of hay in the entrance way decorated with western themed items..hearts made out of lasso rope, gingham, bucket with flowers, etc. You could even display your portrait on there as well.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding!
Where do you live?
We're in the San Antonio area and did ours at Rio Cibolo ranch. You can have both the wedding and reception there. It's perfect for a western wedding.
Have you looked at the Salt Lick? They have a pavilion that you can rent for a wedding. It is not too close to the restaurant and is really beautiful, with a little creek that runs by it. I attended a western wedding there and it was beautiful. Lots of room to dance. The location is very natural.
call local summer camps and see ifyou can rent there meeting halls or mess halls most of thenm rent them out this time of yr and most have a westerny feel and won't mind the hay
There is a place in either New Braunfels, Cibolo, or Schertz that does just that. I can't remember where. It is a western hall and I believe they do the whole hay ride stuff. Google places to get married in San Antonio are and you will find it. It wasn't my cup of tea, but it did look nice if you are into the whole western thing.
Congratulations on your marriage.
check out website for this place in Hempstead called Tin Hall "Old West" Rental Hall: http://www.tinhall.com/rentaloptions.html
i live in victoria tx. we had our wedding at the victoria art leauge. it is downtown and a old western style building.http://victoriaartleague.org/default.aspx it was once the farmers market. i belive it was a brothle (sp) house at one time. look for intreasting buildings. even the old time white wood framed churches have a slight western appeal to them. can you find a barn? not sure about the conroe area but here we have the party parn, rasin L ranch, schroder dance hall and other barns you can rent.

There is a rustic ranch type place in Buda off of Roland Lane that does weddings.. I can't think of it at present...but if you are interested..let me know at my personal email address and I will find out from some of my customers who live in that direction.. or make a run over myself and check it out.

Try looking at Cibolo Ranch on line. It is located out on IH 10 going toward Houston but every close to town. It is a great place and they can cather too if you need them to do food. Great fun/family place.
Hey-
Check out Enchanted Springs Ranch, Don Strange Ranch and Rio Cibolo Ranch. I think Rio Cibolo Ranch would be the cheapest b/c you can bring in your own caterer, etc. But all three have really cool sites for western weddings - exactly what you're looking for. Good luck!
Have you considered the Tin Hall on Huffmeister in Cypress? It's really famous and set up for just the type of thing you describe.
Clay's on Clay Rd. HWy6 area is nice, Blanco's on W.Alabama, Tin Hall out tomball way, broken spoke in Richmond tx. any BBQ restaurant should be western themed ...Good Luck!
Briscoe Manor in Richmond, TX. Very beautiful...with a western twist.
A friend of mine had her wedding at Barr Mansion. It was beautiful and would work really well with a Western theme.
