The Chapel

The Chapel is a beautifully restored country church originally built in Pontotoc, Texas around 1899. A functional bell tower, period lighting, and original pine floors create a romantic ambiance for a church service or an indoor wedding ceremony.

The Reception / Banquet Hall

The Reception Hall is a converted “Rosenwald” school constructed near Willow Springs, Texas in the early 1920’s. Large open indoor spaces as well as a 1300 square foot, all weather, covered verandah and surrounding lawn seating make this a very flexible setting for dining, dancing and cocktails. [Floorplan]

The Bride's Cottage / VIP Suite

The Bride’s Cottage is a charming original Bee Caves area farm house build around 1910, and given as a wedding present in 1917. Plaster walls, a vintage kitchen and bath, and warm antique furnishing create a luxurious retreat for the bride and her attendants. [Floorplan]
