Have the Most Control With an Indoor Venue in East Texas

Everyone enjoys the beauty of an outside wedding or other celebration, but did you know that 6/10 times outside weddings are either delayed, relocated, or postponed due to inclement weather? That’s slightly more than half of the celebrations! Not to mention, the heat of Texas can be brutal to you and your guests.

One of the best benefits of booking your event at our indoor venue is that you don’t have to worry about high winds, rain, humidity, or heat. Instead, you can enjoy an elegant and rustic vibe with the comfort of being inside a cool or warm temperature–whatever is to your liking. It’s great having maximum control of the temperature, so you and your guests can be comfortable throughout the entire celebration.
