Bluebird Haven Estates was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the team was quick to respond to all of our questions and requests. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a peaceful, natural setting that made our day feel so special. Sallie and her team went above and beyond, providing gorgeous decorations and details that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. When the threat of bad weather was over, they were able to quickly move the ceremony outside, making my daughter's dream of an outdoor wedding a reality. We were also able to rent the whole venue for the weekend, which made the entire event even more memorable and special. Waking up to the deer in the backyard was an added bonus. I would highly recommend Bluebird Haven Estates to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.

Olde Dobbin Station will provide a unique experience for its clients through the use of old structures built in the early 1900’s, restored to their original look and feel, while adding a vintage touch.

It became the community “swimming hole” according to many of the locals and remains a historical marker for the community and its residents. Olde Dobbin has recently renovated its final structure and officially has made it into a chapel. The “chapel” was initially used in the late 1800’s as a pump house for the nearby trains' steam.

We wanted a place where we and our closest guests could stay overnight and enjoy a fabulous breakfast together the next morning. Thankfully, we found this perfect venue. Tracy and Jennifer were incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. Jennifer, in particular, was so kind and accommodating, allowing me to visit the venue while it was unoccupied to do mock setups before the big day. This level of flexibility and support meant the world to us. I am forever grateful that we came across this venue. It provided the perfect setting for our special day and the warmest hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue that goes above and beyond

  • Up to 150 guests

  • Starts at $150

The town of Navasota was founded in 1854 and the tracks brought the railroad by 1859. One of the first buildings built here was a hotel, built by Ms. Louisa Loftin. She was quite the ambitious widow for a woman during the late nineteenth century. Conflicting research shows the hotel was either built as early as 1860 or as late as 1876. She soon met and married P. A. Smith and the hotel bore his name. At first, the railroad brought a great number of patrons, but, unfortunately, the Civil War brought the economy of Navasota as well as the success of the hotel, down, after only a few years.

About wedding venues in Iola, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day.

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away.

Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere.
