Olde Dobbin Station was an opportunity to breathe life back into these old buildings through weddings and special events. During the restoration process, the first owners maintained as much of the original structures as possible, down to 100+ year old concrete walls.
To date, Olde Dobbin Station has hosted over 1000 weddings and special events, and continues to wow guests and clients with its story and charm. Olde Dobbin Station is one of the only historic wedding venues in the Montgomery and North Houston area. It has been featured in numerous wedding magazines, and been voted as the number one venue in Texas.
The wedding venue includes the main hall, the indoor Chapel, an outdoor ceremony site, and two dressing suites. It can hold both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies.
The land and buildings officially secured and plans for the future of these spaces began.
The new roof is complete and bathrooms begin construction.
The brick columns are built around the original steel structures.
Process begins for custom metal window frames for all the spaces, to tie in those original steel elements.
With the brick work around the columns completed , and the concrete floors poured, the Chandeliers make the room come to life.
Outdoor ceremony site is officially complete with added landscaping, and ready for all the beautiful nuptials.
Looking back on these images is nostalgic in so many ways. Those beautiful trees have blossomed so much.
Officially complete and ready for events. Though these walls have greenery that extenuates them now, the underneath is beautiful all it's own.
It was time to close the chapel in and make it more usable for future events.
In November, they raised the floor in the chapel with fresh concrete, redid the entrances, added a new insulated roof on top of the original, and hung new chandeliers. A second dressing suite was added at this time as well.
A new set of hand-carved chapel doors were constructed. A welder was commissioned to create windows as close as possible to the original structure.
Bringing life back into this space, was the added touch Olde Dobbin needed to enhance wedding days that much more.
Olde Dobbin Station proudly welcomes the new owners, Kristen & Jordan Porter. Keeping the family traditions and origins alive, and carrying the traditions on.
After all the events we have done over the years, it was time for these bathrooms to get a facelift. Just one more thing to make the guest experience more enjoyable.
Parking Lot was expanded, to increase the guest parking experience. Such a nice update to accommodate vehicles better.
