Olde Dobbin Station is a wedding venue in Montgomery, TX. Each venue featured on this location are original structures built in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

This setting was then transformed to be suitable for engaged couples to host their dream day. Their largest facility, McCoy Station, offers a rustic atmosphere with red brick beams, various archways, and vintage chandeliers. The walls feature plenty of windows, to cover celebrations with a blanket of natural light during the day. Ideal for large receptions, up to 530 guests can be comfortably seated among the dance floor and expansive bar area. The building exterior is covered with lush ivy, with surrounding topiary plants for breathtaking photo sessions. Their outdoor ceremony area includes vintage streetlight decor, and flourishing trees to give your altar a romantic backdrop. For indoor ceremonies, the Chapel offers a blank canvas for couples to create their ideal theme. Inside features iron wrought chandeliers and bucolic wall fixtures to add a warm, welcoming touch. Two dressing suites are present onsite, with plenty of lounge furniture for you and your wedding party to relax before the big day.
You will be welcome to use Olde Dobbin Station for various events, from your engagement photo session to rehearsal dinner, to your reception grand exit. The onsite team can connect you with their list of recommended vendors, including caterers, photographers, and officiants. Chairs and tables are available for both indoor and outdoor events, and can be set up into any arrangement you prefer. From casual elopements to extravagant receptions, the onsite team will be ready to help you turn your nuptial vision into a reality.
MacKenzie Sanders(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-11-2019 I. Am. In. Love. Y’all, this is your venue. Whether you want a rustic, modern, vintage, eclectic, etc. wedding vibe, this place is perfect for you. It is absolutely breathtaking both inside each of the buildings and also outside. We actually didn’t have too much decor because of how beautiful this place already is. Which saves time getting it ready AND money👍🏼 I had an outdoor wedding at the altar and an indoor reception in their big building. First of all, I worked with Brittany throughout my whole engagement. My engagement was about a year and 3 months so you can imagine how many questions you can think of in that time. I thought of them all and asked Brittany every single one of them. And without hesitation, Brittany was quick to respond and always gave a positive answer. If it was a no, she gave alternate options or different ways of doing it, which sometimes turned out better than the original plan! She kept in contact and was always willing to do whatever was needed in order to make the day run smoother for me. I never met Carrie, the other girl that runs ODS but I’ve heard nothing but good things. There was a time that I was having pretty big medical issues and we weren’t sure if we would/could continue with our wedding day, even though we had already booked ODS. I messaged Brittany and updated her on what was going on. Before she even mentioned our booking, she was quick to ask how I was doing and offer her help and support in any way possible. When we talked about moving our wedding date, she told us to not even worry about it, that they would reserve whatever day we decided to do and they would keep our date saved until we decided to change it. And when I told them my health was in the clear and we were good to go with our original date, her and Carrie cried happy tears with us!! I could go on and on about this venue and the people that keep it running, but I really want to say that I would highly consider looking into them more and booking them for your big day. You will NOT be disappointed. My wedding day was the best day ever and majority of the credit I give to the place where we made those memories. We will forever love Olde Dobbin Station!

From the moment we stepped foot on this property, we were in love. There was no doubt in our mind that Olde Dobbin Station was the place for us to get married and that was confirmed again and again through our interactions with the various staff. On our wedding day, we had a little snaffoo where the A/C stopped working in the bridal suite in the midst of the women getting ready. Within 20 minutes of notifying Shelly, she was on the property and helping to get it handled! We quickly moved to the Grooms suite so that we didn't get behind and were able to move back into the Bridal Suite within an hour. It was really quite seamless. They made everything we asked for a reality. It was literally perfect and we wish we could do it all over again. The Dobbin is a FANTASTIC venue with absolutely amazing staff and you won't be disappointed if you choose them!Thank you all for everything you did to make our day as perfect as could be. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. Reviewed on 19-10-2023

Taylor Mikulla(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-03-2022 I knew I wanted to get married at ODS since I was in high school, and my dream finally came true! My husband and I booked this venue almost 2 years before our wedding date because we both LOVED everything about this venue. It’s so naturally beautiful that you don’t have to decorate much with flowers, candles, etc. to make the venue fit your wedding style/vibe. I mainly corresponded with Brittany, the general manager, while planning my wedding. She was helpful & responded to about 90% of my emails - I did have to send up follow-up emails at times, but this place has at least 1-2 weddings every weekend. She is dealing with & responding to tons of brides, so I try to show her grace there. Brittany also helped me find a few affordable vendors as you have to bring a big team of vendors together to execute your day. ODS provides the venue, tables, and chairs. As far as setup (outside of the ceremony chairs), you have to hire another vendor(s) to assist with this. However, the managers have lots of good recommendations on which vendors can help with what. Additionally, ODS offers at least 2 open houses per year where they have a variety of different wedding vendors available at the venue to talk with couples; this greatly helped us as we were deciding which vendors to hire for our wedding. So many of our wedding guests kept telling my husband and I how beautiful the venue was and how it fit our personalities very well. We were trying to go for a rustic style wedding, & I believe we were successful with that by choosing this venue! A couple words of caution - the bridal suite is small, so I recommend having a smaller bridal party because even with only 4 bridesmaids, our flower girl, my mom, and me, we had to do some shuffling of people and items in the suite while getting ready. Also, take the alcohol recommendations from the managers with a grain of salt. We had about 150 - 160 adults at our wedding. We had 2 kegs of beer & 36 bottles of wine. The winery I worked with to supply the wine recommended 42 - 45 bottles of wine while ODS staff recommended 30. With cocktail hour beginning at 3:30 PM, we were out of the wine we ordered by 6/6:30 PM, and the bar didn’t close until 8:30 PM. I should have went with the winery’s recommendation. With all that said, beautiful venue, helpful staff, and memories made that will last forever! Reviewed on 19-03-2022

Mallory Huber(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-05-2021 Can’t say enough good things about ODS. The venue itself hardly needed decorating because the buildings are both so beautiful. I loved that we had so many options as to where we could hold the ceremony, and how our reception could be laid out. Not to mention, Carrie and Brittany were amazing. Any time I had a question or a concern, they got back to me the same day (most of the time, almost immediately) and were always able to provide me with a thorough and detailed response. They were so kind and helpful all along the way, and my husband and I had to reschedule our wedding twice.

I could not recommend Olde Dobbin Station enough to anyone, it's simple beauty, dreamy layout, and the quaint little chapel are just 3 of the reasons why I am in love with this place. My wedding couldn't have been more perfect and I know a lot of that has to do with location. All of my guests raved about how pretty our wedding was, the ceremony site (chapel) and reception site (McCoy Station).

I don’t leave reviews unless I am truly impressed, so this is a testament to ODS and their staff. 4 days before my own wedding, Hurricane Laura threatened the safety of a venue I had booked back in January. I called around desperately trying to find a backup plan, and this venue was available. Even though we were still on the hook for paying for our original venue if the hurricane did not damage it, Olde Dobbin Station jumped to help me begin planning our “Plan B” just in case. I mean seriously, 96 hours before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, they were doing everything they could to take the stress off of me. Although we will not be having our wedding at ODS in the end, I had peace of mind and felt so supported!!!Exceptional customer service, good people, AND beautiful venue! Reviewed on 27-08-2020

Not only is the place beautiful, but the acoustics in the building they use as the chapel are phenomenal! Everyone ohh and ahhed over the place! The reception hall is somewhat divided by three arches, so the dinner was served on one side of the room and the dance floor took up the other.

B E(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-11-2018 I’m torn. This venue is beautiful! It really is very beautiful!!! But their staff doesn’t do anything beyond providing a venue, tables & chairs. We feel nickled and dimed to the n-th degree. Example: $7,000 for a venue, tables & chairs and then you want $100 to take the trash out? Just include it already! Dumb. And the chairs were not clean. Many had to be wiped down from dried good, etc. Our bestman found dried blood on several chairs. Weird & gross. The bar: Don’t expect pricing or any discussion on this subject until 14 days prior. They make budgeting impossible. As well, one of the bartenders told my guests what my alcohol budget was and how close to becoming a “cash bar” it was. The manager tried to tell me that that didn’t happen, so I ask you, HOW would my guest know my alcohol budget?? They knew to-the-dollar how much was left on my tab. Set-up: Don’t expect to have any help setting up because they don’t offer it. You’re on your own for e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.And don’t expect any sort of statement or means to track/plan your payments because they don’t have that either. If I had to do it again I would go elsewhere. But it IS a very beautiful place, sincerely. Reviewed on 08-12-2018

In one particular instance, our wedding and grooms cakes were delivered around the time the ceremony was held at an offsite location, and the grooms cake come to find out did not fit onto the cake table we had designated it for. My now husband and I had no idea of this mishap, because by the time we walked into the venue the grooms cake had been moved to a new, decorated table all thanks to the absolutely wonderful people at ODS.

Julie Callaway(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-11-2014 This venue is undoubtedly the prettiest wedding venue I have ever seen. It is so unique and as TONS of character. My wedding was on a Friday and they allowed me to come in on Thursday (if there was not a wedding booked that day) at 10:00AM to set up and have my rehearsal. This was awesome considering most venues only give you 10-12 hours total to decorate and rehearse the day of your wedding. The owner and her assistant were pretty great as well. They were on top of everything, responding to calls and emails within minutes (99% of the time). They were very helpful in every aspect. \r\rOn another note, I was constantly reminded of all the rules through email which included: not propping the doors open to move things inside, no outside liquor (which gets VERY EXPENSIVE... over double the original cost), no flower peddles on the floor from flower girl, no glitter or confetti, no alcoholic shots, and/or drinking games. This only scratches the surface. There are many many more rules and guidelines that you have to follow or precautions were taken by the venue. VERY STRICT group of people here. \r\rMy wedding went very smoothly and I enjoyed every bit of it BUT one thing that I remember being really annoying and stressful at the end was paying the bar tab. At the end of my wedding, before the send off, I was asked to pay the bar tab. For one, why couldn't they send out an invoice on Monday? I feel like, as a bride, that's the last thing you want to worry about at the end of the night. You're having fun, tipsy, about to leave, worrying about a million other things and then you have to go find your wallet (which I forgot at the hotel). I scrambled around for a while, freaking out because I couldn't find my wallet. Then, when I asked if I could pay the following day or later that night they said no. They told my, now, mother-in-law that she wasn't allowed to leave until it was paid for she had also left her wallet at the hotel. I am sorry but we pay our bills. They venue was $5,500 for Friday night and it was split up into 3 installments which we OVER PAID every time. We pay our bills, we were loyal and over paying costumers. I don't see why we weren't cut some slack. Needless to say, my father had his wallet and we were \"allowed\" to leave... Ridiculous. \r\rAll-in-all, the venue was absolutely stunning and I would recommend it to most brides but WITH CAUTION. They are so strict. I would recommend that every bride weigh the good and the bad with this venue before making their decision. In the end, I would make the same choice again. The venue is THAT beautiful!

hannahgracewhite (bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2013 I absolutely love Olde Dobbin Station. I booked it before ever even visiting because I loved it that much. The venue is incredible. So many different ways you can use it and be creative. It is timeless and perfect to a Texas wedding. There were a few things I didn't know about it until we got into the planning process that was kind of a bummer. They don't allow you to hang anything from the rafters (including string lights) Which I wanted to do really bad. So if you have that in your wedding vision, don't set your heart on it. They won't let you hang anything on the walls either. The other thing that I wished was different was the brides getting ready area. While it is beautiful, it is also TINY. If you have more than a few bridesmaids, you wont fit in there not to mention your make up and hair people. We ended up getting ready at the place we stayed which was good, just a little of a hassle. And there is no where for the groom to be so you have to have some one making sure yall don't see each other before the wedding which can be tricky. Also there is only one outlet. So bring an extension cord. \r The service was good. They are great with communication and letting you use the venue when ever you need. They get back to you in emails quickly which I appreciated. They were helpful in finding vendors and recommendations on styling and set ups. We had one little run in that was a misunderstanding but overall they were good. \rOlde Dobbin was the perfect and beautiful back drop for our wedding. Love the rustic and modern feel.

Katie Musgrove(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-05-2013 My husband and I got married at Olde Dobbin Station in May 2013 and it was amazing. The venue was beautiful and different than a traditional venue, which is what we were looking for. I wanted a venue that I could have the wedding ceremony and reception together so no guests had to drive somewhere else after already traveling to the ceremony. I also wanted a venue that had some of a vintage style to it but would still \"work\" with traditional wedding aspects. Carrie and Corbin were extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process and they were very responsive to my questions. I know my husband would have liked to have a groom's room to hang out in, but the guys still had a great time before the wedding and he actually got to visit with some of our guests while they were walking into the are we used for the ceremony. I really can't say enough nice things about ODS...it is beautiful, looks awesome in our wedding pictures and so many of guests were blown away with the building's beauty and atmosphere and its history. I just hope some of my friends pick ODS so I can go back! We had a perfect and fun night at Olde Dobbin and with all of our vendors (which were recommended by Olde Dobbin). I would highly recommend it to anybody! Reviewed on 10-08-2013
Amanda Harris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-03-2013 We used the old barn as our wedding ceremony site. The one suggestion I would have for ODS is to level up the floor and leave the rest of the building alone! The barn, as it stands, is a building that is frozen in time and with bistro lights hanging, makes a very romantic wedding ceremony. For a 300+ guest list, the ceremony was very intimate. The main building is so beautifully restored by the owners and speaks for itself, very little decoration needed. We had our reception at night so we played up lighting with candle center pieces instead of flowers. Several of our guests were blown away by the venue do to the location.\r\rFor the owners, we personally got to work with Carrie McCoy. She made planning so easy, very flexible and in the end, you felt as if you made a new friend. Her professionalism is beyond words! She worked our wedding and I felt very relieved to know she was there the entire time! She cares 100% about her customers and so does her entire staff!!! The ODS crew is wonderful! \r\rOlde Dobbin Station is a beautiful location restored to stand the test of time. Many of my guest described our wedding as a \"whimsical\" experience and as if they took a step back in time. Reviewed on 06-08-2013
Kate Hilty(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-12-2012 This was the very first venue that I looked at for my wedding. When we went to see it, it was still in the process of being renovated but I knew that it was the venue that I wanted immediately. I first found ODS when I went to the Houston Bridal Extravaganza and saw their booth. Everyone made my day so smooth! Corbin and Carrie were such a huge help! I also loved the open houses they held so I could see what vendors they recommended and ended up using a few people I found there. The one thing every person told me at my wedding was the food was fantastic (I used Bailey Connor Catering) and the venue was incredible. I was actually sad my wedding was over because I knew I wouldn't be going back there again! They did a wonderful job renovating it and I can't wait to see what they do in the future!

Stephanie Begg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2013 Olde Dobbin Station was the perfect place for our wedding. We booked it about a week after we were engaged and got married a year later. We used Corbin's wedding coordinator services and she was absolutely amazing. Olde Dobbin helped us find a great company to rent linens from and worked wonderfully with our other vendors. Everything went perfectly and I can't say anything bad about our experience. We had our ceremony inside and they were so helpful in making exactly what I'd imagined become a reality.

I honestly do not know when she has time to breathe! She was more on top of things with my wedding than I think I was. She would do things I would not even ask of her!

Carol Templeton(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-04-2013 When looking for a wedding venue I wanted something that was unique and original - not a typical hotel ballroom or hall. Olde Dobbin Station has so much history and character and its transformation from a literal ruin to what it is today is truly amazing! I booked ODS about 18 months before my wedding date, and at that time, it was still under construction. From my first tour and meeting with owner Carrie McCoy, I knew that this was the place. Not only did I love her from the minute I met her, but I saw the passion and vision that her and her husband Robert had for the venue and felt completely confident in their abilities. \r\rAs a bride, one of the best things about ODS is its size and versatility- unlike so many venues out there where you have only one or two options for configuration, we were able to have dinner for 200+ on one side and a completely separate space for the stage/band and dance floor on the other side, plus the \"barn\" made a perfect space for our cocktail reception. There are so many ways that you can design the space to fit your event. Also, I loved the fact that you have the venue for the entire day, so you aren't limited to a 4-hour event like so many other places which gave us complete freedom for our wedding schedule. \r\rCarrie and Corbin were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and were always very responsive to my emails and questions. They offered great advice and vendor recommendations and seemed to truly care about me and my event! Our guests raved about the venue and said it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. The grounds were in great condition, the venue was spotless and the bartending staff were so much fun. Carrie and Corbin were great with my other vendors and coordinator and everything ran smoothly during the setup and reception. I highly recommend Olde Dobbin Station to any bride looking for a truly unique venue! Reviewed on 06-05-2013

smgrossie (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-06-2012 I am so, so happy we chose Olde Dobbin Station for our Sunday afternoon wedding. We were only the third wedding at the venue but it all went seamlessly. A lot of other venues I viewed had all kinds of restrictions on time, vendors, etc and with all my DIY, I needed to be able to have a lot of time for setting up. The fact that the venue was ours for the entire day instantly made it my number one choice. Then I got to watch it become the absolutely stunning space that it is today. And I can't say enough about Carrie. She was so sweet and helpful right up to the last minute. And throughout the process, I really enjoyed the fact that the she was as much or little involved as I wanted. And, and, and.. I could go on for days.
