Awarded Best of Zola
I worked at TWU for many years in a past life, so when getting married popped up on my radar, the Little Chapel was the natural choice. I was fortuante enough to actually work AT the chapel for several years, facilitating weddings and other events in this timeless, historical building. My very intimate wedding could not have been more picture-perfect.

Everyone at Elm Fork was super helpful and kind, we had gone there a few month prior to the rehearsal dinner just to get a feel for it and instantly went "oh heck yeah this is it". Staff was very kind, they worked with us on how to make our budget be the most efficient, and I think we still got extras because they were so nice. Loved it, super cute, super easy to find for our out of town guests because of the big signage off the highway.

About wedding venues in St. Jo, TX

Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.
