The Venues

It's official!  Ray and I have decided on both the chapel and reception site!  It's sooo exciting! 

For a long time I have loved the Robert Carr Chapel and always fanatized about getting married there.  It is a beautiful, little chapel on the TCU campus.  I was hoping that Ray would love it just as much as I did.  When he saw it, he agreed that it was perfect! 
Finding a reception venue wasn't as easy!  I looked on-line since the day after we got engaged!  We made lots of appointments and looked at lots of places, but nothing really felt right.  One day Lindsay wanted to go with us to look at a few places on our list in downtown Fort Worth.  After another day of not finding anything we were impressed with, she suggested that we drive over to the Ashton Depot.  It was only a few blocks away from where we were.  When we got there, they were setting up for an event, and they let us come in and take a look around.  Once I stepped in, I knew it was the place!  It is formerly the Santa Fe Railroad Depot and opened in 1899.  It has now been restored and is a historic landmark.  We fell in love with the history of it, the original marble  floors, stained glass and vaulted ceilings. 
  It's going to provide the perfect atmosphere for our wedding reception!
