Looking for a historic touch for your wedding? Are you a fan of gorgeous brick architecture as much as I am? Station 3 is the place to go. Built in 1905, this location was one of Houston's first horse-drawn wagon and steamer fire stations – and it still houses the original fire pole! (If you're into it, they even let the newlywed couple slide down the pole for their entry or leave!) This two-story open-concept venue boasts large windows that let in natural light and lots of space for you and your guests to wine, dine, and dance!
But perhaps my favorite aspect of this venue is the historic firehouse's motto. "Trust in Us" is still engraved in stone on the building's side – It's the best way to start the rest of your life together!
