Olde Dobbin Station, located in Montgomery just near Lake Conroe, is an industrial wedding venues Houston couples love. Currently enjoying its second act as a wedding venue, Olde Dobbin’s five distinct buildings were built in the early 20th century and used by various oil companies. Couples may choose from the indoor chapel or the outdoor courtyard for their wedding celebrations, while the massive McCoy Station building — the banquet hall to best all banquet halls — is perfect for a reception, with the capacity to seat more than 500 people.
