Houston Wedding Venues: Discover Station 3

Filed in: Venues

Station 3 : A historic venue just minutes from Downtown Houston

Located minutes outside of downtown Houston, Station 3 is one of Houston’s official historic landmarks. This former firehouse built 1903 underwent a full renovation in 2014 but retained its original brick walls, wood floors, concrete beams, and intricate hand-carved exterior stonework. This is a venue steeped in timeless beauty and charm. And yes, it still has a fireman’s pole.

You have already come along on our venue journey to the Northwest and the South. Today we’re heading to the heart of the action right outside of downtown Houston.

You and your guests are sure to love the history and ambiance of Station 3. Upon walking the venue, I was immediately taken with the 14ft high ceilings and the floor to ceiling windows. They spared no expense when completing the renovation. The restroom areas are state of the art and the designers also added in a lift for ease of access to the second-floor entertainment space. The original exposed brick walls are perfect for a shabby-chic wedding or an ultra-modern affair. Station 3 is venue with the perfect mix of old and new.

Here are some items to highlight when planning for your event:
