My mother and I made a trip up to Tyler this weekend. With Brady's new job in Henderson, Tyler is an easy and sensible choice for location. My mom AKA wedding planner made up a detailed spreadsheet of locations around the Tyler area. I went in and rated the venues based on their photos and accommodations. We toured four locations this weekend. It was pretty fun. I got referred to as "the bride" several times which never fails to make me smile.
Stop One: Lake Tyler Petroleum Club
Three walls of windows, right on Lake Tyler. Bar and dance floor included. Buffet style for dinner. Outdoor cocktail space. Ideal for reception only.
Stop Two: Centaur Arabian Farms
Gorgeous grounds and landscaping. Reception area will only seat about 110 in the barn comfortably.
Ceremony location for Stop Two. Gorgeous as well but no bad weather plan. They have a tent available but for all we know March 10th could be really freezing.
Stop Three: Villa de Felicitia
Gorgeous venue in the middle of the country. This is the one we are all leaning toward. It has a ceremony and reception location. There is an outside spot AND a back up spot.
The lovely reception area from Stop Three, Villa de Felicitia.
The outside location for Villa de Felicitia. GORGEOUS. The aisle is really long though.
Marvin United Methodist Church, over 100 years old!
Stop 4: Tyler Womens Building
Also historic. It was build in the 1930s. We visited it the morning after a wedding, so it was still super messy. It would be difficult to seat all of our guests and have a dance floor. :(
So those are our options. We still have a lot of things to consider and numbers to crunch. But plan on March 10, 2012 in Tyler, Texas!
I really like the 2nd one.
