Best place in Galveston, TX for a small, intimate wedding.

How COVID changed everything.

Over the last year, because of COVID-19, there has been a shift in wedding planning. At the start of the virus, many engaged couples decided to reschedule or push their weddings back so that everyone they planned to attend could come and celebrate without worry of their health or wellbeing. However, as the months came and went and the virus and social restrictions carried on, many decided love was more important than anything else. Small, intimate weddings have become the new normal with safety, love, and family now the biggest priorities.

The pros to having a smaller venue.

It is easier to create a fairytale wedding on a smaller scale. It might seem hard to make a small wedding just as beautiful as you would in a large venue like a hotel or community center, but in reality, with smaller venues, it’s easier. Especially here at the Carr Mansion where every room is stunning and has a ‘wow’ factor carved into the woodwork, literally.

The options are endless, and it’s cost-friendly. Because your wedding size is smaller and the venue site is already beautiful that means you can spend your time and attention to details like flowers, your wedding cake and of course that elegant gown you’ve been dreaming of. A smaller more intimate space with a beautifully appointed outdoor space is a must. Most brides do not want to have to worry about all the details, a historical home like the Carr Mansion has a highly trained staff that are experts in assisting brides and their grooms achieve their dreams without sacrificing beauty, fun, or quality time with your wedding party. 


This stunning, elegant mansion is the perfect, small wedding venue.

For many couples, they still want to have their wedding in a location that is unique that allows them to celebrate with their closest family and friends. The best kind of wedding venue is breathtaking on its own without decorations but also has the capability of fitting multiple different styles depending on the vibe the couple wants their guests to feel during the event. The Carr Mansion, a historical home in Galveston Texas is, without a doubt, the best kind of intimate wedding venue.  It can be sophisticated and elegant, historic, cozy, beachy, simple, rustic, luxurious, traditional, romantic, and so much more. Not only that, but it doubles as a bed and breakfast, giving you and your guests the option and flexibility to use the accommodations to arrive early and stay longer. You and your guests will enjoy the mansion, it’s grounds and the surrounding area attractions nearby, including the beaches and historical distoric on the Strand in Galveston. There are at least 8 bedrooms in the Carr Mansion and up to 50 guests can attend an event here. Could it get any better than that? We don’t think so!
