Venue help: Indoor ceremony/reception, outdoor pictures

AmberMarieTX

I have looked in this section, but could really use some help. I have searched and searched online but my brain is fried so I would love to hear advice from ACTUAL people, lol.

We are looking for somewhere in the DFW area, PREFERABLY on the Fort Worth side of the metroplex, but NOT necessary.

YWCA is an option, but looking for other options because my fiance's best bud got married there and he doesn't want to "copy" ..

We want an indoor ceremony, indoor reception... but we would love a place with pretty outdoors for photo ops.

Looking for something to hold around 100  guests....

As far as budget, well, let's just say we have a very small budget.

I am getting married at the Rose Chapel which is in Fort Worth and in line with the cost of the YWCA. They have a chapel, ballroom and an outdoor garden area that you can take photos in. The building itself also has character, as it was buillt in the 1920's. I tell everyone the exterior the building is crumbly in a good way...haha.

I liked the two already mentioned, but loved 809 at Vickery. It just wasn't big enough to hold 225 people and have a dance floor, but it'd be plenty of room for 100. There are plenty of pictures on their website of really pretty weddings there.(www.atvickery.com)

I also thought Fort Worth Community Arts Center was really pretty. The pictures of weddings there that I found online don't do it justice - beautiful wood floors, and the art is just a subtle background touch. I think that's (www.fwcac.com)

I also looked at several rooms at Stockyards Station. Unlike the previous two, it includes catering (the other two are completely DIY) but their catering prices were very reasonable compared to everything else I researched.

I'm not sure what outdoor photo ops there are there - I barely looked outside when I toured all these places. I'm new to Texas, so I'm all about staying indoors in the A/C.
