The Meekermark sets out to be Houston’s most unique wedding venue. Located in Magnolia, just 20 minutes outside of Houston, this charming venue was built by a family of wedding photographers and was designed to make every aspect of your wedding picture-perfect. Built from a reconstructed barn that is over two centuries old, your celebration will have a distinct sense of history alongside its rustic beauty.
What makes The Meekermark so unique?
- You won’t find our open-air chapel anywhere else. It’s unique structure – soaring beams in the shape of a classic barn with floating mid-air windows - is the setting for an outdoor picture perfect “I do.”
- Our historic barn with modern finishes is where your reception takes place. Its exposed beams have a rustic yet modern vibe and are the perfect canvas to decorate your wedding exactly how you’ve always envisioned it. It is also equipped with panoramic doors that open up to our great lawn, creating a space where your guests can spill out into the Magnolia evening. Flooded by tons of natural light, modern fixtures, and its signature Tiffany-blue doors, we tried to think of every detail that will make your wedding look flawless.
- Vast outdoor grounds for parties of all sizes – up to 200 guests.
- Get ready for your big day in our chic bridal suite with a private courtyard. Our bridal suite is large enough to accommodate all the members of your bridal party, along with your hair and make-up team. Oh, and there’s a groom’s loft, too with a wet bar.
- Our team will make you feel like family.
Stop by for a tour and see if The Meekermark is “the one.”

The Meeker family and their team are some of the best people you will meet. Their team is so friendly and professional and our day was flawless. Our coordinator was Kara and we were amazed at the way we could rapid fire information at her and she managed to keep track of it all. She didn’t miss a single thing.

The Meekermark was exactly what we were looking for. The venue is beautiful and the outdoor chapel is so unique and such a special place for the ceremony! It was raining the day of our wedding, and they gave us up until 45 minutes before the ceremony to make a decision on if we would have it outside or inside which was super helpful and made it less stressful for me! We did end up having it outside (sorry guests) and it was beautiful! They had some clear umbrellas for us to borrow during the ceremony and pictures, and they actually added a beautiful touch to our pictures!
We also got a month of coordinator (would definitely recommend) and Nabila was great!! She made sure everything went exactly how we wanted and the day of my wedding was super stress free!! I appreciate the hard work the venue did to make our day perfect!! And it sure did feel perfect!
Any questions?

The venue is STUNNING. It is the perfect all in one place with everything you need. The bridal sweet with the courtyard is perfect! The groom's loft is PERFECT. The open air chapel? Don't get me started! Everything about this venue is beautiful and perfect. Amanda, Sam, Kara, and Jen were SO helpful with literally ANY questions I had. They met with me anytime I needed, cried with me, laughed with me. They became like family and I am so grateful we picked The Meekermark for our special day!!

The Meekermark is the venue for you!!! Everyone was amazing to work with and made our day more than we could have ever imagined. From the communication when we first booked to everything the day of the wedding, we could not have been more pleased. All of our guests enjoyed their experience and we have heard many times that your venue was the most unique and amazing venue they have been to. If you are looking for the best venue to have your wedding at, this is your place!!! If you need a photographer too, book with Meeker Pictures! We are truly so in love with every photo they took.

Book at the Meekermark and book all of the add-ons. Candle package, coordinator, photography, etc. You will not be disappointed. I had an absolutely stunning wedding and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I was completely stress-free day of because of how wonderful and attentive their entire staff was. The Meekermark is worth every penny. The staff is incredibly professional, but also very personable. The venue is beautiful and well thought out. We had a seamless experience.

We just had our mini wedding at The Meekermark and the entire experience was incredible. The whole process of booking and working with them was very low stress and I did most of it from out of state. Everybody involved from beginning to end- Kara, Amanda, Jen, Sam, our officiant Bayne- was SO flexible, kind, and a joy to work with. They made our mini wedding feel just as special and organized as a 200+ person event. The grounds of the venue are beautiful and peaceful and give a feeling of calm amidst the adrenaline rush of the occasion. Thank you so, so much to the entire team at the Meekermark for the event of a lifetime- miniaturized :)

The Meekermark was the last venue we toured and we instantly knew it was the place we wanted to spend our big day! The barn is such a beautiful space by itself and is an excellent canvas for the other vendors to work. The preferred vendor list is great-- the best of the industry in the Houston area. We ended up hiring a string quartet to play the prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour. The prelude and cocktail hour ended up being inside due to the weather, but the acoustics inside the barn were GREAT. (I'm a musician so this was an added bonus) All of our guests raved about how beautiful and unique the venue is! The staff was very responsive and easy to work with. We ended up having about 90 people for the event and its was a good amount for that space. Didn't feel too big or too small.
The only reason I am not giving 5 full stars is because the 12 hour rental is not enough time for a full-on wedding bash. We ended up having to purchase additional time in order to allow for hair and makeup at the venue, and extend the reception by an hour. This venue only does one event per day, so I wish the rental price was for the whole day beginning at 8am or something like that. The rehearsal was on the day-of, which honestly was fine. If you wanted to do a rehearsal the day before, it is dependent on the venue availability AND you pay an additional fee.
But honestly, our wedding was beautiful thanks to the Meekermark and the Meeker team. You would be very happy here!

I had to switch my venue last minute and they were exceptional in helping me plan my big day! I recommend their candle package as well, as it looks stunning in the reception area without me needing to buy any decor at all. 10/10!!!

Our dream wedding venue! We originally booked The Meekermark a couple of months before COVID and we could not be happier with The Meekermark and how understanding their whole team was during our two date changes. Not only is the venue breathtaking, but it is also incredibly clean. Every spot is picture-perfect and we cannot picture getting married in a more gorgeous place.
We booked Jennifer as our Month-of Coordinator through The Meekermark and she made sure everything ran smoothly. At our month-out meeting, she asked lots of questions to see how we envisioned our day going which was a huge help and stress-relief! On the day of the wedding, she was on hand all day long and made sure the day went on without a hitch! We had the best day ever thanks to The Meekermark, Jennifer, and their amazing team!

I cannot rave about this venue and the owners/staff enough! From the moment I walked in for my tour with Amanda (manager) I knew this is where I wanted to get married. Yes, the modern barn is beautiful with the chandeliers and the most beautiful bridal suite, but the open air chapel outside was everything and more! My guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was (months later)! I am in love with my pictures too! The indoor/outdoor vibe of this venue is seriously perfect. I can’t thank the owners Mark and Christine, as well as the coordinator Jen enough for giving me the wedding of my dreams. Also, a shoutout to Meeker Pictures for capturing the best day of my life in picture form. I would not change anything about my big day. You guys will not be disappointed if you choose this venue!

Sophisticated and Elegant. The most unique venue near Houston. The chapel is gorgeous and you get a very open air and vintage vibe. The reception area in the barn is incredible with wood features and concrete flooring. The bride's quarters and groom's quarters are perfect for what you need before the wedding. Both are very private and semi-private (groom) but give the parties plenty of relaxation. The back glass door wall opens up if the weather is right to an amazing an airy outdoor grass/patio venue with string lights.
Couldn't have picked a better place to get married!

It's hard to put into words how much we love the Meekermark and the Meeker family! From the moment we toured this gorgeous venue, we knew we wanted to get married there. Absolutely stunning outdoor chapel, beautiful reception barn with turquoise doors, pretty lawn. We loved the flexibility of the indoor and outdoor spaces and our guests did too! They are very kind, friendly, responsive and easy to work with. We had to postpone our wedding because of the pandemic and they made it as seamless a transition as possible. Every interaction with the Meekermark and its staff was pleasant. Our wedding day was an absolute DREAM and we will forever cherish our memories at the Meekermark!

Wow, such a gorgeous venue! I was drawn to the majestic white frame chapel in the woods and the interior of the barn is modern and elegant. Tyler and I only went to 2 venue tours, and we knew this was the one. Charlie, the retriever pup and greeter, sealed the deal for us (but of course Amanda, John, and Sam were great too!). The Meekers were easy to work with and Jennifer Bush always answered all my questions and concerns quickly and with professionalism. The facebook group for Meeker brides is super helpful for figuring out what works, and for giving/receiving suggestions. The venue is grand and beautiful with or without decorations but allows you to go many directions with your vision. The size of the venue was perfect for our wedding of around 90 or so but typically can hold 200+. I loved every inch of this property, from the bridal suite courtyard to the swings off the back porch, and I’m here to tell you, you have found the venue you want to get married at! We had the most beautiful day and our pup Rio got to share it with us. Everything was so special and we loved spending our day at the Meekermark. Thank you from the Broussards!

This place is top notch, and a dream wedding venue. We loved this place from the moment we saw their photos online, and we are so blessed to have found this gem. My whole life I wanted to have our wedding at a beautiful outdoor venue like this, and the Meekermark made my dream come true.
The inside is extremely modern and doesn't need much decorations at all. The outside will knock ur socks off with their beautiful outdoor chapel, with it's long isle (great for getting lots of photos on while you are walking down the isle, and to enjoy the moment a little longer, instead of it being over in 10 steps. Walking down that isle vs any other is just not comparable.).
The people who own and run this place are very helpful and reasonable all the way around. I don't think we were ever told no, or asked to not do something. We loved this place, and would highly recommend to anyone considering them as their venue.

This was the only venue me and my fiancé looked at. I was in love the second I enter the reception area. As we walked a little further down and then bam! The open air chapel. Just beautiful, everything, the bridal suite, grooms loft, now talk about a kitchen that I could have in my own home. I honestly never seen anything like it. Very easy going venue manager. You will not be disappointed in choosing this one of a kind venue. We love the Meekermark! Married Dec 7, 2019

This venue was everything I’d ever dreamed of and more. I had already booked a different venue when I first heard about this place and ended up forfeiting my deposit because I loved it so much. It is so different from every other venue in the area. The owners were all so sweet and easy to work with. Everyone kept telling us how gorgeous it was. When my husband forgot all the cups for drinks, they even ran to the store to get em while we walked down the aisle and didn’t have to miss a thing. I hope someone I know gets married there so I can return.

When I came across this venue I was immediately drawn to it. After thinking I wanted an all inclusive venue I keep looking around but something kept drawing me back to The Meekermark. I finally went on a tour and was blown away by the beauty and history of the venue. Not only that but ALL the Meeker’s are fantastic. When you book this venue you feel like a family! They are very responsive and truly enjoy helping you make your big day exactly as you imagined. Thank you to all The a Meekermark staff for giving us a wonderful wedding day!

I am still in disbelief that I found this incredible venue via a Facebook ad! The Meekermark was my dream venue before I even knew it existed. It checkmarked EVERYTHING I wanted and then some. Modern, vintage, unique, natural, outdoorsy, gorgeous, simple, a hint of industrial and 100% what I wanted! I had looked at several venues around the Houston area in person and hundreds more online. At most, I was feeling “meh” about the best of what I saw. I felt like I was going to have to settle for something that I didn’t really want...UNTIL, I came across the Meekermark in a Facebook ad. I was immediately in love. We scheduled a tour, were greeted by Amanda and her sweet dog Charlie, and the rest is history. I could not have imagined a more perfect place, both indoors and out. All of our guests had nothing but positive things to say and I am still getting constant compliments about our outdoor chapel photos and how beautiful the whole concept is. On top of the perfect decor and location, the Meekers are photographers who have planned out every inch and detail of their venue with regard to how it will work for photography and this really impressed us. We enjoyed getting to know the Meeker family through the whole process, as they were also our photographers. Great experience all around!

We fell in love with this unique property the moment we drove through the front gate. It is so beautiful and like no wedding venue we've seen before (trust me, we went to a LOT of weddings last year!!). We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend a few public events at the venue throughout the months leading up to our wedding, and every time we stepped foot on the property we fell more and more in love with it. The management at this venue is phenomenal, so friendly and personable. Not only because they're a family operated business, but because they're also wedding photographers, so they truly understand the wedding industry and the emotional mindset of the to-be duo. We are so thankful that we got to say "I do" and celebrate with our loved ones on this amazing piece of land and with the help of their amazing crew!! Thank you Meeker family!!! You all are wonderful human beings and we are so thankful for your hospitality!

We booked the Meekermark before it was even finished and my husband and I got married here on 3/10/19! From the very beginning the Meekermark was my absolute DREAM venue and it truly felt like a fairytale getting married here! Amanda and the rest of the team were SO sweet and helpful throughout the whole process! So happy and grateful we chose to have our dream wedding here!

My husband and I just got married at The Meekermark and have nothing but AMAZING things to say about choosing to start our life together here. We visited The Meekermark while it was still being built, and even though it was far from done, the Meeker's were able to paint the perfect picture of the venue. I'm typically indecisive, but this was the easiest decision made during the wedding planning process. The Meekermark was the only venue we visited and we knew it was the one. The entire Meeker family is incredibly kind, personable and made us feel special from start to finish. They were easy to get in contact with, were quick to respond to questions and were available to help throughout the process. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect at The Meekermark. The weather was fabulous, so we were able to get married outside in the chapel and I can't even put into words how magical it felt! Seriously - the best moment of my life. The entire venue is thoughtfully designed, as it was built with photography in mind. Getting ready in the beautiful & bright bridal suite was so much fun with my girls and the guys loved hanging out in the upstairs loft before the wedding. Our guests were raving all night about how fantastic the venue was, and since it's a newer venue, it was neat to get married in a place where none of our friends had been before. I could go on and on about how incredible The Meekermark is, but I can promise that you won't regret starting your marriage in this beautiful place.
