The city of Richmond, Texas, which is the county seat of Fort Bend County, is smaller than the adjacent city of Sugar Land, but it has some excellent resources to help you plan the wedding of your dreams.

Richmond is home to the Fort Bend County Clerk's Office, so at least one month before your wedding, you can easily stop by the Jackson Street location to apply for your marriage license.

For a sophisticated Texas country wedding, make sure you check out Briscoe Manor, one of Richmond's premier wedding venues and a winner in the Bride's Choice Awards.

The manor features limestone architecture, pecan and oak trees, an outdoor fireplace overlooking a private lake, and wedding planners who can help you coordinate everything from wedding flowers and entertainment, to invitations, catering, and extras like helicopter ride honeymoon departures.

Cindy's Palace Banquet Hall, a favorite venue in WeddingWire 2012, is another elegant option for your wedding ceremony and reception, and it conveniently offers full wedding coordination and catering services.

Richmond has several points of interest for you to visit during your free time, including Primera Iglesia Bautista de Richmond Church, which is known for its architecture, Jones Creek, Davis Memorial Park, Morton Cemetery, George Memorial Library, and Fort Bend Museum.
