I love this venue! The team is very friendly and accommodating! We were hair and makeup vendors for the day and the team came in and made sure we knew there was food for us and they checked on our team multiple times throughout the day. They were on top of the food and ensuring the bridal party was fed and had everything they needed. I felt very welcome and that they truly cared about the experience everyone had while on property!

Venue considerations

  • Additional event staff required
  • No in-house catering options
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center was the perfect venue for our Studio Ghibli themed wedding. They’re a non-profit, so expect a 2-3 day response time when emailing, but Kyra was super friendly and helpful throughout the planning process. It’s one of the only affordable BYOB venues in Austin with several indoor and outdoor spaces, plus furniture included - a great value. Our guests visiting from out of town loved exploring the beautiful native plant garden and gift shop. FYI, the venue is open to the public until 4 PM which leaves a tight decorating timeline for setup. There are also lower prices during weekdays and off-season. LBJ is owned by UT so they have a strict approved catering list - catering also MUST serve the alcohol (keep that in mind before booking). We chose PEJ as our caterer and the BBQ was delicious! Late night snacks don’t have to be from the approved list, but LBJ does require approval in advance. We love LBJ and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams at this stunning Austin landmark.

I cannot say enough about how amazing our experience working with Pecan Springs Ranch was. The venue is gorgeous and offers so many different locations to have pictures taken throughout the night to give you tons of variety. They had multiple ceremony site locations and when we wanted to do something a little different they were happy to work with us and get everything just right. The grounds are immaculately kept and everything was in bloom for our April wedding, adding even more color. They were prompt with communication and very straight forward on the terms of the contract. Their preferred vendor list helped us to find many of the vendors we ended up working with which was super helpful as well. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue if you are hoping to have an outdoor ceremony with a beautiful indoor reception space. The bridal cottage was also the perfect place to get ready making wedding day even easier as we were already on location for hair & make-up!!

  • Unique barn setting
  • Bridal suite on site
  • Pets can join the celebration

Rambling Rose Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding! The unique, all-outdoor space is absolutely stunning, with majestic and organic landscaping that created a magical atmosphere. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was—and they especially loved getting to pet the horses and donkeys during cocktail hour, which added such a fun and memorable touch. We opted for the fire pit experience to offer s'mores for the kids, and it was a huge hit! Sandy and Morgan were incredibly flexible and accommodating, helping us bring our vision to life, including the use of confetti poppers. We also loved having the convenience of getting ready on-site in their bride and groom suites, which made the day stress-free. The outdoor lighting was just perfect, and with the addition of candles on the tables, the event couldn’t have been more romantic. The only required vendor is their bartenders, and we had a good experience with them. Sandy and Morgan were wonderful to work with—they were communicative, professional, and collaborated seamlessly with our coordinator. We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Rambling Rose Ranch and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and breathtaking wedding venue!

  • Indoor & outdoor

Star Hill is a re-creation of a Texas Hill Country community typical of the early 1900s. All of the buildings have been relocated from around the state and carefully restored. Star Hill is centered around the historic Pontotoc Chapel, which has hosted thousands of public worship services and weddings since we opened in the beautiful Hill Country in 2004.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Multiple event spaces
  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Wheelchair accessible

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space
Not only did my wife & I get married here (twice, thanks to the covid shutdown!) & have our son baptized in Star Hill's Chapel, but I've also worked with the Star Hill family as a wedding cake vendor for over a decade. I can say without hesitation that it's my favorite venue to work with & a consistently stunning backdrop for your most special celebrations. Matt, Adam, & Renee are so easy to work with & adopt every couple into their family. They're loving & genuinely care for their clients, which is rare in such a booming industry. On top of their good character, the pricing is fair, the property offers a wide array of charming indoor & outdoor options, & they make it easy to either hand-pick each of your vendors or receive vetted recommendations from their list of preferred vendors. Our wedding guests still talk about this amazing venue 3 years later!
