The Terrace Club 

5.0

Dripping Springs, TX
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Offer

Located in the charming Texas Hill Country, now known as The Wedding Capital of Texas, The Terrace Club is the perfect place to host your wedding. Only 30 minutes from Downtown Austin and located conveniently right off the highway, we are the original venue in Dripping Springs and have seen more than 20 years of couples say “I Do” in front of the breathtaking Hill Country sunsets! With two beautiful ceremony sites, as well as a stunning ballroom with 300 degrees of views, we pride ourselves in not being a rustic venue, but instead offering a beautiful, romantic and elegant atmosphere for you to start your forever!

I will start off saying that even now, over a month after the wedding we are still hearing from guests how much they loved in the wedding and a huge piece of that obviously was the Terrace Club. We had a great experience working with everyone involved and really felt that they cared that we had the best day. The inclusive package was wonderful and made things as easy as they could be when it came to decorations and planning. They thought of everything when it came down to the details for the big day and it all went off without a hitch. I only have positive things to say! Thank you Marlana and Hunter!

The Carrington 

5.0

Buda, TX
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,350

Nestled on Buda's Historic Main St. The Carrington is a boutique venue, filled with charm and warmth. Complete with indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for intimate family gatherings or medium sized weddings.

We really struggled to find a venue in the Austin area that we liked. Venues tended to be ultra-rustic farmhouses, or ultra-contemporary spaces with no charm, neither of which are our vibe. Anything we did like was priced absurdly high and booked through 2025. Then we found The Carrington and are SO happy we did. We were looking for a place that could provide a cozy-yet-elevated, intimate dinner party atmosphere for our wedding, and The Carrington was exactly that. It had so much charm and character, and the 3 distinct spaces (indoor, ceremony side yard, and backyard) were perfect for creating a natural flow from cocktail hour, to ceremony, to dinner, to dancing. The convenience of the bridal suite upstairs and the guest house next door were a massive plus, too. Our guests gave rave reviews of the venue. We had a really positive experience working with the staff-- particularly with Emily, who was so helpful, kind, and easy-going. The laid-back and flexible attitude of The Carrington team helped make wedding planning so much less stressful. A lot of venues we toured had rigid rules and functioned like wedding factories, not leaving much space for the unique touches we wanted. The Carrington staff were totally open to our ideas and requests, and we were able to handcraft our perfect event. Lastly, the price was unbeatable. I still can't believe how much bang for our buck we got at The Carrington. The wedding industry can feel extremely financially predatory, so I am so grateful to them for providing an affordable option that didn't sacrifice quality. The price of the venue was single-handedly what kept us from going over budget. I would 100% recommend The Carrington, but will note a few things to consider: - We had a spring wedding so the grass and landscaping were fully green and in bloom. During summer and winter you may need more florals/decor to liven up the outdoor space. - There is a train right by the venue with an unpredictable schedule, so there's a chance it will go by during your ceremony. We lucked out and didn't have that happen, but it was on our minds!

If you are looking for an outdoor venue in the Hill Country, The Wildflower Barn is hands down the most gorgeous place to have an event. Their team is absolutely wonderful, easy to communicate with, & so helpful; they answered all my questions! We took advantage of the items they rent for venues; tables, chairs, archway, etc. We also paid for their Walk-Away package, what a deal to have extra people to help with clean up towards the end of the event! It was an absolutely amazing experience! We hope we have to host another event in the future just so we can use their venue again!

Texas Rock House 

5.0

San Marcos, TX
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,095

Texas Rock House is a labor of love. My grandparents built the house and barns in the 1940's as a working farm for their family. My mother was the youngest of seven children that grew up here. I grew up almost across the street with my mom (Joyce), daddy (Buddy), and brother (Larry). Larry and I spent almost every Friday night here - listening to his records on Grandma's old record player or sitting on the back porch swing counting the number of cars on the trains as they passed by. Whether you are looking for a memorable barn wedding venue for your special day, a unique event space for your corporate meeting, or a beautiful place to celebrate one of life's special moments, the Texas Rock House is the place to be! I (and my family) have had many wonderful memories in this place - and hope you do too!

We had our wedding at Texas Rock House and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is gorgeous with its rustic charm and spacious layout. Throughout the planning process, Erin and her staff were extremely helpful, communicative, and available to answer any questions we had. They were positive, hardworking, organized, and so reliable - I trusted them completely to help our big day run smoothly. The venue was decorated beautifully and every detail was perfect. Texas Rock House was the ideal setting for our wedding and truly made our day special. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough!

The venue did all the heavy lifting with chairs and tables to accommodate our guests and they worked really well with our coordinator and other vendors on the day of. It was an absolute blast. Not the mention the property is gorgeous and so well-maintained!
