Beth and Chris are truly the heart and soul of what made our wedding so special. From the moment we booked our venue last December to our wedding day in June, they made everything feel effortless, personal, and full of warmth. Both are incredibly kind, organized, and attentive—always going above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. Their team did a flawless job bringing our vision to life; every photo, décor piece, and little touch was placed perfectly. We especially loved how thoughtful they were in allowing our sweet pup, Hershey, to be part of our pictures outside the venue—it meant so much to us! The entire day flowed beautifully, our guests had the best time, and everything was coordinated to perfection. We are endlessly grateful to Beth and Chris for making our wedding day as magical and memorable as we had always dreamed.

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.

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.

We had our Indian wedding in March of 2024 and it was a dream come true thanks to Hotel Viata. We had multiple events spread over a couple of venues but Hotel Viata hosted our guests the entire weekend as well as several of our events. We had a LGBTQ Indian wedding and they truly rose to the occasion. Our main contact Kelsey was FANTASTIC, but we truly received top notch service from everyone-from the folks that welcomed us at the desk to the bartenders and servers at our events. They went above and beyond to learn about our traditions and make each of events special. Honestly, we felt like extended family and our guests raved about the experience. The love, openness and celebratory affection they radiated our entire weekend…well that was priceless. Within their ability, they truly tried to make all of our wishes come true. One example of their kindness was when Kelsey went above and beyond and grabbed food for one of our best friend’s young kids…just because we wanted to make sure she had something that she would definitely eat. We’ll always remember our wedding with love and fondness….it was such a special time. And we’ll always be grateful to Hotel Viata for making our 20-year long dream come true. Highly recommend them for any of your special events.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking Hill Country, Allegro offers a choice of stunning outdoor ceremony spaces as well as our charming chapel.

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • Not wheelchair accessible

My husband and I found Allegro while searching for venues in the Hill Country, and Allegro had just reopened under new management. We scheduled a "sip and see" with venue manager, Amber, and absolutely fell in love with everything about it! This venue is awesome as everything is right there including bridal/ groom suites, some lodging accommodations if you need them, the chapel, covered cocktail hour space, and a large reception space. Allegro has everything you love about hill country, with lots of space, Texas charm, and natural beauty. Truly, the selling point was Grace chapel, where the natural beauty won us over. Amber and her team were fantastic throughout the planning process, offering us suggested vendors when needed, inviting us to open house/ vendor gatherings, etc. and allowing us to schedule an additional tour with our family who wanted to see the space as well. The Allegro team added a lot of really great options throughout our planning as well, including some decor pieces, greenery wall for backdrops, candle votives, and GOLD CHARGERS! It is also close enough to the hotels in dripping springs, so guests have options on where to stay. Pro tip: book blocks as soon as possible! Additionally, if you have a larger bridal party, the bridal suite is fairly tight for 10 people, so utilizing another space could be helpful. All in all, Allegro surpassed our expectations, and we could not be happier with how our wedding went back in October 2023. When I tell you to book this venue.. really, BOOK THIS VENUE, you will not regret it - with beautiful grounds and the most amazing team committed to making your wedding the best day ever. I am so thankful we came across Allegro and will recommend it to everyone! Side note: the venue is undergoing renovations currently which I think will somehow make this dreamy venue even more beautiful for future brides.

We have nothing but positive things to say about our time at Lucky Arrow. It’s been a little over a year since our wedding, and looking back as we write this review makes us wish we could do it all over again. To help give a sense of just how great this venue is, we’ll break down our review into a few categories. Location & Facilities: We were looking for something close to Austin, yet still felt like an escape from the city. From the quaint charm of Dripping Springs’ downtown to the stunning hill country views, to the modern cabins and accessible walking paths, it truly felt like we had traveled to our own private oasis. The main highlights of the venue—besides the cabins themselves—were the Overlook, Event Center, Beer Garden, trails, and the nearby Brewery & Winery (all within walking distance). The restaurant wasn’t open at the time of our wedding, but we’re sure it’s fantastic. We really took full advantage of the Beer Garden during our time at Lucky Arrow. We hosted a Halloween party there, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to decorate the space to fit the theme. It was a blast! We also hosted our wedding breakfasts there for all our guests, which made for such a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The only rule was to leave it as we found it—and we made sure to do just that. It’s such a versatile space, and we loved how it added to the overall experience. We could have stayed for so much longer and still wouldn’t have had enough time to fully enjoy everything the site has to offer. Our guests stayed two days on-site with us, but if you can swing it, we’d highly recommend three full days: arrival day, wedding day, and a fun after-wedding day. You’ll want to keep the celebration going—trust us! Accommodations: The cabins were exactly what we were looking for, and the photos online are an accurate representation. We wanted a modern and comfortable stay while still feeling immersed in nature, and the cabins delivered on that perfectly. Everything was clean, and surprisingly, we didn’t have any uninvited bug guests inside! Customer Service: One of the areas where Lucky Arrow truly shines is customer service. Every staff member we worked with was so kind and helpful. As you might expect, planning a wedding can be stressful, and it makes such a difference to work with people who genuinely care and take the time to listen to your needs. The biggest advocate for us at Lucky Arrow was Rachel Crocker, the Events Manager. She joined the team closer to our wedding date, and we’re so glad she did! This is the time when communication ramps up, and you’re bombarded with questions to finalize all the details. Rachel was incredibly prompt and thoughtful in her responses, which gave us confidence that everything would go smoothly on our big day. She really shined when working with our Wedding Coordinators to implement Plan B for rain, which involved coordinating the setup of a tent and adjusting the location of both our ceremony and reception.

Canyonwood Ridge is a Hill Country Wedding and Events venue in the Austin area, located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Austin in the "Wedding Capital of Texas" of Dripping Springs. The 12,000 square foot venue sits on a ridge top wrapped in oak trees with scenic hill country views and was designed specifically for weddings. The outdoor ceremony site, as well as the indoor Chapel, offer planning flexibility and picturesque backdrops for a wedding of up to 300. The Chapel enables an indoor ceremony to protect against the unpredictable weather in central Texas, and is adjacent to our large Reception Hall, in order to provide a seamless transition from ceremony to reception. Canyonwood Ridge is unique and romantic with its dramatic views and Hill Country elegance, but maintains a balance of simplicity and flexibility for couples to plan their perfect day.

Canyonwood Ridge has it all! A gorgeous hill country setting, a beautiful, light-filled chapel and a spacious and dramatic reception hall with windows looking out over the hilltop, all in one building! At this all-in-one venue, weather is not an issue! Add to that an amazing coordination team and there's no reason to host your wedding anywhere else. Whether you’ve had your wedding planned since you were little, or if you are starting from square one, you’ll be in very good hands at Canyonwood Ridge and with Amanda (@Amanda_Hepner) and Amanda Blue Events (ABE) as your wedding coordinator. We are still coming off our ‘post-wedding’ high and continue to receive compliments from our guests who said it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. And we were fortunate to work with Amanda Hepner at Amanda Blue Events who works with Canyonwood Ridge and is a Wedding Coordinator Extraordinaire! Amanda was our advisor, ‘architect’, anchor, advocate, and ally during our whole wedding process. She played a key role in making our wedding a memorable event; and what a wedding it was! From the overall ‘big picture’ down to the minute details needed for a successful event, Canyonwood Ridge, Amanda and her team worked together to make the event spectacular. We highly recommend using Amanda Blue Events for your wedding coordination and hosting your wedding event at Canyonwood Ridge. Check out the Canyonwood Ridge website; everything there is picture perfect, literally. And superb planning by Amanda Blue Events means that your special day will be one that is well-planned and worry-free, and most importantly, one that you will always remember. Our deepest appreciation goes to Canyonwood Ridge, and to Amanda and her very capable team. Please call them or go see them at Canyonwood Ridge. You’ll be so glad you did.

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at Deep Eddy Distillery and truly couldn’t have been happier with the experience! We went in sight unseen and were a bit nervous, but Stacee was incredibly helpful from the start—she sent us detailed videos and answered all of our questions so we could feel totally confident. The space ended up exceeding all expectations. One of the biggest highlights included the included photo booth—it was a hit with our guests! Beyond that, the staff was warm, friendly, and made everything feel easy and welcoming, which was such a relief with so many out-of-town guests. We also really appreciated how flexible the venue is. It’s one of the only spots in the area that has an indoor space with A/C (so important in Texas heat!), the ability to bring in your own caterer, which gave us so much freedom to personalize the dinner, and a layout that works great for both small and large groups. The whole experience felt relaxed, fun, and personal—exactly what we hoped for. Can’t recommend Deep Eddy and Stacee enough for anyone planning an event in the area!

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day. The state is home to countless venues that showcase authentic Texas character while still matching your personal style. Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests. Many Texas venues incorporate unique regional touches you won't find elsewhere; live country music that gets everyone dancing, mouthwatering BBQ stations and custom boot favors that celebrate local heritage. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for. The national average runs about $6,500-$12,000 which represents roughly 25% of your total wedding budget. Your overall wedding costs will depend largely on how many people you're inviting to share your special day:

Guest CountAverage Total Wedding Budget
50 guests$19,410
100 guests$32,365
150 guests$44,545
200 guests$55,433
250 guests$66,322
300 guests$77,211
In Texas specifically, venues typically account for about 16% of your total wedding budget with couples spending an average of $6,932. This gives you plenty of room in your budget to customize other elements of your celebration that matter most to you and your partner.

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away. If you're considering Houston, you'll find venues that thoughtfully incorporate bayou landscapes alongside sophisticated cosmopolitan amenities. Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere. Fort Worth venues perfectly blend Western heritage with modern conveniences for a uniquely Texan experience. November emerges as the most popular month for venue inquiries across the state, so you might want to plan accordingly if you're interested in this popular time frame.

How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Texas Venue?

Texas couples typically book their wedding venues about 16 months (or 457 days) before their wedding date. November stands out as the most popular month for venue inquiries so planning early is essential if you're considering this timeframe. This advanced booking timeline helps you secure your preferred date since popular venues often fill their calendars far in advance especially for prime weekend dates. Booking early also allows you to lock in current pricing before annual increases that many venues implement. Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in Texas?

Madera Estates in Conroe stands out for its commitment to accessibility with fully paved event spaces that accommodate wheelchair navigation throughout the property. You can host up to 330 guests here and the venue is frequently praised for physically walking through accessibility needs during the planning process. You'll also find excellent accessible options at Jennings Trace near Houston which offers single-level celebration spaces. Hummingbird Hill Weddings in Chappell Hill prioritizes inclusive design throughout their venue and The Preserve at Canyon Lake features wheelchair-friendly pathways connecting all major celebration areas. These venues ensure all your guests can fully participate in your special day regardless of mobility considerations.

Which Texas Wedding Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

The Bell Tower on 34th in Houston delivers exceptional dining experiences under Executive Chef Sergio Arellano. His international culinary team creates gourmet meals on-site that will impress even your most food-savvy guests. Food-focused couples should also consider Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin where you'll enjoy spectacular views alongside premium cuts of Texas beef. Cisco's Salsa Company near Tomball has built a reputation for their award-winning Mexican cuisine that adds authentic flavors to your celebration. Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in the Houston area offers a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience with tableside carving and a festival atmosphere your guests will remember long after the wedding day.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.

What Wedding Expenses Should You Budget for in Texas?

Beyond your venue there are several other key expenses to consider when planning a Texas wedding. For a typical 150-guest celebration your budget will likely break down this way:
