As the groom, I can't help but share what an incredible experience we had having our wedding at Wanderlust Wine Company. The staff onsite were not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable about the extensive selection of wines they offered. The proximity to the city added an extra layer of convenience, making it an ideal location for our special day. What sets Wanderlust Wine Company apart is the flexibility of the space. We were able to host both our ceremony and reception in this beautiful venue, providing a seamless flow for our guests. The versatility allowed us to tailor the event to our preferences, making it an even more personalized experience. A huge shoutout to the venue coordinator, who played a crucial role in ensuring the success of our wedding day. Their recommendations for outside vendors, including entertainment, catering, floral, and a photographer, were spot on. Each vendor they suggested contributed to making our day incredibly special, and we couldn't be more grateful for the guidance. From start to finish, my fiancée and I had an amazing wedding experience at Wanderlust Wine Company. I wholeheartedly recommend booking them for your special day – you won't be disappointed!

My wife and I had our wedding party at Fast Friends in November and it was amazing! David and Brandy were so easy to work with and flexible with pretty much anything we were wanting to do. Their downstairs has a unique aesthetic with a beautiful bar and cool speakeasy room. They have a music system to set the tone which they set to our preferred genre/favorite band. The inside is a huge space which opens up through a garage door to a patio with a garden and streamed lights. It’s truly a gem and we’re so lucky we got to have our party here. We had around 80 guests and there was room for many more! They even hooked us up with discounted merch for give aways. Highly recommend!!!

We had our wedding welcome party at Pinthouse Brewing on South Lamar and it was the perfect location for it! We rented the upstairs space that had its own bar, seating, and a view that overlooked both the downstairs section and part of the brewery. Throughout the event, we had our own bartenders upstairs that could serve drinks as well as a buffet made by Pinthouse for the event–each and every one of our guests raved about the food and beer! Leading up to the event, Stephanie was immensely helpful in answering our questions and getting us through the paperwork. She very kindly responded to our often extensive emails and talked with us on the phone whenever we needed additional clarification. The night of the event went off without a hitch thanks to the team there and we are very grateful to them for helping us put on such a fun night. We would highly recommend this Pinthouse for events!

We only held our reception there, but you can also have a full ceremony. Madilyn is fantastic and took care of us the whole night, and made sure everything ran smoothly (fed us, got us water, coordinated with the DJ, etc). We also held a silent disco the last hour which was a first for them and soooo much fun!

I absolutely loved my wedding at hotel ella! First off, the hotel itself is so beautiful and different and was the perfect vibe we wanted. The people working there are so sweet and easy to work with, and because it’s smaller everyone is involved and wants to help make the day perfect. I couldn’t picture a more beautiful location, and for our slightly smaller wedding (110-115) it was absolutely perfect!

We booked this hotel due to it being close to a meeting we had that afternoon. We asked for an early check in to iron clothing and they most definitely obliged! Jacoby at the front desk was so incredibly helpful and accommodating, he even helped me print important documents out while also assisting new guests checking in. He was so informative and friendly, 50 stars to him! Your valet team, WOW, some of the most outstanding gentlemen we have ever met! They were so eager to help us and accommodate our needs, didn't take more than 3 minutes to retrieve our car when we needed it! Jordan and Ricky and the rest of the team were so sweet and helpful! The staff here would be the reason we returned being Hilton Honors Members for 24 years now! Lucia and the chef upstairs made incredible wings and served us prosecco and a Stella while we waited for our food. We enjoyed her energy and attentiveness, as well as the chef being so friendly! Great place to stay! Mind you that valet is the only way to park in the garage below and it is 67ish dollars for 8 hours or more but we'll worth it! Highly recommend!

My husband and I used the hotel for our room block and wedding...it was the best weekend of our lives! Erin and Lexi with the event planning team were simply unreal to work with. They were responsive, efficient, and made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed. There was a mechanical issue with the AC in the Milton suite that we were using to get ready in and Erin made sure that there was multiple portable ACs in the room so we weren't warm....we were actually cold, ha! She figured out a solution in 0.2 seconds and made sure we were kept in the loop. The food at the wedding was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Every guest was saying how it was incredible and came out HOT (which is a big deal, ha!). The drinks were flowing and soooo tasty. The staff who worked the wedding were kind, fast, and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I also had drinks. Wedding cake was extremely yummy too!! The hotel's venue space was ICONIC. As a couple who live in Austin, we wanted our guests to get the Austin vibe. From the lobby, courtyard, surrounding restaurants in the hotel, hotel bar, reception space....hotel rooms...everything was perfect. The customer service at this hotel is top tier for guests staying at the hotel AND for wedding couples. I highly recommend any and all couples wanting to get married in Austin to book this space. You WILL be happy. Your guests will also love to stay here with the room block!!

About wedding venues in Smithville, TX

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

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.

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:
