Our wedding at Morgan Creek Barn was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire MCB team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. Danielle, our planner, was incredible throughout the entire process. She kept everything organized, on track, and stress-free, ensuring every detail was completed on time so our wedding day could run seamlessly. On the day of the wedding, we worked with Carrie as our day-of coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing. She handled the timeline and logistics flawlessly, allowing us to stay calm, present, and fully enjoy every moment of the day and night. We also had a wonderful experience with Design Haus through Morgan Creek Barn. The floral arrangements were stunning and exceeded our expectations—they truly brought our vision to life.

It was the perfect venue, supported by an exceptional team that genuinely cares about making your day special.

The French Romanesque style Chateau Bellevue dates all the way back to the year 1874 when Harvey and Catherine North built the estate, which was subsequently acquired by different individuals until it finally became the charming historic wedding venue that it is today. On your wedding day you will feel as if you and your guests have been whisked away to an elegant French estate. This venue features gorgeous arches and hand-carved woodwork that add special touches to any style or sized wedding ceremony. You have access to spaces such as the Chateau Ballroom and the Evans Dining Room. In addition to these indoor spaces, you can also use the porches and courtyard found outdoors. Regardless of which space you choose, you will be able to revel in the old world charm while still being able to enjoy a chic style and the comforts of modern conveniences. In addition to ceremonies and receptions, these sites are also perfect for hosting wedding showers, engagement parties, and rehearsal dinners.

Chateau Bellevue was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we first contacted them, the staff was incredibly quick to respond and personable in their communication. We knew right away that they would be a great fit. On the day of the wedding, they exceeded our expectations - the venue looked stunning with the table and chair setup they provided, and having their two huge parking lots in downtown Austin was an absolute lifesaver. Our wedding party was even able to park overnight and walk to the nearby bar district after the reception. This hidden gem of a venue is not only historic and charming, but also an incredible value. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. I would highly recommend Chateau Bellevue to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding experience.

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!!

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.

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!!!

The University of Texas Golf Club was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From start to finish, the director was available, knowledgeable, and kind, making suggestions, keeping us on track, and helping to make a stressful wedding planning process less so. We appreciated their efficient and thorough communication style, and especially loved that the club was a 'one stop shop' of sorts already having tables and chairs, decor options, vendor recommendations, and a gorgeous setting. Everyone had the best time, and we still hear about how remarkable that day was (as well as the amazing food). We wouldn't hesitate to have another event at UTGC!

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!

We honestly don’t even know where to begin because our experience with this venue was truly unforgettable. From our rehearsal dinner at their chophouse location to our wedding at Flintrock Falls, every single moment felt supported, seamless, and so genuinely cared for. From the very beginning, everyone we worked with was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. They walked us through every step of the planning process and made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and exciting instead. We truly felt like we were in the best hands the entire time. The grounds were also absolutely beautiful and so well-maintained—it truly added to the magic of the day. You can even see in some of the images how perfectly kept and picturesque everything was, which made such a difference in the overall atmosphere. So many details were thoughtfully included with the venue—tables and seating, linens, a dance floor, and beautiful real plateware, flatware, and glassware—which made everything feel elevated and effortless. Their team also handled both setup and breakdown for our wedding, which was something we will forever be grateful for. That level of care meant everything to us. Because of them, our families didn’t have to worry about staying late to clean up or handle logistics—we were all able to simply stay together, soak in every moment, and keep celebrating the happiest day of our lives. And the food… it was absolutely incredible. We are still hearing from guests that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and we couldn’t agree more. This team went above and beyond in every possible way to make our wedding feel perfect, and we will always be grateful for the role they played in such an important chapter of our lives. We truly cannot recommend them enough.
