Austin gives you the best of both worlds; stunning Hill Country landscapes alongside a vibrant cultural scene that adds local character to your wedding day. You'll find distinctive limestone architecture providing unique backdrops while century-old oak trees create natural canopies for outdoor ceremonies. Downtown venues showcase Austin's musical roots with built-in stages where your live band can perform while Hill Country estates offer wildflower meadows bursting with bluebonnets in spring. Many venues even incorporate Austin's famous food truck culture into your reception dining so guests can enjoy authentic local flavors from smoky barbecue to artisanal tacos.

You'll typically spend about 16% of your wedding budget on an Austin venue ranging from $7,300 on the lower end to $8,900 for premium locations. This makes Austin a bit more affordable than the national average where venues cost $6,500-$12,000 or about 25% of your total wedding budget.

Your overall wedding budget will vary based on your guest count:

• 50 guests: $22,665

• 150 guests: $51,977
• 200 guests: $64,669
