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!

Martindale Schoolhouse And Social Hall 

5.0

Martindale, TX
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $1,000

Built in 1921, the Martindale Schoolhouse is an official Texas Historical Landmark. The feeling of being inside a 100 year-old school building will transport you back in time to experience what a rural school was like over a century ago. The Martindale Schoolhouse is centrally located between Austin and San Antonio and is perfect for weddings, special events, weekend getaways, and outdoor excursions. First, there’s the expansive five-room villa that was once the original school. Carefully curated with art from around the world, the schoolhouse sleeps 14 and has been fully modernized with a large kitchen, multiple seating areas, a great lawn and a covered veranda with an outdoor fireplace. Next, there's the Martindale Social Hall. Perfect for wedding receptions, dances, corporate outings, you name it... all hosted under the sky and stars within the walls of the original school gymnasium. To top it off, the crystal clear San Marcos River is a short walk away .

There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful our wedding weekend was at Martindale. Craig and Wendi were incredible hosts and such a great people to work with. It was everything we hope it would be and more. 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!
