Overall my experience working with Kaleigh at the WWI was great! She took a lot of the stress out of coordinating a wedding. We booked outside florals, photographers, suits, my dress, jewelry, entertainment, desserts and an officiant. They covered the rest. I didn’t feel it necessary to hire an outside planner to work with the vendors, I just did it myself. The only issues we faced were with the hotel itself, and as it turns out Kaleigh wasn’t even aware of what happened! I would book with them again if I had to do it all over. We had about 90 guests show up and it was pretty tight inside. I’d say this venue would seat 80 people comfortably.

AvantGarden (and Mariana, the owner) did a great job with our wedding, especially considering the extreme weather we experienced! We appreciated that the venue was mostly all-inclusive, especially when planning the event from out of town, and for a very reasonable price! The event space itself has a casual, fun vibe with plenty of room for our guests (175) to explore and excellent food and drinks. Many of our guests made a point to come up to us and tell us how much fun they had and how awesome the venue was, and we were shocked by how many people said the taco truck (venue recommendation) was the best wedding food they had ever had! The staff was great and made some excellent cocktails and I also have to shout out DJ Dillon for bringing such a fun vibe to our karaoke after party (another Mariana recommendation). You do need to put your faith in Mariana and be prepared to "let go", however. If you're looking to be very hands-on and are particular about all the little details, prepare to be frustrated because that's not the way Mariana works. She has her own process and knows what will and will not work based on experience, and she can be tricky to get in touch with until closer to the wedding date. Ultimately, though, she came through and did an excellent job for us. Trust in Mariana! Overall, it was super helpful that AvantGarden took care of most of the wedding planning (including delivering our flowers to our off-site ceremony venue), and the space made for such a fun atmosphere during the reception. I would definitely recommend AvantGarden as a wedding venue, especially for couples who are looking for a less stuffy and more unique atmosphere and who are looking to be more hands-off in the planning process.

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!!

Harper Hill Ranch will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we were beyond ecstatic that our family and friends were able to see and experience the HHR magic!

Steve is a wonderful, generous host that is sure to make your day special by helping make sure you and your guests are attended to with drinks and Longhorn wrangling.

If there were ever things that needed attention before or during our day, the team at HHR and Niki took care of everything.

Our wedding was truly the most magical day! Barnett Estates was one of the first and only venues we toured because we absolutely fell in love. Weddings can be extremely expensive and we were worried about finding a beautiful venue that was in our budget. For the price point you get access to SO many different decorations that most venues don’t offer. Not to mention that the venue itself is stunning. After booking with them a lot of the stress is immediately taken away as they help you through every step of the way and are quick to respond if you reach out with any questions or concerns. We ended up booking with a lot of the vendors that they recommended and I’m so happy we did! The DJ was AMAZINGLY upbeat and kept the party going all night. The food they offered was delicious and we received so many compliments on it! The cake that we got through their bakery was delicious and they were super accommodating to allergies by offering a gluten free cake as well. The sparklers and fireworks we got for our grand entrance made us feel like we were in a fairy tale. The photographer they recommended didn’t miss a single moment and the photos ended up turning out beautiful. The day of the wedding we did have a small hiccup that caused our grand entrance time to be delayed but they were quick to get it sorted with minimal disruption. The rest of the day went off without a hitch and everything came together perfectly. Weeks later we still have friends and family telling us how it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and a lot of that is thanks to Barnett Estates. Overall we could not recommend Barnett Estates enough. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Inspiring Oaks was everything we were hoping it would be and more. Easily the most beautiful and scenic venue we saw in all of our searching. The property is huge - the main house, ceremony site, reception area, and everything in-between made for so many amazing pictures and memories. Being able to stay at the venue for the weekend was great in so many ways - it was so nice not having to worry about forgetting anything on the big day, it was great having a big space to hang out with close friends and family all weekend, and it was so packed with fun amenities that there was never a dull moment during our stay. Even with all of the features we loved about the property, one of the highlights of picking this venue was having Greg as our venue host. In every interaction with him he would go above and beyond to make sure that we had all of our questions answered, had all the tours we needed to feel comfortable about the big day, and put in the extra effort on our wedding weekend to make sure we (and our guests) could focus more on enjoying the weekend rather than venue logistics. He was a big part in making the experience as memorable as it was. I highly recommend this venue to anyone who enjoys hill-country backdrops, the background of every photo will look so amazing. I also recommend it if you're looking to make the most out of your wedding - instead of the normal experience of renting a venue for half a day, this will let you stretch out your wedding experience to a whole weekend with your closest friends and family.

Wow. We had our wedding here the past weekend and I don't even know where to begin! From the day we booked the Homestead to the day of our wedding everyone has been nothing short of exceptional! Alexis, the owner, is the most kind hearted person you will meet. You can tell she truly cares about her couples and wants to ensure you have a great experience. Alexis was thorough and very transparent with pricing. Many venues we looked at had a lot of hidden fees but at the Homestead they are upfront with everything which is very much appreciated. We scheduled a private tasting (only because the group tasting was on a later date that didn't work for us). We were so excited after we tried all of our food options. It was honestly so hard to choose because all of the options were so good. I was honestly pleasantly surprised. Fast forward to the wedding day and everyone of our guests complimented us for how great the food was! They served 232 people in 10 minutes. I swear the team came out of the kitchen like the avengers lol. Another big thing I appreciated was that Alexis and Loretta made sure the bride and groom had fresh appetizers served to us along with our signature cocktails after we took our family photos. I was NOT one of the brides that didn't eat on her wedding day. I ate a lot lol. AND they even boxed up fresh meals for us at the end of the night with two slices of our cake. We are so happy that we chose the Homestead! They truly made my dream wedding come true!

About wedding venues in Texas

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.

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.

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?

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.
