From start to finish, Erika and the team at Prairie Chapel Place were fantastic! Erika was very easy to talk to and very responsive, giving me options that fit my needs for our wedding day. Anytime I had a question or needed something, she replied back instantly. The space and venue for the price was amazing - the cottage was immaculate. The onsite coordinator, Emily, helped take so much stress off of me the day of and made my day so smooth and perfect. Emily and Erika contributed so much to our special day.

We have nothing but positive things to say about our time at Lucky Arrow. It’s been a little over a year since our wedding, and looking back as we write this review makes us wish we could do it all over again. To help give a sense of just how great this venue is, we’ll break down our review into a few categories. Location & Facilities: We were looking for something close to Austin, yet still felt like an escape from the city. From the quaint charm of Dripping Springs’ downtown to the stunning hill country views, to the modern cabins and accessible walking paths, it truly felt like we had traveled to our own private oasis. The main highlights of the venue—besides the cabins themselves—were the Overlook, Event Center, Beer Garden, trails, and the nearby Brewery & Winery (all within walking distance). The restaurant wasn’t open at the time of our wedding, but we’re sure it’s fantastic. We really took full advantage of the Beer Garden during our time at Lucky Arrow. We hosted a Halloween party there, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to decorate the space to fit the theme. It was a blast! We also hosted our wedding breakfasts there for all our guests, which made for such a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The only rule was to leave it as we found it—and we made sure to do just that. It’s such a versatile space, and we loved how it added to the overall experience. We could have stayed for so much longer and still wouldn’t have had enough time to fully enjoy everything the site has to offer. Our guests stayed two days on-site with us, but if you can swing it, we’d highly recommend three full days: arrival day, wedding day, and a fun after-wedding day. You’ll want to keep the celebration going—trust us! Accommodations: The cabins were exactly what we were looking for, and the photos online are an accurate representation. We wanted a modern and comfortable stay while still feeling immersed in nature, and the cabins delivered on that perfectly. Everything was clean, and surprisingly, we didn’t have any uninvited bug guests inside! Customer Service: One of the areas where Lucky Arrow truly shines is customer service. Every staff member we worked with was so kind and helpful. As you might expect, planning a wedding can be stressful, and it makes such a difference to work with people who genuinely care and take the time to listen to your needs. The biggest advocate for us at Lucky Arrow was Rachel Crocker, the Events Manager. She joined the team closer to our wedding date, and we’re so glad she did! This is the time when communication ramps up, and you’re bombarded with questions to finalize all the details. Rachel was incredibly prompt and thoughtful in her responses, which gave us confidence that everything would go smoothly on our big day. She really shined when working with our Wedding Coordinators to implement Plan B for rain, which involved coordinating the setup of a tent and adjusting the location of both our ceremony and reception.

From start to finish, our experience at The Hidden Jewel was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and beautifully landscaped grounds that created the perfect backdrop for our special day. We held our ceremony outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene atmosphere, and it felt like a dream come true. The sunset in the background made our wedding photos the most beautiful I have ever seen! The staff at The Hidden Jewel went above and beyond. Our wedding coordinator was professional, organized, and incredibly attentive. She took care of every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and we were able to relax and enjoy the day without a worry in the world. The catering was outstanding—our guests raved about the food, from the plated salad to the main course, and our cake area was stunning! The reception space was elegant, spacious, and versatile, allowing us to personalize the decor to reflect our style. Whether it was the twinkling lights on the walls or the cozy sitting area out front or tables on the porch for guests, or the Photo Booth outside it allowed our guests to mingle freely. The atmosphere was exactly what we envisioned. The venue’s attention to detail, from the perfect lighting to the perfect sound system, made our night truly unforgettable. Everyone was so impressed with the ease of having everything in one place. We can’t recommend The Hidden Jewel enough for any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and memorable wedding day. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, exceptional service, and incredible value, The Hidden Jewel is the place to be.

Absolutely stunning and so easy to work with. The venue itself truly doesn’t need much décor—the chandeliers and overall style speak for themselves. The chapel is just as beautiful, and the on-site lodging was a huge plus. We worked with both Megan and Libby throughout the process, and Megan was our venue coordinator on wedding day. She went above and beyond and was incredibly hands-on. I would 1000% recommend them and hiring their in house coordinator to run your wedding day. (we hired externally and wish I just hired them)

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.

Legacy at Wrenwood Ranch 

5.0

Johnson City, TX
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,500

At Wrenwood Ranch, we didn’t just build a venue — we designed a modern industrial farmhouse that’s a blank slate for your vision. Most venues force you into their style and rush you out after 5 hours. We flipped that model. Here, you get a space that molds to you—whether bold, timeless, or something no one’s seen before—plus the freedom of time and onsite lodging. With 7 private cottages that sleep 18 adults, your family and friends stay steps away from the party. That means no shuttle chaos, no stress, no 6 a.m. checkouts. Instead, you get the full weekend: arrive the night before, relax, wake up on the ranch, and savor coffee with loved ones the morning after. It’s not just a wedding day; it’s a stress-free, all-in-one experience that feels effortless. Bottom line: at Wrenwood Ranch you don’t just rent a building—you secure a weekend that delivers 10x the value for half the cost of other Hill Country venues.

I recently attended a wedding of a dear friend at the Legacy Venue near Johnson City. What a beautiful venue! So much room, great acoustics and such openness. The clean white walls gave the bride room to express herself with her colorful decor. One thing I truly loved was the bride’s room upstairs….a very comfortable and accommodating lounge-type dressing room for the bride and her attendants! The owners really thought of everything when they planned this! The classiness of this venue was perfect for this beautiful wedding. Would I recommend this place to others? In a heartbeat!!

The Retreat at Sugarhill is absolutely stunning. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was the right place, but it still exceeded every expectation we had. The new bridal suite is beautiful, spacious, and perfect for a bridal party to get ready comfortably. They also have cabins available on-site, which are great for out-of-town guests or those who want to stay close by. In our case, the groomsmen stayed in a cabin the night before, and our bride and groom used a cabin on their wedding night, which made everything seamless and special. Crystal and Sean, the owners, are truly the most accommodating people we’ve ever met. If we had a vision, they brought it to life—always with a smile. It rained for most of our wedding day, but you would never have known it by how perfectly everything turned out. They went above and beyond to make sure the day was still everything we dreamed of. They handled vendor coordination on the day of the wedding, which allowed us, as the parents of the bride, to spend the day with our kids and not worry about last-minute details. The venue provides access to a décor room full of beautiful options, which saved us so much money and time. From booking to the moment we walked out the door after the wedding was over, they were only minutes away whenever we needed anything. Anytime we made a special request, their response was always something like, “We haven’t done that before, but let’s see how we can make it work.” If you’re looking for a venue that is breathtaking, flexible, deeply personal, and run by people who genuinely care about your day—The Retreat at Sugarhill is the place to be. 100% recommended!

From the moment we started planning our wedding, The Reserve on Cypress Creek was great to work with. Their communication was always detailed and responsive, and they made it easy to schedule tours and get our questions answered. The natural beauty of their venue was simply stunning - the lush greenery and serene creek provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, even finding a small round table for our wedding cake and providing the option to cool our reception tent with A/C as a last minute addition. We also loved the custom photobooth logo they created with our names. The Reserve's "dream team" vendor package for DJ, bartender, and security was a huge help, and we were very happy with the bartender and security services we used. I can’t vouch for the DJ as we just had a family friend manage a playlist and speaker/mic (sound level meter in the tent was great!!). Overall, The Reserve on Cypress Creek exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding. Guests are raving about how beautiful the venue was.

When my husband and I first started searching for a wedding venue, we knew we didn’t want something that was just for the day or night. We wanted a place where we and our closest guests could stay overnight and enjoy a fabulous breakfast together the next morning. Thankfully, we found this perfect venue. Tracy and Jennifer were incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. Jennifer, in particular, was so kind and accommodating, allowing me to visit the venue while it was unoccupied to do mock setups before the big day. This level of flexibility and support meant the world to us. I am forever grateful that we came across this venue. It provided the perfect setting for our special day and the warmest hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue that goes above and beyond

Cactus Moon Lodge 

5.0

Dripping Springs, TX
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor & indoor

Set high on a hilltop only 30 miles from Austin, Cactus Moon Lodge is designed to function as a single entity, with a main lodge and individual casitas for your enjoyment. Connected by breezeways, porches and walkways, it offers you and your guests options to celebrate and relax together, but also have privacy when you desire it. Our space features large stargazing decks, a sunken Spanish-style courtyard, a horizon pool, and views for miles over a ravine, canyon and the hill country. Upon arrival, you’ll remember what it’s like to exhale.

We had actually ruled out the idea of getting married in Austin because we could not seem to find the right option for our intimate wedding of about 55 guests. We stumbled on Cactus Moon through a recommendation I found on a blog. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to get married there. It was a dream come true and offered a lot of functionality to host our rehearsal dinner and hangover brunch over the course of a weekend. The property speaks for itself. You have to see it in person to really understand the layout, but everything was designed so thoughtfully. The furniture and tables/chairs the venue has on site are also really interesting and high end pieces. We hosted our wedding dinner on the deck while watching the sunset and it was everything. The views go for days, which is not super common in the area. Liz, the owner, is truly so kind and was a great resource. Then they hired a venue manager, Bri, and that was great because we has someone to be a little more in the weeds with the details of our wedding day. This is a special place and an amazing place to host a special occasion. We loved it so much - there just might be anniversary festivities here in the future!!

I could not say enough great things about the Hideout and their staff. The venue was absolutely stunning in November with the changing colors of the trees. The rooms were clean and cozy, we had run of the whole venue and it created the most magical weekend for our family and friends. The only downside to the whole weekend we experienced was the planner you are required to use. On top of being very hard to contact and when you did chat she was often rude or short, and made it seem like she was often annoyed by questions I had. We had our wedding planned for a year and a half but thursday before we were supposed to have a rehearsal on Friday of she told me she just couldn’t get anyone “out to the middle of no where” on a Friday night for our rehearsal so I was very disappointed in that. Although she is the owner of the company so she was not the day of planner we got and the ladies who came from her company day of were absolutely wonderful. Dealing with Johnell with Clearly Classy events just added stress where it was not needed, but her staff and the staff at Hideout were so helpful when I did have these struggles.

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. 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
200 guests$55,433
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.

Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere.

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.

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.
