About this venue
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.

Mother of Hundreds Room
A chic, indoor flex space with boundless options
The Mother of Hundreds room is primarily used for lodging, but can be cleared for an indoor ceremony or dinner. It's a great rain plan option, but many brides pick it straight away for its blank canvas and beautiful wide open doors to accommodate their event design dreams.

Wedding @ Cactus Moon!
Cactus Moon is a magical place! From the incredible hill country views to the beautifully decorated casitas, the entire property is so well designed and thought out. It really has a special energy to it! On top of that, the Cactus Moon team is a pleasure to work with. Bri and Liz made everything seamless, from the first site visit, the initial booking, all the way through the event weekend. We feel so lucky to have hosted our wedding here and got the opportunity to stay on the amazing property, celebrating with our closest family and friends. We can’t wait to go back!
Unique venue for intimate wedding, we loved it!!
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!!
