Our event spaces

The Greenhouse

Posh conservatory meets whimsical treehouse. Checkered tile floors & lush greenery make it the perfect place to exchange vows.

The conservatory is an open-air greenhouse moved from Hyde Park to host life's most extraordinary and sacred moments. This space can feel both intimate and inviting. Inside the greenhouse, benches offer close-up seating for your inner circle and there's plenty of space on the lawn for guests to gather. During the warmer months, we keep the greenhouse stocked with plants, so it's pretty special on its own.

    Dreamy venue for vintage-lovers

    Lost Horizon Cider Mill has the romantic, intimate vibe that comes with a backyard wedding but the elevated touches you'd look for in a winery. The venue itself is swanky yet quirky, with an art-deco-y, design-forward style. I love how each space created a special atmosphere—from the greenhouse to the star-gazing deck. We were able to truly customize it to reflect US. The custom labels created for our non-alcoholic drinks are just one example of the thoughtful, high-quality work they did to make our special day truly memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our wedding, and we highly recommend Lost Horizon Cider Mill to any couple looking for a unique and unforgettable venue.

    A touch of whimsy and magic!

    This is a super cool spot run by very dear people! It feels very down-to-earth, yet beautifully curated with a touch of whimsy and magic. And I love that they serve beverages crafted on-site - from the cider, to house-made non-alcoholic rum and seltzer. Highly recommend!

    Magical

    My son was recently married at Lost Horizon. I never write reviews (as I'm sure many father of the grooms don't) but this place felt so special, I want to tell the world! From the moment I watched the beautiful couple cross the bridge, the night was magical. There was music, dancing, food, drinks, and love—under the stars and surrounded by nature. My two favorite features were the Lost and Found tap room, a hand-crafted, art-deco style bar and the deck above the tap room. The tap room was great for small cozy groups and the beverages were delicious. The deck felt like you were stepping out into the stars. If you love nature's innate beauty and appreciate high-class design, I highly recommend Lost Horizon.

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our wedding day. From start to finish the coordinators, Shawn and Caroline, were absolutely incredible. They were patient, thorough, and always respectful, making sure we felt comfortable and supported every step of the way. No detail went overlooked, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything reflected what we wanted. The venue itself is charming and picturesque. The greenhouse chapel created such a beautiful and unique setting for our ceremony, with all the natural light and lush greenery providing the perfect backdrop. We did run into some inclement weather during the reception, but the team handled it seamlessly. Their contingency plan was well thought out and executed, so it never felt stressful or disruptive. Overall, we're so grateful to Shawn, Caroline, and the entire team for making our wedding day feel effortless and truly special. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, cozy space paired with a dedicated and caring staff.

    Thanks so much or taking the time to share this — it truly means the world to us. Getting to be part of you and Britney's big day was an honor we don't take lightly. Knowing that you felt supported, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way is exactly what we hope for every couple who chooses to celebrate here! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together! We hope you'll come back and visit us — maybe for a cider on a tranquil afternoon — and let us know how married life is treating you. Congratulations again! 🥂 — Shawn, Caroline & the whole team

    Lost Horizon Cider Mill is a hidden gem located just outside of Lockhart, Texas. We attended a wedding there and were enchanted. The ceremony took place in a beautiful greenhouse which provided the perfect backdrop. We enjoyed cocktails and bites in the nearby Courtyard and Taproom. The Signature Cocktail was delicious! We had so much fun dancing under the stars. The Stargazing Deck was a great spot to catch our breath. This is special venue and it will be the perfect spot for your wedding or special event.
