About this venue

The Terrace at Highland Lakes is a lake view wedding venue in Lago Vista, Texas, offering panoramic views of Lake Travis from a covered terrace framed by an elegant wooden pergola. Low glass barriers keep the view unobstructed as couples exchange vows overlooking the water, with wild deer often seen roaming the vast property beyond. Guests then move into the Grand Foyer, where mid-century details and a large stone fireplace blend seamlessly with rustic Hill Country charm for cocktail hour. The adjoining reception hall pairs contemporary wood-paneled ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the beauty of the outdoors in for dinner and dancing. Accommodating up to 120 guests, The Terrace at Highland Lakes offers a full range of all-inclusive packages and attentive planning support for an intimate, scenic celebration. Less than an hour north of Austin, this Lago Vista venue gives couples a romantic, lakefront setting with sweeping views that need little additional decor.

    Perfect, Seamless Wedding Day

    All I can say is wow. I got married 6/21, and I am so glad that we booked through the Terrace. From day 1, the Terrace was communicative and so very helpful. Wedding planning seemed so daunting, but the Terrace really walked us through every step of the process. Their planners are true experts. The day of is what really sold it for us - we had the most perfect, calm, smooth wedding day thanks to our planner Taylor and day of coordinator, Sydney. They got our space prepared for the day, frequently checked in on us, even made sure we got dinner! Every single person who works for Walter’s was so helpful. Even our DJ was getting drinks for us! If you’re planning a wedding, we HIGHLY recommend the Terrace if you want your wedding day to be seamless and perfect.

    Our wedding at The Terrace at Highland Lakes was absolutely amazing and so well organized! From start to finish, everything ran so smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A huge shoutout to our day-of coordinator, Gabi—she was incredible to work with! She was so punctual, made sure every detail was in place, and truly helped us feel stress-free throughout the entire day. Thanks to her, everything flowed seamlessly, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment. We also loved working with our wedding planner, Noel! She was so responsive and helpful with all of our questions, making the entire planning process enjoyable and easy. Her guidance made such a difference, and we’re so grateful for her support. If you’re looking for a breathtaking venue with an amazing team, The Terrace at Highland Lakes is the perfect place! We couldn’t be happier with how our special day turned out. Highly recommend!

    Best customer service!!

    The Terrace at Highland Lakes was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was direct, understanding and open - they were always quick to respond to our questions and accommodate our needs. The quality of their work and value was exceptional. We had our wedding at about 4:30/5 P.M., which was a great time with the sun setting and creating a beautiful glow. The deer were outside watching it all, and the overall view was simply stunning. The inside was clean and open, but the best part was the bridal suite - it was the perfect space for us to get ready in comfort and style. Gabi, the day-of coordinator, was the ultimate MVP. She accommodated us with just about anything we asked for, constantly made sure I was fed and hydrated, and even stepped in to help my bridesmaids with anything they needed. She did more for us on the day than our year-long planner. I wish I had Gabi as my planner as well, because she truly made our special day even more magical. We are so grateful to the entire team at The Terrace at Highland Lakes for helping to create the wedding of our dreams.
