There will be a ~2 hour block of time between the end of the church ceremony (2:30pm) and the start of the reception (4:30pm) where the wedding party will be taking pictures at the Texas State Capital. While the wedding party is taking photos, here are a few of our favorite things to do in downtown Austin!
Texas Capitol
1100 Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78701, (512) 463-4630
This is where we will be doing our wedding photos - everyone is welcome and it's only 2 blocks from the church where we will be holding the ceremony (Saint Mary's Cathedral)!
Wax Myrtle's Club and Pool
506 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin, TX 78701
This is the bar on the 4th floor of the hotel (The Thompson Austin) where we will be having the reception (reception will be on the 2nd floor). It's a great spot to go for a relaxed drink at the bar or to sit by the pool and enjoy the city skyline!
Congress Avenue Bridge
Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704, (512) 364-0759
A great spot to get a view of Lady Bird Lake or walk along the water!
Rainey Street
Rainey Street, Austin, TX 78701
Great for a cool drink on a patio before the reception!
