FAQs
Question
What time should we arrive?
Answer
Plan to arrive about 15–20 minutes early so you can park, find your seat, and settle in before the ceremony begins.
Question
Will the ceremony be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will be outdoors in a covered area, so we’ll be protected if there’s a little rain and still comfortable in December. Texas weather can be unpredictable, but the space keeps things shaded and breezy.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We’re going for Semi‑Formal / Formal Wear to match the feel of the day. For the ladies: Feel free to get glammed up—cocktail dresses, formal dresses, or anything that makes you feel fabulous. The only thing we ask is that you leave white to the bride… she called dibs! For the gentlemen: No blue jeans for this one. Suits are great, but a button‑down with slacks works too. Ties are not required, so you can keep things polished without feeling too buttoned‑up.
Question
How far is the venue from the hotel?
Answer
If you’re staying at Comfort Inn & Suites Burnet, you’re only about 8 minutes (6 miles) away from Hill Country Bliss.
Question
Is the ceremony and reception at the same location?
Answer
Yes! Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all at the same venue. No venue‑hopping, no GPS battles, no stress.
Question
Can I bring a plus‑one?
Answer
Please follow the names listed on your invitation. If your invite includes a plus‑one, they’re absolutely welcome to join the fun.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
We love your little ones, but this celebration is adults‑only so everyone can relax and enjoy the night.
Question
Which airport should I fly into?
Answer
Out‑of‑town guests should fly into Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). It’s about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Burnet, depending on traffic and how many Buc‑ee’s stops you make.
Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
Burnet is a small Hill Country town, so having a car definitely helps. Rental cars are available at the airport.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes! There’s plenty of parking, including handicap spots right up front.
Question
