They will both be taking place at Pecan Springs Ranch in Austin, TX [10601 B Derecho Drive, Austin, TX 78737]. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors, followed by the reception which will be held indoors.
Yes, semi-formal! Ladies: cocktail or midi/maxi dresses. The ceremony is outdoors so chunky heels or wedges are going to be your best bet since you’ll be walking across grass. Men: suit and tie encouraged.
Yes! This was one of our top priorities when selecting a venue. Pecan Springs Ranch is 17 acres so there is plenty of space for folks to get around and is wheelchair accessible. Please be mindful that the ceremony will be outdoors and there might be slightly uneven surfaces (i.e. crushed granite walkways, grass, etc.) so if you have difficulty walking, we encourage you to bring the necessary support to get around comfortably.
Nope! For your convenience, a block of rooms has been reserved for guests at the Fairmont Austin but you are welcome to stay wherever you'd like. There are so many awesome places to choose from in Austin, we just listed a few of our favorites on the travel page. Regardless of where you decide to stay, we do want to remind everyone that places will book up quickly since it will be Memorial Day weekend so please plan accordingly.
There will NOT be transportation provided to the ceremony so we highly recommend using a ride share app or you’re also more than welcome to drive and leave your car at the venue. However, there WILL be shuttles available to take guests back to the Fairmont Austin after the reception, one departing at 9:30 pm and another at 11 pm.
Absolutely! Pecan Springs Ranch is only 10 minutes west of downtown Austin so Uber + Lyft are available but if you choose to drive, you can also leave your vehicle overnight and pick it up by 10:00 AM the next morning.
Yes, of course! We will be doing a device-less ceremony so please tuck your phones away during this time but the remainder of the evening will be full of photo ops!
After the ceremony, the wedding party and family will be taking a few pictures nearby. Guests can head straight to the outdoor bar area where we will be serving cocktails and appetizers.
It is Texas so the answer is usually hot but average May highs range from 80°F to 87°F so stay tuned to the weather forecast leading up to the wedding!
We love all the children in our lives! However, our wedding is intended to be adults-only with the exception of wedding party. We hope this will allow all of our guests, including parents, a fun, relaxing night out! If you plan to travel to Austin with children, we kindly ask that you consider booking a babysitter for the evening of the wedding, and recommend using www.collegenanniesandsitters.com. Thank you so much for understanding!
