We’d love for you to join the us for a laid-back hangout at Barton Springs Municipal Pool. Nothing fancy—just sunshine, cool water, and good company before the big day. Make sure to bring a towel, sunscreen, and a water bottle! We plan to get there early to have a designated spot for everyone to meet at when you get inside. Buying tickets can be done ahead of time using the ATX swims app. The fastest and simplest way to expedite entry would be to pre purchase the tickets before arriving. Once the tickets are purchased they will sit in the pending section of the app until activated. Once activated they must be used on the day of activation. Please note: you must add your payment method to the account prior to check out for it to display in the drop down menu. Remember: No food or drinks are allowed (except a water bottle), but visitors of the pool can leave to eat and then re-enter by getting a stamp. We can’t wait to spend some easy, joyful time together. See you at the pool!

The party will continue at Donn's Depot — an iconic Austin piano bar where the drinks are cold, the music is loud, and the dance floor stays full long after midnight. A trolley will shuttle wedding guests to Donn's Depot from The Mansion for late-night drinks, live tunes, and a little two-steppin’ as we continue to celebrate into the early hours for one last round with our favorite people. Just say you are with the "Paynter Wedding" at the door and you will not be charged a cover charge. We cannot wait to end the night best night of our lives with everyone there!
