Things To Do
Lady Bird Lake Trail
If you’re looking to enjoy a bit of Austin between wedding events, Lady Bird Lake’s Hike-and-Bike Trail is a perfect pick. This scenic waterfront path offers peaceful views, shady trees, and plenty of spots to pause and take in the downtown skyline. Whether you prefer a relaxed stroll or a breezy bike ride, it’s an easy way to experience the city’s outdoor charm.
Desert Door Distillery
If you love tequila and great cocktails, Desert Door Distillery is a must‑visit during your time in Texas. They specialize in Texas Sotol—a smooth, earthy spirit similar to tequila but made from wild-harvested sotol plants found only in this region. The distillery is just a quick five‑minute drive from our venue, and it also happens to be one of Nick and Lauren’s favorite spots. It’s the perfect place to sip something unique and enjoy a true taste of Texas.

Rainey Street is one of downtown Austin’s most fun and lively spots—lined with bungalow bars, great music, and an easygoing, walkable vibe. It’s the perfect place to wander, grab a drink, and soak up the city’s energy. If you go, don’t miss Banger’s Beer Garden, a Rainey Street favorite known for its huge beer selection, amazing sausages, and spacious outdoor patio. It’s a great hangout for groups and a classic Austin experience.

Congress Avenue is the heart of downtown Austin—full of iconic views, historic charm, and plenty to explore. Stroll past local shops, cozy cafés, and vibrant street art as you make your way toward the Capitol building at the north end or the famous bat bridge to the south.
