    We had our wedding at Vintage Villas and loved it. Pictures in bio. We also considered Winfield Inn, Villa Antonia, Nature's Point. Good luck!

    Our venue is Casablanca on Brushy Creek and I absolutely love it... we're getting married next march... it's a home they turned into a wedding facility and is so beautiful and on a creek where you can hear the water surrounded by trees... you should check it out! :) Good luck!

    We were married at the Caswell House -- it's beautiful and very reasonably priced.  The venue is in the downtown area, close to UT.  In fact, from its balcony, the state capital is visible.www.caswellhouse.org

    We're using the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs Mansion (you can find it by googling "The Mansion"). It's an all indoor venue and it's located pretty close to downtown at 24th and San Gabriel. We just loved the Georgian room (where we're having the ceremony) and the ballroom, and they let you choose whatever vendors you want aside from the rentals. That was really important to us since we already had a caterer we wanted and most venues require you to use one that they've already chosen.

    congrats!  do you have any ideas on what kind of venue you're looking for?  indoor?  outdoor?  ceremony combined with reception, or separate?  what time of year?  how many guests? downtown/intimate/country/rustic/lake view?  i'm sure we can all give you a bunch of suggestions once we've narrowed it down a bit!FWIW, my ceremony was at University Presbyterian and reception at the Austin Club (although we were at Shoreline Grill before we ran out of space).

    We're getting married at San Michele in Buda, and LOVE it! Other venues I like are Villa Antonia, The Allan House, Star Hill Ranch, Barr Mansion, Nature's Point, Laguna Gloria, The Plantation House, Hamilton Twelve, and The Winfield Inn... there's TONS of stuff though, you can find a lot on The Knot, or on the Austin Wedding Guide website. [url]http://www.austinweddings.com/facilitiesdirectory.shtml[/url] If you're willing to go a bit farther, and have a good sized budget, Horseshoe Bay is also amazing. Or if you're looking for a nice hotel ballroom, try the Glass Oaks Ballroom at the Renaissance Hotel in the Arboretum. The Driskill Hotel is awesome too, and The Four Seasons is right on the lake, and you can have your ceremony outdoors there as well as an indoor reception.

    wow thanks for your feedback everyone! I actually have a time set up to see vintage villas! We are getting married in January. I want an outdoor ceremony and reception weather permitting, but also need to make sure that if the weather is too cold it can be moved inside easily.  Dont want anything too fancy and stiff, but not so relaxed im eating hamburgers or something casual. It will be around 80 people.

    I'm getting married at the Vista on Seward Hill. I think it can fit 100-150 people, although I think it works best for smaller weddings.  It is has both indoor and outdoor spaces.  I am in love with it.

    I'm getting married at Barr Mansion in October. I have found planning to be SO easy with my coordinator, Abby, there. I live in Oklahoma and have had no problems planning from a distance. There are several outdoor options for the ceremony and the Ballroom for the reception is casual, but elegant. I like that everything is included...no rentals needed...cake, food, ceremony, linens, plates, silverware, etc. For me, it took a lot of the trouble out of planning. I HIGHLY reccommend it based on my experience so far.

    Hi! I'm in a similar situation. The FI and I are from Austin, but I'm in grad school at Cornell and he moved up here with me. I chose Vintage Villas because they're pretty much all inclusive, reasonably priced, and BEAUTIFUL. It's definitely worth looking into. Good luck!

    I got married at House on the Hill and it was wonderful.  We had it from Thur night to Sunday at noon.  It was great having the wedding I wanted without a time constraint on anything.  There are also rooms for family to stay if that is something you are interested in.  More than happy to answer any questions about the place.  Good luck in your search.

    We got married at One World Theatre and had our reception at Palm Door.  We loved both of them, but I have to super rave about the Palm Door.  Those girls are fantastic!!  So if you're looking for something downtown, it's a great space. It's really reasonably priced and the service can't be beat.

    The Terrace Club in Dripping Springs.  Outdoor but has the option for an indoor backup plan.

    I wish that I would have known about this place before I booked my venue. A very good friend had her reception at Heritage Oaks Clubhouse in Georgetown this weekend. Rents for 100.00 per hour. Simply stunning place. www.heritageoaksclubhouse.comPatricia is the manager and excellent to work with.
