So Red Ridge is a 10/10! Bethany and Chris are seasoned pros. Their preparation and organization paid off for the wedding. They kept the bride and groom on schedule, ensured their choices were followed for every option, and Cari got ensured their vision came to life. This is truly an all inclusive venue with so many beautiful additions. They mentioned the sunset would be beautiful and the views on the hill would be stunning. Every view was gorgeous both inside and out, and honestly they undersold the looks. The pictures are amazing. Bethany oversaw everything to ensure a magical evening. The staff working on the night of the wedding were so prepared. The food was fantastic and plentiful. The bar under the covered patio created such a fun environment. They encouraged the bride and groom to create specialty cocktails which added a fun flair. One special touch was to respond very late at night to find the missing wedding certificate which was extremely appreciated! We would trust them again and highly recommend them to anybody.

Absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Two Wishes! We chose the venue for the privacy and space it gave us (almost 200 people) and allowed us to bring our dog. The weather was perfect and we were able to have the reception outside. Between the beautiful barn and stunning outdoor area with dance floor/stage under twinkling lights, the night was so magical and exceeded all our expectations. The bridal suite was by far the best I had seen at any venue. It's basically it's own house with a big beautiful open room with lots of mirrors/chairs/outlets, perfect for a large group, and SO MUCH much natural light. Also has a giant porch with an amazing view and a full bathroom so we could shower. We also appreciated the flexibility of their staff and how accommodating they were. We adored the venue manager Janeen who was so kind and easygoing. They even allowed us to bring six adoptable dogs from a rescue group I volunteer with to our cocktail hour (on top of our own dog). It was so much fun and gave the rescue so much exposure. Hard to imagine many other venues that would allow this and we are so grateful!

Lost Horizon Cider Mill has the romantic, intimate vibe that comes with a backyard wedding but the elevated touches you'd look for in a winery. The venue itself is swanky yet quirky, with an art-deco-y, design-forward style. I love how each space created a special atmosphere—from the greenhouse to the star-gazing deck. We were able to truly customize it to reflect US. The custom labels created for our non-alcoholic drinks are just one example of the thoughtful, high-quality work they did to make our special day truly memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our wedding, and we highly recommend Lost Horizon Cider Mill to any couple looking for a unique and unforgettable venue.

We had our wedding at Camino Real in September of 2024 and it was the most amazing day! We loved this venue. It was SO beautiful and comfortable for us and our guests. The getting ready spaces were so welcoming and had everything we could possibly need and there was plenty of space for our bridal party to get ready. Krysta was so helpful and hands on throughout the entire process- she was our coordinator through Marino Made Events as well and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with her! This was truly my dream venue and made our wedding such a special day.

They were on top of the food and ensuring the bridal party was fed and had everything they needed. I felt very welcome and that they truly cared about the experience everyone had while on property!

We really struggled to find a venue in the Austin area that we liked. Venues tended to be ultra-rustic farmhouses, or ultra-contemporary spaces with no charm, neither of which are our vibe. Anything we did like was priced absurdly high and booked through 2025. Then we found The Carrington and are SO happy we did. We were looking for a place that could provide a cozy-yet-elevated, intimate dinner party atmosphere for our wedding, and The Carrington was exactly that. It had so much charm and character, and the 3 distinct spaces (indoor, ceremony side yard, and backyard) were perfect for creating a natural flow from cocktail hour, to ceremony, to dinner, to dancing. The convenience of the bridal suite upstairs and the guest house next door were a massive plus, too. Our guests gave rave reviews of the venue. We had a really positive experience working with the staff-- particularly with Emily, who was so helpful, kind, and easy-going. The laid-back and flexible attitude of The Carrington team helped make wedding planning so much less stressful. A lot of venues we toured had rigid rules and functioned like wedding factories, not leaving much space for the unique touches we wanted. The Carrington staff were totally open to our ideas and requests, and we were able to handcraft our perfect event. Lastly, the price was unbeatable. I still can't believe how much bang for our buck we got at The Carrington. The wedding industry can feel extremely financially predatory, so I am so grateful to them for providing an affordable option that didn't sacrifice quality. The price of the venue was single-handedly what kept us from going over budget. I would 100% recommend The Carrington, but will note a few things to consider: - We had a spring wedding so the grass and landscaping were fully green and in bloom. During summer and winter you may need more florals/decor to liven up the outdoor space. - There is a train right by the venue with an unpredictable schedule, so there's a chance it will go by during your ceremony. We lucked out and didn't have that happen, but it was on our minds!

Texas Rock House is a labor of love. My grandparents built the house and barns in the 1940's as a working farm for their family. My mother was the youngest of seven children that grew up here. I grew up almost across the street with my mom (Joyce), daddy (Buddy), and brother (Larry). Larry and I spent almost every Friday night here - listening to his records on Grandma's old record player or sitting on the back porch swing counting the number of cars on the trains as they passed by. Whether you are looking for a memorable barn wedding venue for your special day, a unique event space for your corporate meeting, or a beautiful place to celebrate one of life's special moments, the Texas Rock House is the place to be! I (and my family) have had many wonderful memories in this place - and hope you do too!

The team at Texas Rock House was open, understanding and a bit busy, but they made our special day truly wonderful. The venue was very beautiful and affordable, which was important to us as a young couple. The owner, Erin, did her best to help as much as she could to make the days leading up to and the day of our wedding as easy as possible. She was very personable and good at collaborating with us. When it started raining on the day of our wedding, Erin was very quick to come up with a solution and it ended up being an awesome celebration despite the weather. We are so grateful for the Texas Rock House team and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a gorgeous and budget-friendly wedding venue.

The inside is a huge space which opens up through a garage door to a patio with a garden and streamed lights. It’s truly a gem and we’re so lucky we got to have our party here. We had around 80 guests and there was room for many more! They even hooked us up with discounted merch for give aways. Highly recommend!!!

Harper Hill Ranch was everything we dreamed of and more! This venue truly surpassed our vision and was perfect in every single way.

We got married at Geronimo Oaks in July 2024 and used The Creeks reception venue. It was absolutely stunning! From the moment we saw the venue for the first time, I fell in love with the Bluff outdoor ceremony site and knew that was where I wanted to get married. Its natural beauty, surrounded by greenery and with a woodsy, magical vibe, felt straight out of Twilight. The staff were incredibly flexible and worked with us to have our ceremony at the Bluff, then golf-carted our guests to The Creeks for the reception. The Creeks venue itself is gorgeous and perfectly accommodated our 175 guests with plenty of space. The bride and groom suites were fantastic and made getting ready such a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Both sides of our wedding party used the suites, and they provided the perfect space to relax, prepare, and soak in the excitement of the day. Additionally, we rented the VRBO house right next door to the venue, which was ideal for our large family. It gave us a convenient and comfortable place to stay while preparing for the wedding and also served as a great spot to gather and celebrate afterward. Jacy and Ali were wonderful to work with, answering all our questions and assisting us with everything we needed. One thing I truly appreciated was the venue’s flexibility. They allow couples to bring in any outside vendors, but they also provided a list of trusted vendors they recommend. Since Geronimo Oaks was about 2 hours from where we lived, their recommendations were invaluable, and we ended up using several from their list. The natural beauty of the location added so much to our day and made for absolutely stunning photos that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural charm, excellent service, and thoughtful amenities, we highly recommend Geronimo Oaks!

The people working there are so sweet and easy to work with, and because it’s smaller everyone is involved and wants to help make the day perfect.

Tiny T Ranch is a working ranch with a wedding chapel. We are SUPER laid back and we only work with super laid back couples. We are not a fancy high-end venue. If you dig nature, farm animals, and a relaxing time, we might be right for you. We invite prospective clients to come and see the place, meet the team, and see what you think. In addition to the Tiny Chapel there is a 1325 square foot reception hall. It is DIY. You set up and break down. You can rent our tables and chairs if you want. If you need an officiant, one lives on-site. There is a bridal cabin and a man shed for grooms. Or if you’re two brides or two grooms, y’all can flip a coin and see who gets what space. You can easily fit 80 guests in the reception hall so if it rains, you are literally covered. We have hosted hundreds of weddings from elopements to bigger events. We’d love to work with you if our vibe suits your vibe and vice versa.

I've photographed weddings long enough to know where my talent lies as a photographer, and that is capturing weddings with less pomp and circumstance, more soul and intimacy. This is the space that Spike Gillespie has created at Tiny T Ranch. She is a rescuer: of animals, of a tiny chapel poised as the most perfect backdrop, of experiences that are warm and generous. If you want a wedding that is not just an event but a cherished memory, I can't recommend Spike and the Tiny T enough.

We had our wedding welcome party at Pinthouse Brewing on South Lamar and it was the perfect location for it! We rented the upstairs space that had its own bar, seating, and a view that overlooked both the downstairs section and part of the brewery. Throughout the event, we had our own bartenders upstairs that could serve drinks as well as a buffet made by Pinthouse for the event–each and every one of our guests raved about the food and beer! Leading up to the event, Stephanie was immensely helpful in answering our questions and getting us through the paperwork. She very kindly responded to our often extensive emails and talked with us on the phone whenever we needed additional clarification. The night of the event went off without a hitch thanks to the team there and we are very grateful to them for helping us put on such a fun night. We would highly recommend this Pinthouse for events!

As a wedding photographer who helps direct my wedding couples on their special day, it's always a relief to come into a venue that is run by efficient and kind staff. Duchman Family Winery has always been great at making the bride and groom's day go as smoothly as possible. Even on rainy days, they were able to keep the outdoor ceremony site available for a last minute change, which recently worked out/giving my bride her dream outdoor wedding. Many other venues are not this flexible and expect a final decision the day before. As a photographer who wants my couples to have the best experience, it's such a relief to team up with other professionals who care about the flow and the feel at each step. Duchman Family cares about you and your family. Check it out, and see if it's a good fit for you. You'll be well taken care of and you'll enjoy a beautiful event beneath the tall Oak trees overlooking a gorgeous Texas vineyard. Cheers.

Due to COVID & the fact that my fiancé and I were separated between borders (Canada & USA) we didn't have the engagement/wedding we originally had planned. It came down to plan C which was to elope in Austin with a few family and friends. I found South Congress Hotel and was completely blown away with the coordinators help and knew within one email this was where we were going to elope. Not only was the planning process smooth (did I mention we planned this in one month?!) but the day of the wedding was more and everything I could have imagined. The decor was beautiful, the venue was aesthetic and the food was SO good. On top of it all, staying at the hotel was a highlight not only for us but for our guests too! I'd highly recommend South Congress Hotel as a wedding venue!

  • Starts at $3,000

With indoor and outdoor space options and the ability to bring in your own vendors and alcohol, all choices are yours! Views of the vineyard make you feel transported to Italy and Mediterranean France without ever leaving the Texas hill country. The glow of the chandeliers in the grand banquet hall provide a warm and romantic vibe, really setting romantic tone for your wedding.

Venue considerations

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Villa at the Vineyard. The space and grounds are gorgeous and Amanda, the venue director, was fantastic to work with. I can't say enough good things about her or the venue! The space itself is beautiful. Even though florals weren't a large part of our budget, I loved the minimal look of the choices we made in the big, beautiful reception hall! The vineyard outside was stunning and made a fantastic photo backdrop. The getting ready areas were comfortable, well-equipped, and well-lit, so we had a great time getting ready with our friends beforehand (and all the getting ready photos in that area were beautiful too). Even the drive out from Austin was beautiful and easy, which was nice for our out of town guests. I especially appreciated the flow encouraged by the event space's layout, with the ceremony area next to the patio where we had our cocktail hour and the dramatic staircase leading to the reception hall. None of the spaces had to be turned over to serve double-duty, which made setup easy and kept our guests flowing between spaces that felt natural. Also, just to rave a little bit -- Amanda was an absolute lifesaver when we had trouble with our original venue, mere months before our wedding date. Amanda and our planner worked magic to make it possible for us to make a smooth last-minute switch to Villa at the Vineyard. Making that change brought our joy back and transformed our event! I'm thankful that the stars aligned so that the space happened to be free on our date (a Thursday) and that Amanda was so on top of things and easy to work with. Between Amanda and our wedding planner, working with Villa at the Vineyard was absolutely effortless. After our experience with the original venue, believe me when I say -- that's not something I take for granted at ALL. While the space itself is new, it comes with Amanda's deep expertise in managing wedding venues and familiarity with local wedding resources, and I consider that a tremendous perk. I loved having our wedding at Villa at the Vineyard and I would choose it again in a heartbeat!

We held a pre-party in the Old Barn N, which accommodated all guests downstairs and on the balcony above. We reserved the Tobacco Barn for the ceremony to include a buffet-style dinner and plenty of room for dancing afterward. Due to the heat, we rented portable AC units and fans for the barn to keep the temperature down in the Texas heat. The 3-day weekend event was a success with no issues and no complaints. The staff went above and beyond to ensure all our guests, accommodations, and the wedding ceremony were perfect. Many of our guests said they want to return to Cedar Break for a personal getaway in the Texas Hill Country again. If you are looking for a wedding venue with onsite accommodations, this is hands down the place to get!

About wedding venues in Lockhart, TX

Why Is Texas an Exceptional Wedding Destination?

Texas offers an incredible variety of wedding settings across its diverse landscapes. You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day. The state is home to countless venues that showcase authentic Texas character while still matching your personal style. Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests. Many Texas venues incorporate unique regional touches you won't find elsewhere; live country music that gets everyone dancing, mouthwatering BBQ stations and custom boot favors that celebrate local heritage. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for. The national average runs about $6,500-$12,000 which represents roughly 25% of your total wedding budget. Your overall wedding costs will depend largely on how many people you're inviting to share your special day:

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas venues offer distinctly regional experiences that capture the state's diverse character. Hill Country locations around Fredericksburg give you gorgeous vineyard settings with beautiful limestone architecture and sunset views that will take your breath away. If you're considering Houston, you'll find venues that thoughtfully incorporate bayou landscapes alongside sophisticated cosmopolitan amenities. Dallas spaces tend to showcase luxury urban environments with elegant design elements that create a refined atmosphere.

How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Texas Venue?

Texas couples typically book their wedding venues about 16 months (or 457 days) before their wedding date. November stands out as the most popular month for venue inquiries so planning early is essential if you're considering this timeframe. This advanced booking timeline helps you secure your preferred date since popular venues often fill their calendars far in advance especially for prime weekend dates. Booking early also allows you to lock in current pricing before annual increases that many venues implement. Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

Madera Estates in Conroe stands out for its commitment to accessibility with fully paved event spaces that accommodate wheelchair navigation throughout the property.

Hummingbird Hill Weddings in Chappell Hill prioritizes inclusive design throughout their venue and The Preserve at Canyon Lake features wheelchair-friendly pathways connecting all major celebration areas. These venues ensure all your guests can fully participate in your special day regardless of mobility considerations.

Which Texas Wedding Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

Food-focused couples should also consider Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin where you'll enjoy spectacular views alongside premium cuts of Texas beef.

Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse in the Houston area offers a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience with tableside carving and a festival atmosphere your guests will remember long after the wedding day.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.
