Lakefront Acres was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Avery and her team were incredibly efficient, caring, and quick to respond to all of our questions and needs.

In my quest to find the perfect venue to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary, I found this beautiful place located in old town Salado. The venue coordinator and owner, Paloma, showed us around the property and we absolutely fell in love with it. We were looking for a venue that would accommodate 60 guests. Most venues we looked at were too big or lacked the intimate experience we were looking for. Although Village Venue can accommodate more guests, it was the ideal size and ambiance we hoped for. The party was a huge success! I received so many complements from the guests about how amazing the venue was. Everyone told me that I did a great job picking the perfect place. Also, the venue coordinator, did a great job of communicating with me through the entire process. From start to finish, I'm very pleased and will certainly recommend Village Venue and Chapel to all my friends and family. Thank you very a memorable experience!

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

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.

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.

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.
