We offer couples a location with sprawling grounds and elegant indoor facilities to accommodate every part of their wedding day. Although we are proud to be one of the most beautiful intimate wedding venues in the Austin area, we pride ourselves more on the support and services we offer our couples. The true difference of Red Ridge is not seen, it is felt, from the time we take our couples on their first stroll through the grounds, to their last kiss lit by enchanting sparklers. From our passionate and experienced wedding planning staff, to every day-of service included in our wedding packages, no detail will go unattended.

Getting married at Red Ridge was the easiest and best decision I made for our wedding! I was sold as soon as I had a tour and reviewed the multiple package options. The whole staff is so accommodating and pays close attention to detail. I was able to structure out the entire wedding ceremony and reception months before the Big Day. Then, on my wedding day, they were flexible and met my every need. All of my guests have told me how much fun and how beautiful everything was. I highly recommend Red Ridge!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for an outdoor venue in the Hill Country, The Wildflower Barn is hands down the most gorgeous place to have an event. Their team is absolutely wonderful, easy to communicate with, & so helpful; they answered all my questions! We took advantage of the items they rent for venues; tables, chairs, archway, etc. We also paid for their Walk-Away package, what a deal to have extra people to help with clean up towards the end of the event! It was an absolutely amazing experience! We hope we have to host another event in the future just so we can use their venue again!

From the first taste to the last toast, every detail of your big day will be carefully choreographed to bring your dream wedding to life, complete with some of the most elegant wedding venues in Austin, TX.

We had our Indian wedding in March of 2024 and it was a dream come true thanks to Hotel Viata. We had multiple events spread over a couple of venues but Hotel Viata hosted our guests the entire weekend as well as several of our events. We had a LGBTQ Indian wedding and they truly rose to the occasion. Our main contact Kelsey was FANTASTIC, but we truly received top notch service from everyone-from the folks that welcomed us at the desk to the bartenders and servers at our events. They went above and beyond to learn about our traditions and make each of events special. Honestly, we felt like extended family and our guests raved about the experience. The love, openness and celebratory affection they radiated our entire weekend…well that was priceless. Within their ability, they truly tried to make all of our wishes come true. One example of their kindness was when Kelsey went above and beyond and grabbed food for one of our best friend’s young kids…just because we wanted to make sure she had something that she would definitely eat. We’ll always remember our wedding with love and fondness….it was such a special time. And we’ll always be grateful to Hotel Viata for making our 20-year long dream come true. Highly recommend them for any of your special events.

From the intimate Parlor Bar to the idyllic front lawn, Hotel Ella’s beautifully designed indoor and outdoor event spaces provide the perfect backdrop for any social gathering, including weddings, cocktail receptions, fundraisers, galas, milestone birthdays and more.

I absolutely loved my wedding at hotel ella! First off, the hotel itself is so beautiful and different and was the perfect vibe we wanted. 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. I couldn’t picture a more beautiful location, and for our slightly smaller wedding (110-115) it was absolutely perfect!

We built Fast Friends on the values of creating positive change and inspiring people to DO/good, LOVE/big, and LIVE/now. Tucked away from the bustle of traffic, Fast Friends sits on three and a half acres of lush green space just south of downtown Austin. It’s part oasis, part retreat, and all about fostering human connection over good food and good beer. We combine craft brewing, farm-to-table culinary, wellness and philanthropy into a unique hospitality experience that's unlike anything else in Austin. Stop in, say howdy and enjoy a breezy afternoon under the canopy of live oaks. There's something for everyone here, and we've never met a stranger.

My wife and I had our wedding party at Fast Friends in November and it was amazing! David and Brandy were so easy to work with and flexible with pretty much anything we were wanting to do. Their downstairs has a unique aesthetic with a beautiful bar and cool speakeasy room. They have a music system to set the tone which they set to our preferred genre/favorite band. 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!!!

The owners of The Ranch were incredibly easy to work with - super flexible and quick to respond to any questions I had. They didn’t have required vendors so we were able to bring in our own band and her own food truck and caterers. When we saw this venue, we thought it was going to be perfect and we could not have been more right. We got nonstop compliments on the venue from our guests as well. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a lovely gorgeous outdoor ranch style wedding.

Christy did my hanging chandelier cake for our wedding as well as groom's cake and both were so realistic that we had to tell people they were cake. I've also stopped at Rose Haven for their Guinness and brown buttercream cakes for St Patrick's day, the brown buttercream was one of the best I've ever had.
