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.

Built-in 1925, in the grand architectural style of Beaux-Arts Classical Revival, the Simon Theatre provided a splendid setting for many theatrical performances, film screenings and ballroom dances. The James Simon family commissioned Houston architect Alfred C. Finn, whose career included designing a number of prominent Houston buildings as well as the San Jacinto Monument, to design the theatre for the community of Brenham. Today, after a meticulous million-plus dollar renovation, the glamour and grand style lives on for future generations in the newly named Barnhill Center at Historic Simon Theatre. You will feel the charm of the old and appreciate the convenience of all the modern updates. Truly — The Best of Both Worlds
