About this venue
We do not have a paid subscription here, so no communication is allowed via this site. Max Capacity 150 guests - all info is public with a search. It’s finally time to say “I Do” to the love of your life and celebrate surrounded by friends and family. One thing you know for sure — your dream doesn’t look like everyone else’s. You have a vision – one that is you and anything but cookie-cutter. You’ve found dozens of stunning venues with outdoor spaces, but none suit your true style. You crave wide open spaces and an event that is nothing like the wedding your guests attended a few weekends ago. In a word, you’re looking for something unexpected. Welcome to Shiraz Garden – the stunning east Austin wedding venue you thought you’d never find. You'll love our gorgeous, sweeping (and unobstructed) vistas and architectural spaces for the reception. Water features and luxury gardens welcome your guests into another world.

5-Star Venue!
Shiraz Garden has so much to offer! With many event spaces to choose from, there's a view and backdrop to accommodate any wedding style, from intimate gatherings to large celebrations. The bridal cottage is one of the best I've seen, with so much space to hang out in and ease into a wedding day. Kalli is so kind and easy to work with. She puts so much care and attention to both clients and vendors. You're sure to have a great event and planning experience at Shiraz Garden.
Couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else!
It was the perfect place to get married and we honestly couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else! We were able to craft out the perfect day and utilize the space in a way that few (if any) places would have allowed.
Preferred vendors of Shiraz Garden | Co River & Sweeping Views | All info Public
Find our rental pricing can be found on our website under "pricing", along with all the tables and chairs we include to make your day a little easier.
We only host weddings of 150 or fewer guests.
Visit our Availability page on our website, where OPEN DATES are listed!! Yes, see our open dates on our website. We keep this page up to date with "pending" next to any dates that currently have contracts in the works.
We require a 1/3 of your package (check preferred), signed contract (electronically), and for you to purchase your Event Insurance (here). We give you a week to provide all three to confirm your date. Your date is set to pending during that time. Nine (9) months before the event, 1/3 of the rental package is due. Three months before the event, the last 1/3 of the rental package is due.
To book a date we will send you a contract to sign electronically, an invoice for your package with installment due dates (1/3 due), and a link to purchase event insurance (also here). We require all three things (contract, 1/3 package, and insurance) to reserve a date.
A tour appointment is required, fill out our tour request form on our website for details.
The average budget of a couple getting married at Shiraz Garden is between $18-$30,000+ for all wedding expenses (venue, food, dress, DJ, photographer, etc.). We have had some creative couples with smaller guests lists host lovely weddings in the $12,000-$15,000 range, and we have had several events here spending considerably more than the average.
These incredible rugs are not included but easily added on to any package. These authentic, hand-knotted Persian Rugs will add that touch of magic, surprise, and color to your aisle, lounge areas, or dance floor. See available rugs on our website under STYLISH UPGARDES.
Yes, we have partnered with Monarch Weddings, who will give you a stunning all-inclusive wedding at Shiraz Garden, taking away all your stress. The planners and staff at Monarch Weddings are some of the best we have ever worked in the wedding industry. They have you covered!
No. Many venues have minimums because they make a 10 - 15% commission from the caterer based on the amount you spend on catering and or drinks (and flowers and all the rest often enough). We choose NOT to make a commission off these services because we want your bar and catering options to be as elegant or affordable as you'd like.
WeTendBar is our exclusive bar-tending service with three exceptions 1) if you choose an all-inclusive package with Monarch Weddings, or 2) your catering can offer bar-tending (still requires pre-approval), 3) and additional mobile bar may be added (pre-approval needed). You can choose your own full-service catering.
You can supply your alcohol to be served by WeTendBar TABC servers. All alcohol must be behind the bar an hour before the reception and only accessible to the bar staff. See their general cost sheet here.
At Shiraz Garden, we only host one wedding each day to ensure the couple and their guests have the private and personal experience they are looking for without interruption.
We are only 17.4 miles away from the airport, meaning your guests don’t have to ever fight Austin traffic on their way to Shiraz Garden or lodging.
Our parking lot has 82 posts with six designated handicap spaces, is paved and has a paved walking trail to the reception area (Formal Garden), and part of the path to Sunset Vista is crushed granite.
We do not provide linens. We encourage you to utilize your rental, floral or caterer for this. "Bride-to-Bride" forms and Facebook Groups are also a great place to get linens. We do not provide cups, silverware, etc.
The Formal Garden and adjacent spaces can be fully or partially tented. In the case of rain, we will provide a refund of 20% of the package price to go towards the rental of a tent with a receipt. We have ten tent options from Monarch Rental ranging from $1000-$4300. See more information and photos of this space + rain plan here.
Because we only host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony, reception, or both at Shiraz Garden.
At this time, we do not allow any pets at Shiraz Garden. If this changes we will let all our booked couples know as well as change that information here.
Your catering must be full-service, licensed, and insured, and leave the kitchen as they found it. They also must remove all trash and take it to the dumpster. We highly recommend working with our preferred vendors as they are familiar with the setting and are known for their fantastic quality and service.
All vendors will need to send their contact info to us via your Wedding Workspace (here) for us to approve them and have them sign our vendor agreement. Photographers, Caterers, Planners are all required to come out for an in-depth safety walk-through before allowed to work at any Shiraz Garden event.
No, however, we have personal experience with these vendors and know they provide exceptional services and are familiar with Shiraz Garden's rules and procedures. All vendors do have to be insured and approved by Shiraz Garden's Director (preferred vendors already have approval). We will send you the full list once you've filled out the tour request form.
You are here for the views! And the sunset, of course, so we recommend having your ceremony 1.5 hrs before sunset (sunset calculator) to give you that glow plus an hour for photos. Your planner/coordinator with the help you get it just perfect!
Security officer(s) are required and must be booked with the Bastrop County Police Department (county law); they charge $45 an hour. Details depending on guest count. We will provide you with the form to submit for your event.
Currently, we do not provide setup, if this changes we will let our booked couples know immediately and update that information here. Our space is so diverse, and every wedding has done it differently. We don't trust ourselves to get it just the way you want it!
Fireworks are not permitted other than exit sparklers at the Formal Garden in front of the green gates.
Vehicles cannot be left overnight. The gates will be locked at midnight, and as we are also a working ranch, the gates remain locked at other times to keep the cows and horses in! We appreciate your understanding. If you have any guests staying at the Hyatt Lost Pines it is only 5 miles away, Hampton Inns & Suites is 8 miles away, as are other next-door hotels from Shiraz Garden.
Your rentals must be delivered during your rental period (Friday or Saturday) unless given written permission by Shiraz Garden Director four weeks in advance. If there are no other events, it may be possible to pick up the rentals on Monday.
We do not have a PA system, but Sunset Vista (the largest ceremony option) has electrical outlets and water, as do most of the other sites as well. For small events at the Formal Garden there is a built in sound system with phone or laptop plug in behind the bar.
Candles are not allowed; battery operated candles are a good alternative.
We expect Shiraz Garden to be returned to its state at the start of your rental. If a cleaning team is required, the cleaning fee will be billed to your credit card for the hourly rate of our staff, Lost Pines Maids, or other cleaning company of our choice.
Absolutely, this is one of the best parts of Shiraz Garden! A Venue Representative will provide transportation of the couple and photographer via ATV to portrait spots.
Yes, shuttles and buses are both allowed to pick up and drop off at the parking lot. Pick up and drop off at the Formal Garden is limited to smaller van size vehicles.
