We ask our guests to only attend if they have been fully vaccinated. We respect your personal decision regarding vaccines, and we hope you can respect ours and the difficult position we have been put in as we approach our fourth wedding date and escalating COVID-19 cases. We understand that this means we won't be able to celebrate with some people we love the most and will miss everyone that cannot make it dearly.
If you have received either your second Pfizer/Moderna shot or your J&J shot before October 29, 2021, then you will be considered fully vaccinated by November 12, 2021. No boosters are necessary to attend. We look forward to celebrating with you!
Because of our new vaccination requirement, we will not be requiring masks. If you would still like to wear a mask, please do so! KN95 masks will be available on site.
The ceremony will take place outside. The cocktail hour will take place both indoors and outdoors. The reception will take place in a heated tent.
We were legally married on April 4, 2020, but we saved a lot of wedding firsts for our big celebration with our guests (e.g., our personal, written vows for each other and Allison's father walking her down the aisle), so we want to have a ceremony to make those memories.
The event is black tie optional. If you have a tux or floor-length gown, now is the time to show it off! However, we are happy to have you joining us regardless of attire.
Please refrain from using your phone or camera during the ceremony. The photographer (and us) will thank you!
We are unable to accommodate children at our wedding, so we ask that you make arrangements beforehand.
Yes! We want to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy yourself. Complimentary valet will be available at the venue for those wishing to drive themselves. See the Travel Page for more details.
No. Escondido Golf & Lake Club is a private community that is not affiliated with Horseshoe Bay Resort (HSBR). You will need to take the provided shuttle or arrange your own transportation to the event as it is not on HSBR property.
No. Uber and Lyft do not operate in Horseshoe Bay at this time. If you're staying at one of the accommodations listed under the Travel tab, a shuttle will take you to and from the wedding venue. If you miss the shuttle but still want to enjoy yourself, you are welcome to drive to the ceremony and return for your car the next day. If you are staying at an Airbnb or other home stay option, please have a designated driver or arrange for a private driver beforehand. A local option is available at www.comegetmerideshares.com. Your safety is most important!
Please contact our wedding planner, Barbara Shorts, at barbara@verveaustin.com to facilitate accommodations.
Escondido Golf & Lake Club is 56.8 miles (~1.25hr drive) from the Austin airport. If you are flying in to join us, we recommend renting a car or hiring a car service for your convenience.
