Overall, really great venue. They were very easy to work with 5 years ago. They had just opened some options for guests staying there but we had our guests stay near downtown Austin and bussed them out there. That worked well so people got to explore Austin and the hill country as well.
We got a crazy good deal because someone cancelled 4 months out and we jumped on it. Not sure what their pricing is now, but with the deal we got a Friday wedding in May for $2500. Hard to pass up.
At the time, they let us bring our own alcohol which saved us quite a bit of money. Not sure what their policy is now. I make my own beer and they let me serve it at the wedding.
I believe they have 3 options now. We got married at Ian's Chapel outside under the arch. We recently had brunch at the restaurant it was very good. Beautiful space to host a rehearsal dinner I would imagine.
The different venues are spaced out well and you can't really tell there are other wedding going on at the same time.
We setup a bourbon and cigar bar outside of the indoor space where we had the reception. It was a nice option for those wanting to take a break from dancing or enjoy the nice spring evening.
