Cool And Rocking Wedding Venues Austin TX

By Rebecca Kelly


A wedding is often a once in a lifetime experience. As such, when selecting wedding venues Austin TX offers many viable locations. Some of these include the historic Driskill Hotel, Zilker Park, the Botanical Gardens and Lake Travis. For more traditional venues like churches, synagogues and temples, it is generally a requirement that the young couple meet with a minister, pastor or rabbit before booking.

While not always the case, it is important to book a venue as early as possible in the planning process. Whether looking towards an outdoor wedding in Spring, or an indoor church wedding, most facilities require nine months to a year notice. As this is the case, it is often advised the couple research a number of venues upon announcing an engagement.

While obtaining a venue is generally the first step, there are other considerations with regards to location. For example, if attendees have to use public transportation, it is important to obtain bus or train schedules in advance. As buses and trains do not operate in many areas on weekends, advance knowledge can help provide attendees with alternative modes of transportation.

When looking for a city location, the Driskill and local city parks are often good choices. The Driskill can be a great location for those operating on an unlimited budget and will often offer guests discounts on room and other charges. Otherwise, the parks can provide a great outdoor wedding experience if the couple is lucky enough to win a spot through the ongoing lottery.

When it comes to park like setting like Zilker park, it is important to note that most are obtained through a lottery system. Being that local parks are one of the most popular venues, reservations can only made ten months ahead of the event. To request entry into the lottery, submit a request in May for March, or December for October dates for the best chance in winning a spot.

When it comes to weddings in the park, these locations hold a lottery based on advance reservations. For Zilker park and the botanical gardens, couples must submit a lottery request nine months in advance of the date requested. Although, if no reservation has been made for a site within six months of the date, the site can often be booked with a deposit. Whereas, home churches or other locations may be more willing work with couples on a prepayment or payment plan basis.

The botanical gardens are an extension of Zilker park and also operated by the local parks and recreation department. The same reservation system applies to both Zilker park and the botanical gardens. In both cases, there is generally a deposit required to hold the venue once a spot has been designated or becomes available. As the gardens tend to be the most popular, it can often be easier to win a spot in Zilker which also has beautiful flora and fauna in different areas.

Ultimately, when considering a venue, it is also important to consider cost, location, decor and weather. When planning an outdoor wedding, it is often good to also have an indoor option in case of inclement weather. Whereas, location can also be important, especially in the case of out-of-town guests.
