Unique And Unusual 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.

Cost and location are often the two most important factors when booking a wedding venue. Couples need first consider these when researching different venues. In most cases, bookings can be made within nine months to a year in advance. While it is always important to book well in advance, those participating in a lottery need do so according to venue guidelines.

Depending on the health and well being of guests, it is also important to consider food, location and transportation. For, while Austin, Texas has a good transit system, not all lines operate on weekends. As such, if planning an event on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, it may be necessary to provide other alternatives when it comes to transportation.

One of the most expensive, and notable venues is that of the Driskill hotel. The Driskill is one of the oldest operating hotels in Austin. Located right in the middle of the entertainment district, it is also one of the most popular and preferred. In addition, there are a number of horse and carriage operators which reside just outside the hotel doors on most evenings and weekends throughout the year.

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.

As there is currently a large influx of people moving to Austin from other areas, it is best to book any venue well in advance. Most often, places can be reserved nine months to a year in advance, and even longer in some cases. While there are a number of traditional venues in the area, couples in a hurry can still opt for going to a Justice of the Peace, then hosting a wedding party at a later date when a desired venue becomes available.

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.

In locating the perfect venue, couples get a head start on a happy life. As it can often be difficult to obtain a venue for a specific date, couples may want to remain flexible while also waiting to send out invitations until a booking is confirmed. Then, once a location is set, it is time to start planning all the other fun aspects such as catering, flowers, photography and others.
