Wedding vendors in Austin, TX

Austin has become one of the country's favorite places to get married, and it shows in the venues: Hill Country ranches, vineyards and limestone chapels in Dripping Springs and Wimberley, lakefront venues on Lake Travis, and rooftops and warehouses Downtown and on the East Side. Floral and venue pricing has climbed with the demand, while much of the rest stays reasonable. Here's what an Austin wedding actually costs, where couples are getting married, and when to book, plus a shortcut to vetted, available Austin vendors matched to your date and budget.

Where couples get married in Austin

The Hill Country

Ranches, vineyards and stone chapels in Dripping Springs, Wimberley and Johnson City, the region's signature setting, usually with lodging nearby.

Downtown & East Austin

Rooftops, converted warehouses and boutique hotels for an urban celebration close to the music and restaurants.

Lake Travis & the west

Lakefront venues and hilltop estates with sunset views, twenty to forty minutes from the city.

Georgetown, Round Rock & the north

Historic downtown squares, gardens and estates with more availability and gentler minimums than the Hill Country.

When to book in Austin

March through May and October through November are Austin's peak, and Hill Country Saturdays in those windows book 12 months or more ahead. Summer is hot enough that most couples choose an evening or indoor celebration, which is also when venues offer their best rates. Watch the calendar for SXSW, ACL and UT home-game weekends, which fill hotels and push transportation costs up.

Common questions

Austin prices moderately overall, with venues and especially florals running above what the rest of Texas charges because of the metro's destination demand, while catering, music and hair and makeup stay reasonable. The venue and catering drive most of the total, and guest count is the biggest lever. The ranges above are a starting point from real vendor pricing in our Austin data, and Our Day negotiates exclusive rates on your behalf.
