Our wedding at Morgan Creek Barn was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire MCB team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. Danielle, our planner, was incredible throughout the entire process. She kept everything organized, on track, and stress-free, ensuring every detail was completed on time so our wedding day could run seamlessly. On the day of the wedding, we worked with Carrie as our day-of coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing. She handled the timeline and logistics flawlessly, allowing us to stay calm, present, and fully enjoy every moment of the day and night. We also had a wonderful experience with Design Haus through Morgan Creek Barn. The floral arrangements were stunning and exceeded our expectations—they truly brought our vision to life. We couldn’t recommend Morgan Creek Barn more highly for anyone looking to get married in Dripping Springs. It was the perfect venue, supported by an exceptional team that genuinely cares about making your day special.

Austin, TX
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

The French Romanesque style Chateau Bellevue dates all the way back to the year 1874 when Harvey and Catherine North built the estate, which was subsequently acquired by different individuals until it finally became the charming historic wedding venue that it is today. On your wedding day you will feel as if you and your guests have been whisked away to an elegant French estate. This venue features gorgeous arches and hand-carved woodwork that add special touches to any style or sized wedding ceremony. You have access to spaces such as the Chateau Ballroom and the Evans Dining Room. In addition to these indoor spaces, you can also use the porches and courtyard found outdoors. Regardless of which space you choose, you will be able to revel in the old world charm while still being able to enjoy a chic style and the comforts of modern conveniences. In addition to ceremonies and receptions, these sites are also perfect for hosting wedding showers, engagement parties, and rehearsal dinners.

Chateau Bellevue was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we first contacted them, the staff was incredibly quick to respond and personable in their communication. We knew right away that they would be a great fit. On the day of the wedding, they exceeded our expectations - the venue looked stunning with the table and chair setup they provided, and having their two huge parking lots in downtown Austin was an absolute lifesaver. Our wedding party was even able to park overnight and walk to the nearby bar district after the reception. This hidden gem of a venue is not only historic and charming, but also an incredible value. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. I would highly recommend Chateau Bellevue to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding experience.

The space is absolutely gorgeous and ready to take on the energy of your event. The location is breathtaking at night in such a gorgeous area of downtown. Make use of the projector screen in the corner of the venue as it can’t be pulled out of sight- we aired a black and white movie during the reception and it added such a flair to the entire event. Everyone was easy and professional to work with, and I had the best wedding day.

The property itself is such a standout in Austin. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how unique the space felt compared to more traditional venues. What really made the experience exceptional, though, was the team. Every detail was handled with care and intention, and we always felt like a priority. Communication was consistent, thoughtful, and proactive, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the process. On the wedding day itself, everything flowed effortlessly. The team anticipated needs before we even had to ask, allowing us to fully be present and enjoy the moment. The food and beverage experience was another highlight... elevated, well-executed, and far beyond typical “wedding food.” Our guests are still talking about it.

My husband and I used the hotel for our room block and wedding...it was the best weekend of our lives! Erin and Lexi with the event planning team were simply unreal to work with. They were responsive, efficient, and made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed. There was a mechanical issue with the AC in the Milton suite that we were using to get ready in and Erin made sure that there was multiple portable ACs in the room so we weren't warm....we were actually cold, ha! She figured out a solution in 0.2 seconds and made sure we were kept in the loop. The food at the wedding was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Every guest was saying how it was incredible and came out HOT (which is a big deal, ha!). The drinks were flowing and soooo tasty. The staff who worked the wedding were kind, fast, and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I also had drinks. Wedding cake was extremely yummy too!! The hotel's venue space was ICONIC. As a couple who live in Austin, we wanted our guests to get the Austin vibe. From the lobby, courtyard, surrounding restaurants in the hotel, hotel bar, reception space....hotel rooms...everything was perfect. The customer service at this hotel is top tier for guests staying at the hotel AND for wedding couples. I highly recommend any and all couples wanting to get married in Austin to book this space. You WILL be happy. Your guests will also love to stay here with the room block!!

We had our Indian wedding in March of 2024 and it was a dream come true thanks to Hotel Viata. We had multiple events spread over a couple of venues but Hotel Viata hosted our guests the entire weekend as well as several of our events. We had a LGBTQ Indian wedding and they truly rose to the occasion. Our main contact Kelsey was FANTASTIC, but we truly received top notch service from everyone-from the folks that welcomed us at the desk to the bartenders and servers at our events. They went above and beyond to learn about our traditions and make each of events special. Honestly, we felt like extended family and our guests raved about the experience. The love, openness and celebratory affection they radiated our entire weekend…well that was priceless. Within their ability, they truly tried to make all of our wishes come true. One example of their kindness was when Kelsey went above and beyond and grabbed food for one of our best friend’s young kids…just because we wanted to make sure she had something that she would definitely eat. We’ll always remember our wedding with love and fondness….it was such a special time. And we’ll always be grateful to Hotel Viata for making our 20-year long dream come true. Highly recommend them for any of your special events.

Our wedding at Vintage Villas Hotel & Events was absolutely perfect. The event center had so much space and looked stunning, and the ceremony gazebo felt like something straight out of a fairytale. Samantha, the sales rep, really listened to what we wanted and helped us find the right package for our budget. The whole team was responsive and made sure every detail came together smoothly. One thing to know going in is that they work more like a venue planner than a full-service coordinator, so you'll be involved in a lot of the planning yourself—we're type A people, and it still felt like a lot, so if you're not super organized, definitely hire a separate planner. That said, they're totally upfront about what to expect, and we loved how much control we had over our day. The hotel made it super easy for our guests driving in to stay, and it helped extend the weekend of love and joy with our favorite people.
