Looking for that true Texas atmosphere at your wedding? We are taking a venue tour this week of the area’s Ranches & Wineries. We have the run down to get you started on your Austin wedding venue search.
La Bonne Vie Ranch
The quintessential Texas Hill Country wedding ranch experience begins with La Bonne Vie Ranch.
At La Bonne Vie Ranch your wedding begins in the picturesque open-air chapel. The exterior looks just like a quaint country church, complete with white clapboard and stained-glass windows. The vaulted roof features long, wooden beams and beautiful chandeliers that add a touch of elegance.
Your reception will be held in a luxury barn-styled venue. The space has wooden walls made of reclaimed wood and soaring wood-beamed ceilings. Elegant chandeliers reflect along the beautiful flooring, and the venue seats 175 people comfortably.
The bride’s room makes a beautiful backdrop for your getting-ready photos. It has an old-school Hollywood feel with illuminated vanities, a small fridge and a private bathroom.
Additionally, there are plenty of guest rooms onsite at the venue. There are eight darling cabins onsite, a large Lodge with fifteen bedrooms, and a farmhouse perfect for couples with a suite, spa style bathroom, and a private sauna.
Bringing your furry friend along? La Bonne Vie even has a private kennel onsite!
The Ranch House at Teravista
Want the ranch look without the drive? Look no further than the Ranch House of Teravista.
Situated on the Teravista Golf Club property, you’ll be transported the moment you enter the gates. The historic German-style ranch house gives off Old World elegance and charm with natural stones, a generous front porch and wooden beams.
Your choice of ceremonies includes a location on the beautifully landscaped grounds with a view of the lake as your backdrop. The Ranch House porch is also a favorite ceremony spot among couples. The white chairs can line front of the house while couples get married on the porch.
Additionally, couples have their choice of reception locations as well. The house features a recently created covered back porch perfect for outdoor weddings even when there may be a sprinkle or two in the air.
Couples looking for a fully indoor wedding have the inside of the Ranch House as an option. The space features sparkling chandeliers and an elegantly draped ceiling. The large windows allow for views of the picturesque grounds.
All your details will be well in hand with their experienced and attentive professionals!
