Wedding Venues in Austin: A Florist’s Guide for 2027 Weddings
The search for wedding venues in Austin usually begins the week after the ring does. If you’re newly engaged and planning a 2027 wedding, congratulations! We’re Remi + Gold, a luxury floral atelier based in Austin, and most of our weekends are spent designing inside this city’s most beautiful rooms. This guide covers six of them: Commodore Perry Estate, Austin Proper Hotel, The Arlo, Allan House, Camp Lucy and The Addison Grove. For each one, you’ll see how the space feels in person, a wedding we designed there, and what we’ve learned about bringing florals into it.
January is when Austin venue calendars start to fill. Tours right after the holiday proposals, and the most-requested dates at venues like these are often spoken for within weeks. Tour early, ask good questions, and bring your florist into the conversation sooner than you think you need to, because your venue shapes nearly every floral decision you’ll make.
This is the second chapter of our venue series. The first, Austin's Best Wedding Venues: A Florist's Favorites, covers some of our spring wedding highlights at Hotel Saint Cecilia, Woodbine Mansion, Mattie's and three more.

How to choose a wedding venue in Austin, with your florals in mind
FAQs about wedding venues in Austin
How We Chose These Venues
Our team has designed, installed and broken down florals at every venue on this list, so we know each one by heart: where the ceremony light is best, which rooms can handle a large installation, and how load-in works the day of. Every venue has a character all its own and gives our designers something different to work with.
Since 2013, that venue knowledge has helped make Remi + Gold a true logistical powerhouse. Every wedding has a dedicated team behind it, and our designers direct the design, production and installation on site, from the first load-in to the last flip of the night. For planners and venue coordinators, that means one less thing to manage, and for newly engaged couples booking a 2027 date, it means a floral design team who has already designed in your venue and knows what it takes.
Commodore Perry Estate: A Historic Wedding Venue in the Heart of Austin
Commodore Perry Estate sits on 10 acres at 4100 Red River Street, minutes north of downtown, and it still feels like the private home it was built to be in 1928. Today it’s an Auberge resort with two Michelin Keys. Inside, designer Ken Fulk has layered the rooms with pattern, warm wood and collected art. Lutie’s Garden Restaurant sits on the grounds, and rooms in both the Mansion and the Inn mean you and your guests never have to leave.
That’s what makes it so easy to host a whole weekend here. You can get ready in a Mansion suite, say your vows in the gardens and dance until the send-off, all without anyone calling a car. It’s one of the most design-forward wedding venues in Austin, so the best florals here work with the rooms instead of competing with them.
Our Florals at Commodore Perry
For this wedding, we kept the palette soft and romantic, all blush, peach and ivory. The ceremony sat beneath the estate’s sprawling live oak, where we set white urns on tall pedestals and let garden roses, stock, delphinium and hydrangea tumble down onto the gravel. More blooms gathered at the base of the white plinths along the aisle, so the whole space felt like it had grown up around the couple.
Dinner moved inside to one of the Mansion’s wood-paneled dining rooms, glowing under a glass chandelier and candlelit sconces. We ran long, low garden roses down every table with sweet peas, carnations and ranunculus woven through, and tucked taper candles in glass hurricanes between the blooms. The peach and blush tones played off the warm wood paneling beautifully.
A Florist's Note
When you tour Commodore Perry, take note of the colors already in each room: the wood, the wallpaper, the art. The best palettes here pull from what’s already there instead of fighting it. If you’re planning a dinner indoors, ask your florist about low, lush centerpieces so guests can still see each other across the table. And if your guest list is on the larger side, the lawn can hold a tented reception, which opens the door to hanging installations and long, dramatic tablescapes.

Austin Proper Hotel: A Downtown Austin Wedding Venue Above the City
Austin Proper Hotel sits at 600 West 2nd Street in the Second Street District, right in the middle of downtown’s restaurants and shops. It hosts weddings of up to 250 guests, and La Piscina, the pool deck above the city, is one of the prettiest spots in Austin for a welcome party.
For couples with guests flying in, the whole weekend can happen under one roof. Think rehearsal dinner in The Peacock, the hotel’s private dining room, and the wedding in the Mirabeau Ballroom, with guests free to walk to dinner, coffee or Lady Bird Lake between events.
Our Florals at Austin Proper
At Austin Proper, we designed the florals for a sangeet, the night of music and dancing before the couple’s wedding at The Arlo. With afternoon sun pouring through the ballroom’s tall windows, we kept everything light and airy. Each round table held small, loose arrangements of blush lisianthus, lavender and white sweet peas, clematis and statice, set low on soft mounds of moss.
A Florist's Note
If you’re planning a daytime event here, take advantage of the ballroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows. Small, airy arrangements let all that natural light shine and keep sight lines open across the table. The carpet has a bold pattern, so a soft palette helps keep the room from feeling busy. Hosting more than one event at the hotel? Ask your florist which pieces can move from the welcome party to the main event, so your florals go further across the weekend. And since hotels book their service elevators and loading docks tightly, ask about load-in times when you tour.

The Arlo: A Modern Wedding Venue Between Austin and Dripping Springs
The Arlo sits at 10700 Signal Hill in southwest Austin, between the city and Dripping Springs. It’s an easy drive for guests staying downtown, but it still feels like you’ve slipped out into the Hill Country. Inside, there’s a ballroom and Storie Hall, a chapel room with an 18-foot window. Outside are courtyard gardens and a fireplace, plus a bridal suite and a separate groom’s cottage for getting ready.
The Arlo calls itself “modern in aesthetic, warm in feeling,” and that’s exactly how it feels in person. With clean lines, soft neutrals and plenty of glass, the space works with any palette, whether you want bold, saturated color or something soft and tonal. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception are all on site, so guests just walk from one space to the next.
Our Florals at The Arlo
For this Indian wedding at The Arlo, we built a palette of burgundy, mauve and blush with plenty of greenery. The ceremony took place in front of Storie Hall’s tall paned window, where we lined the aisle with low, meadow-style arrangements of allium, astilbe and soft greenery, keeping the window and the view behind it open.
In the ballroom, mauve and burgundy patterned linens mixed with sage and white ones under the ring chandelier. We dressed each table with loose bud vases and ceramic vessels of garden roses, calla lilies, sweet peas and deep burgundy branches. Behind the head table, a low run of greenery and blooms sat beneath three patterned panels, pulling the same tones together.
A Florist's Note
If you love color, The Arlo is a great place to use it. The white walls and pale wood floors keep the room calm, so bold blooms and patterned linens won’t feel like too much. In a ballroom this size, think about mixing long and round tables and using a few different vessel shapes. It makes the room feel more collected and less like a banquet hall. And if you’re marrying in Storie Hall, keep the ceremony florals low so the big window stays the backdrop.

The Allan House: A Victorian Wedding Venue in Downtown Austin
The Allan House, an 1883 Victorian, sits behind a canopy of old oaks at 1104 San Antonio Street, just blocks from the Capitol. It’s easy to miss from the street, which is part of its charm. Verandas wrap the house, and the courtyard opens up beneath the trees, with custom tenting so you’re covered rain or shine.
Because it’s right downtown, guests can stay at a nearby hotel and be at the ceremony in minutes, which makes The Allan House a great fit for couples with a lot of out-of-town guests. The verandas are a beautiful spot for portraits, and the courtyard works for everything from an intimate dinner to a full reception under the tent.
Our Florals at The Allan House
After a church ceremony, this couple brought their guests back to The Allan House for a party under the tent. We turned the tent ceiling into a canopy of hanging greenery woven with string lights. Long tables in botanical-print linens held low, loose arrangements of peach ranunculus, blush roses, lavender and deep burgundy blooms, tucked between rattan lamps and candles in glass hurricanes. Round tables in lilac and sage linens got smaller arrangements in the same palette.
Inside, tall arrangements of garden roses framed the bar beneath a crystal chandelier, and the cake sat on an olive velvet table surrounded by blooms. Out on the veranda, cocktail tables in the same botanical linens held simple bud vases for guests to gather around between dinner and dancing.
A Florist's Note
If you’re hosting under a tent, don’t forget to look up. The ceiling is a blank canvas, and hanging greenery or florals overhead can turn an open courtyard into a space that feels intimate and complete. At The Allan House, guests tend to drift between the tent, the house and the verandas all night, so plan florals for more than just the dinner tables. The bar, the cake table and the veranda are where people gather between courses, and a few arrangements in those spots go a long way.

Camp Lucy: A Hill Country Wedding Venue Near Austin
Camp Lucy is a resort at 3509 Creek Road in Dripping Springs, about 30 minutes southwest of downtown Austin. It has five wedding spaces, including Ian’s Chapel, the Arch Overlook and the Great Hall at Sacred Oaks, plus suites, estate rooms and cottages so guests can stay on the property. There’s also Folklore Spa, which Condé Nast Traveler named one of the world’s best new hotel spas for 2026.
It feels like a destination wedding without the flight. Guests arrive Friday, explore the grounds, book a spa treatment and settle in for the weekend. You can say your vows at the chapel, take cocktails at the overlook and dance the night away in the Great Hall, each one with its own setting for florals.
Our Florals at Camp Lucy
This couple went moody and romantic, with deep wine tones and plenty of fresh green. They said their vows on the lawn in front of Ian’s Chapel, its stone bell tower rising behind the last row of chairs. We set a low, garden-gathered arrangement at the end of every row: burgundy dahlias, plum calla lilies, purple clematis and allium, with bells of Ireland and soft apricot blooms woven through.
Inside, the hall’s timber beams, candle chandeliers and stone fireplace set a warm, glowing mood. Long wooden farm tables and round tables in white linen held a mix of slender bud vases, tall candle cylinders and low ceramic vessels filled with clematis, sweet peas, calla lilies and hydrangea, set off by green goblets and forest napkins. After the ceremony, we moved the aisle arrangements to line the front of the band stage, so the ceremony flowers framed the dance floor all night.
A Florist's Note
With five spaces to choose from, start by deciding where each part of your day will happen, because each setting calls for something different. On the lawn in front of Ian’s Chapel, low arrangements at the end of each row keep the chapel in view. At the Arch Overlook, an asymmetrical installation frames the Hill Country view without blocking it. Inside the halls, the timber beams and columns are perfect for hanging or wrapped greenery, and the warm wood and stone pair beautifully with candlelight and rich color. If your ceremony and reception are in different spaces, ask your florist which pieces can move with you.

The Addison Grove: A Rustic-Modern Barn Wedding Venue in Austin
The Addison Grove sits at 11903 Fitzhugh Road in southwest Austin, less than 20 minutes from downtown, and has been hosting weddings since 2015. The heart of the property is a 6,000-square-foot barn that’s rustic and polished at the same time, with timber beams, grand chandeliers and air conditioning, a real gift for a Texas summer wedding.
Outside, the covered patio is perfect for cocktail hour, and couples can marry by the pond or beneath the trees in the grove, where chandeliers hang from the branches. When it’s time for dinner, the barn’s rolling glass doors open up, so the grove stays part of the night.
Our Florals at The Addison Grove
For this ceremony in the grove, we worked in a warm palette of peach, terracotta and blush garden roses, with white orchids and touches of deep burgundy. Two asymmetrical installations framed the couple at the end of the aisle, rising from clear plinths and spilling down onto the stone. Low, garden-style arrangements anchored the first rows on either side and carried the same blooms down the aisle.
Inside the barn, we hung lush greenery installations from the beams, dotted with disco balls that caught the late-afternoon light. Tall arrangements on gold stands rose above the round tables, and the long farm tables, dressed in floral jacquard runners and olive napkins, held low clusters of peach roses, ranunculus and cosmos between taper candles. On either side of the sweetheart table, cascading arrangements of roses and white orchids spilled from clear plinths, echoing the installations from the ceremony.
A Florist's Note
If you’re marrying in the grove, let the trees do some of the framing. Installations placed off to one side, or tucked around the trunks, look more natural here than a full arch. For the reception, ask whether the barn’s glass doors can stay open, since the grove makes a beautiful backdrop for dinner and it’s worth echoing those greens in your table florals. Look up, too. The beams are made for hanging greenery, and paired with the chandeliers or a few mirror balls, it adds a lot of impact overhead. And because the barn is air-conditioned, delicate blooms like garden roses and orchids hold up well, even on a summer night.

How to Choose a Wedding Venue in Austin, With Your Florals in Mind
Book your venue first and your florist soon after, because the venue shapes nearly every floral decision you'll make. Ceiling height, light, and the rules about candles and installations decide what's possible. Here's what we tell newly engaged couples as they start touring.
Know your guest count before you tour. Capacity rules out venues faster than anything else, and it saves you from falling for a room that can’t hold your people.
Visit at your ceremony hour. The same space looks different at noon than at golden hour in October, and the light changes the palette we'd recommend.
Ask what’s allowed. Open-flame candles, hanging installations and fastening anything to historic walls or trees all come with restrictions, and those shape the design.
Ask about load-in and load-out. When can vendors arrive, and when must everything be gone? Large installations take hours, and a tight window changes the plan.
Take the rain plan seriously. In Texas, you may end up using it, so ask to see the backup space and picture your ceremony there.
Book your florist soon after your venue. Once your contract is signed, reach out. Spring and fall dates fill quickly for florists too, especially after engagement season, and we do our best work when we’re involved early.

Wedding Venues in Austin: Your Questions, Answered
What are the best wedding venues in Austin?
The best wedding venue in Austin is the one that fits the celebration you’re planning. Commodore Perry Estate and The Allan House suit a grand, historic wedding, Austin Proper a downtown hotel weekend, The Arlo a love of modern architecture, and Camp Lucy a Hill Country getaway. Laguna Gloria on Lake Austin, The Driskill downtown and Barr Mansion in northeast Austin are longtime favorites too, and our first venue guide covers six more.
Which wedding venues in Austin work well for a multi-day celebration?
Hotels and resorts with several event spaces make multi-day weddings easiest. Austin Proper Hotel can host a welcome party, sangeet or rehearsal dinner and the wedding under one roof, and Camp Lucy’s five spaces and on-site lodging keep guests together all weekend. Many couples also split events across venues, with a welcome party or sangeet downtown and the wedding in the Hill Country.
Which wedding venues in Austin are near downtown?
Austin Proper Hotel and The Allan House are both in downtown Austin, and Commodore Perry Estate is a short drive north on Red River Street. The Driskill on Sixth Street, Hotel Van Zandt on Rainey Street and Four Seasons Austin on Lady Bird Lake are other downtown options. All of them keep out-of-town guests close to the city’s restaurants and nightlife.
Which Austin wedding venues have lodging for guests?
Commodore Perry Estate, Austin Proper Hotel and Camp Lucy all have rooms on site, so guests can stay where you celebrate. Camp Lucy offers suites, cottages and a spa, which makes it a natural fit for a full wedding weekend. Omni Barton Creek Resort and Four Seasons Austin also pair event spaces with guest rooms.
Are there luxury wedding venues in Austin with bridal suites?
Yes. The Arlo has a dedicated bridal suite and a separate groom’s cottage, and hotel venues like Austin Proper and Commodore Perry Estate have suites for getting ready.
Which wedding venues near Austin have a Hill Country feel?
Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs, The Addison Grove off Fitzhugh Road and The Arlo, between Austin and Dripping Springs, all bring Hill Country scenery without a long drive. Addison Grove is less than 20 minutes from downtown, and Camp Lucy is about 30, close enough for guests staying in the city. Prospect House in Dripping Springs and The Greenhouse at Driftwood are two more Hill Country favorites.
Which Austin wedding venues let you have the ceremony and reception in one place?
All six venues in this guide can host both. The Arlo pairs its chapel with a ballroom, Camp Lucy and The Addison Grove have separate ceremony and reception spaces on the same grounds, and The Allan House can hold both in its courtyard and under the tent. Staying in one place also lets your florist repurpose ceremony pieces at the reception.
When should I book my wedding florist?
Book your wedding florist soon after you sign your venue contract. Your venue shapes so much of the floral design, and the most-requested dates fill quickly for floral studios as well as venues. If you got engaged over the holidays and you’re planning a 2027 wedding, aim to reach out by early spring.
Does Remi + Gold design weddings outside Austin?
Yes. Remi + Gold is based in Austin and also designs weddings in Richmond, Virginia; Washington, DC; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Telluride, Colorado, and travels for destination celebrations.
