Hill Country Wedding Packages — What's Actually Included

The phrase "wedding packages" means different things to different providers. At a venue like Memory Lane Ranch, a package bundles the venue, catering, DJ, florals, photography, and coordination into one price. At a planning firm like Weddings by Wendi, packages refer to the planning and coordination services — the professional team that manages your vendors, your timeline, and your wedding day experience.

This guide breaks down exactly what Weddings by Wendi offers, what each service includes, and how the pieces can work together to create a complete Texas Hill Country wedding experience.

The Core Services — Planning & Coordination

Weddings by Wendi offers two planning and coordination services. The right one depends on where you are in the planning process.

Photography — Available as an Add-On Enhancement

Wedding photography is available as an add-on to any planning or coordination service — not a bundled package requirement. Couples who add photography to their planning service benefit from something most Hill Country couples don't have access to: a husband-and-wife planning and photography team that is already fully coordinated.

When your planner and photographer are the same team, there's no miscommunication about the timeline, no last-minute coordination on portrait windows, and no gaps between what the planner scheduled and what the photographer expected. The golden hour portrait session, the cocktail hour transition, the send-off timing — all of it is built into the master timeline by the same people who will execute it.

The photography team brings 8+ years of Hill Country experience — natural light, candid moments, and deep knowledge of every major venue's best angles and golden hour conditions.

Bloom Bar — The Event Enhancement Guests Remember

The Bloom Bar is an interactive floral experience where guests select seasonal stems from a curated display and build their own bouquet to take home. It's one of the most memorable and talked-about additions to a Hill Country wedding — a cocktail hour activity, a personalized favor, and a social experience all in one.

It can be added to any wedding as a cocktail hour enhancement or booked as a standalone experience for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, or corporate events. The Petals and Prosecco format — pairing the Bloom Bar with prosecco or champagne service — is one of the most searched bridal event experiences in Texas.

All-Inclusive Venue Packages — A Different Kind of Package

If you're searching for a Hill Country wedding package that bundles everything — venue, catering, DJ, florals, photography, coordination, and lodging — into a single price, that's an all-inclusive venue package rather than a planning service.

Memory Lane Ranch in Dripping Springs is the Hill Country's premier all-inclusive venue — packages start at $15,990 for Monday through Wednesday events and include all of the above for 100 guests, with capacity up to 250. Weddings by Wendi is a partner planner at Memory Lane Ranch, meaning couples can add dedicated planning advocacy on top of the venue's included coordination.

• Mon–Wed from $15,990
• Thu from $17,990
• Fri from $20,990
• Sun from $19,990
• Sat from $21,990
