Austin Wedding Planner
From rooftop venues downtown to sprawling ranch estates on the city's edge — Austin offers a wedding landscape as vibrant and diverse as the city itself. Wendi knows every corner of it.
Texas's Most Dynamic Wedding City
"Austin couples bring big personalities and bold visions — and I love every second of bringing those visions to life."
Austin is unlike any other wedding market in Texas. It's a city that blends world-class urban venues with easy access to the Hill Country — meaning couples can choose anything from a sleek downtown event space to a cedar-draped ranch just 30 minutes from the city center.
As an Austin wedding planner with over 15 years of experience, Wendi has built deep relationships with the city's best venues, photographers, caterers, florists, and entertainment vendors. That network is your advantage — it means easier bookings, better pricing, and vendors who show up ready to perform.
Whether you're envisioning an intimate urban ceremony, a grand Hill Country estate wedding just outside the city, or anything in between — hiring an Austin wedding coordinator who knows this market means smoother planning, fewer surprises, and a day that runs exactly as envisioned.
Austin Wedding Venue Styles
From downtown elegance to Hill Country ranches — Austin's wedding venue landscape is one of the most varied in Texas.
Urban Event Spaces
Downtown Austin rooftops, industrial lofts, converted historic buildings, and boutique hotel ballrooms — ideal for couples who want a sophisticated city wedding with Austin's skyline as the backdrop.
Hill Country Ranches
Just outside Austin's city limits, the Hill Country begins. Cedar-draped ranches, live oak estates, and open-sky venues within 30–45 minutes of downtown — the best of both worlds.
Garden & Estate Venues
Lush botanical gardens, private estate grounds, and curated outdoor settings throughout the Austin area — perfect for garden-style ceremonies and outdoor receptions.
Historic Properties
Austin's rich history means stunning historic venues — from 19th century homesteads to mid-century ranches and restored commercial spaces with character and soul.
