Dripping Springs Wedding Planner
Known as the Wedding Capital of Texas, Dripping Springs is home to some of the most stunning wedding venues in the Hill Country — including Memory Lane Ranch, Vista West Ranch, and The Creek Haus. Wendi has coordinated more weddings here than anywhere else, with firsthand experience at each one.
The Wedding Capital of Texas
"Dripping Springs is where I've spent more time than anywhere else — and I still find new things to love about it every season."
Dripping Springs earned its reputation as Texas's wedding capital honestly. Nestled in the Hill Country just 30 minutes west of Austin, this small city is home to a remarkable concentration of world-class wedding venues — from hilltop ranches with panoramic views to intimate creek-side properties tucked into the cedar.
Memory Lane Ranch & Lodge, Vista West Ranch, and The Creek Haus — Wendi's favorite Dripping Springs venues, each one she knows firsthand. Memory Lane Ranch is her top recommendation for couples who want a private, stress-free celebration with on-site lodging. That insider knowledge is something no directory or venue tour can replicate — she knows which properties are easiest to work with, which vendors they prefer, and exactly how to make the most of each setting.
For couples considering Dripping Springs, Wendi's familiarity with the local landscape is one of the most practical advantages you can have on your planning journey.

A venue coordinator manages the venue — its staff, spaces, and rules — not your wedding as a whole. A dedicated planner or day-of coordinator manages your vendors, timeline, and the details unique to your celebration, and advocates for you. The two roles complement each other; most couples benefit from having both.
