Some Recommended Wedding Venues in Austin, Texas
and Surrounding Areas

Some of these locations may offer accommodations, dining/catering, or spa facilities.

Chapel Dulcinea
Austin, Texas

Chapel Dulcinea is a romantic, open-air Wedding Chapel funded by the friends and graduates of Wizard Academy. Donations make it possible for them to offer the Chapel at no charge.

Located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Austin, it sits barely visible from FM 1826, quietly but daringly on the edge of an ancient walking trail overlooking the Texas hill country.

This small, open-air chapel has seating for 12. Standing-room capacity under the roof can accomodate 30 to 35. Another 60 to 65 would be able to view from the extended patio area. However, they would get wet in the event of rain. A much larger crowd can watch from outside the patio area.

Where old world charm meets hill country hospitality on a 21-acre converted horse farm.  Revel in the joy of a fairy tale wedding underneath the spreading oaks.  Receive your first guests as husband and wife at an elegant reception in their Great Room beneath a wooden cathedral ceiling and sparkling candelabra.  Their custom floral and decorating service will create a magical day for you and your guests.  Their personal bridal coordination leave you care free to live like a princess.  At the close of your reception, a horse drawn carriage can carry you away into your own happily ever after.  If you prefer, you can stay overnight in their romantic bridal suite.  They even have additional lodging for up to twelve guests so that you can spend more time with the special people in your lives.  Elegance, comfort, affordability - a dream come true. 

Festival Institute at Round Top, Texas
(between Austin and Houston)

Located in historic Round Top, Texas, The James Dick Foundation for the Performing Arts and its sole project, The International Festival-Institute at Round Top, were founded in 1972 by world-renowned concert pianist James Dick. Begun with a handful of gifted young pianists in rented space on the town square, the project is now an internationally acclaimed European-styled music institute for aspiring young musicians and distinguished faculty.

Over a thirty year period and with the help of its patrons and friends, The James Dick Foundation for the Performing Arts has developed superb year round education and performance programs. It has created also an unique 200-acre campus - Festival Hill - containing major performance facilities, historic houses, extensive gardens, parks and nature preserves. Through its singular collection of rare books, manuscripts, archival material, music and historic recordings, photographs and objects, the Festival-Institute is also known as an important center for research and scholarly study.
