About this vendor
Camino Real is a one-of-a-kind venue tucked away in the rugged countryside of central Texas. The expansive property is an ideal choice for a style-conscious couple who wishes to escape the hustle and bustle for a celebration surrounded by nature, yet be conveniently located to downtown Austin and all its amenities.
Palms fronds rustle in the breeze as the sun shines brightly upon Camino Real Ranch. The ranch is a beautifully designed property surrounded by a modern desert landscape featuring mesquite groves, agave, and a pond of sparkling clear water. The property has been designed with a minimalist, clean aesthetic that takes full advantage of the area's ample natural light. The distinct arch of its Quonset Hut welcomes parties for a sophisticated reception. Its bright neutral color scheme paired with minimal décor (bar some select plant life) allows the room to breathe, highlighting its spaciousness. Elsewhere, a larger celebration can be held in the climate-controlled greenhouse. The wooden doors of its entrance can be used to frame a sun-kissed outdoor ceremony. Surrounding the event the couple can relax and unwind in our farmhouse and cabin, both original to the farm and dating back to the 1940s. A blend of mid-century modern and vintage design create spaces that are uncommonly stylish.
Celebrations at Camino Real are a stylish and well-catered-for affair. The management have put a lot of love and care into building the venue, and this is complemented by their commitment to serving couples without pretension.

Camino Real Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding, with its stunning atmosphere that truly matched us as a couple. The venue managers were amazing to work with and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. One thoughtful touch was providing a golf cart to shuttle us and some guests around the property, making it easy and convenient to move between each building. The entire experience at Camino Real Ranch was exceptional, adding to the magic of our day!
We fell in love with Camino Real Ranch and never looked back. We love the vibe of the greenhouse and the two bridal party suites are incredible. The team is super helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!!!
My husband and I are on the more quirky side and felt like every venue we visited in Austin was a bit too rustic and country. Camino Real was perfection. The price was great and it was so incredibly easy to work with the owners. We actually had our wedding a week after a change of ownership but both sets of owners were helpful relaxed and incredible. This venue has the perfect desert chic Palm Springs meets Joshua tree meets marfa vibes. It is a bit out of the city but it was a non issue for us and our guests and super easy to Uber to
The venue is gorgeous! It's spacious with lots of fun photo spots and places for folks to gather. We were lucky that the weather was beautiful so were able to take advantage of the outside spaces. The fountain wasn't on during the ceremony but I didn't realize that until later. I Dani was helpful and easy to work with. I would recommend using their setup and breakdown crew, just make sure to be clear in how you want the space setup. Overall we had a great day and would highly recommend this venue!
We got married here in November 2023. It was an excellent time from start to finish. Camino Real Ranch is an incredibly unique wedding venue and is perfect for couples looking for something other than the traditional Texas "barn" or "ranch" wedding venues. The team at Camino is incredible and will be attentive to your needs and requests. There are a lot of furniture freebies and other add-ons available that will make it super easy to get the venue decked out for a sweet wedding. All our vendors had been to Camino before and didn't have any issues with load-in, electric, load-out, etc, etc.
Our guests loved the layout of the venue and how all the different parts of our wedding had dedicated spaces, between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Some of our guests who were not big dancing types loved the outdoor fire pit. We had 121 guests and I think this venue is perfect for ~125. More could fit, but it would start feeling a bit cozy. The wedding party loved that we could drive right down to the bridal suite, and the groom/groomsmen appreciated having a dedicated space to get ready and hang out before the ceremony.
We would get married here again!
I had a great experience with this venue.
The owners and staff were really quick to always answer my questions and kept me up-to-date with any info I needed for the day of.
The girls and I loved the cottage for getting ready and the spaces are really beautiful. I also felt like there was a great flow moving each event from space to space.
My wedding was mid-September and the temps that day were mid-90's to high 70's. We rented an AC (through the venue) for the greenhouse and were perfectly comfortable.
There were only a few call outs, but nothing major at all and I still highly recommend this venue. The boys don't have a bathroom in their cabin which we obviously knew going into it, but in practice they weren't thrilled with having to walk into the hut each time. There was an event happening next door and we could hear their music. Not something the venue could control of course. One other item is that it felt a little too dark at night (maybe it's just me and my bad vision though). Adding an option for a little bit more lights outside and a just a few more in the greenhouse and hut could be beneficial IMO.
Overall I loved Camino!
One of the most stunning wedding venues I have ever been to. The second we toured the venue we knew this was the perfect place for our wedding. It is so unique and there is such a wide variety of spaces, it makes the day feel like a whole experience for the guests. The staff had great communication throughout the planning process, was extremely helpful day of for set up and break down, and even after when we lost some items ha! The sunsets out here are unmatched and we had so many guests comment that they have never been to a wedding venue like this before. We wanted our day to feel laid back and like a big hangout and the atmosphere of Camino definitely made that happen with the addition of yard games, their permanent install neon, and options for food trucks (which we took full advantage of and had two!!) I could go on and on, we love this place!!
We had our wedding at Camino Real Ranch in May of 2023 and had the best experience! The owners were fantastic to work with and the all inclusive package through Blue Events & Co made the entire planning process easy and fun. Our guests cannot stop talking about how great the venue was!
From the moment we had our venue tour, we knew Camino was the right venue for us. We didn't even see any other venues, we chose it after the walkthrough. (partially thanks to The Knot for doing a good job showing us other options without haven't to actually go see them). The space is a dream come true - with both indoor and outdoor options. The bridal suite is huge, which I appreciated having a big bridal party. They also did a great job decorating the whole place with such attention to detail. It's the perfect desert chic in Austin vibe. Let's not forget the team working there - everyone we came in contact with was not only knowledgable but so friendly. You could feel their excitement & commitment to your big day from day one. I would recommend Camino to anyone and everyone!
What a beautiful, natural and relaxed space to celebrate such an important time and event in a couple's life. The natural space and lighting mixed with the perfect balance of modern architecture makes this space so easy to turn it into everything we wanted for our special day! Jenn and Nicole were so helpful, responsive and understanding of what our vision was, how to help and quick with information and resources. Being from Vegas and Texas, it was perfect space that fit our vibe with desert feel on a Texas ranch. Our friends and family from all over the country loved being outdoors, surrounded by trees for the ceremony and fire pit and the new turf in the Greenhouse really elevated our space for dancing and dinner! It was a hit!! We can't thank Jenn and Nicole enough for creating a space that my husband and I were able to connect and share on our wedding day!
This was such a beautiful space that really allowed both us and our guests to spread out and get comfortable on the day of, instead of crowding into one place. The atmosphere is immaculate, not cheesy at all. It even looks beautiful in the rain and the add-on lighting that you can get through the team here is super reasonably priced. We had such a wonderful time and our guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed it too!
We got married at Camino Real Ranch in August and it was perfect! Camino Real Ranch is in Dale, TX which is located only 30 minutes outside of Austin. Our guests have complimented us on how beautiful and unique the venue space was. We felt that there was plenty of room for all of the guests to move around and mingle. Jenn and Nicole were always so easy and great to work. They communicated information to us quickly and were always there to answer any of our questions. I would 10/10 recommend getting married at Camino Real Ranch!!
Camino Real Ranch made our wedding unforgettable. From a communication standpoint, Jenn and Nicole made everything so simple and walked us through everything that we needed to get done. They worked very well with our coordinator and caterer. What you want from a venue is confidence that they will work to make your wedding day memorable, and we definitely got that. They even worked with us to split the cost of a great AC unit between all the weddings that weekend, which helped greatly to combat the crazy Texas summer heat. And of course, the venue is beautiful. There are different locations you can have the ceremony and reception. There are also good options in case there is rain. We definitely recommend you touring this venue and seeing if it's for you!
Camino Real Ranch made our day so perfect! The venue was beautiful, and the staff was so easy and helpful to work with. My husband and I highly recommend!
We used Camino’s wedding package and we could not feel more lucky to have had them though this experience. They were professional and the entire process was 10000% stress free. Each of the vendors in the package knew each other and I feel like it just created this bond / familial vibe with everyone in attendance that we loved. Every person who was at our wedding said it was their favorite wedding and I really feel like Camino was a HUGE part in making that happen. It is a gorgeous venue and the packages just made everything so easy. Thank you Jen and Nicole!
Camino Real was the perfect venue for our wedding. My fiancé and I looked time and time again at multiple venues and we just just couldn’t find one that we absolutely loved. We hesitantly decided on another venue, and before signing all the documents and such, our photographer last minute reached out to us and recommended we check out Camino. We decided to do so, and the second we walked in there we knew it was the venue for us. Everything about it is just absolutely perfect. Not to mention, the owners are the sweetest people on earth. They were so prompt, responsive, and very open about fees, policies, etc. They were absolutely no surprises or fees we did not know about. If I could get married here over and over again I would!! I highly recommend!
We had our wedding here in March 2022 and it did not disappoint. Beautiful and well-thought-of space, so unique! So many different spaces within the venue that have their individual vibe. A plus is that the owners, Jenn + Nicole, are so sweet and easy to work with.
We got married here on February 25th. I don't remember how I found Camino Real but as soon as I saw it, I scheduled a tour and immediately booked it then and there. The whole ranch is just so beautiful. I wanted an outdoor/indoor space that didn't feel like another farmhouse/barn aesthetic and Jen + Nicole really but their heart into making this space an eclectic modern desert dream. Not just that, but they were wonderful communicators, from day one if I had any questions, they were on top of answering those and getting back to me even in all the wedding season craziness. Unfortunately for us, our wedding day was FREEZING and a bit drizzly. So we had to move everything indoors, however, the venue was still amazing, warm and full of love. Our guests were obsessed with the space, and I want to thank the two women behind the venue for allowing my little DIY self come in and decorate early and make my vision a reality. I also loved the bridal house! Overall, I wish I could rent this space again. I'm officially Camino's #1 fan and if anyone in the central tx area asks me for venue recommendations, I'll have nothing but good things to say about this beautiful space.
We just had our wedding here on 4/2/22 and it was stunningly perfect. I really can’t find words to say that describe how perfect the day was. Camino played a huge part in that and this venue will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We had countless guests compliment us on the venue and said it was the coolest and most unique wedding venue they had ever been to. This was exactly what we wanted to hear! Several of our guests were not from Texas and majority of them from other areas of Texas, so Camino really captured the Austin vibes we were looking for. If you want a space to really WOW your guests in a unique way please book Camino! On top of all of that, the venue owners truly are invested in your day and are so flexible which makes the world of a difference. We would get married here a million times over again. We wish we could rewind and do it all again!
Camino Real Ranch is such a gorgeous venue. The team is super responsive and helpful, providing couples with awesome vendor teams to make their wedding dreams really come true. It's spacious, with unique and aesthetic spaces that you'll want a million photos of. Book them for your wedding!
Absolutely perfect. How something so simple could be so profound in detail at the same time is the best way for me to describe this venue and it’s amazing staff. From our very first visit with Jenn + Nicole we were welcomed with open arms and had every single question and concern tended to. The day of staff was very helpful as well! There is so much possibility within the CRR venue, that whatever your vision and style is it can easily come to life. I shopped around many different venues, but none were like CRR. Their in house decor, furniture, and seating options are all so naturally beautiful that minimal additional decor can go along way. We had a rather large wedding and had to hire a shuttle service to bus guests, so our only “complaint” is that the parking lot is on the smaller size (only having space for 60 cars) but the CRR ladies guided us on how to address the problem. All of our guests loved the uniqueness of the venue and have given us nothing but compliments! Would highly recommend getting married at CRR!!
We love the open space that Camino provides as a venue with 6 acres of open space and several different buildings for the bridal party and guests to get ready and socialize in. Each building has its own personality and character and adds so much to photos/the aesthetic without having to add much decor. It's hard to find a venue with an industrial/boho/southern style in Texas-- but THIS IS IT! Camino is an extremely practical and stylish venue that's worth every penny. We also love the professionalism that the staff carried with us throughout the whole process. They are extremely warm and so ready to help with whatever need arises!
As soon as we got engaged everyone asked when the wedding was, so my husband and I visited seven venues in the Austin area.
While other venue's asked about catering and floral, the Camino Real Ranch women asked, "why are you having a wedding?" This question allowed us to stop and remember why we wanted to celebrate with family and friends. That first conversation guided our wedding planning process. We are so thankful for a venue who did not just expect us to check the boxes.
The ranch is 25 minutes South of Austin and a pretty straight drive. Do you have guests traveling for your wedding? That quick drive past flat pastures and longhorn ranches reminds you that you're in Texas.
The venue is spacious and gorgeous. No need for complicated space flips or cramming people in when you can spread out wedding events through the hut, greenhouse, and yard. We had dinner outside, ceremony and reception in the greenhouse, the hut was a welcome area. I'd highly recommend setting the fire pit: we found a lot of guests socializing around the flames with s'mores.
Camino Real Ranch also has furniture available at no additional cost, which saved us a ton of money on tables and chairs. The farmhouse tables are gorgeous and there is no need for linens. (In a previous life I planned events and there is nothing as frustrating as being nickel and dimed over renting tablecloths!)
Jenn and Nicole are wedding veterans who were easy to work with and communicate clearly. When my mom got sick before the event, I rented her a golf cart so that she could have autonomy and get around the venue. Jenn and Nicole were flexible and worked directly with the vendor to support drop off/pick up. (P.S. the venue might feel like it's "out there," but an ambulance can get there in 15 minutes -- something the team looked into for my family.)
I will not miss wedding planning, but I will miss working with the Camino Real Ranch team. We love what they are building and can't wait to see what is next!
I cannot speak highly enough about Camino Real Ranch. If you are looking here....just book it already! Jenn and Nicole are two of the most delightful ladies you will ever get to work with. They helped to ensure our wedding was executed smoothly, helped my vision come true, and were incredible with communication. The space is absolutely stunning and they continue to improve it. It has multiple spaces, tables, chairs, adorable furniture, and other décor already included that saved us so much time and money. Any couple would be lucky to have their wedding here! Thank you so much for our perfect day!
I cannot compliment Camino Real enough! Our first visit to Camino was over a year ago and it was just as obvious then as it is now that we made the right choice. The owners, Jen and Nicole, are such wonderful people who genuinely want you to have the time of your lives celebrating your wedding. They were very open to our crazy ideas but were able to set boundaries extremely politely. From the time that we booked Camino to the actual wedding day there were tons of updates/upgrades made to the venue. Such as adding the grooms suit, stepping stones to the quonset hut, air conditioning to the greenhouse, lighting to the courtyard, I could go on and on. What this showed us is that they really do listen to their clients and walk the walk! Every single space (bridal suite, grooms suit, greenhouse, quonset hut, tiki terrace, ect.) was so thought out and decorated tastefully while keeping the vibe relaxed and cozy. All of our guests were so pleased with the ease of the venue and the amount of space there was to explore and enjoy. I wouldn't change a single thing about our day and I owe a lot of that to Camino Real Ranch.
Cannot imagine having a wedding anywhere else! Not only is the space beautiful and unique, Jenn and Nicole were the highlight of our wedding planning adventure. This space has so many tables, chairs, and extras available at no cost, and it saved us so much money we were able to splurge on more fun things. Cannot speak highly enough of this gorgeous venue and its incredible team.
Such an incredible venue. The look is different from what you normally see in this area of TX and we loved how unique it was. Jenn/Nicole are insanely responsive and so so nice and helpful. We loved how the venue has multiple different spaces for hosting portions of the event. Our guests loved it!!!
Camino Real Ranch is a wedding venue dream come true. Owners Jenn and Nicole created this space thoughtfully, intentionally and artfully. The space is absolutely beautiful. We and our guests were in love with Camino Real Ranch. There is the artsy quonset hut that welcomes guests, and is the perfect space for cocktail hour. The converted greenhouse is gorgeous, and provides insane natural lighting, perfect for photographs. In addition, the venue has a vast expanse of land with stunning areas including the pond, gazebo and tipi terrace, with the design marrying the natural outdoors and modern architecture harmoniously. The groom’s and bridal suite are spacious and beautiful spaces to get ready and hang out in.
With prior expertise in weddings and events, it is obvious Jenn & Nicole created this space with weddings and wedding vendors in mind. If you ask some of the well known vendors in town, they are absolutely excited to work with this venue. They know the kindness of its owners, its thoughtful construction and the beauty that can be brought about on your special day. This venue provides everything you could possibly need: tables, chairs, furniture, a built-in bar, an easy rain plan, etc., and does it in the most beautiful and artistic way. In addition, they offer all of these amenities at a reasonable price, way better than most other venues in the Austin area.
Lastly, Jenn and Nicole are the kindest, sweetest and the best venue owners. They do their best to make sure your dream day is as beautiful and easiest as can be. They are responsive, and continuously looking for ways to improve and make Camino even more beautiful.
At this point in the review, you should go and see Camino’s beauty for yourself, and spend your perfect day there. We bet that you won’t regret it. We can’t wait to see the many couples who get to live out their big day in this awesome place; truly a dream come true in many ways!
Nothing but good things to say about our wedding at Camino Real Ranch and its very involved owners, Jenn and Nicole. Their energy and hospitality was incredible. They are the sweetest people and so responsive, professional, and accommodating. They thought of everything and are quick to find solutions! I was so lucky to stumble on this venue after our Cabo wedding was canceled because of Covid. I wanted something different and unique, not your typical Austin outskirts type of venue- their artsy eye for decor and the property fit my vision perfectly. I was aiming for a modern boho/beachy desert type of vibe. My vision was totally brought to life with this venue and it's vendors. Not even Cabo could've compared to how perfect our wedding went!!
I got married at Camino last week and I honestly couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding experience. Jenn and Nicole are seriously amazing and were so helpful throughout the planning process. The venue itself is the most beautiful spot in Austin for a unique and modern wedding. My guests were amazed and could not stop raving about this hidden gem. If you decide to get married here you will not be disappointed! I’d choose them all over again :)
My husband and I got married here last week using their intimate wedding package, and we are SO SO happy we found Camino Real Ranch. Our micro wedding was more than we could have dreamed of, and Jenn and Nicole helped to make this all possible. The team of vendors they work with put together the most magical and special day for us. We showed up and were truly able to enjoy ourselves because everything was taken care of! I could not recommend this venue enough!
This is the BEST little hidden secret when it comes to Austin weddings! I have NEVER seen ANYTHING like this venue in Texas! I highly recommend going to check out this venue - it will blow your mind in person, just as much as it blows your mind when you see all of it's beauty on Instagram. The best part about this place is that it is absolutely perfect when it comes to wedding flow, the reception greenhouse is a SHOW STOPPPER, the welcome/cocktail/grooms area has so many tiny gorgeous details, and then it's the perfect place to have your reception dinner. The details and thought put into this place is absolutely insane. The owners are two of the sweetest people we have ever met. 10 out of 10 recommend for weddings, elopements, photo shoots.. This place is SO GORGEOUS!!!!!
