Cypress Valley Event Center

This venue is basically Disney World for me. It’s absolutely magical, whimsical and truly unique. Definitely look into booking your wedding here, once you see this place in person you’ll understand how truly special it is. We rented out the tree houses for our weeding and had guests stay there and it’s an experience no one will ever forget. We did a zip lining tour before rehearsal which was also fun and adventurous for all. The staff was great and always available throughout the entire process. I could not recommend more!! Go see for yourself.

Let me begin by saying that Cypress Valley is not just a vendor to me because they feel more like family. Not only is the venue the most unique and magical place to possibly get married in, but the staff were down-to-earth, kind, and helpful right from the start and were a joy to work with. Specifically, I have to sing the praises of the General Manager, Shelby. She is a delight and radiates positivity and a genuine excitement for her job at all times. She always had a “can do” attitude, and if there was ever a question I had (I had a lot) that she didn’t know the answer to, she came right back with an answer and solution in no time! I am a very detail-oriented person, and often have difficulty trusting other people to care about details the way that I do. This was NOT the case with Shelby! She is a rock star at her job, and genuinely cares about the details! I was 100% confident during the entire wedding planning process that nothing would slip through the cracks if Shelby was involved, and I was right. One of the best parts about deciding to get married at Cypress Valley was the level of trust and independence I had with the staff. They aren’t overbearing and rigid like so many other wedding venues out there. They trust that you will respect their rules and the space, and then are completely hands-off from there unless you need them. My wedding was beautiful and the guests LOVED the venue! Despite it being a little warm since it’s an entirely outdoor space, no one seemed to be that bothered by it! My husband and I and our family members stayed in the treehouses and Ranch House, and had the best time!!! The treehouses are so charming! We actually plan to come back on our anniversary! I hope my words do justice in describing how amazing Cypress Valley and their staff are. I cannot recommend them enough and am so appreciative that they helped me have the wedding of my dreams!

AMAZING venue, amazing staff!! Shelby is literally the sweetest human, and everyone who works there was soo helpful and nice. The treehouses are awesome and our bridal party had the best time staying in the ranch house before the wedding! Our guest were in awe at the scenery and uniqueness of the venue and we all had such a great time! :)

Cypress Valley was the best decision we made my sisters wedding. Being in the industry I helped plan it but knew nothing about anyone in Austin. I was told to find somewhere with lots of trees, not to hot or too cold, and it had to have an indoor space for the small reception. When I saw the photos I thought the venue was too good to be true but then we toured it and it was just so beautiful and special. You feel so secluded in nature. But then it does great things like include the tables and chairs for your reception, AND they have a bucket of clear umbrellas just in case. Shelby was amazing to work with and made everything so easy for us. I cannot recommend this wonderful venue enough.

So – let me paint you a picture. It’s 5 weeks before our wedding and our venue cancels on us. We were out town for a business trip and unable to visit any new venues in Austin. It was the most stressful and nerve wrecking time EVER! I was frantically searching for a new venue, when clouds parted and a beam of light from heaven descended upon me and brought Cypress Valley Event Center to my attention via TheKnot.com. They NOT ONLY let us have our wedding out there on a day they typically wouldn’t be open, they gave our guests ziplining discounts, were quick to respond to texts and emails, worked with our budget, worked to help us reach our wedding vision (which required a few waivers, haha!), and were phenomenal all around. I sent them an incredibly frantic email describing our situation, budget, & plans we had for the previous venue to see if there was any way they could work with us on such short notice. Shelby, the General Manager, wrote me back and was sooooooo nice and understanding and willing to work with us on all the details. I honestly can’t say enough positive things about Shelby because she is the absolute best person to work with. She was there for us at every turn, offered really amazing solutions to bumps in the road, took time out of her busy day to let us tour the venue a few times, helped us figure out ways we could lay out the ceremony, and so much more. There really aren’t enough kudos to give this incredible woman. If you’re looking for a magical and romantic outdoor location for your wedding, look no further. I HIGHLY suggest that you and your wedding party stay in the Ranch House for the night before and the night of your wedding. It is a beautiful home with loads of room to accommodate all of your overnight guests and its very aesthetically pleasing. It has a full kitchen with the largest fridge I’ve ever seen, stove, coffee maker, etc. It’s perfect. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. Imagine yourself descending through an amphitheater while your beau and best people are waiting for you on a bridge suspended over a stream of babbling water. It is perfect. At night, there are lights in the trees that make it seem almost otherworldly as the lights dance on the cypress leaves. The venue provides tables, chairs, some decorations, the ceremony and reception spot have gorgeous warm lighting, and a bar area is provided. I can’t thank Cypress Valley and Shelby enough for the experience they gave us. It was truly the best day of our lives and our guests had a ball. People are still talking about how wonderful it was out there. If you’re looking for an outdoor venue, this is THE ONE.

Having stayed in the tree houses at Cypress Valley twice before we knew we wanted to have our October 7th destination wedding in this magical, romantic, serene space. The experience of planning over the past year was so much easier than what we imagined it might be. With the help of our wedding coordinator (Heather), CVEC's general manager (Shelby), and co-owners (Amy & David) it was all pretty seamless...even when the weather threatened to thwart our plans! They all went above and beyond to make sure our experience was seamless and memorable and they didn't disappoint! They even threw in some unexpected lovely surprises for us!!! We chose to reserve the entire facility for the weekend and housed our wedding party in the ranch house and family in the tree houses. It was perfect! Zip lining for the guys and yoga on the deck for the girls on the morning of the wedding was a great way to ease into the festivities. Our guests are still talking about how it was the most beautiful setting for a wedding they've ever attended, and how perfectly it supported our vision for a magical, romantic, fun, and unique experience. You will fall in love with this place; you'll be impressed with the staff; and you will have the most incredible and unique experience for your wedding day. Book this place for your ceremony, and definitely consider reserving it all for the weekend; you will be SO glad you did!

I booked my wedding at Cypress Valley a few months ago. My wedding date isn't until October but I figured I would write a review of my experience thus far and update this after my wedding. Let me start by saying this venue is absolutely breathtaking!! I searched high and low for a woodsy/outdoorsy wedding venue and no other venue came close to Cypress Valley Event Center. The trees are tall and beautiful and provide the perfect amount of shade, you can hear the birds chirping in the amphitheater, and the whole structure itself is just simple in the best way. Working with Shelby has been a breeze! She has been very attentive and helpful with everything (and trust me I've had a lot of questions). She is such a sweet and down to earth person. If you are on the edge about booking this venue, I highly recommend seeing it in person.
