House on the Hill

for us and what we had planned! Getting it Friday allowed us to casually set up everything with friends and family then and have Saturday be casual and relaxed with just more friends and family as well as some other vendors showing up. Then leaving on Monday made a slow starting Sunday still able to get things casually cleaned up and put away. Lynn was always extremely prompt with her email replies and with me planning this from overseas this was highly important. They were extremely flexible in all vendor services which made it possible for us to have a very customized wedding. I recommend them to anyone who wants a stress free, customizable wedding!

lodging. We also booked it for an extra day just so we could hang around and swim! There is so much freedom and room for creativity to make the space your own. I had to swing by to pick up something I left at the venue and was pretty sad that the wedding was over and that we weren't hanging out at the venue anymore. It was such a blast. =) Some things I wish I knew beforehand: The separate areas at the venue (lawn, dining room, pavilion, etc.) caused no issue whatsoever. I was a bit nervous about moving people around the venue and it ended up being a complete non-issue. The sunroom doesn't heat up as much as I thought it would from having the buffet line on the back porch. Something I also freaked out about for months that ended up being a non-issue. The lawn by the fountain is pretty shady in the evening. We visited at around 5PM in October and the wedding was 6PM in July and the lawn had a good amount of shade, so people didn't melt. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants a laid-back, super fun wedding. The space is perfect!

review the venue. House on the Hill provides a lot of flexibility to create whatever kind of wedding you want. And, with the weekend availability, we were able to maximize our time with out-of-town guests. Our 135 person wedding still felt incredibly intimate and the layout of HotH played a large role in that. The vendors seemed to have all the space they needed - a big kitchen for our caterer and plenty of space for an 8-person band with all their sound and light equipment. There were a ton of great places for pictures too, with lots of different lighting to help you capture whatever mood you're going for. I could go on and on about how much I loved this venue, but you just need to go see it for yourself to fall in love with the waterfall, the hill-country view from the patio, and the rustic vibes! We were able to fill all the bedrooms on the property and it made our wedding feel like a destination wedding, even thought we were only about 20 minutes from home. They even allowed us to bring our dog, so he was able to be a part of the wedding! Finally, House on the Hill may not advertise as LGBTQ+ friendly, but I will say that Lynn and the staff never made our wedding feel any different. They were just as welcoming as they would be to any other wedding and that didn't go unnoticed.

opportunity to hang out. House on the Hill had everything we could have possibly dreamt of. The biggest selling point for us was the over night lodging. We wanted our close friends and family to be able to be comfortable and stay up all night celebrating with us, and we did just that! The venue feels so private and retreated but at the same time is in a great location. The greenery and trees made it easy for us to not need much decor. The scenery itself was breath taking. They have a wonderful pool, covered outdoor patio aka dance floor, indoor reception room, and numerous fully equipped cabins. The hosts are so accommodating and laid back. They had multiple open houses that we were able to attend to work out all the details and rehearse. We were able to bring our own food/alcohol, without caterer restrictions. We felt right at home and all of our guests were very impressed, not to mention the price is very affordable in comparison to other places we checked out. We couldn't be any happier about our choice to have our wedding at HOH and will recommend it to every couple! Things to keep in mind: -It is literally a House on the Hill, so be mindful of the steep hill. Lol. -You must set everything up and take everything down, including tables, chairs, décor. This is a very DIY type of venue.

rent, very spacious and gives lots of options. Now Lynn is the best, really. Every time I called or emailed I had a super fast response. She gave me insight on my concerns and questions, she was very positive and REAL. She spoke with us like real people and not just dollar signs, very honest and open. They accommodated an emergency I had with my cake delivery, I got the run down of the whole house the day of my wedding, I have nothing but good words for this venue. The best thing was the over night lodging. We were able to accommodate our guest who had traveled and not have to worry about people drinking and driving which is a huge relief. The lodging is an excellent addition to this venue. The house was cold and clean when we arrived. Everything was explained to us, I was so happy to find this venue. We had options if it rained although it didn’t! Take a look at this venue y’all, as a born and raised AUSTINITE, I got my band for my buck here for sure!!!

ily. We recommend getting the overnight package as our family and guest were thrilled that they didn't have to get hotels or travel away from venue to truly enjoy the wedding celebration with my wife and I. For any other guests, Lynn (HOH Coordinator) knows of several awesome AirBnBs within minutes of House on the Hill. In fact night before wedding my wife and her family stayed at one Lynn suggested and it was literally within walking distance of House on the Hill. Our sunset wedding and evening reception was the best at House on the Hill as sun perfectly just peeks through the trees and isn't overbearing, and the evening courtyard and patio lighting work wonders to set the perfect mood. My Best Man was also photographer at the wedding and he was so worried about the sunset wedding with amount of daylight, yet he was twilled at pictures with sunset and patio lighting turned on. It all created just a awesome memorable atmosphere. I would do it all again tomorrow, yet my wife and I already have other plans.

e, it made our special day absolutely perfect.

than being able to have the TIME to make it all happen! Love this place ♥

ad 16 people stay over the weekend who all had a wonderful time. The extra time to set up and break down over the weekend made it super stress free. I'd highly recommend this venue. It was amazing.

end this venue.

nd cranny was comfortable, and delightful. There are infinite porches. Each bedroom was more inviting than the last. Our 120 guests had a fantastic time - we married in the yard in front of the fountain (really beautiful), ate dinner and were toasted/roasted in the inside hall, and danced the night away on the large pavilion. Our children and dogs ran around joyously. Elders found good places to sit and nap. Disabled friends nagivated the space easily. The young and bloodthirsty even had an after party by the pool! The next morning, the 25 people who slept over, including the newlyweds, cleaned up communally and enjoyed left over cake and coffee (provided by HOH). Lynn and Pandora were excessively kind and helpful throughout every part of the process. This is an amazing venue. If you want a warm celebration full of life in a beautiful locale - House on the Hill is it!

late night pool party. The grounds of house on the hill create a wonderful backdrop for your special day! We even got a sun shower and double rainbow ( you cant pay extra for that !) So close to Austin with the feeling of being far,far away.

onalized. It was wonderful for us to have the ability to craft a bi-cultural bi-lingual wedding that uniquely ours by blending vendors and printing bilingual signage, etc. After our wedding I realized I had somehow lost my necklace and was quite upset as it is a priceless family heirloom, the staff at House on the Hill went above and beyond to help me find it. I can't recommend House on the Hill highly enough after our experience with them!

or our outdoor ceremony on Saturday by the waterfall. The indoor portion of the venue comfortably fit all guests for dinner and we were even able to host a brunch the next day before leaving! I was worried the heat was going to be too much for our guests but the AC inside the building is strong and the wind in the Hill Country/tree cover at the venue left it feeling comfortable all night long. Lynn and her team were fantastic about correspondence leading up to the event and the venue itself was in really great condition - the outdoor areas were well taken care of and the guest rooms/bathrooms were clean and guest-ready. Last but certainly not least, we need to talk about the pool. This has to be the most under-rated part of this venue! Outside of getting married, the highlight of our night was definitely jumping into the pool at the end of our reception and being able to host a super fun pool party after-party for all our friends and keep the party going even after all the vendors had packed up and left for the night. It was also a great place for guests/kids to hang out during the day as we were prepping for the wedding. Long story short - if you're looking to host an intimate/"backyard" wedding this is a fantastic venue to consider. I know we hope to be able to come back one day!!

or setting up and visiting with family and friends. I’ve already recommended House on the Hill to friends.

and friends raved about the view and location. This is definitely the venue that will give you the most for your money! Lynn was also very nice and helpful. She is professional and available to answer all questions. I enjoyed working with her and am so glad I found this place!

e private and intimate. I loved that it has rooms for guests to stay in (which saved us a lot of stress when my family's air bnb reservation fell through two weeks before the wedding). Thankfully we were able to have our wedding ceremony outside as planned, but there was space indoors as well in case the weather wasn't cooperative. Really awesome venue and would definitely recommend.

o the event, communication was timely and straightforward. We had our rehearsal dinner, a welcome pool party, plus the entire wedding event on site. Not to mention, even though the heat hit record temperatures, we easily re-arranged our plans a few days in advance to have dinner moved from outside to inside. My only complaint is that they do not provide recycling on site. After a banging reception, this can be quite an unfortunate sight to see. Luckily, we had a friend who helped us take the recycling to facilities in Austin proper. Other than that though, we had a blast and highly recommend the space!

dn’t agree more! Thank you so much for taking care of this one of a kind location, it holds a very special place in our hearts!

he "take down" after a wedding in a traditional venue. The greenery is beautiful. It really is stunning!

d all of my questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner!

very versatile depending on your guest count. Highly recommmend.

the location has it own charm! Loved the views from the back porch and upstairs room as well! Awesome deal in such a beautiful part of Austin!

and alcohol which saved us a ton of money. The outside is gorgeous so we didn't have to decorate anything but the tables. And it ended up being really cold that day so we had to move the dancing inside and the main room of the house was perfect for the dance floor. The guests that didn't feel like dancing were able to sit in the sunroom and chat. Lynn was super easy to work with and was always available when we wanted to come take a look at the grounds for planning purposes.The only complaint I had or my guests had was about the beds in the rooms. The mattresses are quite old and uncomfortable. We didn't sleep very well there. But that part didn't matter as much in comparison to the rest of the beautiful space!

comfy, the grounds were meticulously landscaped, and the decor was just spectacular. When I said I do to my wife in front of the beautiful fountain and my loved ones, I felt like I was in a movie. Lynn took care of absolutely everything and really made us feel at home. All of our vendors were really impressed with the space. I really can't believe the value we got by choosing this place. It's a slice of paradise you'd never expect to find so close to all of the best things Austin has to offer. Do yourself a favor and pick this place. You won't regret it.

rooms were set up perfectly for our overnight guests. We had the freedom to set up everything as we wanted it to be. I was able to visit multiple times to plan the event for my son which made everything run as smooth as possible for a large wedding and reception. I highly recommend the overnight package because being able to relax and enjoy the family and friends that stay was an amazing experience I was so happy to have!

anted and the price was better than anywhere else we looked! So not only did we get a great deal we got a beautiful venue that didn't break our budget! We couldn't be happier with this venue. There wasn't a single thing we didn't like about it. I'd recommend it to anyone (which I already have) who is looking for a venu of this setting!

absolutely smitten with the orange accents on the buildings (which look amazing in photographs). My now husband, and I, booked House on the Hill for an extended weekend in April of 2017 and we can't imagine having gotten married anywhere else! We were able to have our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all in one place, and spend the whole day after the wedding relaxing poolside enjoying our out of town family & friends! It made the weekend so much more relaxing and fun, having it all in one place, and having all our loved ones close by. The property is absolutely stunning, and private. We were able to stay up well into the early morning hours dancing and playing guitars because of the privacy the venue affords you, and the fact that there aren't quiet hours! After reading some of the other reviews where people mentioned they had problems with caterers not having enough space/outlets, we had zero problems with ours. We hired Tacos and Tequila (TNT), and they were able to set up the entire buffet in the kitchen/side dining area, leaving us the rest of the indoor spaces & outdoor wrap around porch for guest seating. We had about 120 guests, and it didn't feel cramped, but if you had 150 it might feel a little tight. We did have a little trouble with shuttling guests up the steep hilly driveway, so if you can avoid shuttles that would be best. Our shuttle company was able to get their smaller 22 passenger shuttle up and down the hill, but the driver wasn't very happy about it, and we really had to plead with them to try it. We also had a food truck come out for a late night snack with the same hesitancy to drive up, but ultimately they managed it. Pandora and Lynn were amazing to work with! They answered every single question I asked them, and I e-mailed them a lot of questions! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone thinking about it!

Besides the weather being a little cold for April, our wedding was perfect at House on the Hill!

nother excuse to drag our family and friends here.

n. The kids swam in the pool a lot, so that kept them busy, and the Easter bunny even hid eggs out in the yard! The owner and manager are very kind and laid back. Very easy to work with. The rooms were clean and many had beautiful views! Some wedding guests complained about the parking, but overall our experience was amazing!

that we had the cabins for our close guests to stay in. If you are looking for a beautiful, intimate outdoor wedding, then House on the Hill can't be beat!

want to give your guests a beautiful place to stay. Best of austin for sure.

g weekend with our closest friends and family. The venue was beautiful, and we also had the flexibility to choose our own vendors which was an awesome luxury. Would highly recommend for any couple wanting to get married in a beautiful setting with amazing views where you'll have plenty of time with family and friends and the flexibility to construct your perfect weekend and keep the party going for as long as you'd like, all for an extremely generous rate.

house/cottages, and the rustic feel of the grounds. It is decorated so well that we barely even needed to set up anything. We wanted to make our event very personal, and enjoyed the freedom to choose our own vendors, bring our own food/drinks, and make our wedding special and unique to us. Lynn, the coordinator, was very patient and helped us with all of our questions. This is the perfect place to celebrate with your closest family and friends. We can't recommend this venue enough!

the ceremony there but you can have the reception there as well. Of course with the reception comes lots of fun and no need to worry if you have a overnight stay scheduled you'll be well taken care of. I would recommend this place to anyone.

this venue lets you pick any cater, you can bring your own alcohol , hired whoever you like for all of your wedding needs :) we were able to stay up all night partying without having to worry about getting kicked out or cleaning up, and the price is great!!!!! Highly recommended, the stuff are awesome and always respond to your calls and emails super fast.

time to clean up and relax! The privacy is also the plus side to renting this venue. It's big enough to accommodate your family. There are no restrictions on vendors, bartenders, officer present, etc. The only suggestion I would give is have more comfortable beds. Other than that the venue was perfect! I would suggest it to any bride and groom to rent.

ay at house on the hill.

ng the day as well as at night! The interior decorating of the various rooms available are all tastefully done too. The views of the sunrise and the sunset are also picture perfect over the Austin hills. A fair amount of chairs and tables are available, even for my 100+ guests. Also, the freedom in which to move furniture and the available chairs allowed for my creativity to shine at our wedding. We had a great time and I am sure that our guests did too!

all of our questions. We HIGHLY recommend this venue

onding time and amazing memories! The weather was rainy on our special day, but because of all the options on the property, everything went off without a hitch! It was absolutely beautiful and we will definitely be back for future anniversaries and family functions because everyone had such a great time! The pics were beautiful and it made for the best night of our lives! They have plenty of room and you can do everything diy which saves lots of money! Seriously the best!

ly about 100 guests, but it can hold up to 150. We had both the ceremony and reception here, we also chose to add the cottages to our contract. Our guests were able to have fun all day and night, and a place to stay if they had had a little too much fun. Lynn and Pandora were both so helpful with everything. I would highly recommend House On The Hill for any occasion.

table & chairs you need. This venue is perfect for a small wedding and the staff is a joy to work with. It's only minor downfall is their parking...it is very limited.

sh we could have afforded the weekend package to allow time to decorate in advance and take more pictures. The Sunday afternoon check-in meant a later wedding start, but it was wonderful with all the lights around the estate. An evening wedding allowed us to use more light than flowers and in the fall it was cool enough for people to be outside and for doors to be open. Lynn and her team did a great job working with both myself and my wedding planner. Only other draw back is the parking if you have more than 40-50 guests, so ask friends to help shuttle guests or hire somebody with a golf cart for the hill. Loved this venue so much we've talked about hosting a weekend for family and friends in the future to really enjoy the pool, grill, and amazing scenery.

a private resort with your closest friends and family. Lynn and her staff were easy to work with and answered all of our questions along the way. I was highly recommend House on the Hill from a friend that previously got married there and I would highly recommend to anybody else looking for an amazing venue with amazing staff.

om out of town. The waterfall at the alter provided the perfect serene atmosphere for the ceremony and looks stunning when lit up at night. We were able to fit a 10 piece band under the outside pavilion and the intimate dance floor had the party going late into the night. The venue has several balconies with fantastic hill country views along with patios and decks that provided great spaces for different groups to hang out. They recently got new chairs that looked great and saved us the money and hassle of renting our own. All of our guests commented on how beautiful everything was and we highly recommend House on The Hill for your wedding.

amazing how many good things this venue provides, first it allows you to have 20 guests to sleep in comfortable rooms. It was really great to have a good portion of the wedding party at the venue, and the setup was a lot easier with more time allocated. My wife and I rented this venue from Thursday at 3:00 PM till Sunday at 12:00 PM, which really helped us get venue ready for our guests. We loved the fact that this venue has an outdoor area for a ceremony, and even an indoor option if weather doesn’t cooperate. The indoor area is where we had our wedding rehearsal dinner, and it was plenty of room for our 50+ guests. For our wedding we got married right in front of the fountain and it was stunning. The wedding venue just updated their chairs, which really made the table settings pop at both the reception and the rehearsal dinner. One of the best things that this venue provided, was amazing lighting and views, with a wraparound patio showing the best Austin has to offer. Our photographer was overwhelmed by the amount of great lighting, picture opportunities, and even feared that his next wedding shoot was going to be disappointment because of how amazing the House on the Hill was. I have no hesitation in saying that I would recommend this to my venue to my friends, family, and complete strangers. I also know that our wedding party, family, and friends were amazed at how beautiful the House on the Hill was during our event.

Lynn is an amazing event manager! Anything and everything we needed she was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process from start to finish. Everything from the view, to the grounds, and even the rustic type of feel the cabins have were just simply beautiful. You can do so many things and create so many different set ups there with how much space you have to host your friends and family. In a nutshell, I do not think there is a better venue in Austin that allows so much freedom, while still be very affordable and having such a beautiful property. This venue is a must for anyone looking into an indoor/outdoor wedding!

outdoor pavilion was great for dancing and the additional cottages were cozy and comfortable for the wedding party to stay overnight. Pandora and Lynn were very helpful to work with as well. We would highly recommend House on the Hill for a beautiful wedding. Enjoy!

ving overnight definitely go for the next day as well. The managers are really friendly and helpful and you can reach them with any questions. If you aren't in town they will definitely try to accommodate you to the best of their ability.

amily and or friends. I also like that right on their website you can see the prices and what weekends are available. We staid thursday-Sunday. Adding on an extra day was pretty cheap. Lynn and Pandora were always great with answering my questions promptly with emails and letting me setup multiple site visits. The only regulation for this venue is no tents, other than that, let your imagination run wild. I even had fire dancers out in open outside area for my wedding and we all jumped in the pool afterwards. It was awesome. The views are awesome. My only complaints are that the parking is limited at the venue, some of my guests had to park at the bottom and walk up the hill and as the name says it's a house on a hill, so it's a bit homey and dated. So we took on the task of turning a home into a brightly colored wedding venue. So we had to hide a lot of their decorations/fake plants/pictures/books/national geographics and then return it all back it's place on Sunday. Also the chairs they have available for guests are awful, I wish they would just replace them already, hideous plastic maroon things that you would likely see at a college lecture hall. So I and most others rent chairs. They let you leave your chairs in the outdoor storage area since most rentals charge you more for Sunday pick up. So it's nice that House on the Hill lets you keep rentals there for an extra day or two. But, again I loved this place mostly for the fact of we didn't have any time constraints or other regulations and could party to our hearts content!

d chairs was a great money saver, having the freedom to move these (and any other furniture) made our wedding day a breeze. We also appreciated the freedom to bring in our own vendors; we used basic catering service, a friend who is a 'retired' bar tender, and a family member was our 'coordinator' (huge budget saver!). Our wedding was so beautiful and our guests seemed very happy and relaxed because of the beautiful surroundings, they could not stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was (still can't!). The venue has great outdoor lighting as well!(we decorated the entire pavilion for dinner and most of our guests chose to sit or stand in the 'garden' area because everything was so beautiful!) The size offered the perfect balance of intimacy and space for our event. The lodging options were especially nice considering all of the out of town guests and a few locals that did not need to drive afterwards! If you are looking for a venue offering premium value and quality and flexibility look no further than The House On the Hill!!!!

t have been better. We had 120 guests and an additional 15 servers/band members/valets and it never felt crowded or too full. The only challenge was figuring out parking, but that went smoothly. I so enjoyed working with Lynn who answered all of my many questions throughout the planning process and exhibited amazing Hospitality!

venue the moment i arrived there . The atmosphere, location ,price everything about the venue was everything i wanted an more.

- Monday. My immediate family and friends flew in from England so it was huge for us to be able to offer them lodging - it allowed us to spend more time with them and helped with the cost of their trips immensely. We were subject to a lot of rain which, admittedly, is highly unlikely and out of their control but worth mentioning the challenges... We had 100 guests and being restricted to the covered spaces was tricky. It was made doable by my incredibly wonderful army of friends who made sure I was oblivious to all the logistical challenges and re-shuffling. It did, however, make for a stressful week prior to the wedding as I pondered the possibility of rain - none of the "back-up options" seemed really desirable. On the positive side, the rain forcing us in to smaller spaces created an incredible and intimate energy which was what ultimately made the wedding what it was. Never thought I'd say it - but I'd take the rain again. My one niggling qualm about the venue was the terrible chairs that they offer. They are cheap, faded maroon office chairs and are a huge disservice to what is such a beautiful setting. I have spoken to other Brides from this venue and they feel the same. We ended up renting white chairs which is an unfortunate additional cost for us to burden when we are already paying so much for the venue. It's important to note than this turned out to be essential to our wedding being inside as the maroon chairs are much wider and it was a already tight squeeze with the narrower rented chairs. It also improved the look of the room vastly as I believe the maroon chairs would have made it dark and drab. Purchasing white chairs would be such a relatively small investment for the venue and, I believe, would greatly improve satisfaction. Overall - we had such an amazing and memorable experience and were immensely happy with our choice of venue.

was pretty awesome as well. The only issue we had was with the parking. It is literally a house on a hill so parking was difficult and we had to coordinate my brother helping to shuttle everyone up the hill. We didn't get much direction from the venue coordinators as far as what other guests normally do for parking or ways other parties have been able to make it an efficient process. This ended up being a HUGE headache on the wedding day which was not needed but other than that, it was very nice.

s very kind, thorough, and professional from the first time she showed me the venue through the wedding day. We had one issue the day of the wedding - there was a problem with one of the air conditioners but Lynn got on it right away and the ac was fixed. I would highly recommend this venue!!!

d to use their in-house caterer, bartender, and decorations. Even though it meant more work on our part, I wanted to have our touch on choosing and creating. We instantly fell in love with House on the Hill! My fiance had a lot of out-of-state family coming in and we knew it would be so handy to have them stay right there together and be able to carpool together around a foreign city. Dolly was helpful fielding all my questions from the beginning and we could instantly imagine our wedding in the main event room. We absolutely loved the freedom to create our day - they hand the keys over and let you party! We booked our date that first day! Dolly was always responsive when I emailed and was very helpful when we went to more open houses to go over our details - she even sent info to me over email so I could read it before we got there and things got busy. We loved being able to shop around for vendors and bring everyone in to have the wedding that WE wanted to have. My fiance's family absolutely loved staying there and our pictures are magical on the beautiful grounds of House on the Hill. The pool was very popular during our three-digit degree Texas summer, and it was so great to have the whole place to ourselves so all the kids could run around. We would HIGHLY recommend House on the Hill for anything! Planning on renting it again sometime in our life!

to go with this venue!

provided a wonderful reception venue. The fact that family and friends had a place to stay for the weekend was a huge plus, as well!
