Spicewood Vineyards

ful photo backdrop. I particularly liked using the wrap-around porch for cocktail hour. And of course, the wine is yummy! Lauren, the event coordinator, is stellar. In addition to coordinating everything on the wedding day, she also helped us beforehand book a couple of our vendors. Working with her made planning the wedding as close to stress-free as possible. I cannot imagine our wedding anywhere else!

ge and small events and includes more than you can even dream. It has multiple options to have your ceremony. We chose to have the Vineyard in our background and even took pictures before and after in the vineyard. Then we had our reception inside the event hall. It has a huge fireplace and beautiful bar. The bridesmaids room was in the event hall, so easy access if you need anything from your bag and the groom had his own cabin behind the building. And the best part, is the wedding coordinator, Lauren. She is a dream to work with. Very professional and when it is all over, you feel like you just met your new best friend. Spicewood Vineyard is our favorite place to visit on the weekend now. We feel like family.

fect Hill Country venue for a wedding! It is beautiful, cost-effective, and fun! We would recommend everyone to get married at Spicewood Vineyards!

day.

efforts and kept everything flowing that day. I also found them to be one of the more affordable venues as we were doing our research-so it is a great value. I highly recommend!

e absolutely wonderful. The reception space was amazing as well and for all of our guests and entertainment. We are looking forward to coming back to visit soon!

l country. I lost count of the guests who said how peaceful and beautiful the setting was at SWV! The wine is AWESOME and the staff is amazing. Lauren is so helpful, calm and knowledgeable. She does so many weddings but she made us feel so important! I recommend SWV for anyone who wants a completely personal, beautiful and austin-only wedding! Wish I could do it all over again!

e wedding. She made everything run seamlessly! Additionally, the price was so reasonable. All our guests loved the wine! I would recommend this venue to any bride looking for beautiful scenery and a special wedding day!! Thank you Spicewood and Lauren!

picewood. It is very affordable and they do not charge different rates seasonally which was a plus since we were getting married right in the middle of wedding season. Lauren the event coordinator did an awesome job answering all of my questions while I was planning, and did a great job during our rehearsal and the day of. She was extremely organized and kept everything running smoothly. The day of could not have been better! I would recommend Spicewood Vineyards to ANYONE looking for a wedding venue or even a party spot!

e vineyard behind us, but there were other lovely spots that we could have used as our backdrop if we so chose. The hall is available for the ceremony, but we used it for our reception. It is an easy place to decorate for most styles. We had just under 100 people and felt that there was enough room to dance and mingle. The wrap around porch was a great place for four 'cocktail hour' and relax. Some of the perks with the venue include tables, chairs, and Lauren! She was perfect for our day of coordinator. Lauren always responded in a timely manner and was always willing to talk to us if we randomly showed up at the vineyard. She offered great tips, was quick with problem solving, shared some helpful resources, and was not shy to getting things done. Her experience shows in her ability to keep calm and keeping the event going when something unexpectedly happens (like when the bride's father manages to cancel a shuttle right before the ceremony). There is not enough room to go on about how much we love this place and the people who work there!

rain and Lauren walked us through making the call, then handled the changeover. She was absolutely incredible. We loved the facilities, loved the staff, and loved the wines! We're so glad this is the place we chose to have our special day!

ermitted, to incorporate the outside area as well.. the day was perfect and the wine is even better. The venue is absolutely beautiful and we got so many compliments from our guests. THANK YOU.

more research, I knew it was the place for us. What sold me right away were the reviews for the flexible option for a back up rain plan if we weren't able to have an outdoor ceremony. Well, our wedding was November 7, 2015 which it rained nearly the entire week before, the day before and luckily (maybe?) the day of our wedding. So we were one of those couples that had to switch to the back up rain plan. Even though it wasn't my choice, the indoor option of the event center was absolutely beautiful and the cathedral style windows made it feel like we were in a chapel in the woods. The other positives that stuck out were that Spicewood was very dog friendly. So much so that every time we visited in the preceding months prior to the wedding, we always saw several dogs running around the property. We asked if our boxer, Casey, could be in the wedding and they didn't even hesitate. Casey walked down the aisle with our ring bearer and sat right next to my husband during the entire ceremony! Lastly, when I was researching vendors, the most important quality I look for is their responsiveness to emails. We worked with Marie in the beginning during the planning then Lauren took over Marie's position. Both these ladies were so on top of returning my emails and answering any questions. The owner, Ron, also went above and beyond to make our day perfect. It was such a pleasant experience from start to finish. Spicewood Vineyards is truly a hidden gem not to mention their wine is top tier Texas wine!

I knew right away that we would have our reception there. Everything is so clean, refreshing, and tranquil. The views of the vineyard & the hill country right from the event center is astonishing. I loved the ability to use the event center in combination with the wrap around porch, and extended lawn area throughout the reception. Everything about the location and setting was absolutely perfect. My favorite part about choosing Spicewood Vineyards is the people who work there... Lauren, the events manager, is absolutely amazing. She was prompt, professional, helpful, flexible, kind, and communicative throughout the entire process. She made me feel valued as a bride, which I really appreciated I cannot say enough how valuable Lauren was to us! If you are looking for a setting that is truly customizable, then Spicewood Vineyards is the place... They are not an all-inclusive venue, but they are extremely affordable and let you do just about anything you'd like to bring your vision to life. I can't express enough how all-around wonderful our experience was!

g at night is stunningly beautiful and creates a backdrop for great photos. Their wine is delicious and had very generous glass pours (this was a hit with the guests.) Lauren, their in house coordinator, is fantastic. She went above and beyond her role as a coordinator and become more like my best friend! She kept us all on schedule without being bossy or pushy. Lauren was there everytime I needed ANYTHING from lipstick to finding my groom. Highly recommend contacting Lauren for your upcoming wedding!

e venue. But Lauren jumped right in without skipping a beat and the reception was flawless. Thank you, Lauren, it was the wedding and reception we had dreamed of for her and her husband. We would definitely work with you and Spicewood Vineyard again!!

few flaws - you cannot have beer cans or bottles due to the name brand? I found that odd, but we got past it by just pouring them in solo cups. Also, no liquor which is ok, but I highly recommend spending the money to do Sangria (Marie makes this for you from scratch). It was a huge hit at our wedding, and it was gone before we came in from photos. All in all, a great experience I would recommend this beautiful venue.

commodating to us when we wanted to have a wine tasting after the rehearsal-- and everyone loved it! We had a blast on our wedding day, and Marie helped to make sure everything went smoothly day of, and throughout the whole planning process! Pretty sure I sent her about a million emails while I was planning and she was always willing to help and give me feedback or ideas. We had SO much positive feedback from friends and family afterwards about the SV, Marie, the wonderful wine, and the staff. I really can't say enough great things about Spicewood!! Wonderful venue. Wonderful people. Wonderful wine.

the way and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. -There is a rain plan, and the ceremony location is beautiful. -The price is great and you can bring in whatever vendors you would like. Because I had a choice in vendors, I was able to keep the wedding low budget. -The venue can hold up to 200 people, which was a must for me. Bottom line: amazing venue!

t it turned out stunning! The vineyard is stunning! Spicewood Vineyards is beautiful, the venue is perfect! Marie did such an amazing job coordinating everything. No one knew that we had to change plans last minute, because everything ran so smoothly. She went above and beyond for us! So happy with everything!

sonality kept our stress-levels low! One of my favorite things was her sangria - it was a hit and I highly recommend it! The wine was so good several of our guests purchased their own bottles to take home. On the morning of our wedding it poured - but we were still able to have the wedding outside in one of the other spaces and everything turned out beautiful. Marie and the staff worked with our vendors seamlessly - again making things so easy for us. The reception area is such a great space so it didnt take much to turn it into what I pictured as my dream wedding. One of the best things about it being our wedding venue is that we can take a day-trip whenever we want to visit such a special place!

. The vineyard is gorgeous and the wine is superb i couldnt recommend Spicewood more if you are looking for a Vineyard hill country wedding. We had the ceremony outside facing the vines and the reception indoors in their beautiful banquet room. My family and friends from New York fell in love with the venue the second they arrived. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

actly what we were going for. First off, the venue and surrounding vines and area are beautiful - there are at least 3 great spots for an outdoor ceremony and a beautiful inside reception space (which can also be used for a ceremony if the weather isn't cooperating). Secondly - the venue coordinator, Marie, is the best. She put us at ease, was super responsive, and was very flexible with our multiple requests! She worked really well with our other vendors. She went above and beyond - the night of our wedding there was flash flooding (a bride and groom's nightmare!) - Marie kept everyone calm and even went out to check the roads to give us updates. Our guests were none the wiser and danced the night away - everyone got home safely! Last, but definitely not least - their wine is amazing! We got so many compliments from very happy guests praising the wine. Bottom line - if you're looking for a beautiful spot, tucked away in the Hill Country for your wedding - with a great coordinator and delicious wine - Spicewood Vineyards is a perfect place!

he night of the wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly and turned out perfectly. It was a perfect wedding and our guests fell in love with the vineyard just as we did.

everal great options) but they also have a "plan B" event center that is so beautiful and where we held our reception. The interior of the event center is so classy with stained concrete floors, dark wood roof trusses and ceiling and limestone walls. The bar is also beautiful with granite and dark wood. The event center has an amazing and spacious wrap around porch where we held our cocktail hour. My favorite part of the venue is absolutely the barrel room in the Tasting Room building. I did my bridal portraits and our "first look" in the barrel room and I am so happy with the photos. I highly recommend Marie and Spicewood Vineyards to anyone!

ng process. The venue provides all the chairs and tables (in the cost) you could need. Plus, it is an absolutely gorgeous vineyard no matter what time of year. Marie made sure our wedding ran smoothly the whole time which was especially appreciated considering the large size of the wedding (about 250 guests). She arrived early the morning of to start setting up and was the last person to leave. Did I mention she had also lost her voice completely on the day of the wedding? She never once complained and kept a smile on the entire day. Thank you Marie and Spicewood Vineyards for making our perfect wedding come true!

was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had been to. It is such a beautiful venue, the flowers and decorations were minimized. We had a cocktail hour, barbeque, cake and disc jockey for dancing the night away... Of course the wine is fabulous!!! Marie, the venue planner, was incredible to work with and so helpful. We met with Marie several times before the wedding and she was there for the rehearsal and the whole day of the wedding. She made sure everything ran like clock work. She worked with us with our caterer and DJ. The vineyard has a wonderful place for the bride and bridal party to get ready. It is also the most beautiful place for pictures. I can't say enough about Spicewood Vineyards and Marie for your perfect wedding!!!!!

he PERFECT wedding, and wedding day! I can't thank them enough,and plan to be back at the vineyard for some of the fabulous wine in the near future!

eption there again!

is very well organized but also super easy-going and friendly which made it so easy to work with her. She answered all of our questions before we asked and in a timely manner. She was flexible to work with our ideas and even gave suggestions on how to carry them out. On the day of, she was prepared and handled everything flawlessly. We didn't have to worry about what was happening when as she was on top of it all and guided us through the 'formalities' the entire night. It was wonderful to not have to worry about any of the logistics during the event because Marie handled everything perfectly. There is no way we could have pulled off our wedding without her help. If we had to do it over again I wouldn't change a thing. Spicewood Vineyards itself is a gorgeous place with several outdoor ceremony options and a large indoor event center - a beautiful limestone building with a gorgeous bar and dark wooden beams across the ceiling. One of the reasons we picked Spicewood (in addition to having Marie as the event coordinator) is that it was beautiful for our outdoor wedding but had a great backup plan in the event of rain. On our wedding day, there was a high chance of rain but luckily it held and we just had cloud cover. Marie was prepared to move the whole ceremony indoors if needed. Spicewood's wines are phenomenal and all of our guests really enjoyed getting to sample so many different kinds. I would highly recommend this venue - it's perfect for a hill country wedding! And a huge huge thank you to Marie for all of your hard work - you made our day perfect!

lanning and she was on-site all day of the wedding to make sure everything went off without a hitch. We have wonderful memories of our wedding from the gorgeous pictures taken at the venue both in the vineyards and also in the barrel room. All our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly our wedding went. Our wedding was just perfect! I would highly recommend Spicewood for your next event!

h tables and lanterns. The interior event area is warm and inviting. We loved the fireplace, gorgeous granite bar and lantern lighting. Definitely check out the wine cellar. Thank you Ron Yates, Marie and Shane.

have it, it started pouring the morning of our wedding. We didn't have a tent booked but Marie & Ron quickly threw together a plan to move our wedding inside to the event center. They rearranged everything in no time before and after the ceremony and everything went off perfectly as if we planned to have it inside all along. And the inside of the event center is so beautiful as well that our pictures turned out great. This is a prefect place to get married. The location is beautiful, the wedding coordinator, Marie, and the entire staff is extremely professional and hardworking, dedicated to making sure your day is perfect. And of course the wine is fantastic. I would highly recommend this place for your special day.

perfect day. When we were searching for a wedding venue, we (or I) had several stipulations: 1) it had to be beautiful; 2) it had to allow dogs (our dog was our flower girl/ring bearer); 3) it had to fit within our budget, and 4) it had to have an outdoor ceremony space. Spicewood gave us all of these and more. From a cost standpoint, Spicewood initially seems to be quite expensive, especially for a Saturday wedding. However, the items/services that are included in the cost - from tables/chairs/linens to day-of planning, make it an incredible value. If you price out renting all of the service items (tables and chairs) + the cost of event planning, Spicewood is a steal. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. They have an indoor event space on site that is the perfect blend of rustic and elegant. We did decorate, but it wasn't necessary given the natural beauty of the space and the surrounding grounds. Inside, there is a beautiful, all-wood bar and amazing wood rafters. Outside, there is a wide open patio which is perfect for cocktail hour and a creek surrounded by trees which served as the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. The pictures of our wedding are stunning in large part due to the beautiful surroundings. (You could probably play a drinking game based on the number of times that I have used the word "beautiful," but really, there is no other way to describe it). Before and during the wedding, Marie, Spicewood's day-of coordinator, was an amazing source of knowledge, experience, and organization. I have seen several friends try to organize weddings without the help of a day-of planner. More often than not, the day-of coordination would fall to the mother-of-the-bride or the bride herself. I did not want my (amazing) mom (or me) to have to deal with the organization of the event itself (e.g. ensuring that everything ran smoothly and on-schedule) and so had planned to hire a day-of planner for our day. Luckily for us (and our budget), Marie's services are included in the cost of the venue, but even if this hadn't been the case, we would have hired her to organize our day. She met with us about two weeks before the wedding to discuss seating, the event timeline, etc. Her expertise and knowledge was invaluable - she brought up several potential issues that we had not considered and offered us simple but brilliant solutions. On the wedding day, she and her staff helped organize the various vendors and deliveries and had already set up most of the chairs/tables by the time we arrived (at 1:00 pm), enabling us to quickly decorate and then retire to the bride and groom rooms to get ready/celebrate with our wedding party. She ensured that everything - from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception - went smoothly and coordinated with the DJ/photographer for all of the important moments (our entry, bouquet toss, etc.). We truly had the perfect, stress-free, problem-free wedding and it was all because of Marie's experience and expertise. This had turned into a long post and so I will end here: Spicewood is a beautiful setting for a wedding and the staff ensure that your day is perfect. We could not have found a better venue for our day.

ed - and to top it off they have some Fantastic Wine!

hink it would have gone as smoothly if she hadn't been there step by step.

game but had a great cool and calm way to help the day run stress free. Based on how many compliments we got on the place from our wedding guests we weren't the only ones who loved the place! We wouldn't change a thing an would definitely recommend this place in a heartbeat. Awesome place for an awesome price!

in person. She was extremely helpful in providing us with options, all details involved for the day, and even dealing with family drama. Not once, did she make my husband and I feel awkward or foolish about any of our questions or concerns. Her first priority was our needs and making sure we were relaxed and enjoying our wedding. She communicated with the vendors and everything went so smoothly. The venue spoke for itself. We immediately fell in love with the beautiful fireplace (which was lit for the wedding!) and the big windows. We did little decorating and the venue looked gorgeous. We held our ceremony outside under the trees, and even though it was cold, the outdoor heat lamps certainly helped warm my ladies and guests. The vines were just as beautiful even if they were brown and bare! The venue is gorgeous no matter what time of year, the wines are spectular and one of the best in Texas. Our guests raved about the variety of wines we offered them. The sangria Marie made for cocktail hour was also fantastic! I would highly highly recommend this venue for the beauty of the vineyard, the intimate setting of the venue, the options for outside ceremony, the wines, and without hestitation, the wedding coordinator, Marie, and staff. We will never forget our wedding and the amount of effort Marie and her staff put into our wedding to make it perfect. Spicewood Vineyards gets beyond 5 stars for me. Amazing people that truly answered any and all questions from starting point to end. I cannot thank them enough.

location. Marie worked out everything with me, and made the big day effortless. I was surprised by how seamlessly it went off. I would highly recommend Spicewood to anyone looking for the perfect place. It couldn't have been more perfect!

ce for the reception, clean bathrooms, friendly bartender, and we had plenty of time to use the space. other than a few cars and winery guests in our wedding photos, i'd honestly say this was a perfect place to get married. so happy we had our wedding here!

y detail for us. We truly appreciate all of her help and hard work. Spicewood was stunning at night with the lights and held our 200+ guests without problem. Also, we loved the wine selections. We highly recommend this venue for a wedding reception.

likes a warm and inviting space to part with friends and family.

us, which was great because I was a hands-off bride without a wedding coordinator. She herself is worth booking the venue for, even though the actual space itself is fantastic.

r, Annie, is great to work with and she will make sure your day goes without a hitch.
