The Garden Hall

DO NOT book this venue. They are very unprofessional. I tried many times to give them the floor plan for my reception so it would be set up when I got there to decorate and it wasn't. We had to set all the tables and chairs ourselves. There are many things they say is on their contract, but its not. Their contract is a half a page - sign at the bottom. They we're always hard to get a hold of. We thought that they would contact us and tell us that we could pick up the check for our refundable deposit. They cashed the check for our deposit a week after or wedding. Then when I called and asked when we could get it back, I drove all the way out there and he wrote me a check (spelled my name all kinds of wrong) right there on the spot. I would never pick this venue again for any sort of event. It's cheap and that's the kind of service you pay for.

Fantastic and scenic venue. The venue is a bit out there in the country, but it's worth seeing. Hector is a great and helpful coordinator. He responded to my questions and inquiries accordingly. He stepped in and helped with my open bar and helped save my champagne toast. I would suggest this hidden gem over and over!

Studio Estates is one of the few places I found down south of Austin that didn't cost an astronomical amount of money to rent. One of the most amazing things about this place is the contract is for 24 HOURS you get the location for an ENTIRE day for one low fee and a very small (refundable) deposit. The deposit is available to get back if you clean up after yourself. If you don't feel like cleaning up you can just lock up and leave and the wonderful people there will take care of it for you! It has a huge parking lot and an outdoor covered patio area with fans. The interior is completely set up for video projections/sounds so you can bring a DJ in or simply hook up an iPod to their sound dock and you have complete surround sound. They are always available to meet you to look around and reply extremely quickly to any questions or issues you may have. They have a small kitchen area, an nice bar area tables and chairs are available with the lease signing so you do not have to rent any if you don't want. I can't say enough good things about this place if you are looking for a wonderful place to hold your reception down south of Austin, TX!!! I did have my ceremony at Buda United Methodist Church in downtown Buda, TX and it was less than a 10 min drive between the two :)
