Holds ceremonies and receptions
We can’t say enough about the exceptional wedding experience we had at The Oasis. Beth Dale is the most AMAZING wedding coordinator. She carefully navigated my gluten allergy despite our selecting the Italian buffet for our guests. Incredibly, that impressive TLC is the least of her super-hero work that day.
She somehow seemed to be everywhere at once the ENTIRE day. Beth ensured we had all we needed in the bridal suite and groom room, she guided us in planning the ceremony and reception timelines, recommended an excellent and affordable DJ and a nearby hotel for guests. She ensured we had a moment to eat, helped our cake crew set up and decorate the cake, pinned boutonnières, coached our newly-minted wedding officiant, guided our photographers on the best spots for photos and ensured they got us away from friends in time to take sunset portraits. She even found time to decorate our get-away car. And she made it all look easy. Even our guests shared compliments about her to us throughout the evening.
We had our event in the Starlight Terrace. We used the table centerpieces available at The Oasis and let the beauty of the room and the view do the rest.
We enjoyed the party of a lifetime thanks to Beth’s expertise and guidance.
Don’t be scared away by the cost- there are savings to be found in this one-stop venue. The food was delicious and all the servers were friendly and incredibly attentive to us and our guests. And Beth will exceed any of your expectations for a wedding planner.

l and secure with every decision made. Her confidence and easy-going attitude in conjunction with her vast knowledge and extreme organization skills made our wedding the stress-free experience it is supposed to be.
The Oasis supplied a lovely ceremony space, a beautifully decorated huge reception space, an awesome dancefloor and stage, centerpieces, signs, easels, linens, tables, chairs, waitstaff, a bar, an AMAZING bridal suite, all day drink and food service to the bride and groom's parties while getting ready, delicious catering for our over 200 guests, a breathtaking sunset view and countless other things I'm sure I'm forgetting because I never had to worry about all those hidden tasks you may forget when planning a wedding.
The day of my wedding I didn't have to do ANYTHING except get married.
It is amazing to think about the value of this venue with the lack of headache we experienced. I told people in the months leading up to my wedding that everything was going perfectly, mostly thanks to Beth and the venue being so easy and basically all inclusive. Even the week of the wedding, people were amazed at how calm I was. All my Husband and I had to do was find a band and a photographer, and the rest was taken care of seamlessly by The Oasis.
We even chose to skip flowers, beyond my bouquet, and you would have never realized that, due to the Oasis already being decorated beautifully.
I really don't think another venue could offer the service we experienced. Believe me, this is the venue to choose if you want to be truly taken care of and not worry about a thing.

s a bit nervous being so "hands off" for my wedding, but Beth was in constant communication with me and made everything run SO SMOOTH! I probably emailed her over 100 times and she always answered every question I had in a timely manner! She is very experienced so she was able to suggest things to us that just made sense for our wedding day! I was seriously not stressed the entire time leading up to the wedding because I felt so confident in The Oasis and Beth! And don't get me started about the actual day.. she went above and beyond to make me and my husband feel comfortable - asking us if we needed anything throughout the entire morning/afternoon leading up to the ceremony. She even put on my 5 year old sons boutonniere when I was on the struggle bus! We were in the Sunset Room and I LOVED it! The views were amazing and the reception space was the perfect amount of room for our wedding. If you're on the fence about venues, check out The Oasis on Lake Travis!!!

hotos with the sunset over the lake. Coordinating with their wedding day coordinator, Beth, was so easy and straightforward, the food was amazing, and overall the event was perfect. The bridal suite is like an entire apartment, with kitchenette and bathroom included. The groom room was convenient but tiny. Beth and her staff were life-savers when it came to the day of. Make sure you have someone in the family/friends as back up who knows what's going on and to inform your family ahead of time if they're walking down the aisle ahead of the wedding party -- the only hiccup we had was getting the get-away vehicle to the front for our exit, and our grandparents and parents had already sat themselves before the ceremony began. Everything else was lovely and so relaxed and I would absolutely recommend their venue and services to those in the Austin, Texas area getting married!

or our friends. We chose to have a private ceremony at Chapel Dulcinea in the afternoon and met our friends at the Oasis for the reception. Kelsey made sure that our day was stress free, easy to plan, and well within our budget. We were able to incorporate all of the traditions we wanted – toasts, first dance, cake cutting, etc and still keep our reception relaxed - like us. Our friends and family loved the convenience of the location, the beautiful sunset, the food, and of course the party. Choosing the Oasis was definitely the best decision we could have made for our reception.

osphere for our wedding and took care of literally everything! The day of our wedding I was stressing about all the things I had to do, but Kelsey assured me that everything would be taken care of and that my only job was to relax and focus on me. She was not kidding. Everything was better than I could have ever expected and every time I asked Kelsey about anything her response was "It's already taken care of". Those words have never sounded better than on my wedding day. I would recommend this place to everyone, it is beautiful and they can accommodate just about anything from size to decor! I am gluten free along with several of my guests, we didn't have to worry about any of the food or cross contamination. I had a few special decorations that Kelsey put out in such a beautiful way. The view is spectacular, all of my guests said how incredible it was. Everyone was out on the deck taking pictures and just enjoying the view. The cost was more reasonable than any other venue we viewed and this venue was significantly more beautiful. Having our wedding at the Oasis was the best decision we made. Now we will go back on our anniversary every year an reminisce on the perfect day it turned out to be!

They handled everything … from the special touches throughout the room to assisting our guests and vendors … all we had to do was show up and enjoy our day.

nt the venue for the entire day. Kelsey is VERY helpful and open to answering questions. She and her assistant Samantha always replied to my emails within a few hours or by the next day. We were able to visit the grounds a few times before the wedding to help us get our game plan down. They offer day before drop off of any items we didn't want to bring the day of if the venue is not booked, we were lucky enough to get that time, it worked out perfect! Any request that we had they were on top of it right away. The day of the wedding we were able to just relax and enjoy the day since the work was already done. I cannot believe how CALM I was compared to how horrified and a wreck most of my bridezilla friends were. Kelsey made sure we covered all and any details so that the day of the wedding could be enjoyed and not stressed. I appreciated that about her. She is very caring and VERY personable. It is unbelievably affordable for a bride on a budget. The Oasis offered inside catering which went over amazingly well. We shopped around and there were a lot of bad reviews for other vendors or it wasn't cost efficient for what you wanted. My guests, my husband, and myself were very pleased with the menu. My wedding pictures turned out great even though it was raining all day and there wasn't a sunset. But the venue is breathtaking regardless of weather. I still had my wedding on the deck of the Oasis and it was absolutely beautiful. I will remember the day forever and would recommend The Oasis on Lake Travis and Kelsey Shipman to anyone planning a wedding or any other event.

If I needed anything she took care of it and worked things out with me anytime. I had moments where my anxiety went through the roof and Kelsey made sure I had a drink and some snacks lol. I would defiantly recommend booking your wedding here if you were like me wanting a lake view. I had a list of 20 venues and chose the Oasis, because they were very friendly, they weren't pushy or short with me like others and fit my budget! I had a tight budget of 10k which includes Alllll of my venders so the oasis can work with whatever you need, big or small. Every room is beautiful, all of our guest are still talking about how good the food was and the view! NO REGRETS! I would do it all again!
Thank you Kelsey and Sam for taking care of us! :)

Due to the bridal suite being booked for the day of I had issues finding a close place for me and my girls to get ready. Also, we wanted somewhere close on the lake to spend our first night together and the place I was working with was too flighty to be reliable. Kelsey was there yet again to save the day. She spoke with the owner and they allowed us to rent his one bedroom apartment next to The Oasis...the place was amazing and made the day just that much more memorable. Kelsey and Sam made the day easy and relieved any stress I could have experienced with forgetting numerous things in the apartment but they retrieved everything without hesitation. They also were my brain during the entire night and I never had to ask for anything since it seemed we were one brain sharing our thoughts. The venue and the staff were amazing is all I can say for The Oasis and we wouldn't change a thing about our day.

e all the details of our big day were in order. Kelsey and I emailed for months as an out of town bride and she was very responsive to my ideas and ever changing (increasing!) guest count. The vendors she recommended all turned out to be great as well. The bridal suite was definitely worth it, to have a place to get ready and the Top of the Oasis was picture perfect for our reception and ceremony. There was only one hiccup in my mind for the night. There was a wedding going on in a room next door at the same time as ours, which is no big deal. The DJ next door and our DJ agreed they would begin reception music at the same time so as not to interfere with each other's ceremonies. The DJ next door did begin music during our ceremony and it was distracting to me as the bride. My husband, bridesmaids and very few guests noticed it, but the detail-oriented bride did. It was no fault of The Oasis and just a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of the night. The staff during our event was top notch and all of our guests commented on how delicious the food was! Highly recommend the Top of the Oasis room for an elegant and fun wedding location as well as the staff at The Oasis. My only advice for future brides is to discuss the timing of events going on around you in advance, but you'll be in good hands with The Oasis!

y we booked it until the moment we were getting in our get away car to ensure that our day was exactly how we wanted it to be. If you haven't been to The Oasis, it is the most beautiful place in Austin for a wedding. Our ballroom faced sunset and it was gorgeous. The interior is equally beautiful and required very little decorations to be bought, but those that I did buy, Kelsey and her team set up for us! Not having to set up or clean up is a wonderful service the Oasis provides. The room was laid out exactly the way I envisioned, the food was delicious, and they made sure to remind us about our schedule, but were flexible when photos took longer than expected. Really I cannot convey in words how great the Oasis Weddings Team is and how wonderful our wedding was! Look into booking this venue. You will not regret it!

nator at The Oasis, see to all of our needs. She was patient with us (even though we had no idea how to plan our wedding), and she seemed prepared for every meeting. The venue itself was very accommodating - the food was perfectly prepared (we had a Cajun-style buffet), the ceremony and reception were perfectly secluded from the rest of the restaurant, and no one seemed to mind that my husband and I wandered around with the photographer, entering rooms as we pleased, to find great locations for portraits. Weeks later, our guests are still raving about how beautiful the wedding was.

I want to first start out by saying pictures do not do this place justice. I was married at The Oasis last weekend and the photos I do have are from my guests iphone's and they are...
spectacular. From start to finish Kelsey was by my side walking me through every step of the way. She is very prompt and professional when returning emails and made me feel totally at ease on my big day. She reached out to my other vendors and helped everyone stay on the same page so I could focus on the many other things going on that day.
The bridal suite alone is worth renting this place. We were able to fit 8 people in our room and still have enough space to dance and "wobble" lol
Don't even get me started about the sunset... it is the most breathtaking view I have ever seen. It doesn't even feel like you are in Austin. All my guests could not believe a place like this existed at the Oasis and it can only been truly appreciated in person.
The food and drinks were delicious and all very reasonably priced. You really do get your bang for the buck with this place.
If you are getting married in Austin you MUST check this place out!!

Since the majority of our wedding party were from out of the area, my fiance and I wanted to find a place that would showcase Austin. As former guests of The Oasis, we were happy t...
o find out they were willing and able to accommodate us for our rehearsal dinner. The sunset was magical, the drinks were plentiful, and the menu provided something to everyone's liking. We were able to capture some beautiful pictures on the patio, and we are looking forward to our next visit!

I had my wedding reception in the Lakeside Terrace event room. Kelsey was very accommodating with our often changing details, even though it was a small event, and was extremely im...
pressive and professional the day of the event. I did not have to worry about a thing. I was a little hesitant about the decor already in the room but it ended up being lovely and just the right balance of fun and wedding. Also, you cannot beat the view and hanging out on the deck overlooking the water! Overall I was very pleased! And the food was awesome, in my opinion much better than the restaurant tex-mex, which I also enjoy.

Wow, what an experience! We got married at the Oasis in the Starlight Ball Room and it was absolutely the most perfect night, all thanks to our coordinator Kelsey Shipman and her s...
taff! From day 1 Kelsey was the most helpful and kind person! She went out of her way every chance she got! We had a wedding of 215 and used both the bars in the Starlight room. The Oasis staff was on top of their game and really did a great job. They set up the tables in the Starlight room and set up all the decorations I brought for them. I even brought lights to decorate the pillars in the room and the manager Adam volunteered to put them up! The food was out of this world good! We had a plated meal of 3 different choices and I highly recommend the plated meals at the Oasis. Kelsey and her team just went above and beyond, from helping to call all my vendors to being so accommodating with all my questions. I would text Kelsey and she would answer within a few minutes and always had the best attitude no matter what my concern was. Kelsey made sure I was taken care of in the bridal suite on the day of, and made sure my husband and his groomsmen were taken care of. Kelsey was just there for everything! I'm just so impressed! The Oasis was the perfect venue for my rustic texas style wedding, and was the perfect spot for beautiful pictures! From the first day I met Kelsey to every meeting with her, every call, the decorations, the food, the bar, her staff, the wind, the chairs, a vendor of mine showing late and with the wrong person, to my groomsmen running around at the last minute trying to find the rings...Kelsey took care of everything. She even packed some cake and water to go in the car waiting for us when we left! Her staff was perfect and so was Kelsey...she really made my day THE PERFECT wedding day! I could go on and on, but not only am I impressed with The Oasis and their staff but Kelsey as a coordinator went above and beyond and was THE BEST person to work with! We are SO happy we chose the Oasis for our special day!
Thank you Kelsey & The Oasis Team!

I had schedule with the Oasis a year before our wedding date when Beth was there, so I went through three different wedding coordinators. When I finally spoke with Kelsey it was th...
e first time I felt comfortable with any wedding coordinator I spoke with before. She was absolutely amazing to talk with and understood any changes that needed to be made immediately. Kelsey and her team at the Oasis were fabulous to work with. I would highly recommend anyone that loves Lake Travis and has memories there to at least give the Oasis a chance. If you do not; you are definitely missing out. Kelsey, Sam, and the staff at the Oasis made our dream wedding into a reality. Nothing could have been possible if it were not for Kelsey and Sam. We love/d the Oasis and will be going back on our first Anniversary.

We loved having our wedding reception at The Oasis! Our coordinator, Kelsey, went above and beyond helping us plan for our special event - and we planned it in just a few short mon...
ths! The Bridal Room was VERY spacious, like a little apartment with a mini living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom with several mirrors and plenty of closet space and of course, an iron and steamer (upon request)! We had the Lakeside Terrace for our reception and they helped us fit ~65 people! The Lakeside Terrace included an indoor area seating 60+ people, plus our own private deck with gorgeous views of the lake and sunset! We brought in our own decorations for all the table center pieces the night before and Kelsey and her team added their own special touches by adding some extra mirrors and marbles to make the tables look *that* much prettier! Kelsey kept us on track the entire evening and was VERY hands-on making sure everyone was having a good time and making sure my grandmother and all the kids were comfortable and happy. The food and drinks were great, we even had a few vegetarians in which The Oasis accomodated for - and my family RAVED about how delicious it was! Kesley even made sure that our two children were able to go downstairs outside on the deck to ring the "sunset bell!" They loved it and Kesley made them feel very special! At the end of the evening, Kesley and her team packed up all our things and had our car packed and waiting for us when it was time to go. If I ever need to throw another big party, I would not hesitate to book with The Oasis again! Like all weddings, the evening went by so fast - but The Oasis made sure to make it one of the most memorable nights of our life! :)

We had our rehearsal dinner at The Oasis and it was too perfect. The private room held us all comfortably and we were able to use the balcony too for the stunning sunset!

During our wedding planning, the coordinator at The Oasis quit and no one warned us or told us until the new coordinator emailed us, a month before our wedding. This made me very n...
ervous and I felt it was extremely rude and unprofessional of The Oasis staff. We met with the new coordinator and finalized all the details and she assured us everything would run smoothly. Her assistant who had been doing our planning with the old coordinator seemed to be very on top of things and knew what was going on, even though the new coordinator seemed less knowledgable. I thought we were very clear with all our requests and that everyone was on the same page with the details of the wedding.
We were married in the Starlight room and the venue and view itself are beautiful and hardly need any decorating at all. We picked The Oasis for these reasons and also for the fact that it was very reasonably priced and had such great reviews. We were also able to choose our menu and what type of alcohol we wanted served. We also thought it was very nice that they allow you to choose the colors of your linens and offer other decorations at no charge. All of these are good things about The Oasis, but unfortunately, I experienced a couple important bad things, as well.
The linens and napkins that were put on our tables for the wedding we not the correct color that we chose from the swatch book. They still looked okay, but it was disappointing that it was not the color I chose.
We also chose to ONLY have beer and wine served, but the bartenders still served liqour. When we told the new coordinator and bartenders to stop serving liquor, they continued to serve it but then charge people for some of the drinks (we also did not want this). This was very upsetting to me because many people got extremely drunk and my parents were also stuck with a very large bar tab. When I emailed the new coordinator, after the wedding, expressing my disappointment, I felt she was very ingenuine with her apologies and did not take much responsibility for the mistakes made. Instead, she acted as if we were the ones responsible for those mistakes. As a coordinator, I felt it should have been her job to know every detail of the wedding, and she clearly did not. Upon writing several emails back and forth, I was told that she was not the one responsible for the mistakes made, but I am still not sure WHO exactly was.
I would advise future brides to be VERY careful in going over final contracts and to have an absolutely certain clarity for all the words used on the contract.
Response from The Oasis on Lake Travis on 03/29/2012
We want to thank you for your review, and we agree that since all details on your contract...
are agreed upon prior to your event it is essential to make sure it states exactly what you want. Our event staff strives to accommodate any issues that may arise day of and your event was no exception. The bar tab for the evening was about $850.00 total, and we served from a limited bar as the contract stated. This is far below average on a 150 person wedding, as we see $2,000-$3,000 sometimes spent. As a team we have discussed the issues you have addressed and we again apologize that you have any regrets from the beautiful event.
