When my husband and I were planning for our wedding, we knew that we wanted a venue that had a white tent because it's like a blank canvas we could use.We also wanted a place that didn't feel like we were in Austin, Tx. When we came across The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge (Austin, Tx) it was definitely an automatic YES! But the look of it was not the only reason why we were sold on it...it was because of WHAT WE GOT OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!! The whole 16 person wedding party was allowed to stay ON PROPERTY for the WHOLE WEEKEND!!!!! YES FROM FRIDAY - SUNDAY. Friday night, the guys stayed in the rooms that are attached to the actual venue (there were 6 queen size beds)(checked in @ 2pm) and the girls stayed in the Cabin (a whole separate house that slept about 18 people). On Saturday night, which was the night of the wedding, the whole wedding party then stayed in the Cabin (which was great for a little after party)! It was so great to have the venue all to ourselves for the entire weekend, nobody had to go anywhere, everything was on property, we got to set up some of our DIYs, late on Friday and early on Saturday because we were already on property. The staff just allowed us to be free and open with what we can do. In addition to all of that, the staff, managers and all personnel were all so nice, genuine and professional! These people just want to make your weekend, YOUR WEEKEND. They are also very flexible to other vendors' drop off and pick up times. For what we got out of it, the price was so good! I would recommend this venue to everyone and anyone!

This was a fantastic venue to have a big Austin wedding! We got married in late October and had roughly 170 guests. The ceremony site held our gigantic wedding party and attendees easily, and there was plenty of space for cocktail hour. We did a TON of dancing and there was plenty of room for that as well.
We chose the venue because it had a lot of spaces (big tree covered ceremony site, vineyard for the first look, courtyard for extra seating and a second buffet table) and it fit our style really nicely. The space is truly beautiful!
The on site staff was all super communicative and easy to work with.
Lastly, the bridal party stayed at the cabin on site the day of the wedding and that was a GREAT idea. Waking up on site the morning of our wedding and sipping coffee on the porch was a truly magical way to start the day.
Any questions?

As soon as we drove up to The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge through a field of wildflowers, we knew it was where we had to get married. My dream had always been to have a ceremony under large, old trees, and the oaks on this property are beyond stunning. Everything you could want in a venue is here—suites for getting ready, lodging options, outdoor ceremony space, a climate-controlled tent, a vineyard, a meadow…it really is perfect. The staff here was great, and we always felt we were in expert hands. They can accommodate pretty much anything you envision—the wedding the night before us had a guest count of 250; our guest count was 25. We could not have been happier with our venue choice, and our wedding photos are a forever testament to the beauty of this spectacular location.

We had our wedding here December 2023 and truly had the best day of our lives with loved ones.
Everyone behind this venue whole heartedly works for you to have your best day. The property is stunning, making for a photographers play ground of infinite shots.
The on site room accommodations make for a safe night and convince get ready location
My husband and I were given a tour by Jaycie and we were immediately sold. Her energy and warmth helped make it a no brainer decision. I then toured a few other Austin venues and was so let down by how cold and transactional each meeting went.
GO TOUR AND FALL IN LOVE!!!

I am so glad we chose this venue! Truly the best day of my life. We haven’t gotten many pictures back, as we just got married, but I had to come on here and rave about how wonderful everything is at Chapel Lodge. I love that you have an option to rent out and stay at the venue, my dad and mom’s family stayed at the lodge and cabin, it was so convenient and accommodating to all of their needs! Jaycie is a sales rep at the venue, we loved her from the very beginning, she’s one of the reasons we chose this venue! We actually hired her as our planner too, again another wonderful decision! The whole day was seriously perfect! She went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough for all she did for us! The venue is so beautiful it really doesn’t need a whole lot of flowers etc in my opinion; we had about 400 candles and it was so romantic! There are so many different spaces to utilize, if you haven’t been out here I highly recommend you get out there and check it out! If you’re looking to have the perfect wedding/party/stay etc.. look no further!
Ps if you are looking at any of the previous reviews about food or bar, chapel lodge is only a venue, whoever hosted the party hired those people so this venue should not be to blame if you were not satisfied.

We chose to have our wedding at this venue not just because of the beautiful property but also due to the warm welcome we received from the very start when we were touring the venue. Jaycie was such a pleasure to work with and who always went the extra mile. From the beginning, Jaycie genuinely makes you feel like your wedding will be special and stand out from other weddings she has helped plan. Jaycie knew many of the vendors we used and communicated with them, she gave us great ideas on additional considerations for the wedding and always had an ability to quell any stress we had from general wedding planning. There is nothing that she can not do! Jaycie was simply the best and we highly recommend her as both a venue and wedding coordinator!
Just 20 minutes south of downtown Austin, the outdoor space of the venue features massive oak trees that sets up a beautiful natural backdrop for the ceremony space. With the 50 acre property having a vineyard, expansive fields and a pond, it offers many opportunities for capturing memorable photos, especially during golden hour. The wedding flowed seamlessly from the ceremony under the oak trees to the cocktail hour in the courtyard to the dinner and reception in the indoor/outdoor tent. For any last-minute wedding needs, there are grocery and liquor stores, restaurants as well as after hour bar locations nearby. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

I had the wedding of my dreams at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge.
From my first venue tour with the owner, Krista, to the big day itself, the entire planning process was smooth and seamless.
I am especially thankful for Catherine, the in-house coordinator, who went above and beyond in making sure the day went off without a hitch.

We had our wedding at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge, and it was a smooth, beautiful, well-run and incredibly memorable event.
Venue: Gorgeous outdoor venue with a peaceful setting for the ceremony and so many wonderful places to take stunning photos. There are the vineyards themselves, a pond with a fountain, the ceremony setting and the main house which has a Mediterranean feeling.
Contract discussions: There were some points of negotiation in the contract. Chappel Lodge was flexible to meet some of our requests and, if they did not, they were transparent about their rationale for a particular requirement or clause.
Vendor flexibility: Chappel Lodge allows couples to find their own vendors, with approval from the property, which opens up a very broad set of vendors.
Planning: Catherine was our day-of event coordinator that is part of the package of working with Chappel Lodge (you have to have your own as well), and she provided valuable and practical guidance throughout the process. She is clearly very experienced and could give us guidance for every step of our day.
Overall we highly recommend hosting your wedding here!

This was the most beautiful venue! We got lucky with having our wedding in late March when the bluebonnets aren't supposed to be out, but they were for our wedding and it was magical! Catherine is the on-site manager and we hired her as our day-of coordinator as well, and she did a fantastic job making sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend getting married here! It is a picturesque and unique wedding venue.

I fell in love with the Vineyard at Chappel Lodge the minute I visited. My partner and I were looking for a naturally beautiful venue in Austin city limits when I stumbled on the venue accidentally while on google maps. And I'm so glad I did! The grounds allowed a carefree and open environment with ample space for our community to enjoy while being socially distant. It also exuded the beautiful rustic elements we were looking for to would make our guests feel right at home. And that gate!!
When I saw that gate, I knew the vineyard would be my venue.
I had my wedding at VCL and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great it was. And that is all thanks to the great staff! You'll meet Catherine who is just a wealth of knowledge and really looks out for your day and your needs. She was such a reassuring force throughout the process and made herself available for any questions along the way.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable support team, an Austin wedding venue that serves beautiful scenes, and a relaxed and classy/casual atmosphere that's less than 20mins from downtown Austin... you have to check out The Vineyard at Chappel Lodge. I'm so so glad I did.

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge (and especially Catherine Haffner) made our October wedding an absolute dream! We fell in love with the venue when we first toured, and everything went so smoothly on the day of because of the hard work of the staff at VCL and our vendors. I highly recommend booking Catherine as the in-house coordinator - and she does so much more than just the day of. She eased so much of our anxiety by managing all of our vendors weeks before the wedding day to ensure everyone was on the same page. She also checked in with us regularly during the process to make sure we knew what we needed to get for the wedding and to make sure our hopes for the day were carried out. On the day of, she continuously checked in with us to make sure we were taken care of and continued to make everything run smoothly throughout the entire night. The venue is beautiful and we had multiple wedding guests tell us how perfect the venue was! Also highly recommend booking the on-site cabin the night before for a less stressful wake up. Overall, it was the perfect venue choice for us and we would choose it all over again!

We are still in awe of how magically beautiful and perfect our wedding was at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. The grounds were stunning from the two old intertwining trees that shade the reception site to the open cocktail hour courtyard to the tented reception with plenty of dancing space. Krista was so kind, and Catherine is the best, most helpful coordinator - hands down! Our family also rented the cabin on site and had the best time watching the deer frolic all day. We are so happy that we were able to have our wedding here and so grateful for all of the support, love, and help from everyone at this venue! In short, highly recommend!

This venue is Hill Country vibes without the drive. As soon as we visited, we knew this is where we wanted to get married. We loved working with Krista (venue owner) and Catherine (venue coordinator). They were both easy to work with and answered all of our questions. We loved getting married under a live oak tree and cannot wait to see our pictures. The flow of the venue also works perfectly between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception under the beautiful tent. The tent also has fans and A/C, which is extremely important in the Austin heat. The bridal suite was also perfect to finish getting ready in. We absolutely adored our wedding at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge and we cannot recommend it enough.

Fantastic venue!!
The in-house day of coordinator, Catherine Haffner, went way above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly on our wedding day, and was so lovely to work with!
The venue itself is gorgeous, open/airy and very thoughtfully designed. The bluebonnets and wild flowers were in full bloom, adding a beautiful splash of nature to our April 16 wedding.
From our first call with the owner, Krista, to our late night goodbyes with Catherine, we couldn’t have imagined a better team for our big day.

From start to finish our experience here was top tier. The owner Krista is as warm and welcoming as the venue itself. The location is drop dead gorgeous and is set up in such a way that everything flows and feels so organic. The getting ready rooms were spacious and felt super luxe. The ceremony space is perfect and the way they set it up, the pictures turn out incredible. All of the small touches are what makes this venue so unique. You really do not need to add a lot, if anything, to transform this space into a perfect wedding backdrop. You can just tell the amount of care put into the spaces by the whole team and they were always so accommodating to all of our wants and needs. The courtyard spaces were perfect for cocktail hour and the reception tent gave us the party of our dreams. If you book here do not think twice about also booking Catherine (the venue coordinator) as your wedding planner. Her input and services helped make our event absolutely magical from start to finish. She is in complete control and worked with all of our vendors to make sure the day went off without a hitch. I would recommend this venue (and Catherine) to anyone looking for a perfect wedding. My husband and I keep talking about it and wish we could have another party because it was just that incredible.

Everyone says your wedding day is the most magical day- and they are not wrong! At the Vineyards at Chappell Lodge, amongst family, friends, large oak trees and a few deer, my husband and I became THE FISHERS.
My number one priority was to have a place that allowed for beauty, ambiance, fluidity, and good vibes. We had so many out of town guests that we needed somewhere that was close to DT Austin (25 minutes) and allowed us to have the ceremony and reception in one place. Trust me, the ease of having your guests walk straight to the cocktail hour without having extra transport is both smart and practical. Each space (vineyards, oaks trees, courtyard, pond, villa, and tent) offered picturesque scenery, which resulted in the most amazing photos for us and our guests! Additionally, very little decor was needed since the space was designed with elegance and Mediterranean aesthetics.
I also need to mention the bridal suite and groom's den- Each was spacious with all the sinks, mirrors, hanging and floor space you could ever need. Throughout the night our wedding party could pop in to change their shoes, use the restroom, etc., and be back to the party within minutes. Our dance floor was bumping for the entire wedding and with the flow of the venue, guests were able to feel that they were in the action even when taking a break or getting a drink.
Lastly, Krista and all at the VCL were fantastic to work with! I met with Krista in May of 2020 when all things Covid related were up in the air. She made me feel at ease and confident that the day would be everything I wanted. I did several visits to the venue and felt that every step of the way I had guidance and support. Weddings are stressful- and you will need the positivity, experience, and quality Krista offers!
I wouldn’t have changed a thing and was incredibly happy that we chose The Vineyards at Chappell Lodge! There is no way you can go wrong with this wedding venue. Thank you VCL for everything!

We were very happy with VCL for the venue for our ceremony and reception that we had in November 2021. We had originally planning on getting married in April 2020 but had to reschedule twice due to COVID. VCL was very accommodating with both changes (we had to pay a fee for the second change, but it was reasonable). The venue is incredibly beautiful and all of our pictures turned out great. The reception location and having it "open-air" made all of our guests feel a bit more comfortable in the COVID-times.

This venue was perfect for the rustic and elegant wedding we had envisioned. Krista and Catherine did everything to ensure we had the absolute best day. After postponing for a year due to COVID, we could not be more happy and grateful with how things went. We went all out and enjoyed every single minute. The staff was always welcoming and caring when we visited the property with our vendors. They are incredibly flexible and let you take advantage of every corner of the venue as long as you respect the rules. We have absolutely zero complaints. Thank you, Krista, for the support since we started this journey back in 2019!

Like other recent engaged couples our wedding planning was a whirlwind. We toured several venues in early 2020 and fell in love as soon as we visited The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. We knew immediately that it was the perfect venue for us! The open fields, vineyards, tent, and giant oak trees really embodied what we were looking for in a Hill Country wedding. We could not believe such an amazing venue is located in south Austin, so close to guest accommodations and dining areas all within 5 miles. We immediately booked! Krista was wonderful to work with.
Due to Covid 19, we decided to postpone our wedding to 2021. Krista was very understanding and worked with us on a new date for the following year. She really made us feel supported the entire way and was always easy to reach with any questions we had asap! The venue really is amazing, all chairs and tables were included, and is pet friendly. They also have a list of recommended vendors to make the whole process easier! Rental furniture was also included which really made the whole experience so much easier.
They even allowed me and my bridesmaids to arrive hours early for hair + make up. The bridal suite is fully set up to accommodate hair + make up services (I had 7 bridesmaids and we had plenty of room to lounge and get ready).
We also hired the Day of Coordinator Catherine. She truly is AMAZING! We cannot recommend her enough! All throughout the entire process she answered any questions we had and met with us to plan the entire wedding day a few weeks before the wedding. On our wedding day she made everything go smoothly. She worked amazingly with all of our vendors and made the wedding of our dreams come true, while making sure we enjoyed ourselves!
We also took advantage of the lodging options offered by the venue. My husband and I spent the night in the gorgeous bridal suite!!!
We definitely recommend the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding venue!

We toured several venues before choosing The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge, but once we visited, we knew right away that it was the venue for us. We were so in love with the fields and fields of wild flowers surrounding us and the open-air feeling of the giant white tent. And we chose right - our wedding was such a dream! Although we did have our own wedding planner, Catherine, the venue manager, was beyond helpful! She was so responsive to all of my emails and questions, and we just felt so supported throughout the entire wedding planning process - even through Covid. There are so many added bonuses that came along with our venue: 1) furniture rentals included! We were able to choose a few gorgeous couches and chairs to create a cool seating vignette for our guests to hang out in. 2) Lodging! We took FULL advantage of all of the lodging options provided. Our entire bridal party (16+ their spouses and dates) were able to stay overnight comfortably using the huge, adorable cabin on the property and the very well kept rooms in the lodge. The also provided the absolutely gorgeous bridal suite for me and my now husband to stay in on the night of our wedding. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a partially-outdoor wedding. (I recommend April - the weather was perfect!) You cannot beat the views, the vibes or the professionalism of this place. Thank you VCL!!

I had an overall great experience working with this venue for our wedding. Krista was really helpful and accommodating. The grounds are really special, and I found it to be the most beautiful place to have an outdoor wedding within Austin city limits. We ended up having a really rainy day for our wedding day and the tent on site was perfect for the festivities. My only things to point out are that the rental of the space only includes 11 hours (not the entire day) and that a day of coordinator is required. These things totally worked out for us, but I didn’t realize them when I booked so I thought I would point it out!

Booking our wedding venue at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge was the best decision we could’ve made! From the first time we drove into the property, we were absolutely amazed at the beauty of the venue. The staff and our day of coordinator, Catherine, were always so helpful and quick to reply. Planning a wedding during the pandemic was beyond stressful, but to top it off our wedding landed the weekend the winter storm hit Texas! The week leading up to the event, Catherine was in constant contact with us, running all of the possible options we had through every scenario. The night of our wedding, it was below freezing, wet, and unlike anything we could’ve expected. Nonetheless, our night went incredibly well and without a hitch! Our guests were warm and sheltered from the elements, but it still very much felt like an outdoor wedding. Catherine and her team were organized, diligent and there for anything we threw at them. VCL is amazing and I highly recommend booking there and also hiring Catherine!

We absolutely adored our wedding venue, not only because the venue itself was beautiful and met our needs, but because of the staff that works for VCL. From our first interaction with the sales staff, to meeting the owners, to our fabulous day-of wedding coordinator, Catherine, the staff at VCL was welcoming, helpful, and professional. Their jobs are certainly not made easy during a pandemic, but they remained professional and supportive throughout. We received so many compliments from guests who attended. We are so appreciative of Catherine for making our big day less stressful and hectic, and for refocusing our energies on the things that truly mattered. My husband and I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion. We've even discussed returning someday way into the future to renew our vows! Five stars. Highly recommend.

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is the most beautiful venue I have ever experienced. The grounds ... The ceremony site ... The Lodge ... The Cabin ... In this era of Covid, we never once considered postponment of the wedding. The outdoor venue allowed for social distancing during the ceremony and reception. We could not have asked for a more helpful day of coordinator in Catherine. She runs a "tight ship" which takes the burdens of details off the bride and the Mother of the Bride. Awesome experience!!! Highly recommended!!

My husband and I had our wedding at Chappel Lodge and could NOT be happier about our venue choice! The venue is beautiful and very convenient location (20min from downtown). The space is very flexible and could be used for different sized weddings.
We hired Catherine as our day of coordinator and she was amazing, she made sure everything ran smoothly even with some last minute changes! We had unexpected weather and Chappel Lodge worked through the changes seamlessly and I was stress free.
I could not recommend this venue and Catherine enough!

I cannot say enough amazing things about The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge and our coordinator, Catherine Haffner! The venue was breathtaking - from the beautiful vineyard, to the large oak trees, and the stunning field. There was no shortage of amazing photographs from our special day. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. Catherine and the staff at VCL worked tirelessly to make sure that I still had the wedding of my dreams, even during COVID-19. Catherine handled every detail of my wedding perfectly and never let me know of any issues that occurred behind the scenes. Saying "I Do" under the huge oak trees was so amazing. The reception area is covered but not enclosed, so we could still enjoy the beautiful scenery at VCL. This venue had everything we wanted and more! It was the perfect venue for a wedding during COVID. We were able to invite all of our guests and space them apart, everyone felt comfortable since the ceremony and reception were held outside. All of our guests had an incredible time and still talk about our wedding and ask about the venue! I wish we could get married here over and over again!

If you’re looking for a gorgeous, outdoor, rustic, ethereal and unique wedding venue near Austin, RUN DONT WALK to the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge!!! I was a Covid bride who had to relocate my (already postponed) wedding from San Diego to Austin less than 3 months before my December 2020 date. Miraculously, they had my open at Chappel Lodge and after visiting the venue, I knew it was the one. I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the entire team there. Krista (the adorable owner) was SO helpful during the whole process, and she is just so sweet and easy to work with. They worked so well with all of our vendors (including some that we brought from CA), and the day itself turned out SO PERFECTLY. My family took advantage of their lodging options, which they loved. And my bridesmaids loved getting ready in the huge and spacious bridal suite. Overall, I could not have imagined a better venue!!!

Where do I even begin!! My now husband & I were on the search for our dream venue - outdoors + a big white tent for the reception (something I have dreamed up since I was little!). We went on multiple tours of venues and came across VCL and absolutely fell in love. Between the stunning oak trees that frame the ceremony space so beautifully, to the vineyard vines, the sprawling fields AND THAT TENT - we found our perfect venue! Not to mention the best coordinator a bride can ask for - Catherine was so helpful, supportive & responsive which was all so appreciated. 2020 was definitely a curve ball but Catherine continued to assure us not to worry, and kept us updated on all recommended guidelines on moving forward with our wedding. Fast forward to our recent wedding day 10/24/20 - we could not have been more happy. We lucked out with some amazing weather, and the venue was absolute perfection especially seeing all vendors come together and see your vision & planning come to life. Our guests were gushing at how beautiful & unique the venue was - and we couldn't agree more. We are so happy to have chosen Vineyards at Chappel Lodge & Catherine's coordination services and I will recommend it over and over again to all ATX brides!

Krista's kindness, friendliness, humor, and attention to detail were all so appreciated. She cares so much about her clients and wanting to ensure they have a beautiful day. She has so many small touches to really make the day magical for her clients. On top of it all, the property is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend it!!

Such a magical venue that was EXACTLY what my now husband and I were imagining for our wedding day!! As soon as we left our initial tour of the venue, we had literally nothing wrong we could say about the place - and they even have an on site coordinator (Catherine) who knows the place back to front and from top to bottom! The whole venue just smells like flowers and gives you such a special feeling. My girl crew and I even rented the on site cabin the night before to stay in after our rehearsal dinner and got ready there the next morning until we went over to the venue!! SO fun!
I had so many people come up to me on our wedding night complimenting the venue!! Couldn't have chose a better place!!

As with many Spring 2020 weddings, our wedding unfortunately had to be postponed. Our original venue didn't have any openings until July 2021 and we were lost at what to do. We began our search for a new venue and found The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. How we missed them in our original search we don't know but we couldn't be happier we finally found them. We decided to move our wedding to the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge in May 2021. When we told Krista we were still planning on getting legally married somewhere in Austin on our original date she offered the option to get legally married at the venue. After facing so many roadblocks we finally felt like we'd be handed some positive information.
Krista set up a lounging area for our immediate family and put out chairs for our little ceremony. The day couldn't have been more perfect and the venue is so fitting for us. Krista's kindness and willingness to help us during these odd times was so refreshing. Greg and I are already thinking about how we can make our 2021 ceremony there even more special and even though we were bummed we couldn't have our big wedding this May we are so fortunate to have found this amazing venue.
If you're looking for a venue that provides beautiful scenery, and amazing people to work with, the The Vineyards at Chapel Lodge is your place :)

My husband and I just had our wedding at VCL this February 2020 and it turned out to be even better than we expected! Catherine was always available to answer questions and was extremely accommodating all the way to the very last minute. Also, the facilities and grounds were maintained perfectly. We ended up having around 140 guests but there was plenty of additional space for a larger wedding if necessary. Thanks to all the staff at VCL for helping us create a day we'll always remember!

This place is awesome! From the moment we stepped onto the grounds and saw the big, beautiful oak trees, we were sold! We got married in February, so we didn't benefit from the vineyards themselves or the flower fields, but everything was still beautiful and green and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. All our favorite vendors had worked the venue before, so logistics and coordination was a piece of cake, and the staff at VCL were totally on the ball, and super accommodating. There was plenty of space for out 120 ish guest wedding, and the rooms for the bride and groom were great. We had an amazing wedding, and the pictures came out fantastic, and a lot of that was due to this great venue. We can't recommend VCL enough!

Loved our Vineyards at Chappel Lodge Wedding!
We are SO happy we booked VACL and additionally happy we invested in Catherine to be our day of coordinator!
VACL was definitely the best bang for our buck! So many venues in Austin 'price gouge' their couples by charging ridiculous fees for specific items and are not up front. We chose VACL for a few reasons:
1. It's GORGEOUS! They have beautiful overgrown trees and the ceremony site with the gorgeous stone aisle is breathtaking. We loved the outside grounds and the fun cocktail hour that then flows into the reception tent. We had the most gorgeous day for weather so it felt worth the investment and risk for this outside venue.
2. VACL allows you to bring your own alcohol on site. We were able to have Specs deliver all the booze we needed (and were able to return it at just a 10% restock fee). Other venues do not allow this - which for a wedding of our size (200 people) and charging per person per hour gets REALLY expensive! Additionally we were able to have the bridal party get ready onsite and enjoy champagne and whiskey while we were getting ready - no issues. A few other venues had strict rules about "no offsite alcohol!" with signs all over the bridal suite which I thought was silly.
3. People were worried about the train but this wasn't an issue for us and even if a train comes through WHO CARES - it will be another memorable moment and if you know it's a possibility you can have the sound ready to play some fun tunes.
4. CATHERINE! She was absolutely amazing and may our day flow perfectly. I've been in a LOT of weddings (over 10 as a bridesmaid) and worked with many coordinators and she is the best. She is direct, but pleasant, informative but willing to listen. Too often I've seen details go missed and that just won't happen with Catherine!
5. The capacity - this venue was perfect for our 200 guests - we were able to sit everyone at the chairs at the ceremony (chairs and tables included in the venue! another huge plus!) and we fit perfectly under the tent!
6. The location! A lot of locations like this are far from Austin making the logistics a nightmare for out of town guests. We had all our guests stay at the Omni Hotel Southpark and then provided shuttles to and from the venue - just a quick 15 minute ride. Then they had access to downtown Austin and were able to enjoy our wedding and still have access to Austin. Other venues are so remote it leaves guests stuck in places that aren't ideal.
VACL was a great choice for us!!!

Our daughter knew the moment she saw this venue it was the one. We had about 140 people attend and the venue accommodations were not only breath taking but perfect in every way! We hired Cathrine Haffner, the on-site coordinator who truly shocked us with her ability to run the wedding day with such ease and expertises. As the mother of the bride I felt so relaxed the entire day and was able to enjoy every minute because Cathrine handled all of the vendors and tended to our guests needs. Highly recommend this venue and Cathrine to anyone wanting an amazing Hill Country wedding!

Wow, I am not even sure where to start with our review of The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge! Absolutely everything was incredible!
Firstly we had the awful task of locating a venue for the month December. After looking at dozens of venues online we came across this beautiful venue. We called first to make sure they had availability with our December 7th wedding date. The pictures looked incredible, and it looked like such a beautiful location.
We both fell in love with the look and the feel of the venue driving up for our onsite meeting. It was so surreal. The beautiful oak trees, pond, deer and facilities were absolutely beautiful. When we called to make a onsite interview Jaycee and Catherine were so lovely. They made arrangements for us to view the venue and explained the different areas. Jaycee took us through a general run through of what most couples do on their day but let us know they were very open to any creative ideas we had to make things a little different for our day. She really put our minds at rest and we knew that this was the venue for us. Catherine was our wedding coordinator and helped us finalize all the details for the day of. She made the wedding day run so smooth.
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your hard work in making our wedding the best day of our lives. It would not have been possible without you all. All of our guests had a wonderful time and couldn’t praise the venue enough. It was so lovely to see it all come together so beautifully on the day – thank you so much again!
Best wishes

The venue itself is so beautiful - in the few times we visited, there were groups of deer running by, which was so special. The venue is close enough to town to be very convenient, but also feels amazingly peaceful. We loved working closely with the team there, and are so grateful for their support and partnership over the past several months!

My husband and I just got married at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge in August and they were so wonderful and accommodating. We had both our ceremony and reception there on a very hot Texas day but our guests hardly noticed the heat. The ceremony site is well shaded and the tent stayed cool in the evening with fans going. We worked with the day-of-coordinator who works at the venue, Catherine and she was pivotal in helping our day go so smoothly. She made sure all the details were handled on the day of the wedding and we were so thankful to have her there. This venue is gorgeous and leaves you with a feeling of being away from the city even though it’s only 15 minutes or so from downtown.

Her personality is incredible and her positive energy is contagious. Jaycie and Catherine were awesome to work with and communicated well throughout the process.

The venue at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge (VCL) is both lovely and amazing; one of the most beautiful settings we could imagine. On our first visit, we were sold. The wedding for our daughter and her fiancé hosted by VCL was perfect in every way. The wedding was held in the Spring with bluebonnets in full bloom; just imagine the beautiful photos that were taken. The site of the wedding ceremony under the big oak trees seemed to envelop the couple as they said their vows; what a beautiful memory. During the planning process, everything went smoothly. Jaycie Kreitzer, the venue’s Director of Sales and Operations, was energetic
, friendly and paid attention to every detail of the wedding of our daughter’s dreams. She was very accommodating to all of our requests, including visiting the venue several times when we needed additional information for décor and the flow of the event. Jaycie was a delight to work with. We highly recommend this venue not only for weddings but for other events, as well.

This venue/team was nothing short of amazing. We booked our date almost a year out so a lot had happened (plenty of pics to creep on their Instagram) and they kept us in the loop through every change and exciting moment that happened. The day of went off without a hitch- sweet Catherine felt like my cheerleader the whole weekend and we had the pleasure of also working with Jaycie in the beginning- they were both so helpful, kind, and listened to all my requests/questions. The venue is jaw dropping. The tent they've added with the dimming lights MADE the wedding. It was so fun to work with a tent that was already included and really make it my own. We had a reception of just over 200 and it was the perfect amount of space- no issues with crowding. We had 2 bars and did food family style, which I think helped a lot with crowd control. All in all- this venue was a dream to work with and they couldn't have made our wedding day any more perfect!

I would like to extend my warmest thank you to Jaycie and Catherine for being so present, caring, absolutely 100% accommodating to our timelines, schedules and our questions. Catherine was our coordinator - an absolute delight in handling vendors, being there for you on the day of and the evening of the wedding. We will recommend her, vouch for her, and sing praises to her to anyone who would listen. These two ladies made sure our weekend went as smooth as possible, and without their positivity and "can do" attitude we wouldn't have made it.
Now onto the venue itself. We got married at the end of Sept. The weather did end up cooperating with us, but even if it didn't, there was a super plan B that we worked on with Catherine. The sprawling grounds of Vineyards at Chappell Lodge are stunning. Most of the guests who flew in from NY and SF were smitten with the lavish trees, the pond, and nature all around. It's quite an oasis in the city (and surrounding neighborhood), and driving up to it, you'd never fathom just how beautiful (and large) the space is. We ended up renting the cabin and the venue rooms for our family and long distance vendors. They loved the proximity to us, and the care we took, to make them feel comfortable. The venue also allows you to extend the wedding until midnight (when most of the inside Austin venues cap you at 10 PM). This was cherry on top of the cake.
The stunning venue, outstanding staff - definitely recommend to future brides/grooms.
Thank you for making our weekend so special. You are an A+ team!

Jaycie may be the second best reason to book your wedding here; the first reason is that it's a beautiful venue. Aside from the gorgeous ceremony under the huge oaks and the beautiful reception area under the lights and or tent, everything went so smoothly. Jaycie is a wedding pro and knows how to take care of business. This place is beautiful and the staff is 100% reliable.

I need to start this review by saying that we had the most amazing wedding at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge in April!
Their website doesn't do the venue justice- the grounds are absolutely stunning, with gorgeous fields of wildflowers and romantic oak trees as a backdrop. Once we stepped foot at the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding (note: this was after having seen 8 different Austin venues in person and looking at countless others online in our research phase).
The professionalism and flexibility of the staff- Jaycie and Catherine- put us at ease immediately and made planning an Austin wedding from NYC much less stressful. With every email or call to them, they put our minds at ease, always answered all our questions, and were so accommodating throughout the planning process and on the days leading up to our wedding.
We could not say enough amazing things about the Vineyards, and nor could our guests for that matter! It was the absolute perfect location and we had the wedding of our dreams.
Thank you Catherine & Jaycie!
