The Vista on Seward Hill

VOSH stole our hearts from the first day we toured it till the day we said I DO! Sidonee and Larry were so amazing to work with and were always available to answer any of our questions and to help us navigate our wedding day. It was a joy getting to know them. The flow of the venue was just seamless and the grounds are just so picturesque. The Bride and Groom rooms accommodated all of our wedding party perfectly. The Secret Garden was also another gem and a perfect getaway for us to catch our breath. All of our guests had so much fun and are still talking about how beautiful our wedding day was. Thank you again to VOSH for all the unforgettable moments and memories that we made and that will forever be etched in our hearts.

We had a great wedding at this venue. The owners were pleasant, easy to work with, and reasonable throughout our planning process. On day of, the aesthetics exceeded our already high expectations and we received impromptu compliments on choice of venue from guests. Logistics (15 minutes from center of downtown Austin) are hard to beat and made our and our guests' lives easier.

I cannot say enough about Sidonee and Larry at VOSH. Everything was absolutely beautiful. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was. They fell in love with everything that we did when we first toured. The layout makes the day flow seamlessly and is a gorgeous backdrop for photos no matter what part of the grounds you’re on. The bridal suite was spacious with multiple rooms so no one was crowded or on top of each other. The lighting on the vanity was PERFECT. My makeup artist was so impressed and even our coordinator stated she’d never seen a venue with such good lighting for makeup. None of the men wanted to leave the groom’s area. They had a blast and it really helped them to relax to have a place to themselves tucked away to unwind and get ready. Sidonee took care of us right from the beginning. Very open communication, friendly and just all around a very sweet and genuine person. Thank you so much for helping make our big day a dream come true. It was everything we could’ve hoped for and more.

VOSH is an absolutely stunning venue. It was a great layout for my 92 guest wedding in November 2021 and not too far from downtown which was convenient. A few downsides though: -The sound system cut out for 45 minutes of our 2 hour dancing due to electrical issues. This was a big downer. The venue did compensate us some for the lost dancing time. The mic during my Dad's toast was cutting in and out and the music in the dining building was barely audible because it was so muffled. I hope the electrical system has or will be upgraded soon for future events. -Communication with the venue was a little tough. We booked the venue more than a year in advance and sometimes it took a couple weeks and multiple follow up emails to get a response on questions, like typical dining table layouts. -The venue owner called me 3 days before our Saturday wedding, which was 2 days before our rehearsal, to ask me to move the rehearsal to Friday morning since the Friday night wedding needed an additional hour for set up. I couldn't do that since my bridal shower was that morning which is when the owner suggested doing the rehearsal in the parking lot. That was a no from me since that negates the entire purpose of a rehearsal. Luckily the owner worked things out with the other wedding, but our rehearsal was in the middle of the other wedding getting set up which was really awkward and also that added unnecessary stress at the last minute. -We planned to use the on-site commercial margarita machine that's included with the venue rental. Apparently it was broken (the venue was waiting for a replacement part in the mail which didn't come in time for our wedding) but the venue never told us, so when I asked for a frozen marg during our reception I was surprisingly disappointed.

Choosing a perfect spot to get married is hard. I, along with my parents looking for sometime to find what I would consider to be the perfect location. I loved Vista because it was open and very big. I loved that it was so green and the lighting that was provided in so many ways made a for a beautiful night wedding. I felt the vista was different and the owners were so supportive.

Choosing the Vista on Seward Hill was easily one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. The space is beyond gorgeous, the owners are friendly and helpful, and Anthony, the DJ and defacto day-of planner, is amazing to work with. They were flexible with us when the pandemic hit and super professional and competent when it came to getting all the details in place. It was a perfect day and it couldn't have happened without the hard work and organization of Anthony and Sidonee. A special note for brides planning during the pandemic- we were easily able to hold everything outside (ceremony, dinner, dancing) at this venue to increase safety and out guests never felt cramped or uncomfortable. If you're looking for a space that can allow for safe social distancing and staying outside (while still being jaw-droppingly beautiful), this is 100% your dream venue. (Plus it's great that it feels like you're out of the city, but is close enough for Uber rides for guests staying downtown).

I can't say enough good things about The Vista. The owners are super sweet and accommodating, the venue comes with a GREAT wedding coordinator and DJ, and their preferred vendor list is definitely the way to go! Absolutely stunning scenery, truly endless possibilities. Thank you for giving us our dream wedding!

The venue is stunning and the owners are delightful! My wedding day was beyond perfect! I highly recommend!

Simply a beautiful venue. A lot comes with it so it totally worth every penny. My favorite thing about the venue was Anthony. He DJ’s, he coordinates, etc. There’s honestly no need for a wedding coordinator if he’s involved.

Sidonee and the entire team over at Vista on Seward Hill were so amazing to work with! This was the second venue we looked at very early on in our planning process, and we booked it right away because we could tell it was too good to pass up. The entire venue is just gorgeous, and so many guests have told us since the wedding that they couldn't believe how beautiful the entire evening was! Especially if you want a beautifully lit outdoor dinner, this is the venue for you!

We absolutely loved this venue! Do yourself a favor and book The Vista on Seward Hill for your wedding - I know the pictures on the website look amazing, but the venue is absolutely breathtaking in real life. Larry and Sidonee will make sure your wedding goes exactly as planned; they even gave us recommendations to keep our costs down. The icing on the cake, however, is Anthony. He is the resident DJ at the venue but goes above and beyond his DJ duties. He helped us with the rehearsal, mixed songs for our first dance, made sure we stick to our wedding timeline, orchestrated the entire flow of our wedding...the list goes on and on. He was a pleasure to work with - even all of our friends and family complimented him and his work. Your wedding can be a very stressful day, but know that you are in great hands with Anthony and his expertise! Thanks Larry, Sidonee and Anthony - you guys have been awesome!

Sidonee and Larry, the owners of The Vista on Seward Hill, and Anthony, who coordinates the sound and music (and so much more), enabled us to have the most wonderful wedding imaginable (and on short notice)!!! They promised to remove the stress of planning and to give us a relaxing, beautiful and romantic wedding day, and delivered even more than promised. They were always available for guidance and to answer our questions. We used vendors from the venue's recommended list and could not have been happier. Everyone worked together seamlessly to provide a flawless experience. Guest after guest commented on the beauty of The Vista on Seward Hill, which is the perfect setting for an AMAZING wedding! THANK YOU SIDONEE AND LARRY!!!!!!!

Vista on Seward Hill gave us the dream-full wedding day,  the venue is absolutely gorgeous. Soon as we met with Sidonee and Larry (the owners) it felt right, they were so kind and generous.   Our wedding was perfect, friends and families said Vista is the "hidden gem in Austin." Love you Sidonee, Larry & Anthony

This venue is as beautiful as it seems on the pictures. Dreamy and romantic. We're so happy we've found this wonderful place to share our biggest moment in lives. The venue holders and DJ are super warm and helpful. We didn't even need to hire a wedding planner/coordinator since the DJ already helped to coordinate all the work!!! Sedoni and Larry are super nice and responsive. It's definitely the perfect venue for your dream wedding.

I searched long and hard to find a venue that fit what I wanted, and The Vista on Seward Hill had exactly what I was looking for without a crazy high price tag. Initially, the cost of the venue was more than I wanted to spend. However, with how perfectly my wedding went, I would pay it again without a second thought! Sidonee and Larry are wonderful. They didn't always remember when I had scheduled to come by the venue, but always treated me with the upmost kindness and were extremely helpful every time I called or came by. I had an issue with getting in contact with the day-of coordinator to figure out the wedding day schedule to send to vendors, but when I called Larry in a panic, he took care of it for me. Anthony was very organized at the rehearsal and was spectacular the day of the wedding, which more than made up for the hiccup in contacting him in the weeks before. He had the day of the wedding all down to a science. I didn't have to worry about a single thing the whole time. All my guests were very impressed with how organized, yet relaxed, the day was. Everybody felt well-informed by Anthony on what to do without feeling rushed. There was absolutely no awkward standing around by my guests or waiting around impatiently for the next piece to start! I had told Anthony at the rehearsal that I wanted to start at 7, regardless of whether all guests were there, because I like to stick to a schedule. He made sure all guests were seated prior to that time. He came to check on me around 6:45 to see if I was ready. When I said I was, he went to get the groomsmen ready to walk and I was walking down the aisle shortly after 7! Sidonee came to check on me while I was waiting for my turn to go down the aisle and had a soothing conversation with me so that I didn't feel the least bit nervous. The attention to detail in the decor at the venue is the main reason I was drawn to it. The outdoor ceremony space is breathtaking and made for great pictures. My guests loved walking around the grounds during cocktail hour and during the dancing. My personal favorite spot is the secret garden where my husband and I had a private dinner while our guests ate in the indoor dining area. We didn't even eat much of our food from all the adrenalin still running through us, but it was so nice to sit quietly by ourselves and just enjoy being together before going to mingle with guests. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to Sidonee, Larry, and Anthony for everything. I got so many compliments the night of the wedding on how perfect everything was, and almost 2 months later, my guests are STILL talking about how much they loved the wedding. A huge part of that was the beauty of the venue and the amazing people running it!

Sidonee, Larry, Anthony, and the VOSH Team were an absolute dream to work with. They made our wedding date perfect and were extremely flexible with coordinating music, special touches that we wanted for our big day, etc. The venue is stunning (and almost seems like Austin's best kept secret - our photographer has been shooting in Austin for 11 years and this was his first time shooting at Vista). The VOSH Team did an incredible job of stepping in so that the groom and I really got to enjoy every moment of the day. If I got married all over again, I wouldn't hesitate even for a moment to re-book VOSH for my wedding. Thank you, Sewards for a perfect wedding day that we will cherish forever!

Vista was magical. My wife and I had looked at a few different venues, and all were very nice. But when we got to the Vista we felt transported. You go up this driveway and are suddenly in another dimension where everything is beautiful and almost out of time? We always said it felt almost like being in Greece or Italy. The mega highlight to me, aside from the aesthetics, was venue-within-a-venue-within-a-venue nature of Vista. There's the outdoor ceremony area, then another building for an indoor dinner, then another building for the after-dinner festivities. And each one has its own air and style to it. There's just a lot to explore in a small area, so it feels large and intimate all in one. Also, the DJ, Anthony, is terrific at what he does. I've been to a lot of weddings with bad DJs. And weddings with great DJs. I'm positive that Anthony was the best I've heard. Sidonee and Larry Seward were also incredibly nice and accommodating and patient. The personal touch they add goes a long way. I could continue to gush about the Vista, but, instead, you should just go see for yourself!

Amazing venue. Amazing DJ. Married here March 2019. Upgrades have been made recently and it’s beautiful. Anthony the DJ was perfect and everything ran very smoothly. Couldn’t have been happier with venue choice

I loved getting married here and my guests raved. Sidonee and Larry are all around wonderful people and will go out of their way to accommodate your big day. Recommend this venue to anyone getting married!!!!!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and they are always improving it. If you are looking for a venue that is close to downtown and surrounding hotels but secluded at the same time then this venue is for you. Plus you get the benefit of having Sidonee and Larry to work with. They were super helpful during the whole planning process, with not only recommending vendors to use but if you had any questions about anything they had the answer or could steer you in the right direction. Anthony at the Vista made the day of go off without a hitch, he kept us on schedule the entire night. I would definitely recommend this place, you will not be disappointed.

The Vista on Seward Hill is a hidden gem, 10-15min from downtown, yet peaceful and full of hill country magic! As many reviewers have mentioned, Larry and Sidonee couldn't be easier to work with! From open houses to an open-door policy, I visited the venue on several occasions with vendors, family, or just to see how the outdoors transformed in different seasons. They were easy to communicate with and always flexible with my schedule! You'd be hard pressed to find another venue, at this price point, that comes with as many amenities and details as VOSH. Anthony, the DJ whose services come with the venue price, works so hard maintaining the grounds, and he knows the property inside and out. He ensured the timeline went off without a hitch, but there were a couple lull moments where guests weren't necessarily feeling the music - in hindsight, I wish I would have asked him to change the song as soon as the dance floor started to empty. Our wedding was on 11/3/2018, and it rained for weeks prior to our big day. Sidonee constantly updated us and worked with our coordinator to edit reception table arrangements to ensure our guests didn't sink. As luck would have it, we had perfect weather, and the outdoor ceremony and reception were gorgeous. I spent almost nothing on decor, as VOSH came with luxurious velvet sofas and tables, cocktail hour fire tables, plenty of greenery, and much more. We did a ton of research on caterers, coordinators, and photographers, but ended up going with the ones initially suggested by Sidonee - they have been in the business long enough to know who can be held accountable to make your life SO easy the day-of.

Larry and Sidonee are a dream to work with- they were so accommodating during every step of the process. We had the wedding of our dreams come true at their venue! The oak trees, fountains and koi fish ponds created a magical experience. We flipped the ceremony space into dining after which we highly recommend- and the fire cocktail tables were perfect for when the temperature dipped in the evening. It was beyond our wildest dreams perfect!

From the moment we pulled up to The Vista on Seward Hill (VOSH), we knew there was something very magical about this place. The family that owns the property is so loving, caring, and are willing to go above and beyond your needs to make your event a memorable one. Larry and Sidonne Seward were such a joy to work with and we can assure you, they will not disappoint! The property alone sells itself. We were in awe of everything offered after we finished touring the beautiful venue. Anthony, their professional onsite DJ and wedding coordinator included with the venue, was outstanding and made our lives stress free for our special day. Matt Montalvo, who was our photographer recommended by Larry and Sidonne, was very familiar with the venue. He captured the essence of our memorable day in unbelievable pictures! He is truly a professional that understands timing, lighting, and capturing all the moments at the secret garden, the hill country sunset, and our first dance with the alluring chandelier as the background! We searched many venues in Austin and the Vista on Seward Hill was by far the best. The surroundings and venue alone are beautiful even without any decorations. From the choice of indoor or outdoor seating and/or reception, to the timeless water fountains/koi ponds and the lush canopy above, and to the gorgeous chandelier in the dance hall, this property has numerous facets that truly are a niche in the wedding venue world. Do yourself a favor and look no further. You can tell these people love what they do by the quality of care and love given to the property and to the wedding couple. Thank you for the memories of a lifetime Vista on Seward Hill!!!

An amazing venue! Vista has a wonderful mix of outdoor and indoor amenities that made our summer wedding work. Larry and Sidonee are a wonderful couple and so helpful with the planning process.

We first fell in love with Larry & Sidonee! A lovely couple that make you feel very welcomed and at home. Their beautiful home is on the grounds of the venue. In fact, Larry's "man cave" is available to use for the groom's area and the view is spectacular for photos. My daughter knew immediately that VOSH would be perfect for their wedding. I could go on for ever about the service, lovely grounds, and unique touches. As fate would have it... it rained all morning but by 2:00 we were set for an outdoor wedding because The Vista is situated on a hill and the water drains very quickly! We decided to move the dinner indoors just to be safe. So, plan B is a nice alternative if the weather prevails. The setting allows for an easy indoor/ outdoor flow with several bars, sitting areas with no need to do rentals! Our quests were in AWE. Thank you Larry & Sidonee for treating us like family and for the care that I'm sure that you put into every wedding! Best Ever Venue ! #dreamwedding

What a great experience with the Vista on Seward Hill! The family that owns the property is more than kind and always willing to go above and beyond for your comfort. Larry and Sidonee Seward are ultra sweet people, and in no world could I see them disappointing anyone. The lighting and fixtures that Austin Event lighting installed was magical. If you like chandeliers then you’re in for a treat! Anthony their on site DJ is a gem of a coordinator. He really knows how to pull things together and work with you. Matt Montalvo was our photographer and I can’t say enough good things about him as well! That guy captured the essence of the day with such great vision. He’s a true professional with a positive energy that makes everything feel so natural! The flowers from Bouquets of Austin were impressive and they listened to my picky self. Stephanie Barro for the flower win! Food from Austin Catering was on par with the rest of the night. Very nice turn out with their work. My gold trophy goes to ILCfilms. I LOVE those guys and they do great fast work. They’re seriously a must have. Beautymark Agency provided two incredible artists. I was beyond pleased with Leah Black’s makeup skills. She matched my inspiration picture perfectly! Very good vibes with her as well. My hair stylist, Aneysa Moreno, flawlessly merged two hair inspirations I gave her. I need to be friends with these people I kid you not! So here’s the deal. Although it sounds like I don’t have anything bad to say, I’m a harsh critic! That is a true testament to how great of an experience I had. I searched many venues in Austin and none of which quite spoke for itself like the Vista on Seward Hill. The place alone is beautiful without any decorations. Do yourself a favor and look no further. You can tell these people love what they do by the quality of care given. Thanks for the memories Vista at Seward Hill!

Sidonee, Larry and Anthony were so awesome to work with, really accommodating and easy to schedule events! the grounds are beautiful and well maintained!

VOSH was the BEST choice for my wedding two weeks ago! After visiting several venues in Austin and Dripping Springs, we were the most impressed with how Larry, Sidonee, and Anthony did not treat our wedding like it was part of a business. Instead, they genuinely love what they do and were so excited for us. Anthony knows the venue and wedding flow like the back of his hand and did so much to relieve anxiety about the ceremony and reception timeline. In addition, the venue is gorgeous with wonderful trees that provide plenty of shade, which is very important in Texas. I could not recommend this venue enough to anyone who wants a beautiful, stress-free wedding.

I originally saw this property two years ago and instantly fell in love. The second I walked up and saw the amazing trees, the music playing, and where I would walk down the aisle, I knew I needed to get married here. The vibes are fantastic and fit an Austin wedding perfectly. Larry and Sidonee were fantastic hosts and extremely helpful. My family really enjoyed getting to know them and I can't thank the both of you enough for everything you've done. Every single one of my guests were absolutely in love with the venue and the wedding was so beautiful. Seriously out of a fairytale. Thank you both so much for a memory I will never forget. Fantastic venue and the most genuine, kindhearted people who run it and love what they do, which makes it even better.

My husband and I fell in love with this venue the moment we saw it. The owners were very nice and accommodating! They really helped make our wedding dreams come true. They have indoor and outdoor spaces which were perfect for our needs. I cannot say enough about how personable and helpful the owners were. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

My husband and I absolutely loved Vista on Seward Hill! The venue is beautiful and recent renovations really set it apart from anything else we saw in the city. A new $20k elegant chandelier to dance under, modern and grand blue velvet upholstery, fresh paint on the outside of the venue! We hosted a Sangeet (i.e. a ~185 person Indian rehearsal dinner) at the Vista and the venue fit perfectly. It was both spacious, yet still intimate. We were easily able to interact with all of our guests. Sidonee and Larry who own the space are incredibly sweet and genuinely cared about us having a beautiful and memorable event. They both stepped in to oversee the set-up and Sidonee was very responsive and helpful pre-event via email. Useful notes: Vista has a few strict rules which you should make sure to plan around (i.e. start time, end time, baby sitter requirements, etc.), but the rules are all reasonable and we appreciated that everything was clear and transparent from the beginning. DJ & Music - The Vista comes with their own DJ (Anthony) and the venue is wired for sound (for music and announcements) the whole way through which is incredibly convenient if you are hosting an indoor/outdoor event. Anthony is fantastic. We needed a mix of Indian and American music and were able to work with him on putting together a custom playlist. Anthony helped block time for a rehearsal to make sure he knew the flow of the event in terms of music expectations, key announcements (i.e. speeches, dance performances, when dinner was ready, and buses were leaving). He was great about following the event time line and making sure we stayed on schedule. Food - The venue has a limited list of pre-approved vendors they work with for catering, that said the options were fantastic. They do offer with a fee to run through a testing process for a potential set-up of a new vendor, which we were mainly interested in because the only Indian vendor they offered is specialized primarily in fusion/modern Indian food. But we ended up falling in love with one of the non-Indian pre-approved vendors, Rosemary’s Catering. Emily at Rosemary’s had worked with Vista several times in the past, and helped to ensure our event ran smoothly with no surprises. Weather - We hosted our event in December and as you can imagine the weather can be hit or miss. It happened to snow the week before our event, but we got pretty lucky with the weather. The evening weather for us was in the low 50s/upper 40s. It was certainly on the chilly side, but we rented 5 outdoor heaters and combined that with the fire tables that came with the space and we were able to get a lot of mileage out of the outdoor space, especially early in the night. As the night progressed, people moved indoors to get on the dance floor. Driveway - There is a bit of a steep driveway to get to the venue space. It’s not particularly hard to walk up, but some of our guests were older or pregnant and the walk was a bit difficult. If you are using buses, I’d recommend you confirm in advance that your bus company will drive up the driveway. This isn’t an issue with the 25-30 person buses, but if you have a 40+ person motor coach many of the bus companies will be hesitant to do this. In our case we actually confirmed this beforehand and the bus company still didn’t go up the drive way on the day of the event. It wasn’t a huge deal, but it can be a minor annoyance the day of the event so it’s best to plan around it ahead of time.

Very beautiful!! All my guests complimented on how spectacular the venue was, especially with all the new upgrades. Larry and Sidonee are easy to work with and are very accommodating to make sure your day is as special as possible. My husband loved the groom's gameroom quarters for getting ready with his wedding party and they allowed us to have our dog in the wedding and during the reception too - which truly meant a lot to me! I would have given the venue 5 stars, but my wedding ended unexpectedly an hour early despite all my planning and coordinating that I did. I was very organized and communicated the timeline, but somehow it still wasn't followed. I'm not sure what happened, but despite this occurrence I would still recommend this venue for anyone looking for a beautiful, amazing wedding like the one I had.

As soon as I walked onto the grounds with my mom I knew that this is where I wanted to have our wedding reception. It was perfect, everything went along with our Italian themed winter wedding! Sidonee and Larry were helpful with our many questions, and also offered many extra amenities. DJ, Anthony Fernandez did a great job in displaying the music my husband created a playlist for the wedding. The margarita machine was definitely a hit with all the guests and so delicious. That evening was absolutely beautiful and we continue to get compliments on how elegant and picturesque VOSH!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Vista on Seward Hill. It truly is one of a kind venue and even weeks after the wedding I continue to get compliments on it. I could not have picked out a better venue.

Sidonee & Larry are absolutely lovely people! From the first moment I️ spoke with Sidonee over the phone to speaking with Larry right before we departed they made sure to provide us with the very best recommendations, advice and accommodations. The venue is nothing short of amazing! I️t couldn’t have been more perfect in every way! Go with VOSH you won’t regret I️t!

We recently had our wedding at the Vista on 11/4. We got engaged a few months after moving from Austin to Portland, OR - so we decided that getting married in Austin was the best choice. I was stressed about having to plan a wedding from halfway across the country, but after finding this venue and calling and speaking with Sidonee over the phone, I was put at ease! I felt so comfortable speaking with her we booked the venue without seeing it in person. Our first trip to Austin we went by the venue for a tour and I was in LOVE. The photos are beautiful but there's nothing like seeing it in person! After meeting with the DJ, Anthony, I knew everything was going to go smoothly. He runs the show perfectly and on the day of our wedding I didn't worry about a thing! This venue was absolutely magical, everyone we encountered that worked with the venue was helpful and friendly - I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

Our fall wedding at the Vista on Seward Hill was absolutely gorgeous. The space is so beautiful, and we loved that there is a separate space for everything - a ceremony site outdoors, a courtyard for cocktail hour, a dining hall, and a ballroom for dancing. Our guests were absolutely blown away by how gorgeous the venue was. Sidonee is extremely easy to communicate with and was super accommodating to ensure our day turned out perfectly! Thank you!

We held a 40th birthday celebration at The Vista on Seward Hill and our experience was amazing. The venue offers a combination of indoor and outdoor space with very creative nooks that allows people to interact on whatever setting they choose. The outdoor dining setup (which we did) including the buffet area was amazing. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Highly recommend this venue!

I looked at tons of wedding venues in and around Austin, but none of them felt like "the right place". As soon as I toured VOSH, I KNEW it was perfect for our wedding day! From the koi ponds, multiple water fountains, elegant ceremony wall, separate dining/reception buildings and gorgeous landscaped grounds (the list goes on), we couldn't have had asked for a more romantic setting. Even my (now) husband loved it, which says a lot coming from a man :) The venue has so much character and on site decor, so I didn't really have to do much additional decoration planning which ended up saving us money in the end!! We had family coming in from other states and wanted to keep them in Austin, so location was perfect too! The owners, Larry and Sidonee, and venue coordinator/DJ, Anthony, greeted us with warm hugs and hospitality from the first time we met. These 3 truly care about doing everything they can to make dreams come true for couples starting a future together. Through countless phone calls, emails, texts and site visits, they always there to help with anything!! I got married there on 9-15-17. It was everything we imagined, plus more! We had about 130 guests and there was plenty of space for people to gather in the reception hall, boogie on the dancefloor, or just enjoy the gorgeous scenery outside. Even though we were in the city, it felt like a magical escape in the hill country. To this day, my guests are raving about how beautiful our wedding was :) Thank you to all of the staff here! VOSH will always be a special part of the day we said "I do". I would recommend VOSH to any bride on the search for a perfect inside/outside wedding venue in Austin!

What a wonderful experience! My husband and I were married at the Vista September 16. The whole experience was amazing. Sidonee and Larry helped us from start to finish. We are from out of town and she was able suggest the best vendors. The DJ, Anthony, was fantastic! So much more than just someone to play music, he really helped to organize and keep the evening going throughout the evening. On top of all of that, the venue is so beautiful. We loved the facility from the moment we saw it. Best day ever!

This place was absolutely magical. It's sweet and charming and unique to other venues. It's been recently renovated and especially when decorated it will absolutely blow guests away! The owners are also incredible, friendly and very kind people - it was an honor to be married on their property. The DJ was also included and he did a great job of following our requests and leading the crowd through the night. Amazing!!!

The venue is just perfect! It is everything you could ever want in an outdoor venue: beautiful stone work, nice tall oaks, gorgeous water fountains, the list goes on and on! Sidonee and Larry (property owners/mangers) were the cherry on top, they were helpful throughout the planning and execution of the wedding. It rained the morning of our event and they made sure everything was in order and the wedding went all according to plan!

VOSH is a beautiful wedding venue and also nice for special events. Sidonee and her husband at VOSH were great and very welcoming! They were helpful and clear throughout the whole process. They were always quick to return my phone calls and had no problems whenever I needed to go to the venue to take my vendors to check out the place. Anthony(dj/sound man at VOSH) was also great. He helped with getting our slideshow up for the day of, and also was there for the rehearsal and the day of to help run things(music, microphones, wedding party entrance) smoothly. Sean(her son) was helpful with getting the uplighting done for us throughout the whole venue. Which made the place look beautiful. I would highly recommend his services. They have a great team at VOSH. I was blessed to have the opportunity to work with such great people. I would highly recommend VOSH for anyone looking to have a wedding or special event.

VOSH was the PERFECT place for our wedding. Anthony ran our wedding like a well-oiled machine and was so lovely to work with. On the day, when ever any vendors asked me almost anything, I pointed them to Anthony! And he handled it all like a pro. And Sidonee was lovely and completely flexible from the start. Such a sweetheart. Oh, and everyone raved about our venue! Couldn't have asked for better. Thanks VOSH!

It's a truly magical place to get married and the owners and staff make it even better. The grounds are spectacular and there is not one area of the venue that isn't picture perfect! The staff and owners are extremely forthcoming with pricing and booking information. Like any venue be sure to review what comes with the venue and what doesn't though the staff and owners are very patient and prompt in providing you with any answer to questions, even if they're after your big day. VOSH gave us our dream wedding and the icing on the cake was that all of our guests had an amazing time as well. I highly recommend VOSH.

We had our May 26, 2017 wedding at Vista on Seward Hill (or VOSH). When I first stepped into VOSH, it felt "magical." It is just beautiful and green and always looked great no matter when we went (we visited the venue several times before our wedding). It's a very unique venue where the dinner hall is in a separate house from the reception area, so guests move into the reception area after dinner. Larry and Sidonee, the owners of the venue, were so friendly and helpful throughout the process. (They seem very respected in the Austin wedding community.) They made some changes to VOSH over the course of a few weeks right before our wedding (which I admit, did give us some minor heart attacks). Most of the changes were great though--they installed a beautiful new bar in the reception hall, but a few changes I was not as crazy about. For instance, the black archway that was covered in lights was taken down. Fortunately, they were willing to put it back up for our wedding and our guests loved taking pictures there. Several of our guests commented about how beautiful the venue was. You also really don't need that many decorations/flowers since it's so lush and green (we only had a few fake flower arrangements). Another great thing about VOSH is that you get a lot of bang for your buck as the price of the venue includes a DJ and day-of coordinator--Anthony. Anthony kept our wedding running smoothly and his song selection during the reception was great. (My one minor quibble is that he was sometimes slow to respond to our emails.) We are so glad we choose VOSH for our wedding!

The Vista on Seward Hill is the most beautiful venue located in Austin, Texas! I am so very thankful for Sidonee and her team for making my sorority's formal a success, thats right, SORORITY FORMAL! I did not expect a wedding venue to adjust to our needs, but VOSH did. They went above and beyond and included services that helped me (the planner of the event) out. The venue is absolutely spectacular as every ne of our sisters thought so too. It's also hard to please 200+ people, but at VOSH, everyone had a great time. There are three convenient bars, photo opportunities just about everywhere you turn, a rockin' dancefloor + a rockin' DJ. My favorite thing about Vosh was that it was secluded from the city, and it was like our event was in its own private city. I can go on and on about how wonderful VOSH is. I got engaged recently, and I definetly know where I'm going to get married in the years to come. Thank you so much VOSH.

We absolutely loved having our wedding reception at The Vista. In our venue search, we visited the Vista on Seward Hill and had no desire to see any others. Larry and Sidonee are extremely personable and operate like friends rather than vendors. They bent over backwards to make sure our wedding day was everything it was supposed to be, even opening up their home for the groom and I to share a private dinner during our reception. They were always available to answer questions and made wedding planning a breeze. Couldn't recommend them enough!

We had an absolutely gorgeous reception at the Vista on Seward Hill in June. After looking at several different venues, we immediately fell in love with VOSH. The grounds are beautiful with so many different indoor and outdoor seating options for guests, and we loved the set up of the dinning room and separate indoor dance floor and bar area. Larry and Sidonee were wonderful to work with, and they even came and danced at our reception:) Anthony, the DJ and coordinator at the venue, was great in helping the reception to move along smoothly and ensuring a fun and classy evening. I would highly recommend this venue if you desire a truly beautiful wedding venue with a great location in Austin.

The Vista on Seward Hill was THE PERFECT venue for our wedding! I wanted something romantic and gorgeous and The VOSH was just that. The venue itself is so beautiful you really don't even need much decorations or anything. The staff are super friendly and they are prompt responders to anything you have questions about. We LOVED it, our guests loved it, and our wedding was absolutely magically beautiful!!! I would get married here over and over again to my husband if I could lol

Our wedding venue was gorgeous! After two years of planning with some bumps on the way we finally got married (woo!!) Owner Sidonee along side her Husband and son are so sweet, easy to talk to and very accommodating. The property itself is gorgeous with the string of lights going from tree to tree, optional lanterns in every color possible, fire pit cocktail tables outside and all the gorgeous soothing fountains! Then there is the two buildings which are great for having a separate dinning room and a separate dancing room while still being in the same area! The DJ that comes with the venue, Anthony, is a sweet man and very accommodating as well! He made sure our guest go to point a to point b, took special request while playing popular favorites and variety of music and played great cocktail hour music! Couldn't say enough about the vista!

Words can not express how much I love this venue. I attended a wedding here 2 weeks ago and somehow left my (expensive) sunglasses there. I called a week later hoping someone had turned them in. Well sure enough, the owner said he had them and the cleaners always leave whatever they find on his desk the next day. Things such as jewels of dresses, shoes, and money have all been turned in. In my opinion that is absolutely amazing. On top of that the owner mailed me my sunglasses first class the very next day. I can't thank the staff enough for everything they did. This venue is well kept with the perfect amount of hill country charm and filled with the most amazing and caring staff.

Words cannot truly express how perfect my wedding was, it was truly out of a dream. From the atmosphere to the food, everything was amazing. When I first walked into the venue to tour it, my mouth dropped. There was an issue with my previous venue and I had to find a new one within a week. Sidonee was there to welcome me with open arms. I knew that this was THE place before knowing any of the details. This venue has everything you could ask for and more. Sidonee and Larry are such a pleasure to work with. They really care about their clients and are all around great people!!

Oh my goodness, where do I start bragging on this venue. The most beautiful place with the most beautiful people who are just like family. If you are thinking of a destination wedding in Austin you need to call Larry and Sidonee. They made my daughter's wedding day a true success and many of the guests said what a wonderful location. Chandeliers hanging in the trees and beautiful fountains and statues. What is not too love. Unfortunately I only have one daughter and can't do it again.

We just got married at The Vista on Seward Hill and it was perfect. Not only the venue looked like a dream but the staff was really helpful, making it low stress for me. Highly recommended.

Where do I begin about VOSH? Not only is this property breathtaking beautiful but so is the spirit of the more than personable owners- Larry and Sidonee. My now husband and I married only a short 4 month engagement and they helped us plan and navigate everything from ceremony to reception setup. It came recommended by our coordinator Patrice and being that I lived in Dallas I was limited in my availability to see the property and resorted to Yelp and online mediums for pics. The pictures online are beautiful but they do this place NO JUSTICE- as a bride you MUST visit the property and see it in all of its glory. Again being that we both reside out of town- my groom overseas, they kept us abreast of everything, answered every question even when they were away on vacation and were patient and understanding of our needs throughout the entire process. They were so loving, giving and ensured that VOSH would be everything we needed it to be on that day and gosh was it. As for the big wedding day- IT was amazing! The view was loved by our guests and even Sean of Austin Event Lighting- also a vendor that I highly recommend made some suggestions that ensured it went off without a hitch with perfect needed lighting. The transitions from ceremony garden to dining hall to reception room were smooth and we more than enjoyed the gorgeous picturesque bridal suite and my groom more than indulged in the groom's game room man cave so much so that he wants one of his own lol. If you are in the market for a wedding venue that isn't your typical hotel scene, gives you opulence in its ambiance with a Midsummer's Night Dream Glamour feel- please know that VISTA ON SEWARD HILL owned and operated by southern gems- Larry and Sidonee Seward is the BEST PLACE IN AUSTIN- HANDS DOWN! It was my first venue that I looked at and everything after it was more than lackluster! Thank you Mr. Larry and Mrs. Sidonee for making our wedding dreams come true! Dominique and Carlos Samuel

I really want to thank VOSH. I dreamt of a grand wedding since I was a little girl. With our extremely tight budget VOSH was so helpful and made my dream come true. They worked so hard and surprised me with such beautiful blessings I will never forget. I am so appreciative for everything they helped us with. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, they are extremely organized so I really just needed to show up and enjoy my wedding. I highly recommend VOSH to everyone. I really thank you again for helping my fairytale dream come true.

My husband and I said our vows with family and friends on May 27, 16 at the VOSH. I wanted an outdoor wedding with a Texas feel and I got it. The back drop is gorgeous. Indoor option if it rains, ceremony and reception in one area, the bridal room to the grooms room, I will never forget the Secret garden.They have thought of it all.We left relaxed, assured and confident that our wedding was going to be spectacular after each meeting. The Seward's gave us great advice and shared information when choosing vendors. Vendors have nothing but positive and great things to say about them and the venue. Our wedding turned out to be more beautiful and amazing than I would have ever dreamed of. Anthony was outstanding DJ and you have nothing to worry about the day of. Our guests never stopped dancing, out friends keep telling us how much fun our wedding was. Sean was great with the photo booth, must do at any event. Thank you to all at The Vista on Seward Hill for making our wedding the one night we will never forget! I encourage anyone to stop by and take a look at the VOSH. Love, Pete and Amanda Forsberg

I found this place and when I stepped in the grounds my face fell into my hands and I cried, I knew this was my venue. We had a small intimate wedding but we had very intricate details. We all dressed up as fairies with jewels and we wanted a fairytale ambiance. Sidonee and Larry, the owners, were 110 percent supportive. They always answered my calls and emails. Sidonee helped me with several different matters through out the year of planning. She was my rock. Our caterers and Anthony, the dj, were some of the most accommodating, patient and caring people. We felt loved. We had some kids and the staff would just jump into help us. This was my dream wedding come true. Not only is this place stunning and big and affordable it is priceless in terms of your dreams coming true. Thank you the vista.

My husband and I tied the knot at VOSH in April 2016! It was the perfect venue for our outdoor spring garden wedding. VOSH is an absolutely gorgeous garden space with beautiful ponds, status, and thoughtful details everywhere you look. Sidonee and her husband were a pleasure to work with. Not only were they professional, helpful, and prompt with our questions, but they were also kind and made us both feel at ease. The amenities/staff that come with the venue were also great...less work for me! It was also great to know that if it had rained, then we would have had beautiful buildings to have both our ceremony and reception to accommodate our 200 guests. Couldn't love this place more! Wish I could get married again.

Sidonee and her husband are absolutely amazing. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and was always great about getting back to me. The venue is breathtaking, and even though it was over cast and raining the day of my wedding, God truly provided when he made the rain stop just in time so that the wedding was able to be outside. I can't thank them enough for giving me the wedding of my dreams at their amazing venue/home. Not to mention, the guys LOVED the billiards room and everyone was talking about how personable Sidonee was. It was so convenient being able to have the ceremony and the reception at the same location. You will NOT be disappointed with this venue choice, highly recommend!

My (now) husband and I had our wedding here on 4.10.16. We were looking for a location that could accommodate a tiny party of 6 people total (including bride&groom) for a quick ceremony (no reception) and were drawn to the photos of the Vista on Seward Hill. We contacted Sidonee on a whim, not expecting such a large and successful venue to be willing to help us out, but we were wrong! Not only did they work with us for the short ceremony- Sidonee saw that we had what we needed day of and even set up a small flower arrangement for us since we weren't bringing any decorations with us. Hands down, the Vista on Seward Hill is the BEST venue in Austin. The kindness and hospitality we were treated with was exceptional and our wedding was more intimate and romantic than I could have imagined. Highly Recommend.

Hello brides and grooms! My wedding is 3 months out, but I have to let all brides know that Sidonee and her husband Larry have been so helpful! First off the venue is this breathtaking, spacious atmosphere! I cried as soon as I stepped into the magical ambiance that is the Vista because I knew I found my dream venue. There are statues and waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery. Sidonee and Larry provide beautiful lighting and will adjust color to your liking. The rate includes some center pieces and a D.J which is un heard of. To add the cherry to an already insatiable place I have been calling Sidonee and Larry non stop due to the pressure of the imminent wedding and they have went above and beyond for me. They always call me back with all my questions answered and more. I really can't rave enough about how wonderful these two people are. The venue also has a secret garden that will melt your heart. You and your husband will get to eat your first dinner as a married couple in a secret garden ( I mean come on)! I love them and I love The Vista. Love love love.

My husband and I got married here two weeks ago. We have nothing but AMAZING things to say about this venue. When we were first looking at venues, we had in mind what we wanted; something rustic and in the country. Boy were we wrong! We heard great things about the vista and as soon as we stepped foot on the property we realized this was the place for us! Everything was beautiful and the owners were great! They make you feel at home and very comfortable. After costing venue a lot to do planning- I knew our day was going to be beautiful. Honestly day of the wedding when I walked up- it was magical. Everything was so amazing. The sewards son, Sean, owns a lighting company and he had hung chandeliers and it looked just beautiful. I had a lot of family from California that came to our wedding and they were blown away. If you are looking for a venue in Austin, this is the perfect place! The owners are great, the dj is amazing, and they will make your dream day become reality!!

Exceeded Expectation! Immaculate Venue! My wedding was AMAZING!!! I asked for a dream wedding and that’s exactly what I got! Having my wedding at VOSH played a part in making my dream come true. The venue is very well kept- immaculate! The service was great and the support from Mr. & Mrs. Seward, Mr. Fernandez, and Mr. Krenek is truly genuine. At the time of the first moment my mother, former fiancé (now hubby) and I met Mr. & Mrs. Seward, I knew my coordinator- Shelley at Leave The Details to Me - recommended the perfect venue. Mr. & Mrs. Seward are so welcoming- offering more than open door access to their property. I can attest that the VOSH team truly cares for their clients and will look out for you from the time you first meet and beyond your special day! As a naïve bride, I asked many questions and got many questions answered timely. I ran across challenges that I overcame with the support of Mrs. Seward right by my side. I highly recommend VOSH to anyone seeking a great venue with great service!
