Villa Antonia is an idyllic al-fresco wedding venue located in Austin, TX. This beautiful space, carved into the Texas hill country, boasts stylish and elegant features, and excellent photo opportunities. Couples are sure to feel the romance flowing through this picturesque villa estate. Combined with superb management services, this charming villa can make fairy-tale weddings a reality.
Initially constructed in 1999, the villa was designed by a lady named Antonia for personal use. This labor of love arose from her passion for building the home of her dreams. Soon after its completion, couples began arriving at the door, asking if the villa was open for wedding-hire. Antonia was a romantic at heart, and so she transformed her home into a luxury location for ceremonies and receptions. Antonia’s lifelong project has been home to over 1700 events ever since.
Couples and guests alike are sure to fall enchanted by the old-world feel emanating from the stone terraces and winding staircases. Walking among the rose garden by the waterfall, couples can explore a fantastic vantage point overlooking the scenic views of the countryside. The combination of wilderness and well-kept greenery creates a romantic ambience will be difficult departing from. Defined by arched entryways, terracotta tiles, and iron-wrought detailing, every inch of the villa was carefully made to delight. A gorgeous chapel can be used for both indoor ceremonies and reception gatherings while the grounds boast equally divine outdoor spaces.
Operating as a wedding venue for so many years means that the villa staff understands what makes a wedding special. Down to the last detail, the venue’s coordinating team offers couples complete guidance and can execute every precious moment seamlessly. Wedding events have exclusive use of the grounds with facilities made available to accommodate last-minute weather conditions. The venue requests that couples select from their preferred list of coordinating, catering and bartending vendors to ensure a hassle-free event. Dedicated time allowances for rehearsal, setup, and teardown are also provided for each nuptial occasion. Couples can feel like royalty on a day they will remember for years to come.

ot need a lot of extra decor and florals because this place is stunning as is. You get access to the entire villa, with both indoor and outdoor options (which was very important to us in case of inclement weather). You can really customize the venue to fit your needs. It was also very clean, well kept (indoors and out!), and smells amazing. From the beginning of touring, to booking a date, all the way to the final walk through and wedding day, the staff was extremely helpful and kind. I could not recommend this place more!

Villa is hands down the best venue in Texas. I can't imagine a more beautiful venue or better experience. Everyone from the owners to the venue staff were incredible to work with. ...
They could be charging much much higher venue fees, but if they did having our wedding there would not have been possible. And I know it is important to the owners that their venue is not too far out of reach for most couples. That says a lot. Gorgeous, dramatic, magical venue. Great people. Great vendor lists. Can't say enough.

She helped me with vendors and even let me take my bridal portraits there as a wedding gift (best pictures I have ever taken with the best photo opportunities) - she did all of this on her own. The entire team is amazing, the venue is SO STUNNING. I cannot recommend Villa Antonia enough. It is breathtaking, but the staff there is what really sets it apart even more! You will not regret it. 10000/10!!!!

a-style architecture, lush greenery, and versatile spaces provided a magical backdrop that left everyone in awe. Pairing this stunning setting with Emily’s expertise brought our vision to life seamlessly.
Emily was incredible from the start, offering thoughtful advice and handling every detail with unmatched organization. She took care of vendor communication and anticipated needs we hadn’t even considered, making the planning process as stress-free as possible. On the wedding day, she flawlessly executed the timeline, ensuring everything unfolded as planned and exactly as we had envisioned.
Emily and her assistant, Carolina, were lifesavers on the day itself. They helped bustle my complex train, kept everything on schedule, and ensured John and I had everything we needed. Their dedication and calm professionalism allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of the day without worry.
If you’re looking for a venue with timeless beauty and unparalleled service, Villa Antonia is the perfect choice. Paired with Emily’s exceptional coordination, it created a wedding experience we’ll cherish forever.

incredible. I would get married here over and over again! Amy, the owner, was wonderful to work with, and the staff was great overall. Monica, the venue coordinator, was helpful, though she came across as a bit reserved. The only downside is that, unless you buy many additional hours, you'll have to get ready somewhere else and then go to the venue- so you don't really get the full use of the bridal suite for getting ready/getting ready photos. Nonetheless, we were beyond thrilled with Villa Antonia—it truly was the perfect setting for our wedding.

unforgettable!! For my husband and me, it was love at first sight. The second the Villa came into view as we drove through the Hill Country, we knew it was the one. Their open houses are also a wonderful opportunity to experience the venue in all its glory and to meet their wonderful team and vendors.
The Villa is family-owned and operated by an incredibly kind family, The Mauldings. Amy, the owner, has excellent communication, and her son Andy is so personable. You can trust them to ensure that your wedding day is as seamless as possible, and their recommended vendors are amazing!!
We highly recommend Villa Antonia to anyone looking for a venue that combines breathtaking beauty with exceptional service! You and your guests will genuinely feel like you're in Italy because it truly is like Tuscany in Texas.

was able to turn off my admittedly hyper-organized anxious brain and simply enjoy the moments day-of. Email communication leading up to our wedding was odd, and there were a couple things that I asked for that didn't get done (like hiding the blue planters that didn't match our decor, and putting away the misters), and the personal flowers almost didn't get pinned, but overall those are small blips and in the end we wouldn't have chosen anywhere else to celebrate our wedding. Thank you, VA (and Monica!) for hosting our wedding and making our day-of so easy!

ss it up" like you would with other venues. One of my guests described it as a "Hallmark wedding" with how dream like and surreal this venue was. Every inch of this place is beautiful and even with what ended up being a much smaller wedding than we had planned (only around 50 people) it created the most perfect intimate and special feel. We had everyone outside for dinner and that will forever live in my head as the most beautiful memory. I do recommend adding an hour to the contract before the ceremony if you are doing a first look. Without that, it would almost be impossible. However, you will not regret booking this venue!

Texas when you are there. We got so many compliments on the venue about how amazing the views are and the design of the venue. Villa Antonia was the first venue we toured and we were 99% sure it was the one. We toured two more in Austin but they couldn't compare. Amy gave us our tour and really sold us on the venue. She was also so helpful in letting us come out and see the venue again when we needed to take extra photos, measurements, etc. while planning. Monica is the day of coordinator and is truly amazing. She was so responsive to my several texts, emails, and phone calls leading up to the wedding. She also made our wedding flow and execute perfectly. Going into our meeting with Monica a month before our wedding, we felt so stressed as we had what felt like 100 different vendors and all these individual parts but no clue how it was all going to come together. We left that meeting with Monica feeling so relieved and so much better as she brought all of those pieces together. On the day of the wedding, Monica was awesome coordinating everything and helped us feel stress free. Maria was also so amazing. She put the boutonniere on everyone, made sure my wife and I had a drink as soon as the ceremony was over, and was constantly checking on us the entire night to make sure we had what we needed.
The bottom line is Amy, Monica, and Maria are the A Team and you have to get married at Villa Antonia. There is no reason not to.

We originally fell in love with Villa Antonia because of its beautiful architecture and landscape: the romantic, castle-like buildings; the rolling hillside; the numerous different...
areas to discover and photograph (butterfly garden, waterfall, chapel, tower); and the flexibility of having both a beautiful outdoor and/or indoor wedding. However, when we started working with the staff at Villa Antonia, we realized we were getting so much more than just the beautiful space. First, they already had all the tables/chairs we needed for our wedding, so we did not need to invest in outside rentals. Second, their staff are knowledgeable and experienced in planning and hosting weddings specifically at Villa Antonia, which means they know what ideas will work and what will need to be done day-of to help things run smoothly. There were three Villa Antonia staff during our wedding – Emily, our day-of coordinator; Maria, who helped with moving things and dress-bustling; and Jim, the security/parking attendant. All of them had years of experience servicing Villa Antonia and, due to their help, we were able to sail through our wedding and actually enjoy ourselves rather than worrying about what needed to be done next or focus on any fires that needed to be put out. Emily took care of communication with all our vendors, both day-of and leading up to for day-of coordination, and Maria expertly helped with set-up and break-down of items (including dress-bustling!) that we barely noticed! We appreciated their help and presence every minute, and we realized the service we received couldn’t have been bought! The venue is well worth the money – you get a gorgeous, multifaceted space that comes with its own furniture and an exceptional staff that makes sure your wedding is everything you want it to be.

ely breathtaking views weren’t reason enough to get married here, the coordinators and support staff really do go all out to give you the best experience possible on your special day. My husband and I are a same-sex couple and were both initially drawn in by the diversity showcased on their website. However, the support and respect we felt throughout the entire planning process, as well as the day of the wedding, made everything perfect. This venue is a showstopper and we fell in love with it instantly; none of the other venues we toured could even compare. We are both so happy with our decision! Everyone here treated us like family and were genuinely excited to see our love story play out. Monica and Maria were so incredibly sweet and personable. Even though they do this for a living and probably see hundreds of couples a year, they really did a great job of making us feel special on the day of the wedding. They also both worked tirelessly to make the day a perfect, memorable success. We both really appreciated that level of investment and will miss working with them. Truly exceptional every step of the way!

Quick Summary: Villa Antonia was one of the most incredible wedding venues I've been to and all their staff were top notch professionals! 100/10 would recommend!
I'm writing this ...
review coming from a unique perspective; I was a groomsman in a wedding on 12/20/21 but also the wedding planner for the couple so I was pulling double duty. I've been in this industry for what feels like forever and can say everyone at the Villa Antonia made this day as smooth and special as I wanted it to be for my friends. This was a destination wedding for the couple so it was especially important that we locked down all the details ahead of time so day of I would be playing the role of friend to the bride and groom, rather than wedding planner. Our day of coordinator, Emily, took special care to ensure that no details were missed. A few minor tablecloth issues were quickly resolved without fanfare and it was the smoothest wedding I could imagine! Thank you Emily and all the Villa staff for making that day so special and being so warm and accommodating throughout the planning process.
Also, the building itself is gorgeous, no need to over the top decor. Between the incredible views from all angles to the unique architecture of the buildings, this venue stands out!
100/10 would recommend!

We are from Chicago so I planned my entire wedding remotely, made layouts, directions, and handed all my details to Monica and Maria to take care of and not only did they make it happen, they went above and beyond. Monica is so damn good at her job and it shows. Maria was so wonderful too, whether it was guiding us and telling us where to be or putting a straw in my bottled water to make sure I didn't ruin my lipstick- it was the little details like that, that made our day just absolutely perfect in every way.

Monica, our coordinator for the wedding, ensured everything ran smoothly without a glitch. We cannot say enough good things about the professional, kind and warm staff and the facility is breathtakingly amazing. Go visit Villa Antonia, you will be very pleased. We sure are!

My eyes get watery thinking about the day we found Villa Antonia. We saw a random Pinterest post and knew it was the place for us. Villa Antonia is not only a beautiful, spacious v...
enue, it also has the most kind-hearted and excited people working with you to make your dreams come true. The venue itself definitely didn't need any further dressing up, which helped our decor budget. And, goodness, when the sun goes down and the lights illuminate the balconies.. It's just magical.

We fell for Villa Antonia’s charm last fall when we toured. We wanted to book it for October 2021. I specifically asked about their policy regarding postponement during our tour an...
d Amy said the Villa would work with us if COVID was still an issue. We did book the venue after our tour. However, due to COVID and the international travel ban in France, we recently had to reach out to the venue to ask about postponing. Amy immediately responded and was very understanding. She sent us the policy for Villa Antonia. We were able to resell our date, which gave us more flexibility to choose an available date in 2022. I’m very grateful to them for working with us and we can’t wait to celebrate in October 2022! Solid business and great customer experience in difficult circumstances. Thank you!

We knew we wanted to do a fully DIY wedding but still needed a beautiful backdrop to serve as a canvas. As soon as we arrived at Villa Antonia, we were speechless and taken aback a...
t how beautiful the venue was. It's atmosphere was romantic and magical at the same time. With so many options, you can be creative with how unique you wanted your wedding to be. The staff was just as amazing and was completely accommodating. We actually had to postpone our wedding during covid and they were so helpful with making something so stressful, so much easier. Chris was spectacular and a superstar. With her help and our coordinator Koehne Barlow, they made a miracle out of a wedding that was almost, just almost a last minute disaster especially with the wind. But they got their expertise together and took out their wands and voila.
Our ceremony took place inside in the gorgeous chapel which had perfect lighting. Just enough for a romantic setting, yet bright enough for gorgeous photos and videos. Terra Vista string's music (recommended by Villa Antonia) echoed perfectly through the chapel and sounded phenomal, setting the perfect mood. The reception was on the terrace and spread throughout (for covid reasons). The heaters provided warmth yet created such a magical ambiance.
We used Mopsie (super delicious!) as our caterer and chose the Texas BBQ. The ceremony and cocktail music was by Terra Vista. Both highly recommended by Villa Antonia. Terra Vista and DJ Saint from Complete Wedding and Events, played together whimsically and so profoundly, their fusion was one of the highlights of the night. Austin was known for live music, and we wanted to make sure that all of our guests (95% from out of town) can experience Austin's live music wonders.
The night ended with dancing in the chapel which was spacious enough for crazy fun dancing and whatever you and your guest plan for the rest of the evening. We had snake dances, toss dances, line dancing, and tamborazo. Not to mention the garter and bouqeut toss.
I can keep going and going about the wedding but I'd be writing a book. Our wedding is still talked about, and was said to be the wedding of the century! Lol. I wish the day last much longer, or at least keep replaying. You can view our wedding on Youtube and see for yourself. Some things, we just can't even put into words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rorhrx1WYCQ&t=110s
By the way, we even booked a photo session to get more intimate pictures of our family and redo some poses we missed because our day was cut short due to winter's hours. That venue is too beautiful and there are so many gorgeous photo opportunities. One day isn't enough. Thank you Chris and Amy from Villa Antonia. You both played such a huge part in make our big day extra special.

ommodate indoor and outdoor events and the venue makes it feel as if you are in a completely different country. The staff is absolutely amazing and treated not only us (bride and groom), but our guests like family! Chris Spady is such a joy to work with and it was like having a wedding planner. She was on top of every single detail of our wedding and it truly showed, because our day ran so smoothly! Maria is one of the sweetest people we have ever met and was a huge help on the day of our wedding. She took care of my entire family and we are so thankful for all she did. Chris and Maria worked so hard and made sure no one had to worry about a thing except to enjoy the day. Our day was perfect and we cannot thank the Villa Antonia team enough for making our day everything we wanted and more!
