Vintage villas is a beautiful venue, this was one of the first venues me & husband checked out and knew this was it. We booked our venue early back in 2023, and Samantha has been amazing.
It ended up raining on our wedding day but Samantha worked around us to accommodate for things that were needed. Appreciate her being on top of it and especially being flexible. The food was absolutely delicious, we heard that from all our guests that the food was fresh. We ended up going with the dual entree Parmesan crushed chicken & the steak and also had late night snacks where tacos were served.
Everything was beautiful about this venue and the staff were great!

When my now husband and I were looking for a venue for our wedding, we were looking for a place with lots of natural beauty. We wanted a place that was relaxed and felt like getting married in a nice living room rather than a barn. Vintage Villas fit our vision perfectly! It has stunning views over looking Lake Travis, a comfortable and classic event center and enough windows to enjoy all of the outdoor beauty.
Not only that, the food is amazing!! Our guests couldn't help but gush over how delicious the food was and how beautiful the center was. Sam our day of coordinator was very helpful and responsive. She was very professional and friendly, holding our hands through the planning process for the venue, bar service, onsite catering, table set up, and day of time line.
The only thing I would say is that after Sam left at 9:30 (which is standard for day of coordinators with the venue), we were told to ask a designated staff member for any remaining issues. When my bridesmaids were looking for this gentleman, they couldn't find him to ask if the AC could be turned down. Again, all in all, a wonderful evening with fantastic staff, who go above and beyond for the bride and groom!

My now husband and I got married here, and had the most magical day possible. From our first tour, to planning, to the day-of and the end of the wedding day, we were treated so well and had top notch care. All communication was professional, and we were given so much guidance and help through the wedding process. Wedding preparations can be beyond stressful, but Alex and Vintage Villas helped to alleviate that stress so much, and our perfect day was complete with a beautiful view, constant check ins on the bride & groom, and help with coordinating on the wedding day. I would highly recommend trusting them with your special day if you consider here- you will NOT regret it!

Having our daughter's wedding at Vintage Villas was the best decision! The sales team (Sam) was incredibly attentive, detail oriented, and professional. The rehearsal dinner as well as a farewell brunch were also held on the property, and the entire staff was absolutely amazing! It's a gorgeous venue, and when we ran into some unexpected weather issues, the staff went way above and beyond to make everything work out perfectly for us! We highly recommend Vintage Vilas!

Vintage Villas is a dream wedding venue & exceeded our expectations in every way! The Vintage Villas staff played a pivotal role in our perfect day. From our coordinator, Alex, to the chef and the serving staff- their professionalism, friendliness, and unwavering dedication ensured that every detail was meticulously planned and executed. They went the extra mile to accommodate our needs & made us feel truly special!
The grounds are meticulously maintained, the food was incredible, and being able to stay on-site made the entire experience seamless. If you're looking for a stunning location with impeccable service, Vintage Villas is the place to be. They'll make sure your wedding day is an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. Thank you, Vintage Villas, for making our special day truly exceptional!

Staff at both the reception venue and the lodging villas were exceptional. Our guests were pampered and every need met. The food at both the villa (brunch) and the reception dinner was excellent. Our planner, Sam, was attentive to our every need.
A true fairytale weekend!

Vintage Villas is a gorgeous venue. We loved getting married here in Mid March - the weather was beautiful in March - so we had beautiful spring growth around the venue! Sam - our VV Day of Coordinator - was very helpful and incredibly sweet! The food for the night was amazing! We had the Lakeside menu - and people kept telling us it was some of the best food they had at a wedding before! We also stayed in a villa - the villas were very clean and nice for our bridal party to stay in after the wedding!

Venue is nice but expect the service to be as bad as it can possibly be. Extremely important directions which were given both in writing and verbally multiple times and confirmed again on the wedding day were completely ignored and when asked to fix was told by staff that “they didn’t want to do that” and it would be “inconvenient for them” Venue coordinator was unreachable to help provide a solution and still has not responded days later. Extremely incompetent staff and management. Hotel rooms themselves are old and dingy so if for some reason you do choose to hold your event recommend having a room block at one of the many other nice hotels nearby.

From the moment we first saw Vintage Villas, we knew this was where we would celebrate our love. Having accommodations onsite was one of the biggest selling points for us. The convenience of everything being right on the same property was so helpful for us and for our guests. Megan did an outstanding job being our sales manager. She was so patient and so kind with every question and every request I sent her way in our 2 years of planning. Daya went above and beyond to make sure our guests staying on site were comfortable and had everything they needed during their stay. She even called our family back when she found the blanket my distraught 2 year old nephew left behind. Sam was of day of coordinator and boy did she work hard to ensure everything was perfect for us in the month leading up to our big day and on the day itself. She truly crushed it! Everything about this venue is magical. The food was honestly the best food I’ve ever had at an event. Everything was to die for. We had such a hard time making our selections after our tasting because everything was amazing, so we got it all and it was the best decision. Our guests RAVED over how delicious everything they ate was. Having a buffet style dinner worried me, because I’ve experienced food not being hot by the time the last table is served. This was certainly not the case here. We didn’t realize they packed us to go plates but it was an amazing surprise to find them in the fridge the next day. The bartenders were also spectacular. Honestly the entire team here is amazing. I do have some advice for those considering hiring a day of coordinator through Vintage Villas. The only thing I could say that could have been better was the time the day of coordinator arrives day of. We had a 5:30pm wedding and the coordinator services began at 4pm. Although our plan was well communicated and carried out it was tough for the vendors that started setting up at 11am. The 4pm start time was communicated to me but I truly didn’t realize what this would be like for the vendors setting up. I had communicated everything I was expecting from the various vendors to them and the day of coordinator but without specific instructions there were some hiccups. Thankfully I had a wonderful friend that stepped in and got the job done but it was something I never considered and wished I would have. Honestly this was my mistake, and it truly didn't end up being a big deal. Just make sure everyone is on the same page. Otherwise our wedding was perfect, and we couldn’t have pulled it off without our amazing team at Vintage Villas. We appreciate all your hard work to make sure our day was magical. Thank you endlessly!

I felt I needed to write a review of this business because Vintage Villas did such an outstanding job at my daughter’s wedding, it far exceeded my expectations.
All the food was phenomenal! Many, many guests complemented us on the delicious menu. Reza, the banquet manager, accommodated all our requests.
The event manager, Samantha Overton, did an incredible job.
She was very organized throughout the entire process and made the day run smoothly.
The venue is a beautiful place for a wedding ceremony. You will not regret choosing Vintage Villas for your wedding.

If you want an incredible wedding, Vintage Villas is definitely it. When we interviewed vendors, I asked what venue was breathtaking and Vintage Villas was #1. I truly see why! The views, staff and layout was exceptional. Our sales person - Megan was a standout. She answered all of our questions quickly and honestly. A true professional!

This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding! The ceremony space is gorgeous & overlooks the lake. The reception space is a great layout & perfect for a party. The staff made our day absolutely perfect & were such a pleasure to work with. One of our favorite parts was the food! The on-site catering made it so easy & the food was fantastic! The venue is already so beautiful it didn’t take much to decorate & make it an absolutely beautiful wedding space. The venue also has an on-site hotel which was so nice & convenient for our wedding party & guests. We absolutely love Vintage Villas & would 100% recommend!!

Can't say enough rave reviews about this venue. Everything was perfect about it. The Arbor and Travis Room was the perfect size for a 70 guest wedding. We worked with Samantha Overton and she was stellar at making our event flawless. It was so enjoyable and stress free as they took care of all the details. The view is spectacular and perfect for pictures. Then the food was so good as well. Everyone commented on how this was one of their favorite weddings. BUT...when our cake did not get delivered because of a mix up in dates at our baker, Vintage Villas stepped up and purchased a cake at HEB grocery that was comparable, brought it back and put coordinating flowers on it and we had a perfect cake for photos. This venue took care of us from start to finish and made our wedding absolutely memorable. And, I have to say that the price is right also.

The views are amazing of course, and the food was amazing as well! The venue flows really nicely, and it's a great option to be able to have some guests stay on site. Our wedding party had an entire villa for 2 nights and it was a really fun gathering spot for events prior to the big day. They made a specialty app for us (lobster rolls) that were amazing, and our guests are still talking about how great the food was!

Vintage Villas was everything I dreamed of and more. I got SO many compliments the day of our wedding, and afterwards— the gazebo site is just stunning. So many people were in love with the venue and even a few engaged couples in attendance to our wedding were wanting to have their weddings there! The food was also amazing— the sweet venue manager packed us up leftovers and we loved eating those the next few days. Several guests also told me they missed the food because it was so good and wished they could have it again! The bar staff was so friendly and the drinks were great. The bridal suite is spacious (plenty of room for 8 bridesmaids plus moms and grandmas!) and the onsite hotel made it so easy for our family. My only two complaints were that there isn’t an elevator in the hotel (and 3 flights of steep stairs can be hard for older family members) and that I found out after the fact you can see into the bridal getting ready room at night. Not a big deal usually, but I changed in there into a different dress for the reception and found out after the fact that people outside could see me in there (that is not the case during the day).
Literally everything else was perfection and if I could relive that day every day, I would!

I am so so happy that we discovered Vintage Villas. We searched high and low between 7 states and finally landed here! Immediately, I fell in love with the view, but I quickly learned that this venue was so much more than that. The team is absolutely fantastic. Megan is an absolute boss. She is so thorough, responsive, professional, and supportive. I can’t tell you how many times I went back and forth about things, how many questions I had (some of which had answers already provided to them), and times where I likely wasn’t the easiest to work with. However, not once did Megan make me feel like I was trouble during planning. Day of, she and Alexandria were a dream. We cannot thank them enough. The catering team was fantastic as well. Service was great and everyone raved about the food (both dinner and next day brunch). We got so many “this was the best food/drink I’ve ever had at a wedding” comments. We also booked at the actual Villas for our wedding, and it was the best decision ever. Aaron was especially of great help, coordinating our stay, breakfast, and holding our items in their office. The whole year of planning, he was also very responsive and just so pleasant. We got so many compliments regarding the venue, but if they only knew how amazing everyone behind the scenes was as well! Thank you, everyone at Vintage Villas!

Vintage Villas was the most perfect wedding venue! I had recently moved out of state, but coordinating the wedding with Erika and Samantha from out of town was super easy. They were extremely responsive, budget-friendly, and extremely helpful on the day of the wedding. Our guests loved the venue and the view! Can't recommend them enough!

Vintage villas is the PERFECT venue for a wedding. The view of the lake is amazing and it's one of the few venues that has food and drinks among other items included. Megan was an awesome day of coordinator and also helped me along the way as I planned my wedding. My wedding was simply amazing and just perfect for us.

This venue was perfect for our wedding!! Not only is the ceremony views amazing, the reception area is beautiful as well. Our sales manager, Megan, was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. She never took more than a day to respond even to the smallest questions and really worked with us to make our wedding day special. The food for our wedding was also perfect! No one left hungry for sure!! we also took advantage of the onsite accommodations which was awesome to have our out of town family be close by! Megan helped us even set up a farewell brunch the morning after in our hotel lobby which was such a nice way to say our final goodbyes!! I had no negative experiences with these venue, highly recommend!!

By far, the best decision we made was booking our wedding at Vintage Villas. The venue was gorgeous, the staff was exceptionally helpful, and the food was OUTSTANDING. I can't tell you how many people complimented the food after our wedding! As a COVID bride, Vintage Villas was extremely accommodating, kind, and flexible as we worked towards our wedding day. They were quick to respond to emails and calls. They always made us feel like a priority. Reza and Megan are two staff members who truly stood out and went above and beyond to make our wedding day special.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for this venue, especially Megan Herosian ... and the AMAZING price! In terms of ease, the process was so painless and I loved having the catering and bar in-house. Less to worry about! The food is AMAZING. We chose the lakeside menu with the VV salad, steak, Parm potatoes, and veggie medley. I bet half the guests came up to say it was delicious “not just for wedding food, but overall”! The included cheese display during cocktail hour was beautiful. Everyone’s favorite though? The Mac and cheese bar! SO. GOOD. We chose the house brand bar and didn’t regret it. The set up was easy as they move all the furniture and place all the tableware. We even brought our own napkins and they used them, folding them fancy for us. Megan answered all my questions and was always quick to reply to emails. The venue was beautiful, I have never been to a wedding where so many people took photos of the view! I can’t believe the price is so reasonable. We also loved having family stay on site. The hotel is a bit pricey, but the convenience was wonderful. There are several hotels close by as well, but we actually had enough want to stay to fill a room block! I can’t recommend this place enough. We hope to return for our anniversary!

Our daughter had her wedding at Vintage Villas on May 22, 2021. We had such a wonderful experience! Throughout the entire process, Megan, our coordinator answered every question and made the process easy for us--they accommodated our wishes on layout and so much more!! On the day of the wedding it poured down rain for most of the day! Megan and the staff at VV gave the weather every opportunity to clear so that we could proceed with the wedding happening outdoors at the Gazebo---that included putting the chairs out, then putting them back in, then back out again! We were so blessed! It literally cleared just in time for the ceremony and cocktail hour to be outside! I know many venues that would have forced us to go with Plan B indoors but they did not! Many thanks to Luis and others that used a blower to dry the area and kept the chairs dry for guests!!! So grateful! Megan kept everything flowing perfectly all evening! The food was amazing--received so many compliments. Thanks to Thomas, the GM who made sure our stay was pleasant and helped make arrangements for family staying as well! We LOVED staying on the same grounds as the wedding! It seemed everyone was there to make our daughter's wedding their priority that day and we couldn't have asked for more!!! Such a perfect day!

We were just married at the Vintage Villas last weekend and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went! First, the manager was the best to work with – she was easygoing and professional from the start, and made us and our whole crew feel very welcome. You couldn’t ask for a nicer gal to work with and anyone who has planned a wedding knows you have a LOT of contact with your venue prior to the event. All our expectations were met and then some! The views were breathtaking and cannot say enough good things about the staff.

Wow! What an incredible experience we had with Vintage Villas! We actually needed to plan our wedding in approximately 1 month since the destination wedding in Puerto Rico we planned all year became impossible due to pandemic related restrictions. The people at Vintage Villa's, including Megan our coordinator, were incredibly understanding of the time crunch and made the transition to their venue very easy. On top of that, the place is breathtaking! Both ceremony and reception sites they offer are beautiful. The Arbor and Travis room were perfect for our smaller wedding with an amazing view of Lake Travis in both the ceremony and reception site. On the wedding day, Megan emits a feeling of calmness and is there to help with absolutely anything. While walking towards the aisle, my veil piece popped out of my hair, and she was there to place it in again. During the ceremony, a blackberry fell on my dress and before it could stain, she was there with a wet napkin and helped get the fruit juce off of it. Also the catering they offer there is DELICIOUS!! We received compliments from all our guests on the food. Thank you Vintage Villa's for a perfect wedding!

I love Vintage Villas! I fell in love with the venue and the breath taking views! We got married Sunday July 12th, 2020 in the morning. Erika Tucker helped us plan everything and was very responsive and knowledgeable. Everyone was very nice accommodating. The staff is very nice and just really an amazing experience! Carlos was also very nice. He brought me coffee to my suite while my girls and I got ready. He kept checking on us to make sure we were good! Highly recommend!

We found Vintage Villas and immediately fell in love when we visited. We worked with Katie and she was absolutely wonderful. She was flexible, knowledgable, and communicated with us so well. We got married over a year ago and this venue is worth coming back for the review. We got married MDW 2019 and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and professional (but flexible) venue. We also utilized the villa and stayed the night before as well as hosted an after party. Great option for our wedding party. Nothing but positive things to say about this venue and staff!

Having our wedding here was the best decision! I was a very easy going bride and the fact that this venue had location, reception, tables, chairs, linens, food and everything else all included made it that more enticing. The gazebo overlooks the lake which is amazing! Unfortunately our guests were facing the sun so you might consider having guests wear sunglasses, but it made for amazing photos! I loved how close everything was so it felt more intimate. The food guys, was AMAZING. I went to a tasting and I was like okay this is okay but the day of the wedding we decided on the prime rib and it was so good, with mashed potatoes. No regrets! Honestly the venue itself and the food had people talking about our wedding up until now and that was almost 5 months ago. Great venue, staff, feel, food, vibe loved it all! My only bit of advice is if you go with a wedding planner onsite get a feel for the different personalities and pick one that really suits you. Oh, and my husband and I were not told that the hotel closes at a certain point and you need a code to get back into your room in the wee hours of the night (we went out to celebrate afterwards) so make sure you get that code because we were locked out for a little while. So many people I've showed our venue to and they've never even heard of it, they were shocked it was in Lakeway! Absolutely love this place and can't wait to go back to celebrate anniversaries.

Our wedding at Vintage Villas was absolutely perfect!!! Megan, our sales manager, was so easy to work with. We had soooo many changes to our contract, and Megan was so patient with it all! Everyone was quick to respond to emails and questions, most responses within the same day or the next day. We had our wedding on the gazebo, the larger of the two venues. It overlooks Lake Travis, with a stunning backdrop around sunset. The gazebo is so perfectly decorated, we only used some lanterns to line the aisles. The reception hall was perfect as well. The venue has tables, linens, and centerpieces you can use, so we only needed to get flowers and a few candles, and it was beautiful! We were on a bit of a budget and were skeptical of the in-house catering and bar, but after comparing other (not as stunning) venues, it turned out to be around the same price. There were several options for the menu, and the Parmesan chicken that we chose was to die for! The catering staff and bartender were so friendly and attentive as well, ensuring the buffet was always stocked with fresh food, and cleaning the tables often. The hotel rooms were great as well. Many rooms, including the honeymoon suite, came with a jetted tub! perfect way to end our wedding night! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

Vintage Villas went above and beyond to make our wedding relaxed and beautiful and wonderful. The food is amazing - they even did swaps of items on our menu they did not have to do just because - and their service is top notch. I don't think more than 24 hours ever went by before I got an email back whenever I had a question and they were extremely patient with me. I cannot recommend them enough; it was seriously the best I could ask for.

The gazebo and event center was spectacular , the food was delicious, the staff were wonderful.
We did not hire a wedding plannner but we hired VV event coordinator Erika Tucker she is the best! She helped us in choosing the appetizers, menu, & drinks. She is experienced, organized, and very passionate on what she does. Vintage villas is an incredible wedding venue.

We absolutely loved Vintage Villas and are so happy we had our beautiful wedding there! We worked with Erika and from the start she was so helpful and attentive to all our needs. She was always quick to respond to all our questions and always made us feel comfortable that everything would go perfectly for our wedding and it did! The ceremony area is truly breathtaking and the ballroom is just as beautiful. All the staff was so sweet and helpful and everything day of the wedding was organized and went perfect! We had many out of town guests and everyone was able to stay at the beautiful villas which was so convenient. All of our guests raved about the stunning views, delicious food, and friendly staff. We are so happy that we chose Vintage Villas and were able to work with Erika to have one of the best and most memorable days of our lives and would do it again if we could! I highly recommend this beautiful venue to anyone planning an event!

Vintage Villas was the PERFECT wedding and reception location!! The venue is beautiful and well-kept, the staff is kind and friendly, and the atmosphere the team creates is pure joy! Rooms were spacious and comfortable, every part of the grounds hosts a gorgeous view, and since Vintage Villas also operates as a boutique hotel, my husband and I look forward to spending anniversary trips here!
To break it all down:
Location – Being married at a gorgeous overlook of the lake is unforgettable! Not only was our ceremony at the gazebo beautiful, the following photos (including sunset pictures!) are our absolute favorites.
Reception – The event center was the perfect size for our large guest count to move and groove freely, decorations were easy (you honestly don’t need much decoration when there are massive windows overlooking a lake sunset!), and the staff could not have been more helpful and wonderful! AND THE FOOD! The food made here is incredible. I can’t tell you all how many people have raved about the mashed potato bar alone! As a wonderful addition, the staff made sure my husband and I each had a plate delivered to our suite that night with a bit of each dish, a slice of our cake, and a bottle of champagne. So sweet!
Accommodations – We had a large wedding with a lot of guests who traveled to Austin from out of state. Vintage Villas helped us block out two villas for family and friends, assisted us with planning for tea/extra meals for them in various, gorgeous locations on property, and I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things from each guest about the rooms and view! The suite my husband and I stayed in was incredible – it almost felt like it’s own apartment!
Coordination – You MUST hire Katie Brinkman as your wedding coordinator. Not only did she perfectly manage the most stressful aspects of planning with us, she had an answer for each of our questions, was comforting and reassuring when things seemed hectic, and ensured that our wedding and reception ran exactly according to schedule. She is an incredible coordinator and a beautiful person!
BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE AND HIRE KATIE AS YOUR COORDINATOR. YOU WON’T REGRET IT!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience utilizing Vintage Villas as our venue for our recent wedding. Of the many things the Villas has going for it, I’d like to highlight the following:
-The view is absolutely extraordinary. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding and an indoor reception this is the place to do it. Even the reception area had huge windows overlooking the lake.
-The food was delicious. We had the brunch options and were floored. Our tasting was less than spectacular, so I was admittedly somewhat nervous, but it was all great and our guests seemed to really enjoy it. The blueberry stuffed French toast is pure magic.
-The waitstaff was absolutely incredible. We went with the buffet option and were not expecting to be waited on but they brought us our meals. This is not a venue where the bride and groom go without eating! Further, they packed up some leftovers and a bottle of champagne for us and put it in the room for the night.
-The complementary hotel room for the night was excellent. It is a super nice hotel. We had a great view and really enjoyed our stay.
-Erika Tucker was our sales manager and she really worked with us to build the wedding we wanted. We had a smaller group (~20 people) and a small budget. She was so accommodating and I am so happy with the way everything turned out.
Overall, whether you are planning a small wedding or a large one, I think Vintage Villas is an excellent option.

We booked Vintage Villas as our ceremony, reception and hotel room block site, and we think it is a great experience. We loved waterfront setting for our wedding, and that's how we come across the idea of Lake Travis. We visited VV in April and it is gorgeous. However, our wedding is in September, so the grass is a little bit yellow for some portion of the lawn, but at least the ceremony lawn is all green. We only booked the gazebo but Katie is kind enough to let us use the smaller ceremony site for our first look. That definitely made great photos!
We also loved the food there. We participated in tasting once and then we go ahead with the menu. From what I heard from the guests, they all love the food. The services there is also impeccable. When Groom and me got into our suite late and exhausted that night, we found them packed some food for us. That made us like them even more.

I cannot say enough good things about Vintage Villas and our coordinator, Katie. She constantly went above and beyond to help us out as we worked through the hurdles of planning the big day, and helped it go on without a hitch. She navigated the direction of everyone expertly day of, was the right amount of forceful to ensure everyone/everything was in the right place, while also not offending anyone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get married at Vintage Villas.
The venue enough I can't say enough about, the simple, but elegant decor combined with the big beautiful Texas sky, and Lake Travis stretched out before us made our wedding the most picturesque I've been too, though I am somewhat biased...
All in all, if you want to get married near Austin, it would be extremely harder to do any better than Vintage Villas!

Vintage Villas staff is impeccable!! I can’t put into words how awesome each person was in making mine and my husbands wedding a dream comes true. Thank you to our coordinator, Erika, for being the absolute best at her job! You will regret NOT choosing this venue for your wedding.

You’ll completely fall in love with Vintage Villas! The view is breathtaking and the gazebo just adds that extra touch of romantic. My husband and I had simple wedding and the event center being so gorgeous, we were able to keep our decorations affordable. We highly recommend working with Erika! She’ll quickly respond to you and help you so your day is the most special day. The convenience of the hotel is also very nice. The food and service from all the staff is to die for! Perfect for the couple who loves a vintage, romantic feel and wants an either small or large wedding.

5 stars is not even enough to describe how wonderful our experience at vintage villas was! Vintage Villas was the first venue we visited and after our visit we already knew it was exactly everything we wanted. Everything went perfectly, from the planning, to the end. The entire staff was so helpful through the whole process and was so responsive to every question and need I had. The day of the wedding went flawlessly and everyone that had a part in that day did amazing. The serve staff and bartenders were incredible and the food was far better than expected; guests are still raving about it! Our wedding party all stayed on site in the villas, which was so convenient the whole weekend. When my husband and I returned to our suite at the end of the night, the staff had already supplied us with leftovers and extra cake. They really were so thoughtful down to the last detail. Also, you will fall in love with the bridal suite! We all had so much fun getting ready with a great view. Look no further if you’re wanting the day of your dreams!

Joe and I had a very small personal ceremony and reception with Vintage Villas. We housed our guests here as well. Katie B was our onsite organizer. She was punctual and easy to work with. She happily answered all of our questions and gave suggestions where we needed them.
We rented a villa for our guests which everyone found charming and comfortable. One of the best things about renting a villa was we had a common area for our guests after hours where we stayed up all night and enjoyed each other’s company stress free because we were only annoying our own people in the villa.
Uber and local food delivery services were very present by the villa which was so nice!
My bridal suite was honestly adorable. My girls and I spend a wonderful afternoon getting ready with champagne, mimosas, coffee and water. The staff was so sweet and accommodating to anything we needed. All of their employees are so kind.
As far as the ceremony and reception set up goes they made sure everything was ready for our vendors early and there was no stress.
Vintage villas catering is totally amazing. Everyone was blown away by the food set up and taste. Our servers were wonderful and the bartender was so nice!
When all was said and done Joe and I feel like not a penny was wasted. Vintage Villas charge a very fair price for a very enjoyable experience.
We’d do it all over again and highly recommend working with Katie and Vintage Villas!

Tara and the entire staff at Vintage Villas blew me away! They did an amazing job, better than we had hoped for! An absolutely stunning venue, and the food was delicious! They were very prompt at returning emails, calls, etc; and she took amazing notes throughout the process, so the day of they really did not need much direction (you will appreciate this on your big day!) Already missing this gorgeous place <3

OUR WEDDING HERE WAS INCREDIBLE!
I can't even being to describe how beautiful and amazing our wedding was. Katie helped us with everything and was spectacular! We barely needed any decor, as the venue was already breath taking. Katie answered my emails and questions so quickly! Our guests could not stop complimenting the food, venue, and staff! The staff setup everything, cleaned the entire time (even the bathrooms!), and helped whenever we needed it. Our bartender was so much fun and made so many different drinks. The staff at Vintage Villas literally went above and beyond to make our special day gorgeous and incredibly smooth. We didn't have to worry about a thing. I HIGHLY recommend Vintage Villas for your wedding. The ceremony areas are breath taking with the lake in the background, the reception areas are gorgeous, and the hotel was stunning and so clean! We rented out a entire villa, which was the best decision! Seeing all the family before and after the wedding was the best.
To top all this off, the price was INCREDIBLY reasonable! We were able to afford this all on our own between my husband and I. If you are struggling between venues, I highly recommend choosing Vintage Villas. Just go check it out in person and you will see why! Thank you so much to everyone at Vintage Villas for making our day better than we ever expected! I wish we could do it all over again!

I must have looked at a hundred venues, but couldn't get my mind off of Vintage Villas. I had been to a wedding here before, but it was eleven years ago. They've updated a lot since then and I knew when we toured it that it would be the venue for us. The view will take your breath away. It is the perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding. We didn't really add any ceremony decor, because it was so unnecessary. They were extremely easy to work with throughout the planning process and always eager to answer any questions that we had. Everything was arranged exactly the way that we wanted and we didn't have any issues. We did the BBQ buffet and everyone loved it. They raved about how great the food was and how beautiful the venue was. Vintage Villas helped make our wedding day perfect. We couldn't have chosen a better venue. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. It was exactly what I hoped for. We'll always be happy that we got to start our lives together at Vintage Villas.

Getting married at Vintage Villas was by far the easiest and BEST decision we have ever made second to marrying each other! #BecomingtheBargsleys <3
From the beauty of the venue and its lake views, to the delicious dishes served up by Chef – words cannot express how grateful we are to have been married at this wonderful paradise. It was an absolute dream and privilege, and if we could relive that day all over again– we would in a heartbeat!
Our guests still rave about the beauty of the outdoor ceremony area, reception hall and the incredible lake views with Fourth of July fireworks in the distance. They also won’t stop texting me to ask Chef for the Chicken Piccata and Penne Alla vodka recipes!
I also want to comment on the amazing service staff! I noticed how they checked in on all our guests to insure they were comfortable, had beverages and if they needed anything... Talk about going above and beyond! CJ the bartender also made the night even more special by taking bartending to a whole new universe! His magical skills enchanted everyone he served!
This review is also to thank the biggest ‘WOW Factor’ of all and that is our wonderful coordinator Tara Weghorst. She is and was an angel throughout the entire process. Her patience and preparedness helped keep us at ease all the way through. She helped guide us during the planning process, was very prompt with responses to any questions we had, and worked so so hard on the day of, she truly hosted the event. I mean WOW, she is incredible!!! Again, thank you so much!!!!

My husband and I highly recommend Vintage Villas and Katie Brinkman! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Katie made the planning process seem effortless. Vintage Villas offers a variety of packages and options (far more than other venues we looked at). Katie guided us along the way and provided us with a list of vendors (all of which were awesome!). The views are STUNNING, the food was delicious, and we can't speak highly enough of Katie and all of the staff who helped make our special day everything we had hoped for and more!

A SLICE OF ITALY IN TEXAS! My husband and I went abroad for school in Italy, so we wanted our wedding to resemble those precious moments! This place is literally picture perfect and was better than we could have ever imagined! We had our wedding in June 2019 and the weather was actually perfect! The staff was so professional and knew how to execute our vision! The chef did a PHENOMENAL job! He allows you to really customize your menu if you want to get exactly what you want! The venue has a huge bridal suite to get ready, even a makeup station along the wall! My husband and I can’t wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary here!

Wow, if you have any question about whether or not to book Vintage Villas for your wedding, do yourself a favor and BOOK THEM. My husband and I thought that the pricing was outstanding considering the beautiful view of Lake Travis that the venue offers. Katie was extremely helpful during the sales process and was able to answer all of our questions that came up. The food we had at the reception wowed every single one of our guests. By far the most valuable aspect of Vintage Villas is the onsite hotel. With most of our guests traveling from out of town, being able to stay onsite with everyone really made the entire weekend something special.

Absolutely beautiful venue! Everything came together so smoothly. Meghan was our sales and wedding coordinator and she was great to work with. We were planning all the way from South Dakota so we weren’t able to meet to do tastings and all that. But she was extremely responsive and walked us through anything we had doubts about. The minimum for a weekend is a bit steep, especially if a lot less people show up then expected. Meghan helped us with some creative ideas on how to get to the minimum which was helpful. The only thing I will say, is have a plan for clean up. They are not joking about everything being out at the end, And cleaning up fast. Overall, it was a stunning wedding and we had an amazing time, and it was everything I could’ve asked for. Thank you!

Wedding is All about details and they are not good at it.
Our wedding was on June 1st, 2019.
In summary, If you want control of your event, turn around. This venue is not for you.
If you plan to hire a wedding planner for all the details, then I guess that doesn't matter, because the planner will take care of it for you.
If you don't demand much and all you want is the view and no high expectations, you are fine here.
You should also know that the ratings on the knot are very well controlled. I wrote a review before the wedding to provide my planning experience with VV only to realize that it's been removed.
I can confirm that the food and the view at Vintage Villas are spectacular. But for that price, you can customize whatever menu you want at just about any place. It is a very photogenic place especially if you are blessed with the weather. The service people were extremely good and I loved how they handled our guests. We thanked them personally after the reception for such a smooth service.
However, Vintage Villas has some serious issues with incompetence in managing event. Honestly, I don't know how they survive in the wedding industry given how unorganized they are. Here are some points to address before the wedding:
- We never received the finalized planning form before the wedding, or on the wedding or after the wedding.
- We arrived to find a broken sound system.
- No information was provided for rehearsal. And when we arrived at the venue for the first time for rehearsal, we were told that we have two complimentary nights... We were never informed. This could have saved us a lot of time but whatever.
- Our sales manager, Katie, was absent during the week we were staying in town. We never met her.
Now for the on-site wedding:
- There is no changing room other than your hotel room and it is inconvenient. First look or bridal shots are impossible due to this factor.
- Our coordinator, Erika, was okay. But she totally disappeared for recessional so after our send off, things were a little awkward and we were totally baffled.
- Talking to Katie through emails, though she is very responsive, is like talking to a wall. Quantity is never better than quality. We had so much trouble understanding her throughout the planning, I always had to ask in many different ways to really understand what she meant. This behavior indicated there will be lots of missing details and there were. It was so stressful.
- They did a great job on our customized menu, and food was excellent, but as usual, they missed some details such as using specific food ingredients, and we were not happy about it.
Overall, things went smoothly. But Would I pick Vintage Villas had I known all these details I wrote above? Nope. My instinct to walk away in the middle of planning was right. That I did not take the action is my only regret. There are so many things that can go wrong in a wedding. Planning one of the most important events in life is already a big deal but if this can be less stressful, that'd be a blessing. Anyhow, it's all done. I hope my two cents can help some people out there.

Thank you for your review!
Our apologies for not directing you to get a wedding planner f...
or your needs - especially seeing you had never visited the property until the weekend of your event. Our coordination services are just that - coordination the weekend of the event - not wedding planning. Your wedding event was very unique and we're glad that you enjoyed our food and view - just like so many brides before you.
Many emails were sent to you prior about the gift of the suite for two nights - all of which went without reply BUT the Groom did finally confirm the use of the room and thanked Katie the week of the wedding.
In regards to a review you left prior to the wedding event - The Knot manages what is deleted and has strict stipulations on reviews. If a review does not adhere to their rules it is taken down by them.
Erika enjoyed working with you when Katie was out of town on a personal matter.
Our best to you both in the future!
