Hi! I’m Margaret, the Director of Events at Wanderlust Wine Company. I have over a decade of experience in the wedding and special events world by way of Charleston, South Carolina to Austin, Texas. Chances are, there isn’t an event-day hiccup I haven’t seen—and solved. From supporting couples and their families to collaborating seamlessly with vendors, I’m all about creating an unforgettable, stress-free experience for everyone involved. When I’m not producing events, I’m hanging out with my two huskies, Cru + Ella (yep, together they’re CruElla), cooking my way through Trader Joe’s ‘5 Ingredients or Less’ cookbook, or catching live music around Austin.

From the moment we stepped into the space, we knew it was something special—bright, funky, and full of personality. It’s such a gem in the heart of Austin, and so easy for all of our guests to get to, which made everything that much smoother. Seriously, guests could not stop raving about how cool the space was. It was always amazing that the venue is inside so we didn't have to have a plan B incase Austin weather didn't cooperate.
What truly set Wanderlust apart, though, was the incredible support we got from their master of events, Margaret. She was amazing to work with—responsive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She gave us fantastic recommendations for vendors that aligned with our style and made the whole planning process feel so much less overwhelming.
Our wedding day was absolutely magical, and so much of that is thanks to the beautiful space and Margaret’s guidance behind the scenes. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate, and we’re forever grateful to Wanderlust Wine for making our day so memorable.
Highly, highly recommend!

I had so much fun attending a wedding at Wanderlust Wine Co.- Shady Lane location, a bright, vibrant, and eccentric location for any fun Bride and Groom to share their special day at. The bold colors, art and disco ball dance floor along with the wine on tap provided for the MOST FUN evening with friends and family. I highly recommend booking this venue for your wedding in Austin, TX!

Wanderlust's Shady Lane location is the perfect venue for a wedding and reception - (or one big party!) Austin's "one stop shop!" Its spacious floorplan is perfect for a large wedding! The ceremony in one area with the reception ready for your guests just steps away - so very flexible.
The disco balls are a must see and will add to any theme! They provide EVERYTHING.... tables, chairs, stage, audio, bar and bartenders! The wall of wine taps is so unique!
Plenty of room for plenty of fun and it's so close to downtown Austin! You will be very pleased to have the folks at Wanderlust make your big event very special!

If you’re looking for a unique, FUN wedding venue that’s different from a traditional event space, look no further than Wanderlust Wine Co. on Austin’s east side.
I recently attended a wedding there and the floor-to-ceiling murals created a stunning backdrop for the ceremony and reception, not to mention the funky disco ball installation was the perfect touch above the dance floor. It’s a very large space with room for the ceremony on one side, and reception on the other (a wall divides the two spaces so it really feels like separate areas). This venue is ideal if you have a high guest count, and lends itself to flexible floor plans and seating arrangements. The space is equipped with tables, chairs, soft seating, a stage, A/V, bar, glassware and bartenders—all included with the venue.
Their vast selection of wines on tap was a cool guest experience—no waiting in bar lines!! However, liquor bars were present at this wedding—they also had food stations with a mix of cocktail tables and three large tables for a seated dinner. They’re flexible and can cater to your event’s needs.
This venue is one-of-a-kind—highly recommend anyone looking for a unique, eccentric space for a wedding to book Wanderlust!

This space made for the most ICONIC wedding. If maximalist is on your Pinterest mood board this space is for you. The bright colors and the luxe details like vintage styled chandeliers and furniture made this wedding unique. We loved having the option to order liquor based drinks from their friendly bar team or have full access to their wine wall that let you choose from a plethora of high quality wines that you got to pour yourself! This made for both an interactive experience for guests and cut back significantly on bar wait times for people who just wanted to snag a glass. From the stunning ceremony to dancing the night away under a sea of disco balls this venue gave us an evening we will never forget!

After recently attending a wedding ceremony with dinner and dancing following at Wanderlust Wine Co.'s Eastside location, other venues pale in comparison to this fun, eclectic venue! The vibrant atmosphere with sparkly disco balls on the dance floor and wine on tap from all over the world had all of the guest buzzing about the incredible celebration. It was a night to remember and reflective of the vibrant, fun-loving couple. Another plus is it's close to downtown, so out of town guests have plenty of lodging options. I highly recommend Wanderlust Wine Co. for any celebration!
