Finding the perfect venue for any wedding takes an inordinate amount of time and energy. Especially when it comes to spring, you want to maximize your time outdoors in an area worthy of a romantic ceremony. If you live in Austin or plan on hosting a destination ceremony in the area, we’ve put together a list of the best Austin elopement venues for the outdoors. These gorgeous settings combine the wide-open spaces of Texan gardens with intimate wedding ceremonies. And all of them are available through Pop the Knot! To get some elopement inspiration for where to elope in Austin try these top five garden venues first.
The Secret Courtyard: For Rustic Outdoor Venue Vibes
If you enjoy the rural classics of the outdoors, this first pop-up venue is the one for you. The Secret Courtyard offers a unique look and feels to any outdoor ceremony. Complete with wood furnishings and buildings, as well as incredible cactus plants, the venue provides a distinctive feeling of the rustic Texas-style.
The location hosts up to 25 guests, with seating available for up to 10 people. It also comes with a large cheese and charcuterie board to serve guests and sparkling wine options with which to wash it all down.
The Charming Garden: For Stunning Flowers and Topiaries
The best part about a spring wedding is getting to enjoy all the flowers. The Charming Garden location in Austin offers a gorgeous spring setting with tailored hedges and a quintessential cottage in the background. There are several outdoor areas on the property that make the area a wealth for photo opportunities. Yet, the most prominent feature, and the most beloved, seems to be the beautiful gazebo set amidst expertly manicured columnar trees. Upgrades for these elopement packages include a rose petal aisle and even a stay in the bridal suite.
The Central Austin: For Gorgeous Backdrops and Floral Arches
There’s nothing quite like nature to symbolize the testament of new beginnings. And there’s no better symbol for families or withstanding the test of time as trees. One of the most stunning Austin elopement venues is The Central Austin.
Not only does it boast a ceremony beneath the winding branches of massive oak trees, but it also comes with a round floral arch. This gorgeous addition makes for striking photographs and uniquely encircles the couple in imagery that reflects their unity. Indoor seating is also available for guests. They may also incorporate other pop-up wedding add-ons to further enhance the ceremony.
The Museum Garden: For Enchanted Fairytale Garden Vibes
Tiny weddings continue to take the population by storm. It’s much more cost-efficient than a larger wedding with people you barely know and allows the couples to prioritize their money for other things, like saving for a home or a honeymoon. While all these venues make the ideal setting for Austin microweddings, the Museum Garden offers the most private of ceremonies.
Hosting up to 13 guests, this standing-room-only venue is a dream for couples looking to host a private minimony for a select few. The enchanted forest feeling allows for relaxed bridal fashion and makes the couple feel as though they’ve been transported to a fairytale garden. This setting is perfect for informal options and intimate weddings.
The Waterfall: For Charming Austin Elopement Venues
Another epic elopement locale you’ll find in our pop-up wedding packages is the Waterfall. This quaint little spot comes with plenty of picture-perfect opportunities that you and your guests will love. Not only is it located in an area with spectacular vistas of the rural forest, the center point for the ceremony is also something to behold.
Set against a lovely collection of stones and trees, it’s the perfect arena for outdoor lovers. Like many of the venues, it offers seating for up to 25 guests and includes cushioned chairs for a comfortable ceremony.
