One of the most important aspects when planning a civil union, commitment ceremony or wedding is that of choosing a venue. Another factor that is important to most is that of cost. Unfortunately, while there are free and low cost options, the most popular are often more expensive when it comes to wedding venues Austin TX.

Cost and location are often the two most important factors when booking a wedding venue. Couples need first consider these when researching different venues. In most cases, bookings can be made within nine months to a year in advance. While it is always important to book well in advance, those participating in a lottery need do so according to venue guidelines.

Depending on the health and well being of guests, it is also important to consider food, location and transportation. For, while Austin, Texas has a good transit system, not all lines operate on weekends. As such, if planning an event on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, it may be necessary to provide other alternatives when it comes to transportation.

One of the most expensive, and notable venues is that of the Driskill hotel. The Driskill is one of the oldest operating hotels in Austin. Located right in the middle of the entertainment district, it is also one of the most popular and preferred. In addition, there are a number of horse and carriage operators which reside just outside the hotel doors on most evenings and weekends throughout the year.

Churches, synagogues and temples on the other hand have been known to offer free options for members. Although, most often the minister or rabbi in charge will request a meeting with the couple before providing services. Whether or not a space is free, it is always customary to provide a nominal donation for ministerial services following the ceremony.

If no reservation has been made for the location six months in advance, booking can generally take place on a shorter term notice. However, as the city is growing rapidly with more than 150 people moving to Austin on any given day, it can often be hard to reserve any venue with such short notice.

Regardless of location, a deposit is most likely going to be required at the time of booking. Whether a bar, church, park, synagogue or temple, there are often a number of events which can have these spaces booked well in advance. In some cases, there are locations like bars and restaurants which might offer a small garden space along with other needs like catering or receptions.

In locating the perfect venue, couples get a head start on a happy life. As it can often be difficult to obtain a venue for a specific date, couples may want to remain flexible while also waiting to send out invitations until a booking is confirmed. Then, once a location is set, it is time to start planning all the other fun aspects such as catering, flowers, photography and others.
