I just attended a wedding here, and - from the wedding attendee side - it was really lovely. Our friends had a beautiful outdoor ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour (complete with miniature donkeys from the property), indoor dinning and dancing, and outdoor fireworks! The venue had ample room for all guests as well as for each part of the wedding to have its own dedicated space (no moving chairs). It is close enough to Austin to be convenient for guests to attend without spending the night, but still feels like you're out in the Hill Country with beautiful scenery. As only a guest, I obviously don't know what they were like to work with or the price point you could expect to pay for the venue. But it was a really lovely venue - worth reaching out to if to find out more if you're looking for a venue for a wedding or event soon.

My cousin had his wedding here. The place was amazingly beautiful both during the day and at night. He was married under white curtains by trees and then had his inside reception just a few steps away. During the night they had lights that lite up the area outside with a romantic atmosphere.During the cocktail hour, they had a delicious queso bar which I ate a little too much of before the dinner. They also had 2 donkeys walking around with satchel coolers with beer in them. They were a unique touch, and the beer was cold.For the dinner I had the Green Chile Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken. I loved every bite and was disappointed that it wasn't a place where I could take home leftovers. Definitely order this if on your menu!The bathroom has a barn like setting with bar doors on the stalls.An added bonus was they had a golf cart that they used to move our 93yr old grandma so she didn't have to walk the whole property before the wedding and reception. It wasn't far for most people, but for her it helped keep her strength up, so when she walked down the aisle and at reception she was good.Everything was perfect and the perfect place for a wedding.

PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME AND MONEY SOME WHERE ELSE. DON'T CANCEL ON THEM EITHER. They don't understand when emergency comes up. Apparently this venue is family owned and ran business. I sent three email the night before I was supposed to meet with Judy at the venue 1 asking about a date - 2 confirm time - 3 what the Percentage of the deposit was. This morning when I woke up I receive the most ugliest email I've EVER RECEIVE in my whole life. "Tell her no tour are available she is rude" not to mention I have NEVER tour this place only exchange about 10 email give or take. Had a 5 minute conversation on the phone with someone. I've never meet anyone from this venue in person and now I'm glad I haven't they will slander your name which is illegal. Always check google review there serval bad reviews here. This place is unprofessional and most definitely rude

Austin's gorgeous Ranch style wedding & event venue is Pecan Springs Ranch. As a wedding photographer who has photographed at this venue numerous times I was drawn to the gorgeous sunsets and beautiful backdrops this venue has to offer. They have three or four locations for the ceremony with the most popular one being at the fireplace, make sure your ceremony time is perfect for lighting though. There are so many locations for portraits at this venue. The LOVE sign is amazing for guests to pose in front of and the bridal cottage is relaxing for family and bridesmaids. The event space itself is open and the windows looking out over the property at night are spectacular as lights illuminate the landscape. They even have beer burros for cocktail hour. Guests LOVE these. I don't think I have ever seen this venue not have green grass. This is a family run business that takes pride in being able to provide couples with their dream venue! Highly recommend!

Called about having a quinceanera and she said, let me stop you there, we do not allow these types of parties. Apparently they allowed 2 other parties like this and they destroyed the venue. We would be 90% adult and 10% kids. Unbelievable and discrimination at its finest. Not everyone is the same.

I loved this venue and the team that works there. Many options for an outdoor ceremony but also an outdoor covered area for backup and a great indoor hall/ballroom. I think my favorite part was the cottage for the bride and her crew to get ready! This is my dream venue, but since marriage is about compromise and my fiancé wanted things a little closer to downtown, we went with a different one. I believe anyone getting married here would be very happy

Pecan Springs Ranch was the most beautiful venue. Judy and Kerbey were so great to work with ever since we booked it a year and a half ago. They were responsive to emails, answered questions, helped us with set up ideas on the day of. We used a lot of their preferred vendors who were all amazing. There are so many adorable spots to take pictures on the property. Everything was perfect on our wedding day and we can't thank them enough.

My daughter's wedding was held her on April 19. It was beautiful! The drive to the venue is lined with beautiful hill country homes. The grass was perfectly trimmed, and beautiful indigenous flowers bloomed everywhere. No need to spend a lot of money on flowers. The little cottage was a perfect place for the bridal party to get ready. The venue was large enough for the 170 guests to be seated at tables and have enough room for a dance floor. The huge beams are gorgeous.The wedding was under a big oak tree and everything was shaded by 4:00 pm. I was at peace knowing if it rained that we could move to either the pavilion or the large reception building. I love Pecan Springs Ranch. Thank you so much for your wonderful service!

I cannot say enough about how amazing our experience working with Pecan Springs Ranch was. The venue is gorgeous and offers so many different locations to have pictures taken throughout the night to give you tons of variety. They had multiple ceremony site locations and when we wanted to do something a little different they were happy to work with us and get everything just right. The grounds are immaculately kept and everything was in bloom for our April wedding, adding even more color. They were prompt with communication and very straight forward on the terms of the contract. Their preferred vendor list helped us to find many of the vendors we ended up working with which was super helpful as well. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue if you are hoping to have an outdoor ceremony with a beautiful indoor reception space. The bridal cottage was also the perfect place to get ready making wedding day even easier as we were already on location for hair & make-up!!
