According to U.S. News & World, Austin is on the map as one of the top cities in the world and for a good reasons. From the beautiful scenery and the quirky population, it’s not hard to imagine why people move to this city. Austin is a great destination wedding spot for those who want a unique wedding experience.
Not only are destination weddings typically cheaper, but there’s a greater chance of a smaller wedding. You don’t have to pay for 200+ friends and family you’re not too familiar with. Obligation only extends to the bridal party and your closest family members.
When you book in a state like Texas, you’re not only saving money, but you get to have a unique experience that none of your friends will have for their wedding. Spend your money on a night you’ll never forget, surrounded by Texas hill country.
So, what should you consider for your Texas destination wedding?

Schedule Your Wedding Tour Ahead of Time
If you’re not from the Austin area, it will take time to visit venues and ensure you get the best fit for your destination wedding. There are so many venues to choose from in the area.
A wedding planner by your side will help you not only narrow down the selection to tour but give the best insight into an area you are not familiar with. Once you decide, book your wedding date and get started on familiarizing yourself with vendors.
