Texas Old Town

June 3, 2009

Courtney and SteveCourtney and Steve immediately after their engagement in North Carolina.

My friends Courtney and Steve (see their love story in the gallery) are getting married on November 1 of this year just outside of Austin at a place called Texas Old Town. One thing I love most about Austin is the availability of beautiful outdoor venues. If you do not wish to have a traditional church wedding, there are so many options for you.

I talked with Courtney this week and here is what she said about why she chose this particular venue:

We chose this venue mostly because of its versatility. You are pretty much allowed to do whatever you like. Since Steve and I really wanted fireworks, smores and unique decorations, we were looking for a place that would be willing to let us do that. The owner of the place is so nice! You get the venue from 8am to midnight and don’t have to worry about any clean up fees or deposits. Since we are working on a tight budget and will be doing most planning ourselves, it was important to us to have access to the venue for as much time as we needed. Also, Steve and I really didn’t want to do a traditional church wedding. We got engaged in the mountains of North Carolina, so we wanted some of that to carry over into our wedding. Therefore, the rustic nature of this venue was perfect! We absolutely can’t wait for our wedding day.”

I can not wait to celebrate with Courtney and Steve!

I have been busy preparing for the upcoming Wedding Guide bridal extravaganza. It is taking place on June 21st at the Palmer Events center. If you haven’t booked all of your vendors, it is a great resource! There will be over 200 professionals there from every part of the wedding industry.
