Luxury Wedding Venues in Austin, TX

— and the Perfect Dress to Match

Austin, Texas is more than just music and food — it’s a destination for luxury weddings with unforgettable charm. From historic hotels to modern estates and Provence-inspired châteaus, the wedding venues in Austin offer a wide range of aesthetics for every couple’s dream day.

But once you’ve locked in your venue, the next question becomes:
What will you wear down the aisle?

We’ve selected three of our favorite luxury wedding venues in Austin and matched each with the perfect designer wedding gown that complements the space, vibe, and overall wedding aesthetic.


The Grand Lady – Old Money Elegance Meets Modern Flexibility

Location: Manor, TX (Just outside Austin)
Vibe: Timeless, Inclusive, Elegant

If you’re dreaming of a wedding venue that feels like your own private estate, The Grand Lady delivers. This 3,400-square-foot mansion is a modern classic, with eight rooms perfect for pre-ceremony brunches, glam squads, and photo ops.

You’ll love:

  • Multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremony and reception
  • A neutral, customizable aesthetic to fit your vision
  • Full-day exclusive access
  • A deeply inclusive and welcoming philosophy

This space is perfect for couples who value elegance, flexibility, and a warm, “you-do-you” attitude.

Dress Match: The Bessette by J. Andreatta

We pair The Grand Lady with the stunning Bessette gown by J. Andreatta — an ode to old money sophistication with a modern twist. Think: high fashion meets heritage.

  • Timeless tailoring
  • Feminine edge with couture craftsmanship
  • Understated glamour, just like the venue

The Driskill

Location: Downtown Austin
Vibe: Historic, Grand, Chic

As the oldest operating hotel in Austin, The Driskill is a symbol of old-world luxury. Nestled on the iconic 6th Street, it’s surrounded by Austin’s buzzing cultural scene — but inside, you’re transported into a world of marble floors, stained-glass domes, and museum-worthy art.

Venue highlights include:

  • 18,000 sq. ft. of elegant event space
  • 189 rooms and 14 suites for your guests
  • 1886 Café & Bakery for brunches, coffees, and casual magic
  • On-site wedding team that handles it all — engagements, rehearsal dinners, brunches, and the big day

Dress Match: Valentina by Flora

To match the quiet luxury and dignified glamour of The Driskill, we’ve chosen Valentina by Flora — a gown that embodies feminine elegance and timeless style.

  • Rich, classic fabrics
  • Sophisticated silhouette
  • Subtle detail that whispers luxury

Ma Maison

Location: Dripping Springs, TX
Vibe: Romantic, Rustic Luxury, European-Inspired

Set on 23 private acres of scenic Texas Hill Country, Ma Maison is a show-stopping venue designed for romance. With its antique gazebo, centuries-old oak trees, and Grand Hall reminiscent of a South of France chateau, this space is where southern charm meets European sophistication.

What makes Ma Maison magical:

  • The Green Cathedral and The Grove for outdoor ceremonies
  • The Great Hall with exposed beams, chandeliers, and stone fireplace
  • Multiple alcoves and balconies for intimate moments and photos
  • Scenic views overlooking Lac Moise

Dress Match: Venus by Eisen Stein

For a venue as enchanting as Ma Maison, we love the Venus gown by Eisen Stein — a masterpiece of elevated Western chic and romantic textures.

Dreamy, yet polished — the perfect countryside statement piece

Soft, flowing design with a couture edge

Unique details that reflect the nature-meets-luxury vibe


The Commodore Perry Estate

Location: Austin, TX
Vibe: European Elegance, Romantic, old world

Experience timeless elegance with Texas charm at the Commodore Perry Estate. A luxury Austin hotel blending heritage with contemporary style. The Commodore Perry has beautiful gardens, fountains, and patios. Perfect for the bride that dreams of an outdoor picturesque wedding.

  • Several Picturesque gardens and fountains through out the property

Dress Match: the Spencer Corset & Skirt from Halfpenny London

For a venue as Elegant and Old World as The Commodore Perry Estate, we love the Spencer Corset and Skirt — made of exquisite french lace and soft tulle.

  • The Spencer Corset is a structured yet romantic corset with French lace and soft tulle provides support
  • The Spencer Skirt has a sleek, fit and flare silhouette which showcases the floral motif of a french lace which is layered over a matte crepe fabric. Its comfortable and flattering.
