w austin {wedding venue} austin, texas

I’ve turned my sites downtown for hotel wedding venues & the vibrant W Austin hotel was at the top of my list. Located in the heart of downtown, all of the city is at your fingertips. But, why leave at all when you have a rooftop pool, a spa, & plenty of restaurants in the hotel?

W Austin Rooftop pool & Terraces

The W Austin features multiple rooftop areas that are perfect for intimate weddings, bridal parties, & rehearsal dinners. Minimal decorations are needed when the downtown cityscape is your backdrop! (Although you can never have too many flowers & twinkle lights.) The rooftops offer stunning views of the city as well as Lady Bird Lake.

Want something to make your wedding uniquely Austin? Check out Austin City Limits that is connected to the hotel!

For a uniquely Austin send off, (carefully) run down the stairs that ends at the Willie Nelson statue!

W Austin Great Room

For much larger weddings (& climate controlled areas), the Great Room can accommodate up to 220 guests with a dance floor & a DJ or live band. The neutral gray decor is the perfect blank canvas for any wedding style. Also, the chandeliers? Amazing.

Bride’s Room

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’ll know that one of the things that gets me excited is a well-lit & spacious bridal suite. The floor to ceiling windows on one wall & windows high up around the room let in the most glorious light that any makeup artist & photographer will love. Again, the neutral gray is the perfect non-distracting backdrop.
