The Caswell House is a limestone mansion built circa 1899 in downtown Austin, one of three neighboring houses designed by architect A.O. Watson in a mix of Gothic, Chateauesque, and Renaissance styles. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Texas Historic Landmark, the house sits at the corner of 15th Street and West Avenue and is owned and operated by the Austin Junior Forum, a nonprofit whose rental proceeds fund community grants. The two-story house hosts weddings, receptions, luncheons, fundraisers, and recitals across its courtyard, balcony, and indoor spaces. A Steinway piano sits in the second-floor turret, and the balcony overlooks the Texas Capitol and downtown skyline. Two full kitchens connected by an elevator support flexible catering, with hosts free to bring their own caterer or choose from the venue's preferred list.

Set on the banks of the Concho River in San Angelo, the Bill Aylor Sr. Memorial River Stage is an outdoor amphitheater built into the natural terrain of a 3-acre site. Its fan-shaped design lets spectators take in the stage from a terraced hillside or from folding chairs set on a concrete slab just in front of it, and the venue has hosted acts ranging from B.B. King and Willie Nelson to Ted Nugent and San Angelo's own Los Lonely Boys. It's also home to the city's annual July 3 Concert and fireworks show. The stage house spans 3,700 square feet, with the 1,325-square-foot stage measuring 114 feet from wingtip to wingtip and backed by dressing rooms, storage, and equipment space. Large doors in the wings double as baffles when open and, when closed, join a movable back panel and roof to form a full shell; those back panels can also be left open to frame a view through the stage to a fountain on the river. Despite its scale, the River Stage's rental rates are affordable enough that it regularly hosts private events alongside its concert season.

Cos House sits on Villita Street within La Villita Historic Arts Village, on the south bank of the San Antonio River in downtown San Antonio, one block from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and the Hemisfair District. It is considered the oldest building in the "little village," and tradition holds that General Martín Perfecto de Cos surrendered to Texan forces there in December 1835 following the Siege of Bexar, giving the house its name. La Villita traces its history nearly 300 years, beginning as an informal 18th-century settlement on former mission farmlands before falling into disrepair and later being restored in the 1930s under Mayor Maury Maverick's preservation effort. Cos House is one of several outdoor venues within the village, set in tree-shaded grounds that lend a historic ambiance to weddings, private parties, and performances alike. As an outdoor venue, Cos House suits celebrations that can take advantage of its open-air, tree-shaded setting amid the arts village's historic architecture.

Bella Sera Ranch is a wedding venue in Palestine, in the heart of East Texas, set on five acres of a 40-acre tract of rolling meadows and mature oak trees. The venue is built around multi-day celebrations, offering 48-hour estate rentals that give couples the run of the grounds for the full weekend rather than a single event day. Three distinct spaces anchor the property. A private, historic-style indoor chapel with vintage pews seats up to 150 guests for ceremonies, while an open-air Pavilion frames outdoor ceremonies for up to 200 amid towering trees and East Texas sunsets. The Grand Hall, a 4,500-square-foot reception space with cathedral ceilings and expansive windows overlooking the grounds, hosts receptions of up to 200. Bella Sera Ranch takes an all-inclusive approach, folding in a large selection of complimentary decor, an included photobooth, on-site rentals such as glassware and cloth napkins, and end-of-night cleanup by the venue. Packages can also be customized, and the venue serves couples from DFW, Tyler, Longview, and across the region.
