Built in 1949 on a 280-acre homestead in Sunset Valley, just 10 minutes from downtown Austin, the Brodie Homestead barn spent nearly 50 years housing cattle, horses, and donkeys before its 2011 purchase by Daniel and Vicki Ross, owners of Austin's Allan House. After an extensive renovation, the family-owned venue opened for events in 2014, and its 38-foot wooden gambrel roof, original cathedral-like ceilings, and large stone walls remain from the historic structure. Six crystal chandeliers, rafter uplighting, and Edison bulb globe lighting illuminate the barn wood and white limestone interior, while custom white draping can divide the more than 4,200 square feet of indoor space into smaller areas. Brodie Homestead hosts weddings, corporate events, holiday celebrations, and non-profit fundraisers, accommodating up to 350 guests standing or 250 seated for a reception, with rentals including exclusive use of the space for 10 hours, two private loft changing suites, a catering prep kitchen, and a stone wall hook system for hanging greenery and florals. Outdoor walkways surround the building, and nearby green space is available for portraits and ceremony photography.

Moon Flower Hill is a 15-acre private estate above Lake Travis in Volente, Texas, about 30 minutes northwest of downtown Austin. The property is built around its ancient oak groves, with Luna Manor, the Pavilion, and the Veranda all sited beneath the canopy, alongside rolling lawns and a Lake Travis overlook. The estate hosts one event at a time, so a couple or planner books exclusive use of all 15 acres rather than sharing the grounds with another event. Luna Manor, a 6,000-square-foot mansion, seats 90 guests indoors, while the 3,600-square-foot Pavilion seats up to 250 and doubles as a rain-plan backup for outdoor ceremonies. The Veranda adds a covered, indoor-outdoor space anchored by a grand fireplace. Rental includes tables, chairs, on-site parking, day-of venue staff, and access to the Luna Room and Oak Room getting-ready suites for the wedding party. Moon Flower Hill runs its own in-house, fully licensed bar program, while couples bring their own caterer, florist, photographer, and other vendors of their choosing.
