Paniolo Ranch is a 100-acre destination resort and wedding venue in the Texas Hill Country in Boerne, set among rolling hills, wooded forest, and a private lake. The property takes its name from the Paniolo, Hawaiian cattle herders whose skill was proven against American cowboys at the 1908 Frontier Days rodeo, and its design blends that Hawaiian heritage with the character of a Texas ranch. Weddings take place at an outdoor stone altar ceremony site overlooking the lake and hills, followed by receptions in the Indoor Reception Hall, which opens onto a large patio and is outfitted with round tables, chiavari chairs, theatrical lighting, and a catering kitchen. Couples also have use of on-site bridal and groom's dressing rooms and a vineyard-vine photo backdrop. Beyond weddings, the ranch hosts elopements, rehearsal dinners, anniversary celebrations, and weekend getaways. Guests can extend their stay across five on-site houses, and the property's spa, pool, hot tubs, gym, art studio, and nature trails give a wedding party or retreat group a resort to settle into before and after the event itself.

The Gatehouse Pavilion is one of the event spaces at Old Glory Ranch, a Texas Hill Country property along the Blanco River in Wimberley that has hosted weddings and events since 1997. Built for the do-it-yourself bride, the Pavilion suits smaller and more casual gatherings — wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, and private parties for guest counts of 100 or fewer, at a more budget-conscious scale than the ranch's larger facilities. The approximately 36-by-60-foot space is outfitted with 10 handcrafted cedar tables and benches, a small kitchenette, two powder rooms, and a sitting/dressing room, along with a stereo system and wireless microphone for toasts and announcements. A large hand-laid stone fireplace with stained glass sidelights anchors the room. Outside of event hours, the Pavilion can also serve as a green room for performers or a childcare space during larger events elsewhere on the property. Old Glory Ranch has been owned by Suzanne and Charles McCord since 1984, and its event business grew from a single 1997 wedding into a full-service venue spanning more than 2,200 acres, with nearly two miles of Blanco River waterfront running through the property.

Set on 25 landscaped acres in San Antonio, the McNay Art Museum is anchored by a 24-room Spanish Colonial Revival mansion designed by architects Atlee and Robert Ayres. The mansion, its surrounding grounds, and Marion Koogler McNay's personal art collection became the founding gift for Texas's first museum of modern art, which opened to the public in 1954. In 2008, French architect Jean-Paul Viguier added the Jane and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions, a 45,000-square-foot expansion housing additional galleries, a sculpture garden, a lecture hall, and classrooms. Today the museum holds more than 22,000 works spanning medieval and Renaissance art through contemporary pieces. For weddings and corporate events, the McNay opens spaces across both the historic mansion and the contemporary center, including the Blackburn Patio, Frost Octagon, AT&T Lobby, Ewing-Halsell Foundation Reception Hall, and the Leeper Auditorium, which can seat up to 300 guests. Outdoor ceremonies can be held at the Main Fountain or Gazebo, and the Brown Foundation Sculpture Terrace hosts standing receptions for up to 300 among the museum's sculpture collection. All private events include use of the museum's galleries and grounds, along with on-site parking.

The Marquardt Ranch is a family-owned wedding venue in Boerne, Texas, set on land the Marquardt family has held since the late 1800s along the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country. Dru Marquardt designed and built the venue by hand on the property's bluff, hosting the first wedding there in 2007; his wife Jessica, who leads the venue's floral design, now runs it day to day. The ranch comfortably hosts weddings and events for 10 to 250 guests, with a maximum of 310, and includes an outdoor ceremony area along the river as well as bride and groom dressing suites. Couples may use the riverbank for first looks, bridal portraits, and engagement photos, though guest access to the water is reserved for those sessions rather than the wedding day itself. Catering, floral design, linens, and day-of coordination are all handled in-house, so couples work with one team rather than piecing together outside vendors. All-inclusive packages start at $9,800 for 50 guests, and micro-weddings for 25 or fewer guests start at $5,300.

San Antonio Botanical Garden sits on 39 acres just minutes from downtown San Antonio, on land gifted to the city in 1899 by George W. Brackenridge and formerly home to the Brackenridge Waterworks. The Garden opened to the public in 1980 and has since grown into a home for more than 1,000 plant species, including the Kumamoto En, an authentic Japanese garden designed by the Emperor's gardener and gifted from San Antonio's sister city in 1989. For private events, the Garden offers several distinct settings, from the Amphitheater, a historic converted water reservoir framed by wisteria and crossvine columns, to the Greehey Lawn, an open-air space beneath mature live oak trees that can seat up to 720 guests banquet-style.

Housed in the former Lone Star Brewery on the San Antonio River, the San Antonio Museum of Art occupies a complex built between 1895 and 1904, its twin towers and crenellated parapets still marking the site on Jones Avenue. The brewery closed during Prohibition and later served as a cotton mill, ice factory, and auto repair shop before falling into disrepair; museum director Jack McGregor rediscovered the building in 1971, and philanthropist Nancy Brown Negley helped lead the effort to convert it. Following a $7.2 million renovation by Cambridge Seven Associates, the museum opened to the public in 1981. Today the museum spans more than twelve acres and holds nearly 30,000 works of art representing six continents and more than 5,000 years of human creativity. The museum evaluates a limited number of private event rentals each year, offering planners a singular downtown location, historic buildings and grounds, proximity to the San Antonio River, and access to its art collection for weddings, corporate functions, and other gatherings.

Established in 1859 by William and Mary Menger on Alamo Plaza, the Menger Hotel is the oldest continuously operating hotel west of the Mississippi and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. The hotel began as a two-story, fifty-room property built to house guests of Menger's adjoining brewery, and grew through a series of additions, including the 1881 acquisition by Major J.H. Kampmann, who added new wings and the hotel's famed cherry-wood bar, modeled after the taproom of London's House of Lords Club. That bar, now known as the Menger Bar, is where Theodore Roosevelt recruited his Rough Riders, and it remains a centerpiece of the hotel's Victorian-era lobby, filled with museum-quality artifacts and Renaissance-revival detailing from a 1909 renovation. Just off the lobby, the Spanish courtyard garden offers palm trees, blooming azaleas, and a three-tiered fountain, alongside a heated pool described as the largest in San Antonio. For weddings and private events, the hotel's Grand Ballroom and Minuet Room anchor a set of eleven event spaces, from the crystal-chandeliered Grand Ballroom with its adjacent poolside terrace to the Minuet Room's Victorian fireplace, dance floor, and French doors opening onto the courtyard. Catering and bar service are handled in-house. Positioned directly on Alamo Plaza, steps from the River Walk, the Menger Hotel blends more than 160 years of San Antonio history with its downtown setting.
