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.
