Pride and Joy II, a 75-foot double-decked yacht with a climate-controlled lower deck, down to intimate electric Myachts and self-driven Donut Boats, giving planners a boat sized to nearly any group. Cruises take in views of the downtown Austin skyline, Zilker Park, limestone bluffs, and the Congress Avenue Bridge bats, and the company's private charters are built around that scenery for weddings, rehearsal dinners, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and corporate outings. Guests can bring their own food and beverages, arrange plated catering, or add a margarita machine, band, DJ, or casino night, and boats can be decorated for the occasion (excluding confetti, rice, and similar items that could harm the lake). Attire on board runs from black tie to Austin-casual summer wear, and most vessels include a stereo system so hosts can set their own soundtrack.

Its centerpiece is a white cottage built between 1860 and 1880 and purchased in 1909 by Allison Mayfield, a former Texas Secretary of State and Railroad Commission chairman, whose family added the cottage's porches and a stone-and-wood pergola patio. Just under two acres of walled garden surround the cottage, with water lily and lotus ponds enclosed by antique rock walls, 32 volunteer-tended garden beds, and the largest stand of Sabal Texana palm trees north of the Rio Grande. Free-roaming peafowl, descended from birds gifted to the park in 1937, along with herons, koi, and turtles, share the grounds. The property hosts small private gatherings, including weddings, baby showers, proposals, and memorial services, as well as meetings, lectures, classes, and small retreats. Up to 45 guests may gather inside the cottage, with a maximum of 100 guests total across the cottage and gardens.

    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.
