Thurman's Mansion is a 7,000-square-foot, two-story native limestone building in Driftwood, Texas, named for the late Thurman Roberts, founder of the Salt Lick BBQ. Originally intended as the Roberts family home, the mansion was repurposed as a wedding and event venue and remains a member of the Salt Lick family today. Ceremonies take place overlooking the property's Hill Country vineyard, with couples exchanging vows as the sun sets over the surrounding hills. Wedding packages include use of the space for four and a half hours with a two-hour early arrival window for vendors, sixty-inch round tables set with white linens, bone china, and silverware, and draped tables for the gift, registry, cake, and head table. Couples hosting ceremonies on-site also receive use of bride and groom quarters beforehand, along with chair setup and an optional archway at the ceremony site. Catering comes courtesy of the venue's sister restaurant, the legendary Salt Lick BBQ, whose menu is available alongside custom options put together with the mansion's event coordinators. The mansion also hosts private and corporate events and rehearsal dinners.
