About this venue

Chapel Dulcinea, a wedding venue situated in Austin, Texas, is proud to offer all couples a free chapel where they can gather with their loved ones to exchange their vows. This open-air chapel has a great deal of experience hosting weddings. In fact, it commonly hosts over 1,000 weddings in a single year. This site also offers you and your guests the convenience of being close to the downtown area of Austin, giving your wedding party plenty of options for pre- and post-ceremony fun and entertainment.

Facilities and Capacity

Perched on a hill near an ancient walking trail, this venue provides you and your guests with wide open views of the surrounding areas. This tile-roofed, rustically arched space can accommodate up to 60 of your friends and family. When you say your vows here, you are able to use not only the main Chapel Dulcinea but also the Spence Diamond Pavilion and the Bride's and Groom's Rooms. The separate wedding party rooms allow you to prepare with plenty of privacy. While the chapel is mainly used as a ceremony site, the team can recommend three nearby reception sites -- the Veranda Room, Tuscan Hall, and Wildflower Barn -- for couples to choose from.

Priceless Venue

We were lucky enough to come across and reserve Chapel Dulcinea for our February 2020 wedding. Their website has every single piece of information needed to plan your wedding with no surprises (You need to spend the time to read!!). The reservation process was seamless and any questions I emailed or called the staff with were promptly answered. They also have a robust list of service providers which comes in extremely handy when you are not from the area as we were. We chose Peary Photography & ATX Elopements for our special day and all expectations were exceeded. Our wedding was perfect for us and it all started with choosing Chapel Dulcinea as our venue.

Amazing Hill Country Views

Everything was great besides the walk to the Chapel on a hot day , they need a Golf cart available for rental available with their service. This will assist with helping elderly family members and tasks on site

21 Yrs Ago

We were married here 21 years ago and it still looks beautiful. It wasn't as busy back then when we wanted our small but beautiful celebration with close family. The views are spectacular and they are still the best photos we could have ever asked for especially in the July heat. A blessing for sure and excited to see so many couples enjoying this wonderful venue. Cheers!!

Mediterranean Setting in Austin

This chapel is absolutely gorgeous, the picture & views don’t do it justice. The Spanish-style architecture is so picturesque, my family & friends back home mistakenly thought my elopement was somewhere in Europe.

I originally envisioned my venue to be somewhere mountainside in Colorado, but this chapel embodies the theme as well. It’s hillside, a long walk down the aisle in gravel, (fyi especially in uncomfortable heels) but the scenery makes it so worth it.

You can easily see why it’s such a popular destination for a wedding venue. Every time I think back & ask myself “what if” I went with this venue instead, I’m reminded how breathtaking the whole property is.

Even though the actual chapel is super small, it’s so inviting & intimate. It evokes a warmth about it; it’s exactly the kind of romantic simplicity I was striving to achieve. From the dressing rooms, to infinite nature photo opportunities - the tradition of ringing the bell as soon as you say I-do, this venue is beyond your expectations.

Great wedding venue!

My wife and I reserved this venue sight-unseen and were blown away by how beautiful it was on our wedding day. The nature surrounding the chapel was breath-taking and the chapel itself was timeless and clean, which is impressive given that it is an open-air structure. The staff were professional and kind, and everything was set up before we arrived- we rented chairs and a table for the reception. The cherry on top was the free live stream for all the family who couldn't make it! We highly recommend Chapel Dulcinea and are so glad we chose this venue.

Perfect for a small ceremony!

Got married here a month ago and it was the best experience! The staff was great and made the whole process super easy. We hired Kim as our officiant and had Arnold the yellow case guitarist play live music. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a small ceremony.
