About

Star Hill Ranch is a wedding venue located in Austin, Texas. A re-creation of a picturesque Texan Hill Country community, the ranch provides couples with an array of indoor and outdoor event spaces in a tranquil and elegant setting. A short drive away from downtown Auston, couples can escape the noise of the big city and enjoy the beautiful Texan countryside.

FacilIties and Capacity

The ranch can host the most luxurious and glamorous of celebrations as well as smaller more intimate gatherings. Couples who are seeking to make the most of the ranch's glorious grounds and the warm Texan sunshine, the ranch offers a number of outdoor event spaces, perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The picture-perfect Arbor is a park-like ceremony area nestled amongst age-old oak trees and connected to the main building by a meandering stone pathway. The open-plan space can be configured in a variety of ways and is an idyllic setting for both small and large ceremonies. For traditional celebrations, the Little Chapel is a classic Texan Chapel accompanied by period lighting, a functional bell tower, and original pine floors. First built in 1899, the Chapel’s front grounds can also be used as an outdoor ceremony site. Couples can exchange vows at the chapel’s steps, with the bell tower overlooking proceedings. Additional event spaces include the Reception Hall, Fitzhugh Building, the Groom’s Quarters, and the Bridal Cottage. Other facilities at the ranch include the main street and plaza, a catering kitchen, and more.

We also have incredible Micro/Elopement Wedding spaces! If you just want to do a quick ceremony, or have a full wedding on a micro scale, we got you covered. We offer these spaces by the hour for DIY micro weddings and we have a number of inclusive packages. Let us know what will work best for you!

Matt and his crew are the warmest and kindest folks you’ll ever meet. I cannot recommend them enough.

You’ll feel like family with Matt and his crew. The wedding was gorgeous and the service was impeccable. You won’t get a better vibe from this venue. From the lighting to the various options you have and beautiful rain options you just cannot go wrong.

I absolutely love Star Hill Ranch! The town they have built out there is amazing! I love the old-time feel at night with the cafe lights across the street. As a photographer, going through all the buildings is like I'm a kid in a candy shop. So many great photo ideas! And the management is fantastic, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day.
