This venue is going to be an Absolute Dream

Ok, so we just finished our preview tour of The Laiken, and I am so incredibly excited. This place isn't just another venue; it has such a unique and genuinely amazing vibe. Even though it's not officially open yet, you can already tell the whole aesthetic is going to be stunning. Definitely a five-star find for us!

What really blew me away was the perfect marriage of chic design and natural beauty. The way they're planning to integrate the buildings with the Hill Country landscape is just gorgeous – seriously, like something out of a magazine. The light, the textures they're envisioning… it has this cool, sophisticated, yet totally authentic feel. The architects clearly have amazing taste.

And the indoor-outdoor flow they're planning? It's going to be incredible. They're not just talking about big windows; they're creating a seamless connection between the beautiful interiors and that breathtaking Lake Travis view. It’s going to make the whole experience so smooth and enjoyable for everyone. It's more than just a pretty backdrop; it’s a fundamental part of what makes the venue so special.

I left with my mind racing with possibilities. This place feels like the perfect canvas to create a wedding that’s truly us – not just some generic, off-the-shelf package. It has this wonderful, exclusive feel, almost like our own private Hill Country escape for the day. I can already picture the stunning ceremony photos and then everyone mingling and having a great time under the stars. It’s going to be so memorable.

The passion behind this project is so clear, and I have a feeling this place is going to be the spot. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this gem!

SO glad we didn't use this venue

The location is pretty but the venue feels generic and soul-less. And that is just going by their presentation/photos as it isn't even built yet! They are insanely overpriced - watch out for the fine print. And there is not enough parking for the venue so they expect guests to carpool. Also- something they didn't mention and thankfully we asked, they expect ba $20 per employee tip on top of all the fees they do mention. What a rip off.

Fraud venue who cancelled weddings

This venue is an actual joke. They lie about everything. They cancelled weddings and made the brides sign NDAs to get their money back. Every single employee is a liar. This company deserves 0 stars. I am begging and praying that no one ever books with Walters Wedding Estates.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
