Jennifer J. Sent on 05/20/2022Beautiful, unique, and a hit with guests!
We are so glad that we chose to have our wedding at the Umlauf. Amanda was such a pleasure to work with and was prompt, professional, and kind in all of our meetings and conversations. The venue itself is gorgeous and has so many fun features that made for some very unique and beautiful wedding photos. The sculptures and greenery are so vibrant in the spring that we honestly didn't feel we had to do much more dressing up of the venue ourselves! The Umlauf was extremely easy to work with and did everything to make sure the day ran smoothly and that we had a great time and could just focus on having fun on our wedding day instead of worrying about the set up or take down. Our guests loved exploring the venue during the cocktail hour and reception, too. It was the perfect location for our 100-person wedding! Also, a random side-note that you may get lucky and be visited by some gorgeous wildlife during your wedding! Herons are my favorite birds, and two showed up during our reception in a show-stopping appearance that had everyone excited!(Photos by Leah Muse Photography!)UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum's reply:
Thank you so much, Jennifer! It was a pleasure to work with you, and I'm so glad it was such a special day for you and Horst. We are lucky to be surrounded by wildlife, and I love that the herons made a special appearance! -

Adam R. Sent on 07/25/2022Wonderful wedding venue!
Umlauf was a beautiful location to host our wedding. Each venue has its own peculiarities and pros and cons, so make sure you understand them before you book (the garden is open to the public during the day and going late at Umlauf is not an option, as amplified sound must be turned off at 10 PM per Austin city ordinance). You’d probably want to go with mostly preferred vendors, which is what we did. That being said, we had a wonderful experience at Umlauf. Office staff were great to work with (Amanda was always very helpful and responsive). We fit our wedding of about 50 people underneath the pagoda for dinner which was the perfect setting. The garden was pretty remarkable for our ceremony. And despite that ordinance, we were still able to host a great dance party for our guests. We highly recommend Umlauf.UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum's reply:
It was so wonderful to work with you, Adam! We're so glad that you enjoyed your time at the UMLAUF on your wedding day. Please come back and visit any time! -

Amanda was amazing! Very quick to response and answer any questions we had, as well as accommodating! We were hoping to have a sunny day to be able to fully enjoy the garden, but the freezing weather and rain kicked in. The garden was still absolutely magical in the rain and I can’t wait to see our photos from the photographer! We had our reception under the terrace with a few heaters and it was still very comfortable. We were so thankful the Gallery was available to rent, as well! -

Helen C. Sent on 12/28/2021The most beautiful wedding location
UMLAUF was hands down the most beautiful wedding location. Our guest raved at how perfect the garden was and how unique the sculptures were. Amanda, the venue coordinator, was extremely responsive and very helpful. I could not have imagined a more perfect spot for our wedding!UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum's reply:
Thank you, Helen! It was such a pleasure working with you and David, and I'm thrilled it was the perfect space for you and your guests to celebrate. We hope to see you back at the Garden in the future for a visit! -
Rachel Sent on 04/04/2018We loved having our wedding at Umlauf. It's a unique venue that you can personalize and make your own. The different levels and spaces made it feel really special. It also provides a drop-dead gorgeous back-drop for photos--the green is amazing.
Worth noting that I was worried about the wedding feeling short bc of the band having to stop at 10pm, but I was totally wrong to worry about that--the length felt perfect. I think it's the case for any outdoor venue in-town, and we were really glad to be in town. The ceremony was at 6pm but guests started arriving at 5 or 5:15. We had cava served while they strolled the garden. We didn't do a format exit so we hung around a bit after the music stopped--which was fun. We sent our guests to Easy Tiger, and arrived there ourselves by 10:45 or so to an awesome after-party. We didn't have a reservation but there was room for party to fill many tables.
One more tip: use the chairs they offer. A great source of savings--that looked great! -

User1711496 Sent on 07/14/2014I booked this venue only a few weeks before the event. It only took one short call. They were very responsive and helpful when I made the payment on paypal with the wrong card; they helped me cancel the payment and use the correct card to make the payment again. I also received the deposit reimbursement in a timely manner. All around this was a great place for a work meeting. -
