Vuka Reviews

When our original venue got flash flooded three hours before our wedding start time, we were absolutely devastated. Luckily, our amazing wedding planner sprung into action. She made some calls and found out that Gather on Monroe had a last minute opening to host us and our 80 guests. So, two hours before the wedding was set to begin, we moved everything in.

We had never been to Gather on Monroe, and we were STUNNED. It was beautiful. It was, perhaps, even better in some ways than what we had spent over a year planning for at our original venue. We loved the nature-inspired elements in the decor, and since the weather had taken a terrible turn and ruined our outdoor plans, we were so pleased to have our ceremony and reception at Gather. It was, somehow, so perfect.

We're still not sure how and why we got so lucky, but we're pretty sure the people behind Gather on Monroe are responsible for saving our wedding. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you!

We just had our daughter's wedding reception at Vuka. They didn't want a cookie cutter ballroom, or some venue that was too cliché. They didn't want anything too sterile and soulless. Vuka was perfect for their Austin-y themed wedding reception! There is such a vibe already there with the décor and furniture they already have, that not much more is needed to make it special location for your upcoming event. Vuka just added another bathroom, so now they have a total of two. We were originally going to have to rent a port a potty. They have many beautiful tables already to choose from, so that cuts down, or eliminates the need, to rent tables. The staff is easy to work with, and very accommodating. The back yard with fire pit and string lights in the large Oak tree was beautiful, although we didn't end up using it as it was a warm night for October. The pictures don't do it justice, you have to come see it in person.

Anna, Brin, and Julia were a great team from start to finish. Julia was such a pleasure working with on the day of! Kept this bride sane. Always going above and beyond to make sure that things were running smoothly for our big day. Their backyard served as the PERFECT spot for our "moonrise wedding" and their very chill interior space was welcomed by all of our guests. This is the spot to get married in downtown Austin, hands down!

We chose VUKA as our reception venue! If we could do it all over, we would still pick Vuka.
It was such a cool venue. Our guests kept saying how "us" it was. Very artsy and industrial!

The only flip side is that there are some restrictions as to how many ppl are allowed out back and you cannot have any guests be in the outdoor front area for your exit. We had to do our sparkler exit inside. It was still very cool and made for some amazing pics!
