VENUES

Let us start off by saying that vendor pricing varies - after all, they’re based not only on the final product delivered but on years of experience, level of artistry, amenities, services included, and much more. We don’t find “average” budget percentages very helpful, but instead of going in blind, we wanted to give brides a starting point of what to expect when booking wedding vendors in Central Texas.
