The Addison Grove

Kathryn Langhofer

If you are looking to have the most beautiful wedding with gorgeous scenery (Live Oaks, Longhorns, lush greenery) and a team that takes care of every little detail, look no further than The Addison Grove! It was everything I could have wanted in a venue and more. From the first communications with the AG team, all the way up through our wedding, their team was extremely helpful, responsive and SO friendly! It’s hard to choose our favorite part about The Addison Grove because it is truly all so breathtaking. The bridal suite is enormous, with gorgeous decor, and was the perfect place to get ready with my girls. We had 16 people doing full hair and makeup there and we still had plenty of room for lunch, drinks, lounging etc. Our wedding was under the Live Oak trees and it was absolutely breathtaking. We had 200 guests and it didn’t feel tight at all. The stone flooring is perfect for easy walking in heels, and the pictures of my ceremony turned out AMAZING because of the insane lighting and backdrop of the trees. Finally, the covered patio and Barn were perfect areas for the reception and for guests to have space to walk around, relax and have fun. The barn is adaptable to any design “look”, which is what makes it so unique. I can’t say it enough, any bride getting married in Austin MUST book AG for their venue. You will not regret it!

Although the venue is beautiful, we faced challenges working with the venue's management team. First be aware that the alcohol comes at a huge markup over any other comparable venue or third party bar service. The basic package, which does not offer very high-quality alcohol, is expensive to start, and any upgrades come with significant additional expense. We paid to upgrade some of the liquors, but then learned after our event that the bar refused to serve it without watering it down. If you're looking to host a classy event for a mature wedding party, you might find the bar service to be overly expensive and lacking a respectable vibe. In addition to the pricing issues, we had a poor experience communicating with our point person, Kristin. She was unresponsive and at times snide when we had questions. We ended up working with her manager to get our questions answered. For an event of this scale, we would have preferred a more friendly and collaborative partner to help guide us through the process.

My now husband and I knew we needed to pick our venue at the beginning of wedding planning during COVID 2020. Addison Grove was the first venue we visited, and my then fiancé was already drawn by the warm welcome and information provided by the staff. We had 350 guests in mind, but luckily our final count was only 260 guests- we almost thought we wouldn't be able to seat everyone. The tables fit well inside the barn. The grounds of AG are stunning- we never thought we would go with a barn venue, but this is so upscale and easily customizable and you're able to make it your own. They have a preferred vendor list for catering and coordination, which seemed restrictive at first, but ended up working out really well for us. Soho Catering- huge shoutout to them! There are a ton of outlets outdoor and inside the barn. The bridal suite is absolutely stunning. The grounds itself are plenty and well-kept. The barn is gorgeous and we loved the romantic feel. I wish there was a little more lighting inside the barn though, to be able to dim and raise lighting as needed. Our favorite of course are the longhorns on the property- it included our love for animals and a nod to the UT longhorns. While not directly related to the venue itself, the sister floral company really let us down. They seem like a convenient option, but really dropped the ball on us by telling us they would be available for our day, and then not. Overall, we have no regrets choosing the Addison Grove. Our guests loved the property, and we've seen several save the date cards from new couples pictured on our wedding day. Diandra made my whole wedding day so lovely, and her energy is unmatched. Thank you to the whole team. Definitely a great venue to make special memories, especially on your wedding day!

THIS IS THE VENUE OF YOUR DREAMS. Seriously. Let me share why - 1. Indoor/Outdoor Space that transforms Without any decor, the Addison Grove is a gorgeous venue with so much space for your guests to explore. The landscaping is absolutely fabulous and most major walkways are paved - A huge plus if you are looking for an ADA-friendly venue for elderly family members! The venue has ample indoor and outdoor space, making it perfect for temperamental Texas weather. We loved being able to open the garage-style windows during our reception once the temp had cooled a bit after sunset. Our guests loved this as well as they could sit outside and catch up without feeling disconnected from the dance floor! The venue is already beautiful, but my favorite thing about Addison Grove is that it transforms. Not into the rustic, barn thing? Same - Neither was I! But we worked with our planner and we had some colorful draping put up and the space felt exactly what I have always envisioned for my wedding - Whimsical and fun! This venue has such amazing structure and a neutral style that you can transform into the most modern, chic or colorful vibe you could ever want... OR you can lean into the barn thing - I can promise that your guests will get a thrill out of snapping pics over by the resident longhorns either way :) There are so many beautiful groves of trees lining the ceremony locations. You really feel like you are tucked away in a super special corner of Hill Country, even though you are just a 2 minute drive from 290! (The AG is one of the closest venues to a major road in Dripping Springs..... your guests will thank you for this at the end of the night. Trust me.) 2. Bridal Suite I have a big, Indian family and y'all..... this bridal suite is EVERYTHING. It is literally the size of a house, absolutely gorgeous and made getting a group of 25 gals ready and putting on saris feel like a breeze. Plenty of outlets, 4+ hair/make up stations and complimentary bubbly and beer for the wedding party as they get ready. What more could ya want??? The bridal suite has a bunch of natural light and is a great backdrop for pictures, breakfast on the patio, or just stepping outside on the porch for a breath of fresh air during all of the getting ready craziness. We toured 10+ venues and Addison Grove had the nicest/biggest bridal suite out of them all. 3. Staff, add-ons, and recommended vendors The staff is SO nice and easy to get in touch with. There was never a wait for the bar, as their bartenders are quick, polite and professional. The bar packages are such a great return on investment as everyone could get exactly what they wanted and the drinks were QUALITY! The in house package ensures you never run out of booze and that the drinks are served quickly! The venue has a variety of in-house add ons (lounge set, photobooth, etc) which are really nice for those last minute decisions where you don't necessarily want to loop in another vendor or moving part to keep track of. The Addison Grove staff will take care of the set up and tear down for all of their add ons! The photobooth add on was so easy, and such a hit with the guests. Finally - Wedding planning and choosing the best vendors is all about NETWORK! There is a reason Addison Grove requests you use their recommended vendors and planners. They are all awesome, top quality and will ensure your event goes off without a single hiccup. Addison Grove is very much seen as one of the premiere venues in Hill Country - The best vendors love working with this venue and there is a good reason why! Every vendor we worked with has collabed with Addison Grove atleast 10+ times. The venue and it's staff has a well-earned reputation of being the best. All in all - DO IT. You will not regret it. Thanks, AG team!!!
