This review is based on food we had catered to our office for lunch. By all accounts, the owners…read moreare wonderful, worked well with our staff, and most of the veggies in the food they grow themselves. Which is wonderful to know. We had veggie and chicken tikka masala, as well as a cashew quinoa salad. All FANTASTIC, fresh, delicious, and clearly healthy. The veggie tikka had quinoa, and both dishes were full of delicious fresh veggies, including brussels sprouts, green beans, cauliflower, carrots, squash, and more. The chicken was tender and delicious, and the sauce flavorful, but not overpowering the food at all. The vegan brownies I initially resisted trying (because . . . vegan brownies?). But actually they were very good, extremely moist, and tasty. I wish there was a restaurant. But in the meantime, I sure hope we get them catered in again. OFTEN.

I think I need a unique option for a group of friends... or my office party. Or I really want to be a part of a really cool dinner evening in the middle of herb and vegetable gardens... it's pretty cool when we walk through the gardens and pick what we eat. Really. I've done quite a few events at the SicolaGardenHouse... both as guest of other events as well as hosting my own. And they have it all. I'm always looking for conversation points and unique options when it comes to dining... whether I'm considering a special evening for family, for networking, for friends, for colleagues, or for a date. I call Sarah up, she asks me what I'm looking to do... she remembers what I've done in the past, and then she helps me make the perfect event. The food is absolutely amazing... better than I've had at most 5-star restaurants. I've traveled the world and nearly the entire country. I've yet to find a dining destination as cool as the Sicola Garden House. You don't have to have all the answers (Sarah will help you), you just have to call. And the Sicola's remind me I can bring my favorite bottle of wine :) Excited for my next event!

I'm attending a family wedding and I got to say that the venue is wonderful. The views of the lake…read moreare fantastic. I would love to have gotten married here 25 years ago. BUT, everything goes down hill when the food and and servers are horrible. The food super cold and the servers were cold as well. Servers didn't pick up salad plates when serving entrees. They just told us to put it aside or they put entree plate on top of dirty plate. This type of service ruins your upscale venue. All of our food was cold, the chicken, veggies and bread were iced cold. I wouldn't do an event here knowing how it is. The only positive besides view and location was the bartender. Lori was amazing and very serviceable. Her attitude and customer service was on point. But for sure. I works recommend this place unless is just for pictures.

The venue is under new ownership now but I had worked with Benita throughout my planning and she has been amazing throughout the whole process. I also added on day of coordinator service and Benita took care of all the details so that I can relax and enjoy my wedding. Out of all the venues I looked at, The Terrace was the most affordable for my budget and I didn't need to worry about table or chair rentals. They have a kitchen, walk-in fridge, and regular freezer so you have access to set-up in the back or early off of supplies. It was also a great help that they had some decors available, so I didn't have to worry about spending extra for this. Overall, I really liked the space and how convenient it was to have the ceremony and reception in one location. There is a room where you can get ready or hang out before the wedding, but the lighting is pretty dim. Venue is about a 45 minute drive from Austin, but the drive is scenic and nice. A big thank you also to Kristi and James for helping setting up, cleaning up, and picking up the catering for my wedding.

Star Hill Ranch looks like a little cowboy western town. Something straight out of a western tv movie. With little buildings, a small church, and a gorgeous back drop. Stage in the back, and lawn, and the hills and trees behind the stage. Old Ford trucks. Just the most picturesque back drop for any event. Truly is the most Texas scenery I've seen. The mac & grilled cheese event was spectacular. So many samples and so much fun. Gorgeous day to start out with. All the venders were delightful. Explaining their sample dish. Some used cheese that I've never heard of. Some using my personal favorite cheese and some of the most inventive toppings. Flaming hot Cheetos, green onions, pickled onions, pickles, just so creative outside the standard mac & cheese. No Kraft box in sight at this event! Event itself was very well organized. A speaker came on a few times and asked how everyone was doing, getting the crowd of people pumped up. Making sure everyone was informed throughout. A lot of crew members walking around too to answer questions and guiding people to the right areas. There were some tables overlooking the gorgeous back drop of the mountains and stage. Everywhere was a photograph moment. I would absolutely go back next year. I would probably get the VIP tickets verses the general addition. The VIP gets you into lounges and an hour earlier into the event.

After googling drive through weddings in Austin trying to find something similar to Vegas, I came across this little white chapel. The photos are just as cute as in person and the couple who officiate are the absolute sweetest. They make the moment special but also light hearted and friendly. We upgraded to go in instead of drive through and I am so glad I did. She took great photos with our phone (you can also upgrade that too, to professional photos). There are several packages to chose from with even more upgrades if you like. They are adding on to the back and it is looking super cute if you want an evening wedding with lights outside etc. The airstream they have is super cool too. Overall such a wonderful experience and I am so glad we found this little treasure hidden in the hill country hills.
