Everything was perfect. We got married on 9/30/18…read more I will say if you plan on getting married anywhere in Austin, this is the place. It was very affordable, AND the food was amazing. Salt Lick is a staple in Austin. All the staff was helpful. The site coordinator (Rachel Agin) was amazing and always very responsive. I was nervous about everything and we had plan A-G and she walked me through it all. I saw another review who was unhappy on the way it looks, but I will say it depends on when you go and how you decorate it. When we visited in December/January... in the winter... there was no greenery... because it was the winter... We were very simple with our decorations (mason jar flowers with 3 votives around the table as centerpieces and a table runner down the middle - that's it) and it was amazing. The chandeliers and lighting were perfect, and I didn't need to be extra. Externally I felt like a princess walking towards the arch and my goodness it was amazing. We just had flowers on the arch and I have seen some people leave it bare (your choice) I think it is beautiful either way. My guests RAVED about the food and ate SO MUCH. They couldn't stop talking about how perfect my wedding was with the location, the food, and everything else. I've gotten comments like "This is probably the prettiest wedding I have been to" and "I went back for 3rds". I will say none of this would have been possible without the incredible staff. They were very patient with us, and there were a few things that I was going to get charged extra for, but they didn't. They didn't rush us out, and made sure we were comfortable and told us to leave whenever we were ready to. So, it was a hectic night but we got to enjoy every moment of it. Here is a link to my wedding video, I am not shy to share it because it was amazingly beautiful. https://vimeo.com/293017813/description I will also post some pictures as well.

Let my start by saying not all of the photos for Thurman's mansion are truly this event space…read more This is the building with the large front lawn and large columns. It has a semi large ballroom that would easily house 125. The floors are a nice terra-cotta tile and this space has large windows. On the right hand side there are a few windows with stained glass. Check the photo I posted they are very lovely. At the very end of the room is a distinctive wooden bar. The wood is stained dark and it has an aged look to it. There are double doors that lead to the 1st floor patio. This area is a very nice space for cocktails, I would date say you could get 50 to 75 people out there. Beyond the patio are red brick stairs that lead to the large lawn. The large lawn is where you can play lawn games and or hold a ceremony. I will be honest you can hear some of the traffic on the main road. I am sure that would be less noticeable if soft music was playing.the next thing I noticed about this place is that the upstairs are dedicated to the wedding party. There is a suite for the bride and the groom both with their own bathroom. There is also an elevator and a sitting area outside of the suites where a quick meal might be had. All and all I think this is a cute venue. It's an attractive property and all the chartering is handled by Salt Lick.

Hand me a parasol, lace up my corset and find me a Mr. Darcy--this place was from another time!!…read more *contented sigh, I was fortunate enough to be invited to a wedding held out at Thurman's Mansion this past weekend. What a beautiful venue!! I had never even heard of it until I got the invitation. Thurman's Mansion is part of the Salt Lick Family--located just East of the Salt Lick on 1826. Gorgeous iron gates pique the curiousity of drivers and beckon guests in. The venue is a large mansion overlooking well manicured grounds and vineyards. The view of the mansion from the back is just breathtaking. A huge porch covers the back of the building--dramatic pillars hold up a second story balcony. Wide steps lead up from the grounds to the back doors of the reception hallf/main room. I saw the mansion on two different days in two very different ways--Friday afternoon for the rehearsal, I saw it set up for an outdoor wedding. The sun shining down, bride practicing her walk from the sweeping steps of the mansion down to the corner of the lawn where the trellace waited, people lining the stone walls around the perimeter of the lawn watching the practice. I felt like I stepped into a Jane Austen movie--my friend had planned a glorious outdoor wedding on the grounds. Much to her dismay, God and the torrential downpours decided that it would be better to have the ceremony indoors. Rather than ceremony outside and reception inside, both ceremony and reception were inside. The staff had set up about 40 chairs where the dance floor would have been. Double doors were open at the back of the small seating area allowing the pitter-pattering of the rain outside as the background music while they exchanged vows. The reception was a seated dinner for about 150 guests. Salt lick does catering--very fun to have the family style dinner Texas Style w/ cobbler as dessert. A nice alternative to the traditional wedding scene. The porch was a great place for conversation and mingling--they had the bar and some hors d'eouvres set up out there while the guests waited for pictures to be taken. The rain let up for exactly an hour--enough time for outdoor pictures! I honestly think that my friend got the best of both worlds...a unique, beautiful, romantic and intimate indoor wedding ceremony complete with rain and tears. Then outdoor pictures overlooking the vineyards with the mist hovering over the land. I swear I could hear Mr. Darcy beckoning to me while I watched from the porch... My hat goes off to you, Thurman's Mansion. You successfully transported me to another time. Bravo.

First and foremost, the Director, Amanda, went above and beyond to answer questions throughout our entire planning process (which is NOT standard but she has like a decade of experience in this industry and offers support anyway). Second, the location is incredible, it doesn't feel like Texas, it feels like a remote Italian villa, hence the name lol. The building is so beautiful that you really don't NEED a ton of decor for it to feel elegant. The vineyard, especially in the spring/summer months, is the most gorgeous backdrop for the outdoor ceremony site. Third, the bride and groom suites are unmatched. I had 30 people in my bridal party (crazy, I know ha) and we had plenty of room. The spaces are decorated with modern and chic elements that make the day feel that much more special. Lastly, it's the details for me! The restrooms are very clean, spacious and elegant looking. The fountain in the front (where we did our first look) is so romantic. The outdoor patio area with fairy lights is inviting. The landscaping was in perfect condition. The hideaway door/stairwell connected to the bridal suite for the bride to use was so convenient. The ability to bring in our own vendors helped us reduce our cost significantly. The flexibility of this space really allows you to make it your own for your event. Highly recommend!!!

The view, individual locations from within the venue (Chapel, Barn, Pavilion, and Cottages), and the staff. Amber and Whitney were absolutely the BEST! They helped with suggestions on vendors and so much more. They allowed me to visit several times prior to the event for planning proposes. They recommended an amazing day planner (A Bride a Day) to help me on the day of as I was doing all the planning for my daughter's wedding. One the day before the wedding they assisted me in getting the place fully ready...I did my own decorations, so it was a lot. On the day of the wedding, they were present for the entire event. They made sure that I (the mother) and my daughter (the bride) had everything we needed. Even the simplest of things that I would have missed because I was busy or entertaining, they made sure I didn't. The Venue itself is beautiful down to every touch. We liked having the Groom and Bridal Cottages for getting ready, the Chapel for the service, Pavilion for the cocktail hour, and the barn for the reception. Plus, it holds a lot of people. I can honestly say I wouldn't have changed a thing.
