Jake and Mandy's wedding
Mandy S.

What can I say about Memory Lane? SO MUCH! After months of planning our dream wedding, we can gladly say "We're married!", and it was all due to the massive help from Memory Lane staff. From the very beginning everyone was super helpful- and we needed a lot! From planning to final meetings to the big day, we were happy with how everything turned out. Our wedding was perfect! No stress, all of us started on time, and the coordinators are LIFESAVERS! I would have had no clue when to walk down the aisle, when to first dance, how to throw a bouquet, without these girls. They helped us immensely throughout the day and we are so pleased with how everything turned out. Our families were so happy to be able to enjoy the day without running around for us- thank you to all of the Memory Lane family that made this happen! We also used the in house florists, Wild Bunches, which was amazing and so easy. Our bouquets were colorful, exactly how I wanted them and they were really great working with our budget! And after the whole shindig, we stayed in the residence after the wedding, which was ideal so our wedding party didn't have to drive back to hotels. I felt like a princess the whole day! Thank you so so much, everyone at Memory Lane!

This is the PERFECT venue! Not only is the location gorgeous.. you can stay here and accommodate family and friends during your special day. The staff is beyond incredible and professional. They make the day just....flawless. I was nervous about the rain pushing us inside, and Memory Lane kept the most positive and up to date on the radar. The sky cleared and the entire evening was perfect. Maybe they have magic up their sleeves ;) Either way, you will not regret choosing this as your venue for ANY event.

After getting engaged, my fiancé and I took a couple of weeks for it to sink in. Once we where ready, we reached out to our church and started to look for venues. I can't even remember, but somehow we saw Memory Lane's open house and we decided to check them out. We had a tour by Thalia and after we left we decided to call them back and take advantage of the open house special. We fell in love with the rustic, yet sophisticated, look of the reception hall. We fell in love with the outdoor grounds with the luscious trees and pool, plus the beautiful guest house was included with overnight accommodations. The staff has wedding planning down to include every detail. We visited the venue probably 3 times after booking, and the last meeting helped the staff to ensure all my dreams and wishes came true. Most of my vendors were new to them, thus the extra visits out there. Their flexibility with the vendors helped us keep the budget in check. After looking for a day-of-coordination, ML not only had the best deal, but I was confident I could count on their experience. On our wedding day 8/1/15, we got married in a church in downtown Austin, and then we had everyone drive out to Memory Lane. It was a bit of a drive, but we knew that our guests would love it out there. We arrived at ML just in the nick of time, as per our timeline. ML staff helped me adjust my dress for the reception and off we were to be announced as husband and wife into the reception hall. I felt so lucky to have worked with Thalia, Gaby, and Uleta. Due to the hot Texas heat (over 100 degrees) we set up a cocktail hour in the lodge (in the guests cabin), but we also set up cocktail tables outside the reception hall next to the Margarita/Piña Colada bar. We also set up a cornhole game on their lawn, and a cigar hour outdoors. The Mariachi band started on cue, and dinner buffet was ready. I literally had "My Big Fat Mexican Wedding" at ML. I wasn't expecting any dancing during dinner, but my family got really excited with the Mariachis, that the dancing started right away. We also did the traditional "Vibora de la Mar", which ML staff had never experienced before. It involves the groom and bride standing on chairs and creating a bridge, while all the ladies create a super fast Congo line that goes all around the entire reception hall. The ML staff was extremely attentive out all the needs and wants throughout the entire night, they were all smiles, which to me was super important that they appeared approachable to my family, guests, and vendors. All my guests had a wonderful time. We loved being able to invite our guests to hangout a little longer at the after party at the guests house. We took full advantage of the pool and hot tub. I highly recommend having people willing to help clean up, we are super thankful that our wedding party ensure we left everything as required by ML. My only concern was the following: they advertised a capacity of 250, but I was sweating it. After looking at the table layout, I was hoping we only had 220 rsvp's. We were able to squeeze 24 tables (240 guests), but it was tight. It all worked out at the end. Since it was buffet style, we set up two buffet tables (one at the back of the dance floor), which was dismantled after dinner. We also used their rental company for the additional tables, chairs, and linens. Their service included setup and take down, which we truly appreciated. Thalia and Gaby were amazing at listening and catering to my wishes to ensure we would have a memorable wedding day. Their day-of-coordination services were everything and more than I expected. Overall, the place and the staff were exceptional. We loved celebrating our big day at Memory Lane.

We had our wedding at Memory Lane in December. Staff was amazing!!!! I highly recommend the day of coordinator. They made the day so much more enjoyable. The cost was great for what was included. I also recommend you use their florist Wild bunches. They were priced well and are right on site. I just wish I could do the entire day over again!!!!

See all

I had a lot of guests from outside of Texas, so I wanted to give them an authentic Texas Hill Country experience while still reflecting my modern tastes. I chose to have both my ceremony and dinner in the beautiful Great Room to avoid the Texas heat, which was a decision both my guests and I appreciated! Dancing was in the barn, and there was a nice breeze flowing through the doors that kept the space cool. The reason I first fell in love with this venue is that it feels like a home rather than an "event space." The on-site bride and groom's suites were so convenient and comfortable, and my guests enjoyed having so many options to explore between the great room, the upstairs and downstairs patios, the lawn, and the barn. I love this venue so much, I chose to hold my rehearsal dinner and a post-wedding Sunday brunch there as well! April was so incredibly kind and helpful both before the wedding (which was a long period of time - I booked way back in December 2015!) as well as at all three of my events. She truly cares about the people she hosts, and goes above and beyond to make sure your event is exactly the way you want it. I encourage anyone looking for a venue to visit Cricket Hill Ranch - I guarantee you will fall in love with it too!

Vista brewing is a nice spot in Driftwood to come and hang! I came out here for father's day with…read moremy parents which happened to be during the World Cup. They had it playing on the TVs inside and the place was PACKED -- I'm sure both for the World Cup and father's day. They also had a live band playing in the afternoon outside; it was hot to be out there but the music coming into the covered area was still really nice. Of course it's a little pricey for what you get (both the beer and the food), and they sell out of things which is why I took off a star since the one thing I came to try was actually sold out that day sadly... but the schnitzel hot dog I had wasn't bad. Overall you come here for the ambiance and music, anyway. I'm sure they do beer tasting/tours, but we didn't sign up for that. They also have a very large gravel lot that fits everyone fine -- we got a parking spot within a few mins of arriving despite how busy it was.

Vista is one of my favorite local-ish breweries. Day tripping to Dripping Springs for good…read morebreweries and wineries is such a fun thing to do. So, if there's a place I like, I'm gonna go again and again. Vista is one of those places. I like their approach to beer making. They are vigilantly local when it comes to ingredients and offerings. The brewery/restaurant sits on over 20 acres in hill country. Large, clean, and modern interior with large outdoor seating areas and patio setups. Picnic tables, fire pits, etc. The food is good, gang. Love the grilled sausage board and the cheese board (all local cheese). Soft pretzel & cheese also super good. Lots of other items in the menu that look incredible. Sunday brunch too. Farm to table. The pours...oh, the pours. Excellent beers! I love the black pilsner (Dark Skies), the chocolate notes come through in such an aromatic and roasty manner. The pale ale (Driftwood Pale Ale) is the perfect summer pour. It's light, crisp, and refreshing. In addition to the regular pours, they've got a lot of seasonal offerings too. They also serve wine/wine cocktails and n/an options. Spending a day in hill country? Vista makes for a nice stop!

The food was delicious, the pool area was well maintained and lovely. And fortunately, no attempts at being anything other than a cute hill country getaway with great food at Tilly's - which superseded all of my expectations... the dining space was so beautifully restored, the brunch was solid, their elk special for dinner was impeccable, and so was the filet... loved every moment. My only gripe, I wish there was a better selection of liquors at the pool bar... there's a much better selection st the bar inside Tilly's, but it's not easy to go inside with a wet bathing suit on, so it becomes difficult to get certain drinks like a Bloody Mary or a top shelf margarita when you're at the pool. Also... omg that pizza by the pool!! Hot honey is the way to go!!

When she reserved it, she put it on her credit card. She only recently went back to work after our kids have launched their careers so she is slowly building her credit. When we got there, I asked them to please put everything on my credit card which has a much higher limit. We checked out and everything was placed on my credit card and our balance was zero. Several days later I noticed that the pending charge had not been removed so I sent an email to them. They said give it a few days and if it hadn't fallen off by then contact them again. I contacted them again since the charge had not fallen off by last week. They apologized profusely and said they would escalate this quickly to their management and into accounting to take action. I contacted them yesterday and asked for an update and now they are ghosting me. Previously they had answered each email within a couple of hours. I called the credit card company and they said I could dispute the charge but only if the charge became final. They said even if it's pending for 90 or 120 days, as long as the charge is pending, I cannot dispute it. So yes, Camp Lucy is a lovely place, but follow through on overpayments is severely lacking from either management or accounting.

Trattoria Lisina

Stunning experience…read more This place has to be some of the best food my wife and I have EVER had. We came here to celebrate our anniversary recently after a close friend recommended it. Normally when I hear Italian I think of American Italian - heavy, one note, and leaves you feeling terrible after. Trattoria Lisina was none of those things. First, the location is beautiful. The entire restaurant is surrounded by Texas hill country beauty. The restaurant balances class and cozy in a way hard to explain. The wait staff is excellent and knowledgeable on the menu. Even the small details like their uniforms were excellent. The food is hard to describe. My wife spent an hour post dinner discussing how incredible it was. Every dish we tried was perfection. The fried elements were crisp. The raw elements melted in your mouth like butter. The entrees were executed in a way I've never had pasta! We will absolutely make this our "special place" for life occasions moving forward.

We didn't have reservations but were easily seated. Based on other reviews it seems that might be a hit or miss experience. I'd probably make a reservation to be safe next time. The food really is just like Mandola's though I think I prefer Mandola's because it is more casual and the foot matches that vibe. I had a peach Bellini and it was ok, not as much peach as I expected. I then ordered a Sangria and it was very good. We had the artichoke fritters as an appetizer and they were really good, especially with the aioli. We had the bolognese with a side meatball. Very good but nothing mind blowing and gnocchi which was the real winner. It was creamy and full of flavor. The bread was good, solid focaccia. I also had a birthday gelato but was too full to eat much of it so they sent me home with a fresh order of it. My bolognese warmed up nicely for lunch the next day too. I actually thought it was better. Overall, a lovely evening. The ambiance is beautiful of course. We were confused by paper placemats and no linens for such a nice restaurant. The interior dining room was kept empty with them using only the dining room with a view. That was interesting. The menu overall seemed a bit limited but we enjoyed our food.

Thurman's Mansion

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.
