My daughter wanted a "spa party" for her birthday, and Austin Dream Factory delivered! The party went great! It was completely stress free for me(really!!), and the girls had such a wonderful time! They arrived on time, did all of the set up and clean up, and even had lunch for the girls that was tailored to my kiddo's favorite food! It was obvious that they wanted to be there, and are passionate about what they're teaching the girls, it's not just a business. I will definitely be using Austin Dream Factory again!

We came here to view the space on a Saturday. We spoke with Diana who showed us the lovely grounds…read more This place would be perfect for fall or spring. I'd be worried about having it in the winter of summer because of the set up but what really forces us to go another direction is there is a lot of restrictions with vendors. You are presented with a list of vendors you must use. The asterisks indicate which vendors are not up for discussion. The ones that are not with an asterisk are still required but if you stray from that list she must personally interview that vendor and each person must have a million dollar insurance policy. As a person who has no family in town and planning everything by ourselves we just didn't have the time to devote to some of those rules. We didn't really get to talk about much else as we spent so long talking about the rules and importance of the liability insurance that there wasn't time to talk about much else. The space was pretty, It was set us an open air venue that can be closed off with glass. Basically a blank canvas because it would be all glass. Off ot the side there is a big tree with a wooden dance floor that had christmas twinkly lights wrapped around the tree. Seemed it would be lovely. Especially for a couple that plans to wed and have reception there... equipped with rooms for the groomsmen (a ground floor location near the pool with tv and videogames and bridesmaids (which was upstairs.. dangerous for heels but very cute modern space) For our needs, just needing a reception space it was just not for us. Also, I mentioned that I knew a previous bride that wed there..and as she recalled her she said, "oh the plus size bride"... OMG I would die if anyone only remembered me as the PLUS SIZE BRIDE. I just wanted to be remembered as a beautiful bride.. size need not be noted.... thank you. For other brides out there.. it is a very beautiful space.. prices are reasonable based on your total number of guests! dont rule it out till you see it. Just because it wasn't for me.. doesn't meant it wont be for you!

We employed Svetlana to create a specific and detailed caricature piece that captured a funny…read moremoment a friend of ours experienced several weeks ago (so we could present it to our friend as a surprise). We provided her with some photos of our friend and provided a written description of the "moment" we were hoping to capture. She ultimately captured our friend AND the moment perfectly, and with tremendous detail and quality! Svetlana was very professional and responsive to our feedback through the process. We would absolutely consider employing her talents again, and we highly recommend her to others.

The event was only two hours and the guest list was extensive, so she worked with me to find a good timing to get as many people through her line as possible. We ended up with 90% of the attendees carrying out caricatures at the end of the night! Pro tip: the black and white caricatures are beautiful, classic, and can be drawn quicker!

She was a calm voice in the crazy that is the lead up to your wedding. She was also great to talk to about what was worth it to splurge on or that wouldn't be as important as memorable. Day of, Ally totally killed it. I didn't worry about ANYTHING. My florist had a new assistant and she didn't put enough ribbon on my bouquet and Ally flew into action and helped my bridesmaids locate my Tide Pen and the assistant to fix it right away (green from the stems got on my dress!) Ally made sure that we always had a drink in our hand (even though we barely got to drink any of them) and did such a great job corralling our insane family and hard partying guests. I'm so grateful to her! She made our wedding perfect!

Lauren is a creative spirit with extreme artistic talent and an eye for detail & decor. Her events showcase her talents while also staying true to the dreams of the client. Lauren is able to take a simple event such as a baby shower or gender reveal and turn it into something exquisite. The little creative, attentive details are what really makes these parties stand out. I was also a bridesmaid in a wedding that Lauren planned and it was amazing. She doesn't just sit back after the event is planned and do nothing. She is involved the entire time. She was literally glueing an eyelash back on me 5 minutes before we walked down the aisle. This wedding was lavish & extravagant and she & the bride collaborated beautifully. Lauren is your 100% go to for all your party needs. She will take your vision and make it a reality.

I had been in contact with Wendy throughout the whole process and she has been very quick to respond to messages and was flexible to our needs. I had reached out to a few staffing companies prior but decided on Hill Country because of their affordable rates and packages. We opted to do a buffet style dinner with a bartender, one lead kitchen, one lead server, and three servers. I'm so grateful to the whole team because I did not have to worry about the food, set-up, or clean-up, everything was taken care of in the back end and all I had to do was just enjoy my wedding. The team took care of setting up cocktail hour appetizers, getting the bar ready and serving drinks, serving guests in the buffet line, grabbing dirty plates, setting up desserts, cutting the cake, and cleaning up afterwards. Overall, my wedding went smoothly and I would like to give a big thank you to the team for making it a seamless event. Everyone was professional, on time, and personable and I wouldn't hesitate to book Hill Country again for another big event.

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.

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.
