This Texan styled wedding ranch is tucked in the heart of Dripping Springs near Austin. I went there for a friend's wedding on a Saturday. The place itself can be hard to find, given that it is in the middle of nowhere and the signs are easy to miss. There is a decent parking lot for about 25ish cars in the front and more parking in the back which is a plus. The walkway is full cobbles so can be hard to walk on in heels. The indoor venue is warmly lit and has very Texan barn kind of vibes. It was good for a wedding but I am not sure what else does it have to offer apart from that. read more

I recently attended Vista West Ranch for a wedding. There were a lot of out of town guests and everyone who worked there was so accommodating! The venue is absolutely stunning!! The property is one of the most beautiful in the hill country, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. The bride and groom were over the moon about the whole experience. If you want a beautiful place with a lot of inclusions this is for you. You won't be disappointed! read more

Vista West Ranch was my dream venue for both my ceremony and reception. I had been following it on Pinterest for years. So, when we stopped by for an Open House, I was sold immediately. Be prepared to have a long wait if you want to get married here! The waiting period was about 18 months when we booked in January 2016, but it was totally worth it. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, it comes with several perks (DJ, Bartenders, and a Coordinator). Having a coordinator the day of my wedding absolutely was a godsend. She works with you and handles so many things that could and do go wrong on your wedding day. The DJ and Bartenders were great and very easy to work with too. Note - Bartenders included as part of package are just for the labor worked. It does not include the glasses, mixers, alcohol., etc. Also, another side note - If you are planning on booking VWR, I recommend working with their floral company, Petal Pushers, because they really know how to make the venue shine. The Vista West Ranch team was always professional and willing to answer my questions promptly. They were flexible with some of my requests and were a pleasure to work with. Joe and Stacy have created the perfect wedding venue. The ceremony site is perfectly placed to see the sunset under some shaded trees, and the air-conditioned (important!) barn is unique and beautiful. It includes so many decor features already and really stands on its own (which will save you $$ on decor!) With Vista West, you get access to the venue starting at 2pm on Saturday. This did slightly impact our timeline because it was impossible for us to get our hair and makeup done at onsite due to the number of girls (6 getting hair/makeup done including bride). So, we just had our hair done offsite in the morning and got our makeup done in the bridal suite after arriving at 2pm. You are able to add more hours with VWR for an additional cost. Overall, my husband and I loved our experience with VWR and we feel like it was completely worth it. It helped us have our dream wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision to book it. read more

Disheartening I would CAUTION any bride/groom or organizer who is considering having an event at either the Creek Haus or Vista West Ranch, both of which are owned by Stacey and Joe. My fiancé and I enjoyed working with them in the beginning - they were friendly, helpful and responsive. But when the pandemic hit, that changed. We understood that the world was in a peculiar place when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and companies were struggling, but at the end of the day you hope people will do the right thing, SADLY the Creek Haus and Vista West Ranch did NOT! Our destination wedding was to be in November 2020 in Dripping Springs, Texas (we live in Northern California). As nurses working on the frontlines of the pandemic, we had the foresight to reach out to our venue in May 2020 to postpone our wedding to 2021. If you look at the timeline May 8th 2020 - Texas surpassed 1,000 COVID-19 deaths. On June 3rd, Phase 3 of reopening began, however, on June 19th Texas surpassed 100,000 COVID 19 cases. Stacey and Joe were not understanding or sympathetic to our concerns. They were unwilling to postpone our wedding to 2021 without an additional 50% of our original venue cost ($26,000), totaling an additional $13,000. We tried to make appeals to their sense of human decency and compassion but the Southern Hospitality they tout all melted away. It became all about business and money. We were asked to continue paying the remaining $13,000 balance due for our wedding in November 2020. All of our guests were traveling from out of state to Texas for our wedding - from New York, Georgia, Montana and California.  There were too many uncertainties in this situation, we were ultimately forced to cancel our wedding at both venues, and we lost our deposit of $13,000. A few months after terminating our contract, I attempted contact with the venue because I saw they actually booked a wedding on the Friday we would have been on their property for our wedding weekend. I asked them to reconsider giving us some of the $13,000 back as they were able to recuperate some of the money, but they never even responded. At the end of the day this family (and their multiple companies and business ventures) is looking out for only them and not their client, so BE WARY! We hope no couple has had to/ or will ever have to go through this devastation of having your wedding derailed by whatever is going on in the world and then being out over $13,000 for what was supposed to be your special day and now leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth. read more

what a Beautiful venue!! such attention to detail. very personal tour from Brittany. Love all the cottages gardens and reception hall absolutely both venues are AMAZING. highly recommend checking out Vista Ranch read more

I did finally hear back from VWR (right after I wrote my original post). My husband and I were informed that we would not be getting any portion of our deposit back for 4 various reason the owner's husband stated in an e-mail. I can personally say that 3 of the reasons he used were completely false and unsubstantiated. The fourth reason (candle wax on linens) I can neither confirm, nor deny, as I wasn't there during the clean up. I'll just repeat what I said in my previous review - make sure that you get EVERYTHING in writing. The family which owns VWR is very nice, and we took their word for a lot of things during our planning. It seems to me that they will tell you what you want to hear up front, but then pretend like they have no recollection of that conversation later. I would not recommend VWR to any of my friends who are getting married...and I think that says it all. read more

I'm getting married on September 24, 2011. Swoon. Vista West is dreamy, southern, beautiful - all of the characterists I've dreamed of since I was a little girl. Since I haven't gotten married, yet, this review is more about the customer service. Cindy, the owner, is nothing short of fabulous. She is quick to respond by email, full of answers and to top it off, her family exudes wedding family - one of her daughters owns and operates the famous Petal Pushers and her other daughter, a bartending company called Served. More soon. Check out their beautiful website in the interim. read more

Let me start by saying Vista West Ranch is a gorgeous venue that has a lot to offer but I would agree that everything needs to be in writing. The venue was sold in the middle of our planning and they started adding and changing contracts so there was a lot of confusion about what was and was not included in our contract. Like basic lighting... Not included! I'm just saying... Would we pick vista west again? Yes because we loved our wedding and the venue was perfect for what we wanted but for the amount of money you pay for the venue I feel more customer service is needed. read more

My husband & I live in New York, so trying to find our venue was nerve wracking, especially knowing we wouldn't be able to see the space before making the final decision. VWR was the first venue I saw when we began searching for the perfect place to say "I do." I knew instantly this was the one. While we were waiting for a dispensation from the Catholic church, Joe was incredibly helpful & accommodating. Our communications through e-mail were clear, timely & extremely friendly! My father took over communications with Joe early on to help with delegating, & the two of them hit it off right away! Joe was wonderful & gave us a special tour of the venue when we were down for the holidays & all his information was clear & very helpful. Afterward, if there was any question I had, I knew I only needed to send Joe a quick e-mail & he would answer almost immediately. From my personal experience as a bride, good communication was one of the main things that helped ease my mind with all of my vendors. VWR delivers that with flying colors! The venue offers several sleeping accommodations, which were wonderful for large families & wedding parties. Definitely take advantage of the bunk house & the family house located on the property! And of course the honeymoon cottage! They also work very closely with several other services: bartending, chair set up & tear down, florist, wedding coordinator, DJ, & much more! They have great packages, & wonderful suggestions of other vendors. When we're asked "How was everything?" we can't say anything other than "perfect." We felt so taken care of & it felt like family. Our flowers were beautiful, the venue is gorgeous all on it's own, & the flexibility of everyone made the day feel as stress-free as it possibly could have been. We received so much feedback from friends & family saying the venue was beautiful and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Thank you for making our special day even more amazing! read more

I just got married at Vista West Ranch and it was a dream. Everything was so lovely. Down to the super green grass in the ceremony area to the cute secret bridal loft. Cindy an her husband were amazing, super helpful and supportive. I received so many compliments in how this was an absolute perfect place to get married. They really thought of everything here at Vista to awesome photo ops (2 old cars!) to a charming chandeliers hanging in the trees. My wedding was nothing short of perfect and i can't wait to see my pictures. Plus it was supposed to rain on the day of my wedding but Cindy said it never rains for her weddings and she was right!! It didn't yay!! read more

Vista West Ranch - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Dripping Springs, Texas

Dear Brian and Cindy (Stacey and Joe, too!), We met you in April of 2011. Kayla, our daughter, said she wanted a "Texas, Hill Country, barn wedding." Since Kayla lives in Memphis, she had found you on-line, but being native Texans ourselves, we understood her desire. Well, we were at your unique property within 18 hours! After we had some sweeeet conversation, wine and cheese, it became clear to us this WAS the place our daughter was to be married! We booked on the spot, without the bride even seeing the property. Six months later when Kayla was able to visit and see her venue in person, her first remark was, "This is exactly what I envisioned!" Every promise you gave us was kept. There was never any quibbling about a single thing. You became our friends, and for that we are forever grateful! With love, James and Janeil McCrury read more

It's about an hour away from Austin plan accordingly!! The wedding here was beautiful! The staff was great as well if you are looking to have a hill country feeling wedding this is the place to do it at. It is a little far if most of your peeps are coming from Austin but worth the drive. read more

Great place for a wedding! Many scenic and memorable places on this property make it a win win! The bunk house which is reserved mainly for the guys is a great place to relax! Be sure to get a picture next to the old jalopy. I was at my sister-law's wedding and I filmed the whole thing. read more

Vista West Ranch - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Dripping Springs, Texas

This past weekend I was in a wedding here and really enjoyed most things about this venue. Yes it is a little bit out from civilization but that was actually great, it allowed us to focus on the occasion at hand and not the hustle and bustle of life around us. Really enjoyed that we (the bridesmaids and bride) could all stay on the grounds the night before in the bunk house, it was our final slumber party with our bride and that made it so special. Only downside is there was NO cell service whatsoever in the bunk house but luckily as soon as you stepped out of it you quickly regained service. The hotel near by has a shuttle to accommodate guests. Plenty of parking on site, so many beautiful areas for pictures. A grand slam in my opinion when it comes to venues. read more

I don't even know where to begin, I have been in love with VWR since I saw photos of it online and let me tell you, photos don't even do it justice. You have to see this place in person if you get the chance. This beautiful hidden gem in Dripping Springs, TX speaks for itself, you can decorate it to the nine or leave it simple, it's perfect and it smells amazing everywhere all the time (I don't know how they do it!) My brand new husband and I had the honor and privilege to have our wedding at VWR this July and it was absolutely perfect. I was skeptical about the heat in July in TX, but it was the only date they had available until 2017 because they are a hot commodity(no pun intended) By the way, the heat didn't bother us much at all because of all of the shade and gorgeous trees surrounding the area. From the flowers from Petal Pushers, the day of coordinator Bri who made sure that everything went right and everyone was where they needed to be and on time, the DJ, the bartenders, the onsite accommodations for family and your wedding party, we absolutely could not have asked for anything more from a wedding venue. The owners Joe and Stacey go out of their way to make sure you find everything you need down to your caterer, flowers, (PETAL PUSHERS!!) or even a ride to get your family to and from the venue safely and within whatever your budget may have. They really make you feel like you're part of their family. To sum it up, we couldn't have asked for anything more from Vista West Ranch, and I wish we could go back and do it again because the only complaint I have is that the day went by in the blink of an eye! read more

I just got married here on September 21. It is the most beautiful place to get married at. Not only that, Joe and Stacey, who run this venue are some of the nicest people I have ever met. We rented the housing that is available on the property and it is all so wonderfully decorated, it feels like home. Joe an Stacey are so accommodating, they start to feel like family. My husband and I wanted to move in the next morning. It was hard to leave!! You should definitely look at this place if you are planning on getting married in Texas!! read more

My husband and I got married at Vista West back in April 2017 and couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. We knew from the second we found Vista West online that this was going to be our wedding venue. We did a tour at one of their open houses and booked on the spot, plus we found a ton of other great vendors we ended up working with. The whole team is amazing, the venue is gorgeous, and every single thing about our wedding day was so great. If you are thinking about having your wedding here, book it right now! I wish I could go back and do it all over again read more

05/18. Toured & impressed that VWR doesn't believe in "nickel and diming" over extra expenses. Venue included DJ, bartender, & day of coordinator. Paid in full & signed a contract for 250 attendance 1/5/19 wedding. In July, attend an open house, won hour early check in for day of wedding. Also, booked all cabins for night of wedding. At tour, Joe mentions transitioning round tables to farmhouse. Says they were surveying current brides & should know soon. September, email asking status on tables so we know how to decorate. Receive an email back, "haven't decided yet". October, schedule to go back out to do floor plan. Shelby greets us & is super helpful. Informs us still not sure on table situation. We also share we are very concerned on time frame to decorate due to 4:00 Saturday wedding & ask if we can set up day before. She says "as long as there is not a Friday wedding, NO problem & we can reserve 3 months prior at no charge". October 5, email VWR to reserve Friday to decorate & schedule rehearsal. A return email from Nicki replies "you have 1 hour per our agreement for rehearsal and to decorate. After that they we will lock the door." I email Nicki that we had spoken with Shelby, 1 hour was simply not enough time for us to set up, decorate, and rehearse. We kindly requested 2-3 hours & Shelby said that it was Ok & no charge. Receive an email from Joe, Shelby no longer there and he would ok it but was not giving us "free reign of the venue. We needed to make sure that the vendors VWR was providing was not going to charge us extra for our earlier than usual wedding". Yes, the wedding was going to be a little earlier, but also ending earlier. Same time as stated in contract. SO, we had no idea what he meant. November, email from Bar Butlers RECOMMENDING an added bar assistant. DECEMBER 14th, FINALLY find out for sure farmhouse tables! Email from Bar Butlers REQUIRING an extra bartender and bar assistant for 250 count wedding, extra $500. Our count never changed from our original signed contract. VWR does not forward the contract to Bar Butlers! Bar Butlers did send a questionnaire email a week after booking the venue with specific questions. However, this early did not know the answers. JANUARY 4TH, arrive at 1 to decorate & set up as approved by Joe on October 5th. Ashley, (another new name!) greets my friends. Asks what we are doing there & informs us we aren't to be there until our rehearsal time at 3:00. She calls Joe, tells her it's ok but to be sure & let us know it's a COURTESY he is giving 1 time. (I Email Ashley after wedding.I received approval from Joe. Responds rudely "Yes, it was I who spoke to your guest as I was in the middle of a tour and we had you on calendar for Saturday for early check-in at 1pm not on calendar for Friday prior to your rehearsal. I contacted Joe immediately & he didn't know anything about it but allowed you access since everyone was there and my tour was wrapping up". I forwarded the email thread that Joe & I had. Tone softened quickly with "Thank you for sending that over there was no indication on our calendar & when I contacted Joe he was unaware of it I'm sorry for the miscommunication since I was not informed about it.) WEDDING DAY! Day of coordinator, DJ, & Bar Butlers was good! Bridal Suite was dirty. No toilet paper, no paper towels. Our caterer was set up under trees by fire pit. Also had s'mores & hot cocoa bar. ALL light bulbs along side of building were burned out. DARK! Caterers & our guests could not see, especially elderly. S'mores & hot cocoa bar hardly got touched! Told coordinator, but nothing done. Many people complained. Much food & drink wasted because no one saw it. Wedding ended at 10, had till midnight. Coordinator had everyone loading all our stuff on tables outside & getting us locked out of venue by 11, or we would be charged extra! Won early check in at open house, didn't get relayed to coordinator. SO much miscommunication & fear of extra fees. We were shorted an hour, & stuck with a HUGE mess of decorations outside & locked out of venue! VWR cabins. Bedding had not been changed in months. In addition, there are signs everywhere, "IF YOU ARE STILL HERE WHEN CLEANING CREW ARRIVES, YOU WILL BE CHARGED OR YOU HAVE TO HELP CLEAN!" Was told by coordinator to make sure everything was picked up including all flower petals or it would be deducted from our deposit. Did receive our full deposit back, took 4 weeks! Ashley told me it would be cut on the 15th. Then, she told me on the 27th, wasn't sure what happened to it. Then, Joe said the accountant had been sick so he went down, signed it & it would go out in the mail. Right hand never knew what the left hand was doing. Joe had to be involved in everything, but too busy with 3 venues & brewery. It appears to be all about the money. "Get one wedding in & out, and the next one coming in". As we were driving out, the next wedding family was pulling in to unload. read more

Where do I even begin? I knew I loved VWR the moment I stumbled upon their website and then even more so when I went to visit the property for the first time. Joe gave us a tour and I could vividly imagine the fun and celebration we wanted to have taking place right where I was standing. Needless to say, we booked with VWR the next day. They respond to emails in a timely manner. They provide WONDERFUL preferred vendors. The vendors that are included in the package go above and beyond and provide awesome guidance. I would HIGHLY recommend VWR for your wedding and reception location. The grounds are beautiful and my dreams really did come true. Thank you for everything! read more

We initially stopped at VWR because we were in Dripping Springs looking at another wedding venue that I thought I had my heart set on. When I found out how much *wasn't* included at that venue and how limited we were in using their specific vendors, we decided to stop at VWR on the way home. I am SO glad we did. As soon as we met up with Brieann who showed us around, I was impressed. She was warm and welcoming and the entire staff seemed so easy going. The venue is drop dead gorgeous, but it's the service that really made us decide to go with them. They include so much in their package and are really easy going as far as whatever decor you want to bring and vendors you choose. They even said that we could bring in the alcohol a few days before so that we wouldn't have to worry about it on the big day. Communication was always fast and efficient and I never felt like I was bugging them when I had questions or needed something. All of their included vendors (DJ, bartenders, and coordinator) were prefect and just as easy to work with as the VWR staff was. Payments were easy and the on site lodging is awesome too! Our guests are still raving about the venue! It flows so nicely from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, and it is spacious without feeling too spaced out. There is also a bar area in the Biergarten for cocktail hour, and firepits if you wish to have them lit! The bunk house for the guys is awesome, as is the bridal suite for the girls. And the photo opportunities are endless! Trust me when I say your photographer will love you if you pick this venue! Thank you so much VWR for making our wedding day absolutely perfect and for making us feel so special! read more

I discovered Vista West Ranch from photos that I saw on Pinterest! Since I was doing a destination wedding in Austin, I had to rely on photos and reviews to pick my wedding venue. I loved the vintage-chic feel that venue portrayed in all of the photos that I saw. When I researched the venue further, I found that their pricing included a location for the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception, chairs, tables, linens, DJ services, a Day-Of Coordinator, bartending services and getting ready rooms for both the bride and groom and their bridal parties. Since I was planning our wedding from California, I found this to be incredibly helpful. I highly recommend using vendors off of their preferred vendor list if you want to make it easy for yourself. It was so nice having all of my vendors familiar with the location and accustomed to working with each other. After booking the venue, I decided to attend one of their open house events to finish finding my vendors and to see the property in person. Vista West Ranch far exceeded my already high expectations. The location is even more beautiful in person that it is in photos. The rustic barn, vintage cars and beautiful grounds are so picturesque that you don't have to spend a lot on additional decor. Joe was great to work with and always answered all of my emails in a timely manner. We had family and friends traveling from all over the world, so it was a wonderful feeling when they arrived at the venue and could not stop raving about how incredibly beautiful the location is. Important things to know when making your decision: You can bring in your own alcohol which saves a lot of money (well, at least in California it does). Served Bartending has a great liquor store they will put you in contact with to purchase alcohol and they offer an incredible discount through Served. Another thing to know, Vista West Ranch is located about 40 minutes outside of Austin. This didn't bother me at all but you need to know so you can plan accordingly for your guests. We really wanted to stay in Austin so we hired a shuttle bus to drive the guests and bridal party back and forth but they do have closer hotel options in Dripping Springs; listed on their preferred vendor list. Another thing to know, since Texas weather is so unpredictable, VWR has a very easy rain plan if needed. On the day of our rehearsal it was raining off and on all day so we discussed the backup plan just in case. The weather turned out to be beautiful and we were able to have our ceremony outside, but this is just nice to know that you don't have to rent tents or switch anything major if it rains. If you are looking for a vintage-chic style wedding for an incredible price where your photos will be breathtaking and your vendors are easy to work with then Vista West Ranch is the place for you! Thank you VWR, Joe & Stacey for helping make our wedding day perfect!! read more

We held my daughter's wedding at Vista West Ranch last weekend. The venue is absolutely beautiful; we received many compliments from guests about how perfect it was. We did a lot of research on venues and selected Vista West Ranch as a perfect fit for the wedding "personality" my daughter and her fiance wanted. Other than the setting, one other major reason we selected them is that they offer a list of recommended vendors, but do not require you to use them. I rated it a 4 out of 5 stars for the following reasons: 1) The day of coordinator did not provided much value add. I had to request that she start the cake cutting, to which she responded, "We can do that now if you like." as if we didn't have a timeline to go by. Other than ensuring that people walked down the aisle at the proper time, she seemed to be waiting to be asked to do things instead of proactively taking charge. As a result, I spent the reception ensuring things went according to the schedule instead of enjoying the time with friends and family. 2) We were told a couple of times that it was important that we have the kegs onsite 24 hours in advance, but when we showed up on Friday with the kegs and wine, we were initially told by our coordinator that "We don't have room for them" because of the wedding Friday night. During the time we were brainstorming about what we could do, our coordinator told us "I' am working the wedding tonight and could try to keep an eye on them." We ended up making room in the cooler and labeling everything with our names. Since the venue regularly has 2-3 weddings per weekend, this couldn't possibly be the first time this happened. 3) One big regret is that while cleaning up, our friends and family put all the floral/table decorations on a big table to the side as instructed by the coordinator. Because I was busy taking care of other details, we failed to bring home my daughter's bouquet. While we never asked her to remind us to take them, I feel that as the experienced person, she should have known to at least ask if we wanted the flowers. 4) Overage charge for over 150 guests. I'm not sure why this is necessary because having more than 150 doesn't require any additional effort on their part as far as I can tell. Would I select this venue again, definitely I would just go in with the correct expectations. read more

This review is long overdue as the wedding took place in April. No doubt VWR is a beautiful venue. However I would recommend putting everything in writing. There were items discussed that were not done the day of the wedding. Casey Whitlock the coordinator all of a sudden could not remember things that were discussed a week prior and was a little short with the bride's family. Needless to say it had created stress. There were confusions and last minute decisions. Joe was more than happy to make concessions. Also they took away our drinks after 10 pm before we were ready to leave. Overall the wedding was beautiful. It just needed a little more customer service. read more

This venue is beautiful, fell in love with it the moment I saw it! They were very responsive and had great relationships with both their in house vendors and the ones from around town we used which made for stress free planning and a very smooth wedding weekend! I recommend staying overnight if you want to hang out and relax afterwards! They include a lot of things in the package price, so while it was more than we budgeted for a venue it worked with our overall budget and how easy they made everything was well worth it! read more

This is a beautiful venue. The staff was great. It is NOT handicapped friendly. I am in a wheelchair, no ramps! For the outdoor ceremony I had to set apart from the rest of guests on a patio. The cocktail hour was outdoors and I could not access that area. Felt very isolated. The bathroom is not accessible because the toilet is very low and no railings or grab bars. read more

Beautiful venue in the Texas Hill Country!! Great service and accommodations!! read more

Beautiful wedding venue in the Texas Hill Country. Lovely outdoor setting and rustic feel in the barn. Casual elegance at its finest. Charming! read more

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with my review because our wedding left us completely speechless. We had our wedding at The Creek Haus on June 4, 2016. Our wedding weekend was picture perfect; everything we dreamed about and more. Joe, Stacey and the whole team were fabulous to work with. Whenever we had questions, they were easily accessible and provided quick responses. They checked on us throughout the weekend and ensured everything was going smoothly. They provided above and beyond, more than excellent, customer service. They are flexible, eager to please, passionate, fun and caring people who truly want your big day to be as special as possible. There are no words that can perfectly describe them and express our appreciation for the amount of kindness and care they showed us. Additionally, what I think is so truly special about them, is how they made us feel. They made us feel like we were the only ones they were helping to plan a wedding despite them having two or three weddings each weekend! That is a rarity and truly reflects the kind of people they are and how passionate they are about the work they do. I also want to highlight the amazing work of Jaime Dydalewicz. She was our wedding coordinator and she did a phenomenal job of bringing everything together and keeping it all seamless. Outside of the amazing customer service, let me talk about the perfection that is The Creek Haus. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but it is extremely convenient. I've been in several weddings where the wedding parties are traveling from place to place to get ready for the ceremony and reception. Here, at The Creek Haus, there is no travel; all the vendors come to you. I cannot emphasize how easy and smooth the day of the wedding was. I felt relaxed and stress-free the entire day! Also, something that is wonderfully unique about The Creek Haus is the amount of contingency plans for bad weather. Texas is known for being extremely unpredictable when it comes to weather. Sure enough, it upheld its reputation and provided us with a brief downpour two hours before our ceremony. However, I was not concerned at all because we had a plan A, B and C! When planning a Texas wedding, the biggest piece of advise I received was that I needed to love the venue's contingency plans. The Creek Haus has great backup plans. There really is not a bad view on site - even if you were to end up inside. I truly want to thank The Creek Haus team for making our wedding perfect and unforgettable. It's taken me some time to write this review and find the right words to paint the perfect picture. But what's best about writing this review later is that I can honestly share that our friends and family are still raving about our wedding. They continue to tell us that our wedding was the absolute best wedding they have ever attended and the location was out of this world beautiful. It's obvious that my husband and I will never forget this weekend and it makes things that much sweeter when our friends and family tell us that they too will never forget our magical wedding weekend at The Creek Haus. read more

Vista West and it's staff were simply amazing! Right from the beginning they made planning the wedding simple and enjoyable. They were always easy to get ahold of and very organized and were always helpful with anything we needed. The open houses they hold throughout the year with vendors were full of good ideas and were generally fun to go to since you get to eat and have a drink or two. On the day of our wedding, the venue was beautiful, and our friends and family could not have been any more impressed. The ceremony went great and was well organized from the start. The biergarten was a perfect setting for the cocktail hour and really got things started and got the guests loosened up. After that we had people on the dance floor literally all night thanks to Brandon Shabazz of Premier Entertainment Group our DJ. Those who wanted to relax were hanging out by the fire pit having a few drinks and socializing. It had something for everyone. Brittany, Vista West's day of coordinator, was just awesome. We can't thank her enough. She took all the stress out of the day and was able to handle any of the issues that came up. She kept the wedding moving along and was super friendly and professional the entire time. Thank you Brittany! To sum it all up, Vista West was perfect in every way we could have imagined for our wedding. You guys are awesome. read more

This venue was absolutely perfect in every way! The owners were more than accommodating to everything I needed and worked with me in making my wedding day very special! The venue also offers a lot as far as what is included which really helped in outsourcing vendors. They also had the best layout of the bride and groom dressing room which was really great the day of getting ready! I had a few or more of my guest say that ours wedding was the prettiest location they had ever been to. It was like getting married in a dream! read more

Got married here 12/27/15. BEST decision of my life. Everything was perfect and I was able to focus on what is important instead of minute details. Absolutely love this place. read more

Here are our thoughts about our daughter's wedding at VWR last month: It was a Magical!!! Damn near flawless thanks to VWR and it staff. On scale of 1 to 10, VWR is an 11! The venue was beautiful and welcoming both day and night. Stacy & Joe and their staff are very accommodating. Like other reviewers have said, "they treat you like family." Better yet, they operate VWR by the Golden Rule. "Treat others as you would want to be treated." The Venue offers a nice representation of "Shabby Chic" and extremely versatile. VWR's approved venders, such as Verdes Mexican Parrilla, Petal Pushers, Bar Butlers, Complete of Austin (the DJ) and Coordinate This were superb, very professional, reliable, and customer oriented. Can't say enough about the vendors, especially Kimberly, our day -of coordinator, and Alanna from Verdes. VWR gives you a bang for the bucks! We would do it all over again at VWR in a heartbeat!! read more

Our daughter had a very specific vision for what her special wedding venue would look like, given she wanted to wear an elegant dress and cowboy boots! VWR filled the bill perfectly, as it is the perfect blend of elegance and rustic beauty! From the outdoor ceremony area to the elegant barn-style indoor reception hall, bridal chamber, men's bunk house, etc. it all came together to create the perfect evening! The staff was easy to work with, responsive when we had questions, and nothing was left to chance so we had no unexpected surprises! Thank you, Vista West Ranch! read more

I felt major anxiety planning our 200 guest wedding. My worries were completely eased after meeting Joe and touring Vista West Ranch. I immediately fell in love with the venue and also appreciated Joe's laid back, yet professional, attitude. Joe took his time answering questions and concerns, gave our family a second tour, and always made you feel that your day was his top concern. Vista West Ranch offers a remarkable bridal suite, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony site under live oak trees, a cocktail hour in their lovely biergarten, and a beautiful reception space. The VWR package includes linens, tables, chairs, day of wedding coordinator, bartenders, and DJ. While the package may seem like a shot in the dark, I couldn't have asked for any better-all were equally amazing! There are also accommodations for your wedding party and a honeymoon cottage at reasonable prices. I cannot thank Joe and his team enough for the flawless and fabulous work and for allowing me to enjoy the happiest day of my life. read more

We highly recommend booking Vista West Ranch for your wedding! Joe and Stacey were incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind throughout the whole planning process (despite our many questions). We were planning the wedding from another state and that was no problem at all. The venue is perfect for a rustic, Texas style affair! read more

Thank you to the Vista West Ranch team for a perfect venue for our wedding. All of our guests enjoyed the setting.

I can't say enough good things about Vista West Ranch. While I originally thought it might be too far out from Austin to consider, as soon as I saw it I knew it was going to be the venue for our day. Joe was fantastic to work with from day one as were all the vendor partners. Since I was planning from out of state (I'm a temporarily displaced Texan) having the DJ, coordinator and bar staff all very familiar with the venue and packaged together was a huge help. Great responsiveness and service and the perfect setting for us! read more

Vista West Ranch was one of literally dozens of venues we looked at in the greater Austin area; even after our initial tour, I could not stop thinking about this venue. The packaged experience (with day of coordinator, DJ, bartenders, tables/chairs/linens) made my life SO much easier while navigating the 1.5 years we spent planning our big day! It is a beautiful venue with tons of great photo ops ranging from the reception barn to the biergarten to two old rusty vehicles that fit right in with our Texas Hill Country wedding vision. The whole VWR team was so responsive to emails, phone calls, etc. We received numerous compliments from friends and family over how unique the venue was. We opted to stay on site afterwards to continue the celebration with our closest friends and I can honestly say the whole experience will be one I will never forget. Thank you again! read more
