Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Say "I do" on 20 pastoral acres along the Pedernales River in the Texas Hill Country, exchanging vows beneath a rustic wooden arch right at the water's edge — once part of Willie Nelson's own riverfront retreat.
  • Hold your reception in the stunning Barn, with its 26-foot ceiling, an oversized chandelier, whitewashed shiplap walls, and an attached patio for stepping outside under the stars.
  • Make a weekend of it: settle into one of three on-site cottages — the Cozy, Sunshine, or Cuddle Cottage — and take advantage of true river access with a private boat launch, dock, and fishing pier.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Blissful Hill, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

At Blissful Hill in Spicewood, what's included depends on the package you pick, and every one can be customized from DIY to all-inclusive. The Silver Package covers the barn, tables, chairs and linens for 10 hours. Gold adds an overnight stay with lodging, a DJ, a bartender, flowers and centerpieces, and Platinum adds catering and tableware on top. The Dress and We Do the Rest Package includes everything in Platinum plus a day-of photographer and a wedding cake. Choose Silver and you'll line up catering, a bartender, a DJ and flowers yourself.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Blissful Hill, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, Blissful Hill hosts both, so your guests stay put all day. Ceremonies take place under a rustic wooden arch at the edge of the Pedernales River, and the reception moves into the white barn, with 26-foot ceilings, a 6-foot chandelier, whitewashed shiplap walls, a cocktail area and an attached patio. The barn seats up to 300. Upstairs is a bridal dressing area, and there's a groom's dressing area with a ping pong table.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Blissful Hill or do we have to use yours?

Yes, you can bring any vendor you like to Blissful Hill. Catering can be in-house or your own, and alcohol is BYO as long as a TABC-certified bartender serves it. If you'd like a head start, the preferred list includes TTAJ Services for catering, Elisha Kelch Photography, Blake Kelch Videography, DC Productions for DJ, Sugar Shaker Bakery, and Sunshine Girls for coordination and flowers. You'll also sit down with the venue's designer to choose your design elements.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Blissful Hill, and is there a minimum?

At Blissful Hill in Spicewood, packages run $4,000–25,000 per event. Where you land depends mostly on the package you choose: the Silver Package covers the barn, tables, chairs and linens for 10 hours, while Gold, Platinum and Dress and We Do the Rest layer in lodging, a DJ, a bartender, flowers, catering, a photographer and a cake. Every package can be customized, from DIY to all-inclusive. Since you can bring your own alcohol and any vendor you like, handling some pieces yourself is one way to keep the total down. You can make payments along the way, with the full balance due 30 days before your wedding.

How long do we get at Blissful Hill, and when does the music have to stop?

At Blissful Hill, the Silver Package gives you 10 hours, and the barn's end time is 11pm, so plan for the party to wrap by then. Amplified music is allowed inside the barn and outdoors, with some restrictions, and the barn comes with one handheld microphone. A dance floor is available on request, and DC Productions is on the venue's preferred list if you still need a DJ.

Where would our out-of-town guests stay near Blissful Hill, and can you help with a room block?

Yes, you can keep your favorite people right on the property at Blissful Hill. Lodging includes The Villa plus four cottages: Cuddle, Sunshine, Cozy and Blue Bird. Packages with an overnight stay (Gold, Platinum and Dress and We Do the Rest) include two nights. If some guests are road-tripping, there are two RV hook-ups on site, and pets are welcome as long as they're crated in the cottages and you pick up after them. The property covers 20 acres along the Pedernales River, with a private boat launch, dock and fishing pier for downtime between events.

What makes Blissful Hill different from the other venues near it?

Blissful Hill lets you bring any vendor you like and your own alcohol, or hand the whole day over with a package that goes all the way to all-inclusive. It sits on 20 acres on the Pedernales River in Spicewood, with a riverside ceremony arch, a white barn seating up to 300, and on-site lodging in The Villa and four cottages, with two nights included in overnight packages. Four generations of the family work every event. Between the dock, fishing pier and boat launch, the river is part of your weekend, not just the backdrop.
