Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set within a unique distillery which produces the boutique spirit sotol (made from the succulent of the same name), this open-concept venue captures the distinctive, stark beauty of Hill Country, as well as its gracious, festive soul.
- It’s got a cool “desert modern” design with whitewashed walls, weathered wood, and a beautiful wood-topped bar that runs along one entire wall. An attached patio offers still more space, with festoon lighting, misting fans, aerial heaters, and stylish outdoor furniture.
- The rental situation is super flexible—rent only the space you need, for the time you need. They’ve also got a stellar list of favorite local vendors, and an awesome staff of planners, servers, mixologists, and more to ensure your day is the best day ever.
