Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- You're treated to bird's-eye views of Lake Travis from this top-floor space. Located on the grounds of Highland Lakes Golf Course, it's an easy drive from Austin but offers visitors the peace and privacy of a Hill Country getaway.
- Both your ceremony and reception can be held on the airy Terrace. It's fully covered by an elegant wood pergola (no need to worry about the weather!), and low glass barriers along the perimeter guarantee the view is never obstructed.
- You'll be treated to spectacular sunset views, even from inside. The expansive reception space is blessed with contemporary wood ceilings, iron chandeliers, and massive, floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a unique sky-high indoor/outdoor vibe.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers
At The Terrace at Highland Lakes in Lago Vista, Texas, venue rental is $3,000 Monday–Thursday, $3,500 Friday or Sunday and $4,000 Saturday. From there, you'll build your package: catering runs $33–$67 per person, beverage service $24–$52 per person, and vendor services $2,000–$6,950. Friday–Sunday dates require a vendor services minimum, and a 22% service charge, sales tax and a refundable rental deposit are added on top. With room for up to 120 guests, it's a smart pick if you want a lake view on a smaller budget, and it's worth asking about seasonal savings, too.
The Terrace at Highland Lakes is an all-inclusive venue, so your rental covers planning services, your ceremony and reception spaces, a backup plan for bad weather, primary and secondary wedding suites, and a one-hour rehearsal. Tables, chairs, linens, cocktail tables and display easels are included, along with setup and teardown of your floor plan. What you'll add: a catering package, a beverage package and vendor services (think florals, photography and a DJ), plus a 22% service charge, sales tax and a refundable rental deposit.
Yes, both happen in one spot. You'll say your vows outside on the terrace, beneath a wood pergola with low glass barriers that keep the Lake Travis view wide open. Then everyone steps inside to the reception hall, with wood-paneled ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the sunset. The Terrace at Highland Lakes hosts up to 120 guests.
You'll use the in-house team for catering and bar service, and all alcohol is purchased through the venue and served by TABC-licensed staff. For everything else, you can bring your own vendors, as long as each one provides a signed indemnification agreement and a certificate of insurance before your wedding. Prefer fewer contracts? Walters' vendor packages bundle florals, photography, DJ services, cakes and more. Just know that Friday–Sunday dates require a minimum vendor services purchase.
There's no lodging on site, but several hotels are within a 15-minute drive, and your Walters team will talk through accommodation options with you. The Terrace sits in Lago Vista near Cedar Park and Leander, less than an hour north of downtown Austin, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is less than an hour away.
The Terrace at Highland Lakes is an all-inclusive venue built for weddings of up to 120 guests, set on the top floor overlooking Lake Travis in Lago Vista, Texas. Planning services, two wedding suites, your rehearsal and a weather backup plan are built in, and catering, bar and vendor packages come from one team under one contract. The view is the headline: a pergola-covered terrace with glass barriers for your ceremony, then a reception hall with floor-to-ceiling windows. It's less than an hour from downtown Austin.
