Stuff to Do

  • Do 512 is a great guide for events happening around town
  • The Alamo Drafthouse is a great place to catch a flick and down a brew
  • The Bats come out at dusk!  You can watch them.
  • Austin boasts some of the most advanced Food Truck technology in the world.  Experience it.
  • Want to make sure your health regimen is maintained before consuming many festive calories?  Try SOUL CYCLE.  Grace recommends taking one of Christy’s classes.
  • There are some things to do in Dripping Springs, a nice hill country community out near where we’re having the ceremony.
  • South Congress is a great shopping street that is a lot like CaryTown. Grace recommends a stroll
  • Take a tour of the Texas Capitol!
  • If the weather is on the warm side, we recommend giving stand up paddle boarding a try.
  • Here is a list of recommended places to eat around town.
  • Take a hike around Lady Bird (Town) Lake
  •  Barton Springs  is a very popular swimming home. Be warned, the water temperature hovers between 68 and 74 degrees year round.
  • Go see some art at the Blanton Art Museum
  • Austin and the surrounding Hill Country is dotted with really unique and fun breweries. Deep Eddy Vodka also has a distillery right outside of Dripping Springs
  • Rent a bike. Be careful though, Austin drivers drive like they have nothing to lose

 

  • IMPORTANT!!

Travelling guests, please be advised – the trees here will try to kill you, and most of the wedding will be outside.  Protect yourself!  Even if you’ve never had allergies before.  The pollen here in April is really something special.

 

 

Y’all, the traffic here is bad.

We are a big city driving on roads designed for a small town. Folks here don’t like turn signals, but they sure do love cutting across 3 lanes of traffic right in front of you and then slamming on their brakes. If you are renting a car, please be alert and don’t touch your phone (it’s illegal!).
