A Summer Addison Grove Wedding in the Texas Hill Country
An Addison Grove wedding is a beautiful choice for couples planning an outdoor wedding in the Texas Hill Country. With dedicated spaces for ceremonies, receptions, and cocktail hour all on one property, it’s a venue where gorgeous scenery, convenience and variety all converge. Located just outside Austin, The Addison Grove is known for its oak grove setting and thoughtfully designed layout. The space makes it easy to focus on people, connection, and being present.
You may even find a unique detail at The Addison Grove that helps weave a part of you into your wedding day. For University of Texas alumni, the venue is home to longhorns, a nod to your iconic University of Texas mascot that adds a personal touch on site and make you feel right at home.
Amanda and Caleb’s summer wedding reflects how weddings at The Addison Grove are perfect for couples who want their day to be rooted in faith and meaning. As a local girl and Texas A&M alum, Amanda knew that she wanted a venue that felt close to home and focused on the people and the community that have been so important to them in their journey. The Addison Grove provided a gorgeous setting that allowed what mattered most to take center stage.
We’d love to give couples a closer look at what planning an Addison Grove wedding actually looks like, including the ceremony and reception spaces on-site, guest capacity, and how the venue’s layout supports a smooth, intentional wedding day. We hope it will help make clear why The Addison Grove works so well for couples who care about presence, flow, and a meaningful experience for their guests.

Why Couples Love The Addison Grove Wedding Venue
One of the defining features that makes The Addison Grove unique as a wedding venue is the oak grove itself. Beautiful Austin oaks surround the property, creating a sense of privacy that’s rare for a venue so close to the city. The ceremony space is intentionally set within the trees, which naturally separates it from the rest of the property and gives the space a quiet, tucked-away feeling.
For Amanda and Caleb, this setting felt especially meaningful. Their ceremony took place surrounded by the oaks, and the space carried a reverent and peaceful tone that perfectly reflected their faith-centered approach to marriage.
From a planning perspective, The Addison Grove is also incredibly functional. The layout flows well from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, which helps the day move naturally without a lot of logistical friction. That flow matters more than most couples realize. It’s often the difference between a day that feels rushed and one that feels grounded.

Getting ready space

The Grove: An outdoor ceremony space set beneath mature oak trees. It’s a naturally private setting surrounded by beautiful greenery, and our personal favorite spot for a wedding ceremony. This area works especially well for couples who want an outdoor ceremony that feels intentional and tucked away.
The Pond: A second outdoor ceremony option overlooking the pond, offering a more open backdrop while still feeling connected to the surrounding landscape.
Indoor ceremony option: Couples also have the option to host their ceremony indoors within the venue’s main event space if weather or logistics require it. We love it when Austin outdoor wedding venues have a backup option!

From Texas A&M friends to extended family and members of the community that have supported them along the way, it was a beautiful thing to have all their people present.
The Addison Grove supports this kind of experience because it encourages couples to slow down. The space doesn’t demand constant movement or over-structuring. When timelines are built with intention, there’s room for conversation, connection, and a really lovely wedding day.

"The Shens are absolutely the best photography team to work with!! Not only are their photos stunning and one-of-a-kind, but both Adam & Courtney make you feel like the star of the show on your wedding day. They meet with you before your wedding day to gauge what kind of vibe you want from your photos and what moments are most important to you. I could not have been happier with our photos and it was such a blessing we got our day captured by them!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

Lean into the ceremony space. The oak grove is one of the strongest features of the venue. Keeping the ceremony design simple lets the setting speak for itself.
