I am so glad we chose this venue! Truly the best day of my life. We haven’t gotten many pictures back, as we just got married, but I had to come on here and rave about how wonderful everything is at Chapel Lodge. I love that you have an option to rent out and stay at the venue, my dad and mom’s family stayed at the lodge and cabin, it was so convenient and accommodating to all of their needs! Jaycie is a sales rep at the venue, we loved her from the very beginning, she’s one of the reasons we chose this venue! We actually hired her as our planner too, again another wonderful decision! The whole day was seriously perfect! She went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough for all she did for us! The venue is so beautiful it really doesn’t need a whole lot of flowers etc in my opinion; we had about 400 candles and it was so romantic! There are so many different spaces to utilize, if you haven’t been out here I highly recommend you get out there and check it out! If you’re looking to have the perfect wedding/party/stay etc.. look no further!Ps if you are looking at any of the previous reviews about food or bar, chapel lodge is only a venue, whoever hosted the party hired those people so this venue should not be to blame if you were not satisfied.

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is absolutely stunning. When we first drove up I was taken aback by the beauty and knew we had to get married there. It was exactly what I wanted: open space, romantic, greenery backgrounds, European vibe, amongst many other things. While I am happy with our wedding day, I will say that there were a few bumps in the road that I was not pleased with. A few days before the wedding, my husband and I had been contacted regarding COI information from vendors (that was supposed to be collected 30 days prior by the venue). In addition, there were multiple things that VCL had told us was acceptable (even in front of my coordinator) but then were denied later. Thankfully, my DOC was able to mitigate everything and ensure that things went smoothly. My only recommendation to couples looking to get married at VCL is to make sure you get everything in writing or else you’ll be left scrambling a few days prior. All in all, The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is a beautiful venue but their staff needs some work.

We chose to have our wedding at this venue not just because of the beautiful property but also due to the warm welcome we received from the very start when we were touring the venue. Jaycie was such a pleasure to work with and who always went the extra mile. From the beginning, Jaycie genuinely makes you feel like your wedding will be special and stand out from other weddings she has helped plan. Jaycie knew many of the vendors we used and communicated with them, she gave us great ideas on additional considerations for the wedding and always had an ability to quell any stress we had from general wedding planning. There is nothing that she can not do! Jaycie was simply the best and we highly recommend her as both a venue and wedding coordinator!Just 20 minutes south of downtown Austin, the outdoor space of the venue features massive oak trees that sets up a beautiful natural backdrop for the ceremony space. With the 50 acre property having a vineyard, expansive fields and a pond, it offers many opportunities for capturing memorable photos, especially during golden hour. The wedding flowed seamlessly from the ceremony under the oak trees to the cocktail hour in the courtyard to the dinner and reception in the indoor/outdoor tent. For any last-minute wedding needs, there are grocery and liquor stores, restaurants as well as after hour bar locations nearby. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

We had our wedding at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge, and it was a smooth, beautiful, well-run and incredibly memorable event. Venue: Gorgeous outdoor venue with a peaceful setting for the ceremony and so many wonderful places to take stunning photos. There are the vineyards themselves, a pond with a fountain, the ceremony setting and the main house which has a Mediterranean feeling. Contract discussions: There were some points of negotiation in the contract. Chappel Lodge was flexible to meet some of our requests and, if they did not, they were transparent about their rationale for a particular requirement or clause.Vendor flexibility: Chappel Lodge allows couples to find their own vendors, with approval from the property, which opens up a very broad set of vendors.Planning: Catherine was our day-of event coordinator that is part of the package of working with Chappel Lodge (you have to have your own as well), and she provided valuable and practical guidance throughout the process. She is clearly very experienced and could give us guidance for every step of our day. Overall we highly recommend hosting your wedding here!

Catherine is the on-site manager and we hired her as our day-of coordinator as well, and she did a fantastic job making sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend getting married here!

I fell in love with the Vineyard at Chappel Lodge the minute I visited. My partner and I were looking for a naturally beautiful venue in Austin city limits when I stumbled on the venue accidentally while on google maps. And I'm so glad I did! The grounds allowed a carefree and open environment with ample space for our community to enjoy while being socially distant. It also exuded the beautiful rustic elements we were looking for to would make our guests feel right at home. And that gate!! When I saw that gate, I knew the vineyard would be my venue.I had my wedding at VCL and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great it was. And that is all thanks to the great staff! You'll meet Catherine who is just a wealth of knowledge and really looks out for your day and your needs. She was such a reassuring force throughout the process and made herself available for any questions along the way.If you're looking for a knowledgeable support team, an Austin wedding venue that serves beautiful scenes, and a relaxed and classy/casual atmosphere that's less than 20mins from downtown Austin... you have to check out The Vineyard at Chappel Lodge. I'm so so glad I did.

We fell in love with the venue when we first toured, and everything went so smoothly on the day of because of the hard work of the staff at VCL and our vendors. I highly recommend booking Catherine as the in-house coordinator - and she does so much more than just the day of. She eased so much of our anxiety by managing all of our vendors weeks before the wedding day to ensure everyone was on the same page. She also checked in with us regularly during the process to make sure we knew what we needed to get for the wedding and to make sure our hopes for the day were carried out. On the day of, she continuously checked in with us to make sure we were taken care of and continued to make everything run smoothly throughout the entire night. The venue is beautiful and we had multiple wedding guests tell us how perfect the venue was! Also highly recommend booking the on-site cabin the night before for a less stressful wake up. Overall, it was the perfect venue choice for us and we would choose it all over again!

The grounds were stunning from the two old intertwining trees that shade the reception site to the open cocktail hour courtyard to the tented reception with plenty of dancing space. Krista was so kind, and Catherine is the best, most helpful coordinator - hands down! Our family also rented the cabin on site and had the best time watching the deer frolic all day.

From start to finish our experience here was top tier. The owner Krista is as warm and welcoming as the venue itself. The location is drop dead gorgeous and is set up in such a way that everything flows and feels so organic. The getting ready rooms were spacious and felt super luxe. The ceremony space is perfect and the way they set it up, the pictures turn out incredible. All of the small touches are what makes this venue so unique. You really do not need to add a lot, if anything, to transform this space into a perfect wedding backdrop. You can just tell the amount of care put into the spaces by the whole team and they were always so accommodating to all of our wants and needs. The courtyard spaces were perfect for cocktail hour and the reception tent gave us the party of our dreams. If you book here do not think twice about also booking Catherine (the venue coordinator) as your wedding planner. Her input and services helped make our event absolutely magical from start to finish. She is in complete control and worked with all of our vendors to make sure the day went off without a hitch. I would recommend this venue (and Catherine) to anyone looking for a perfect wedding.

At the Vineyards at Chappell Lodge, amongst family, friends, large oak trees and a few deer, my husband and I became THE FISHERS.My number one priority was to have a place that allowed for beauty, ambiance, fluidity, and good vibes. We had so many out of town guests that we needed somewhere that was close to DT Austin (25 minutes) and allowed us to have the ceremony and reception in one place. Trust me, the ease of having your guests walk straight to the cocktail hour without having extra transport is both smart and practical. Each space (vineyards, oaks trees, courtyard, pond, villa, and tent) offered picturesque scenery, which resulted in the most amazing photos for us and our guests! Additionally, very little decor was needed since the space was designed with elegance and Mediterranean aesthetics.I also need to mention the bridal suite and groom's den- Each was spacious with all the sinks, mirrors, hanging and floor space you could ever need. Throughout the night our wedding party could pop in to change their shoes, use the restroom, etc., and be back to the party within minutes. Our dance floor was bumping for the entire wedding and with the flow of the venue, guests were able to feel that they were in the action even when taking a break or getting a drink.Lastly, Krista and all at the VCL were fantastic to work with! I met with Krista in May of 2020 when all things Covid related were up in the air. She made me feel at ease and confident that the day would be everything I wanted. I did several visits to the venue and felt that every step of the way I had guidance and support. Weddings are stressful- and you will need the positivity, experience, and quality Krista offers!I wouldn’t have changed a thing and was incredibly happy that we chose The Vineyards at Chappell Lodge! There is no way you can go wrong with this wedding venue. Thank you VCL for everything!

We were very happy with VCL for the venue for our ceremony and reception that we had in November 2021. We had originally planning on getting married in April 2020 but had to reschedule twice due to COVID. VCL was very accommodating with both changes (we had to pay a fee for the second change, but it was reasonable). The venue is incredibly beautiful and all of our pictures turned out great. The reception location and having it \"open-air\" made all of our guests feel a bit more comfortable in the COVID-times.

This venue was perfect for the rustic and elegant wedding we had envisioned. Krista and Catherine did everything to ensure we had the absolute best day. After postponing for a year due to COVID, we could not be more happy and grateful with how things went. We went all out and enjoyed every single minute. The staff was always welcoming and caring when we visited the property with our vendors. They are incredibly flexible and let you take advantage of every corner of the venue as long as you respect the rules. We have absolutely zero complaints. Thank you, Krista, for the support since we started this journey back in 2019!

Like other recent engaged couples our wedding planning was a whirlwind. We toured several venues in early 2020 and fell in love as soon as we visited The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. We knew immediately that it was the perfect venue for us! The open fields, vineyards, tent, and giant oak trees really embodied what we were looking for in a Hill Country wedding. We could not believe such an amazing venue is located in south Austin, so close to guest accommodations and dining areas all within 5 miles. We immediately booked! Krista was wonderful to work with. Due to Covid 19, we decided to postpone our wedding to 2021. Krista was very understanding and worked with us on a new date for the following year. She really made us feel supported the entire way and was always easy to reach with any questions we had asap! The venue really is amazing, all chairs and tables were included, and is pet friendly. They also have a list of recommended vendors to make the whole process easier! Rental furniture was also included which really made the whole experience so much easier. They even allowed me and my bridesmaids to arrive hours early for hair + make up. The bridal suite is fully set up to accommodate hair + make up services (I had 7 bridesmaids and we had plenty of room to lounge and get ready).We also hired the Day of Coordinator Catherine. She truly is AMAZING! We cannot recommend her enough! All throughout the entire process she answered any questions we had and met with us to plan the entire wedding day a few weeks before the wedding. On our wedding day she made everything go smoothly. She worked amazingly with all of our vendors and made the wedding of our dreams come true, while making sure we enjoyed ourselves!We also took advantage of the lodging options offered by the venue. My husband and I spent the night in the gorgeous bridal suite!!!We definitely recommend the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding venue!

We toured several venues before choosing The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge, but once we visited, we knew right away that it was the venue for us. We were so in love with the fields and fields of wild flowers surrounding us and the open-air feeling of the giant white tent. And we chose right - our wedding was such a dream! Although we did have our own wedding planner, Catherine, the venue manager, was beyond helpful! She was so responsive to all of my emails and questions, and we just felt so supported throughout the entire wedding planning process - even through Covid. There are so many added bonuses that came along with our venue: 1) furniture rentals included! We were able to choose a few gorgeous couches and chairs to create a cool seating vignette for our guests to hang out in. 2) Lodging! We took FULL advantage of all of the lodging options provided. Our entire bridal party (16+ their spouses and dates) were able to stay overnight comfortably using the huge, adorable cabin on the property and the very well kept rooms in the lodge. The also provided the absolutely gorgeous bridal suite for me and my now husband to stay in on the night of our wedding. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a partially-outdoor wedding. (I recommend April - the weather was perfect!) You cannot beat the views, the vibes or the professionalism of this place. Thank you VCL!!

I had an overall great experience working with this venue for our wedding. Krista was really helpful and accommodating. The grounds are really special, and I found it to be the most beautiful place to have an outdoor wedding within Austin city limits. We ended up having a really rainy day for our wedding day and the tent on site was perfect for the festivities. My only things to point out are that the rental of the space only includes 11 hours (not the entire day) and that a day of coordinator is required. These things totally worked out for us, but I didn’t realize them when I booked so I thought I would point it out!

Booking our wedding venue at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge was the best decision we could’ve made! From the first time we drove into the property, we were absolutely amazed at the beauty of the venue. The staff and our day of coordinator, Catherine, were always so helpful and quick to reply. Planning a wedding during the pandemic was beyond stressful, but to top it off our wedding landed the weekend the winter storm hit Texas! The week leading up to the event, Catherine was in constant contact with us, running all of the possible options we had through every scenario. The night of our wedding, it was below freezing, wet, and unlike anything we could’ve expected. Nonetheless, our night went incredibly well and without a hitch! Our guests were warm and sheltered from the elements, but it still very much felt like an outdoor wedding. Catherine and her team were organized, diligent and there for anything we threw at them. VCL is amazing and I highly recommend booking there and also hiring Catherine!

From our first interaction with the sales staff, to meeting the owners, to our fabulous day-of wedding coordinator, Catherine, the staff at VCL was welcoming, helpful, and professional. Their jobs are certainly not made easy during a pandemic, but they remained professional and supportive throughout. We received so many compliments from guests who attended. We are so appreciative of Catherine for making our big day less stressful and hectic, and for refocusing our energies on the things that truly mattered. My husband and I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion. We've even discussed returning someday way into the future to renew our vows! Five stars. Highly recommend.

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is the most beautiful venue I have ever experienced. The grounds ... The ceremony site ... The Lodge ... The Cabin ... In this era of Covid, we never once considered postponment of the wedding. The outdoor venue allowed for social distancing during the ceremony and reception. We could not have asked for a more helpful day of coordinator in Catherine. She runs a \"tight ship\" which takes the burdens of details off the bride and the Mother of the Bride. Awesome experience!!! Highly recommended!!

If you’re looking for a gorgeous, outdoor, rustic, ethereal and unique wedding venue near Austin, RUN DONT WALK to the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge!!! I was a Covid bride who had to relocate my (already postponed) wedding from San Diego to Austin less than 3 months before my December 2020 date. Miraculously, they had my open at Chappel Lodge and after visiting the venue, I knew it was the one. I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the entire team there. Krista (the adorable owner) was SO helpful during the whole process, and she is just so sweet and easy to work with. They worked so well with all of our vendors (including some that we brought from CA), and the day itself turned out SO PERFECTLY. My family took advantage of their lodging options, which they loved. And my bridesmaids loved getting ready in the huge and spacious bridal suite. Overall, I could not have imagined a better venue!!!

We went on multiple tours of venues and came across VCL and absolutely fell in love. Between the stunning oak trees that frame the ceremony space so beautifully, to the vineyard vines, the sprawling fields AND THAT TENT - we found our perfect venue! Not to mention the best coordinator a bride can ask for - Catherine was so helpful, supportive & responsive which was all so appreciated. 2020 was definitely a curve ball but Catherine continued to assure us not to worry, and kept us updated on all recommended guidelines on moving forward with our wedding. Fast forward to our recent wedding day 10/24/20 - we could not have been more happy. We lucked out with some amazing weather, and the venue was absolute perfection especially seeing all vendors come together and see your vision & planning come to life. Our guests were gushing at how beautiful & unique the venue was - and we couldn't agree more.

We began our search for a new venue and found The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. How we missed them in our original search we don't know but we couldn't be happier we finally found them. We decided to move our wedding to the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge in May 2021. When we told Krista we were still planning on getting legally married somewhere in Austin on our original date she offered the option to get legally married at the venue. After facing so many roadblocks we finally felt like we'd be handed some positive information. Krista set up a lounging area for our immediate family and put out chairs for our little ceremony. The day couldn't have been more perfect and the venue is so fitting for us. Krista's kindness and willingness to help us during these odd times was so refreshing. Greg and I are already thinking about how we can make our 2021 ceremony there even more special and even though we were bummed we couldn't have our big wedding this May we are so fortunate to have found this amazing venue. If you're looking for a venue that provides beautiful scenery, and amazing people to work with, the The Vineyards at Chapel Lodge is your place :)

My husband and I just had our wedding at VCL this February 2020 and it turned out to be even better than we expected! Catherine was always available to answer questions and was extremely accommodating all the way to the very last minute. Also, the facilities and grounds were maintained perfectly. We ended up having around 140 guests but there was plenty of additional space for a larger wedding if necessary. Thanks to all the staff at VCL for helping us create a day we'll always remember!

This place is awesome! From the moment we stepped onto the grounds and saw the big, beautiful oak trees, we were sold! We got married in February, so we didn't benefit from the vineyards themselves or the flower fields, but everything was still beautiful and green and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. All our favorite vendors had worked the venue before, so logistics and coordination was a piece of cake, and the staff at VCL were totally on the ball, and super accommodating. There was plenty of space for out 120 ish guest wedding, and the rooms for the bride and groom were great. We had an amazing wedding, and the pictures came out fantastic, and a lot of that was due to this great venue. We can't recommend VCL enough!

Loved our Vineyards at Chappel Lodge Wedding!We are SO happy we booked VACL and additionally happy we invested in Catherine to be our day of coordinator!VACL was definitely the best bang for our buck! So many venues in Austin 'price gouge' their couples by charging ridiculous fees for specific items and are not up front. We chose VACL for a few reasons:1. It's GORGEOUS! They have beautiful overgrown trees and the ceremony site with the gorgeous stone aisle is breathtaking. We loved the outside grounds and the fun cocktail hour that then flows into the reception tent. We had the most gorgeous day for weather so it felt worth the investment and risk for this outside venue.2. VACL allows you to bring your own alcohol on site. We were able to have Specs deliver all the booze we needed (and were able to return it at just a 10% restock fee). Other venues do not allow this - which for a wedding of our size (200 people) and charging per person per hour gets REALLY expensive! Additionally we were able to have the bridal party get ready onsite and enjoy champagne and whiskey while we were getting ready - no issues. A few other venues had strict rules about \"no offsite alcohol!\" with signs all over the bridal suite which I thought was silly.3. People were worried about the train but this wasn't an issue for us and even if a train comes through WHO CARES - it will be another memorable moment and if you know it's a possibility you can have the sound ready to play some fun tunes.4. CATHERINE! She was absolutely amazing and may our day flow perfectly. I've been in a LOT of weddings (over 10 as a bridesmaid) and worked with many coordinators and she is the best. She is direct, but pleasant, informative but willing to listen. Too often I've seen details go missed and that just won't happen with Catherine!5. The capacity - this venue was perfect for our 200 guests - we were able to sit everyone at the chairs at the ceremony (chairs and tables included in the venue! another huge plus!) and we fit perfectly under the tent!6. The location! A lot of locations like this are far from Austin making the logistics a nightmare for out of town guests. We had all our guests stay at the Omni Hotel Southpark and then provided shuttles to and from the venue - just a quick 15 minute ride. Then they had access to downtown Austin and were able to enjoy our wedding and still have access to Austin. Other venues are so remote it leaves guests stuck in places that aren't ideal.VACL was a great choice for us!!!

We hired Cathrine Haffner, the on-site coordinator who truly shocked us with her ability to run the wedding day with such ease and expertises. As the mother of the bride I felt so relaxed the entire day and was able to enjoy every minute because Cathrine handled all of the vendors and tended to our guests needs. Highly recommend this venue and Cathrine to anyone wanting an amazing Hill Country wedding!

Wow, I am not even sure where to start with our review of The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge! Absolutely everything was incredible!Firstly we had the awful task of locating a venue for the month December. After looking at dozens of venues online we came across this beautiful venue. We called first to make sure they had availability with our December 7th wedding date. The pictures looked incredible, and it looked like such a beautiful location.We both fell in love with the look and the feel of the venue driving up for our onsite meeting. It was so surreal. The beautiful oak trees, pond, deer and facilities were absolutely beautiful. When we called to make a onsite interview Jaycee and Catherine were so lovely. They made arrangements for us to view the venue and explained the different areas. Jaycee took us through a general run through of what most couples do on their day but let us know they were very open to any creative ideas we had to make things a little different for our day. She really put our minds at rest and we knew that this was the venue for us. Catherine was our wedding coordinator and helped us finalize all the details for the day of. She made the wedding day run so smooth. Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your hard work in making our wedding the best day of our lives. It would not have been possible without you all. All of our guests had a wonderful time and couldn’t praise the venue enough. It was so lovely to see it all come together so beautifully on the day – thank you so much again! Best wishesCameron & Avery Gregory

The venue itself is so beautiful - in the few times we visited, there were groups of deer running by, which was so special.

We had both our ceremony and reception there on a very hot Texas day but our guests hardly noticed the heat. The ceremony site is well shaded and the tent stayed cool in the evening with fans going. We worked with the day-of-coordinator who works at the venue, Catherine and she was pivotal in helping our day go so smoothly. She made sure all the details were handled on the day of the wedding and we were so thankful to have her there. This venue is gorgeous and leaves you with a feeling of being away from the city even though it’s only 15 minutes or so from downtown.

The venue at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge (VCL) is both lovely and amazing; one of the most beautiful settings we could imagine. On our first visit, we were sold. The wedding for our daughter and her fiancé hosted by VCL was perfect in every way. The wedding was held in the Spring with bluebonnets in full bloom; just imagine the beautiful photos that were taken. The site of the wedding ceremony under the big oak trees seemed to envelop the couple as they said their vows; what a beautiful memory. During the planning process, everything went smoothly. Jaycie Kreitzer, the venue’s Director of Sales and Operations, was energetic, friendly and paid attention to every detail of the wedding of our daughter’s dreams. She was very accommodating to all of our requests, including visiting the venue several times when we needed additional information for décor and the flow of the event. Jaycie was a delight to work with. We highly recommend this venue not only for weddings but for other events, as well.

This venue/team was nothing short of amazing. We booked our date almost a year out so a lot had happened (plenty of pics to creep on their Instagram) and they kept us in the loop through every change and exciting moment that happened. The day of went off without a hitch- sweet Catherine felt like my cheerleader the whole weekend and we had the pleasure of also working with Jaycie in the beginning- they were both so helpful, kind, and listened to all my requests/questions. The venue is jaw dropping. The tent they've added with the dimming lights MADE the wedding. It was so fun to work with a tent that was already included and really make it my own. We had a reception of just over 200 and it was the perfect amount of space- no issues with crowding. We had 2 bars and did food family style, which I think helped a lot with crowd control. All in all- this venue was a dream to work with and they couldn't have made our wedding day any more perfect!

I would like to extend my warmest thank you to Jaycie and Catherine for being so present, caring, absolutely 100% accommodating to our timelines, schedules and our questions. Catherine was our coordinator - an absolute delight in handling vendors, being there for you on the day of and the evening of the wedding. We will recommend her, vouch for her, and sing praises to her to anyone who would listen. These two ladies made sure our weekend went as smooth as possible, and without their positivity and \"can do\" attitude we wouldn't have made it. Now onto the venue itself. We got married at the end of Sept. The weather did end up cooperating with us, but even if it didn't, there was a super plan B that we worked on with Catherine. The sprawling grounds of Vineyards at Chappell Lodge are stunning. Most of the guests who flew in from NY and SF were smitten with the lavish trees, the pond, and nature all around. It's quite an oasis in the city (and surrounding neighborhood), and driving up to it, you'd never fathom just how beautiful (and large) the space is. We ended up renting the cabin and the venue rooms for our family and long distance vendors. They loved the proximity to us, and the care we took, to make them feel comfortable. The venue also allows you to extend the wedding until midnight (when most of the inside Austin venues cap you at 10 PM). This was cherry on top of the cake. The stunning venue, outstanding staff - definitely recommend to future brides/grooms. Thank you for making our weekend so special. You are an A+ team!Olga & Keith.

The venue manager Jaycie has the most infectious personality and makes you feel so comfortable and like she’s 100% on your team to help you have the perfect day! We hired the venues coordinator Catherine Haffner as well and it will literally make me start crying how much this lady made my day so effortless, stress-free, and the day of my dreams!!! Exceptionally professional, always on time, always available for all my many many questions or requests! They truly want the couple to have the day of their dreams! Can not recommend them enough!

Jaycie may be the second best reason to book your wedding here; the first reason is that it's a beautiful venue. Aside from the gorgeous ceremony under the huge oaks and the beautiful reception area under the lights and or tent, everything went so smoothly. Jaycie is a wedding pro and knows how to take care of business. This place is beautiful and the staff is 100% reliable.

I need to start this review by saying that we had the most amazing wedding at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge in April!Their website doesn't do the venue justice- the grounds are absolutely stunning, with gorgeous fields of wildflowers and romantic oak trees as a backdrop. Once we stepped foot at the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding (note: this was after having seen 8 different Austin venues in person and looking at countless others online in our research phase).The professionalism and flexibility of the staff- Jaycie and Catherine- put us at ease immediately and made planning an Austin wedding from NYC much less stressful. With every email or call to them, they put our minds at ease, always answered all our questions, and were so accommodating throughout the planning process and on the days leading up to our wedding.We could not say enough amazing things about the Vineyards, and nor could our guests for that matter! It was the absolute perfect location and we had the wedding of our dreams.Thank you Catherine & Jaycie!

My husband and I just got married at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge in June. It was truly the most amazing experience we had throughout our wedding planning. The venue speaks for itself (the pictures don't do it justice, its honestly a gorgeous venue). I received so many compliments about the venue and I was able to save money on my decor because it just isn't needed. Both Jaycie and Catherine were lifesavers, always available for the MILLIONS of questions we had. They never made us feel like an inconvenience, which is oddly what I experienced with a lot of my other wedding vendors. I couldn't have asked for a better experience my wedding ran so smoothly and Catherine was truly such a good investment, we were worry free on the day because of her. Go check this venue out for sure and you won't be sorry!

You would never guess this venue is hiding in the middle of Austin. When you go through the front gates of the property there are rolling green hills and oak trees. In the spring these are covered with beautiful fields of wildflowers. The ceremony site is under beautiful trees with a wildflower field behind is a dream... we are so happy we chose it for our April wedding. As an outdoor venue there can be concerns about weather, but the venue has since put up a very nice tent structure on the reception patio. It looked great as a backup in case of rain, but luckily we did not need to use it. Not only that, but the venue is also in a convenient location close to lots of lodging options and other things to do for wedding guests! From the day we booked the venue we worked with Catherine, and also hired her to be onsite coordinator for the day of... best decision ever. She answered our millions of questions patiently and also honestly giving straight forward advice which ultimately helped our wedding day have a great flow to it! I would definitely recommend her. On the day of the wedding she problem-solved flawlessly and I didn't learn of any issues until after the fact which is a blessing as a bride. She also went above and beyond. For example, a surprise cold front came through and Catherine went out and bought a TON of blankets that matched our color theme for our guests without even being prompted! She also set up a small dining space in the bridal lounge so my husband and I could eat before the reception. When she noticed people were coming in during our private meal she helped usher them away in a very graceful polite way so we could have a moment of peace before the reception. That was a special moment for us and a blessing in retrospect! :) Great venue, great staff. I highly recommend it :)

After touring multiple venues, this one was the only one that I knew right away it was exactly what I was looking for. Jaycie the event coordinator, was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She and I hit it off immediately. Jaycie has such an inviting and warm personality. She was happy to answer any questions I had throughout our wedding planning process. As my wedding approached on March 3rd, Jaycie worked even harder to get a beautiful tent ordered to cover the stone patio, as that would have been our only bad weather backup. I had planned for our entire wedding to be outside as the venue is absolutely breathtaking and we love nautre. I grew up in the hill country, and wanted something that represented that special place in my heart. Who would've known that if you were to drive a mile or so south down manchaca past slaughter, and find this incredibly beautiful piece of land! A true hidden gem. Jaycie came through with this beautiful tent as well as many other details, and I am so incredibly grateful that she did as it was raining during our wedding day. My mom and a few of our closest friends stayed at the venue the night before our wedding, and my husband and I stayed in the bridal suite the night of our wedding. These also wouldn't have been possible without Jaycie. The stay at the venue truly added to our incredible weekend, and you would truly miss out on your magical experience if you didn't do the same. Thank you so much Jaycie for everything that you did!I hired Catherine, the venue's coordinator, as my day of coordinator. She took over everything a month out from my wedding, and was available for any questions that I had prior. I did lot's of research before going with Catherine, and not only did I find that I was receiving the best deal out of any one else that I contacted, but WOW, Catherine is THE BEST. I can't even put into words how incredible Catherine was. She was so thorough with every small detail of the wedding day and rehearsal. We met a few weeks prior to wedding and worked out every minute and minor detail of the day. She made me feel so confident that our wedding day was going to be executed exactly the way the we had dreamed it would be, and also addressed details that we hadn't quite thought about. During our rehearsal, she was on top of every single detail. The day of the wedding, I don't even know where to begin. She handled all of our vendors, the setup, and everything that I had dreamed would happened, happened. I was able to relax that day, and not worry about anything outside of getting myself ready, and enjoying my friends and family. It rained and I had a moment of sadness as I had always imagined a beautiful wedding outside. Catherine flipped the covered patio that had already been set up for dinner, and made it into a beautiful ceremony site. It had every small detail like rose pedals down the isle, to additions, such as beautiful candles at the bottle of the arch that she had moved under the tent because she knew it would add warmth to the ceremony site. She knew the floral wedding arch would be the finishing touch and was very important to me, and made moving it happen. The wedding night was amazing, and any minor hiccup that occurred, I was not aware of as she handled it beautifully. As I said before, I cannot thank Catherine enough for making our dream wedding come true, even with circumstances that were not ideal. She made a rainy wedding day into one that was intimate and beautiful.

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge was absolutely the most gorgeous place to have a wedding. We think the venue is South Austin's best kept secret. Just south of Moontower Saloon, the venue looks like hill country, dripping springs, or driftwood but in reality, is only 15-25 minutes south of downtown. Our wedding was three days ago, and we are still in awe of how beautiful everything looked on our special day. We DIY'd our entire Wedding and this venue made our projects look absolutely stunning. The gorgeous oak trees were exactly what my Austin born and raised Fiance (now Husband) wanted for the ceremony. The vines, the glowing hayfield behind the ceremony at sunset, and the beautiful oak trees created an romantic, yet casual, and elegant backdrop! Our guests loved all the spaces in the venue, they were able to explore little areas and really utilize the full space. Aside from the breathtaking surrounding grounds, the hacienda style house and outdoor patios are just beautiful! From the speakers in the trees, to the bridal suite, to being able to rent the venue overnight to load-out in morning, and have our guests stay overnight, it was all so perfect. We also booked Catherine to be our day of coordinator and she was top notch, truly professional, and worked hard for us the week leading up to the Wedding and especially on the day of the Wedding. Wouldn't have been able to execute it all so smoothly without her, so glad we budgeted her into our Wedding. It was so nice to be stress free that day, we didn't have to worry about a thing.We cannot say enough great things about the venue. Choosing this place for your special day, especially if you'd like an outdoor venue, will not disappoint!

This beautiful is absolutely gorgeous! In the spring it is covered in wildflowers and the combination indoor/outdoor space was everything we wanted. It has a very secluded hill country feel without actually being far from town, which was a must for a wedding with a lot of out-of-town guests. There was a good rain plan for our wedding (which we ended up needing), and the inside space is just as beautiful as the outside space. The onsite staff was very helpful and the venue coordinator Catherine was amazing to work with and very organized. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my choice of this venue!

As a couple who loves the outdoors and the rural charm of Texas in the spring, it was important to both my husband and I that our wedding be outside, under some oak trees and Texas starry skies. We toured a lot of local venues and nothing fit the bill quite as perfectly as VCL. It's a gorgeous, tucked away piece of property that is very well-maintained and manicured. It served as the perfect backdrop to our May 2015 wedding.

You won't regret it!\r\rCatherine, the Events Coordinator, was SO helpful and prompt in returning our many phone calls. All of her recommendations were spot-on and very valuable. The other fantastic thing about this venue is that you have the option of using your own catering, bartenders, and alcohol. And lastly, the Month of Coordination fee is the cheapest I have seen for such a wonderful service. Can't say enough great things about this venue!

When we first found this venue, I read several not so positive reviews online but we fell in love with it at first site as we drove in and passed deer. I think that many of the reviews were written when the venue was new and still figuring itself out and before the amazing Catherine Haffner joined the team. I was planning my Austin wedding from Houston, which was tricky but Catherine was so wonderful. I was always able to get in touch with her, she made fantastic recommendations, guided us through the process and was always calm, organized and on top of everything. We loved her! Unfortunately a cold front came through bringing rain and 50 degree temps, which to my disappointment made us go with plan B, but the day went beautifully and Catherine was so helpful and helped us stick to a timeline and organized all of my vendors flawlessly. The venue worked wonderfully and the wedding parties and our families loved being able to stay on site. The decor, grounds and layout worked so well. I would not change a thing (other than the weather) about my wedding day and I am so happy I found this venue and Catherine.

Ever since I was little, I always wanted to get married outside. There's something so romantic about light and trees and nature... And since I'm a hopeless romantic, the outdoors was the perfect fit for me. I also wanted a place where I could hold both the ceremony and the reception, so that people could travel to just one location and the flow of the wedding would not be interrupted. The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge gave me all of these things, plus more. The grounds are gorgeous, the reception patio is rustic yet classy, and the best part: you feel like you're in Hill Country without driving out to Hill Country. (You're in South Austin close to a major street, but there is light and trees EVERYWHERE and it feels like you are in Dripping Springs!) I will admit, I was nervous at first about the entire wedding taking place outside since you never know what Texas weather will do, but our overcast wedding felt amazing and looked gorgeous in pictures! On top of that, the staff is wonderful. Kristy and Catherine got to witness a bridal meltdown (courtesy of me and my stress) when I signed my contract, and were beyond supportive, counseling me and handing me tissues the whole time. And Catherine.. HIRE HER. Her day-of-coordinating is worth every penny (and it's at a great price anyways) and she knows exactly what she's doing. In our planning meetings (first one held a month before the wedding, second one a week or so before) she asked me questions and made me think of details I would have completely forgotten otherwise. I had almost no worries the day of, thanks to her, as she kept everyone in check and everything running smoothly. So my advice: go take a tour of the venue. The pictures online don't even do it justice; I promise you will fall in love. I am so glad to have such a beautiful background for the memories of the day I got to marry my best friend, and will always hold The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge very near and dear to my heart!

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is an absolutely beautiful venue! I got married there last weekend (10/18) and my guests continue to rave about how beautiful the space was. I fell in love with the venue immediately the first time I saw it and knew I had to get married there. What also sold me was the beautiful lodging that is available! My bridesmaids and I stayed there on Friday and Saturday night, and the groomsmen rented the cabin! It was so nice to have all of our wedding party so close and not have to worry about traveling before or after the wedding. And that bridal suite is amazing!\r\rI booked the venue almost a year before the wedding and spoke with Kristy numerous times throughout the year, always with a prompt response. But what really stood out to me was the help Chappel Lodge gave me in the last days before the wedding : I rented a tent from WHIM that was installed the Thursday before my Saturday wedding, however Kristy from the venue knew it would not meet my expectations - the barrels holding the tent were awful, the lighting was poor, and it overall looked cheap. Kristy stepped up and called my day of coordinator to make her aware, but more importantly she called WHIM and said they needed to come out and fix it. She had the highest expectations and even called other rental companies to come out to beautiful the space! I felt so grateful for her and knew that was truly above and beyond her duties! So thank you, Kristy!\r\rFinally, Catherine was the person on duty the night of my wedding and she was so helpful! I saw her running around making sure everything was perfect and even checking on me to ask if I needed anything. She even helped serve the cake! I did not have a single worry the night of my wedding and I have the Chappel Lodge staff to thank for that. (I should also note the cleaning and set up crew were so sweet to me and even congratulated me throughout the day while getting ready!)\r\rI highly recommend Chappel Lodge for a wedding - I can testify that my guests have said my wedding was one of the most beautiful they had ever been to and I know that's mostly because of the great October weather and the gorgeous venue :)\r

Everything about the beauty of this venue is true. It is absolutely gorgeous and the moment I toured the facility, I wanted to get married there. I put down the deposit to the save the date. A few days later, I went back to the facility to show my parents. At that time, for the first time, they told me that I was not going to be able to bring my own alcohol and I would have to go through them. The cheapest price for alcohol was $26/person (for beer and wine). I am expecting about 175 guests, so this added at least $4,500 to our budget. When I told them that they explicitly told me that we could bring our own alcohol on our first viewing, they told me that they did tell me of this new policy and would not admit to misinforming me. They would not negotiate on the policy or the price of the alcohol packages. This new alcohol policy, stating on January 1, 2015, will be on top of the 15% required gratuity, the required police officer fees, required day of insurance, and required day of coordinator. \r\rWhile the venue is absolutely stunning, this new alcohol policy will make this venue out of the price point of many brides. \r\r$6,000 for venue\r$900 mandatory gratuity \r$750 for day of coordinator (Catherine of VLC), you may get your own.\r------------------------------\r$7,650 for venue fees only\r\rI was very much okay with spending this money, even though it was more than comparable venues. However, the alcohol policy now adds thousands of dollars. In my case, $4,500 of extra costs that I was not told about. \r\rMy main complaint is that they misinformed me about the policy, would not admit that they did so, and then would not work with me to correct this mistake. However, I did get my deposit back. \r\rI post this only to warn people of the new policy change so they are not heartbroken when their dream venue falls through due to policies (and additional budget considerations) they were not informed of beforehand. \r\r\r\r\r\r

My husband and I searched all of the hill country to find this beautiful location. We are both from NC and wanted to find a place with big beautiful oaks and/or a manicured English garden that reminded us of home. We stepped out of the car to see the ceremony spot shaded in a canopy of oaks with Carolina on My Mind playing in the background. There were roses and flowers and a pretty vineyard surrounding the stone lodge. Not quite an English garden but it was perfect. \r\rPros: \r1. Everyone loved our June wedding. It was beautiful with plenty of room for getting ready ahead of time with a full bridal and grooms suites. \r2. Vendors could arrive ahead of us to set up. \r3. Best thing we did at our wedding: We stayed with the whole bridal party in the nearby cabin onsite the night before the wedding and the price is a steal. We had friends in from all over the country and even from England so we wanted to spend as much time with them and not traveling from place to place. We were able to spend all evening after the rehearsal dinner and all morning before we could get on site to set up relaxing with our friends. Absolutely priceless.\r3. There is a lot of indoor space so in case of inclement weather (rain or heat) you have a plan B or at least some A/C seating for older family members, pregnant friends, etc.\r4. Kristy the on site coordinator gave me her cell the day before and day of the wedding so I could contact her with anything I needed. This was immensely helpful!\r5. The field behind the ceremony spot is often filled with flowers in the spring but is certainly gone by May. It rained hard the two weeks prior to the wedding day and was full of flowers! We took so many pictures there\r\r\rCons:\r1. The contract is far too long and detailed. It is quite a hassle, which was made more difficult by the \r2. Difficulty in reaching the staff at V@CL. They were all very kind and understanding if things weren't in perfectly on time but often that was due to trouble in getting ahold of staff by phone or e-mail. If you live in town and can go in person to talk that is your best bet in getting ahold of them.\r3. Much of the furniture on site is there by rental only. Ask about which pieces are included. We didn't realize until the week of the wedding that a lot of our indoor seating for guests (a few chairs, a sofa here and there) who may want to come in for some A/C was not included in the price. As far as I can tell, everyone was comfortable without those things so all was well.\r4. Prices change throughout the year for certain items/services so get your agreements down in writing. The staff always honored our original agreements but it was just always stressful for me when those conversations came up.\r

This place was absolutely gorgeous. Everyone at my wedding said it was the most unusual and pretty venue they had seen. It is still close to downtown, but has the feel of being out in the country. Everything is up-to-date with a beautiful bridal suite. There are many options for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. You get to make of it what you want. They have recently added another administration lady which should help with the slower response time on emails and phone calls. But they are very sweet people and are extremely flexible for what you want to do. Would 100% do it again here! :)

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and, in my opinion, worth the hassle of dealing with the management. Just be prepared for a very understaffed venue, and very bloated, 42-page contract. The grounds are beautiful, wildflowers and trees everywhere, and the building is something right out of a resort brochure! Our best advice is to have a separate coordinator to deal with the venue alone. They are greatly understaffed, Kristy is the only one running things over there and I think her performance over the course of the entire experience could've been much better had she had at least one person helping her. Don't even try calling this place, it's hopeless. The only way to get in contact is via email. And understand that the staff is mostly absent the day of the wedding, meaning don't expect much help, if any, from them. That goes the same for your vendors, many of ours complained of not being able to get answers from Kristy. Also, many of our guests complained of feeling persona non grata the day of the wedding. That the staff was actually a little rude to them when asking where to park and such things. All in all, the wedding was great and mostly compliments from guests, almost all remarked on how beautiful the venue was. Just wish the staff was a little more hospitable throughout the entire planning stage and the wedding itself.
