Villa Antonia is an idyllic al-fresco wedding venue located in Austin, TX. This beautiful space, carved into the Texas hill country, boasts stylish and elegant features, and excellent photo opportunities. Couples are sure to feel the romance flowing through this picturesque villa estate. Combined with superb management services, this charming villa can make fairy-tale weddings a reality.
Initially constructed in 1999, the villa was designed by a lady named Antonia for personal use. This labor of love arose from her passion for building the home of her dreams. Soon after its completion, couples began arriving at the door, asking if the villa was open for wedding-hire. Antonia was a romantic at heart, and so she transformed her home into a luxury location for ceremonies and receptions. Antonia’s lifelong project has been home to over 1700 events ever since.
Couples and guests alike are sure to fall enchanted by the old-world feel emanating from the stone terraces and winding staircases. Walking among the rose garden by the waterfall, couples can explore a fantastic vantage point overlooking the scenic views of the countryside. The combination of wilderness and well-kept greenery creates a romantic ambience will be difficult departing from. Defined by arched entryways, terracotta tiles, and iron-wrought detailing, every inch of the villa was carefully made to delight. A gorgeous chapel can be used for both indoor ceremonies and reception gatherings while the grounds boast equally divine outdoor spaces.
Operating as a wedding venue for so many years means that the villa staff understands what makes a wedding special. Down to the last detail, the venue’s coordinating team offers couples complete guidance and can execute every precious moment seamlessly. Wedding events have exclusive use of the grounds with facilities made available to accommodate last-minute weather conditions. The venue requests that couples select from their preferred list of coordinating, catering and bartending vendors to ensure a hassle-free event. Dedicated time allowances for rehearsal, setup, and teardown are also provided for each nuptial occasion. Couples can feel like royalty on a day they will remember for years to come.

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Villa Antonia! The venue looks like it was straight out of a fairy tale, and everyone was so kind and helpful. Amy was very easy to work with, and we had a great event at a gorgeous venue. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Reviewed on 09-01-2024

The Villa Antonia was the best! We booked it as our venue a recently this year just from what we saw on theknot! A year before my sister and her fiance had our first in-person visit and it was just as beautiful as in photos. The staff was extremely helpful and responsive. The team worked with us on scheduling all visits and was flexible since we don’t live near Austin. On the day-of our arrival the staff was attentive, friendly, accommodating and communicative. The scenery here is beyond breathtaking and pictures do not do it justice! We’d highly recommend Villa Antonia to anyone who wants their wedding in Pasadena. ALSO, AMY, IS OUTSTANDING!!!!!

I had the pleasure to be invited to Claudette and Hank Hughes' wedding earlier this month. The most beautiful wedding I've ever seen. Villa Antonia was a perfect setting for a perfect celebration! I do want to compliment the venue staff and especially Monica Hudson. I lost my purse during the reception and told Monica before leaving that evening. She took down all my information, and then phoned me on Monday to tell me a member of her staff had found my purse. She shipped it to me via overnight delivery at no charge. A big thank you Monica to you and your staff! Jennifer P. Reviewed on 20-06-2023
Molly Ward(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2022 Our wedding was on 9/18/22 and it was the most lovely and memorable day! I planned our wedding for nearly 2 years and thanks to Monica and the coordination team at Villa Antonia I was able to turn off my admittedly hyper-organized anxious brain and simply enjoy the moments day-of. Email communication leading up to our wedding was odd, and there were a couple things that I asked for that didn't get done (like hiding the blue planters that didn't match our decor, and putting away the misters), and the personal flowers almost didn't get pinned, but overall those are small blips and in the end we wouldn't have chosen anywhere else to celebrate our wedding. Thank you, VA (and Monica!) for hosting our wedding and making our day-of so easy! Reviewed on 10-01-2023
Rosario Riojas(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-12-2022 We are the Riojas, and we just had our wedding at Villa Antonia in December & it was magical! Monica Hudson and the team will go above and beyond to make your dreams a reality. I cannot tell you how grateful we are to have had them as our team. We always were supported, and their communication was consistent. Villa Antonia will treat your family as their own and make sure you leave with a smile. Reviewed on 05-01-2023
Skyler White(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-11-2022 Villa Antonia was the perfect setting for our wedding! The views and venue are breathtaking. I loved the old world charm and the fact that it wasn’t your typical wedding venue! Amy, the manager, was extremely quick to respond any time we reached out and was flexible with any needs that we had. Emily, our day of coordinator, helped pull off a seamless day that truly allowed us to relax and soak it all in. Reviewed on 29-12-2022
Kailey Davis(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-12-2022 We had our 2022 semi-formal at Villa Antonia and it was absolutely exceptional. The venue is not only beautiful, but the staff are extremely helpful and are always willing to lend a hand. We had access to the entire property, giving us plenty of space to mingle, dance, and enjoy the company of each other! The staff at Villa Antonia created such a fun atmosphere for us. They threw in glow sticks for our dance portion, and even allowed us to use the extra sparklers they had on hand to end the night! I can go on and on about how amazing this venue was, but to sum it up, the venue and staff truly made the girls in our chapter, and their dates, have such a beautiful and magical night! Reviewed on 07-12-2022
Taylor Rodriguez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-11-2022 Amazing venue! They really went above and beyond to make our day magical!

Erika Snell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 You MUST at least tour this place if you are looking for a venue. However, once you do I promise you will book it. Everything is picture perfect and honestly you don't need to \"dress it up\" like you would with other venues. One of my guests described it as a \"Hallmark wedding\" with how dream like and surreal this venue was. Every inch of this place is beautiful and even with what ended up being a much smaller wedding than we had planned (only around 50 people) it created the most perfect intimate and special feel. We had everyone outside for dinner and that will forever live in my head as the most beautiful memory. I do recommend adding an hour to the contract before the ceremony if you are doing a first look. Without that, it would almost be impossible. However, you will not regret booking this venue! Reviewed on 27-10-2022
Tania Reza(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2022 When I first started wedding planning, I saw a wedding video showcasing Villa Antonia and I absolutely fell in love! It is a little piece of Europe right in Austin. My guests loved the venue as well and couldn't believe we were in Texas! The venue is so stunning, so it doesn't need a lot of work in terms of florals/decor. I also love how there were so many different spots to take photos! Ms. Maria is so sweet and was great to work with along with the rest of the VA team. The only downsides are: 1. you don't get a full-day rental, so you have to pay extra for additional hours (like if you want to get ready onsite).2. There is only one bathroom for guests since it was previously a residential property.3. Music must stay inside due to it being located in a residential area. This means the wooden doors must stay closed so it was hard to get all of our wedding guests on the dance floor since it was closed off.4. Latest you can end the night is midnight Other than these 4 downsides, I would definitely recommend VA as wedding venue! Reviewed on 23-08-2022
Taylor Silguero(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2022 Villa Antonia was the most perfect venue and I cannot say enough good things about it. The venue has a nickname of \"Tuscany in Texas\" and makes you feel like you aren't in central Texas when you are there. We got so many compliments on the venue about how amazing the views are and the design of the venue. Villa Antonia was the first venue we toured and we were 99% sure it was the one. We toured two more in Austin but they couldn't compare. Amy gave us our tour and really sold us on the venue. She was also so helpful in letting us come out and see the venue again when we needed to take extra photos, measurements, etc. while planning. Monica is the day of coordinator and is truly amazing. She was so responsive to my several texts, emails, and phone calls leading up to the wedding. She also made our wedding flow and execute perfectly. Going into our meeting with Monica a month before our wedding, we felt so stressed as we had what felt like 100 different vendors and all these individual parts but no clue how it was all going to come together. We left that meeting with Monica feeling so relieved and so much better as she brought all of those pieces together. On the day of the wedding, Monica was awesome coordinating everything and helped us feel stress free. Maria was also so amazing. She put the boutonniere on everyone, made sure my wife and I had a drink as soon as the ceremony was over, and was constantly checking on us the entire night to make sure we had what we needed.The bottom line is Amy, Monica, and Maria are the A Team and you have to get married at Villa Antonia. There is no reason not to. Reviewed on 22-08-2022

The grounds are so beautiful; there is an incredible view/backdrop in every single photo we took! The venue owner, Amy, is also amazing! She is so kind and professional! She had a complementary charcuterie board and champagne bottle waiting in the bridal suite upon my arrival, and she was super helpful in pointing out the best places on the property for pictures. If you are considering holding your event here or using this venue for your bridal or engagement photo sessions- DO IT! You will not regret it!

Guess who rolled with all the punches? Villa Antonia. They stuck by my side and helped me not once, but twice to find a new date that worked for me. After waiting 3 years for the big day to finally come, there was a massive thunderstorm! The ladies at Villa Antonia quickly jumped into action and implemented our Plan B.

This venue is absolutely beautiful! This is one of the only venues in the hill country that needs little to no decorations due to how breathtaking the scenery is.

Cassie L.(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2021 We originally fell in love with Villa Antonia because of its beautiful architecture and landscape: the romantic, castle-like buildings; the rolling hillside; the numerous different areas to discover and photograph (butterfly garden, waterfall, chapel, tower); and the flexibility of having both a beautiful outdoor and/or indoor wedding. However, when we started working with the staff at Villa Antonia, we realized we were getting so much more than just the beautiful space. First, they already had all the tables/chairs we needed for our wedding, so we did not need to invest in outside rentals. Second, their staff are knowledgeable and experienced in planning and hosting weddings specifically at Villa Antonia, which means they know what ideas will work and what will need to be done day-of to help things run smoothly. There were three Villa Antonia staff during our wedding – Emily, our day-of coordinator; Maria, who helped with moving things and dress-bustling; and Jim, the security/parking attendant. All of them had years of experience servicing Villa Antonia and, due to their help, we were able to sail through our wedding and actually enjoy ourselves rather than worrying about what needed to be done next or focus on any fires that needed to be put out. Emily took care of communication with all our vendors, both day-of and leading up to for day-of coordination, and Maria expertly helped with set-up and break-down of items (including dress-bustling!) that we barely noticed! We appreciated their help and presence every minute, and we realized the service we received couldn’t have been bought! The venue is well worth the money – you get a gorgeous, multifaceted space that comes with its own furniture and an exceptional staff that makes sure your wedding is everything you want it to be.

Drew & Victor S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-01-2022 This venue should be at the top of every couple's interest list, especially same-sex couples! I have nothing but praise for the venue and the staff at Villa Antonia. If the absolutely breathtaking views weren’t reason enough to get married here, the coordinators and support staff really do go all out to give you the best experience possible on your special day. My husband and I are a same-sex couple and were both initially drawn in by the diversity showcased on their website. However, the support and respect we felt throughout the entire planning process, as well as the day of the wedding, made everything perfect. This venue is a showstopper and we fell in love with it instantly; none of the other venues we toured could even compare. We are both so happy with our decision! Everyone here treated us like family and were genuinely excited to see our love story play out. Monica and Maria were so incredibly sweet and personable. Even though they do this for a living and probably see hundreds of couples a year, they really did a great job of making us feel special on the day of the wedding. They also both worked tirelessly to make the day a perfect, memorable success. We both really appreciated that level of investment and will miss working with them. Truly exceptional every step of the way! Reviewed on 23-01-2022
Kyle Wolf(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-12-2021 Quick Summary: Villa Antonia was one of the most incredible wedding venues I've been to and all their staff were top notch professionals! 100/10 would recommend!I'm writing this review coming from a unique perspective; I was a groomsman in a wedding on 12/20/21 but also the wedding planner for the couple so I was pulling double duty. I've been in this industry for what feels like forever and can say everyone at the Villa Antonia made this day as smooth and special as I wanted it to be for my friends. This was a destination wedding for the couple so it was especially important that we locked down all the details ahead of time so day of I would be playing the role of friend to the bride and groom, rather than wedding planner. Our day of coordinator, Emily, took special care to ensure that no details were missed. A few minor tablecloth issues were quickly resolved without fanfare and it was the smoothest wedding I could imagine! Thank you Emily and all the Villa staff for making that day so special and being so warm and accommodating throughout the planning process. Also, the building itself is gorgeous, no need to over the top decor. Between the incredible views from all angles to the unique architecture of the buildings, this venue stands out!100/10 would recommend! Reviewed on 06-01-2022
Gerry + Jackie Bauer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2021 Our wedding was this past weekend and it was an absolute dream. All our guests were swooning over the venue, it was absolutely beautiful. But what I really want to highlight was the attention to detail that Monica, Maria, and the Villa Antonia team made. We are from Chicago so I planned my entire wedding remotely, made layouts, directions, and handed all my details to Monica and Maria to take care of and not only did they make it happen, they went above and beyond. Monica is so damn good at her job and it shows. Maria was so wonderful too, whether it was guiding us and telling us where to be or putting a straw in my bottled water to make sure I didn't ruin my lipstick- it was the little details like that, that made our day just absolutely perfect in every way.

I specifically asked about their policy regarding postponement during our tour and Amy said the Villa would work with us if COVID was still an issue. We did book the venue after our tour. However, due to COVID and the international travel ban in France, we recently had to reach out to the venue to ask about postponing. Amy immediately responded and was very understanding. She sent us the policy for Villa Antonia. We were able to resell our date, which gave us more flexibility to choose an available date in 2022.

Lorreda Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-01-2021 We knew we wanted to do a fully DIY wedding but still needed a beautiful backdrop to serve as a canvas. As soon as we arrived at Villa Antonia, we were speechless and taken aback at how beautiful the venue was. It's atmosphere was romantic and magical at the same time. With so many options, you can be creative with how unique you wanted your wedding to be. The staff was just as amazing and was completely accommodating. We actually had to postpone our wedding during covid and they were so helpful with making something so stressful, so much easier. Chris was spectacular and a superstar. With her help and our coordinator Koehne Barlow, they made a miracle out of a wedding that was almost, just almost a last minute disaster especially with the wind. But they got their expertise together and took out their wands and voila.Our ceremony took place inside in the gorgeous chapel which had perfect lighting. Just enough for a romantic setting, yet bright enough for gorgeous photos and videos. Terra Vista string's music (recommended by Villa Antonia) echoed perfectly through the chapel and sounded phenomal, setting the perfect mood. The reception was on the terrace and spread throughout (for covid reasons). The heaters provided warmth yet created such a magical ambiance.We used Mopsie (super delicious!) as our caterer and chose the Texas BBQ. The ceremony and cocktail music was by Terra Vista. Both highly recommended by Villa Antonia. Terra Vista and DJ Saint from Complete Wedding and Events, played together whimsically and so profoundly, their fusion was one of the highlights of the night. Austin was known for live music, and we wanted to make sure that all of our guests (95% from out of town) can experience Austin's live music wonders.The night ended with dancing in the chapel which was spacious enough for crazy fun dancing and whatever you and your guest plan for the rest of the evening. We had snake dances, toss dances, line dancing, and tamborazo. Not to mention the garter and bouqeut toss.I can keep going and going about the wedding but I'd be writing a book. Our wedding is still talked about, and was said to be the wedding of the century! Lol. I wish the day last much longer, or at least keep replaying. You can view our wedding on Youtube and see for yourself. Some things, we just can't even put into words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rorhrx1WYCQ&t=110sBy the way, we even booked a photo session to get more intimate pictures of our family and redo some poses we missed because our day was cut short due to winter's hours.

A few years later it ended up being the first wedding venue we viewed. While we also went on tours of other venues that peaked our interest, my heart always came back to Villa Antonia.Villa Antonia truly helped my dream wedding vision come to life. The detailed architecture and intricate design were highly complemented by my guests, who also loved all of the open indoor and outdoor space. With the timing and amazing weather that day, the ceremony was perfect on the terrace overlooking the hill country and the changing fall colors (reason for choosing November). Also because of the size, it was easy to put together a dream option for great or bad weather, without having to sacrifice my vision for the day.I wouldn't have changed anything about the day or the venue and highly recommend Villa Antonia as a ceremony and reception venue.

When the pandemic hit, we were hoping that it would be cleared up by October, and we waited it out for as long as we could, but by May we reached out to Villa Antonia to do our diligence about postponing.Most other venues appeared to be dealing with the pandemic appropriately, so we were hopeful. However, Villa Antonia refused to deal with us reasonably, from May and through continuous conversations up until now, essentially ignoring many of our concerns and signing off with \"happy planning!\" We paid premium price—$7,500—for a Saturday wedding in October, but the venue only gave us these options:•\tGo through with an extremely dangerous event (for our families and the community)•\tSwitch to a Monday through Thursday in 2021 at the premium price we'd already paid (even though these usually cost $4,000)•\tAn additional $500 fee for any open date in January or February (even though generally Friday and Sunday events in these months cost $500 LESS)•\tOr a $1,200 fee for any Friday or Sunday in the hottest months of the year (June, July, or August, even though these usually cost between $5,300 and $5,800).The fees wouldn't apply if our date was re-booked by someone else, and we could pick a future open date in that instance, but we would still have to pay the premium price for a future, potentially non-premium date (and none of the dates available were ideal for us). In the more likely situation that nobody re-books—and nobody has, for the obvious reason that it's not safe to do so—we will have to make the choice of hosting an extraordinarily unsafe event or paying MORE than what the venue would typically charge for an event in 2021. This sort of exploitation is unacceptable during a pandemic.So many venues seem to have been compassionate and also just done the right thing during the pandemic, while Villa Antonia has used the pandemic as an opportunity to make more money, either by trying to force us to have an unsafe event or guilt us into paying a premium for other dates in 2021, just to cash in on the pandemic. It appears that one of the owners is a lawyer for a pharmaceutical company, so while this money over morals approach to business is light of her professional endeavors, it is nevertheless disappointing.Before booking a wedding with Villa Antonia, we suggest considering how they have treated others and treated their community in a time of need, and consider accordingly how they might treat you.

Marcus Molina(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-02-2020 Securing the Villa Antonia is like having cheat codes to having the best wedding possible. I don't think there is a nicer wedding venue this side of being a celebrity or millionaire. And even if you were, you would still want to book this place. Although your mind makes you want to think it's hard to get to, nobody had trouble finding the place, and once there, the setting around the venue, and every detail of the venue itself provided an absurdly enchanting experience. The staff that they had helping us out, mainly Chris Spady, was a superstar standout. I'm so glad we stuck with this venue. It was a hit. The pictures are fabulous. And my memories of my night there will be cherished for as long as I am around. Reviewed on 22-02-2020
Marla Roper(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-10-2019 This venue is absolutely breathtaking both inside and outside. We had our ceremony outside and 10 minutes after it started pouring so we had the reception indoors and it was amazing to be able to take advantage of all the spaces in the Villa. Chris, the on-site day of coordinater made sure everything was on time and stress free for us! I really appreciated that support especially when trying to make a rain plan and getting all the vendors on the same page. We got so many compliments on the beauty and class of the event space.

Everything about this venue is so perfect, from the Italian villa vibes, the view overlooking Lake Travis, and all of the different spaces you can utilize at this venue. Chris Spady, the venue coordinator, is such a joy to work with and was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions (which was a lot since I was planning an Austin wedding from Dallas). Our friends and family could not stop talking about how beautiful our venue was, and I really believe pictures don't do this place justice. This was the only venue we looked at because I knew before we had even parked the car for our tour that we wouldn't find anything as breathtaking as this venue.

The Italian villa feel, the stunning views, the endless space....it is all gorgeous. But, the real MVP of Villa Antonia is the service. Our coordinator, Chris Spady, was flawless. Aside from taking a group of stressed out people and making them each shine, she took care of every single detail...up to and including wrestling my wife's bustle into submission.

First, let me just say that these pictures do not do Villa justice, it is 50x more beautiful and stunning in real life! We hardly got any decorations because the venue was gorgeous enough on its own!! While the venue was beautiful and reasonably priced, it's really the staff that I want to brag on because they are what made our wedding day so incredible! Chris Spady and her assistant Maria are two of the most wonderful people to work with! They are so attentive and you can tell they have been doing this for a long time because they made it look so easy! Chris helped us coordinate EVERYTHING about our wedding day, and gave us so much peace of mind for the big day! She took care of everything from telling our bridal party when to walk down the aisle to handing out the sparklers before our send off, and she did an incredible job! Maria was even kind enough to safety pin the train of my dress after it kept falling during the reception! Our wedding would not have been as fun and easy as it was if it weren't for these two lovely ladies and Dave, who served as our security officer and parking attendant during the evening.

Caroline Tran(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-12-2019 My review and 5 star rating is based on our tour of Villa Antonia. We are from Houston. Our little brother and his fiance' are military living in Maryland and could not fly out to visit wedding venues. We are a tight knit family and would do anything for family!We arrived about 20 mins late. We apologized to Jim, who is our tour guide. He is so professional and patient with us. Upon arriving to the Villa Antonia, there is some anticipation. You get there and the views, the estate is breath-taking! But having Jim there really help us imagine a wedding filled with fantastic moments our family is about to part-take in.There are so many places to take pictures. I think that was what made our tour the longest. lol Villa Antonia is absolutely hands down, one of the best venues in Austin. We are narrowing down the dates! We can't wait to experience Villa Antonia! Make beautiful memories! It is like you are in Europe!Thank you Jim for taking the time to give us a great tour!

Alyssa Losure(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-12-2018 We got married at the villa in December 2018 and it was just as beautiful to everyone else as it was to us when we first laid eyes on it and knew we had to get married there! Everyone said it was the most beautiful venue they have ever been to and they are not wrong. All the little details and natural beauty can also save you some money because it does not need an extravagant amount of decor. Pros: 1)Chris Spady, she is truly the icing on the cake. She was so helpful and kept us organized and on track because when it comes down to the actual wedding, you might think you’re prepared but factor in 100+ guests and all the things that come up with that, and wahla you’re not organized anymore! So she really helped us and was sweet as can be. 2) the venue itself is beyond beautiful. Take advantage of all the beautiful sites for photos. 3) they require that your photographer shoot there before your wedding. This helped us a lot because it prepared us for what to expect and what pictures we prefer. 4) there was not a wedding there the night before so we got to drop off all the decor there the night before which saved us a lot of time as this was a destination wedding for us with limited transportation Cons: the time allowed on site per contract. The groom and bridal suites are GORGEOUS but it’s $300 an hour outside of your contract time to use them, so I had 8 bridesmaids and there was no way I was going to pay an extra $2400 just to do hair and makeup there. It was a big bummer to me because I loved the suite and had so many photo ideas but it was way out of our budget for that. I feel like because we could not get ready there I didn’t get a lot of the photos I wanted taken and it became very chaotic when we arrived because we arrived at the same time as guests (due to the contract) and we missed getting dressed shots, first look with family, etc. everyone was all over the place. 2) because of the contract time I had no control over how the decor looked or table settings were. I had no way to talk to DJ to let him know my grandpa was coming straight from the hospital with ammonia so the dj still asked him to say a prayer at dinner and he was so embarrassed because he couldn’t speak. It was all just a little to chaotic because you feel rushed. So if you have over $10,400 just for the venue then you will be relaxed as ever. Other than that I do not regret booking the villa. Was a dream come true. Reviewed on 14-01-2019

I was a little skimpy on our decoration budget, but thankfully, this space really doesn't require a lot of extra fluff aside from some cute flowers! What originally sold me on it was the fact that their indoor and outdoor spaces were equally beautiful to me (I didn't want to leave too much to chance with the weather). One thing I will say is that friends tried to convince me to have my July wedding on the gorgeous patio, if you're debating as well, just know it will likely be way to hot in summer.

I loved the warmth of the architecture and the old world charm and atmosphere. It looked like it could have come right out of the pages of one of my daughter's travel journals...to me it reflected Lauren and Buck's love of travel perfectly! While there , I felt like I could have been in Italy or numerous other places around the world, and I loved the fact that it showed people a whole different side of Texas and the Texas Hill Country! One of the most attractive features that Villa Antonia had to offer, over the other venues, was the Day of Coordinator, and I must admit that that was a huge selling point for me. I knew that I could plan a wedding, but knowing my personality, I also knew that I needed someone to take over the day of the actual wedding so that I would be free to enjoy this special day. Not only did I get a fabulous Day of Coordinator, but also her amazing assistant, Maria. Chris, did such an amazing job, and there truly aren't enough positive adjectives in my vocabulary to express how grateful I was to have her and Maria working with me on the day of the wedding. My husband even asked if she had a twin because everywhere he looked she was there! Throughout the wedding weekend, my sisters and other guests continued to compliment her and express their thanks for things that she had done that were totally unbeknownst to me. She remained on top of every situation throughout the entire evening, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that that was why things ran so flawlessly. Another member of the team that I want to give a big shout out to is Elizabeth. She invited us to an open house and was our initial contact at Villa Antonia. She is friendly, outgoing, and immediately puts you at ease as she shows you around and schedules your date. What an asset she is to the team. Seldom is a venue successful in and of itself. You may have the perfect setting or location, that is further enhanced by beautiful architecture and location, and there is no doubt that all of those qualities add to the venue's appeal . However; the greatest selling point for me was definitley the caring, dedicated staff. From the time we meet Elizabeth, who was our 1st contact, until we concluded the evening with Chris and Maria, we were in execellent hands and that was the ultimate gift!

Andrea Gloria Gonzalez(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2012 In the past 13 years, I have attended many weddings in Austin and have attended as a guest, bridal party member, and the bride. Last fall, I was able to experience Villa Antonia as a bridal party member and it was wonderful. From the initial tour of the villa, to an open house, to the rehearsal, and on the wedding day- every experience was enjoyable. The old world look of the Villa is at once the dramatic and interesting backdrop everyone wants for whatever occasion they are planning. While there is very little need to decorate the gorgeous grounds, the options are endless as to how the Villa can be decorated for your specific event. Because the grounds include many different spaces, the thought of decorating can be overwhelming, but the staff work with you to offer suggestions and guidance on how to create the unique setting you have in mind for your special event. Being in the bridal party in my brother's wedding there was enjoyable and comfortable. Having plenty of space to get ready while taking care of my children, nurse, and participate in the festivities. I am so appreciative for the experience and wish I would have known about Villa Antonia when I got married in Austin!

Absolutely loved my wedding due to gaining my husband obviously but also because of the beautiful venue and Chris and her amazing staff. Reviewed on 08-02-2017
Rachel Schermerhorn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-01-2017 WOW is all I can say about this venue. I was married there this month, and it was absolutely perfect. Despite being in early January after a freeze, the foliage was beautiful. The architecture is stunning, STUNNING! But most importantly, Ms. Chris, the venue coordinator, will make your wedding day so easy and fun. She contacts all of your vendors in the week before to ensure everyone is on the same page, then coordinates all deliveries and sets up everything - from dinner tables to guest books. There was water and champagne in the bridal suite from the moment we arrived, and her assistant made sure the groom and I had snacks while we took pictures during cocktail hour. The assistant also went around with me, helped me with my dress, and made sure my groom and I ALWAYS had drinks in hand, and just generally treated us like royalty. It was a crazy and amazing experience.Your wedding is going to fly by - choosing this venue will help you to enjoy every last minute :) Reviewed on 17-01-2017
Maggie Wells(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2016 From the moment I stepped onto the cobbled stone, I knew I was getting married at Villa Antonia. The views, the bridal suite, the atmosphere - it was all perfection. And perfection wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the fabulous day-of coordinator, Chris. Thank you for hosting the most memorable day of my life! Reviewed on 01-11-2016
Thomas Goodell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2016 Villa Antonia was not only a gorgeous venue, but the staff was extremely helpful! I cannot praise this venue enough! Chris Spady and her team were incredible! Our wedding went so smoothly and it was all to them! We didn't have to worry about anything (timeline, where to be, etc.) except of course to get married! This is a absolutely beautiful venue that really shows the hidden beauty of Texas. We received so much praise on how perfect our wedding was and gorgeous the venue was!!

Jessica Ognian(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2016 The venue is in the perfect location, high in the hill country looking out onto the hillside. The venue perfectly compliments the beauty of the sceanary, creating the perfect romantic setting for weddings. The staff at Villa Antonia had been instrumental in assuring our special day is perfect and the execution is seamless. Wedding planning can be overwhelming at times and their wedding coordinator helps to guide and paint a picture, bringing all the components of the day come together. Their staff have been along side us each step of the way helping us connect with vendors, solidify timeliness, and create opportunitit's for creativity to meet our vision. With our wedding day around the corner, we feel the support and care from the venue like and could not be happier with our selection. Reviewed on 24-10-2016
Katye Hamlin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2016 This venue is all around amazing. We got married here at the end of May, and we couldn't have dreamed of a better place to get married or better people to work with. This place just fit us. We initially worked with the previous owner last fall to book the venue, but we've met the new ownership, and the venue seems to be in great hands. Especially since Ms. Chris is still there! :) She worked so hard leading up to the wedding and the day-of to make sure our wedding ran smoothly. On top of everything, she is the sweetest, but knows how to keep people organized and on track. Like with every wedding, there may be a day-of hiccup here and there, but because of Chris, we were able to enjoy our day and not worry. That was even with an ER visit by my Poppy. So many of our guests said this was the most beautiful venue they've ever seen, and I'd have to agree. You are crazy not to get married here! Reviewed on 25-06-2016
karen cole(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-01-2017 Dear Matt and Kate - owners of Villa Antonia,Saying \"Thank you\" cannot adequately express how we feel about the whole wedding day experience at the incredibly gorgeous Villa Antonia. When our daughter, Dallas and her fiance called us to say they had found the \"perfect\" place for their wedding, we were so happy for them - but elated, when we got to see it for ourselves. Your staff and property can only be described one word.....a \" fairytale\" - making dreams come true. Chris and Maria, your on-site wedding coordinators, in addition to all the vendors we worked with during the planning process, were simply incredible. The vendors you recommend know your staff and facility and execute their roles flawlessly. The Villa staff is so accommodating and we could not have asked for a more perfect day for the bride and groom. Villa Antonia feels like a taste of Italy ~ all our guests enjoyed the view of Lake Travis and the rolling terrain, while the breeze kept everyone reminiscing of the beautiful ceremony and amazing dinner. Everyone was so relaxed and comfortable as we moved around the Villa and it's gardens. From the moment we met you and your staff, and all the way through to the last dance, we felt Villa Antonia was our own home. Your staff's sincere care and attention was noticed and genuinely appreciated.It literally still brings tears every time I look back on how beautiful the day turned out, but more importantly the friends I made during this year journey of planning my daughter's wedding. Your group has become my family. I can't imagine sharing this amazing day with anyone else.Best wishes to continued success. You have already uncovered the key ~ a passion to serve others. A gorgeous venue. And a desire to ensure that a couple and their guests experience their best day of their life ....with your family.Thank You for making our dreams come true:)Love,The Cole Family Reviewed on 07-06-2016
Rebecca Valek(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-04-2016 We chose to have our wedding at Villa Antonia and it was one of the best decisions we made. The venue and its views over the hill country were breathtaking and charmed all of our guests. Many guests said they felt like we were in Italy due to the architecture and views. The venue is beautiful at every turn and was a great conversation piece the whole night. Working with Chris the coordinator was also easy and stress free. She gave helpful venue information and input when planning our day-of wedding timeline. We booked on a Sunday which helped out with budget but many of our guests did leave early because of Monday workdays. Booking at Villa Antonia will help bump your wedding experience to the next level. Reviewed on 28-04-2016
Anonymous (wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-03-2016 What a magical place to get married! Chris, the in-house wedding coordinator calms nerves, takes charge and everything runs smoothly. My daughter's wedding was beautiful. Guests were so in awe of the beauty of it all. We only had her ceremony there but it was a on a beautiful spring morning and we had her ceremony on the terrace. Having only the ceremony there kept it within our budget so that's something to keep in mind. Reviewed on 30-03-2016
Ellen Bock(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2016 I don't have enough great things to say about Villa Antonia. The venue coordinator, Ms. Chris is absolutely amazing. She held my hand and walked me through several appointments, phone calls, and emails. As an out of town couple (from Houston) she made things an absolute breeze. We got married 3/19/2016 to kick off the season and it was perfect. When weather turned cold last minute she helped move dinner indoors day of and it turned out beautifully. She also helped set up my centerpieces and place things out everywhere. Day of she was discreetly at my side occasionally to let me know what was happening and when. FANTASTIC! Regarding the venue... it's just gorgeous. There is a plan A, B, and C and they are so happy to work with whatever you want. With Lake Travis up, the view is stunning. Perfection!Finally, Elizabeth the marketing coordinator helped as well. Since we were out of town she recommended a welcome Cocktail hour at The Domain, Punch Bowl Social. It was very cool and our guests loved it. The entire process was perfect. I always felt taken care of, had peace of mind, and our guests just raved about how gorgeous the wedding was. Success!

All of my dreams came true when my fiance and I married on the evening of June 7, 2015 at the gorgeous venue of Villa Antonia overlooking the beautiful Hill Country. As a wedding photographer myself, I have been at many gorgeous venues but this has always been my favorite. It is the most photogenic venue around Austin! Besides the beauty of the Villa, the layout space made for a lovely and comfortable time for my our guests and the evening flowed from one space to the next as we had different areas for the ceremony, cocktails and appetizers, the formal dinner, and dancing. Under the direction of Chris and Maria, every detail was taken care of and my wedding was flawless. Reviewed on 19-08-2015
Audrea Spakes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2015 When looking for venues that we could have our wedding ceremony and reception indoors, we came across Villa Antonia. This venue has so many different options, we loved the fact we would not have to flip the space and have our guests waiting. \r\rAt first we were concerned about the drive, but the extras that the staff offer are above and beyond!\r\rChris, Maria, and Jim made our wedding even more special with all of their attention to detail and quick thinking (since every bride in 2015 has had to have a rain plan). I don't think we could have pulled everything off without them - nor would want to.\r\rI cannot wait to get our pictures back because our guests have not been able to stop telling us how beautiful everything was. We are SO glad we picked Villa Antonia!!! Reviewed on 18-07-2015
Christine Dehoux(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-07-2015 Our guests called this venue \"Heaven on Earth\". We chose a venue that spoke for itself, while showing off the Texas hill country as we had many guests from out of town. The attention to details made this one by far the most beautiful location we visited. The staff was kind, courteous, and prompt in helping us. Our day of wedding coordinator provided by the venue, Chris, made sure to check in periodically if she hadn't heard from me first. While this venue was more than we had planned on spending, it was worth every penny. Our guests continued to be amazed throughout the wedding because we moved from the Lakeview Terrace to the Chapel to the Wine Cellar for different parts of the evening. There were many other places that they were able to go off and explore for photo ops. Reviewed on 12-07-2015
Amy Scanio(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-04-2015 I have wanted to get married here since first laying eyes on the wedding venue when my brother considered it a few years back (they ended up marrying in Florida). My wedding was in October and it was absolutely breathtaking . The Villa itself looks like a castle straight from a fairytale with the ornate foliage and beautiful architecture overlooking the hill country. \r\rIncluded in the cost of the venue is the wedding coordinator- Chris. She is fantastic! I planned the entire wedding with my mom and I am an extremely meticulous person. However, Chris blew me away with her attention to detail in making sure that every single item was covered, and all the while coordinating with my vendors. She had great insight to the venue and what flows best, which was extremely helpful and made the wedding day go off without a hitch. Knowing Chris was there with Maria (her assistant) to help me on the actual day, put my mind at complete ease and allowed my wedding party to have a blast without the burden of much responsibility. Going into the process I had no idea how frantic and detailed everything needs to be down to the minute (despite reading reviews), but in hindsight I can see now just how valuable a day of coordinator is to the event. \r\rI have been to many weddings in Austin and Villa Antonia is hands down my favorite, both before and after having a wedding there!

Kelsie Heppler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-09-2014 Villa Antonia was an unbelievable gorgeous wedding venue. They have numerous areas where you can choose to have your ceremony (all are gorgeous!) and all the grounds have amazing views of the Austin hill country. Our wedding was several weeks ago and we still have family and friends talking about how incredible everything was and that it was the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever seen! The venue coordinator, Chris did an awesome job and is very helpful. She is so organized and keeps you on track the entire day/evening. She also does a great job with helping you plan and coordinate with all your other vendors (catering company, DJ, photographer, florist)so they know when to arrive the day of, what they're responsible for etc. The only reason I gave a not perfect score for service was because on occasion, when the wedding was still a ways out, they were a little delayed in responding to emails when I had questions. A few months out though, and they were very timely when responding to phone calls and questions. I highly recommend this wedding venue and without a doubt can say that this is by far the best venue in Austin, if not in the entire state of Texas! Reviewed on 07-10-2014
