The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is the most popular centrally located Austin wedding venue that *feels* like the Hill Country. While there isn’t any lodging on site, it’s location only 15 minutes from south Austin means you have a ton of choices for hotels nearby.
The Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center can accommodate up to 150 guests. This includes seated dinners, cocktail-style events, and ceremonies inside or out.
Speaking as someone who inquired with the Wildflower Center for their own wedding, the recommended vendor list is extensive, but I recommend you plan with one of the preferred coordinators such as Kristin Catter Events. Having a full-service planner will alleviate SO MUCH stress about budget, logistics and hiring the best vendors – trust me.
How many hours of photography will you need for your wedding at the Wildflower Center?
You should book a minimum of 8 hours of photography to document you getting into your dress on location at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center all the way to the grand exit with your getaway car.
9-10 hours is the sweet spot if your wedding photography goals include getting ready photos, pre-ceremony details of your invitation suite or more editorial newlywed portraits. Having more hours allows for a smoother, more flexible photography timeline so you don’t feel rushed and over posed. The amount of options for your newlywed portraits is almost overwhelming sometimes! But with an experienced wedding photographer you won’t need to create a shot list and instead can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
What caterers do you love for Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center weddings?
Food can make or break your guests’ experience and with recent caterers going under without warning, it’s important to go with a reputable company. Serve up some amazing farm to table catering using Root Cellar, or change it up and feed your guests Southern Asian-Fusion with The Peached Tortilla.
