Why Is Woodbine Mansion One of the Best Historic Wedding Venues Near Austin?
Simply put, it has character.
There are plenty of beautiful wedding venues in Texas, but very few have the history and architectural charm that Woodbine Mansion offers.
The original mansion has been lovingly restored while preserving its historic details, from grand staircases and elegant parlors to original chandeliers and timeless Neoclassical architecture. Outside, the expansive gardens provide countless opportunities for portraits throughout every season.
