Austin micro weddings and elopements are becoming increasingly popular. At Red Ridge Receptions, we have over a decade of experience hosting small weddings and elopements at our venue near Austin, Texas, and we’ve helped couples book as few as two weeks before their wedding date!
If you are dreaming of an intimate and meaningful ceremony, our all-inclusive micro wedding and elopement packages are perfect for you. With a smaller guest list and reduced stress compared to larger weddings, these packages allow for more intimate moments and deeper interactions with your guests.
These all-inclusive services include a comprehensive online planning portal accessible upon booking, help with the creation of timelines, floor plans, processionals, and customized wedding music. On the wedding day, our dedicated team manages every detail seamlessly.
Why should you consider Red Ridge Receptions for your Austin Micro Wedding or Austin Elopement?
Red Ridge Receptions offers the best blend of beautiful hill country views surrounded by nature, a climate controlled venue, and elegant grand room.
You’ll love our breathtaking panoramic views as you say your vows from one of our hilltop ceremony locations among the towering pines and full oak trees of the Colorado River Valley. You can choose between our ceremony lawn or the custom iron arbor, with both options providing a beautiful backdrop.
Following your intimate ceremony guests will continue your celebrations taking in the epic hill country views from our outdoor deck with bistro lighting and our elegant Grande Room with awe-inspiring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.
We offer a full-service, all-inclusive experience for our couples planning your micro-wedding or elopement from start to finish, allowing you to fully enjoy your wedding without having to do any "work" on your wedding day. Our staff will make sure you have the time and peace of mind to truly enjoy every moment of your wedding experience.
You can still have a beautiful wedding ceremony and photos without the cost of a full wedding reception or the impersonal experience of going to a courthouse or chapel.

Downtown Austin is just over 45 minutes away, allowing guests to experience all the history and charm of Austin while also enjoying the picturesque views of the Colorado River valley at Red Ridge Receptions.

When you book with us, we’ll give you access to a personal planning portal with forms specific to micro and mini weddings! The forms include: floorplan, timeline, processional, music, vendor list, bar menu, and décor selections.
We’re available to help answer questions as you go through these forms. After your forms are complete, we put together a production schedule and let you go through it and make any edits before the big day. We send this to your vendors and confirm the timeline with them, as well.
On the wedding day, our team handles all set up/breakdown and manages the timeline. We want you to be able to truly relax and enjoy your day! Bonus: Your wedding party and family also gets to relax while our team handles the details!
Do I get to pick out my own music?
We want to play the music YOU want to hear! We provide a music survey online where you can let us know all of your song selections for your ceremony, special dances, cake cutting, etc… There are tons of suggestions on the form and you’re also able to give us a must play and do not play list.
Can I bring in my own decorations?
We have lots of in-house décor and faux floral that you’re welcome to use. You can absolutely bring in your own decorations and finishing touches! Our team does a full set up and breakdown of everything on the wedding day and we even pack up and load all of your décor, gifts and leftover food and alcohol at the end of the event. DIY floral must be pre-assembled beforehand.
Can I schedule a rehearsal before my wedding date?
For micro and mini weddings, we only offer a same day rehearsal and this is included in your rental time. The rehearsal generally takes about 20 minutes with a small wedding party. If you do not plan to see each other before the ceremony, that’s no problem! We generally do a run through with the bride + wedding party and a separate run through with the groom.
