Dominic not only hosted but he helped us set up with time to spare. The place was clean and spacious, he was very welcoming to guests and other professionals we hired. I would absolutely recommend this space especially if you have parking concerns for large groups. And if you want to encourage dancing there's plenty of space for seating and a dance floor.

Our family booked this home for our mom’s 90th birthday dinner and it was the perfect place — beautifully designed with lovely outdoor and indoor space for our 30 family members. The host was so welcoming and communicative. Our photographer was impressed with the natural light and our group photos turned out gorgeous. I would definitely rent this home again for a special dinner party.

I was in love with the place when I saw the pictures and the place turned out to be exactly what we expected. Susana and her husband were great hosts. They answered all of our questions, patiently, and helped us during the event day too with instructions. Our guests were impressed with the venue. I definitely recommend this place.

I loved using Susana’s house for my Moulin Rouge event. She was accommodating with any requests, easy to work with, and very professional. My guests loved the fountain in the courtyard! I will definitely use this space again.

Carmel’s property is stunning. I used the space for a private Silk Road event for my private speakeasy club, and I literally did nothing but show up with my cocktail gear and serve my guests. She was flexible, kind, and easy to work with. I will definitely use this property again!

Austin has diverse outdoor spaces with breathtaking views and all the trapping of what it takes to host a memorable celebration. Knowing the setbacks you might face, how to solve them, and the merits of renting an outdoor party space in this friendly Texan metropolis can point you toward the best venue.

Advantages

  • "Bat City" has a population initially born in different parts of the globe. The diversity creates a welcoming atmosphere, the precise environment you need at your celebration.

  • Everyone will give the food at your event a thumbs-up! You can get farm-to-table services from the city's top restaurants.

  • "Hippie Haven" has warm, sunny weather year-round. The pleasant conditions are the best pitch for its outdoor spaces, backed by the scenic party venues around town.

Disadvantages

  • Filming outdoors can be uncomfortable in summer. However, many studios provide indoor and outdoor access, and many outdoor production locations have shaded areas.

  • The city's traffic can create production delays. I-35 and US I-183 are some of the highways with the worst congestion, so keep this in mind when planning your movements.

  • Public transportation has a limited reach, and your best bet to stay on track is to rent production vehicles.

  • Gardens – Weddings. A garden is the quintessential wedding backdrop, and Austin, Texas, has many breathtaking options. As event settings, most are pre-lit and decorated, with room for event-specific customizations.

  • Outdoor Patios – Small Gatherings. An outdoor patio is the place to host an intimate brunch or lunch with friends. The venue can host casual gatherings, but you can also make it an elegant space by playing live music in the background.

Planning Your Outdoor Celebration in Austin

From choosing tablescape settings to choosing decorations, a lot goes into planning a special occasion. Booking the best outdoor space gets half the work done, and Giggster has listings in Austin. Once you've found your space, use these ideas to host a memorable and fun event.

Choose the Best Venue – Your party space sets the tone for the occasion, and you should spend more time finding a venue that meets all your needs. Whether you want somewhere with picnic tables or an establishment with door security services, the city has the perfect setting.

Work On Your Guest List – Creating a guest list is easier said than done because it involves gathering your favorite people in one place and only inviting those who should attend. Weddings provide the best reference; invite those you love, skip the ones you've lost contact with, and consider your budget.

Create a Menu The reason you've gathered guests to celebrate and the chosen venue have a hand in determining your menu. If it's somewhere that serves craft cocktails or happy hour drinks, by all means, include them in your menu. You should also use in-house catering services or work with a caterer.

Schedule Entertainment – Hire a band, DJ, or magician to entertain guests. You can also hire a mixologist to teach you and your guests how to make signature cocktails.

How to Save Money on Your Outdoor Party in Austin

Planning an outdoor gathering can significantly set you back, especially in Austin, TX! With these budget-friendly ideas, you can pull off a memorable wedding, birthday, or other social event.

Search Downtown Austin venues and beyond.

A downtown garden or park will cost more to rent. Explore spaces in outlying neighborhoods, which typically cost a fraction of the cost! Giggster can connect you with diverse event spaces, enabling you to browse a list of potentials in one click!

Timing does matter.

Are you hosting a night event or a function that will run all day? Answering this question can save you a chunk of money because, in most cases, you only need to rent a space for the timeframe you'll use it. So, make it a top priority to schedule your gathering with a little wiggle room to account for setbacks and delays.

Host your private event on an outdoor patio.

A patio is the best setting for an intimate gathering; hosting a small event will cost less. Keeping your guest list small means the event will be more fun, and it helps scale back on high-budget items, like catering and venue choice.
