Like other recent engaged couples our wedding planning was a whirlwind. We toured several venues in early 2020 and fell in love as soon as we visited The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. We knew immediately that it was the perfect venue for us! The open fields, vineyards, tent, and giant oak trees really embodied what we were looking for in a Hill Country wedding. We could not believe such an amazing venue is located in south Austin, so close to guest accommodations and dining areas all within 5 miles. We immediately booked! Krista was wonderful to work with.Due to Covid 19, we decided to postpone our wedding to 2021. Krista was very understanding and worked with us on a new date for the following year. She really made us feel supported the entire way and was always easy to reach with any questions we had asap! The venue really is amazing, all chairs and tables were included, and is pet friendly. Rental furniture was also included which really made the whole experience so much easier. They even allowed me and my bridesmaids to arrive hours early for hair + make up. The bridal suite is fully set up to accommodate hair + make up services (I had 7 bridesmaids and we had plenty of room to lounge and get ready).We also hired the Day of Coordinator Catherine. She truly is AMAZING! We cannot recommend her enough! All throughout the entire process she answered any questions we had and met with us to plan the entire wedding day a few weeks before the wedding. On our wedding day she made everything go smoothly. She worked amazingly with all of our vendors and made the wedding of our dreams come true, while making sure we enjoyed ourselves!We also took advantage of the lodging options offered by the venue. My husband and I spent the night in the gorgeous bridal suite!!!We definitely recommend the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding venue!

We toured several venues before choosing The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge, but once we visited, we knew right away that it was the venue for us. We were so in love with the fields and fields of wild flowers surrounding us and the open-air feeling of the giant white tent. And we chose right - our wedding was such a dream! Although we did have our own wedding planner, Catherine, the venue manager, was beyond helpful! She was so responsive to all of my emails and questions, and we just felt so supported throughout the entire wedding planning process - even through Covid. There are so many added bonuses that came along with our venue: 1) furniture rentals included! We were able to choose a few gorgeous couches and chairs to create a cool seating vignette for our guests to hang out in. 2) Lodging! We took FULL advantage of all of the lodging options provided. Our entire bridal party (16+ their spouses and dates) were able to stay overnight comfortably using the huge, adorable cabin on the property and the very well kept rooms in the lodge. The also provided the absolutely gorgeous bridal suite for me and my now husband to stay in on the night of our wedding. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a partially-outdoor wedding. (I recommend April - the weather was perfect!) You cannot beat the views, the vibes or the professionalism of this place. Thank you VCL!!

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding at this venue and it was PERFECTION! The venue was gorgeous, the staff was attentive and we had a beautiful night. Having the wedding coordinator Catherine was a HUGE plus! She really made this day as stress free as possible for my friend. There were so many moving parts that day and Catherine really handled things so we could enjoy the special day. Would absolutely recommend this venue!!

We absolutely adored our wedding venue, not only because the venue itself was beautiful and met our needs, but because of the staff that works for VCL. From our first interaction with the sales staff, to meeting the owners, to our fabulous day-of wedding coordinator, Catherine, the staff at VCL was welcoming, helpful, and professional. Their jobs are certainly not made easy during a pandemic, but they remained professional and supportive throughout. We received so many compliments from guests who attended. We are so appreciative of Catherine for making our big day less stressful and hectic, and for refocusing our energies on the things that truly mattered. My husband and I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion. Weve even discussed returning someday way into the future to renew our vows! Five stars. Highly recommend.

As with many Spring 2020 weddings, our wedding unfortunately had to be postponed. Our original venue didnt have any openings until July 2021 and we were lost at what to do. We began our search for a new venue and found The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. How we missed them in our original search we dont know but we couldnt be happier we finally found them. We decided to move our wedding to the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge in May 2021. When we told Krista we were still planning on getting legally married somewhere in Austin on our original date she offered the option to get legally married at the venue. After facing so many roadblocks we finally felt like wed be handed some positive information.Krista set up a lounging area for our immediate family and put out chairs for our little ceremony. The day couldnt have been more perfect and the venue is so fitting for us. Kristas kindness and willingness to help us during these odd times was so refreshing. Greg and I are already thinking about how we can make our 2021 ceremony there even more special and even though we were bummed we couldnt have our big wedding this May we are so fortunate to have found this amazing venue.If youre looking for a venue that provides beautiful scenery, and amazing people to work with, the The Vineyards at Chapel Lodge is your place :)Included are a few pictures from our special day!

This venue is beautiful, accommodating, AND has a great coordinator onsite that can be hired. Since the grounds can speak for themselves on a tour, I will focus a lot on the seevice. Shout-out to Catherine! She kept our event running very smoothly and was ready to put anyone in their place that wasnt making our day perfect. We threw a few last minute detail changes her way and she rolled with them with ease. Thanks so much for helping us have the most amazing day!

Beautiful wedding. Was not impressed with the staff when we went for pickup by an Uber...we had to walk the driveway in formal wear (and heels) in the dark.They COULD have offered us a ride in the golf cart or had better arrangements for people who attend and get rides. Which is COMMON and often requested at wedding venues!Edited: You do have an 8 person golf cart, but the employee on duty when asked to assist us told us that was not her job. So even though available is does not always run or accommodate guests.

My daughter was married there last month. The directions lead our guests to a locked gate. When we asked the Day Of Event coordinator to open the gate she told us to use our QR code. The woman was rude and disrespectful to our guest the rest of the day. She decided she would be the one to cut the cake and she butchered it.She was demanding. Several of our guest mentioned how rude she was. Would never recommend.As far as your response regarding Catherine, she butchered our cake. Several friends went to take over and she replied I know how to cut a cake. We werent even ready for cake cutting when she started.Im super glad other people had a good experience. She was awful to and for us.

If you are looking for a romantic, charming wedding venue this is your venue. As a wedding photographer,​ I have photographed numerous weddings here and it is always stunning, here is why:The large trees give perfect coverage for a romantic ceremony site during the day or at dusk.The lighting here is incredible and they have a small vineyard, perfect for the romantic capture.There are so many locations for beautiful portraits including the tall grass field, the entry doors or the vineyard.The venue is dog-friendly​y so mans best friend is welcome.The team that makes up this venue is professional and attentive to everyones needs.The reception overlooks gorgeous greenery and the strands of light still allow you to see the stars above.The sound from bands or the DJ really bring the party!Overall this is one of my preferred venues to photograph at because it is natural, well manicured and romantic. Highly recommend!

I recently attended a girls weekend at VCL and stayed at the Cabin. The property is stunning and the cabin was cozy and relaxing. We spent most of our time at the bench located outside sipping wine and enjoying the amazing weather and beautiful views! Truly a wonderful experience!

Booking our wedding venue at the Vineyards at Chappel Lodge was the best decision we could’ve made! From the first time we drove into the property, we were absolutely amazed at the beauty of the venue. The staff and our day of coordinator, Catherine, were always so helpful and quick to reply. Planning a wedding during the pandemic was beyond stressful, but to top it off our wedding landed the weekend the winter storm hit Texas! The week leading up to the event, Catherine was in constant contact with us, running all of the possible options we had through every scenario. The night of our wedding, it was below freezing, wet, and unlike anything we could’ve expected. Nonetheless, our night went incredibly well and without a hitch! Our guests were warm and sheltered from the elements, but it still very much felt like an outdoor wedding. Catherine and her team were organized, diligent and there for anything we threw at them. VCL is amazing and I highly recommend booking there and also hiring Catherine!

My husband and I had our wedding at Chappel Lodge and could NOT be happier about our venue choice! The venue is beautiful and very convenient location (20min from downtown). The space is very flexible and could be used for different sized weddings.We hired Catherine as our day of coordinator and she was amazing, she made sure everything ran smoothly even with some last minute changes! We had unexpected weather and Chappel Lodge worked through the changes seamlessly and I was stress free.I could not recommend this venue and Catherine enough!

Nothing short of Perfection! - Seriously! I cannot brag enough about the venue and their staff. This whole pandemic has changed the normal course of our lives and many dont take the time to think of others when dealing with the individual stresses it has caused. I will say Krista puts her clients first and it reflects with her team as well. We planned being very flexible with our wedding knowing how this year has been. We were absolutely blown away with the level of service and gratitude we received at Chappel Lodge. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous, well maintained and offered the perfect setting for photography. I could go on and on, but bottom line, this place is beautiful and their customer service is second to none. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge. Do yourself a favor and make this your last stop so you can see how much better they are than the rest. Thanks again to Krista and her team!!!

Chappel Lodge is the epitome of serenity. Our rooms were spacious, immaculate, comfortable and well-stocked. The staff was attentive to our needs—and our pets! So thankful for their pet-friendly atmosphere. As beautiful as the accommodations are, the grounds (50acres!) were ethereal—so beautiful and well-kept; an overall soothing and pampering vibe. The owners have clearly put their heart into the upkeep and atmosphere. There’s an abundance of mature live oak trees, walking trails and manicured lawns; we never ran out of places to explore or relax. There were even outdoor games and activities set up if we felt like playing. It was hard to believe we were just minutes from the city! Ideal retreat from the madness. Our only disappointment was not being able to stay longer. Will definitely return.

My fiance and I toured Chappel Lodge when we got engaged among several other popular venues in downtown Austin and around the city. Chappel Lodge was the only venue we were both really excited about. The outdoor space for the ceremony is beautiful and spacious, the building is open air with different rooms. We liked that guests could visit different spaces in the building to get a drink, enjoy a moment to themselves, etc. We also loved the style of the building. We werent looking for a country western style place that some of the hill country venues have or a place that felt like any other wedding venue. Catherine from Chappel Lodge was attentive, responsive and very easy to work with. I was also one of the first COVID brides (3/21/20) and Chappel Lodge was kind, understanding and sympathetic even though I was one of many brides affected.

One of the most stressful times in ones life is planning your own wedding! I had a vision for my special day, and feared that I couldnt achieve it honestly. From the very first interaction I had with Krista, I had confidence that she was the perfect individual to help me create my dream wedding; but questioned whether Vineyards at Chappel Lodge would be the perfect venue..She was authentic, so very kind, responsive, and patient.A few weeks later, we spent the weekend looking at venues in the hill country and once we arrived at the gates of VCL property, I fell in love! There were so many indoor and outdoor spaces that we could connect and provide the ultimate guest experience. We loved the idea of hosting the bride maids in the house on the property, and then having our families and out-of-town guests at the home for breakfast the following day. It is absolutely stunning!Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is a unique and one of a kind venue! Your guests will be in awe of its beauty!

Be careful when booking. God forbid youre in the middle of a pandemic and your mom gets diagnosed with cancer and you try to cancel months in advance, Krista will pretend to do everything she can and then drag it out until the last possible minute and never give any of your money back. We lost 5k, and didn’t get a single penny of the money we paid for the venue and never even so much as saw the venue. We had no events there and were told that it would get worked out when we told her that my mom had cancer and we wouldnt be going through with the wedding.. also we were in the middle of a global pandemic where things were still closed and no one was traveling. She completely went off the grid when we tried to contact her about getting any of our money back, even though we had told her 4 months in advance that we couldnt go through with the wedding.

I cannot give this venue a high enough recommendation. Not only is the venue itself BEAUTIFUL with SO MANY things for guests to do (including a magical reception tent, ceremony space, grass area, and vineyards not to mention the incredible surrounding brush, oak trees, and pond that are to die for in pictures), but also the owners and coordinator are absolutely incredible to work with. They are beyond easy to work with- they WILL make your event everything and more you had hoped for! I had to plan my wedding with a million changes in the middle of a pandemic and they answered every phone call and provided every piece of help and advice I could ever ask for at any point leading up to my wedding. Our guests were obsessed with everything about the venue and I would have my wedding (and any other event) here every time!!!! Krista and Catherine, thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge and our coordinator, Catherine Haffner! The venue was breathtaking - from the beautiful vineyard, to the large oak trees, and the stunning field. There was no shortage of amazing photographs from our special day. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. Catherine and the staff at VCL worked tirelessly to make sure that I still had the wedding of my dreams, even during COVID-19. Catherine handled every detail of my wedding perfectly and never let me know of any issues that occurred behind the scenes. Saying I Do under the huge oak trees was so amazing. The reception area is covered but not enclosed, so we could still enjoy the beautiful scenery at VCL. This venue had everything we wanted and more! It was the perfect venue for a wedding during COVID. We were able to invite all of our guests and space them apart, everyone felt comfortable since the ceremony and reception were held outside. All of our guests had an incredible time and still talk about our wedding and ask about the venue! I wish we could get married here over and over again!

There are a million ways I love this property. I had the honor of running VCL for almost 3 years and it was for the sure the best job I will ever have. The grounds are something out of a fairytale (a testament to how hard that staff works - 53 acres is not easy to maintain!) and the venue itself is SO unique, and there are 100 different ways you can use the spaces.Pictures and words will never do the place justice. Do yourself a favor and go see this space (but please call or email first)! If you are looking for the most enchanting, romantic venue for your wedding with a team known for their flexibility and accommodations - youve found the place.

My wife and I havent had a wedding here yet. Because of COVID we have now rescheduled twice, but we wanted to write this review as a thank you for the way we have been treated throughout this process. My experience with weddings and COVID in 2020 is that it is not going to be fair. Its not fair for couples and its not fair for companies in the industry. The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge, specifically our day of coordinator Catherine (she is great and knows the venue very well so I recommend using her) and the owner Krista, have done everything they can for us every step of the way in this last almost year and a half relationship with us and our event. The service and planning leading up to our first wedding attempt in March 2020 was extremely helpful and professional. Even though times have been so hard on this industry with COVID, they have since March 2020 been very generous and have worked hard to find something that makes sense for us. We are excited to finally celebrate our marriage with this venue! Although I cannot attest to the day of event service, its a beautiful venue run by people that I believe will try to do their best for their customers.

My husband is Australian and we searched all over South Austin and Dripping Springs for a venue that we could rent for a few days to host a wedding and provide accommodation for visiting family and friends. We found everything we were looking for and more at Vineyards at Chappel Lodge (VCL). The grounds are absolutely stunning and the accommodation is very comfortable and tasteful. My favorite thing about VCL is how it is elegant yet relaxed which was exactly the vibe we were searching for.The level of professionalism and responsiveness from the venue has also blown me away. My wedding coordinator Catherine has always responded to any texts, emails, calls within a day and has always addressed any possible questions or concerns that I had. She has helped me keep within budget and not be distracted by little things that were adding to my stress levels. She is very much a wedding pro and has great advice for what does and doesnt work!I cant recommend VCL highly enough and would suggest booking a tour if you are looking for venues!

My husband and I just had our wedding at VCL this February 2020 and it turned out to be even better than we expected! Catherine was always available to answer questions and was extremely accommodating all the way to the very last minute. Also, the facilities and grounds were maintained perfectly. We ended up having around 140 guests but there was plenty of additional space for a larger wedding if necessary. Thanks to all the staff at VCL for helping us create a day well always remember!

This location is beautiful.

Review №43

Checked this venue out as I prepare for a wedding. Venue itself is nice, many different options for ceremony sites and the reception hall is nice. The housing/apartments that are available for rent are right at the ceremony location so if the wedding party doesnt rent them, you could have some very interesting public viewing of your wedding. Ultimately turned down this location due to the need to buy all wine from the vineyard and frankly speaking the wine price and quality was not up to par. If they had waived that requirement we would have booked.

Romantic, vineyard style, gold accents – We wanted an outdoor wedding and reception but did NOT want a rustic wedding. Being Michiganders, we love Texas Live Oak trees and wanted to have them at our venue. No venues in Houston had the look and feel we were going for so we ventured to Austin. The venue must reflect a romantic feel as well as having large Oak trees (in hopes of hanging large chandeliers). Our requirements were met when we visited the lovely Vineyard at Chappel Lodge. The venue had the amazing Oaks we were looking for, breathtaking outdoor ceremony, reception and cocktail areas, beautiful rainy-day backup plan for both reception and ceremony, and on site lodging for our out-of-state guests, which made up the majority of our wedding party.

I can’t say enough good things about this venue. As soon as you drive onto the property the grounds are beautifully maintained and it’s just so peaceful. The ceremony site under the trees is gorgeous. The venue itself with all the features and attention to detail is perfect. We loved the venue so much and Jaycie is phenomenal. She was so helpful, we hadn’t even decided to book the place yet and she was giving us so much good advice and tips for planning and looking at other places. She definitely went above and beyond. They were flexible with our budget and was willing to do whatever it took to make us happy. We cannot wait to have our wedding here and to work with Jaycie.

I absolutely love this venue... but to top it off Jaycie is above and beyond anything we could ever ask for. She has been by far the best representative of any venue we have looked at. She responds quickly, very educated about weddings and an absolute doll!! She was the icing on the cake and absolutely sold the place for us. Chappel Hill got a home run when they hired her. I would recommend this place and jaycie to anyone interested in a wedding venue. It was a pleasure chatting with her and the main reason we booked is because we adore her so much!

We had our wedding at VCL on June 15th this year (2019). We absolutely loved it! We stayed there the night before & after (definitely a good way to go). We had the ceremony outdoors in the morning & then our reception inside & on the covered patio during the day. Jaycie was so helpful getting our first visit and my bridal portrait session scheduled, and Catherine absolutely made the day happen as our coordinator! The venue was beautiful and everything ran smoothly on our wedding day thanks to Catherine & the staff with the exception of the outdoor A/C! I would definitely recommend VCL if you are looking for an event or wedding venue, and you 100% want Catherine as your coordinator. I didnt have to do anything on my wedding day thanks to her.

This was the worst experience of a lifetime. We paid $200 for a small room with no A/C. We had to move all of the wedding parties stuff out of our rooms because the Management here seems to be more concerned about taking your money instead a taking care of their guests. Save your money and book a room at the Holiday Inn 4 miles away.

Review №59

Unimpressive at best. I was recently an attendee at a wedding here and wasnt thrilled at the least with this place. The ceremony got rained out last minute, but there was no real back up plan for rain other than well just move it inside. Luckily, there was a tent so the reception was not ruined, but this place should have a better foul weather backup plan confirmed with the bride at least 2 months before the wedding. The bride and groom suites were nice, but Id never pay the kind of money this venue was asking for a 2 star room. Additionally, the bride suite had a ton of windows (even in the bathroom) which would have been nice if people were not everywhere as even with the blinds closed, it felt like wandering eyes might be able to see something. The kitchen area was nice and the back parking lot was great for service providers. Parking was absolutely atrocious. As part of the immediate family, it was annoying that the property supervisor asked us to move our car to park down at the far lot across the pond area when to our displeasure, cars were allowed to park right in front of the venue anyway (we found this out as we were leaving). Not very pleased with the supervisor lady either. She was rude and wore clothing that looked like it should be on a 15 yr old out to a movie rather than an older woman at a formal event. She also did not confirm table placement with the bride beforehand as the tables had still yet to be set up when we got there and the groom helped direct where they should go and the groomsmen set the tables and chairs up, NOT THE VENUE PEOPLE AS ADVERTISED!!!!. I think the worst part about this venue was the train horn and thundering as the trains went by. No, it wasnt just once or twice but about 4-5 times that we heard this and I would have been so crushed as a bride to have my wedding ceremony or first dance interrupted by a nearby train horn (VERY LOUD!). We heard it again and again throughout the reception and were so disappointed as guests to have to put up with this obnoxious interruption. I honestly dont know how this place stays in business as a wedding venue other than the fact the outside is very picturesque. Could be nice for a smaller wedding of maybe 25-50 people but was very disappointing overall.

This place is GORGEOUS!!! We decided to rent the lodge for our wedding party to stay for the weekend and it was sooo beautiful and unique in every room! The venue manager Jaycie has the most infectious personality and makes you feel so comfortable and like she’s 100% on your team to help you have the perfect day! We hired the venues coordinator Catherine Haffner as well and it will literally make me start crying how much this lady made my day so effortless, stress-free, and the day of my dreams!!! Exceptionally professional, always on time, always available for all my many many questions or requests! They truly want the couple to have the day of their dreams! Can not recommend them enough!

The venue at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge (VCL) is both lovely and amazing; one of the most beautiful settings we could imagine. On our first visit, we were sold. The wedding for our daughter and her fiancé hosted by VCL was perfect in every way. The wedding was held in the Spring with bluebonnets in full bloom; just imagine the beautiful photos that were taken. The site of the wedding ceremony under the big oak trees seemed to envelop the couple as they said their vows; what a beautiful memory. During the planning process, everything went smoothly. Jaycie Kreitzer, the venue’s Director of Sales and Operations, was energetic, friendly and paid attention to every detail of the wedding of our daughter’s dreams. She was very accommodating to all of our requests, including visiting the venue several times when we needed additional information for décor and the flow of the event. Jaycie was a delight to work with. We highly recommend this venue not only for weddings but for other events, as well.
