Springdale Station

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Springdale Station. In looking at different venues to host my wedding, we were looking for a beautiful place with a nice vibe that had an outdoor space for the ceremony but plenty of inside space as well. Springdale Station was our pick and I couldn't be happier we chose it. The greenery outside is truly lovely and it pictured so beautifully in our photos. My wedding had a little over 80 people and there was so much space for our guests to spread out to mingle, dance, eat, drink, etc. The bar is beautiful, and so is the rest of the venue. Renting the space came with quite a large inventory of tables and chairs, which was a huge plus for us. Hannah, the venue manager, is so nice and tolerated my many many questions throughout the entire process with so much grace. You do have to go through them for alcohol since they have a liquor license, but honestly that made things easier for us. The bartenders (supplied by the venue) at our wedding did a great job as well! They have SO much parking for events that are booked with them, which was amazing to have secured for our guests. The bride and groom suites they have off to the side are amazing. They were a relatively new construction after we booked but we couldn't have been happier with spaces. Truly a fantastic place to host a wedding!

Springdale Station was a great venue for our big day. We wanted to get married in East Austin, so the location was perfect, and the space, both inside and out, is stunning. The variety of options available for the ceremony, dinner, cocktail hour, reception, etc., allowed for plenty of creativity when planning the big day. However, we ran into a few snags along the way. The original bride and groom suites at the venue were an airstream and a small casita, which we didn’t have an issue with. My now-wife and MIL were passing by to take a look at the venue and noticed an active construction site where both of these structures had once been. This project of building new suites between when we booked the venue and our event date was never communicated to us, or even that the project was being thought about or in the works. The large new building completely changed the location where we wanted our ceremony to occur, which we had communicated from the very beginning of the planning process.. We had to then come up with a new plan for this in late January, when our wedding was in mid-April. Then due to this construction project, the venue experienced flooding issues in the courtyard where we intended to do our ceremony (yes, the new location, even in our rain plan). This caused an immense amount of stress as it had rained plenty the week of our wedding. We also learned that the flooding had been an issue with events prior, but was never communicated. These issues caused ample confusion between the venue, our coordinator, and our caterer on where they would be prepping and serving food, which required near-constant communication and decision making in the days leading up to our wedding, which should not have been the case. It was truly a game-time decision up until the day before to determine if our wedding would go as planned, or would have to be completely restructured in a way we were not pleased with. That said, we got lucky with the weather, and things fell into place at the last minute, which allowed the day to be very special and lived up to what we wanted, thanks to all of our vendors working together to make it happen. All things considered, the venue is beautiful. The new suites are great, but we gladly would have stuck with the airstream and casita to forego the unnecessary stress caused by the project and lack of communication from the venue. If the kinks can be / are worked out, then it’s a wonderful place to get married in the heart of Austin.

As an event planner, I could not recommend Springdale Station more! I have attended weddings here as a vendor and a guest and my experiences were amazing every time. From the outdoor garden to the beautiful indoor spaces, it really is such a gem!
