Austin's wedding season takes place twice a year: spring and fall. The city is a good-looking place for marriage celebrations. There are Hill Country backdrops, city lights, and plenty of barbecue. Whether you’re planning a wedding or reception, Eater gathered the best restaurants and bars for weddings and receptions.

From buy-outs to private dining rooms to alfresco spaces, there’s a place for every taste, need, and budget. There is the ever-elegant grounds and Victorian buildings of Green Pastures (which happens to include Southern-leaning restaurant Mattie’s for all food needs), rustic Texas ambience at Jester King Brewery, theater ceremonies with movies at Alamo Drafthouse, and more. This update includes Banger’s, Eleanor, and Vista Brewing.

Round out the wedding planning with restaurants that offer great catering services, best wedding cake bakeries, Curbed Austin’s picks for wedding venues, and private dining rooms.

Is there a major wedding venue restaurant missing below? Let Eater know through the tipline or within the comments.
