Where to Stay
There will be a very popular music festival, Austin City Limits (ACL), taking place in downtown Austin on the same weekend as our wedding, so if you want to join us, please make your reservations now!
There are not many fancy hotel options in Dripping Springs. Unfortunately, Camp Lucy is fully booked for our weekend, however, we have a block of rooms for our guests at Courtyard by Marriott (10 minutes away), or you can go the AirBnB route! There are currently some great AirBnB options.
If you want to stay downtown in Austin, we do have courtesy pricing for rooms at the Fairmont Hotel. Those rooms are not blocked off and will go up in price the closer we get to the wedding weekend. The Austin downtown area is near Austin City Limits, which takes place in Zilker Park, and will be much more congested than outside of the city.
