CELEBRATIONS 

M

emory Lane Event Center is a beautiful venue that has been in operation since 2007. As I toured Memory Lane, I was impressed with the additional features that have been added in the past few years. The indoor pavilion, “elegantly rustic,” is surrounded by inviting patios for large gatherings. The venue is owned and operated by family members Janet and Mike Morgan and daughter Thalia, and their experienced staff offer flawless service and knowledge. Memory Lane’s wedding package includes lodging, complete with a pool, for 15 family members or friends. The bride’s area is exceptionally large, and the outdoor settings are picture perfect for a Texas wedding.

In recent months, a second venue, La Hacienda, has been added to accommodate more weddings and events.

When I walked into Pecan Springs Ranch, which

lies on Slaughter Creek, I felt like I was still outdoors, with the vast array of windows looking out to the lovely grounds that surround the property. Spread among native pecan and oak trees, this venue has a true backyard feel to it, with guests free to roam while celebrating. Pecan Springs has multiple venues for entertainment, from the enclosed ballroom and the rustic outdoor pavilion to an original outdoor fireplace dating from the late 1800s.

Owners Judy and Dub Smith have created an amazing venue that is truly welcoming.

Joe and Stacey Hogge, owners of Vista West Ranch, are

seasoned, passionate wedding gurus providing a venue that is always in high demand. Vista West is in a quiet, secluded area of Dripping Springs affording a memorably grand view of the Texas Hill Country. The venue is complete with a number of areas for celebrating and includes a lovely water feature, a beer garden, and a bride’s area that is uniquely hidden. On-site lodging is also offered for a group as large as 26. With a honeymoon cottage as well, the bride and groom can dance the night away before retiring as husband and wife.
