With its artsy vibe, unique wedding venues and never-ending options for a night on the town, Austin is one of the most eclectic and electric cities in Texas to get married in.
Even though it was recently named one of the best places to live in the USA, it’s also increasing in popularity as a destination wedding location (and it’s easy to see why). There is so much to see and do which helps to provide a variety of activities that are easy to plan for out of town wedding guests.
Who said that a destination wedding needs to be beachside in the Caribbean? Have your wedding guests join you at the ‘Live Music Capital of the World!’
While the prices for weddings vary based on specific location or the size of your guest list, the average wedding in Texas costs $24,520 or $180 per guest (according to ValuePenguin). Creative services, like photo and video, are often a significant line item in wedding planning expenses.

Andrés originates from Venezuela and loves all that the Texas capital has to offer. Andrés has been filming for over two years and loves that film can tell a story to a wide range of audiences regardless of where they come from. He hopes to one day travel the world and cover international weddings and celebrations.
