The Garden

An Outdoor Wedding Venue in Austin With Its Own Flower Farm

The Grand Lady is an indoor and outdoor wedding venue on 20 acres of oak trees in Manor, about 25 minutes east of downtown Austin. Out back is our half-acre flower farm: 48 flower beds and a 60-foot pergola, where we grow flowers just for our couples. We planted it because the property deserved it.

Four ceremony spots, outdoors and under a roof

Pick from four places to say "I do":

  • The ceremony lawn in the oak grove
  • The flower garden, under the pergola (small extra fee)
  • The covered brick breezeway, with a retractable roof
  • The reception hall, climate-controlled with floor-to-ceiling windows

Cocktail hour spills into the courtyards. If the forecast changes, your ceremony moves under a roof. Planning a garden wedding? Read our guide to garden wedding venues in Austin.

Flowers grown just for you

This is the part we love most: we grow flowers just for our couples. Spring flowers go into the ground in November, and the week of your wedding we cut them fresh for you. Our in-house floral studio works like any full-service florist and brings in the best blooms from top growers, then adds what no other studio can: flowers grown just for you in our own garden. That's why the arrangements come out fuller and more personal than flowers that were all shipped in. Book your flowers with us and take $500 off your venue rental.
