Sanctuary Event Space - Austin, Texas

Caroline Holifield

My husband and I hosted our wedding with the Sanctuary in November 2022. It was the first venue we visited and we instantly knew it would be the perfect one (we visited a few more but none of them came close). The size was absolutely perfect for our ~50 guests - had it been a warmer weekend, many more guests would have fit very comfortably (capacity is 150 I believe, and the outdoor space definitely would do fine for that), but we mostly hung in the dance area and near the heaters! Niru and the entire team was always so quick to respond and just so easy to work with. Our beloved pup was welcome at the event as well! Despite being very glad all the stress that is a wedding is over, we would both do it over again without question.

This location is fabulous, especially for outdoor events. But plenty of interior space as well. The tree offer the perfect amount of shade. The grounds are wonderfully maintained.

What a great location for small events! Outdoor space was heavily shaded and tiered, allowing for good viewing for all for events taking place on the small stage area at the bottom. Looks like it could handle 75 people comfortably. Only drawback was the limited parking.

The sanctuary event space was the perfect choice for our wedding. The beautiful setting is perfect for a small to mid-size wedding. We received tons of compliments on the venue choice!

Absolutely the worst place to have your event. The owner is rude and will not do half of what she tells you she will. Tables were not set up, we had to set them up. Ive over the arch was completely dead and bride was not told until a few days before wedding so we as coordinators had to come up with a quick fix. Their employ came and checked us out after and made sure we were only using one trash can because that is all you are allowed to use then charged us 200 because the lid on the one trash can would not close. We were charged 200 for fallowing instructions to the letter. Their employee checked us out and said everything was good only for the horrible owner to charge us anyway. All of the equipment chairs, table were badly stained to the point that it showed through the linens. No one showed up when we arrived for the rehearsal, we had to call and get a code just to let clients use the restroom. BRIDES please avoid this location as your wedding will not go as planned.

To the owners response. Im well aware you have talked to the bride, she expressed her frustration with the way you do business and hidden fees and the fact that you will charge for things outside the contract like leaving a trash can open.

As a coordinator I am posting this so that all other brides, grooms, and coordinators will be aware of the way you do business so that maybe they can avoid their special day being ruined by you.

This venue was the perfect location for our intimate wedding in November 2022 of about 30 people (including vendors). All of the ladies that helped with our tour, all of the great communication, and everyone that answered all of our questions promptly, we cannot say enough great things about. It was a seamless process and Niru contacted us anytime we had a due date approaching for paperwork, etc., which helped us tremendously with our very busy schedules. Niru provided us with a user friendly check list for cleanup on the day of the wedding, which was very helpful! I absolutely suggest this very enchanting venue as it is so beautiful and the staff was incredible! Thank you all for providing us with the perfect venue for our perfect day.

Sanctuary Event Space was the perfect place for our intimate wedding! The grounds are kept so nice, the oak trees are amazing and the greenery is breathtaking! Every thing went smoothly and it was really easy to plan and coordinate an event here. This place exceeded my expectations!
