The Addison Grove FAQs
WHAT MAKES ADDISON GROVE DIFFERENT?
The Addison Grove Experience is rooted in the belief that every couple deserves to feel supported, celebrated, and genuinely cared for from the very beginning. From your first conversation with our sales team, you’ll notice the difference—we’re transparent about pricing, thoughtful in our guidance, and here to make planning feel clear and enjoyable.
Once you’ve booked, you’ll be introduced to your dedicated Client Coordinator, your go-to throughout the planning process. From vendor recommendations and floor plan guidance to bar selections and thoughtful enhancements, they’re there to ensure every detail feels intentional and uniquely yours.
On your wedding day, our team brings everything together with care and precision. A dedicated Grounds Manager keeps the property pristine, while your Venue Manager and Assistant work behind the scenes to support set-up and create a welcoming experience for you and your guests—so you can stay fully present in every moment.
From your first tour to your final send-off, we’re honored to deliver an elevated, seamless experience and help you create a celebration that feels both personal and timeless.
AM I REQUIRED TO HAVE A WEDDING PLANNER?
Yes. All clients are required to have at least a month-of wedding planner. Your planner can be chosen from our recommended list or approved by your client coordinator before booking.
CAN I BRING MY OWN ALCOHOL?
Due to Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission regulations, all alcohol served at The Addison Grove must be provided through our in-house beverage service program. This ensures a safe, seamless, and fully compliant experience for you and your guests.
Our in-house bar offerings are designed to be flexible and elevated, with a variety of package options and thoughtful enhancements to fit your vision.
Your Client Coordinator will guide you through the selections to create a bar experience that feels perfectly tailored to your celebration.
WHAT IN-HOUSE SERVICES DOES THE ADDISON GROVE OFFER?
We offer a full suite of in-house services to make your wedding day seamless: event planning, floral design through our sister company Native Bloom, bar service, and a curated collection of rentals and design enhancements to bring your vision to life.
HOW FAR IS THE ADDISON GROVE FROM AUSTIN AND WHAT ARE THE NEARBY ACCOMMODATIONS?
The Addison Grove is about 20 minutes from downtown Austin. Take US Hwy-290 West toward Dripping Springs, then turn right on Fitzhugh Road. The entrance is two miles down on the left, across from Kinser Ranch. For weekday ceremonies, allow a little extra time for potential rush hour traffic. Nearby accommodations and places to stay can be found here.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF GUESTS THAT THE ADDISON GROVE CAN COMFORTABLY ACCOMMODATE ?
The Addison Grove can comfortably accommodate up to 300 seated guests in the barn for a reception. Depending on your event layout and style, larger guest counts may also be possible.
DO WE ALLOW REHEARSALS?
Yes! Every client receives one complimentary hour for a rehearsal. Timing depends on the venue’s event schedule. If another wedding is booked the day before yours, we’ll work with you to schedule either earlier in the week or before venue access on the day prior.
CAN I HIRE MY OWN VENDORS?
Absolutely! You're welcome to bring in the vendors who feel right for your celebration. We just ask that all vendors be approved in advance, and catering is selected from our list of 11 exclusive catering partners, a curated group we trust to deliver an exceptional experience for you and your guests.
WHAT ARE THE PARKING ACCOMMODATIONS AND CAN GUESTS LEAVE THEIR CARS OVERNIGHT?
The Addison Grove offers plenty of onsite parking for you and your guests. For added ease, we recommend carpooling or rideshares like Uber or Lyft if transportation isn’t provided for your event.
Guests may leave vehicles overnight for a safe ride home, but we ask that cars be picked up before any events the following day.
ARE THERE ANY NOISE OR DECOR RESTRICTIONS?
We love seeing each couple's creativity come to life and how you make the space your own! Because The Addison Grove sits outside city limits in Travis County, there are no venue-imposed noise restrictions or hard curfews, giving you the flexibility to celebrate the way you've always envisioned.
To keep the venue looking beautiful for everyone, we ask that all personal decor is removed at the end of the night, including flowers, centerpieces, arches, and any banister or chandelier decorations.
Dyed flower petals are not permitted due to potential staining. For safety and consistency, any greenery or decor installed on the chandeliers is handled exclusively by Native Bloom Floral & Design.
Clients are responsible for any damage or loss caused by their guests or vendors.
WHAT ARE ADDISON GROVE’S VENUE HOURS AND CUTOFF TIMES?
Your standard venue rental includes 14 hours of access, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM, plenty of time for setup, celebration, and wrap-up. Events typically conclude by 11:00 PM, leaving time afterward for vendors to break down and gather personal items.
Need a little more time? Early access and late-night extensions can be arranged in advance. Your coordinator will build a seamless timeline that accounts for everything from first look to final load-out, and our team is always happy to accommodate special requests.
ARE LINENS OR GLASSWARE PROVIDED?
No, but we can help point you in the right direction. Linens and glassware are typically provided through your caterer or one of our preferred rental companies we regularly work with, and we're happy to make introductions.
DO YOU ALLOW DOGS ON PROPERTY?
Yes, we love when couples include their furry friends! Dogs are welcome onsite during photos and the ceremony, as long as they are leashed and well-behaved.
We also ask that you have a designated handler, someone other than wedding party members or parents, who can focus on your pup’s care throughout their visit.
DO YOU HAVE AN INDOOR CEREMONY LOCATION? WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER?
In the event of inclement weather, we’re fully prepared to seamlessly transition your ceremony indoors. Our team will handle all of the adjustments behind the scenes, working alongside your planner and vendor team to ensure everything flows effortlessly so you and your guests can simply enjoy the day.
You’ll have the flexibility to make a final call on your weather plan up until your catering team arrives on the morning of your wedding, giving you peace of mind while keeping your celebration beautiful, rain or shine.
