A serene, artful space for couples who want elegance without excess
Laguna Gloria offers something rare—a historic estate that feels like it was designed for connection, beauty, and slow celebration. Just minutes from downtown Austin, this venue is a dream for couples who want an intentional, artful wedding surrounded by Mediterranean-inspired architecture and lakeside gardens. If you’re considering tying the knot at Laguna Gloria, here are five things to know that might make it your forever favorite.
With its terracotta walls, sculptural gardens, and quiet lake views, Laguna Gloria feels more like Italy than Texas. The moment you arrive, you’re met with a sense of calm and possibility. It’s the kind of place where your guests can take a deep breath and settle into the moment—something that’s hard to find in the middle of a city.
While the grounds are expansive, Laguna Gloria shines in smaller guest counts. Whether you’re planning a ceremony for 50 or an al fresco dinner for 100, every space feels personal, thoughtful, and grounded in nature. The venue invites connection without crowding.
From soft morning glow along the water to golden hour portraits beneath the trees, this venue offers some of the best natural light in Austin. As a photographer, I love the layers of texture and light Laguna Gloria provides—it’s editorial without being staged, and timeless without being stiff.
While the setting itself is stunning, the space is also a blank canvas for creative design. Whether you’re leaning into garden party elegance or chic minimalism, Laguna Gloria works with you—not against you. Florals pop. Tablescapes shine. And every little detail feels elevated.
Laguna Gloria has a way of slowing time. Whether it’s walking down the stone steps to your ceremony or dancing under the stars by the water, every part of the day feels present and full. It’s a place that holds space for what matters: your people, your love, and your story.
If you’re planning a wedding that blends timeless beauty with meaningful moments, Laguna Gloria might just be the place. I’d love to help you document it all—from your morning coffee to the last champagne toast.
