If you’re planning a micro wedding or intimate elopement, the Texas Hill Country is about as dreamy as it gets.

Rolling hills, ancient oaks, secret gardens, and wildflower fields — it’s the perfect backdrop for a day that’s beautiful without even trying.

As a wedding planner based right here between Dripping Springs and Wimberley, I’ve had the chance to explore some of the most magical little venues — places where small weddings shine their brightest.

Here’s a list of my favorite small wedding venues near Dripping Springs and Wimberley where you can host the celebration of your dreams. 🌸

1. The Wildflower Barn — Driftwood, TX

If you’re looking for rustic, laid-back charm, The Wildflower Barn is it.

With open fields, a cozy barn, and endless Hill Country skies, it’s perfect for a casual, joyful wedding surrounded by nature.

Venue Highlight: Outdoor ceremony sites that look gorgeous in wildflower season — think dreamy bluebonnet backdrops!

2. Chapel Dulcinea — Austin, TX (Just a short drive!)

This open-air chapel perched on a cliffside offers a free(!) ceremony location with unbeatable views.

It’s incredibly intimate — perfect for elopements and small groups.

Venue Highlight: Those sweeping Hill Country views and a romantic stone chapel that needs almost no decorating.

3. Cypress Falls Event Center — Wimberley, TX

Tucked right by Cypress Creek, this charming venue feels like a secret garden.

It’s surrounded by limestone cliffs, native trees, and the sound of running water — pure Hill Country magic.

Venue Highlight: Beautiful shady ceremony spots + indoor backup in case of rain.

4. Montesino Ranch — Wimberley, TX

This working ranch doubles as a stunning small wedding venue, with panoramic Hill Country views and tons of open space.

If you want a down-to-earth, wildflower-meadow vibe without feeling “stuffy,” Montesino is a dream.

Venue Highlight: Authentic ranch feel, sweeping sunsets, and endless photography spots.

5. The Addison Grove — Dripping Springs, TX

If you’re looking for a touch of elegance mixed with rustic beauty, Addison Grove is a favorite.

The property features a gorgeous modern barn, old-growth oak trees, and dreamy ceremony spaces.

Venue Highlight: Perfect for a slightly bigger micro wedding (up to 150 guests), but feels intimate thanks to the layout.

6. The Cedars Ranch — Wimberley, TX

A modern, sustainable event space surrounded by oaks and wildflower meadows.

It’s ideal for eco-conscious couples who still want a high-end feel without losing the natural magic of the Hill Country.

Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Small Wedding Venue
