We originally fell in love with Villa Antonia because of its beautiful architecture and landscape: the romantic, castle-like buildings; the rolling hillside; the numerous different areas to discover and photograph (butterfly garden, waterfall, chapel, tower); and the flexibility of having both a beautiful outdoor and/or indoor wedding. However, when we started working with the staff at Villa Antonia, we realized we were getting so much more than just the beautiful space. First, they already had all the tables/chairs we needed for our wedding, so we did not need to invest in outside rentals. Second, their staff are knowledgeable and experienced in planning and hosting weddings specifically at Villa Antonia, which means they know what ideas will work and what will need to be done day-of to help things run smoothly.

This venue should be at the top of every couple’s interest list, especially same-sex couples! I have nothing but praise for the venue and the staff at Villa Antonia. If the absolutely breathtaking views weren’t reason enough to get married here, the coordinators and support staff really do go all out to give you the best experience possible on your special day. My husband and I are a same-sex couple and were both initially drawn in by the diversity showcased on their website. However, the support and respect we felt throughout the entire planning process, as well as the day of the wedding, made everything perfect. Read More –Drew & Victor S.
Quick Summary: Villa Antonia was one of the most incredible wedding venues I’ve been to and all their staff were top notch professionals! 100/10 would recommend! I’m writing this review coming from a unique perspective; I was a groomsman in a wedding on 12/20/21 but also the wedding planner for the couple so I was pulling double duty. I’ve been in this industry for what feels like forever and can say everyone at the Villa Antonia made this day as smooth and special as I wanted it to be for my friends. Read More -Kyle W.

Villa Antonia is a dream come true! I knew the first time my husband and I visited, it was the only place I wanted to get married. There are many spaces throughout the venue to accommodate indoor and outdoor events and the venue makes it feel as if you are in a completely different country. The staff is absolutely amazing and treated not only us (bride and groom), but our guests like family! Chris Spady is such a joy to work with and it was like having a wedding planner. She was on top of every single detail of our wedding and it truly showed, because our day ran so smoothly! Maria is one of the sweetest people we have ever met and was a huge help on the day of our wedding. She took care of my entire family and we are so thankful for all she did. Chris and Maria worked so hard and made sure no one had to worry about a thing except to enjoy the day. Our day was perfect and we cannot thank the Villa Antonia team enough for making our day everything we wanted and more!

Second, their staff are knowledgeable and experienced in planning and hosting weddings specifically at Villa Antonia, which means they know what ideas will work and what will need to be done day-of to help things run smoothly. There were three Villa Antonia staff during our wedding – Emily, our day-of coordinator; Maria, who helped with moving things and dress-bustling; and Jim, the security/parking attendant. All of them had years of experience servicing Villa Antonia and, due to their help, we were able to sail through our wedding and actually enjoy ourselves rather than worrying about what needed to be done next or focus on any fires that needed to be put out. Emily took care of communication with all our vendors, both day-of and leading up to for day-of coordination, and Maria expertly helped with set-up and break-down of items (including dress-bustling!) that we barely noticed! We appreciated their help and presence every minute, and we realized the service we received couldn’t have been bought! The venue is well worth the money – you get a gorgeous, multifaceted space that comes with its own furniture and an exceptional staff that makes sure your wedding is everything you want it to be.

I proposed to my fiancée at Villa Antonia on September 2nd, and we were astonished with how beautiful this venue looks. Amy (Director of sales and marketing) did a phenomenal job on our special day, she provided top notch customer service and was willing to help any way possible during the entire process. A special thank you to the entire team at Villa Antonia for the great experience and amazing atmosphere.Without doubt we have plans of doing our wedding there too. It’s too beautiful, authentic, and just perfect with its jaw dropping scenery. I highly recommend for anyone to at least check this place out, it’s worth your time!

Securing the Villa Antonia is like having cheat codes to having the best wedding possible. I don't think there is a nicer wedding venue this side of being a celebrity or millionaire. And even if you were, you would still want to book this place. Although your mind makes you want to think it's hard to get to, nobody had trouble finding the place, and once there, the setting around the venue, and every detail of the venue itself provided an absurdly enchanting experience. The staff that they had helping us out, mainly Chris Spady, was a superstar standout. I'm so glad we stuck with this venue. It was a hit. The pictures are fabulous. And my memories of my night there will be cherished for as long as I am around.

The best wedding venue you'll find in the Austin area. Looks way more expensive than typical venues, but it isn't! Also comes with top of the line staff - lead by the one and only, Ms. Chris - to help make your wedding day run smoothly. Guests said it was the best wedding venue they had ever been to. No regrets whatsoever.

Lovely venue, worth the trip. Transports to Italy said my friend. To me, it has an authentic rustic feeling you don't find nearby my location. The parking attendants were Not nice, not helpful. I was in red dress high heels, no offer to give me a ride downhill. I was the first wedding guest... they were not busy at all.

If you book this venue you won't regret it! It is sooo amazing!! This is one of the most high class venues I have ever been to! It is not only beautiful for photos but do yourself a favor and add video to your package! It's a joy just to walk around in this venue so if there is an open house do yourself another favor and at least visit this venue! On top of all of that you will fall in love with the venue manager/coordinator Chris, she is the cherry on top of this venue! I can't say enough good things about her, if you are stressed out, her calm nature will mellow out even the most tensed brides.

Views at this location is very beautiful. I attended a wedding here and the layout has a few different areas to host various parts of your party. We started out at the overlook for the ceremony. Went into the main building for the dinner. Had cocktails in the commons area and later on in the night danced the night away in the chapel. If you are hosting an event Villa Antonia has what you need including a picturesque backdrop.

My review and 5 star rating is based on our tour of Villa Antonia. We are from Houston. Our little brother and his fiance' are military living in Maryland and could not fly out to visit wedding venues. We are a tight knit family and would do anything for family!We arrived about 20 mins late. We apologized to Jim, who is our tour guide. He is so professional and patient with us. Upon arriving to the Villa Antonia, there is some anticipation. You get there and the views, the estate is breath-taking! But having Jim there really help us imagine a wedding filled with fantastic moments our family is about to part-take in.There are so many places to take pictures. I think that was what made our tour the longest. lol Villa Antonia is absolutely hands down, one of the best venues in Austin.We are narrowing down the dates! We can't wait to experience Villa Antonia! Make beautiful memories! It is like you are in Europe!Thank you Jim for taking the time to give us a great tour! It ruined it for all the other venues we saw that day! We saw a total of 5.

Quick Summary: Villa Antonia was one of the most incredible wedding venues I've been to and all their staff were top notch professionals! 100/10 would recommend!I'm writing this review coming from a unique perspective; I was a groomsman in a wedding on 12/20/21 but also the wedding planner for the couple so I was pulling double duty. I've been in this industry for what feels like forever and can say everyone at the Villa Antonia made this day as smooth and special as I wanted it to be for my friends. This was a destination wedding for the couple so it was especially important that we locked down all the details ahead of time so day of I would be playing the role of friend to the bride and groom, rather than wedding planner. Our day of coordinator, Emily, took special care to ensure that no details were missed. A few minor tablecloth issues were quickly resolved without fanfare and it was the smoothest wedding I could imagine! Thank you Emily and all the Villa staff for making that day so special and being so warm and accommodating throughout the planning process.Also, the building itself is gorgeous, no need to over the top decor. Between the incredible views from all angles to the unique architecture of the buildings, this venue stands out!100/10 would recommend!

On Nov 18, 2012 I married the woman of my dreams here. The venue was AMAZING and the wedding was everything we wanted. It’s changed ownership since then, so when I reached out to ask if we could stop by and take pictures with our four kids, I thought they might say no. But I was wrong. They were incredibly accommodating, going out of their way to let us come back on our anniversary with our kids and photographer to take photos. Big thank you to the Amy for setting this up and to Monica (hopefully I’m remembering her name correctly) for making us feel welcomed. The pictures came out so beautiful.

This place is gorgeous, it was great experience (speaking as a guest of a wedding) to take in, lots of space and many different areas to take pictures and get high quality videos. The ambience of this place was very much enjoyed, noone wanted to leave this place after the event. Definitely would recommend this venue to anyone looking into a place for wedding, reunions, parties, ect.

The most stunning venue imaginable. Sensational views, with a romantic tuscan vibe. What's really great is the venue includes an on-site coordinator day-of. We lucked out with having Chris there to run the show while we enjoyed our wedding with friends and family. She took care of all the details so we didn't have to worry about a thing!

Man, oh man. I'm a wedding photographer and this is one of my absolute FAVORITE venues in Austin. You truly feel like you've escaped to Europe. It is so unique - there is nothing else like it in Austin. The interior of the bridal suite has the most magical lighting - as does the terrace where the ceremony takes place (around sunset). There are so many photogenic nooks and crannies at this venue - it's a treasure trove for a photographer. I can't wait to work here again in June of 2021 and hopefully many, many more times!

Villa Antonia is absolutely magical! Everything about this venue is so perfect, from the Italian villa vibes, the view overlooking Lake Travis, and all of the different spaces you can utilize at this venue. Chris Spady, the venue coordinator, is such a joy to work with and was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions (which was a lot since I was planning an Austin wedding from Dallas). Our friends and family could not stop talking about how beautiful our venue was, and I really believe pictures don't do this place justice. This was the only venue we looked at because I knew before we had even parked the car for our tour that we wouldn't find anything as breathtaking as this venue. I am forever grateful that I got to marry the love of my life in such a magical setting!

We had our wedding at Villa Antonia in June! The venue is absolutely stunning and has incredible views. All of guests were raving about how amazing it was. From the moment you come up to the hill and see the villa from the road your jaw just drops. We got married on the terrace, did dinner in the wine cellar, followed by dancing in the cellar. Chris & her team are so easy to work with and make the wedding day run smoothly, they are fantastic. We did our room block at the Domain and had buses run between Villa Antonia and the Westin and there were no issues – it was perfect! I would recommend Villa Antonia to anyone looking for a unique and scenic wedding venue near Austin.

Villa Antonia is a dream come true. There are many hidden gems and unique spots here that you can really make it work for you in so many fun ways. Chris, the venue coordinator, is absolutely incredible and extremely accommodating. We felt like we had two wedding planners because she did so much to help us. We wanted our wedding to be outside and she worked with us and our planner to come up with creative ways to use the space. Also, when we had to schedule due to covid19, the ladies at Vill Antonia worked with us for weeks until we found a new date and refunded us for what we had previously overspent on. Love this venue!!!

This place is immaculate! The views, the venue and the staff are truly amazing. If you desire and outdoor/indoor wedding this is the place to be. The grounds are beautiful, I truly had a great time coordinating a wedding here. Ms. Chris & Ms. Marie are a dream team to work with. Please give this place a look! You will not be disappointed.
