Your wedding doesn't have to end at the altar. Come to the Hill Country a day early — or stay a few after. Say your vows at the chapel, then spend the rest of the trip exploring wineries, floating rivers, and lingering over long dinners. It's a wedding and a mini-honeymoon in one.
The chapel sits in the hills between Wimberley and Canyon Lake, about an hour from both Austin and San Antonio. If you or guests are flying in, the Austin (AUS) or San Antonio (SAT) airports are both great options and a similar distance to here.
Everything in this guide is within about 40 minutes of the chapel, and you genuinely can't pick wrong — the three areas just have three different personalities. Pick the one that sounds like your people, then dive into its guide. And when it's time to head to your ceremony, we have turn-by-turn directions ready.
Approximate, without traffic. Directions to the chapel →
Three areas, three personalities. Each one has its own guide — where to stay, where to eat, and what to do with the rest of your wedding weekend.
The classic Hill Country home base — a walkable historic square, creekside dinners, swimming holes, and most of our favorite stays, from treehouses for two to hotels steps from everything.
Best for: charm, walkability, and everything close — from a table for two to the whole crew.
Explore Wimberley →
The big-town celebration base — float the Guadalupe by day, two-step at Texas's oldest dance hall by night, and land at the area's biggest restaurants and beer halls in between.
Best for: hotel room blocks — and crews who want the nights as lively as the days.
Explore New Braunfels & Gruene →
The closest — and quietest — home base. Lake mornings, pontoon afternoons, and gated rental estates that sleep the whole crew under one roof, minutes from your ceremony.
Best for: groups sharing one big house — and anyone who wants a boat day.
Explore Canyon Lake →Staying a few extra days? There's also our Fredericksburg day trip guide — Texas wine country, about an hour and a half northwest of the chapel.
