Your Ceremony & Celebration

The patio & outdoor furniture

The short answer

Every couple gets the patio after the ceremony: six high-top cocktail tables, five wood benches, six limestone seats, and a 6' patio table, under shade sails with the Hill Country view. We don't provide linens, but you're welcome to bring your own.

Right outside the chapel is the patio: open air, shaded by sails, looking out over the Hill Country. After your ceremony, guests can head out here to mingle and enjoy the view. You can have your music lead play your after-ceremony playlist over the patio speakers.

What's on the patio

Piece How many Size
High-top cocktail tables (round teak top, black base) 6 24" round, about 42" tall (bar height)
Wood benches 5
Limestone block seats 6
Patio table (wood top, white legs) 1 72" long × 24" deep, 30" tall

The high-tops are for standing, cocktail-style. The benches and limestone blocks are the seats. There are no dining tables or place settings out here.

Linens

We don't provide linens. The high-top cocktail tables have teak tops, and they're meant to be left uncovered. If you'd still like cloths, you're welcome to bring your own: a 24" round spandex cocktail cover fits the high-tops, or a 108" round tablecloth falls to the ground. Take them home with you when your window ends.

Seating for older guests

If a grandparent or anyone else would be more comfortable in a real chair during the cake cutting or toast, you're welcome to bring some chairs from inside the chapel out to the patio.

Bringing your own table

You're welcome to bring a small table of your own for a Polaroid station, a gift or card table, or a memorial table. Set it up when your window opens and take it home at the end. See decorating the chapel for what else you can bring.

Your first dance

Plenty of couples have their first dance on the patio right after the ceremony, with the Hill Country behind them. Your music lead plays the song over the patio speakers from the same phone that ran the ceremony — there's no speaker to bring — and our handheld mic is there if someone wants to announce it. A parent dance, the cake cutting, and the toast all fit out here the same way; the Premier sample timeline shows how it flows.

Food and drinks out here

The patio is generally where the cake, the toast, and any food or drinks are served after your ceremony. What's allowed on your experience, including Grazing Table Setup on Premier, is on Food & drinks at the chapel. The tables inside the chapel are on table sizes.
