4. Lost Mission
For the folks who love Spanish-style adobe and views of the Texas Hill Country
Just outside of San Antonio, Lost Mission is the kind of place that feels like it’s been plucked straight from a sun-drenched painting.

5. Ivy Hall
For a little oasis set in the city (with a whole lot of funky heart)
Full disclosure — this venue has a very special place in my heart because it’s where I got married 💘 Ivy Hall is tucked right near downtown SA, but step through the gates and it’s like entering a secret garden from another world. Think tropical plants, winding paths, and strings of twinkle lights glowing overhead as the sun dips low. It’s vibrant, funky, and full of soul — the kind of place where bold color and old-San-Antonio charm come together in the dreamiest way. Perfect for intimate weddings, backyard dance parties, and dinner parties under the stars.
6. Gardens at West Green
For the golden hour lovers and storybook dreamers
Dreamy light. Multiple setup options. A space that feels like a secret garden tucked away in the city. The Gardens at West Green is a gorgeous little outdoor venue that delivers serious fairytale romance and flexibility. The light here truly hits different — soft, glowing, and golden.

Whether you’re planning an outdoor ceremony framed by palm trees or sneaking away for portraits among the sculptures and painted walls, this venue brings timeless beauty with a colorful twist. It’s elegant, artistic, and unmistakably San Antonio.
8. The Espee
For the history lovers and city-scenery seekers
Once the Sunset Station of San Antonio, The Espee has been buzzing with life since the early 1900s — literally. San Antonio’s first spark of electricity happened right here, and it’s definitely a location still pulsing with energy. Today, it’s been thoughtfully restored into one of the city’s most iconic venues, right in the heart of downtown and neighboring the vibrant St. Paul Square. From the stunning depot arches and red-brick walls to the spacious lawn and tiled walkways, The Espee blends historic charm with a modern, downtown vibe. It’s perfect for couples who want character, story, and photo ops at every turn — especially if you’re dreaming of a city celebration that’s anything but ordinary.
9. The Gunter Hotel
For the vintage-glam folks
One of San Antonio’s most iconic hotels, The Gunter has major old-school charm with a modern refresh thanks to their recent renovation. Think timeless architecture, luxe textures, and an unbeatable downtown location (literally just across the street from the Majestic Theatre and just a short hop from the Alamo and Riverwalk). Plus, it’s the perfect spot for guests to enjoy the celebration and stay for the weekend.
10. Venue 88
For the modernists, the minimalists, and the wildly original
This is the newest San Antonio wedding venue on this list—and absolutely one to keep on your radar if you’re dreaming of something fresh, architectural, and completely one of a kind. Venue 88 blends sleek modern design with organic surroundings in a way that feels intentional and luxe from start to finish. The open-air chapel is a showstopper with clean lines and open sky. Then there’s the safari-style glamping tents for the most unexpectedly chic (and unique) prep space and the gorgeous modern reception space lined with white metal walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. Every corner makes the whole day feel like part fashion editorial, part elevated nature retreat.
