The perfect setting for your ceremony with a beautiful lawn and the Texas State Capitol in the background!
The Texas State Capitol in Texas’s Capitol city of Austin, Texas is a beautifully landscaped location with rolling green hills and beautiful large trees. As small wedding planners, we love to plan Texas State Capitol weddings and elopements. This free location feels very private though it is a public space as the property is very large and offers many areas to choose from. Though this location is a historic marker it is a working government building so all weddings are conducted outside unless there is inclement weather.

Interested in adding a reception?
Here Are the Options Available for Texas Capitol
Plan a Reception your own
Many couples plan receptions on their own at their homes, AirBnBs or simply make reservations at a restaurant. If you are having 20 guests or less this may be the best option for your own day. If you need any services, we can provide as little or as much as you need from table settings to additional hours of photography!
Onsite Mini Reception
Onsite Mini Receptions are simple receptions meant to simply capture the moments of cake cutting, toast/speeches, and 1st dance immediately following your ceremony at the ceremony location. These short mini receptions add about 20 minutes to the event and allow you to get pictures of these wedding traditions without the expense of a sitdown-style reception. Everlasting Elopements will set up a small decorated table to display your cake and provide all materials needed to cut and serve the cake as well as do a toast. Additional reception services can not be added to this service.
Reception Options Below can not be performed at this Venue
This venue does not allow for receptions however we can perform any of our reception options below at a 2nd location.
We suggest the following options:

Micro-Receptions (Micro-Weddings)
Our micro-reception packages designed for small guests counts are perfect for those couples wanting all the aspects of a large wedding but slimmed down to better suit their smaller guest counts. Choose between these 3 levels :

Testimonials
They were AMAZING! We wanted something small and intimate for our wedding and boy did they deliver! I will definitely let everyone I know that is getting married to contact them! Our minister was awesome and super flexible with where we wanted to perform the ceremony at the capital! Thanks again!
It was a perfect, quick, and simple ceremony for my husband and I! The photographer we got was perfect!
Great company for a small wedding. The officiant was friendly, accommodating and very sweet. Performed a great, quick ceremony. Kari was helpful. Overall it is what we needed for a short wedding ceremony and we have nothing to complain about.
How does it work?
Everlasting Elopements’ unique and simple virtual wedding planning system was built to simplify the wedding planning process. To keep the stress out of the process, we have a step-by-step system to plan your wedding ceremony from now to ‘I Do’.
It all starts with the ceremony package! Once you have selected this we can customize any extras and build on a reception package. Then we will help you select and book the perfect venue that fits your vision. Once you book, it’s just a matter of completing a few forms, then showing up on the day with your license and rings– we do everything else! Wedding Planning does not have to be stressful or hard if you have the right team behind you to execute a flawless wedding day!
1. Select Your Wedding Ceremony Package
Whether you are looking for an elopement, a micro wedding, or just a simple exchange of “I Do”- we have a package for you to choose from. The first step is to select which one is right for you.
2. Select Your Extras
Once you have selected your package, you can select which level suits your needs. Each package has a Basic, Deluxe, and Premium level that offers various upgrades and add-ons. This allows us to do as little or as much as you need on your big day!
3. Select Your Reception Options
Once you have finalized your ceremony plans, we can add on one of a variety of reception options. Whether you want to have a Mini-Reception or Full Reception on-site, eat at a restaurant, or plan a reception on your own, we can help with rentals, cake, coordination, photography, and everything else you could need. If you decide to add reception elements in addition to your ceremony, we will simply pair the two packages together to get you the services you need for the full wedding day you are dreaming of!
4. Choose Your Venue
Now that we’ve gotten to know you and your wants and needs we can recommend venues that will work best for you! Or, if you have one already in mind, our packages will work there too. While we have many locations on our website for you to browse, if it’s not on our website we can still serve you there! Our packages work at ANY location!
5. Stress Free Planning
Once your ceremony has been reserved through our online reservation system, we will send you a series of emails with forms that go directly to your vendors. All you need to do is complete the forms and your vendors will reach out if needed. Remember, you always have the ability to add new elements as well as upgrade services you already have at any point if you choose!
6. Your Wedding Day
You and your fiance, along with any guests, will show up at the venue you have chosen with your marriage license and rings. The Everlasting Elopements Team of Wedding Vendors will take care of the rest and all the details so you can focus on what the day is really about- Marrying the One You LOVE!
