Shiraz Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding. The team there is incredible, professional, communicative, and personable. The grounds are stunning and they have options for all weather/ events. Our guests loved their time there and we could not imagine having gotten married anywhere else. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

-Evan, Groom April 2024

I had the pleasure of working at Shiraz Garden this past weekend, and I have to say, the team there is top-notch! As the wedding coordinator, I had to switch to a last-minute rain plan, and the venue managers (Olivia and Valerie) were incredibly helpful and flexible. They ensured everyone could get around the venue easily with golf carts regardless of the rain!

Throughout the day, they were so kind and attentive, always ready to lend a hand or answer a question. It's rare to find a venue team that's both organized and genuinely caring, but Shiraz Garden truly delivered. Highly recommend you to host your next event here!

- Maria, Planner 2024

We booked Shiraz Gardens for our celebration more than a year before the party (last weekend), and it was the best decision we could have made. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the place is - it is gorgeous! Kalli and the in-house coordinator, made the day perfect for us. (Big shout out to the rest of the team who set everything up, too!)

My partner and I were not looking for a wedding and all of the traditions that come with it. The Shiraz team worked with us to execute that vision - they were accommodating, welcoming, and communicative throughout the whole process. I organize large events and had a very specific way I wanted things, so the day of in-house coordination package ended up being perfect for us. I'm so grateful that they require you to have a day-of coordinator because I might have tried to do it on my own and that would have sucked.

- Carolina, April Bride 2024

The venue manager, Kalli, was super knowledgeable and had some great recommendations for us to come in under budget and plan something that felt unique to us and celebrated two cultures. Also, the pricing includes tables and chairs. This venue has a lot of really beautiful spaces for the ceremony, reception, and photos, so you can choose what works for you.

Shiraz offers affordable in-house coordination, and it otherwise wouldn't have been within our budget to have a day-of-coordinator. Emma, was awesome, and thanks to her we could relax and be in the moment on our special day. Lindsay and Valerie (the other two Shiraz staff) were also super sweet and helpful.

This is a beautiful venue that provides the space and flexibility for you to plan whatever type of celebration is best for you.

- Mina, March Bride 2024

Thank you so much for your kind email and for sharing your team's words - it truly means so much to me!! I enjoyed working at your beautiful venue and with your amazing team as well - Lindsay, in particular, was incredible - she was always on top of it, supportive of whatever was needed, and took initiative. With Maxwell + Gray, we try to be the hardest workers in the room and she gave me a run for my money! :) And she was so kind! 

We also just wanted to say “THANK YOU” for this past Saturday. We work with a lot of vendors and venues and it's rare that we have an over-the-top experience from beginning to end but working with you was just that and more for Lizzie + Evan's wedding. You were so communicative and professional - your systems work and made for a super smooth planning process as well as a day that allowed us to have everything set in place so we could truly adapt in the moment to what our couple needed. I don't know if Lindsay, Alexis, or Valerie mentioned but Lizzie ended up washing off her makeup and redoing it herself, and that could have resulted in a big delay but we had such a communicative team that we were able to give her all the time she needed while still starting the ceremony on time! Everyone was so professional and worked for the good of the team/wedding day/couple - it was so fun! 

With that, we'll absolutely be recommending Shiraz to future clients - it really has it all and is a true gem. Y'all were awesome and we cannot speak more highly of you. We hope you have a great rest of your week! - MAWELL + GRAY PLANNRES 2024

This venue is head and shoulders above any other venue in Central Texas. Unique, beautiful, amazing staff, myriad options, reasonable vendor requirements, all without being overpriced. We toured many venues around Austin and the Hill Country, but after seeing Shiraz, they all felt tacky and cookie cutter in comparison. Even the most lavish places we visited lacked the natural beauty, uniqueness, and charm that Shiraz has. Kalli and the Shiraz staff are amazing and went above and beyond in every aspect of their work, including organization, courtesy, preparedness, and thoroughness. Their recommended vendors were all top tier, as well, so we relied on the venue for many aspects of our wedding and it really reduced the stress levels. The space itself boasts so many features; the bridal cabin is spacious and well-placed, as was the groom's cabin; the parking is more than enough for even the largest affairs; the site itself is immaculate without looking over-worked or too manicured; there are so many cool spots for great photos or private moments; the formal garden has a perfect layout and is classy without being ostentatious. I could go on. It's hard to say that anything is perfect, but my partner and I can't come up with a single criticism to level. Just take a tour, and see for yourself.

- Megan and Evertt, December 2023

When I started to think about planning my wedding, one of the things I googled was Iranian American weddings, and there it was! Shiraz Garden! Looking at the pictures, I knew that that was our venue. It’s like a little piece of heaven that was handpicked from both Iranian and Texan ranch architectures.

Their recommended vendors is where I found my amazing Wedding Planner, who had a great relationship with the venue, and everything just fell into place after that. Shiraz Garden’s rules were very clearly communicated upfront, and on the day of the wedding, their onsite staff were nothing but kind and caring to ensure we had a great day!

Our wedding turned out to be everything we had dreamed of and that would not have been the case without Shiraz Garden.

-Pari, Bride December 2023

We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding. Starting with Kalli, she was wonderful and knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect date for our wedding and answered all of our questions. I went with most of the preferred vendors Kalli put together on the site and everything was perfect, and they all communicated so well with one another. The venue was so stunning and unique and you can really make it your own. We added the Persian rugs for the aisle and dance floor and it was the most beautiful addition, I highly recommend it. Every single person who works here is so sweet and helpful, they really have the most wonderful team. We went with Brittani, one of Shiraz Garden’s in house coordinator and we were so grateful we did. She went above and beyond to make the day perfect. We were really able to enjoy the day because of her without worrying about details or timelines. She just told us what we needed to do and what was next and really was able to bring the vision to life. Everyone was asking us why we didn’t seem nervous or stressed, and a big part of it was because Brittani and the Shiraz team really handled everything and we got to enjoy our day. I could go on and on about how much I love everything about this venue, but most of all I loved that there’s a Persian wedding venue right outside Austin Texas with the most gorgeous architecture. It felt so unique and special to me as a Persian bride. I just can’t believe it was so perfect, and all of my family and friends loved the venue too.

- Nikoo, Bride November 2023

Shiraz Garden was the perfect location/team my wife and I had the pleasure to work when tying the knot. The location was spot-on at the wedding day for our guest and us to adore both day & night. This summer has been no joke and the the team there were fully aware of this as they accommodated us with the extreme weather. If you're looking to have an outside wedding ceremony and wish to not suffer under the direct sun, then look no further. A big thanks, on the day of, to the two ladies driving everyone around on the buggies who were super kind and really made the day feel special. Kalli was highly informative and extremely accessible (both virtually and in person leading up to the big day). We really couldn't have hope for a better team for our big day. The first look & golden-hour photoshoot locations were breathtaking and make the ideal wedding photo to be framed in our home for many years to come. Ask plenty of questions, take advantage of the vendor recommendations, the in-house table/chairs/décor/rugs, a Grade A team to work with, and don't be afraid to tell them exactly how you envision your wedding day experience to be like; all can be yours to enjoy and cherish at Shiraz Garden! -Brandon & Jazmine, Groom and Bride, June 2023

My husband and I had the best experience with Shiraz Garden! We communicated virtually with Kalli, who was absolutely incredible. She’s helpful, responsive, and makes wedding planning a breeze. The venue is absolutely stunning. We had our first look at the Hidden Staircase and held our ceremony at the Mohana Overlook. Both locations are gorgeous and made for perfect photos!

Lindsay helped us the day of, and she was amazing! She was attentive, helped get everything in order, and was the ultimate hype woman! She was always making sure everything was set up the way we wanted and was so helpful in making the day run smoothly. We highly recommend Shiraz Garden if you’re looking for a wedding venue. Not only are the views breathtaking, but the people are a joy to work with and make the experience so fun! Caitliyn, June 2023 Bride with Intiamte Elopment

"Kalli!  I wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU email to you and your team for everything this past weekend!!! Lindsay and Ilene were so sweet and greeted me upon arrival. They were so ON TOP OF IT that, honestly, I didn't even need to ask; they were on it already! They knew the timeline, the floor plan, and everything - I was so impressed & I hope to have this team for every wedding I have at Shiraz! 

They were such lovely teammates, I told them I wished they could have stayed the entire time! Lindsay, Ilene, and Gabe all made the Wedding Party, Couple, and even the Vendors feel so welcomed and special! I know you told me that's part of the Shiraz Magic, but seriously, I am so incredibly impressed and I wish every venue could do this!

Overall, I cannot tell you enough how amazing and wonderful your team was and how fun it was to work with them!! And THANK YOU for all YOUR hard work and answering all my questions!! You are so on top of it and train your team so well!!! My experience with you all was FANTASTIC and I can honestly say, one of the best venue experiences I've ever had in all my 8 years in this industry!! So a big thank you to you, the ladies and Gabe - Saturday was perfect and you/they were all a big part of it!!  CHEERS to more events together in the future!!" Carissa, Momentus Wed - Wedding Planner 2023

We got married at Shiraz Garden a little over a month and it was literally PERFECT. The moment we went and did a tour with Kalli, we knew right away that was where we were getting married. Kalli’s hospitality and knowledge is unmatched. There were several opinion and logistical questions during the planning phase that I bounced off of her and she was quick to respond and honest which I so appreciated and needed. The day of, her staff treated us like any guest should be. They were friendly, accommodating and genuinely catered to our needs. The venue itself, breathtaking. The views make for the bet photos and the layout in general provides for a perfect flow for a wedding. The Persian rugs made the best final touches for our big day. I cannot say enough about Shiraz Garden and all that comes with it when you book it. You won’t regret it! Rachel, April 2023 Bride

Shiraz Garden was our dream wedding venue.

I am so grateful to their whole team for making our wedding day run so smoothy, stress-free, and overall beautiful. A huge thank you to the kind and thoughtful Kalli who helped us since day 1. My husband and I were originally planning on getting married in the state we grew up in and where most of our family and friends live; however, after randomly being in the Austin area the weekend Shiraz was hosting an open house, we spontaneously decided to go. And we instantly fell in love. (I had luckily seen Shiraz Garden on Instagram and started following them in hopes of getting inspiration for our own wedding).

I was never the type of bride who put much thought into the wedding planning process. I didn’t have strong a preference on the venue, food, or even my dress. I just wanted to marry my best friend. We toured many venues and thought most of them were fine. But when we toured Shiraz Garden, I cried. I was filled with so much emotion picturing my family and friends dancing on the Persian rugs and couldn’t picture a more beautiful space to join our two families into one. The beauty, vibe, cultural history all combined with a gorgeous Texas countryside background made it the perfect wedding venue.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the entire Shiraz Garden family & team for being such a significant part of our wedding day. Minda, March 2023 Bride

If you’re looking for a scenic spot to have your wedding in the Texas Hill Country, look no further! Shiraz is IT! My husband and I only toured one venue and it was this one. We immediately fell in love with not only the beautiful property but we were also blown away by the amazing director, Kalli. Our tour was over video and she was so careful to make sure that it was a good experience. It was such a good experience that no other venue we were looking at felt right and we went with Shiraz. We got married last weekend on the day after our five year dating anniversary.

There is no other word to describe our wedding except magical. It exceeded our expectations. Our in house coordinator, Brittani and the Shiraz staff helping us on the day took stress off of us and totally delivered the perfect day. I will never forget Brittani for how good she was to us. She totally helped keep me calm just be being herself and keeping on top of things. The views and the accommodations are amazing but the staff are the biggest shining stars of this venue. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Ashley and Brandon, Feb 2023 Bride

Thank y’all for the most gorgeous wedding. The guests were gushing over the whole thing and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. It was incredible. The staff and the grounds were amazing and I cannot overstate how wonderful Brittani was! We fell in love with it the 1st time we saw it over *video call*! It has such charm and the people working there make it even better. Thank you for maing this such a special experience! Kalli, your wealth of knowledge is out of this world, you rock!

The first two Shiraz staff that helped me on my wedding day were amazing! Emma and Kayla. Those two were above and beyond, for sure. They were so knowledgeable and helpful. One of them, was even entertaining my kiddo during the first look. Somehow they also kept track of my son’s switch that he left in the golf cart and my clutch. They also were good liaisons between me and Brittani (In-House Coordination) while she was in and out of the bridal cottage. And Brittani, she is fabulous. So chill and easy to work with. She directed the set up of the decor seamlessly and didn’t have a lot of time to get it done. She headed up issues before they came up and  totally took the stress off of me (which isn’t easy, lol). I loved working with the whole team including you! Ashely, Bride Febraury 2023

I planned almost my entire wedding while I lived in a different state, and the wedding venue was what I was most worried about. Not being able to see the venue in person before I spent $$ on it was SO nerve-racking. After many Zoom tours and phone calls, I finally came across Shiraz Garden.From the start, I knew Shiraz had everything I wanted - a GORGEOUS ceremony backdrop, versatile spaces for dancing/eating, an ideal location close to hotels, and an involved venue manager who could help with vendor suggestions and setting up.

The venue manager, Kalli, was there the entire time leading up to the wedding to help - she was SO responsive and eager to make our day truly unique! I genuinely felt like she cared about us beyond just clients and that she actually wanted our day to be special and personal to us. on the wedding day, she was so kind and always checked up on me but I never felt like she was overstepping. She just really cared! I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything venue-related with her around.

After the wedding, I couldn’t even keep track of how many people came to me to tell me how gorgeous the venue was! Even though the temperature had dipped super low (for Texas), the venue still took people’s breath away. We even had to make a last-minute switch that morning when we realized how cold it would be, and Kalli and her team made it happen seamlessly (or at least it felt seamless on my end!). Kalli and Shiraz are seriously the hidden gems in the mass of central Texas wedding venues!! So happy to have chosen this venue for our day. Alex, Bride November 2022

What an absolute dream, start to finish. Kalli was exceptional; her communication and assurances throughout the entire experience helped to quell any worries we had. The venue itself is STUNNING, incredible, exactly how I envisioned my daughter’s wedding. While our weather turned chilly, they had options for our guests. The bridal suite? Perfection. I could not have asked for a better wedding venue! Jana MOB, November 2022

11/05/22 was our PERFECT day! We booked shiraz 8 months in advance, and the planning began. For anybody considering booking shiraz, you absolutely must and will not regret it. This venue is so unique and so beautiful, if you have any guest traveling in from out of town this will show them the beauty of what Austin is built on. Kalli the venue director is so sweet and so kind, I wanted her to come to the wedding! She was so helpful from day one, a rockstar on communication. Any little question that arose, she responded in lightning speed and included links, recommendations, and facts she goes above and beyond in any which way she can to help you. I chose to go with Brittani the in house coordinator, she is was absolutely incredible. She worked her freaking tail off, anything that was an issue small or big she took care of it with a smile on her face. These two women are incredible, this venue is incredible. You will not regret it! Kenna, Bride November 2022

Shiraz Garden is a geogeous venue with endless possibilities for any backdrop you dessire for yoru wedding! It is absolutely stunning! You can have your event be classy, rustic, elegant, modern, relaxed, formal, and anything in between! The staff were endessly helpful! From beginning to end we had help with decison making, planning, set-up, organizing, and take down! So many little things that are not in the day to day job description of the In-House Coordinator were “handled” professionally to the best of her ability as this near panic stricken momma told her something else that wasn’t done and needed to be to make my baby’s “dream wedding.” If it was in her power, she made it happen!! Brittani was so helpful, and must have been exhausted at the end of the day especially because it wasn’t “her party” o get to enjoy. But she didn’t complain, she just kep thte train on the trakcs and kept it on time for every little thing that needed to happen! I would recommend Shiraz Garden to EVERYONE that wants to have a beautiful venue with room to spread out and scenery to enjoy! It was a perfect day and a perfect wedding for our daughter, and it will be a place my family never forgets! All you have to do is look at the pictures to see how joyful this place makes you feel! Tammy MOB, November 2022

Ahhh!!! It’s been so incredible working with you!!! Seriously, you have been so helpful I can’t express how much you helped me make it through! Kalli, I seriously can’t stop telling everyone about how much you have meant to me on this whole journey. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! , Makenna, Bride, November 2022

Where do I even start? From the moment we stepped on the Shiraz Garden property we knew this would be the first and only venue we would want to see, we were sold! The beauty and magic of the venue in January during our first visit - to the perfect autumn colors & warmth on our October wedding day we were in awe (and still are). We had the pleasure of working with Kalli who made sure that all our out of the box ideas happened (walking down the aisle with my pup, having umbrellas hovering over the reception & first dance overlooking the sunset)! Day of wedding, all venue staff gave us their undivided attention & all our vendors/guests feel taken care of. Forever thankful & blessed to have had Shiraz Garden be a part of creating & honoring our new traditions for a perfect Indian-American wedding! I do want to add that this venue made adjustments to be accessible for all folks (offering day off transportation around venue sites) & made sure guests are safe & taken care of! Ashika, Bride October 2022

Words cannot express enough the incredibly wonderful experience we had with Shiraz Garden.

It all started with you! From the moment I started communicating with you about the venue and availability to the day we did the site visit. Shiraz was the first of 2 site visits we did that day and after the other site visit, Lauren and I both knew Shiraz was the one and because of your vast knowledge of the property, the way you explained everything, your enthusiasm of the property sealed the deal for us. Plus the beauty of the property was phenomenal!!

From that day forward the communication was truly outstanding as I’m a believer that you can NEVER over communicate and that is a huge plus in my book. There was never a moment where I felt confused, frustrated or bewildered and overwhelmed because I could count on you to help me through the process and you did exactly that and that is priceless.

I have to thank you for all your recommendations, especially with the wedding planner, Jazmin and Lauren were terrific together and hit it off from the get go and hit it running.

I also want to commend the staff that helped us on the day of the wedding, they were very attentive and happy to help in any way with out fuss and generally seem to really enjoy what they were doing. That is rare!

But I must point out someone that went way out of her way and beyond to lend help in any aspect that was needed, and that lady was KAYLA. She is remarkable and a true asset to Shiraz! She was so pleasant and inviting and was always happy to help in anyway she could and that type of attitude with service is exceptional!

Another gentleman by the name of GABE was such a great helper with a can do attitude and was so gracious in helping us pack up and did it with a smile and gratitude.

Kalli, thank you again for all that you do and did to make Lauren’s wedding dream become a reality! It was truly magical and a beautiful memory I will cherish for a lifetime! MOB, October 2022

Gorgeous, friendly, perfect. This venue had everything we needed and the team and staff made our day perfect!! From the tour to the day of- Kalli was quick, and responsive and was quick to answer any questions. On the day of, Kailey not only was an amazing teammate, but helped us with nerves, parking, and anything I could have needed. The venue was beautiful and we got so many compliments on the views!!! Definitely recommend this venue!! Angelica, Bride October 2022

Thank you so much!!! This wedding was possible because of your amazing venue, as well as fabulous staff. It was everything we could have dreamed of. The venue was perfect, the spaces were beautiful, and the communication was amazing from the very beginning. We are so lucky to have had the chance to celebrate at the Shiraz Gardens property.

Nothing but good words for the entire team! Thank YOU!! Bride, October 2022

I want to thank you for being the best ever! You went above and beyond for us and i seriously can’t thank you enough. I love how you answered every question we had and even gave us some inside advice. I knew I liked you the moment we met. I also want to say that your staff was amazing! Kayla went above and beyond for us and especially me. I can’t thank you and her enough. I will forever and always tell everyone about Shiraz and how they should spend their special day there as well. Bride, October 2022

I needed a couple of days to properly articulate what you have meant to us throughout this process. I truly cannot thank you enough for your dedication to making sure our wedding day was exactly what we envisioned. Your quick replies to emails, your team on Saturday, the venue it was all absolute perfection.

I cannot adequately put into words with this venue has meant to us from the start. It’s about a 20 minute drive from Austin in between Bastrop and Austin. GORGEOUS. Absolutely STUNNING. The best part of this venue, is their manager, Kalli Fullerton Doubleday. This woman is absolutely incredible; from the first call we made, until the day of she was everything from a planner (not officially), friend, and organizer. She answers emails within 5 minutes most of the time and the concerns I had she immediately helped manage. Kalli Fullerton Doubleday will be a long time friend of mine. She made our wedding process, as seamless as it could have been. Britteni, Bride, September 2022

This venue is sooo stunning!! As a wedding photographer, I recently shot here and absolutely loved the whole experience, even on a 107 degree day. The location is perfect, it's right outside of Austin so we avoid all the downtown traffic and parking. The scenery is incredible, very lush and greenery everywhere, no houses in the background so it's perfect for photos. The super helpful staff at Shiraz helps shuttle the couple and photographer for photos around the venue, very accommodating and lovely venue perk!! The sunsets there are phenomenal! The whole vibe of this venue is awesome, highly recommend this venue to all my couples! Photographer, 2022

We cannot recommend Shiraz Garden highly enough, Kalli specifically was one of the most helpful people to talk to and ask question to throughout the wedding planning process. She always made me feel better when I was feeling stressed. Moving on the venue itself, it is BEAUTIFUL! Shiraz Garden was literally the only venue that my husband and I toured. Easiest decision in the wedding planning process was picking Shiraz Garden as our venue. Bride, June 2022

My husband and I only saw one other venue before we went with Shiraz Garden. Once we saw the space, we were hooked. It's a beautiful area with a lot of land- meaning, you get a lot of options for photo ops! We worked with Kalli who suggested vendors to us, helped us with layout ideas, and worked with us to create a memorable time. They were accommodating and helpful when we had to unfortunately move our wedding date back, and were always available to answer any questions. We had the best time! Bride, June 2022

We recently moved to Bastrop and were so excited to have our wedding ceremony at this gorgeous local venue. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable, and they provided great recommendations throughout the planning process. The property is so beautiful, and so big! It has several locations to choose from for ceremonies, receptions, and photos -- including an amazing waterfront spot on the Colorado River where we did our first look photos and a stunning hilltop vista for our ceremony. We are so happy with our wedding experience and highly recommend Shiraz Garden to anyone planning an event. Bride, March 2022

Shiraz Garden is an absolutely beautiful venue tucked away besides a nature preserve in Bastrop. We received so many compliments from our guests about how they felt they were transported away to a magical area. Kalli & her Team were an absolute pleasure to work with; they were so accommodating and helped make our wedding day spectacular even with inclement weather. If you are looking for a getaway venue surrounded by beautiful nature and want to work with absolute professionals, Shiraz Garden should definitely be at the top of your list! Groom, December 2021

Shiraz Garden is absolutely breathtaking! It’s one of those places that you’ve seen in movies. Then it finally hits you that your special day is happening there! Wow! My wife and I are over the moon! I can’t say it enough! From the ceremony area to the reception area was spot on everything we could have wished for. The staff was amazing at taking care of us and our guest. Please please look no further this venue is exactly where your next should be! Being at Shiraz and getting married their you could feel the love in the air...Thank you Shiraz Garden for everything! Groom, December 2021

We are SOOO happy we choose Shiraz Garden as our venue! Not only is it just absolutely beautiful, but Kalli is amazing to work with. She is very quick to respond and answer any question or help with anything you need! She goes above and beyond to make sure your day runs smoothly and to give you all the information you need! All of our guests were raving about how gorgeous the venue was! Bride, October 2021

Shiraz Garden was the only venue we looked at after we got engaged. We instantly fell in love with the views of the hill country and beautiful cottages for the bride/bridesmaids and groom/groomsman. Kalli was so informative and responsive 100% of the time (even after she had her newest baby!), and anyone would be so lucky to have her insight. She was helpful with any question we had about vendors, timeline and just overall opinion on our wedding. The preferred vendors list was also incredibly helpful in helping us make headway in finding vendors that were wonderful, since they’ve already been vetted. The Shiraz staff was also amazing. From the start of the day to the end of the night, the staff was kind, fun and made sure that we had the best day. If you're looking for a venue that offers incredible views and has the capacity for both small and large scale celebrations, AND has a staff that is attentive and kind, you can't beat Shiraz Garden. Bride, October 2021

We fell in love with Shiraz first from the internet pictures then from our visit. We were basically sold at the Open house! We really wanted an outside wedding due to Covid and also to show the beautiful nature that Austin has to offer. Shiraz totally gave that to us and even beyond. Not only was the venue stunning, but the service was also outstanding! As a bride, having a personal planner is a huge lift, but just imagine having two personal planners!! That's what you get for choosing Shiraz as your venue! Kalli was beyond amazing! She truly did act as a second planner. Being above and beyond, making sure all of our plans and visions were taken into consideration. We could not be thankful enough! Planning the wedding had its difficulties regarding logistics as we had a very different vision than all wedding that happened at Shiraz, but the team made it possible and even when the rain wanted to spoil the day, Shiraz had plans to make the ceremony beautiful. Shiraz is a beautiful venue that has a lot to offer and I cannot wait to see all the amazing offers they have for upcoming weddings! THANK YOU all so much for making the day memorable for us and our guests. Bride, May 2021

We are so so grateful for all the incredible job and support your team has extended to us. We cannot thank you enough! Kalli, special thanks to you for always being available, answering questions, giving suggestions and go above and beyond for an incredible reception! The guests were delighted by Shiraz and the services. We are so thankful! Bride, May 2021

Where do I begin! Shiraz Garden and Kalli made our wedding the most epic and seamless wedding experience. Better than anything I ever imagined for myself! I could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony, epic reception and smooth planning process. The Shiraz Garden venue is quite possibly the most beautiful venue I have even seen with so many different options for you to coordinate the wedding that fits exactly what you want.

We were married at Sunset Vista with the most beautiful backdrop of the Central Texas Hill Country. We did not even need much décor because the view itself was more beautiful than anything we could have ever created ourselves. The guests also had the best time hanging back and taking pictures with the view themselves – who does not love a good background!

From there, the ease and beauty of getting from the ceremony at the Sunset Vista to the Formal Garden was another part of the amazing experience. The walking path was incredible, and we had a mariachi band waiting on the path after the ceremony completed. Once we were married, they began to play, and everyone followed them down the path into the Formal Gardens where the fun really started!

The Formal Garden made for such a beautiful reception with the gorgeous waterfalls, fire pits and great space for everyone to feel safely distanced. Also, the short distance from the bar to the dance floor was of course a major hit! OH and the RUGS on a dance floor were epic! I have been to a million weddings and it was something special and beautiful that I had never seen before. Everyone was raving about how unique it was!

I cannot say enough about Shiraz Garden as a wedding venue and Kalli and her team. They made the entire process so simple and seamless. She provides all the tools and communication you need to make every wedding decision possible. Bride, April 2021

I found Shiraz Garden on The Knot, and was immediately drawn to it. It ended up being the first of only two venues we toured, we loved it so much! Kalli was so incredible to work with, from the first tour up to/beyond wedding day. She was able to work with us to coordinate last minute (and rescheduled) engagement photos on the property, allowing us and our photographer to feel out Shriaz a little more before wedding day. Kalli does not stop working to make your day perfect. As for the venue itself, it was so perfect for us. Hill country, on the Colorado River, ornate yet not overdone...it is unlike any venue I've ever seen. We ended up including the rug dance floor, and it was such a hit! Every detail - just perfect. I will spend however long it takes to convince my new husband that we need to have another event with Shiraz. Anniversary? Large post-pandemic party? Don't know, but we'll figure something out! Bride, Nov 2020

It's honestly hard to find the words to express how wonderful our wedding was, greater than anything we could have possibly imagined... and all thanks go to this *STUNNING* venue, to Kalli, and our coordinator Jazmin; they worked tirelessly making our dreams come true. Kalli and our coordinator Events by Leslie (book them both, you won't regret it) are two truly badass women, that every bride needs to maintain their sanity throughout the planning process and to ensure you are going to get the most perfect wedding day that every happy couple deserves! Bride, Dec 2020

Shiraz Garden is by far one of the most beautiful and well organized venues I have ever had the pleasure of working with. As a wedding planner, it's important to have relationships with vendors that make your job enjoyable and easy. The venue manger Kalli does all of this and more. Kalli and her staff are incredibly prepared, organized, kind and helpful. They have truly thought of everything to ensure each event is seamless and beautiful. The space is absolutely breath-taking and makes for the most gorgeous photos. I honestly can not recommend this place enough. Planner, 2020 wedding

Superb! Thank you to Kallie and staff for their patience, professionalism, and support with everything involved in my daughter's wedding, from the vendors to the wedding party and family and friends. The beautiful venue speaks for itself and Kallie and her team made the event go smoothly and beautifully for the wedded couple. There were glitches that Kallie managed exceptionally well - I will speak highly of her to any and all who ask. Thank you again! MOB, October 2020

10/10 highly recommend!! Kalli is phenomenal, she is the most helpful and organized person and she helps take so much stress off the wedding weekend and planning. The venue is so gorgeous, with so many different photo spots and multiple ceremony spots to choose from. The Sunset vista has such a beautiful view and the sunlight makes afternoon ceremonies glow! The formal garden has beautiful water features and the string lights that line the garden make it magical for an evening reception. The built-in bar and kitchen are too perfect, and the bridal cottage and grooms cottage were the most relaxing places to get ready. The venue is so accommodating and their recommended vendors are just as great. Book with Shiraz before they’re all booked up, you won’t regret it!” Bride, 2020

This hill country venue is truly unique and beautiful. Kalli was a dream to work with from the beginning of the planning process. I was originally having a large wedding but because of COVID, I opted for an intimate ceremony and Shiraz Garden was the absolute best setting I could imagine. With tons of spaces to choose from it's hard to go wrong here. The bridal and grooms cottages are large and beautifully styled to get ready pre-ceremony. I only wish I would have known about this venue from the beginning of my planning process because I would love to have had my large celebration here. This venue is sure to become one of the best in Texas! Don't look any further and book your wedding day here!!!Bride, 2020

Shiraz Garden was our DREAM venue! I couldn’t believe we found a place so beautiful, dreamy, and that fit our wedding vibe this perfectly. Truly, while the venue is one of the most gorgeous I have ever seen; to top it off Kalli is the most helpful, kind, and accommodating to work with. She helped us have so much ease while planning our destination wedding! Shiraz has multiple options for photo opportunities, and many ceremony sites to pick from which is just a bonus! Our wedding guests are still complimenting on how beautiful the space was! The venue still looks beautiful in the evening, and has room for a food truck which was so fun! I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Shiraz! Bride, 2020

“Wow - Shiraz Garden has one of the most beautiful Sunset Vistas I have ever seen in the Texas Hill Country. The first time I laid eyes on the space, I immediately knew it was the perfect place to execute my vision! When I found out that Shiraz Garden had a collection of beautiful Persian rugs, I was sold! There were so many unique rugs I could choose between which really brought my vision to life! Shiraz Garden has so many spectacular locations for your event. Their spacious bridal cottage is located within a beautiful forest which truly creates a tranquil ambiance. The Colorado River runs through the venue and is the perfect location to capture formal photos. When I received the photos I was absolutely stunned as they are some of the most beautiful formal photos I have ever seen! I worked closely with Kalli closely during the event planning process and she is one of the most responsive venue managers I have ever worked with. She always got back to me within the hour which made planning an extremely smooth process. If I ever needed anything, she was there to help with the most positive, uplifting attitude. Any client who books at Shiraz Garden will be in the best hands with Kalli” Planner, 2020

“A GEM in the hills of central Texas. There is no place like Shiraz Gardens that I have experienced. Breathtaking views from every spot on the property and amazing staff. Kalli is so easy to work with and makes sure everything is perfect. I cannot rave enough about her skill in managing such a large operation. I highly recommend this wedding venue as it is unlike any others in the Austin area, and well, Texas for that matter!” Photographer, 2020

“Shiraz Gardens is a lovely gem of a venue tucked away in Bastrop, just 30 minutes from Central Austin. The ranch is massive, providing practically endless opportunities for various site uses and locations - each spot surrounded by a lush, scenic natural backdrop. The facilities are elegant & luxurious for a remote country setting, and their staff took great care to make sure all of our needs were met for a seamless wedding.” Planner, 2018

“My wife and I were married here in August of 2016 and it was an absolutely amazing experience! We had nearly 300 guests at the wedding the and the venue was perfect for such a large group. The outdoor bar and water features were a highlight for everyone that attended and we got plenty of compliments on that space afterwards. The vendors appreciated the space and had no complaints regarding space or cooperating with the facility in order to provide their services without a hiccup. Overall, it was an amazing, unique space that my wife and I are very thankful for. Tough to beat the hill country of TX” Groom, 2020

“Elegance, serenity and uniqueness are but a few of the qualities that Shiraz Gardens exudes. The management is so professional. They go to great effort and detail in making a one-of-a-kind day so memorable for both the bride and groom and their guests. While many venues offer modern and rustic options, the only venue in the area I know of that also offers an old world charm option is Shiraz Gardens.” Planner, 2019

“Kalli was amazing. She was there for me through everything and always answered any questions I had and did everything I needed. She made my planning experience so easy!” Bride, 2018

“I’ve been to two weddings here and both were completely stunning. The support team is fabulous, and the grounds have a feeling that is somehow both glamorous and homey at the same time. Spectacular venue!” guest

“Shiraz Garden was the perfect hill country setting for our intimate wedding! The staff made it easy to plan and prepare for our big day. They had plenty of helpful recommendations for us out-of-towners. Our guests enjoyed the picturesque setting next to the Colorado River - truly a dream. I can't recommend this place highly enough! The perfect place to tie the knot” Bride, 2018

“My husband and I got married here in early November and couldn't imagine our wedding anywhere else. We had our ceremony at Sunset Vista whose name perfectly represents the space-the pictures hardly do it justice. It was the perfect backdrop for our multi cultural wedding. We blended our Persian, American, Indian and Puerto Rican cultures together throughout our wedding including our ceremony. It was so easy to have our reception at the nearby Chahar Bagh Formal Garden where guests could easily walk from our ceremony site. We had an amazing family style meal catered by Pink Avocado who I highly recommend if you want a custom menu created for your wedding. They were able to create a meal that was representative of our cultures and was incredibly delicious. My favorite part was our cocktail hour that included a stuffed avocado bar that was set up in the covered outdoor kitchen area within the formal garden so the guests were able to enjoy the cocktail hour why Terra Vista Strings, our string quartet, played in the background. We rented several Persian rugs from the venue to use in both our ceremony, lounge spaces and on our dance floor which made the spaces feel even more amazing.” Bride, 2020
