If you haven’t heard of Ma Maison, you’re in for a treat! It’s a family-owned wedding venue located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, near Austin’s city center. Full of luxury vibes, Ma Maison has been serving couples from all over the world for over thirty years!

That’s a lot of experience!

If you’re in the midst of wedding planning and hoping to find the best wedding venue in the Texas Hill Country, you’re definitely going to want to give Ma Maison a look. Here’s why!

A Stunning Texas Hill Country Wedding Venue

Nestled on twenty-three pristine acres, Ma Maison is known for bringing a touch of Europe to the Texas Hill Country. In French, Ma Maison stands for “My House.” Between you and me, this place is so absolutely gorgeous, and I’d love it if it were my home!

Its European-style is unique from other venues in Dripping Springs, making it the perfect venue for those looking for Europe without European prices.

A lot of couples chose Ma Maison because of the elegant and homey vibes, but there are also so many other reasons to love Ma Maison. Let’s go over the top reasons I highly recommend Ma Maison!

Multiple Venues For Your Wedding Day

When I say this place is absolutely stunning, I mean it. It’s like the owner, Karen Moise, decided to bring a bit of the French countryside to the Texas Hill Country, in all of the best ways. The beautiful surroundings, from the oak trees to the sunshine, add to the magic of every wedding day there.

What really makes this wedding venue pop, though, are the different event spaces it offers.

The Iconic Green Cathedral

One of their most memorable outdoor options is the Green Cathedral. Its intricate metal design is unlike anything you’ll see at any other venue in the Texas Hill Country. Couples searching for a unique backdrop to their wedding ceremony or their wedding photography will fall in love with this spot for their dream wedding.

Make sure to take time when touring the venue to pause and imagine your family and bridal party celebrating in front of the Green Cathedral. I guarantee you’ll be tempted!

The Lake

Near the Green Cathedral is the stunning Ma Maison lake. It’s a beautiful wedding location for any dream wedding. Imagine saying, “I do,” in front of a sparkling lake touched with sunshine. Ma Maison has so many ceremony sites, and this is definitely one of the more popular ones!

The Grove

While Ma Maison has a variety of ceremony sites, the grove is what wedding visions are made of. You genuinely might struggle trying to pick between the grove and the Green Cathedral, especially if the wedding ceremony is near sunset.

Filled with green grass and wild oak trees that reach for the sunshine, this is one of the prettiest ceremony sites in Austin’s Hill Country. It’s also perfect for wedding photography!

The Indoor Chapel

While Ma Maison has stunning outdoor ceremony sites, for those not looking for an outdoor wedding, their indoor chapel will make any wedding day weather-proof. It offers a pathway to the reception hall, pews for your guests, and a crisp, clean setting for your wedding ceremony.

It’s a beautiful venue for those looking to bring a more traditional-style feel to their big day.

The Bridal Suite

Attached to the Great Hall is the bridal suite, a spacious part of the venue with enough space to fit a large bridal party and offers most amenities you’ll need throughout the day. Inside the European-style Chateau, the bridal suite has places for your friends and family to relax, spots to hang your dress (the images are truly iconic), and separate rooms for people to get dressed.

It’s a great spot to relax on your wedding day, saving you money from having to rent a hotel room or Airbnb to get ready in!

Services and Amenities

Ma Maison doesn’t just offer a gorgeous private European villa and photography-worthy spots; it also offers top-notch client care. Ma Maison always offers a venue coordinator on your wedding day as a part of their commitment to Southern hospitality.

One Stop Shop

Ma Maison is proud to make the entire process of wedding planning as smooth as possible. From the initial tour of the entire property to coordinating with all the vendors, the Ma Maison staff is extremely helpful from start to finish.

They have a list of preferred vendors, but also offer event planning services for weddings, holiday parties, private events, and so much more.

Location and Accessibility

Ma Maison is located in Dripping Springs, Texas, near Austin’s city center. That makes it easier for your out-of-town guests, because they can either book a rideshare or you can hire a transportation company so they can party without worry.

There’s a paved parking lot (not as common as you might think in Dripping Springs), wheelchair accessibility, and even a loading area for any wedding vendors involved with your dream wedding.

Tips For A Wedding At Ma Maison

As you plan for your wedding at Ma Maison, here are some tips to keep in mind during the wedding planning process!

  1. Tour all of the ceremony sites at the same time of day. If possible, take the initial tour during the time of your wedding ceremony if you’re looking for an outdoor wedding.
  2. Hire a wedding planner. This is a MUST. All dream weddings benefit from hiring a professional wedding planner. The wedding planning process can be so stressful, so having a professional can make all the difference.
  3. Use preferred vendors. Whether from the list Ma Maison offers or a list your wedding planner offers, it’s good to use a trusted source to find wonderful vendors.
  4. Check out a few other venues. Dripping Springs has multiple venues to pick from (you can find a list here), so make sure to tour the entire property, including the getting ready rooms, where the cocktail hour will happen, and the different services offered. Look up a venue’s next open house so you can figure out which is the better venue for your big day.
  5. Look up reviews. Not every venue or wedding vendor makes the entire process easy. Look up reviews on The Knot and Google to get a better idea of what to expect during your experience.

Wrapping Up

You have a lot of wedding venue optios in Dripping Springs, but there’s a reason I’m telling you about Ma Maison! It features some of the best aspects of the beautiful Hill Country, making every outdoor wedding really pop with sunshine and greenery.
