Top 7 Reasons to Have an Event at Texas Old Town

There are many people in the surrounding area that do not know about us and more importantly are missing out on the opportunity to have an elegant Texas hill country get together with all the conveniences of home...(we have three kitchens, dressing rooms, bathrooms, showers, you name it.)

Texas Old Town is an entirely family owned and operated venue. We offer three separate and distinct facilities that provide quaint streams, beautiful craftsmanship, your choice of vendors and a one-of-a-kind Texas Hill Country experience.

Are you interested yet? If not, here are 7 more reasons to choose Texas Old Town as the venue for your next event.

#1: Texas Old Town is set on 51 acres of land in the Texas Hill Country. That means we have room. Room to romp and play and more importantly, room to set up say an indoor/outdoor family reunion, wedding reception or even just set up some water slides for the kids.

#2: We are an open facility. What does this mean? You are free and welcome to bring in any vendor of your choosing. We won't pull hair or take sides (or your money), because we want you to have the best event possible.

#3: We have 3 separate halls. Yes, I already said it, but this means we can have 3 events going on at one time with out anyone ever seeing or hearing one another from the other events. So go ahead and party the night away, just remember you do have to drive home later.

#4: We clean up. This is something simple, but so helpful. All you need to do is show up, decorate (if you like), eat and be merry, and then take any decorations home with you. We take care of the clean up and tear down.

#5: All tables and chairs are provided. Do you know how much it costs to rent tables and chairs these days? It's a scary number.


#6: Corporate events are a breeze. You tell us what you need, how many people and the date and we will give you a quote that can include everything from just the facility to catering, decorations, and even a casino night or laser battle.

#7: We have 2 other venues in Texas. Yes, It's true. We have a venue in New Braunfels called Boulder Springs and also a venue in Montgomery (near Houston) called Amber Springs.

Making a Wedding Budget: Where do you start?

If you are like most people, you don't really have an idea of where to start when making a wedding budget or even how much things costs. No one wants to begin married life in debt, so don't let money matters give you a sour face.

Jean Chatzky, Today financial editor and author of Money 911 joined up with Brides magazine to create  "sweet" money fixes for the majority of wedding planning/marriage issues.






The Problem: You're starting marriage in major debt (you had to invite everyone on your 300-person guest list). How do you get back on track?

The Solution:  Imagine your debt is an all-day sucker, which you can whittle away if you keep at it. Add up all that you owe, then find ways to cut back while you pay things off. Little sums add up quickly-so start by skipping your coffee run every morning. Bonus! Licking that debt together is a surefire way to strengthen your bond.

The Problem: While he's still in school, you'll be the only one working.

The Solution: Consider this time an investment, and his graduation a PayDay. "Figure out how much money will be coming in each month, and attempt to live on that rather than going into debt," says Chatzky. "If he's taking out student loans, be sure you both understand how much the monthly payments will be once he graduates."

The Problem: You're a saver; he's a spender...or vis versa. ;)

The Solution: Try the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup method: Combine your two money styles to create a new kind of satisfaction. Designate, say, $50 each week to spend freely and at least 10 percent of both incomes for savings. Set a goal for the savings sum; a trip to your favorite destination, a new big screen?
