We’re here to help at every step. Once you’ve chosen Shiraz Garden everything else get’s easier.
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
“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.” event 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
