    Wonderful Venue!

    We could not have asked for a better venue for our budget, the staff is great. Victoria was so kind and helpful, she made everything very stress free because she always answered any questions we had. The venue is beautiful and historic on its own but once we had our decorations up it really became magical and fitting for our special day,

    Old Blanco County Courthouse's reply:

    Thank you so much for the excellent review. I am so glad that you had an amazing wedding. We thank you for taking care of the building while hosting your event.

    The most amazing venue!

    What can I say... this was the PERFECT venue for our wedding ❤️ it is gorgeous inside and out. Lesley, who manages it, is just about the sweetest lady you could ever meet. She helped me through all this corona chaos and did everything she could to make the day go without a hitch. I could not have asked for a better venue, and we will always love the courthouse !

    Old Blanco County Courthouse's reply:

    What a sweet review! Thank you so much. Taylor and Justin, it was our pleasure to be part of your beautiful wedding! We can't wait for your pictures! Congratulations

    So unique and lovely

    I absolutely love that our wedding ceremony was in such a unique and historic location. I really didn’t want a typical “venue” and the courthouse was so perfect. Lesley was awesome with communication and flexibility and did everything she could to make the day go flawlessly! Highly recommend.

    My daughter and son- in- law had their wedding in the courthouse this past weekend. The courthouse was beautifully lit for the Christmas season and a beautiful Christmas tree was standing in the courtroom. We could not have asked for a better or more unique venue. The building all by itself is gorgeous and the tall windows let in amazing light for photography. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We had to set up our own brideroom, but we didn't mind a bit. I would really recommend the courthouse to anyone wanting someplace different from the usual for a wedding.

    Old Blanco County Courthouse's reply:

    We are so happy we got to be part of this beautiful wedding!! We are working on getting a Bridal Room! Thank you!

    We absolutely LOVED having our wedding here! Leslie was so great to work with and very accommodating. We had so many compliments from our guests about the venue and its charm. We had almost 100 in attendance and still had plenty of space to comfortably sit and dance. My husband and I honestly can't recommend the Courthouse enough!

    We rented this venue for our wedding. The venue was beautiful, the customer service was amazing, and the price was great. We looked around for a venue that would fit our budget and style, and we found it! Our day was so amazing- if I could give more than 5 stars- I would! Very highly recommended.

    They made everything so easy here! We had an incredible time! We ended up having about 100 guests. The tables and linens are available for rent from the courthouse for a very reasonable price. There is a kitchen right by the hall, which is upstairs (there's an elevator in addition to the beautiful stairs). We had our ceremony in the park across the street and the reception in the courthouse. We used the clean up service, so our families didn't have to return the next day, and it cost $50 that came out of our $250 deposit. It was very worth it. There's nothing we would have changed if we did it all again!

    The Old Blanco County Courthouse was the perfect venue for our wedding party of 120 guests, who dined and danced the April night away in the beautifully restored courtroom on the second floor. In fact, we chose the weekend rental agreement, very reasonable, so we could decorate on Friday, celebrate on Saturday and then finish packing our things on Sunday. Staff is friendly and very helpful, facilities are pretty and clean and location, location, location is a big key: Easy for guests to find with plenty of parking to boot, great shopping and restaurants on every corner and situated right across the street from the well maintained city park, where we held the ceremony under the gorgeous old oak tree - the second oldest in Blanco County. If you're looking for Hill Country charm for your wedding, look no further than the Old Blanco County Courthouse. Bride, groom and all family members are still talking about how wonderful the experience was. Thank you, Blanco!

    And a big thank you to Lesley at the historic courthouse for all your extra efforts to make our day special, as well as thanks to Outback Party Rentals, Blanco Floral & Gift Shop, Old 300 BBQ, Real Ale Brewing Co., Becker Vineyards, Redbud Cafe, Hill Country Lavender and more fine local establishments for your outstanding services and products.

    Choosing a venue can be very stressful, but this is a hidden gem within the Texas Hill Country. Blanco is an easy drive from Austin or San Antonio, and close enough to both cities that you can easily get vendors (esp. DJ's and photographers) from those cities. The Courthouse is also in a charming town square that has some fantastic restaurants (including the Redbud Café). Additionally, the city park, which has the co-largest oak tree in Blanco County, is in easy walking distance. Our original plan was to get married under the tree and have our cocktail hour and reception at the Old Blanco County Courthouse, but our wedding was during one of the rainiest weekends of 2015 and therefore we had the ceremony inside the courthouse as well. The incredible thing is that when you rent the courthouse, you have the option of renting it from Friday afternoon to Sunday noon and it is probably the most affordable venue you will find in the Hill Country. If you want to get married under the tree in the city park, all you have to do is check to see if it's available that weekend- no charge to get married under the tree. Our ceremony and reception were on the second floor (there is an elevator for the mobility impaired as well as for any vendors with a lot of equipment). We had nearly 100 guests and it was plenty of room for dining and for dancing. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. For example, we weren't planning on getting ready for our wedding at the courthouse, but the weather that weekend gave us little option. The staff checked with one of the offices within the courthouse and we were allowed to change in the office of a business within the building. The building is beautiful and full of charm and character. They also provide names of local vendors (which is how we discovered our caterer- another Hill Country gem- see my review). The location is beautiful, there is plenty of parking, and the building is impressive.

    My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception last weekend at the Old Blanco County Courthouse. We had an excellent experience. Every nook and cranny of the courthouse is full of historic character. The staff was easy to get in touch with, helpful and made for a stress free experience. We even called to see if it was possible to switch our date 3 hours after leaving and they were happy to oblige. I really can't recommend this venue enough. If you've been looking for venues in Austin, you know how crazy the pricing is. You can have the courthouse for the whole weekend for the same price you would have payed for 7 hours in Austin. It is absolutely worth the drive. We heard several compliments from our guests about the venue. Take a chance and go check it out. I guarantee you'll be sold the minute you pull into the Blanco town square.

    Beautiful venue with historic country charm! Plenty of room for a smaller wedding. We ended up having our ceremony and reception inside due to the weather and it turned out even better that way!!!

    Wonderful location for a wedding reception! We had the wedding at the tree in the park off the square and then walked over for the reception at the courthouse -- plenty of room for a good-sized band and tables (we had about 100 guests plus a large band), great acoustics and wooden dance floor in the ballroom upstairs. The courthouse provides a wonderful vintage timeless feel to the event. We loved it. The large wooden staircase leading upstairs is wonderful for decorating and provides great photos. Leslie worked with us on getting the chairs and tables as well as ensuring we had plenty of time for our setup and cleanup crew to orchestrate before and after the event.

    Had our ceremony and reception here. It couldn't have worked out better. The venue was perfect and the price was right inline with our budget. As soon as we saw the place we knew it was for us. We got catering from Old 300 BBQ across the street and the whole event went off without a hitch. I would most definitely recommend the Old Blanco County Courthouse to anyone looking for a memorable and amazing venue to get married at.

    I could not have found a better place to have my wedding! The courthouse is full of beauty, charm and history around every corner. I could not believe we were able to book a hill country venue for such a great price. Leslie was so much help on my big day after a number of issues made us late setting up, she was running around, jumping in to make sure the tables and decor got set up. Throughout the planning process she was easy to get ahold of when I had questions.

    We had our ceremony here and it was pleasantly amazing. It gave that classic vibe that we were aiming for the theme of the wedding. Lesley the owner was so nice. The chair people delivered it a day early by mistake but she helped with it and made everything okay. This is a well priced location and overall lovely.

    My daughter had her ceremony and reception at Old Blanco Co Court House. We had the best time. Lesley was awesome. As usual we had hicupps. Our DJ was not able to make it so Lesley had a DJ in mind -Trevor and he was fabulous - The place was beautiful. We were able to bring in our own vendors (which helped with the budget) and the full kitchen is nice. I highly recommend this venue.

    Getting married at the 128 year old Blanco County Courthouse was a unique, wonderful experience. Blanco itself is beautiful, with the Blanco River and the state park. The limestone courthouse is beautifully restored and full of character. We were able to have both the ceremony and reception there by "flipping" the room: the ceremony first, upstairs in the courtroom, then downstairs for appetizers, and back up for the reception. There is a fully functional kitchen upstairs, two beautiful staircases, and an elevator. All our guests were thrilled with the historic atmosphere. We had the use of the building, tables & chairs, many other supplies, and the entire courthouse grounds outside. The manager, Lesley Griffin, is just outstanding; providing all kinds of information about local vendors, accommodations, etc. in addition to doing everything in her power to help plan for the space.
