About The Arlo
The Arlo offers exclusive use of its purpose-built venue, accommodating your guests across a carefully considered layout of indoor and outdoor spaces. While on-site accommodation isn’t available, its central location between Austin and Dripping Springs means guests have access to a wide range of nearby lodging, from boutique inns to full-service hotels.

Weddings
Ceremonies
The Arlo offers a range of thoughtfully designed spaces in which to anchor your special moment. Each location offers its own tone, setting, and rhythm with a maximum capacity of up to 300 guests.
- Storie Hall: A vaulted, light-filled interior space (1,800 sq ft) with timber trusses and a dramatic 18-foot window – ideal for intimate gatherings or in case of inclement weather.
- The Courtyard: A manicured, evergreen lawn (1,500 sq ft) surrounded by six patio trees and framed by iron-and-glass doors, structured yet open, perfect for a classic ceremony or elegant cocktail hour.
- The Lawn: A more expansive outdoor setting (2,600 sq ft) with mature oaks and a built-in fireplace – well suited for sunset vows or larger guest lists.
While The Arlo does not provide in-house planning services, a professional event planner is required and couples can choose from a recommended list or nominate their own with approval. Ceremonies may be symbolic or civil; couples should confirm legal recognition with their planner.
Receptions & Celebrations
A wedding at The Arlo unfolds across a well-paced twelve-hour day, with each phase finding its place across the venue’s well-designed spaces:
- Cocktail Hour: Hosted on the West Terrace or Veranda – covered outdoor spaces that offer a relaxed transition from ceremony to celebration, ideal for mingling with drinks and canapés as the light shifts.
- Dinner and Dancing: The Ballroom, with its 4,600 square feet of clean-lined, neutral-toned interiors, is designed to accommodate large seated dinners followed by dancing. Oversized windows and a 22-foot coffered ceiling lend an airy elegance.
- Evening Lounge: The Courtyard or Lawn can be styled into relaxed lounge areas for guests to unwind as the night draws to a close.
Accommodation
While The Arlo does not offer on-site accommodation, it is situated close to a range of upscale hotels, inns, and vacation rentals in both Austin and Dripping Springs. The venue team is familiar with the area and can recommend suitable lodging options to suit guest lists of all sizes. This flexibility allows couples and guests to craft an extended wedding weekend with ease.
Catering
Dining at The Arlo is an experience that feels distinctly Texan — generous, stylish, and full of hospitality.
Partnering exclusively with a handpicked list of top-tier Texas caterers, The Arlo ensures that your wedding menu reflects both your personal style and the regional culture. Whether you’re envisioning a refined multi-course meal with wine pairings, a spread of passed canapés and craft cocktails, or a lively Hill Country cookout with smoked brisket, local bourbon, and pecan pie, the options are deeply rooted in flavour and experience.
Catering teams are accustomed to working across the venue’s variety of spaces, and each meal can be mapped around the different moments of the day – from seated dinners in the Ballroom to alfresco rehearsal feasts in The Courtyard or farewell lunches on the Lawn. The venue’s prep kitchen is fully equipped for professional teams to operate smoothly, and all food services are tailored through approved vendors.
While The Arlo does not supply alcohol, couples may provide their own beer, wine, and spirits – a Texas tradition – which must be served by TABC-certified bartenders arranged via a listed or approved bar service. Whether you’re serving signature margaritas, small-batch bourbons, or a curated local wine list, drinks can be distributed via indoor bars or outdoor stations, depending on your setup.
