Before we started our wedding venue search we created a list of priorities for our wedding: on-site…read moreaccommodations for our wedding party and families, an outdoor reception, and not a rustic barn, but we wanted to be submerged in nature. After looking at wedding venues all over the Austin area I quickly became discouraged and felt like I would never find something that would check all the boxes. That is until we found Messina Inn, a small family owned and operated venue tucked into the quaint town of Wimberly. From the moment you drive through the gates you are transported to an Italian countryside villa where you can spend the weekend relaxing with 32 of your closest friends and family. Each cottage and private room has a beautiful view of Cypress Creek, surrounded by trees, and the occasional deer visitor. All rooms have large private bathrooms, king sized beds, and a fireplace, which added an extra cozy touch when the temps dropped the day before our wedding. As guests arrive at your wedding they step onto a sprawling lawn with tall trees, rock wall features, and views of the creek. We felt like we were submerged in nature for 72 hours and even heard some friends calling it a fancy adult summer camp. The venue is so beautiful that when it came to decor, we found that minimal was best, as we only needed to enhance the beautiful property. After reviewing all of our photos I'm happy with our decision, there is truly not a bad photo from the whole place! We chose the all inclusive package which included full use of the venue from Friday through Sunday. This was a nice touch for our friends and family staying on-site as we did not have to worry about transportation throughout the weekend. This plan also includes having Cherri coordinate and select certain vendors for your wedding, included the florist, cake bakery, bartenders, DJ, and lighting. If you are planning a wedding you probably already know the amount of decisions you are having to make. So it was a nice touch not having to locate these extra vendors, and because they have a relationship with the venue I felt confident in their work. Whether you choose all inclusive or not, you will be required to use the in-house catering. Do not let this deter you!! Trust me!! The head chef, Jason, is a part of the family that runs Messina Inn and I have never tasted any food of his that I didn't love. Throughout your planning process you'll have the opportunity to attend 3 tastings where they prepare different selections from their menu for you to try. The options range from mouth watering pecan crusted chicken, to brisket tacos, and savory macaroni and cheese bites. Since this is a small business you can trust that there is a high level of care and attention to detail when it comes to the food being prepared for your wedding. We loved the food so much we even chose to add on their catering for our rehearsal dinner. Throughout our planning process and into the weekend of our wedding we were well taken care of by Messina Inn's staff. Cherri went above and beyond making sure that all vendors were on time and in place. She even brought breakfast to me on the morning of the wedding so that I didn't have to walk to the breakfast room in my robe and slippers and risk bumping into the groom. Throughout the reception she made sure the groom and I were taken care of with beverages. Cherri handled all the little fires that find a way to come up on wedding days, demanding family members, weather control, and last minute setup changes. Cherri wears a lot of hats when it comes to your wedding weekend and her hard work did not go unnoticed. Thanks to Messina Inn we were able to fully submerge ourselves into the wedding weekend experience with our closest loved ones. We had such a memorable weekend wedding and I'm grateful that Messina Inn is a place that we will be able to come back and stay for many years to come.

They even had a gift bag for our dog. So thoughtful I made a reservation about a month in advance never been to Wimberley. I had the best customer service by Albert I would email him and he would respond within the hour and he was full of information. Thank you Albert you are awesome I had so many plans but unfortunately it did not go well the swimming hole was closed which was not updated through the website or Yelp. Zip lining no one answered the phone to make a reservation I tried online and they never had an opening- just a note to call the office Jacob's Well also closed Blue hole was open but no swimming allowed Thoughts outdoor activities will likely be open closer to summer possibly in May Even though we were unable to do the outdoor activities we still had a relaxing mini honeymoon and the best part was we brought our Xena and the stores welcomed her It's just another excuse to come back to Wimberley in June when we know everything will be open

She made making a reservation a snap (you have to call), and check in and out was seamless. Being right on the main square, it's convenient to EVERYTHING in Wimberley. We parked our car on Thursday, and didn't touch it again until we left on Saturday (we are big walkers, though. But seriously, this is as convenient as it gets.) The cottage has easy access to food, art, shops, and there is a trail that starts just about 2 doors down and will take you straight to Wimberley's famous Blue Hole swimming area (just about a mile walk down an easy trail.) The cottage is quaint, cute, and cozy. The AC works well (a huge plus in summer!). The bed is very comfortable. The kitchenette isn't going to be enough to cook up anything crazy, but you can bring home leftovers, store them, and heat them the next day. There is a little balcony that overlooks Cypress Creek that's just lovely, and a gazebo in the back area where you can sit and enjoy the fantastic live music that Ino'z pub serves up next door. I went for a dip in Cypress Creek, a creek where the water is so clear that you really have no idea just how deep it is until you realize that you can't touch the bottom. Perfect for a hot summer's day! Also, there was a little inflatable boat that we took up and down the creek a couple of times just for kicks. We really enjoyed our 2 night getaway from the hubbub of the city to sleepy little Wimberley, and are eternally grateful for a nice and quiet place to stay that was so convenient!

Booked two rooms on New Year's Eve at the Bygone- our first time staying here!…read more The hotel is just like the pics- easy to find just a few minutes from downtown Wimberly and very cute. I loved the manicured main lawn with tables and heaters and even an axe throwing set by the deck! I like how they stagger sitting areas around the property to give some quiet and privacy. The pool and pool area were really nice, including the sauna. The woman working was so friendly and helpful as well- she been helped with our bags since we had dogs! Also really love that they allow pets for a very reasonable charge. Rooms were super cute and the shower was amazing. I had to take a start off for a couple things. The heated pool needs to be about ten degrees hotter in the winter months- it was more like tepid bath water. The cold plunge is broken which was disappointing. The fire pit instructions have been washed almost away by rain and we couldn't figure out how to light the fire pit. All little things- but the biggest thing was that they advertise a main den area with a bar, coffee bar, deck, and room upstairs with games and a vinyl player. Well because it was new years, staff left at 6 pm and locked it. And no one was working New Year's Day so that stayed locked. So we lost access to all those things and no one communicated to us that we couldn't get in the main building. We saw several other guests all trying the door to go in and get something so clearly they didn't know. If you are going to severely limit amenities I think it should be communicated- especially because I actually email the hotel a week or two before just to check and see if we would have full use of things and I got a very terse and unfriendly response back. Overall though, I want to try the proper try again on a normal night and hopefully upgrade to that 5 stars!

Being in The Perch (name of the room), it was such a treat. It features a king sized bed, a desk with a view, beautiful furnishings & decor, a modern shower, and a gorgeous view of the hill country from the balcony. You can tell every detail has been carefully selected, including the aromatic soaps in the rooms. Music revolves around the property and creates a perfect atmosphere. All that's missing is an on-site dining service--something I truly hope they add, as it would allow guests to fully enjoy their retreat in the woods without needing to leave their oasis.
