Star Hill Ranch is a unique and accommodating event venue in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

Star Hill is a meticulously reconstructed re-creation of a Texas Hill Country community typical of the early 1900s. The buildings that form this idyllic community have been relocated from around the state and carefully restored. The venue is centered around the historic Pontotoc Chapel, which has hosted hundreds of public worship services and weddings since it opened there in 2004.

Star Hill Ranch provides a special setting for Wedding Ceremonies & Receptions (and Rehearsal Dinners), Corporate Events, Holiday Parties, Non-Profit & Fundraisers, Greek & Student Events, Church Retreats & Events, Film & Production, and anything needing diverse facilities and flexibility in a beautiful setting.

We’re located on Hamilton Pool Road in Bee Cave just minutes from Lake Travis.

  1. Matt and the whole team at Star Hill worked hard to make our day effortless and so special. We met a few times ahead of the big day in the months before to have the layout and schedule ready, and Matt had everything ready for us just as we had asked. They are very experienced with small or large events, they have furniture and props you can utilize on the property to customize your layout as needed. There are so many beautiful areas at this venue. You have multiple spaces for the ceremony and reception to choose from which makes worrying about rain nonexistent because you can simply move one your ceremony inside if the weather doesn’t cooperate. The chapel has a quaint, old-fashioned feel that my husband and I absolutely loved. It made the ceremony feel intimate and romantic. We had our reception in the schoolhouse which has a large covered porch for guests to mingle on, even if the weather is bad. There was the perfect amount of space for our ~70 guests to eat, dance, and drink. The venue has a very authentic Texas feel, as it is surrounded by historic buildings. It’s a perfect venue to host out-of-owners, they are sure to have a memorable and fun experience at Star Hill. We wouldn’t have wanted to have our wedding anywhere else – everyone at Star Hill makes you feel like family. This is hands down the most unique and special wedding venue in the Austin area!

  2. My now husband and I found this venue on google search and we fell in love with it just from seeing the photos and reading the description. We flew in from Los Angeles to check it out in person and it absolutely exceeded our expectations.
    Star Hill Ranch is such an awesome venue with unique atmosphere and fun structures throughout which can be used for different purposes. We used the bride’s cottage, the groom’s quarters, the reception hall for a band and dance, the Fitzhugh for dining, and of course the charming little chapel and our guests loved it all.
    What made the place even more special was its co-owner Matt who is very passionate about his work and helping people through what can be a very stressful process. We felt he was truly happy for us and wanted to help in any way possible. He was always extremely generous with his time and had a great, can-do attitude no matter what issues we threw at him.
    Our wedding turned out perfect and we couldn’t have done it without him. We married end of May last year and everybody is still talking about how epic our wedding was.

  3. We had such an amazing wedding at Star Hill Ranch. Matt, who runs the place, was so helpful and made sure our day was perfect. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone out there looking. We had so many compliments on how the place was like a hallmark town and so picturesque. The pricing was also very affordable and it was so convenient that they rent out tables, chairs, dance floor, and everything else you typically have to get delivered. We had a wonderful experience here and could not say enough great things about this venue.

  4. Of all the comments people had about our wedding day after the fact, the top one was “and we just LOVED that venue! How the heck did you guys find such a special place?”

    We booked the venue while living in a different state, after my parents scouted it out. They knew instantly that it was the perfect fit for us, and they were right. If you are looking for a charming, intimate, rustic, memorable space to get married or host an event, this is the place to do it. We can’t wait to visit again soon, and Star Hill Ranch will always hold a special place in our hearts.

  5. We had our ceremony and reception at Star Hill Ranch on 9/28/18 and I cannot speak highly enough about our experience working with them. The venue itself is gorgeous and offers a ton of options on where to hold events and how to set them up. Main Street and each of the buildings themselves are so picturesque they hardly need additional decorating. There are so many details to take in, our guests were snapping photos all over the place. We had a ton of pictures just from friends and family the next day, and our professional photos are amazing. We have an awesome selection of pictures and a lot of that is due to how unique the venue is. We worked primarily with Matt, who is so kind, upbeat, and reassuring. He offered solutions when I had questions and really put us at ease that our event would come off without a hitch. He’s also super flexible, offering options for contingency plans and ideas to make the best use of the space.

    We also hired Renee as our day-of coordinator. She was absolutely fantastic–if there were any hiccups in our plans, I didn’t even notice them. She also had ideas for setting up some decor that turned out beautifully. Between the two of them, our day went by like a dream. It was truly amazing thanks to all of their hard work. We were thrilled with how everything turned out and can’t imagine having gone anywhere else.

  6. Matt is by far one of the most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure of befriending.

    My wife and I had our wedding at Star Hill, and it was beyond everything we could have wished for. It’s a beautiful venue with an amazing and rich history. It’s packed with authentic furniture and everything is just so perfectly placed.

    If I could have every family function and barbecue at Star Hill, I would because it’s so picturesque and jaw-dropping in the day. At night, it’s like a beautiful dream.

    His daughter, Renee, was our day-of coordinator, and she knocked it out of the park.

    I highly recommend Star Hill Ranch for your next venue. You won’t be disappointed.

  7. My husband and I got married at Star Hill two weeks ago and it was a magical experience. Not only are the grounds stunning and historical, but Matt and Renee Woolley are honest, salt-of-the-earth people that made our wedding so special. Matt accommodated our budget and worked with us to make sure we could still have a special experience without breaking the bank.

    Renee’s wedding coordinator services on the day of the wedding were invaluable. She managed everything for us so we didn’t have to worry about anything.

    Matt was extremely attentive for months, answering our many random questions with kindness and timeliness. Over the few months of planning, Matt truly became our family. I can’t recommend Star Hill enough for a special, one-of-a-kind experience.

  8. We had our wedding at Star Hill Ranch and it was such a great experience! We had so many compliments on the venue. Everyone thought it was so much fun that they could walk around and see the whole town, and they loved the amount of activities we had for entertainment around the whole venue. Matt is also fantastic to work with! He is super responsive and knows so much about the industry that we felt like he was always there to help us along the way.

  9. Matt Wooley of Star Hill treated us like family from our first visit to the sparkler send-off. He stayed in constant contact with us, answered all questions promptly and thoroughly, and was so incredibly kind and accommodating, it was as if we were old friends. He gave us absolutely every opportunity to set up early and made excellent recommendations on every level of the process. The venue is stunning, so beautiful and was the perfect setting for a supremely unique, beautiful, and utterly joyful day – it was the best party I’ve ever BEEN to, let alone thrown. I can’t give any higher recommendation to Star Hill and their staff. I’ve been playing it over in my head for weeks – your guest will have a blast here (and so will you), and the Star Hill team will give you the royal treatment.

  10. Where to begin!? Star Hill Ranch was the perfect place to get married. I had not seen it before we came down for the wedding (we live in Alaska!) but my wife had. She described it as a wonderfully picturesque old timey town and she was spot on! The setting was incredible, especially as the sun was going down! Everything looked great. All our guests commented on how cool the whole place was. Beyond the setting, the staff were incredibly helpful. Matt Woolley is a wonderful guy and he bent over backwards to make our wedding perfect. I would recommend this venue without hesitation to anyone looking to have a wedding or any kind of celebration near Austin! Thank you Matt and the Star Hill Ranch staff!

  11. We attended my brother’s wedding here October 2017. It was honestly the most unique, picturesque, beautiful venue I have ever been to. Each different area had such charm and beauty. The ceremony and reception were outside, except for an adorable old western bar that was available to grab cocktails and hang out during the reception. The bridesmaids’ “house” was a perfect area to get ready. I cannot rave about this venue more. Just being there puts an endless smile on your face.

  12. I can’t say enough about this venue and the Matt and Adam (the owners and management). We had our wedding here in October 2017 and from when we first booked until the day of the wedding they could not have been more helpful and accommodating to us to make sure everything went smooth and it was the wedding of our dreams. And the venue is hands down the most spectacular venue in Texas. We had guests from all over the country and they were in shock at how beautiful and how “Texas” this venue was. I urge you to just visit Matt and Adam at the venue and you will be sold immediately by their welcoming presence and the beauty of the venue as they give you a tour (which is like stepping into a museum of Texas).

  13. Star Hill Ranch was the most breathtaking, vintage, traditional and unique venue in the Austin area that had our wedding guests in awe. From the beginning, Adam and Matt (owners) made us feel so welcome and were available to answer any and all questions right away. They made us feel so at ease as we moved along the wedding process, especially considering we were planning the wedding from another state, Illinois. Not only is this venue so beautiful and unique, the rentals they have available are just as amazing and fit well with the aesthetic and vintage vibe that we were looking for. As we began adding new ideas and expressing our vision, they were more than willing to accommodate and assist in making our dream a reality. Matt and Adam are truly great people and really made us feel so comfortable and excited throughout our journey. THANK YOU THANK YOU STAR HILL RANCH!!

  14. So glad to finally check out Star Hill Ranch! Attended a beautiful wedding here. Feels like a small, old-Western town. There’s a bar, a chapel, a “pharmacy”, and many other buildings.

    The chapel is very small and does not provide much seating. After the ceremony we returned outside where we had tables, dancing and a DJ under the lights and stars. Seriously a clever venue. So cool it is so close to town as well. Recommend.
