11 Things You NEED To Know About Springdale Station, Austin

Perfect For Corporate Events and Nonprofit Galas

The wide variety of events Springdale Station in Austin can offer is pretty amazing. Because it's such a dynamic space, so many kinds of clients can use this event venue with enormous success. With two conjoined rooms, each with its own unique feel, you can offer guests different feels at the same party.

A Stunning Outdoor Space

Not only does this gorgeous event venue have stellar indoor space, the backyard isn't too shabby, either! A stunning lawn is the perfect backdrop for all kinds of wedding ceremonies. The only downside is that Austin East Cider's is right next door, so you might have some lookie-loos, but they are only going to cheer you on silently.

One of the other great benefits of the one-acre space is a gorgeous overhang that spans the length of the station, offering coverage from the sun or rain. Inside hangs a chandelier to die for, providing an intimate feeling while keeping your party going in rain or shine.

Has The Perfect Lounge Space

Right next to the room with wall-to-ceiling windows is the spot perfect for cocktail hour or greeting your attendees at the installed bar area. It's a stellar lounge space with space for different furniture options.

I've seen lots of weddings use this area for couches, tables, etc., to really make the space pop, making it easy to effortlessly entertain guests and attendees between activities.

A Bar Area For Cocktail Hour

Right next to the lounge space is the bar area, with a built-in wood bar painted the same color as the black wooden walls. There's enough space for guests to line up and chat with one another, and still, there's plenty of room for others to move around freely.

A Separate Room For a Dance Floor

While the main room is all wood trusses and rustic wood floors, the room next door is white and bright. Especially for larger events, this beautiful room can be either an overflow space, a spacious dance floor, or anything you can think of.

Infamous Austin Vibes

Right next to downtown Austin and a quick drive from the Hill Country, your guests can enjoy a night on the town before or after your event or grab an Uber when they feel like skipping the annoying thing called driving. I mean, who wants to drive after a party like the one you're about to throw?

But Springdale Station isn't just about the general location, but what's located right next to it. Many a groom and groomsmen have taken a walk over to Austin East Ciders for a glass of cider. With picnic tables and sunshine, it's a hard vibe to beat.

The Perfect Blank Canvas

Sometimes, an event has a vision attached and needs an event venue to carry it. But others, like Springdale Station, offer a blank canvas with a little added spice of the wood trusses and rustic wood floors. But really, any kind of vision can go with those. Truly.

The architecture is one-of-a-kind, which is why it's one of the best venues in Austin.

I've seen traditional and non-traditional weddings happen at this spot, and all of them have shined. The historic vibes pair with all sorts of design ideas, so I'm positive you'll love it.

Ample Parking Lot Size

Because Springdale Station, Austin, is neighbors to Austin East Ciders and the Bouldering Project, parking in the main parking lot can be tricky. The parking lot size can offer some hiccups when it gets busy, especially on a weekend.

But right behind Springdale Station is another parking lot, offering a total of 250 parking spots for your guests.

FLOOR-TO-CEILING Windows

If you're into light, then Springdale Station brings that in spades. It's one of the things that makes this event venue so unique—the amount of light that can fall into the room without being overbearing. It allows guests to feel included in the lively atmosphere while offering the feeling of space and familiarity.

Somehow Still Offers An Intimate Feel

You might be surprised to know that an industrial and contemporary event venue could offer an intimate feeling, but it's true. The warmth from years of memories and historic vibes emanates within the wood.

Lots of happiness has happened here, and you can feel it from the moment you step past the threshold.

Wedding guests will be awed when they arrive. So many guests through the years have chattered at cocktail hour about how they love the intimate feel. Even with the one-acre outdoor space, it still feels like a home.

It's Pet-Friendly!

If your dream wedding includes your furry friend, you're in luck! Springdale Station is one of the only pet-friendly venues in Austin, making it an ideal space for those who know their furbabes are #1.

Although Springdale Station is perfect for any kind of event in Austin, it's really well-known for providing world-class services for weddings.

I've yet to see a wedding day at Springdale Station have anything less than a magical day. Because it's located in an up-and-coming area, Springdale Station has grown astronomically in popularity in Austin, TX, because it can easily accommodate a couple of hundred guests with the right floor plan and layout.

For engaged couples planning their special day with the most important people in their lives, Springdale Station has oodles of benefits.

Benefits of Weddings At Springdale Station in Austin, TX

As I've mentioned before, the layout of the wedding venue is lovely. With over 4,300 square feet of space, you can fit a great deal of guests in the ample space. Everywhere you look, there are awe-inspiring backdrops, providing a dynamic look for every event and every single photo.

Parking

With 250 parking spots available, your guests will have an easy time finding a place to park. But because it's also close to downtown Austin, your guests can utilize ride shares to save time and stay safe.

I also recommend ride-share coupons sponsored by your event to make it even easier.

Great Team of Vendors

It can be overwhelming to plan the big day, but Springdale Station makes it easy. Hosting an event almost every week means Springdale Station has curated beautiful working relationships with awesome vendors in Austin.

On their site, they have a list of preferred vendors you can see (and I'm on there!), and all of them are tried and true. This also means they're really familiar with the venue and venue manager, which only ensures your event will be stress-free with their world-class services.

Of course, you can bring your own vendors, too, so don't worry if you have your heart set on a particular DJ or wedding planner.

Pet-Friendly

As I've mentioned before, Springdale Station is one of the only Austin wedding venues that is pet-friendly. If you're hoping to have your sweet puppers to walk you down the aisle at the ceremony or bring the rings, you're in luck!

Make sure to reach out to the venue to check on their rules about this process to make sure everything is good to go on the wedding day.

Furniture Rentals

Near Downtown Austin's Vibrant Downtown District

And that's what your guests will love about your wedding at Springdale Station! But an added benefit to that is after your wedding, if you're looking to keep the party going, downtown Austin is a ride-share away.

Smooth Wedding Planning Process

Springdale Station is known for going out of its way to make the planning process smooth. From start to finish, the venue helps engaged couples make the entire process, from start to finish, as stress-free as possible.

From helping engaged couples with walk-throughs to offering a soft hold on your coveted date for a week, Springdale Station is dedicated to making it a lovely experience.

All of my clients have absolutely loved hosting their weddings here. One of the greatest parts is the ability to plan a ceremony in different parts of the event. Unlike some wedding venues, your ceremony can be inside or outside. Your ceremony can also be in either room, as well.

The Springdale Station wedding venue is 100% committed to providing as much cushioning for any unforeseen mishap as possible.

Built-In Rain Plan

With extra outdoor space and ample space inside, Springdale Station is perfect for your wedding day, rain or shine. It's one of the few wedding venues that can say that, especially in downtown Austin.

But in case it does rain, you have the overhang in the outdoor space to add a barrier to the weather or bring the festivities inside the venue.

Getting Ready Spots

Need to get ready at Springdale Station? Right next to the venue space is an airstream and a small cottage ready for clients to spiffy up before the ceremony. I will say, though, the only downside is that the small cottage is small.

So if you're looking for a getting-ready space to lounge in for a few hours or for your photographer, you might want to do a venue tour before deciding whether or not that's a good spot for you and your wedding party.
