A great wedding is a delicious wedding. Dripping Springs is home to a host of incredible caterers who specialize in everything from authentic Texas BBQ to farm-to-table gourmet cuisine, ensuring your guests leave happy and full.

Third Stop: The Soundtrack, Setting the Vibe

The music sets the mood for your entire day, from a gentle serenade as you walk down the aisle to a packed dance floor late into the night. Dripping Springs has a vibrant community of musicians and DJs to fit any style.

• Live Bands: Bands like the Austin Nines or Uptown Drive bring incredible energy and a full sound that gets everyone on their feet. For a more laid-back, romantic vibe, acoustic duos or string quartets are a beautiful choice for the ceremony and cocktail hour.

• DJs: A great DJ is a master of the dance floor. Companies like Premier Entertainment or Toast Entertainment have experienced DJs who can read the crowd and curate a perfect playlist to keep the party going all night long. For a high-energy and personalized experience, consider DJ A.K., who is known for his ability to mix a wide range of genres and create a seamless, unforgettable party atmosphere.

Fourth Stop: The Grand Exit, Covered by I Drive Y'all Ride

The perfect wedding ends with a stress-free and joyful departure. With the Hill Country’s beautiful but winding roads, ensuring your guests get home safely is a top priority. This is where seamless transportation becomes a game-changer, allowing everyone to celebrate to the fullest without a single worry.

• Guest Shuttles: After a night of dancing and toasting, your guests will be beyond grateful for a comfortable ride back to their hotels. Shuttle services are a must for Dripping Springs weddings. They not only ensure everyone's safety but also save them from navigating unfamiliar roads in the dark, which can be a huge relief for anyone coming from out of town.

  • Tip for Brides: Coordinate with your shuttle service to create a staggered schedule of pickups. A shuttle at 9:30 PM for guests with little ones, and a final one at 11:30 PM for the ultimate party-goers, ensures everyone's needs are met.

• Specialty Vehicles: Don't forget your grand exit! While guest shuttles handle the crowd, a special getaway car for you and your new spouse is the perfect finishing touch. Imagine a classic car or a luxury sedan waiting to whisk you away to your happily ever after.
