Location & Reservations

  • Prima Vista is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country at 601 Sandy Point Road, Wimberley, TX 78676. Our venue is a premier destination for couples looking for a Wimberley wedding venue that is a convenient drive from Austin, San Antonio, San Marcos, and Dripping Springs.

  • Our venue can comfortably host up to 200 guests. To accommodate everyone, we have plenty of space for up to 75 cars in our well-lit parking area. In addition, we provide five paved and marked handicapped parking spaces for the convenience of your guests.

  • To reserve your date, we simply ask for 50% of your total fee when you sign your agreement. This non-refundable payment locks in your event date. You are welcome to pay the remaining 50% in up to six equal monthly installments, as long as your balance is fully paid at least 30 days before your event.

  • No. When you book with us, you have exclusive use of the property for your entire 12-hour rental term. We only host one wedding per day to ensure your celebration is private and focused entirely on you.

  • We do not require a cash damage deposit upfront. Instead, we simply require a Credit Card Authorization Form to be kept on file as security against any potential damage or loss during your event. We accept payments via cash, check, ACH, or credit card (note that credit card payments are subject to a 3% convenience charge).

  • Absolutely! Tours are available by appointment only. You can schedule your tour through our contact page.

  • Yes. Our outdoor ceremony pavilion, indoor reception hall, and all restrooms are fully ADA-compliant and handicapped accessible. We want to ensure that all your loved ones can celebrate comfortably and safely on your wedding day.

  • Yes! As a major Texas Hill Country tourist hotspot, Wimberley offers literally hundreds of lodging options. From cozy boutique B&Bs to larger vacation rentals and hotels, your guests will have plenty of wonderful places to stay near the venue.

Catering & Entertainment

  • Yes! Our Wimberley reception hall is designed with a spacious layout that easily accommodates buffet-style service, plated dinners, or family-style meals for up to 200 guests. We provide a dedicated catering prep area to ensure your catering team has exactly what they need for a professional service.

  • You bet! Prima Vista is a BYOB wedding venue, which our couples love because it is a significant cost-saver for your budget. You are welcome to bring in your own alcohol, provided it is served by a TABC-certified bartender through our required bartending partner.

  • Your chosen caterer must be a licensed professional and provide a full-service team. They are responsible for the setup, service, and complete cleanup of the kitchen and guest tables. For your guests' safety, once the ceremony has started, all food and beverages must be served by your professional catering and bartending staff.

  • Yes! One of our most popular and stress-free features is that we include a professional DJ in all our venue rental packages. This means your music and entertainment are already taken care of as soon as you book your wedding date at Prima Vista.

  • No, we do not have a built-in house sound system. However, since a professional DJ is included with every booking, they will provide all the high-quality sound and music equipment needed for both your outdoor ceremony pavilion and your indoor reception hall.

  • Yes! As part of your wedding venue package, we provide both round and straight (rectangular) tables, as well as chairs for your event. We will even handle the initial setup of the reception area based on your final headcount to ensure your wedding day starts smoothly.

Rain Plan, Kids & Pets

  • Prima Vista has a built-in “Plan B”. Our covered pavilion can be utilized for your outdoor wedding ceremony. You still get the beautiful feeling of an outdoor ceremony without getting wet, (and without needing to spend $2,000–$4,000 on a tent). Alternatively, you may choose to have your ceremony indoors in front of our reception hall fireplace, with your guests seated comfortably at their tables.

  • We love dogs and welcome them to Prima Vista! We simply ask that they remain on a leash and are handled by someone other than the couple. Your designated dog handler is responsible for cleaning up after your pet, and only service animals are allowed inside the hall or near food service areas at any time.

  • Yes! We understand that children are an important part of your family and friends. For their safety, children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times due to our elevated deck, fire pit, wildlife, and other natural hazards.

  • We provide 60” round tables that comfortably seat up to 8 guests, as well as 8’ rectangular (straight) tables which also seat 8. We will arrange your reception area based on your final headcount to ensure a spacious and comfortable layout for everyone.

Decor, Guidelines & Cleanup

  • You have exclusive access to the property for a 12-hour rental period. All decorating, setup, and vendor arrivals must take place within this timeframe to ensure everything is perfect for your ceremony start.

  • Yes! We love the ambiance of candlelight. We allow real candles, provided the flame is contained within a holder that is taller than the height of the flame (no exposed flames). This ensures your decor is both beautiful and safe for your guests.

  • You are welcome to have sparklers for your grand exit on our paved areas only. However, to protect our natural Hill Country surroundings from fire hazards, other types of fireworks are not permitted on the property.

  • To maintain the integrity of our modern hall, we do not allow items to be attached to the walls or ceiling. A fantastic way to enhance the space is with uplighting provided by your DJ, which adds a stunning customized look to the reception area!

  • We want you to enjoy every moment! You are only responsible for removing your personal items from the couple’s quarters and reception hall. Your caterer and bartending staff will handle the cleanup of the kitchen and bar area, and our professional team will take care of everything else.

  • To ensure the venue is ready and private for every couple, all rental items must be dropped off and picked up within your 12-hour rental window.

Planning & Logistics

  • Yes! Prima Vista features two separate, private climate-controlled dressing suites (Couple's Quarters), designed so both parties can prepare for the day in complete comfort and privacy.

  • While you are always welcome to bring in your own professional wedding planner or coordinator, you don’t need one at Prima Vista. We do so much to support our couples on the wedding day that many feel a separate coordinator isn't necessary for a smooth and beautiful event!

  • Your final guest headcount is due three weeks prior to your wedding date.

  • For Spring, Summer, and Fall, we recommend a start time of 5:30–6:00 PM (Friday/Saturday) or 4:30–5:00 PM (Sunday). In the Winter, we suggest starting one hour earlier for the best sunset photos.

  • Guests may arrive up to 30 minutes prior to your ceremony start time.

  • Yes! You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks into the couple’s quarters prior to the ceremony.

  • Music must conclude 15 minutes before your guests' scheduled departure.

  • We do not require security, but we can provide you with contact information for the Hays County Sheriff’s Department if you wish to arrange it.
