“Merryvale is an absolutely GORGEOUS outdoor wedding venue! From the twinkle lights, large trees, rolling hills, deep sunsets and dancing under the stars- you can't beat this venue! I fell in love with this venue the first time I toured! However the owner was somewhat distracted the few months leading up to my wedding. She became a grandmother the week of my wedding, so some of this is excusable. The day of though, she was treating ant beads and spraying away wasp nests. This probably should of been taken care of before hand. Thankfully I am a patient and a somewhat chill bride. This probably would have stressed any other bride day of. I recommend that the owner hires a venue manager so that these tasks are off her plate. This beautiful venue deserves the attention of a full time manager. I'm so glad I had a top notch wedding coordinator to keep everything moving and organized. Everything went WONDERFUL by the way! If you choose this beautiful venue hire an outside coordinator and all will be fine.”
“Im not sure if this space is still open. I’ve tried contacting the phone but receive no response. The last few reviews are from at least two years ago. It’s a shame, seems like such a cool space.”
“I don't know man. Maybe it's the vibe of old school cantina or hanging out with fellow vets that keep me coming back. Or perhaps it's having some of the coldest beer I've ever had. Hell, i dodnt know i loved Lone Star Light that much until i started drinking it here. Funny thing, i dont drink Lone Star Light anywhere else - why? The many places I've tried can never get it as cold as here and it never tastes the same.
The place is no frills and there's an assortment of chips for purchase. You can bring in food if you'd like. Sometimes, on weekends, especially during football season, one of the patrons may bring in eats to share during the games.
With or without food, this low key, diver VFW is king.”
“We truly could not recommend Hummingbird House and Kelsey our coordinator enough! The venue is absolutely beautiful and genuinely feels like you’ve been transported somewhere completely outside of Austin. The gardens are so lush and incredibly well maintained, and the newly updated tented reception space is STUNNING. Everything came together even more beautifully than we imagined.
Danny, the owner, was wonderful and so helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process.
Kelsey was also absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had multiple meetings leading up to the wedding where she helped us work through all the details and took so much stress off our plates. On the wedding day, she was there working from early in the day until well after the wedding ended, making sure everything was organized, seamless, and running smoothly behind the scenes.
Beyond being so organized and on top of everything, Kelsey and her second Taylor were also such a calming presence. They were so genuinely so kind, friendly, and reassuring throughout the entire process and made us feel completely taken care of. Your coordinator has such a huge impact on your experience of the wedding day, and we truly could not have asked for anyone better.
Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be, and Hummingbird House and Kelsey were such a huge part of making that happen. We are so grateful and would recommend them over and over again!”
