Venue Features
The scene:
Camp Lucy is nestled on a gorgeous Hill Country ranch in Dripping Springs, Texas. The property, owned by Whit Hanks, is named for his mother, Lucy Hanks, and its history as an idyllic family getaway. The unique property has received widespread acclaim for its wedding and special events venues which include an 1880s French Colonial Catholic church imported - piece by piece - from Vietnam, as well as a 1930s French Colonial church reconstructed at Camp Lucy and roofed with 1920s Ludowici tile repurposed from the Bexar County Courthouse in downtown San Antonio. A magnificent events hall was created from a repurposed Amish barn originally built from hand-hewn white oak timbers in the 1800s. A second venue on the property is designed around a majestic grove of ancient live oaks which includes, what the county\'s historical commission has deemed, the biggest live oak tree in the county. Camp Lucy also offers on-site accommodations that combine the sophisticated style and warm hospitality of the Hill Country with world-class luxuries and modern amenities. The cottages at Camp Lucy offer a truly unique Texas experience. Beyond the cottages and venues, much of Camp Lucy is under wildlife management to protect and foster native Texas wildlife. Here, songbirds nest, white-tailed deer roam, and wildflowers and grasses bloom and grow.
Extra perks:
Included in your Camp Lucy rental fee is engagement photo session time, plus 10- 60" round tables, 10- 8' rectangle tables, and 100- fruitwood folding chairs. Have other ideas for your wedding? In lieu of the previous, enjoy a Whim Event Rentals voucher for $500 off rentals.

The Most Gorgeous Wedding Venues in the Texas Hill Country
Texas Hill Country can be a place where you seek out seasonal creeks and swimming holes, or a place where you escape to sit in the stillness of vast golden landscapes filled with prairie grasses and giant oak trees. Whatever setting it is you’re after, there’s likely a wedding venue tucked somewhere in the mix. There’s a century-old pharmacy that sets an ideal backdrop for a vintage-style wedding. There’s a cypress tree lined creek with something akin to a summer camp set just beside it. There’s an imported French Colonial chapel in the hills. There’s even a yacht club in Hill Country. You name it, we’ve found it. And today, we’re sharing our favorite finds of the area. Reporter: Alyssa Brown
