OUTDOORS
Outdoor Tenting
Each of the four venues at Camp Lucy have different inclement weather plans. Additionally, Camp Lucy has six heaters available for rent at each venue. The cost per heater is $125 and there is no delivery fee.
Ian’s Chapel: Plenty of built in covered spaces for a rain-plan, including the Chapel, Pavilion, and Events Hall. The Great Lawn is perfect for tenting if you prefer that aesthetic, but it’s not necessary for most wedding sizes. At the Chapel, the standard set up is 140 seats (2 rows of 5 chairs between columns). You can fit up to 170 for a tight squeeze (3 rows of 5 chairs between columns). The Pavilion can seat up to 200 guests covered from the elements. Our calculator assumes you would rent a tent if accommodating 250 guests in a rain event.
Sacred Oaks: Both the Event Lawn and the Event Patio are setup for tenting if needed. We recommend hosting the ceremony inside in front of the bay-window, and then moving your guests to a tent on the patio or lawn. From there, the banquet team flips the inside space for your reception! This rain plan typically costs $3,500 for a tent on the patio.
The Vineyard: If you plan to host your wedding and reception at the vineyard, it is advised that you rent a tent for the ceremony area if the weather isn’t favorable. However, if you are hosting a smaller wedding (less than 60 guests) you can hold both the ceremony and the reception under the Savannah tent. If it were to rain, you would have to set up a tent at the ceremony ($1,000 to $3,500) along with adding walls to the main tent ($2,000).
Stedman Hall: Stedman Hall is ideal for rehearsal dinners or day-after-brunches for 45 guests. At this guest count, there is no need for rain-plan tents. It is possible to host up to 80 guests in a “come-and-go” brunch situation, where guests swing by for some coffee, juice, and breakfast before going home. If it were to rain in that situation, you would likely want to tent the patio for over-flow ($3,500).
Heating + Cooling
All indoor venues provide heating and cooling; however some couples may want to rent mushroom propane heaters or port-a-cooler fans for the outdoor areas, depending on their event layout.
Additionally, Camp Lucy has six heaters available for rent at each venue. The cost per heater is $125 and there is no delivery fee.
Estimate $200 per port-a-cooler.
Estimate $125 per propane mushroom heater.
Sound + Lighting
Each venue includes beautiful landscape lighting and high-tech sound systems. Our estimates assume you would rent a PA system for ceremony sound.
Estimate $750 for ceremony sound.
UTILITIES
Additional Power
Additional power is not needed at any Camp Lucy venue.
There is plenty of power for event lighting and a band.
Stage + Dance floor
Each venue at Camp Lucy includes flooring that’s ideal as a dancefloor.
If you hire a band, you may want to rent a stage from Whim Hospitality.
Estimate $1,500 for stage rental.
Restroom Facilities
All Camp Lucy venues includes more than enough restrooms for the recommended guest capacity.

Bussing
Many couples choose to bus their guests from nearby hotels and Air BNBs or from Downtown Austin. For larger weddings, we recommend renting the 56 passenger motorcoach as the most economical option overall. You can work with your planner to coordinate buses.
Bussing for 100 Guests $2,100
Bussing for 150 Guests $4,200
Bussing for 200 Guests $6,300
Bussing for 250 Guests $8,400
Valet
It’s unlikely to offer valet at this property, as there is always ample parking near the ceremony space. It makes more sense for guests who drive to simply walk from the parking space to the venue.
Parking
Venue has unlimited parking on property.
All parking lots are well lit at night.
