Practical wedding checklist and logistics
Before you sign a contract, confirm the ceremony/reception spaces (and indoor backup), guest capacity for your chosen layout, dates and final guest guarantees, and whether food and beverage minimums apply.
Also check block room rates, parking and transportation options for guests, noise/curfew rules, pet rules if you plan to include a dog, and any resort fees that affect your room rate.
- Confirm venue capacity for your exact seating plan (banquet vs theater vs cocktail).
- Ask for current banquet menus, bar packages, and staffing/fee details (breakdown of corkage, cake-cutting, etc.).
- Reserve a room block using exact room names (e.g., Room, Patio; Suite (Lost Pines)) and get cutoff dates.
- Arrange spa appointments and hair/makeup timing for the wedding party; Lost Pines Spa hours are typically 9:00 AM–6:00 PM.
- Clarify parking (self and valet) and whether shuttle or group transportation is needed — the resort is 13–17 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
- If pets will attend, check the resort's dog policy (designated dog rooms, advance notice required, pet fees apply, and pets are not permitted in pools, spa, golf course, or restaurants).
