Minx and Muse is a charming yet affordable venue on West University, available for just $100 per hour. It would make a great space for small events or private garden parties.

First, check the venue’s capacity to ensure it fits your guest list, as some venues are designed for smaller gatherings, while others accommodate hundreds. Next, think about the amenities included—some venues provide outdoor seating, catering options, or lighting, which can impact your event’s overall cost and setup. Also, be mindful of Austin’s weather; booking a venue with shaded areas or indoor spaces in case of rain is smart. Finally, check how convenient it is to get to the venue, especially if your guests need parking spaces or public transportation options.
