Shelter Co Comes to Austin TX // The Nouveau Romantics; Photo by The NicholsWe have to let you in on the most amazing secret: Shelter Co – the gorgeous [glamping to get alliteral] company from California – is “setting up camp” with an Austin + Texas outpost! As we find ourselves doing more and more weddings and events on ranches and private properties, we’re often faced with the dilemma of accommodations for the bridal party and guests. This news couldn’t be more perfectly timed!

While it takes a certain sense of adventure, these tents definitely beat a sleeping bag and air mattress. Outfitted with a double bed [or two], linens, and informal seating, the entire group is also attended to by a “butler” who ensures that all the guests and their belongings are safe and comfortable, keeps the fire going, and making sure the cooler of beer and other beverages never goes empty. Beyond tents, they also offer dining areas, informal seating, libraries, even washrooms, showers and probably anything else you might think of needing! In short: everything you could want for a full-service glamping experience.

We worked with Shelter Co for Heather and Tibaut’s wedding [the above three images are from their wedding], and their enthusiasm and professionalism was duly noted, from the start of our conversations down to the butler and crew packing everything up. We’re excited to work with them on many more events in the future.

Welcome to town Shelter Co – our Texas clients are going to love you!

Some venues have a wedding factory quality to them: efficient, predictable, interchangeable. Oceana’s Gardens is the opposite. Ten minutes outside downtown Boulder, this privately owned Mediterranean-style estate has been shaped by hand over more than two decades. It doesn’t feel like a venue. It feels like somewhere someone actually lives and loves. I’m Liz, the […]
