Frequently Asked Questions
The general rule is 12-18 months in advance to secure the space and date you want. However, our venues are booked according to availability, so if a venue is open, any party can reserve it. We recommend you book your event space well in advance. We do not save dates without a deposit and a signed contract.

We would be honored to be the backdrop for your engagement or bridal photos. We ask that you schedule your photoshoot with Texas Old Town for Monday through Thursday, so your shoot does not conflict with any events. Please confirm availability five days prior to your photoshoot.
Of course! This is your special event. However, we do have some limitations: paper confetti, glitter, unprotected candles, silk flower petals, and sand are strictly prohibited. Hay and birdseed are permitted outdoors but not indoors. We ask that you respect the walls and furniture and abstain from the use of nails, screws, or staples. You are welcome to use candles that have at least one inch of side glass coverage above the flame.
If the venue is still available 90 days prior to your event, you have the option to pay $750 to book the space for your rehearsal dinner and decorate early.
Birdseed, organic flower petals, wedding wands, bubbles, and sparklers are permissible options. If using sparklers, you are required to inform us ahead of time so that we can safely dispose of them. Paper confetti, rice, and silk flower petals are prohibited.
Fireworks are not permitted due to safety risks.
Yes. However, cash bars are not permitted. We only allow an open bar set-up (meaning alcohol will be free of charge to your guests). Texas Old Town requires that you contract Texas Ritas, an independently contracted TABC bartending firm, to serve the alcohol. All alcohol at open-bar events must be served by the Texas Ritas bartender. BYOB is not permitted at Texas Old Town.
