Cakewalk’s Austin Packages: What’s Included (2025)
We started Cakewalk because we wanted getting married to feel more like… living. Less email threads, more champagne. Less spreadsheet, more skyline. And in Austin — with its laid-back vibe, sunshine, and unbeatable natural backdrops — that philosophy really thrives.
If you’re considering a Cakewalk wedding in Austin, here’s what’s included in our packages for 2025, how it works, and what makes us different from anything else out there.
🎯 First, What Even Is Cakewalk?
Cakewalk is a ceremony-first wedding company. That means we don’t do receptions, banquets, or dance floors — we focus exclusively on helping couples have small, meaningful, stylish wedding ceremonies in beautiful public spaces.
We handle the planning, paperwork, photography, and coordination so you don’t have to. You show up, get married, and go celebrate however you want.
💛 What’s Included in a Cakewalk Austin Wedding Package (2025)
Our Austin packages are built for simplicity and style. Each one includes:
✔ A Licensed Officiant
One of our trained, experienced officiants leads your ceremony and acts as your on-site coordinator. We’ll personalize your vows and ensure the day flows smoothly.
✔ A Professional Photographer
You’ll get one hour of photo coverage with a local Austin photographer who knows how to shoot real-life moments — not stiff poses or cookie-cutter shots. Think: wildflowers, windblown hair, skyline in the background.
We deliver a full gallery of edited images after the wedding, yours to keep, print, and post.
✔ Ceremony Planning + Location Selection
We help you pick the perfect outdoor or semi-public location that fits your vibe — whether that’s Barton Springs, Zilker, South Congress, or something a little unexpected. We also provide weather backups and walk you through permit needs (if any).
✔ Legal Paperwork Filing
We’ll make sure your license is signed, sealed, and delivered. Literally. You don’t need to wait in line or guess if it went through — we take care of filing it with the clerk after the ceremony.
✔ Timeline + Run of Show
We build a detailed run of show so everyone knows where to be and when. It’s a one-hour event — but it runs like a dream.
✔ Access to Our Planning Portal
Once you book, you’ll get access to a private planning form to help us understand your vision, preferences, and travel logistics. This is how we keep it personalized without overcomplicating things.
🧁 What’s Not Included?
Reception space or dinner
Hair, makeup, or florals (though we’re happy to share recommendations)
Large-scale logistics like transportation or hotels
Big group management (we cap things at 20 guests — max)
We’re not for everyone — but we’re perfect for people who want to skip the wedding industrial complex and just… get married, beautifully.
💰 2025 Pricing
Our base pricing in Austin for 2025 starts at:
$3,000 + tax for weekday weddings (Mon–Thurs)
$3,500 + tax for weekend weddings (Fri–Sun)
This includes everything listed above for up to 20 guests. There are additional fees for private venues or locations far outside the central Austin area — we’ll talk it through before booking.
🌇 Why Austin?
Because it’s chill, stunning, and full of personality. Whether you live here or are coming in from out of town, Austin makes it easy to have a wedding that feels fun, unfussy, and completely yours.
Think: jumping in Barton Springs after your vows. Riding Lime scooters in your wedding clothes. Eating brisket in a white dress. That’s the energy we’re bringing to the table.
