Hudson Bend Ranch

Hudson Bend Ranch is a wedding venue set on five private acres on the quiet outskirts of Austin, Texas, offering inclusive lodging and celebration spaces for a destination wedding weekend near Lake Travis. The ranch features nine dedicated spaces for rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, and dance parties, with on-site lodging for up to 24 overnight guests across four separate lodging options, and is pet-friendly with a large dog park on the property. Hudson Bend Ranch was founded in 1999 when Steven Ray purchased the five-acre property and opened it for events, vacation rentals, and weddings in 2015; it is now operated by his daughters, Emily and Becca. Located at 5102 Doss Road, Austin, Texas 78734, approximately 30 minutes from downtown Austin and a short drive from Lake Travis. Couples frequently highlight the flexibility to personalize their event, the ability to host family and friends on-site for the full weekend, the variety of ceremony locations, and the responsiveness of the staff, including when stepping in after another venue fell through.
