Bakery
This is the place with the ah-mazing lemon squares! I would trust anything baked by them - sooo good, and they are wonderful for wedding dessert bars.
Sweet Lemon Kitchen
A Georgetown favorite for cakes - always delicious!
Cakes by Kathy
One of our local faves for delicious desserts with an extra personalized touch + YUM!
Sugar Mommy’s
Caterer
I'm e-mailing some supplemental info for this (including 10% off!). They're already doing your bartending, so it would be very convenient to package these services. Plus their food is always on point! And they have some great plated food options. Pla...
Sterling Events Austin | Full-service catering and event space ...
Another favorite among our team! They offer buffet, plated & homestyle options. Their mac & cheese is my personal favorite, but any of their menu items are great!
Courtney's Catering
If you decide to chat with them about dessert options, it may be worth a look into their catering as well. Their from-scratch menu options are wonderful! If they do not offer full-service catering, you can always hire your serving staff through Sterl...
Sweet Lemon Kitchen
Another team favorite that never disappoints!

DJ
After hearing your thoughts on DJ, Michael Bond came to mind. He and I just had a wedding together at HighPointe on 10/24. He is great at getting people moving & having fun without all of the extra noise & flashing lights.
The Premier Entertainment Group
I haven't worked with Nick, but I have heard great things about him from our owner! He's super on top of it, reads his timeline and is a great emcee.

Courtney is awesome and a great person to get a quote from if you want to compare with Dawson.

Food Trucks
Food trucks have been done at HighPointe - you'll just need to ensure to hire a food service company if they don't offer full-service in order to meet the requirements of the venue (see serving staff section). Here are some options I'd recommend if y...
If you're down for burgers & fries, they do a great food truck. I've seen them used for dinner or just as a late night bite for guests. They do offer chicken & veggie burgers as well.
P. Terry's Burger Stand: Texas' all-natural, affordable burger ...
Who doesn't love waffles?! This could be a fun breakfast for dinner option, or in lieu of cake slices perhaps.
WAFFLE LOVE
They actually just did a wedding at HighPointe. I have not personally worked with them, but Michele at HPE gave raving reviews! They also do full-service catering, so maybe they could provide staff as well. Or you could even do apps or a late night b...
The Peached Tortilla
Hair & Makeup
Livia and her team use high quality products, and everyone I've met has been so sweet. She has a good group to choose from for your larger wedding party too.
Livia Pope
This team is based out of Cedar Park. I have not worked with them personally, but they are part of our preferred vendor list as well. They have plenty of hair & makeup ladies to get your wedding party ready in a timely manner!
Bridal Beauty Austin
Musicians
I know you said you were thinking of having a mariachi band for cocktail hour. Here is an award-winning group based out of Austin. They have a lot of experience with performing at weddings & other celebrations.
Mariachi Relampago
Acoustic guitar option for your ceremony/cocktail hour. He is an excellent singer and guitar player, very professional and easy to work with. Plus he has a package to transition to DJ for the reception!
Josh Klaus Music
Acoustic guitar or full band option for ceremony & cocktail hour (Phil Luna & the Lunatics)

Photography
I love Angie's photography style, and she is so wonderful to work with. We did a wedding last November in Georgetown, and the photos turned out beautifully! She's great at capturing unique moments throughout the day.
Angela King Photography
Dave is always a pleasure to work with. He's very easy-going and does his best to capture all of your most important moments. I've worked with him at a few weddings, plus I know he's worked at least one wedding at HighPointe already.
DCM Photography
We worked together for a wedding last year, and there were some incredible eye-catching photos. Very flexible & helped direct a very LARGE wedding party & family - accomplished a lot in the little time we had to do so!

Serving Staff
This one is from our own preferred vendors list. They have a lot of other services they offer as well if you still need to find anything.
Austin's Elite Events
Obviously they do a ton of work at HighPointe for bartending. They also have staff for serving/bussing.
Sterling Events Austin
HighPoint also recommends them for bar, so you could have both services through one company.
