Nestled in the picturesque Texas Hill Country overlooking Lake Buchanan, Rustic Sunset is a family-owned and operated event venue located just near Burnet, Texas. It is exquisitely versatile in its layout to accommodate any last minute change in the Texas weather with 1 outdoor chapel and 2 indoor spaces (stage or wall of windows) for the perfect ceremony. It offers an unmatched setting where elegance and rustic charm come together to create truly unforgettable experiences. Whether planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Rustic Sunset is the perfect backdrop for every occasion. Our 7,400 square foot climate-controlled main hall is the heart of the venue, featuring stunning wood vaulted ceilings, a spacious dance floor, and a large 20' x 30' stage perfect for indoor ceremonies, live bands, DJs, award ceremonies, and business conferences. The custom-built bar, complete with a sink, beer/soda cooler, and champagne/wine fridge, ensures your guests are always taken care of. With seating for 350+ and the option of 3 ceremony locations, bad weather or Texas heat is never a problem! Simply divide the room for an indoor ceremony (stage or wall of windows) with reception tables already set, then clear the ceremony chairs to reveal the dance floor. Step outside and discover our open-air chapel with bench seating, perfectly positioned to overlook Lake Buchanan and the rolling Texas Hill Country. It is a breathtaking setting for ceremonies, offering a natural beauty that no decoration could ever replicate. Come enjoy our 1,600 square foot covered terrace, invite guests to relax and soak in the stunning views as the sun dips below the horizon and paints the sky in the warm, golden hues of a true rustic sunset. We understand that every event is unique, which is why Rustic Sunset is designed to accommodate your vision. Our beautiful Bridal Suite offers a luxurious and private space to prepare for your big day, complete with a private entrance and pocket door access to the bathroom. The spacious Groom's Suite provides a comfortable and fun retreat, featuring a bar, foosball table, poker table, and its own private entrance. Our large caterer's kitchen, equipped with an ice maker and warming boxes, along with a covered carport for vendor drop off, makes logistics seamless for any event. Rustic Sunset offers flexible rental options to fit the needs of your event, giving you ample time to set up, celebrate, and close out your special day without feeling rushed. On-site parking, VIP parking for the wedding party, and a covered pull-through drop-off make the experience convenient for you and your guests. Outside vendors are warmly welcomed, and an area vendor list is available to help you find the perfect partners for your event. At Rustic Sunset, we believe that every celebration deserves a setting as special as the moment itself. Come experience the magic of the Hill Country, the sparkle of Lake Buchanan, and the warm glow of a beautiful sunset.

People Often Ask

Scheduling a tour is easy — just reach out to Phyllis Johanson directly: Call/Text: 512-715-2522 Email: phyllisjohanson@gmail.com ​​Tours are available Monday through Friday, 9 AM – 6 PM. If those times don't work for your schedule, just let us know! We're happy to work around your schedule as long as no event is booked at your requested time.
From intimate celebrations to grand affairs, our venue is designed to make every event feel special. With capacity for 350+ guests for seated dinners, dancing, and conference-style events, there's plenty of room for a large celebration — and our warm, inviting atmosphere ensures that smaller gatherings like birthdays, reunions, anniversaries, and showers feel just as memorable.
No need to worry! While our open-air chapel is perfect for sunny Texas days, we have two climate-controlled indoor layouts available to keep your event running smoothly. Divide the room for an indoor wedding ceremony (stage, or windows location) and pre-set tables for reception. We just remove the ceremony chairs and it’s the dance floor!
No, we do not provide any decorations, plateware, or items for your event. We also do not have an all inclusive package. We have a beautiful big building with an amazing view we rent to you and you fill it with the vendors of your choice. If you are interested in what is included with the rental, please check the Venue Pricing page on our website for further information.
While we provide a beautiful space for your celebration, event coordination falls outside of what we offer. We require having a planner or coordinator in place to keep everything running smoothly on your big day. Our venue manager will be on site and happy to help with anything building-related. Vendor relationships and event logistics will be in your or your coordinator's responsibility.
Booking your date is simple! Start by checking our calendar on our website to find your perfect date, then give us a call to schedule an appointment to review and sign your contract. A 50% deposit of the rental fee will be due at signing. Please keep in mind that your date is only secured once a contract has been signed and payment made — verbal discussions are not able to hold a date.
