THE FAMILY
Since purchasing this property in 2008, our family has shared this space with friends, family, and colleagues over the years seeing numerous weddings, retreats, reunions, dinner parties, and fishing trips along the Colorado. More and more couples asked us about hosting their weddings at Shiraz Garden from Austin, Houston, and beyond. What an honor to be considered as the backdrop to someone’s wedding day. We are excited to open as an official event space for private events to share the magic of this property and be part of these meaningful days.
THE NAME
The name Shiraz Garden is a tribute to the beautiful city of Shiraz where our father was born. Shiraz is a city known for its poetry, literature, gardens, and wine. We feel our space is a little piece of that beauty right here in Texas.

IN-HOUSE COORDINATOR
Brittani
Hi, I'm Brittani; I have been in the wedding industry for 14 years. I'm very passionate about planning weddings/events. I graduated from planning school in 2010 and haven't stopped! I started working at Shiraz in 2021 as an onsite manager, and after several years at Shiraz and as a planner, I became the lead In-House Coordinator. I've helped over 15 Shiraz couples celebrate their marriage as their IHC!
I love working at Shiraz; it's a beautiful and peaceful environment. I have been married to my husband for 11 years, and we have 2 sons and 2 fur babies. When I'm not coordinating, I love to bake and hang out with my family.
