First, the food is absolutely superb. Second, the service is impeccable. The staff is friendly and polite; they go the extra mile to ensure the best possible experience for you. Third, it's beautiful, quiet, and private: perfect for romance. If you are looking for noise, action, and hustle-bustle; you are better off somewhere else. The pace of Green Pastures is wonderfully relaxing for patrons. We selected Green Pastures after visiting nearly 20 different wedding venues and meeting 40+ coordinators of other venues. What first attracted us was the friendly staff and management. What kept us going back for other occasions was the absolutely fabulous food. As for our wedding, it was an absolute delight to work with Tanya, the special events coordinator. After meeting MANY "coordinators" at different venues in Austin, I can honestly say that she is the best coordinator in the area. Tanya has the perfect mix of energy, poise, experience, and cheer. She was always put together, prompt, and on top of things. She worked very hard to bring our vision to fruition. And if you can imagine such a thing... she took care of so much that I, as the bride, actually felt RELAXED on my wedding day! For our reception banquet, the lunch buffet we selected consisted of sesame salmon and peppercorn flatiron steak amongst other dishes. Our guests loved it! On more than one occasion, several guests told me that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. (We would have to agree.) Charles, the head chef, is awesome. It's evident that he loves making good food. Our cake was amazing, none of that dry chalky stuff. Instead, both the bride's and groom's cakes were perfectly moist; the consistency of which inspired more than a few moans of delight. By the way, half the fun is the cake sampling... mmm yummy... :-D If you are getting married in Austin, I would highly recommend considering this most worthy of landmarks.

Pros: Great food. Impeccable service. Beautiful location.

Cons: Peacocks can get noisy in the evenings.
