The Faust Hotel {New Braunfels wedding photographer}

You really can't talk about weddings in New Braunfels without talking about the Faust Hotel. The historic hotel has been the premier wedding venue in town for the better part of a century, and has earned National Historic Landmark status.

Originally opened in 1929, the Faust has been painstakingly restored to its elegant, 1930s style with modern amenities (including Wi-Fi in every room). There's even a popular brewpub there, with an ever-changing roster of microbrews on tap. During World War II, the Faust earned its long-lasting reputation as the "honeymoon capitol of Texas." In the days before interstate highways, New Braunfels was a popular destination and the Faust one of the top luxury hotels in the state. It didn't hurt that a bus station was located just a block away, and soldiers from the area's many military bases would take advantage of the Faust to marry their girlfriends and honeymoon locally before shipping out.

Walking through the Faust's front door is like stepping back in time. The lobby and guest rooms are furnished in 1930s vintage antique. Even the register at the checkout desk is a marvelous brass museum piece. Douglas, the events manager, is dedicated to maintaining the Faust Hotel's status as one of the top wedding venues in the area. The Faust's Grand Ballroom is perfectly suited for moderately sized receptions, and the Faust's wedding packages include the dining menu and wait staff to the dance floor and decorations. They even offer special rates for weekday events, for those wedding parties on a budget. Conveniently, the Faust also has a strong working relationship with select florists, DJs and even photographers (hint hint!) in New Braunfels to provide comprehensive wedding services to the happy bride and groom.

There's a reason why thousands of couples have started their lives together at the Faust Hotel, and one visit is all it takes to understand why. Take a trip back to an era of vintage 1930s elegance by booking your wedding or reception at the Faust Hotel today. Of course, you'll want to book Lisa On Location just as soon as a date is set, because her calendar if nearly full for the fall wedding season, and you wouldn't want to settle for anything less than exceptional wedding photography!
