What a Hotel Buyout Really Means
When you choose a hotel buyout at Hillside, the entire property is reserved exclusively for you and your guests.
​
With only 38 rooms, the experience feels intimate by design. Every guest on property is there for your wedding. There are no shared spaces, no overlapping events, and no outside distractions. From the moment guests arrive to the final farewell, the weekend feels cohesive and intentional.
​
At Hillside Boutique Hotel in Castroville, a full property buyout transforms the space into something deeply personal. The hotel becomes your private estate for the weekend, designed around your celebration from start to finish.
Designed for Couples
Who Value Customization
Hillside offers customizable indoor and outdoor event spaces that adapt to your vision rather than limiting it. The arbor and terrace serve as a breathtaking focal point for ceremonies and receptions, while interior spaces allow for layered experiences throughout the weekend.
Every event can feel distinct. A relaxed welcome gathering. A refined ceremony. An elegant reception. A casual farewell brunch. Nothing feels rushed or templated.
Personalized Service That Goes Beyond Expectations
Luxury is not just about the setting. It is about how you and your guests are treated.
​
At Hillside, the staff understands that a wedding weekend is not a single event. It is a series of moments. The team is known for being attentive, flexible, and genuinely invested in the guest experience. From custom requests to thoughtful details for guest stays, service is approached with care and intention.
​
This is the kind of place where preferences are remembered, adjustments are made seamlessly, and couples feel supported rather than managed.
A Culinary Experience That Matches the Occasion
A full buyout also allows couples the option to reserve the on site restaurant for their wedding events.
​
La Colline offers an elevated dining experience that feels warm, refined, and perfectly suited for intimate celebrations. From rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions to farewell brunches, the culinary experience becomes part of the story.
​
Having dining, cocktails, and service handled on property allows the weekend to flow naturally and keeps guests immersed in the experience without transportation or scheduling stress.
A Wedding Weekend That Feels Like a Private Retreat
With on site accommodations, a pool, scenic views, and gathering spaces throughout the property, Hillside becomes more than a venue. It becomes a shared retreat for your closest friends and family.
​
Guests arrive together, settle in, and stay present throughout the weekend. Mornings are spent over coffee and views. Afternoons unfold organically. Evenings feel connected rather than fragmented.
A luxury hotel buyout wedding at Hillside is not for everyone. It is for couples who value privacy over scale, experience over spectacle, and personalization over predictability.
​
With a limited number of rooms, a highly attentive team, and the ability to customize every part of the weekend, Hillside offers something rare in the Hill Country wedding landscape.
Luxury Boutique Hotel Room
A full hotel buyout at Hillside means every guest room becomes part of your celebration. With 38 boutique accommodations overlooking the Medina River Valley, your closest family and friends are invited to settle in and stay present for the entire weekend.
​
From placing personalized welcome gifts or party favors in each room before arrival to preparing your parents’ suite with a bottle of Dom Pérignon and a charcuterie board curated to their favorites, every detail can be thoughtfully arranged.
The bride and groom retreat to the luxury suite, a private and beautifully appointed space designed for quiet moments before the ceremony and a serene close to an unforgettable evening.
