Mae’s Ridge was built with a vision and intention
to offer a place where people could gather, feel at ease, and celebrate life’s most meaningful moments in a setting that feels both beautiful and genuine. Perched along a scenic ridge in the Texas Hill Country, this modern farmhouse wedding venue was thoughtfully designed to feel timeless, welcoming, and deeply personal from the moment you arrive.
Surrounded by wide-open skies and sweeping Hill Country views, Mae’s Ridge offers a seamless blend of elegant indoor spaces and breathtaking outdoor settings. As a sought-after wedding venue in Austin, Texas and Dripping Springs wedding venue, it provides the flexibility to host everything from intimate ceremonies to unforgettable wedding celebrations for up to 250 guests.
Conveniently located just outside Austin in the heart of Dripping Springs, Mae’s Ridge has quickly become one of the most trusted and top-rated Austin wedding venues and Texas Hill Country wedding venues. More than just a venue, Mae’s Ridge is a place where love stories begin, milestones are honored, and guests leave feeling truly connected.
Named after our Grandma Mae who loved all and welcomed everyone into her home and heart, we want to welcome you to Mae's Ridge. We know it will be an amazing day!
OUR TEAM
The Owners
The visionary behind Mae's Ridge, Joell and Rick Ebbert, have cultivated a deep expertise through building and renovating various homes in California, Colorado, and Austin. With over 20 years as a distinguished Interior Designer, and experience on the Property Brothers HGTV series, Joell possesses an instinctive eye for flawless execution. Their reputation as the ultimate hosts grew from their frequent, lively gatherings for over a hundred friends who sought a venue outside the home—the very catalyst for building Mae's Ridge. Driven by their belief that life centers on friends and family, the Ebberts have thoughtfully perfected every element to ensure your event is nothing short of fabulous.
“From the first time we came on site, Joell and Rick were friendly, accommodating and as down to Earth as they come.”
