Celebrating a holiday party with your work crew is a great opportunity to get gussied up, enjoy a delicious meal with your colleagues, and toast to the end of another great year. Since Austin is one of our favorite places to host a party, we’re sharing the best spots to deck the halls and toast to the new year. There’s a Japanese farmhouse-style restaurant in Hyde Park, a bold boutique hotel in SoCo, and a modern art museum that’ll have your team feeling inspired. Looking for a place where you can totally take over and set up a winter wonderland of your own in the heart of downtown ATX? We’ve got a few options for that too. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

Maybe it’s all the gorgeous swimming holes surrounded by hills and wildflowers. Maybe it's all the down-home southern hospitality. Or maybe it's because Austin has the perfect blend of music, food, style and 'weird.' Whatever the reason, this cool Texan town is one of the top wedding destinations in the south where you can celebrate you and yours with personality to boot.    Austin’s best wedding venues range from straight-up old Western rustic barns in the Hill Country to gorgeous gardens and cool boutique hotels in heart of downtown. Whether you're looking to host a wedding in a modern industrial space or wanting something with more a vintage feel, there’s something for just about everyone ‘round these parts.   Reporter: Alyssa Brown 

Going green can mean a multitude of things when it comes to talking about your wedding, a birthday, or maybe something as simple as an afternoon lunch with your girls. Maybe your wedding dress is made of natural materials, your birthday cake is made with 100% organic ingredients, and you had GMO-free spinach for lunch. Yes, going green can mean all of those things, but the green we’re referring to when talking about these magical days is the location. That’s right, you caught us! Greenhouse and glasshouse venues are full of all sorts of botanicals that you probably didn’t even know existed! Set yourself up to wed, party, or relax all while surrounded by a variety of plants, flowers, trees, gardens, cobblestone pathways, and ocean views! You know that scene in ‘The Sound Of Music’ where Julie Andrews sings, “The Hills Are Alive” and she’s spinning in front of the mountains with her arms wide open because everything is just so wonderful? Check out these 40 incredible greenhouse, glasshouse and conservatory event spaces, we have a feeling you may soon be spinning in joy too.  Written By Jordan Willner
