Say No To Technology: The Benefits of Unplugging

Now more than ever, the millennial generation is losing the meaning of the word “vacation.” It actually means to remove yourself, to vacate your life and immerse yourself in a new experience. With outlets such as Instagram and Snapchat, there is an almost unhealthy need to document each moment. When wrapped up in technology, there is no room for presence. Instead of looking at a sunset through a camera lens, how about just looking at the sunset?

At Willow Point Resort, our sights and activities will keep you and your family focused on each other and the experience itself! We are also a great romantic destination for couples that want to be able to enjoy the fun of just being together. Whatever your situation, Willow Point Resort is a great place to start!

Planning the Perfect Fall Wedding by the Lake

An Autumn Affair

With the crisp fall air and the beautiful background of shimmering red and golden leaves make it a great season to have an outdoor wedding. To ensure that the wedding goes off without a hitch, there are a few precautions you must take beforehand.
Since the air can hold a bit of a chill in the fall, order outdoor heaters to combat any cold that will leave you or your guest uncomfortable.
Rather than spend all evening at the mercy of the chill, opt for having your ceremony outdoors and move the reception indoors. You get the best of both worlds this way, the stunning outdoors with the ability to head inside for warmth.
Use the season for inspiration. If you cannot settle on a color scheme for the wedding, then look to the changing leaves. Reds, yellows, and gold hues can be fantastic choices for the wedding.

Hill Country Wedding

Make your wedding even more memorable by conducting your ceremony next to a stunning lake. At Willow Point Resort, we provide a space to hold your wedding ceremony that overlooks the lake. Then head on indoors for your reception. For additional information about our venues, contact us at (512)793-5000.
