The region's best wedding venues and vendors were on display, capped off by a mock wedding reception in Henkel Square.
The second annual I Do Round Top event put on by the Round Top Area Chamber of Commerce highlighted the region’s best wedding venues and wedding service providers with self-guided venue tours, a vendor expo, and the grand finale: a mock wedding reception in Henkel Square complete with live music, food, drinks, sweets and an Elvis impersonator.
Prospective brides, engaged couples, veteran marrieds and singles who love wedding cake and champagne gathered on a sunny summer weekend in Round Top to celebrate love and peruse the local matrimonial offerings. It all culminated with Nobody’s Wedding Reception featuring live music by Satellite, scrumptious buffet offerings from Merritt Meat Co. and Royers Café, beer, wine and cocktails from Ellis Motel, and sweet treats from Royers and Local Roots.

A map listing the locations of local event venues was provided for tours, while a vendor exposition at Market Hill showcased photographers, caterers, florists and more. As host of the thrice annual Round Top Antiques + Design Show, which includes a smattering of dinner events, fashion shows and live performances, Round Top has built-in resources for putting on a show, and has evolved to become a unique Texas wedding destination. It’s the perfect mix of a quiet country respite with shopping and dining options on par with any big city.
Just a few of the vendors on hand at the Market Hill expo and Henkel Square for I Do Round Top included Houston Photo Booth Co., planning and design firm Two Be Wed, Swift Events, Little Coeterie Shop, Maxit Flower Design and Provision Events Texas. Other local businesses joined in the fun with special wedding themed displays and offerings including custom bridal boots and wedding guest attire.
