The Union on Eighth

A one-of-a-kind wedding and event venue that blends historical character with modern day sophistication. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and millwork, industrial lighting and expansive windows with a unique blend of modern and rustic accents. The Union on Eighth is an urban, industrial wedding venue comfortably nestled on the outskirt of the historic Georgetown Square in Georgetown, Texas, just 20 minutes North of Austin.

Urban Weddings

Set just a block off the charming and vibrant Town Square, our clients can easily enjoy all there is in Georgetown. Restaurants, bars, shops and wineries, along with hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts are all within a few blocks reach. And when you are ready to retreat, The Union on Eighth is unique in the way it creates a private and intimate getaway for our clients. A lush courtyard garden offers views to Downtown. We have worked to create a hip venue that is the best of both worlds.

Wedding Venue & Event Space History

Step just inside the ever so popular turquoise front doors of The Union on Eighth and look down to your right. If you look close enough you will find a single penny set into the concrete floor. Date, 1929. It was then that, what would become one of Central Texas most sought after venues, was born. Not as a wedding venue of course, but as a blacksmith shop. Yet in its 90-year history many things have remained the same. The unique shape and industrial, metal finished exterior. The solid, hand hewn beams and historic shiplap that have covered the walls since its beginning. It’s a timeless look that can’t be duplicated.

Justin and Katy Bohls’ introduction to the wedding industry in Austin started when they took over a part of their family business and revamped the event rental business into Sweet Sunday Events. Sweet Sunday Event Rentals and Resources quickly grew to become one of Central Texas leading places for event rentals, floral designs and wedding planning. As a complete design firm, Katy and Justin were written up in local publications such as Austin Monthly and Tribeza magazines, as well as national write ups on Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, The Knot, and countless others.

But Katy and Justin always had their eyes set on something more...
