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.

The Story Behind The Union on Eighth

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...
