For those of you interested in staying overnight near the River House, Fredericksburg is just 30-45 minutes away. http://www.fredericksburg-texas.com/
Fredericksburg is well known as a predominately German town. Settled by Germans in 1846, the town still offers charm of that day, complete with beer gardens and quaint little cottages that serve as shops and B&Bs.
I first experienced F'burg while moving to Austin in July 2005. Jon and I drove through in the early morning just as the sun rose. It is beautiful. I've had the pleasure of taking a few trips since then, including a memorable one with my Mom. We rented a B&B and shopped until we'd (I) had enough.
One of the many highlights of F'burg is its many surrounding/famous wineries. Just south of the town on its main road you will pass half a dozen. Lon and I have discussed organizing a wine tour for the Friday afternoon before the wedding, we'll keep you posted on our plans. We are also looking into staying at one of our favorite wineries, Becker Vineyards on the night of and for a few days after. Becker is fantastic. The tasting room features an antique bar for tasting the delicious locally grown wine. The lead sommelier is a funny little Frenchman with a penchant for flirting with the ladies... http://www.beckervineyards.com/
We hope to find reasonable hotel accomodations close to the downtown area. I envision guests walking from the hotel to Main Street for dining and fun--cross your fingers I can make this happen. I've also heard of lodging just off Main Street with beautiful accomodations.
