A wedding does not need to look like every wedding that came before it. 108 Blue Star is a wedding venue in San Antonio built differently — an arts venue in Southtown where the room changes around the people, traditions and ideas that matter to you.
Industrial concrete floors, 20-foot ceilings and an open main hall create the backdrop; what happens inside it is yours to shape. Wedding experiences start at $6,500, and we host a maximum of eight weddings each calendar year.

The room

A flexible wedding venue in San Antonio that doesn't decide for you

Some venues begin with a formula: the ceremony goes here, dinner goes there, and the same package is repeated every weekend. 108 Blue Star begins with the room. The main hall is intentionally flexible, letting each couple and planning team decide how the celebration should move through the space.

Depending on guest count and design, the room supports seated dining, ceremony seating, dancing and entertainment without forcing the wedding into a predetermined layout. That suits celebrations which blend traditions, change format through the evening, or simply need room for an idea that does not fit inside a ballroom package.

The main hall is approximately 63 by 59 feet with 20-foot ceilings, industrial concrete floors and two chandeliers. Tables and chairs are not included, which gives planners freedom to choose furnishings that fit the design rather than work around fixed venue inventory. For larger production elements there is an oversized load-in opening roughly 17 feet wide by 15 feet high.
Only eight weddings a year. 108 Blue Star is not built around a high-volume wedding calendar. That limit keeps the venue a working arts space first, and gives each wedding room to feel like its own event rather than the next booking in a weekly rotation. Dates may be reserved up to 18 months in advance, and prime dates are expected to be limited.

An open vendor policy. Your wedding should not be built around a required vendor list. Couples can bring the planner, caterer, photographer, florist, entertainment and creative team that best fit the event, subject to venue, licensing, insurance and safety requirements. If you would rather start from a recommendation, we can point you to partners who already know the space.

In Southtown. 108 Blue Star sits inside the Blue Star Arts Complex in Southtown, one of San Antonio's most recognizable arts and cultural districts. Guests can explore nearby restaurants, bars and galleries before and after the celebration, and couples often use the neighborhood for welcome drinks, rehearsal dinners and brunches. Parking varies by date, particularly on First Friday; valet using a nearby lot for roughly 40 cars may be available and must be arranged in advance.
