Whether you’re searching for the finest in engagement rings or selecting luxury items for your wedding registry, The Menagerie provides impeccable service and high-end, hand-picked pieces that your family will treasure for generations to come.

The Menagerie, based in Austin, Texas, prides itself on offering wedding gifts for a discerning clientele. The store carries the finest luxury brands in tabletop and gifts, including William Yeoward Crystal, Baccarat Crystal, Herend China, Royal Crown Derby china, and Waterford Crystal. With a focus on providing exceptional personal service, every couple is met with special care in choosing the perfect gifts for their registry.

Founder and Owner Vicky Roan explains “It’s ALL about the experience when registering at The Menagerie. First things first and that means sipping champagne while we begin talking about lifestyle and color preferences. We start with you selecting a few patterns from our vast collection of the world’s most honored manufacturers and then the fun begins by mixing and matching patterns until one combination is proclaimed the favorite! We then move to choosing flatware: either sterling, silverplate or stainless. Last we look at the crystal options. A picture of you, the bride is taken with your chosen registry tableware and we send you home with a bottle of champagne as a thank you for becoming a Menagerie bride!”
