Eight rooms, reserved for you
On your wedding day, the mansion belongs to you, your wedding party and close family. Weekend rentals include 14 hours (weekdays, 12), so you can spend the whole morning getting ready in a comfortable house, with eight rooms to spread out, take photos and have a quiet minute before the ceremony.

A mansion venue with a modern reception hall
Old houses are beautiful. They're not built to seat 250 people for dinner. That's why the party happens next door, in our 3,400 sq ft climate-controlled reception hall with floor-to-ceiling windows. Tables and chairs are included, and a covered brick breezeway gives you a real rain plan. Torn between historic and modern? Read historic vs. modern wedding venues in Austin.
