Housed in the 1878 Millett Opera House in downtown Austin, The Austin Club occupies a building once second in size and grandeur only to Galveston's opera house, with 24-inch limestone walls, a hand-painted ceiling, and a balcony original to its performance-hall days. Notable figures from John Philip Sousa to William Jennings Bryan once appeared on its stage before the building later served as a skating rink, a Knights of Columbus hall, and a public school property. The Austin Club, founded in 1949, has leased and restored the building since 1979. Today the club hosts weddings, galas, corporate events, and private dinners across seven indoor and outdoor rental spaces, including the Medallion Ballroom, which accommodates up to 250 seated or 300 standing guests. Room rentals include an on-site event manager, tables, house linens, wait staff, bartending, Wi-Fi, and a dance floor, with an in-house culinary team handling catering for every event.

At Barr Mansion we believe in creating a space where every moment is remarkable. We are a wedding and events venue located in the heart of Austin, just northeast of downtown and fifteen minutes from the capital – seven acres of organic gardens, beautiful landscapes, and thoughtfully designed buildings. Barr Mansion captures the essence of contemporary, organic beauty – offering unparalleled settings, full service coordination and exceptional, farm-to-table cuisine. Our tale starts in 1898 when Tilly and William Braxton Barr bought 223 acres of land in Sprinkle, Texas, which contained a post office, churches, a school, and a train station. They then built our historic home for their family to live in. The community remained populated up until the 1930s until being eventually included into the expanding metropolis of Austin. During the century, the Barr family continued to live in the Mansion, but sadly it gradually fell into disrepair. I'd had the desire to restore a historic structure for my entire life, and when I first came across this site in 1981, I felt with all of my heart that it was the appropriate place to do it. When Austin started to learn about and share my love for this hidden jewel, the years of construction and labor that I had invested while raising my own family in the Mansion, transformed into a passionate life in the events sector. I initially prepared all of the food for the visitors myself, but as time went on, professional event staff was employed, and the area gradually grew into the magnificent three buildings and gourmet kitchen where we now host parties. Even though the Mansion has been a steadfast part of Texas history for more than a century, we didn't stop there. We added an 18th-century Artisan Ballroom to the property in 2000, having it brought piece by piece from New York because I knew Austin would enjoy the building's many large glass windows that give visitors the impression that they are outside while inside. When Christopher Columbus first came to America, some of the barn's timbers were still trees, giving the place even more historical significance. The farmhouse, our most recent addition to the property and a contemporary twist on an open-air pavilion, was completed in 2014. It gives visitors even more possibilities to enjoy the expansive grounds and gardens. I am incredibly proud of our history and where we have come from, and I am eager to share my life's work with you.

Tucked into 32 acres of Texas Hill Country near New Braunfels, The Gardens of Cranesbury View brings a genuinely rare sight to the region: three acres of formal European gardens, complete with eight-foot hedges and a driveway lined by more than 100 rose bushes. Owner Amy Templeton, a Cal Poly-trained horticulturist who studied the Gardens of Versailles, spent 15 years shaping the grounds into what she calls "a little piece of Europe set here in New Braunfels" — a deliberate departure from the typical Hill Country look, and all the more striking for it. Ceremonies take place at an elegant 15-foot wrought-iron gazebo set among the gardens, with no extra charge for using the site. When weather turns, celebrations move indoors to the ballroom — designed in the spirit of an old English chapel, with a white marble floor and warm, elegant accents across 3,200 square feet — or to the fully covered courtyard, where crystal chandeliers hang above a garden view complete with a mobile bar and space for games. A bridal suite with multiple makeup stations and a garden-view balcony, along with a separate groom's suite, round out the preparations. The venue includes chiavari and padded chairs, tables, and a day-of facilitator with every package, and the grounds are gated, well-lit, and fully handicap accessible. With her recommended list of florists, caterers, and coordinators built from 29 years in the wedding industry, Amy and her team bring a personal, deeply experienced hand to every celebration held on these remarkable grounds.
