The Carrington 

5.0

  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,350

Nestled on Buda's Historic Main St. The Carrington is a boutique venue, filled with charm and warmth. Complete with indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for intimate family gatherings or medium sized weddings.

We really struggled to find a venue in the Austin area that we liked. Venues tended to be ultra-rustic farmhouses, or ultra-contemporary spaces with no charm, neither of which are our vibe. Anything we did like was priced absurdly high and booked through 2025. Then we found The Carrington and are SO happy we did. We were looking for a place that could provide a cozy-yet-elevated, intimate dinner party atmosphere for our wedding, and The Carrington was exactly that. It had so much charm and character, and the 3 distinct spaces (indoor, ceremony side yard, and backyard) were perfect for creating a natural flow from cocktail hour, to ceremony, to dinner, to dancing. The convenience of the bridal suite upstairs and the guest house next door were a massive plus, too. Our guests gave rave reviews of the venue. We had a really positive experience working with the staff-- particularly with Emily, who was so helpful, kind, and easy-going. The laid-back and flexible attitude of The Carrington team helped make wedding planning so much less stressful. A lot of venues we toured had rigid rules and functioned like wedding factories, not leaving much space for the unique touches we wanted. The Carrington staff were totally open to our ideas and requests, and we were able to handcraft our perfect event. Lastly, the price was unbeatable. I still can't believe how much bang for our buck we got at The Carrington. The wedding industry can feel extremely financially predatory, so I am so grateful to them for providing an affordable option that didn't sacrifice quality. The price of the venue was single-handedly what kept us from going over budget. I would 100% recommend The Carrington, but will note a few things to consider: - We had a spring wedding so the grass and landscaping were fully green and in bloom. During summer and winter you may need more florals/decor to liven up the outdoor space. - There is a train right by the venue with an unpredictable schedule, so there's a chance it will go by during your ceremony. We lucked out and didn't have that happen, but it was on our minds!

800 Congress

Austin, TX
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

800 Congress is a downtown Austin event venue located on historic Congress Avenue with views of the Paramount & State Theatre’s and the Capitol building. The space features an open warehouse look that’s industrial yet polished with original exposed brick and foundation walls, covered street-level terrace, and state of the art A/V system. 800 Congress is your urban Austin event destination!

I looked at a ton of different venues throughout Austin for my wedding and I KNEW 800 Congress was the one. It delivered on every front. The space is absolutely gorgeous and ready to take on the energy of your event. The location is breathtaking at night in such a gorgeous area of downtown. Make use of the projector screen in the corner of the venue as it can’t be pulled out of sight- we aired a black and white movie during the reception and it added such a flair to the entire event. Everyone was easy and professional to work with, and I had the best wedding day.

The Riley Building 

5.0

Austin, TX
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,175

We are a fully customizable venue located in the heart of downtown Austin, Texas! We have a covered rooftop with fabulous weather protection features like built-in heaters, fans, misters, surround sound speakers, party dancefloor lighting + spacious blank canvas floor plans in both of our rooms! Furniture + A/V included - plus more!

Our New Year’s Eve wedding at The Riley Building was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped foot into the venue, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The industrial-chic ambiance combined with the historic charm of the building provided the most picturesque backdrop for our festivities. Booking with Brandon both the venue and the connecting Airbnb was a stroke of genius, allowing us to seamlessly transition from bridal suite to ceremony to after-party without missing a beat. The convenience of having everything in one location made our day stress-free and unforgettable. While we were impressed with the venue’s professionalism and ease of communication throughout the planning process, there was a slight hiccup regarding the sound system. Despite prior assurances, we found out that the sound wasn’t wired to the first floor as we had hoped. However, this minor setback didn’t overshadow the overall amazing experience we had at The Riley Building. A heartfelt thank you to Brandon, Jordyn, Jacob, and the entire team for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding day truly magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to start our journey as a married couple.

South Congress Hotel

Austin, TX
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Modern minimalism meets dramatic impact at the locally designed, owned and operated South Congress Hotel! Located on Austins historic South Congress Avenue and just one mile from downtown, the venue features 2,300 sq ft of beautifully accented interior space, a stunning courtyard, and lush gardens that serve as customizable backdrops for all of your wedding festivities. Neutral color tones, floor to ceiling windows and a flood of natural light enhance the open floor layout of the space, providing a dynamic setting for your big day as you gather with your closest friends and family. From an intimate party of 10 to a large celebration of 200 guests, South Congress Hotel easily and comfortably accommodates your needs so that you can celebrate your happily-ever-after the way you deserve, in style!

We held our December 2020 wedding at South Congress Hotel. When we began looking at venues, we wanted a space that would be uniquely Austin and give off a fun, festive vibe for our late Saturday night wedding. The spaces onsite (we used the Event Space, Courtyard, and the Lobby Bar) had so much character and were perfect for guests to be able to flow from the ceremony to cocktail hour and reception with ease. The quality of the food and bar were important to us in selecting a venue, and South Congress Hotel provided amazing options with delicious food that was miles above "standard" hotel food. While the pandemic forced us to make adjustments to our guest count and some other aspects of our wedding, South Congress Hotel and Sara Ruddle were a DREAM to work with. They were flexible, creative, and accommodating throughout the process. I can't emphasize this enough - as a local business they treated us as partners and friends, not just customers, and multiple times throughout the process we commented how glad we were that we were working with the team at South Congress during the unusual times of 2020. Our guests loved being on South Congress Avenue and being so close to all of the fun activities downtown and South Congress have to offer. 100% recommend!

We had our Indian wedding in March of 2024 and it was a dream come true thanks to Hotel Viata. We had multiple events spread over a couple of venues but Hotel Viata hosted our guests the entire weekend as well as several of our events. We had a LGBTQ Indian wedding and they truly rose to the occasion. Our main contact Kelsey was FANTASTIC, but we truly received top notch service from everyone-from the folks that welcomed us at the desk to the bartenders and servers at our events. They went above and beyond to learn about our traditions and make each of events special. Honestly, we felt like extended family and our guests raved about the experience. The love, openness and celebratory affection they radiated our entire weekend…well that was priceless. Within their ability, they truly tried to make all of our wishes come true. One example of their kindness was when Kelsey went above and beyond and grabbed food for one of our best friend’s young kids…just because we wanted to make sure she had something that she would definitely eat. We’ll always remember our wedding with love and fondness….it was such a special time. And we’ll always be grateful to Hotel Viata for making our 20-year long dream come true. Highly recommend them for any of your special events.

Christy did my hanging chandelier cake for our wedding as well as groom's cake and both were so realistic that we had to tell people they were cake. I've also stopped at Rose Haven for their Guinness and brown buttercream cakes for St Patrick's day, the brown buttercream was one of the best I've ever had.
