We offer couples a location with sprawling grounds and elegant indoor facilities to accommodate every part of their wedding day. Although we are proud to be one of the most beautiful intimate wedding venues in the Austin area, we pride ourselves more on the support and services we offer our couples. The true difference of Red Ridge is not seen, it is felt, from the time we take our couples on their first stroll through the grounds, to their last kiss lit by enchanting sparklers. From our passionate and experienced wedding planning staff, to every day-of service included in our wedding packages, no detail will go unattended.

Getting married at Red Ridge was the easiest and best decision I made for our wedding! I was sold as soon as I had a tour and reviewed the multiple package options. The whole staff is so accommodating and pays close attention to detail. I was able to structure out the entire wedding ceremony and reception months before the Big Day. Then, on my wedding day, they were flexible and met my every need. All of my guests have told me how much fun and how beautiful everything was. I highly recommend Red Ridge!

800 Congress 

5.0

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 

4.8

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!
