Marissa Pels(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2021 I'm so surprised there are not more reviews on this venue. My husband and I recently had our wedding reception here, and it was PERFECT! The venue is a beautiful historic building. It's in downtown Austin and close to several hotels, which makes it super easy for out-of-town guests. This venue also provides almost everything you need! They provide the food (which was delicious) and bar service as well tables, chairs, linens, etc. It made the planning process so much easier. Kristin is the wedding coordinator at The Austin Club, and she did such a great job in helping us plan our event! She was super responsive and very accommodating. All of our guests had a great time! You need to check this place out! Reviewed on 14-10-2021

Alicia Azevedo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2016 The Austin Club was the perfect reception venue! It was so beautiful and the chandeliers are to die for. We have received so many compliments from friends and family on how incredible the Austin Club was and how delicious the food tasted. It was so easy and wonderful to work with Lillian throughout the wedding planning process. And while we were excited to see how our room would look, we were floored when we saw how gorgeous our reception was when we entered the ballroom. It was beautiful and exactly what we had dreamt! We cannot begin to express our appreciation for all of Lillian's help. As we begin our life together as husband and wife, we look forward to coming back to the Austin Club for more special occasions in the future. Reviewed on 05-03-2017
Katie Newnam(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-12-2017 The Austin Club was not only an elegant and gorgeous venue to host our ceremony and reception, but the service from planning to execution was impeccable. Lillian and her staff were invaluable to us through the entire affair, the food was amazing, the attention to detail flawless and several guests commented that our wedding was the best they had ever attended. All the services we needed were catered to from full set up/break down of the room, private bridal rooms for prep, private dining are for my husband and I to relax for a short time, to the exquisite take home picnic basket.

It was absolutely beautiful! The chandeliers gave my wedding such an elegant touch and the food! OMG. The food was delicious! All of my guests were raving at how delicious everything was people kept running back to get seconds (we had a buffet).

Kalyn Moore(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-04-2016 The moment we walked into the Austin Club's ballroom, we knew this was our dream wedding venue!! The ballroom is breathtaking...literally! (my jaw actually dropped when we walked in). We saw a few more venues before we booked, but nothing compared. We had great experiences working with the staff and with Lillian, and our wedding turned out more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined! It was PERFECT!The Austin Club was AMAZING- everything I wanted in a wedding venue. The feel of the Austin Club is romantic, elegant, and classy....together with the huge mahogany bar, lighting, and chandeliers made for a magical evening! The value for what you get is on point with many options available. The staff is extremely helpful, friendly, and they cater to you and your guests-they really made me, my husband and our guests feel special. Lillian was fast and responsive to e-mails/questions and very helpful throughout the planning process. The food is delicious, too!! Multiple wedding guests commented on how good the food was, especially the bacon wrapped quail! The layout was perfect- any layout you choose includes a good size dance floor. They also have complimentary parking that can accommodate even a large guest count- which is hard to find downtown.Our wedding night was truly magical and the ballroom was absolutely gorgeous! I had wedding guests come up to me, my parents and my mother-in-law and tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. My husband told me afterwards that we should get married here every year :) Reviewed on 02-05-2016

LaKesha Pope(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-12-2013 My wedding reception at the Austin Club was absolutely beautiful. The Austin Club was a perfect venue for the reception. The ballroom was spectacular. The chandeliers and lighting took us to another era. The service was great, the food was magnificent and the ballroom was breathe taking. Lillian, the catering manager, was great to work with. She made sure every detail was taken care of. The wedding was the first Saturday in December and the Austin Club was fully decorated for Christmas. It was a perfect evening. My guest had nothing but favorable comments. Reviewed on 23-12-2013
KJLawlis (parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-11-2013 Our daughter's reception was simply PERFECT! The Austin Club has an amazing, helpful, and professional staff. They left no detail to chance.

Julia Nelson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2013 At first we chose the Austin Club because of the historical significance to Austin and sentimental value for my family. However, the service, staff, hospitality, attention to detail, food quality and options, and overall ambience of the place was truly spectacular!

Laura Alexander(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-07-2013 My husband and I just had our wedding reception at The Austin Club and could not have been more pleased. The setting is beautiful and elegant, the food is great, and Lillian (the venue coordinator) is wonderful to work with. I live out of state so was coordinating everything from afar (and with a short engagement!) and Lillian was totally accommodating and let me wait on making important decisions until after I finished my school year which was a huge stress relief. The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous - I got a ton of compliments on it including one person who said it reminded of her of when she used to live in Paris! The staff was very friendly and helped the reception move along seamlessly. They are both low-key/easy to work with but also pay attention to details so that I could just relax and have a wonderful time that evening. The location was perfect since I'd always had in my mind to do a downtown Austin wedding - all the guests could stay at hotels nearby and many went out downtown after the wedding. I can't say enough good things about how wonderful everyone was to work with at The Austin Club but most importantly, they all helped it be a wonderful evening that all of our guests enjoyed!

Logan Vender(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-04-2013 We couldn't have been happier or more impressed with the Austin Club as our choice of venue. It's gorgeous, vintage, southern styled, and the service and management were also top notch. They went over and above all expectations. I'm so grateful to Lillian for making my day the best day it could have been, and the best day of our lives. If you want memories that you will want to remember forever, book here. The value for the $ is also amazing. Tons of food for one great overall price. They took care of everything and me feel like the only girl in the world. What a magical day. Thanks again to Lillian and her outstanding staff. Nothing could have been better. Reviewed on 10-07-2013
Lauren Banta(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2012 My fiance and I looked at dozens of venues in Austin and when we saw the Austin Club we knew it was the one. From the gorgeous mahogany bar to the chandeliers and glass pre-war french doors, the Austin Club was everything we hoped it would be. When the DJ announced us and we walked through the ballroom doors, I couldn't believe this was my wedding!!! The icing on the cake was Lillian -- The Austin Club wedding coordinator. Lillian was truly amazing. Lillian and her staff were there for my every need and cared as much as I did that everything was perfect. My fiance was also thrilled and absolutely loved Lillian. And by the way...the food is EVERYTHING the reviews claim it to be --remarkable! (Our guests were still talking about the food the next day). We also thought that the price was very reasonable for everything that was provided. Lillian and the staff at the Austin Club made things easy and treated us like royalty the entire night. We couldn't have been happier with our choice!! (also, the Austin Club is as incredible in photographs as it is in person!!) Reviewed on 01-11-2012
Audra Teinert(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2012 I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Austin Club in Sept 2012. The venue is beautiful and surprisingly well-priced given the location, quality of food, and available options.\r\rTo anyone looking to have both a ceremony AND reception there, do note that it is required to have a wedding coordinator for the day-of to assist with the \"flip\" of the space. At first I was a little put off by this, but after it was all said and done I completely understand why that's required, and also appreciated having a coordinator for the day-of. If you book at the Austin Club for your wedding you will work with Lillian, who is totally on top of things, but also rather particular. For the bride that is organized, punctual, and a little Type A, then you will get along with Lillian just fine. I enjoyed working with her very much, and appreciated her meticulousness as she is devoted to making your day beautiful and stress-free--which mine was. I was worried about the short amount of time in between the ceremony and reception with which the staff would be \"flipping\" the space, but true to her word, Lillian and team had it done in less than 45 minutes.\r\rThe food was delicious, and there were so many wonderful choices it was hard to narrow down the menu. \r\rThe location is perfect if you want a sophisticated urban setting. We knew our guests would be taking in Austin's night life afterwards to this allowed us perfect access to downtown. Could not have been happier with the venue and received numerous compliments from guests. It also looks great in our wedding photos. Reviewed on 19-10-2012
Phuong Diep(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-09-2012 I can't even begin to explain how beautiful The Austin Club is!!! We made the best decision to have our wedding reception here. Lillian is absolutely amazing to work with! Our family and friends can not stop talking about the service they received at our reception along with the ambiance! If you have not booked a wedding reception spot, please contact Lillian to set up an appointment and make sure you bring your checkbook ;)!!! Reviewed on 17-10-2012
Kimberly Fischer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2012 I cannot speak highly enough of the Austin Club and their staff. Number one on our list for our wedding was food. We are both big foodies and decided that was most important to us. I must give my hubs credit for this find, as he was the one to do a search and discover it online. We went for dinner and before the main course even arrived I said to him, \"get me a contract.\" :) But what's even better is the service. I am HUGE on customer service. It can really make or break an experience and EVERY person we've every interacted with (including those not involved in our wedding at all) has always been spectacular. They are all friendly and truly make you feel that you matter. As for the location itself, it is really a gem. It's not modern by any means, but the details of the building are outstanding. Several of my guests commented on how elegant the venue itself was, and I believe it made it that much easier for our decor. We had to do minimal decor and let the building speak for itself. Overall I couldn't be happier with Lillian and the Austin Club. Oh, and as for Lillian herself she is great at timely communication and is super sweet (both a huge plus for me!) There are few things I would give 5 stars to throughout our wedding planning process, but the Austin Club is without question deserving of this rating. Thanks to all!! Reviewed on 17-10-2012
Lydia Rogers(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-08-2012 What can I say about Lillian and the Austin Club family? Top notch people plus a one-of-a-kind facility equals one amazing wedding experience. I knew that I wanted to book the Austin Club for my reception based solely on what I had seen online, but seeing the facility in person and meeting the lovely Lillian put me over the edge. Walking up the staircase and seeing the ballroom for the first time is a magical experience. From the gorgeous chandeliers to the rich mahogany bar, the ballroom is breathtaking. \r\rLillian and her staff took such good care of me and made my wedding planning experience smooth sailing. This was quite a feat since I planned my wedding during my final year of law school and while studying for the bar. Lillian has excellent taste which only comes from years of experience in the wedding industry. She knows her facility up and down and provides excellent advice on what works and what does not. My wedding would not have been a success without her!\r\rOh my goodness, the FOOD! I had been told the food at the Austin Club was amazing, but I was still blown away. The menu options are so tantalizing that it took my husband and I weeks to narrow down the menu to 4 hot and 4 cold appetizers. Unlike other weddings I have been to where the bride and groom served appetizers, these sumptuous snacks were extremely filling. We had pulled-pork sliders, kobe beef sliders, crab cakes, delicious salmon on a wonton crisps, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, caprese skewers, an heirloom tomato bruschetta, and bacon-wrapped chicken jalapeno bites (a la George's crazy wings for the Baylor fans out there). Plus, Lillian made sure that my husband and I actually got to enjoy our food. Before we joined the rest of the party upstairs, we had our own private dinner.\r\rAnother thing I loved about the Austin Club was its size. Since we were getting married in August, it was important to find a venue that could accommodate a large number of people inside. Some other venues could hold large numbers, but the party would be broken up into several rooms. We had about 200 guests attend our wedding, and everyone could enjoy it in while in the same room. Which reminds me - the Austin Club just got gorgeous new gold chiavari chairs! We were actually the first wedding that got to use them! They looked amazing with our silver, gray, and yellow accents.\r\rFor the crafty brides (or brides with crafty mothers like me), the Austin Club is very accommodating of the personal touches you want to add to your reception. We dropped off our stuff the day before and then set up the morning of the wedding. \r\rIn all, the Austin Club is the perfect venue for the bride that wants a classic and timeless wedding. I wanted my wedding venue to be beautiful on its own, without the need of added decorations. There is not a more beautiful ballroom in Austin. Also, its downtown location is fun for guests after the bride and groom have left. One of my favorite memories is seeing our wedding guests heading out to 6th Street to keep the party going after the reception was over.\r\rTo see beautiful pictures of our wedding at the Austin Club, please check out our Style Me Pretty feature: \r\rhttp://www.stylemepretty.com/texas-weddings/2012/09/12/austin-club-wedding-from-luke-and-cat-photography/\r\rIf you have any further questions about my experience at the Austin Club, please feel free to email me at lydia_rogers@baylor.edu.\r Reviewed on 01-10-2012

Rebekah Coffman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2011 The Austin Club proved to be the PERFECT winter wedding site in downtown Austin. It seems a bit pricey, but in the end, was worth every penny. It's nearly a one-stop-shop; I didn't have to rent linens, tables, or chairs, or bring in extra lighting. Because my wedding was in December, the Club was decorated tastefully for Christmas. It was less decorating for me, and looked lovely. The waitstaff was also included in our package and very professional. The food was FANTASTIC. No mediocre wedding food found here, folks; only the best. Guests continue to rave about how delicious everything was! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Reviewed on 03-01-2012

From the Mahogany bar to the chandeliers this place is so beautiful! I recently had my reception there and they really know how to make your event special. First of all when you come in they whisk you away to a private room where you get some alone time to soak up the fact that you are married… then they allow you to sample all of your menu choices that your guests are enjoying…a little champagne or drink of your choice then it’s off to the reception to be introduced! Lillian the coordinator for the Austin Club works her magic in the place. She is sweet and a pure delight to interact with. On top of that the coordination with the vendors was flawless and the outcome was an elegant evening. Many of my friends and family have told me that it was truly one of the most elegant weddings they had ever attended!
