Our ceremony with the foliage as a beautiful backdrop from outside the farmstead building.
Max K.

We had our wedding here on November 5th and it was everything we could have hoped for. The venue is beautiful. We had our ceremony in the farmstead building that easily held our 100+ guests and provided a bright, clean look with great light for our ceremony. We faced out towards the lawn and trees, which provided a lovely green backdrop for the ceremony. The reception was held in the barn after an outdoor cocktail hour and it was just fabulous. The cooperative weather definitely helped, but it was clear that had the weather gone south, there would have been many indoor options as needed. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more and a large part of that had to do with this venue. In addition to the beautiful setting, the food and drinks were top notch. Everyone remembers if the food at a wedding is subpar, so we were sure we wanted to find a vendor that could provide delicious food for our wedding in addition to a great space and Barr more than delivered. It's so useful that the venue provides the food and bar as it was so many fewer things to worry about. The only decisions we had to make regarding food and drink were which delicious options we wanted, and that was quite difficult because there were so many good options after the complimentary tasting they offered. As a mostly one stop shop, this wedding venue is more than worth the cost. Highly recommend. This place has a lovely, unique personality coupled with a staff that are invested in making your wedding exactly perfect for you. They more than delivered for my new wife and I. We won't be trying to top this one, but were we to get married again, we'd probably try to come right back to Barr!

My family of four attended a wedding ceremony and reception at this venue on wonderful evening. The venue was beautiful with a mixture of old and new structures. The ground was lushly maintained with beautiful plants and trees. All the employees were very friendly and helpful. More stalls were needed in the restrooms next to the reception hall. Also the pathway between the reception hall and parking needed brighter lights in the late evening. Several older attendees needed help in navigating the pathway in late night. Overall, this venue is definitely an excellent option in hosting any event.

My fiancée and I found them to be discriminating to her religion. They denied further communication and any contract with us service because we asked questions about not wanting to serve alcohol at our wedding. It's kind of sad and bipolar of them to say they want to work with us then deny us when we inquired about beverage service fees without alcohol. Unfortunately religious discrimination still exists and it's sad to see it at a place where people unite and commit to each other.

My husband and I got married at Barr Mansion two weeks ago. Not only was it the most incredible night of our lives - but I can't even count the number of people who told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Everything just exceeded our expectations. We worked with both Cori and Amy. In the beginning we were a little worried because we felt like they weren't responding to our questions as quickly as we'd like. But - a few weeks before the wedding, they both came through and made sure every detail was in place (taking all of the pressure off of us). The food was AMAZING!!! We went with the trout, coffee rubbed steak, Mac and cheese, green beans & melon salad. We were also told by *so many guests that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. It was the best food we've ever had at a wedding too - but maybe we're a little biased;) We also LOVED being able to have multiple locations for the events. We did the ceremony in the farmstead (so we got the beautiful view of the greenery/outside area - but our guests were also protected by air conditioning and fans). We did cocktail hour on the patio area outside and then dinner in the ballroom. I could go on and on about how incredible our wedding was. But I can honestly say everything from the planning to the execution was perfect. Barr Mansion is the most gorgeous wedding venue we've ever experienced and Cori and Amy both made sure it was a night to remember.

Would would've thought this little gem existed so close to Austin? I had heard rumors, but never knew until I experienced it myself. Tucked just about 10 minutes from downtown is an event space that rallies those gorgeous ones out in Dripping Springs! They have both an indoor and outdoor space that I believe can host up to 300 people. Inside is decorated nicely with a rustic outdoor edge minus the particle board ceiling. Outside will definitely need coordination with decor. But I guess that just makes it an open canvas. The grounds are beautiful. Bathrooms are sparse. Only two. And the band area is small if desired indoors. Their own chef makes incredible dishes. I loved the spaghetti squash with pesto & and I tried a fabulous dessert of strawberry French macaroons. I would recommend this site for any future brides looking for a country chic environment close to town!

Warehouse District, Downtown

Tiger Lilly is the newest occupant taking over 400 Colorado Street. If you've ever been to the late…read moreEstelle's, it offers a similar vibe with moody, elegant decor, but with a friendlier, more inviting atmosphere. There are no food offerings, but the specialty drinks offered are immaculate (& ridiculously overpriced for the size). Open Thursday to Saturday from 6 PM to 2 AM, the space boasts vintage furniture, eclectic artwork, and carefully curated décor. Tiger Lilly has two floors, the first floor showcasing a bar and bar stools around and the second floor with more dining spaces and modular spaces for intimate conversations. There are also private rooms and a whole venue buyout for rent.

We actually found it pretty last minute and decided to go early since we knew we'd be taking photos and didn't want to deal with crowds. When we arrived, it was pretty quiet, which honestly worked out perfectly for us. The décor is bold and eclectic in the best way, think velvet booths, curated gallery walls, low lighting, and these amazing feathered chandeliers that tie the whole space together. We ordered the Tiger Lilly cocktail and the Elote, both were fantastic. The drinks are not only pretty but good, which isn't always a given in places that are more vibe-forward. Ours were balanced, flavorful, and well-presented. The DJ was there, early, which was a nice surprise, it gave the whole place some life without being overwhelming. The staff was super kind, especially the manager who came by to check in and even gave us a little background on the space. We appreciated how welcoming everyone was. We heard that the night before had been packed, so it sounds like this place definitely fills up later at night. We're looking forward to coming back when it's livelier to get the full experience, but for a chill early visit focused on ambiance, great service, and creative drinks, it absolutely hit the mark. Pro tip: If you're someone who loves a visually aesthetic experience and wants a place to snap a few pics before the rush, go early like we did. Can't wait to return!

I'm…read moreholding a star since we received an email saying we got our deposit back Aug 12th and I still haven't seen the funds in my account- but besides that issue it's definitely got a 5 star rating! We actually got married a month prior in MA, but needed to celebrate the occasion with all our friends who live here with us in TX. This event space was perfect for a party on a budget. The view- I mean, come ON, was just incredible, and the backdrop for everyone's photos! People could not stop talking about how phenomenal it was. The process of getting the place was a bit tricky, as I could not navigate their government website to select the date and missed the cut-off time before having to do the lottery. Luckily, not a lot of people were begging for dates in August as the venue does not have air conditioning- so the heat was a bit brutal (but that's Texas!)- but we got it no problem! I ended up calling and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Speaking of air conditioning- or lack-there-of- we ended up renting some swamp coolers (huge cooling fans that run off of ice- but a LOT of ice!!) to help with the heat. There are ceiling fans and a few industrial fans included- but those don't help too much in August! I had a hard time figuring out what exactly we needed- so I'm going to add a quick "plug" for Preferred Climate Solutions our of Hutto, TX. They worked ZPC before and knew how to set things up. Brett even had an extra swamp cooler from an earlier event he let us use. Moving on- because this place doesn't require use of specific vendors- it made it that much affordable. We hired Slab BBQ to cater and Pixster photo booth for fun. For drinks, we filled out the necessary paperwork (some cheap $10ish permit? I can't quite remember) and we're able to just bring in a few kegs and boxes of wine from PartyBarn. Everything went off without a hitch! Good to note- the place provides a bunch of tables. Two huge round ones, a few smaller round and rectangle ones, and some nice cocktail tables we used on the patio. (The cocktail tables and one rectangular were good enough condition to go without tablecloths- the rest require coverings.) For lighting- it was definitely important to us to get string lights on the patio. I realized last minute that getting a few hundred feet of lights was going to be trickier than I initially thought- since I had to consider ones that connected and could manage the power of 300 ft of lights. I used Americanpartylights.com- it worked out great! They included zip ties which is important since it's against the park rules to use tape (holds better anyways.) I found a great diagram of ZPC patio for the light arrangements and measurements (photo included.) It was a perfect celebration and I HIGHLY recommend this space for any event! It has such a cool vibe even without decorations, your set up can be minimal and still look amazing. Plus... that VIEW!
