    We had our daughter's wedding reception at the Austin Club. The Director was responsive and easy to work with. The event was everything we hoped it would be. We had a cocktail hour followed by seated dinner and dance party. Our guests praised the food, the bar service, the staff and the atmosphere.

    The Austin Club is a beautiful historic setting for a reception. We did not have our ceremony there, but it would also have been beautiful. Working with Lillian made the whole experience was so enjoyable. She made all our dreams come true. There is no better place in downtown Austin.

    Had a wonderful experience using the Austin Club as my reception venue for the wedding. This is a type of venue that has pretty much everything you need except for a cake and a DJ. No outside food or drink but the food was fantastic! Lillian (wedding coordinator for the Austin club) has been doing weddings here for years and knows it very well.

    The Austin Club is the perfect venue for a wedding reception! From its beauty and charm to its top notch staff and incredibly delicious food, a bride cannot choose a better venue. Lillian was wonderful to work with from the very beginning and personally put on the finishing touches to make it a truly magical night. The staff was extremely professional, courteous and tended to every need and request. The compliments are still flowing from our guests!

    The Austin Club was spectacular from the moment we found it! From planning, the tasting, and the reception, Lillian and the staff at the Austin Club made sure that our wedding was exactly what we wanted. The facility is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff are friendly. They knew exactly what we wanted and planned ahead so that the night would go smoothly. Towards the end of the night, I was tired of being in my heels. One of the managers gave me white flip flops with tulle to wear for the rest of the night, which was so sweet! All of our guests were so impressed with the service, food, and venue; we still get compliments on the wedding, even 3 months later. If we had to do it all again, my fiancé and I agree that we wouldn't change having it at the Austin Club!

    Words can not express how grateful I am to Lilian and the Austin Club. My wedding was everything I wanted and more! 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). I would recommend this place in a heartbeat to any bride that envisions an elegant wedding with such an amazing atmosphere. It is definitely a bit pricey, but you absolutely get what you pay for. Incredible service, delicious food, and such a beautiful place.

    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. I highly recommend the Austin Club to anyone planning a wedding in Austin, they are truly the best in town!

    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 (we had our ceremony at a nearby church and our reception here). The feel of the Austin Club is romantic, intimate, 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 :)

    We could not have asked for a better venue for our reception. The ballroom was elegant and timeless, as were the furnishings and decor. Lillian was so helpful throughout the entire process, with everything from choosing food to a timeline to pedicab recommendations! She and the entire Austin Club staff are truly a delight to work with. We got so many compliments about the food, especially the fried chicken, and the mini desserts!

    The best thing about the Austin Club is what you get for your money--this is a high value reception venue. They provide EVERYTHING, from tables to chairs to linens to food to servers--it's the whole package. I highly recommend a tasting of your as it is both fun and informative.

    If you're looking for an elegant and classic venue in the heart of downtown Austin that has high value and high quality, look no further.

    The Austin Club was a dream of a venue, both the wedding reception itself and then working with Lillian and the staff the months leading up to the wedding! You get so much more than you pay for at this venue, I don't even know where to begin. Lillian is so great and really does take care of everything related to the venue, which gives you one (big) less thing to worry about. I was extremely worried about the timeline during the reception and how the guests and band would know what to do, but it all went perfectly! One of our guests even mentioned to my mom how they had never been to a wedding where the transitions went so smoothly! You don't realize how important those little details are until you are in the final weeks of planning. I am so glad I chose a venue who handled it so well during the last weeks leading up to the wedding! The food is AMAZING, even our videographer said it was some of the best venue food he has ever tasted!! The Austin Club made all my dreams come true and I would choose them again in a heartbeat!

    The Austin Club and their phenomenal staff made our wedding night absolutely perfect. Working with Lillian leading up to our wedding let us rest assured that we were in good hands. She is so sweet and her knowledge that stems from years of experience was so helpful in planning our wedding. The private dinner that we (the bride and groom) were treated to was magical. It was wonderful to have a few moments to collect ourselves and bask in the just-married excitement before greeting our guests at our reception. We chose the Austin Club because it is a full-service reception venue with a timeless beauty... and they function as a private dining club so we KNEW the food would be exceptional and it didn't disappoint! I had so many guests rave about the delicious food and wonderful service. All of the staff was friendly and accommodating to our family and guests. The servers who took care of my husband and I all night were so sweet and made sure we wanted for nothing. The Austin Club even sent us away with a bag full of post-wedding snacks. Fruit, cheese, champagne, and wedding cake. The Austin Club is the perfect venue if you're looking for a full-service elegant wedding reception with amazing food and ambiance! If you have a specific date in mind, don't wait to contact Lillian-- the Austin Club books fast, and for good reason!

    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!!)

    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 ;)!!!

    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. Walking up the staircase and seeing the ballroom for the first time is a magical experience. Lillian and her staff took such good care of me and made my wedding planning experience smooth sailing. 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!
    Oh 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. 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.
    In 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.

    The Austin Club went ABOVE and BEYOND for our wedding! We (bride and groom) had 2 attendants on us all night, but not in annoying way. They were standing by us on the dance floor after we danced for 4 straight songs holding ice water. They were constantly refreshing our drinks and remembered what beer or mixed cocktail we preferred. The food was INCREDIBLE! All of our guests are still talking about how much they loved the food. I've heard glowing reviews about the bartenders and other staff as well. We wanted to have a huge dancefloor and Lillian came up with a floor plan that worked perfectly. I can't imagine using any other venue - they were so incredible!

    I chose the Austin Club for the location, beauty and service. I was an out of town bride and working with Lillian Beckwith was so easy and made sure I had everything I wanted to make my wedding day special. We loved the food, the service by everyone at the club and the amazing ball room. My husband and I had a wonderful well organized, gorgeous, fun wedding. Without Lillian and the other staff this would not have been so easy and possible. After our wedding we got so many comments from our guests on how great everything was. I would recommend this location to any bride!

    Unbelievable value!!!! The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous and the exterior is beautiful as well. We had 100 or so guests, with a buffet dinner and open bar. The hot hors d'oeuvres were Spinach and brie dip with toast points and steamed dumplings with plum sauce. The Cold hors d'oeuvres were ham roll-ups with asparagus spears and smoked salmon pinwheels. We had 3 salad selections, Jackson salad (with artichoke hearts, bleu cheese, heart of palm, black olives, olive oil and lemon), Fresh mozzarella, roma tomatoes, and fresh basil, and tortellini with pesto and parmesean. The 2 entrees were Lone Star Sirloin and sauteed breast of chicken with spinach and mushroom brie sauce. The Side Dishes were green beans with bacon and onion and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. All of that for around $32/person! The best part was that we had a lot of foodies at our wedding and they came to my table to rave about how good the food was. It was absolutely the best food I have ever had at a wedding and I couldn't be happier that it was at my wedding! I only wish I had been more hungry that night!

    The Austin Club is a beautiful building. The staff is very personal and professional. They work with you to plan your event. They organize and make sure that the event runs smoothly. The food is incredible. I felt so confident using them and my guest and I had a wonderful time.

    I loved having my daughter's wedding reception here. It was beautiful.

    Our reception at The Austin Club was absolutely beautiful! Our guests kept saying how magical the room felt! The space is warm and inviting with huge chandeliers and glass and candle accents. The reception coordinator, Lillian, is a pleasure to work with. She has so much experience and is willing to pass her ideas and knowledg onto you! The food was delicious and there are many options and packages to choose from-and if you have another idea the staff is willing to be flexible and work to make your wedding reception exactly what you imagine. I know that ours turned out the be just what I had envisioned! Situated right off of Congress, the location was truly an Austin experence as guests drove right by the capitol building on their way to our party! There was not one thing we would have changed about our wedding reception at The Austin Club.

    The Austin Club was at the top of our list! The mirrors and chandeliers are what brought me in. My only issue is the location. Parking is validated for all guest however I can sense many people getting lost.

    The Austin Club is a beautiful place to have a wedding reception. The wedding coordinator there is very nice and responsive to requests. They handle almost everything the day of, which makes it much easier to enjoy your wedding day. The food was great - my family and friends are still talking about how delicious the dinner was!

    The Austin Club is a wonderful historic building in downtown Austin. The ballroom is a hidden gem and was the perfect size for our 115 person guest list! The space as very intimate and everyone thought the glass french doors and chandeliers were stunning!
