I was here for a rehearsal dinner. The place was beautiful, clean and the staff super friendly. I loved seeing g all the ties to music from what I was able to see during the rehearsal dinner.

The Allan House was my dream wedding venue so it was a dream come true to get married there last week! It is so charming, beautiful, and intimate. Our micro wedding was on a limited budget but it didn’t take much investment to have a gorgeous wedding here with how innately beautiful the porches, balconies, stairs, etched windows, and trees are. Alex was responsive and friendly in answering my many questions!

Thank you Allan House for setting the scene to the best day of our lives! 🤍💍✨

The Allan House was the perfect venue for our wedding! The staff was amazing from start to finish. All of our emails and many questions were answered promptly throughout the wedding planning process. The wedding day itself was smooth, and we loved having a venue that was within Austin city limits. It was an easy commute for our guests, and we had access to all the fun that Austin has to offer. Additionally, we could really customize the vendors, set up, and vibe of the wedding through this venue. The team at Allan House has put on so many weddings, and everything went smoothly on our wedding day. Thank you so much Juliana, Alex, and everyone at The Allan House!!!

My wedding was beautiful, but my partner left me anyway. So far they have not returned the payment. I would assume that if a marriage fails then the venue where the wedding occurred would be liable. But I guess we are in Biden's america.

Great location, and popular for small to medium sized weddings. My daughter wanted an outdoor wedding ceremony and the patio here is perfect for 100 - 125 guests! Also considering they have chairs, tables and bars/band gazebo and even some strings lights in place, it was ‘affordable luxury.’ Grooms suite was perfectly apart from the bridal area, so we were all able to get ready and do photo shoots here, prior to ceremony and guest arrival. The view is nice from the balcony for guests, and vendors are ‘in the know’, so less to worry about all around. We did ‘the flip’ to sit down reception, while guests were upstairs for cocktails/apps and it was a smooth transition. Pleasantly surprised. Thanks to Julianna for a wonderful event!

What a great venue for a wedding. It was a cold night but the staff was still great! And the wedding went off without a hitch!

Such a beautiful space for a wedding and centrally located for those wanting to be in downtown Austin. Tons of quaint rooms, airy and full of light, such a special venue. I recently photographed a wedding here last month and am completely obsessed. Can't wait to be back here next month for another wedding!

The Allan House was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding celebration! The premises are absolutely breathtaking - the perfect setting for our classic-with-a-modern-twist wedding aesthetic. The venue staff was fantastic to work with - Juliana was quick to answer any questions I had and was very helpful and friendly. The Allan House's preferred vendor list was essentially a wedding planning Bible - they have strong relationships with fantastic vendors at a range of price points to help guide you in planning your event. This venue is also very fairly priced for downtown Austin, and worth every penny! I can't recommend this venue enough!!

Had a wonderful time for my friend's wedding. I especially loved the way that the tree perfectly integrated into the outdoor tent. The staff quickly and professionally switched the space over during cocktail hour. We also had authentic food for the reception, so it seems they allow for personal caterers.

The most dreamy downtown Austin wedding venue! We were married here in early December 2021 and had the most perfect day. Juliana helped with every question we had, the space was exactly what we imagined, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how magical everything was. With the December booking, we received the "Winter Tent" free of charge and it was perfectly temperature controlled. We had 150 guests and they all fit with some room to spare. This venue is easy to access from any hotel downtown and has ample parking included if needed at a nearby lot. Highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a central Austin location without the crazy downtown pricing. 10/10!

When searching for wedding venues, my husband and made plans to tour some locations to help us decide where we wanted to go (pre-pandemic). Once we arrived, walked around, and talked to Julianna (wedding planning binder in hand) we just loved the place. It was our first stop and nothing beat it!

Settling on a date, and understanding the plethora of rentals included (tables and chairs for 150+ guests) just made the decision that much easier! Juliana was so warm and kind, and worked seamlessly with our coordinator (Mockingbird Lane Events-truly another amazing wedding must-have!) When we requested an additional half-hour for our catering staff, the transaction was quick and reasonable.

Getting married during a global pandemic is sure to cause some headaches, but there was never any issues with communication with Juliana and ensuring we moved forward. My father even contacted her over a year ahead of time to help with research for hotels since majority of our guests were from out of town. She provided a list and professional suggestions about what was worth our time and energy.

The Allan House was absolutely perfect for our quiet, classic yet laid back style of wedding. This backdrop made all of our guests look even more stunning, and the tree lit up at night was gorgeous. Highly suggest The Allan House. You can't go wrong with a beautiful and historic home for your weddings or party needs!
