Our wedding at Barr Mansion exceeded all of our wildest dreams and imaginations — I have never been to a better wedding.

We were originally supposed to get married at Barr Mansion in 2021 but moved our wedding due to covid and the team was incredibly considerate, helpful, and accommodating.

Barr Mansion overall as a venue and an aesthetic is an absolute dream. Getting married under the pecan tree made us feel like we were getting married under the actual tree of life (and have you seen how gorgeous it is in photos?) And there is nothing prettier than getting married in the ballroom with all of the gorgeous ivy inside the glass wall — add the edison bulb chandelier with some greenery and it is absolutely stunning.

The food at Barr Mansion is second to none. They have creative and impactful menu options that you can curate to exactly what you want. Food for our wedding was incredibly important to my husband and I and the Barr Mansion team really worked with us to make sure our options would be unique and a reflection of our love of food. On the day everything was incredible and our friends and family were very happy and well fed. Also, the desserts were awesome, most people don't love wedding cake, but Barr Mansion has very unique flavors (we had orange cake with camomile icing) and between the wedding cake and the salted pecan cheesecake bites, everyone raved about dessert.

But, by far the best thing about the Barr Mansion experience is the team. Everyone we interacted with was kind and helpful and thoughtful. However, the absolute legend of the team is the coordinator Molly Mulally. We booked the coordinator package through Barr Mansion and Molly was our coordinator — we did not utilize any outside wedding planner, and Molly really made us feel that everything was in hand. Molly had suggestions and advice as we looked to book outside vendors, and in the weeks leading up to the wedding she reached out to all of our outside vendors and coordinated logistics for the day-of.

Planning a wedding is a deeply personal and intimate thing, and I felt absolutely in the best hands with Molly as our coordinator. On the actual day I felt cool and calm because I knew Molly was taking care of everything, and because any little concern I had on the day she took into stride and was a very calming presence. In the actual planning process in the year plus leading up to our day, no questions was too small for Molly, and she normally responded to emails almost instantaneously. She had helpful suggestions and thoughts for everything, and took incredible notes. She will make sure you are on track from a planning timeline perspective and is incredibly supportive in making sure the day reflects you and your significant other. On the actual day our family could all tell what an absolutely incredibly human Molly is and commented as such to us. She is an absolute gem and an outstanding wedding coordinator through and through.

Book Barr Mansion, book Molly, and have the best wedding you’ve ever been to.

Barr Mansion was the perfect venue for our wedding, and we are so grateful we chose it. After touring several venues, we immediately knew Barr was the one. The atmosphere is magical—elegant, welcoming, and stunning, especially the ballroom with its vine-covered, floor-to-ceiling windows.

The food was exceptional. The on-site catering team went above and beyond, from the focaccia to the potato leek soup, scallops, wedding cake, and late-night honey chicken butter biscuits. The s’mores station was also a big hit with guests!

We loved that Barr Mansion is conveniently located in Austin, offering a serene yet accessible setting. Huge thanks to Zachary, Sarah, and the entire team for their energy, positivity, and incredible organization. They made our wedding dreams come to life!

We’ll always cherish our time at Barr Mansion and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable location for their big day!

Oh my goodness, I don’t even know where to start! Honestly, don’t even look anywhere else—this is the place! From the moment I signed the contract in August 2023 to leaving in a getaway car with my husband in September 2024, the BM staff made me feel like their top priority. They were beyond accommodating, welcoming every idea I had and thoughtfully managing details I hadn’t even thought of.

I loved being able to show my parents the space at the ‘Under the Stars’ event (definitely check this out if you’re considering the venue!), having a private menu tasting that fit our out-of-town schedule (the chef and the food here are simply phenomenal and a major highlight for our guests), and capturing a sweet photoshoot with my mom a few months before the wedding.

Every chance I had to visit the venue and spend time with the amazing team, I took it! The staff was so cool, calm, and collected—I couldn’t have felt more confident that everything would be perfect. Not to mention, the venue and property are just breathtaking! So many of our guests said it felt like a scene from a movie and was by far the best wedding they’d ever been to. I wish I could do it all over again!

Thanks you, Barr Mansion!!!

Beautiful venue, AMAZING food! Dream wedding venue! We loved having our wedding in June 2024 at Barr Mansion. Our guests loved the natural beauty and the amazing food!

Barr did a wonderful job for our wedding that was in early March. Throughout the entire planning process everyone who assisted was very responsive, helpful and patient with our many questions. On the day of the wedding everyone at Barr was upbeat and very organized. As far as I know our coordinator didn't have any issues with deliveries or set up and I can't express how nice it is to glide through your wedding day knowing that all has gone according to plan.

The dinner was awesome! We personally loved every course and our guests are still telling us how delicious it was. I will admit we were a little nervous since we hadn't tried any of the items we selected at our tasting since it was held in a different season than our wedding date, but all were fabulous.

Our guest were also super impressed with the bar staff. They brought the BEST energy. We had a heavy drinking crowd and everyone who attended raved about how much the bartenders hustled. We had so many people talk about how cool the bartenders were, we wanted a party wedding and could not have achieved it without their hype.

Barr Mansion is a stunning venue to have a wedding at. However, our special day was the best day ever thanks to our day of coordinator, who became our full blown wedding planner, Molly Mullaly. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was running smoothly on our day, and leading up to our wedding day she guided us with the best vendors and made sure we were all prepared with everything needed. She is a natural at what she does and is so professional, but at the same time makes you feel like she's known you forever. I am so thankful to have had her by my side on our wedding day, because she truly is the reason it was the best day ever. I even gave her a speech at the wedding to let her know how much we appreciated everything she did. She is truly the best!

I don't know if I can recommend anything as much as I'd recommend Barr Mansion for your wedding! As described by our guests, it was "magical!" As you can see from the photos, the grounds and buildings are stunning and the perfect balance of outdoor/botanical and indoor/elegance. Keena and her team were rockstars; she was so helpful especially given we were planning from 2k miles away. Day before, we handed over the decor and I realized later I didn't give her any directions, because I just knew I didn't need to! She made everything so easy. The farm-to-table food is delicious; we didn't get a single complaint from our guests (trust me, we would have!). And the team made sure we got our own tray of apps as well as a takeaway box of food and desserts! Our guests are still talking about our venue one month later. I wish I could host every party at Barr; it was the perfect day!

Barr Mansion is the absolute best!! I myself do not feel like i am the best planner and the staff of Barr Mansion made the planning process so seamless and easy. All of the food, service, tables, and linens are done in house which made the process stress free for me. On top of that, they provide you with a wedding coordinator to help guide you through the process. We were assigned to Molly Mulally who was an absolute ANGEL. Molly went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process from the day we signed the contract to the wedding day. I can’t say enough about how phenomenal Molly and the entire staff is at Barr Mansion… Trust the suggested vendors from the staff because they all love what they do and it shows!

Even though I never thought I'd plan a wedding, my now wife told me to do it because she was too busy focusing on her education. Barr Mansion's staff quickly allowed us to book and assigned us a "Day-Of" coordinator Molly. Before the event, Molly met with us multiple times, answered questions, drafted outlines, and made sure we had rock solid plans. Additionally, she independently worked with each of our vendors and even brought to my attention a few miscommunications/errors (on my part) in the plan. During the event, the Barr Mansion staff, including Molly, made sure all things went off without a hitch. Weirdly enough, I never knew where Molly was until I needed her support on something. Many of our guests let me know the staff was incredible as well. Between the Barr Mansion support, Molly's support, and Barr Mansion's recommended vendor list, I could not imagine an easier wedding to plan. Lastly, many of my guests and most importantly my wife said that it was their favorite wedding they have ever been to.

Our wedding at Barr Mansion was better than we ever could have imagined. The venue is really beautiful, and they have a few different spaces you can use throughout the day/night. We live in Boston but are both originally from Texas, so we wanted to have our wedding in Austin and Barr Mansion made it so easy to plan our wedding (even from another state)! Not only do they handle many things themselves in-house (e.g., the food, which our guests could not stop raving about, tables/basic linens, furniture rentals, cake), but they also have relationships with many absolutely amazing vendors, so they were able to run with many things on their own (e.g., coordinating with the florist who also knew Barr Mansion well). It made everything run so smoothly.

We also cannot say enough GREAT things about our coordinator, Molly, who was incredibly thoughtful and on top of everything. Leading up to the big day, she kept things very organized by checking in with us regularly and sending us lists of outstanding items. On the day of, it really felt like she was everywhere all at once - my mom commented that she would look around for something and 5 seconds later Molly would be there to see what she needed. She really made us feel supported and like a part of the Barr Mansion family!

Also, we were one of those COVID couples that had to postpone multiple times, and the venue/Molly were incredibly understanding and flexible. I have heard so many stories about other venues that made it very difficult for the couple, and I never once felt any frustration from the venue or anyone about the situation. They were very supportive and so excited for us when the big day finally came, which meant so much to us.
