This venue is beautiful!!! I didn't know anything about it before I started planning my wedding, my Mom actually recommended looking there. The grounds are downtown which is a plus for out of town guests that want to stay downtown and explore Austin. It is so green with big beautiful trees, green shrubs and the grass is beautiful. It is also a historic site, it was the French Embassy when Texas was a republic. If you want an original venue I would absolutely recommend the French Legation.
The only drawback is that you have to have your music off by 10:30 because they are in a neighborhood, otherwise they were wonderful to work with and were very cool about when we set up and cleaned up.

Had our wedding here in April and it was a wonderful experience. The venue was very easy to work with and the entire event ran very smoothly. If you haven't been to the venue, go, it's gorgeous! Between the staff, venue, location, and price, we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate getting married.

French Legation has an amazing outdoor landscape that is perfect for a Fall or Spring Wedding. It was really affordable as well since they are a museum, moonlighting as a wedding venue.

They charged us less for setup than during the actual ceremony and reception. There were multiple options on site where we could do either the ceremony or reception, and the staff were so friendly and helpful in showing us photos from other weddings.

The one downside is that there is only the one carriage house for privacy - so the ladies got ready up there and the guys had to just hang out in the reception area until the wedding started. Parking is also not that great - all street parking - but worth it!

I was happy with our ceremony location choice. It worked well with our small wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
