My Longhorn Dream Wedding

When I first stepped into this venue, I knew it was the one. If you're a fellow Longhorn like me, you'll love this venue for your wedding as well. The ballroom is huge and magical. You and your wedding planner/florist can practically turn this place into anything you dreamed of. They have a gorgeous outdoor garden area for those who want an outdoor wedding/ceremony. The food is DELICIOUS. I'm still amazed at how they served over 200+ guests perfectly cooked steak and mahi mahi. The service manager for the ballroom that night was great. He made sure my husband and I always had drinks in our hands while we attended to our guests and checked on us throughout the night. The staff kept in touch with us throughout the pre-wedding process, updating us, and responding to our emails very quickly. The hotel suite where we got to crash in at the end of the night has a balcony that gives you the view of the UT tower and the State Capitol. It was the perfect place for a fairy tale wedding!

Highly Recommend

This space was amazing! We were able to have an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception all in the same space. Even better all of our guests could stay in the attached hotel, allowing all of our family and friends to stay close for the entire weekend. Lauri and her entire team were amazing from day one. Lauri responded via email or text anytime we had questions and was even there from start to finish on our wedding day! We can’t speak highly enough of how organized and amazing the staff was! The views of the capital and UT tower made this space even more special. Also, the space accommodated our large wedding of almost 200 people with no problem. The food was also a 5 star review! We did the curry in a hurry buffet and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how awesome the food was! I would recommended this location and their team to anyone!

Perfect Wedding

Our wedding at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center was perfect! We had a 50-person wedding in the “Tejas Room” with great views of the UT tower and Capitol. As UT alumni the venue was the perfect choice to celebrate our marriage with family and friends. I’m so grateful for Lauri Taylor and her team! Lauri walked me through all the options and answered all of my many emails. She made sure our day went smoothly and everyone had great time. The food, drinks and service were exceptional. The wedding package provided took care of most of the wedding elements. I just brought the décor and cake to the “Tejas“ room. My guest could not stop talking about how perfect the day went, again, all thanks to Lauri and her staff. I’ll be forever grateful! Thank you!!

Best day ever!

THE BEST DAY EVER!!
My husband and I began our journey in merriment at this venue in the fall of 2019. We are both long time employees of the University of Texas and this venue was just the right place to capture a part of our lives that means a lot to us. There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was with Lauri Taylor our even manager who was working with us through the whole experience. Even when we decided to postpone our wedding and gained another event manager for a short time we were still overjoyed with the service and care we received no matter what. Not only was this venue the full package with the ballrooms, courtyard, decor, food and beverage, but also included the hotel aspect for our guest all under one roof. Our wedding day was spectacular and beautiful to say the least. Lauri, her team, and the various hotel staff took care of us and our guest very well all weekend until the very end. We could not express how much fun we had as well. I could go on and on about how much I would recommend this establishment for events and lodging but there isn't nearly enough time. :) For now I thank the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center for everything you did in making our wedding THE BEST DAY EVER!

The Best!!!

2 years ago when my wife and I dedicated a weekend to tour possible wedding venues, we struck gold. The AT&T Hotel and Conference Center was our 1st stop. We were greeted by Lauri Taylor and she gave us an amazing tour. She was so down to Earth, personable, and extremely genuine. After the tour ended, I looked at my wife and we both said to each other, “this is the one! Let’s cancel the other tours!”.

2 years later and we made the right decision. With the complications of Covid, we had to postpone our wedding by a year. Lauri was always with us every step of the way. Lauri was always accommodating with a smile on her face. She made our wedding flawless and perfect.

To the higher ups at AT&T Hotel, please take some time to consider promoting Lauri and giving her a serious pay raise. She is the face of AT&T Hotel and is the epitome of professionalism and grace.

10/10 wedding experience!

Lauri and the entire team at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center truly made all of our wedding dreams come true! All of our family and friends are still talking about how great the appetizers, food, drinks, venue and entire wedding night were. None of this would’ve been possible without Lauri going above and beyond to make everything happen and make sure our vision came to life. The quality of the food was amazing, the service was incredible, and the whole experience as bride and groom at the hotel was one we will never forget! On the day of the wedding, Lauri made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Dream wedding at AT&T

We enjoyed every single moment of planning and hosting our wedding at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center! We decided to check out the venue as it was right across the street from our church where we knew we would have our ceremony, and it exceeded every expectation. Lauri and her team were absolutely phenomenal. She was also available and accessible, and her expertise was so helpful in making decisions. The highlight of this venue was the DELICIOUS food!! From brunch for the bridesmaids getting ready room, lunch for the groomsmen, cocktail hour oers d’ouevres, and of course dinner, everything was phenomenal! So many of our guests are still reaching out to us talking about how amazing the food was. The Grand Ballroom has such a natural beauty and it paired perfectly with our decor, and there were so many additional perks of this venue. Most of our guests were out of town, and they ended up staying at the hotel as well, which was so nice. We frequented the hotel bar, which served as the perfect backdrop for our afterparty! Cannot say enough amazing things about how much we loved this venue and how perfect it was for our wedding! To Lauri and the team, we owe you a million thank yous!!

AT&T Conference Center/ 1900 Grand Ballroom is a wonderful place to have your next event! The staff and employees are super friendly and the customer service was excellent. We had our wedding recently at the Conference Center and could not be happier with everything. Kara was the senior catering sales manager and she was so sweet and helpful throughout our whole wedding planning process! She responded to all of our emails and phone calls within a few hours and would always make the time to meet or talk with us if we had any questions. Many of our family and friends stayed at the rooms in the conference center and everyone couldn't stop raving about the great customer service and cleanliness of the rooms. The food on our wedding day was amazing!! We got so many compliments on it! The staff, Anthony and Lauri was present on our wedding day to help make it go very smoothly and it did! Thank you AT&T for taking all of our stress away on our wedding day so we could enjoy it!! I would highly recommend this venue to all my Friends and Family looking to have a event! They will take care of you and make sure you and your guests have a great time! :)

If you want it all, use the AT&T Center!! I am still amazed at what my wedding was using this venue. I was able to have my dream outdoor ceremony (with an indoor plan B) and indoor reception!! My guest also had the added bonus of staying at the venue with amazing rooms and rates. The courtyard was a beautiful setting and they allowed me to bring in what I needed to really set the tone (though it didn't take much!). My reception was perfect in the Grand Ballroom which accommodated all of my guests more then comfortably, had a great dancefloor, and was beautiful to begin with!! Aside from the setting and location, the food was TO DIE FOR!!! I went to my tasting and wanted to lick every plate!! I was even more amazed when the large scale serving for everyone was just as good as the small tasting they made me. I have guests that STILL rave to me and everyone about the food, and many now visit The Carillion restaurant (located in the venue - who caters the events) because of my wedding. I also had a bar at my wedding and the servers were amazing, courteous, and made great drinks!

I had a smaller budget then most, but was able to get MORE then what I wanted with this venue. It was the perfect one-stop-shop that doesn't skimp anywhere. The staff, from the coordinator to the booking agents, to the wait staff, were very professional and attentive. I highly recommend this venue for any Bride and Groom!!

Working with the AT&T center was such a pleasure! Jessica, my catering manager, helped organize every detail with me and it was such an easy process. They have in-house lighting with Swank AV - working with them was great as well. Very professional and on top of things. They provided all chairs/tables/linens with no extra costs for more tables or more chairs, etc. Their house linens are ivory and it looked great, neutral and didn't take away from the beautiful room or the wedding decor.

AT&T has multiple food and beverage packages and it was so easy to go through them and discuss swapping a few things here or there - they were so flexible and accommodating. Once we settled on a food package we loved, we scheduled our food tasting. The food at the tasting was amazing! We were so thrilled we were in good hands for some great food, which was very important to us.

The day of the wedding everything went very smooth (from what I heard) but all I know is when I walked into that ballroom it was flawless! Absolutely gorgeous! And not only was the food great at the tasting - the food was outstanding the day of our wedding! Best wedding food I've ever had and so thrilled it was at my wedding! We got so many compliments on the food and how wonderful it was. The staff was so accommodating and brought us food and drink and cake, we felt like a prince and princess! What a wonderful day!

AT&T was a great one stop shop that was SO easy to work with and made our day fabulous. We are so glad we picked this venue for our reception.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
