Neill-Cochran House Museum Reviews

We had a small wedding (50-55) at the Neill Cochran House Museum on 12/29/23. Perfect central location in Austin, west of UT campus in an incredibly beautiful antebellum home.
The outside patio with string lights and a fountain provided a stunning and comfortable place for the ceremony and the home inside was perfect for the cocktail and dinner reception. The director, Karen, and staff, Gene and Loren, were amazing to work with and went the extra mile+ to make sure all the details went smoothly.
Highly recommend the Neill Cochran House Museum for your venue!!

I recently had my wedding here and cannot say enough great things! The venue that we had previously booked had extensive water damage and had to cancel our wedding date. Andrea, the business and programming director, was a god send and came to the rescue. I contacted her with my frantic emails, and even though she was on medical leave she responded immediately and very throughly. She answered EVERY single question I had (and trust me, I had a lot), and helped with other aspects of my planning that I didn’t even think of.

The venue itself is beautiful, there are various options for inside/outside reception plans, and it comes fully furnished. The value of this place was amazing. Everywhere else I looked in the vicinity (central Austin) was at least double or triple the price. Plus they provided tables and chairs without a fee, and enough parking spaces for all our guests. We had about 50 people at our wedding and it was the perfect size.

We had our wedding at NCH Museum on Saturday August 17th 2019 and it was just the most beautiful/perfect venue for our special day. All the photos are stunning because the venue truly is beautiful.

Such an amazing venue, at such a reasonable price. My wife and I were married there recently, and we can't say enough about how great the atmosphere and the staff are.

The venue, staff and grounds could not have been more perfect! We had 90 guests under tent on the side lawn. Andrea Perry was fabulous! Details and concerns were always addressed in a professional and kind manner. If you want a perfect event, an experienced and helpful staff...this is the place! We live in PA and did most of the planning telephonically with two site visits. Our evening could not have been more perfect. If you would like details, please contact me at leslie3510@yahoo.com.

We got married at the Neill-Cochran House Museum earlier this fall and absolutely loved it. Andrea, the Manager at NCHM was an absolute pleasure to work with. We held both our ceremony and reception at the museum and I have to say, Andrea could not have been more accommodating. The museum has an absolutely gorgeous and sizable yard. We were able to hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing for 110+ people all in separate areas of the outdoor space without needing to flip any of the spaces. Additionally, guests were allowed to venture into the museum and we used the indoor space for our dessert table and coffee cart. While planning the wedding, I came by several times with our different vendors and each and every time, Andrea made it easy to plan and was flexible and accommodating to arrange the walk-throughs. We are so happy that we found this hidden gem and will be forever grateful for what an amazing evening we had here!

Definitely an underused facility for weddings! Beautiful house with area outside for a tent! We had a beautiful wedding here and enjoyed the great value as everything was included - use of house, food and drinks! Would definitely recommend as a wedding reception venue.

This is an underappreciated and under used venue. Our October 2013 wedding was gorgeous here...we had the dinner in a tent under the trees and the food and a bar was setup inside. A beautiful setting and a pretty reasonable price. I loved it.
The house manager changed right after our wedding and I've not dealt with the new folks, but our experience was good.
