    Stunning and Elegant Venue

    My husband and I chose the Mansion because we frequented their swing dance nights during our dating days. It holds a special place in our hearts, and since it's so beautiful, it was the perfect place for us to host our wedding reception. Booking and confirming details with their staff was so easy. The bridal room is stunning, and the many rooms were perfect for guests to mingle during cocktail hour. Since the Mansion allows outside vendors, we were able to make the day exactly what we wanted with drinks, food, and decor. The only thing I wish I knew to budget was ice and cooling containers for the drinks. The Mansion does not have an ice maker, so you'll have to provide that as well as coolers or bins to keep your drinks cool. Other than that little detail, it was perfect!

    The Mansion is a dream spot!

    We had our wedding at The Mansion last month and it was amazing!! After our long wait to have our wedding this spot lived up to the hype. The venue itself is gorgeous. The courtyard was beautiful spot for the ceremony and it is connected to the ball room. Guest were taking pictures all around the venue through out the night. Due to covid we had to postpone our wedding three times in the last year. Mari and the staff at The Mansion were so easy to work with and extremely helpful as we were rescheduling. Cannot stress enough how helpful Mari was through out the whole planning process. She was extremely communicative and timely. She also had recommended vendors for several things we needed, which is always extremely helpful. We had the most perfect day, and I would recommend this place to anyone!

    Texas Federation of Women’s Clubs Mansion's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words, Lucy! It was such a pleasure to work with you. It was a long time coming, so I'm so happy to hear your day was perfect! Best wishes.

    the perfect venue!

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the TFWC in March and couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue! Not only was the courtyard beautiful for an outdoor ceremony and the ballroom breathtaking for the reception, but Mari, the manager, was so great to work with! It's a historic building with southern charms and so many of my guests commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was. Not only that but they allow outside catering so I was able to have New Fortune Restaurant cater an 8 course asian banquet and had an open bar for a fraction of what I would've paid elsewhere. Another great thing about the Fed is that it's in downtown Austin making if convenient for guests since it's only a 5 minute uber ride from their hotels instead of an hour bus ride to Dripping Springs. We absolutely recommend this venue for any bride who wants a unique venue with lots of character and charm rather than the typical hotel ballroom.

    Amazing Place for a Wedding!

    My husband and I had our wedding at the TFWC Mansion, and we were so pleased with how it turned out. We worked with Mari throughout the planning process, and she was more than accommodating when it came to our questions and visits to double check the space. The price point for the venue is very reasonable, especially in comparison to other wedding venues. We were able to go with a Saturday wedding instead of Sunday because the prices were so similar. It was also greatly convenient having rentals available through the venue. We arrived the day of, and the tables and chairs were all set up and ready to go how we wanted, and we were able to leave them at the end of the night. Overall, we were so happy with our experience at the Mansion.

    Texas Federation of Women’s Clubs Mansion's reply:

    Thanks, Makayla! I'm so happy to hear that all went so well. I really enjoyed working with you and wish you and your husband the best.

    Dream Come True

    The Mansion was an absolute dream to get married in. My husband and I had our ceremony in the courtyard, cocktail hour in the front rooms, and the dinner/reception in the ballroom. The Mansion has so much charm, history, and beauty so you don't have to add much to make for a stunning wedding. Our guests were so impressed and we received many compliments. We could not have been happier with our experience here. An added bonus is that my parents got married here 35 years ago so The Mansion is extra special to us and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

    The perfect venue! It was the first one I looked at and the other ones couldn’t compare! Everyone who works there is incredibly nice and professional. It was easy to set up multiple walk throughs during the planning process with a quick email!

    Our guests could not say enough wonderful things about this venue. It’s natural decor makes decorating easy and simple. The Mansion is gorgeous from the moment you walk into the front door to the ballroom in the back. We had about 120 guests and The Mansion’s size and multiple rooms makes having a larger group feel less crowded. From the moment my husband and I went to look at the venue Mari has been nothing but helpful and patient. She was always quick to respond to our emails and made this part of the planning process easy. Thanks Mari!

    TFWC Mansion is a wonderful Austin wedding venue that is centrally located where your guests can easily get to and from. It has a built in rain plan and a few ceremony space options. This venue was one of the only ones in the city that can comfortably accommodate more than 150 guests at a reasonable price and not to mention how beautiful the venue is without much need for extra decor. Mari, the venue manager, is absolutely phenomenal to work with.

    The Mansion was the PERFECT choice for our wedding venue! The ambience and unique characteristics of the venue suited our personal aesthetics to the detail and we loved how welcoming the space was for our large guest list. Mari was a breeze to work with and we were floored by the amazing value of the venue for everything you got. We brought in some outside vendors to assist with extra decor here and there, but honestly, we could have had the same event with very little extra brought in and it still would have looked wonderful. This is a fantastic (and very central) Austin venue and we are glad to have had made one of our biggest life memories here!

    The Mansion was the ideal venue for our daughter’s wedding reception. Not only is the traditional architecture stunning and accommodating, it was a comfort to know the venue could handle our daughter’s moving-target guest list. All the etiquette books assured us most of her invitees would be on vacation in July, but when guest number 300 RSVP’d, we rested in the assurance that everyone would have a seat while every dancer would have room to Wobble. Mari was a delight to work with throughout every phase of the planning; she was not only professional, but flexible and hospitable, like the southern manor she represents. At the end of the night, we had future brides saying they can’t wait to book the venue, and young married couples regretting they hadn’t checked it out. The Mansion is definitely the best “bang for your buck” in Austin!

    Finding a wedding venue in Austin can be difficult, especially depending on the time of year you are looking for. We had visited several venues around town, and we kept running into venues that either A) were full-service: provided food, cake, rentals, etc...which could end up being really pricey and gives you less control; or B) were just an empty room in a venue that wasn't really intended to hold weddings and would require a lot of work to plan/organize/make wedding appropriate. We finally came across the TFWC mansion and from the instant we walked in the front doors, we knew we had found our place. The building is truly stunning and has so much charm and character.

    We worked with Mari who is so sweet and knowledgeable. She has seen a lot of events/weddings take place here, so she has a lot of great advice. She was always very easy to reach when we did have questions. We rented the whole house and held our ceremony and reception in the grand ballroom (big blue room at the back of the house), with a cocktail hour/room flip in between. During the cocktail hour/room flip, our guests went back to the front of the house, where we had passed hors d'oeuvres and wine/beer/cocktails.

    I can't imagine a more perfect venue for us than the TFWC mansion. We were so, so pleased with how everything came together and absolutely recommend this venue to others.

    Absolutely beautiful venue for a wedding! The ballroom is magical and HUGE, the courtyard is intimate and picturesque, and the front parlors are perfect for cocktail hour. It was a great one stop shop for our whole wedding day, and the icing on the cake is the fact that you get to pick all your own vendors and are able to save a ton of money on alcohol since it's byob, so you just need bartenders :)
    Mari was our venue coordinator, and she was always quick to respond, allowed me to come see the venue numerous times between booking and the big day, and coordinated the chair and table rentals (even after I realized I had just missed the date I was supposed to order by), basically, Mari was wonderful! The only thing I wish was allowed, was if we could have left some of the bigger props until the next morning to pick up, but everything had to be out by the end time of your reserved hours (this is probably because they host so many weddings though, and often have one the next day, so it totally makes sense). Overall, it was a dream venue right in the heart of Austin <3

    The texas fed mansion was perfect for our wedding. Great central location, perfect size, no decorations needed, great ceremony spot, enough room to take pictures, paid parking... It was perfect! Mari was extremely helpful! We are so glad we had our wedding here!

    The Mansion was a perfect place to host our August wedding. There was a lovely courtyard in the shade for the ceremony, and the gorgeous air-conditioned ballroom was perfect for the reception. Furthermore, because it is in the heart of the city, friends could stay at nearby hotels and take taxis instead of driving. Mari was a breeze to work with - she responded to all emails within hours, answered my many questions, and met with me several times at the venue. If you want an easy, gorgeous place to have a wedding, you can't go wrong with the Mansion.

    What a lovely venue. It hardly even needs decor it's breathtaking as is!

    Other reasons we loved it:
    - Mari was always quick to answer questions.
    - They had tables and pretty chairs to rent there, it was nice I didn't have to worry about renting those.
    - Amazing place to have pictures.
    - Courtyard was gorgeous, too!
    - No pressure to choose particular vendors.
    - Location!, and offered parking spots!

    The Mansion was the perfect setting for our special day! The courtyard and ballroom were just gorgeous and Mari, the event coordinator was super helpful throughout the whole process. We also really appreciated the flexibility in being able to use whatever vendors we chose for the occasion. It was the perfect place in so many ways!

    Absolutely in LOVE with my venue. It was the first place we looked at and once we were in the ballroom I knew we had found our place. The courtyard is so cute and our pictures look amazing. Mari was a dream to work with, she made everything so easy! We had to shell out extra money for added time and we also had to rent tables and chairs. This added on another $1250 or so to the price. Definitely worth it!

    THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER to host a wedding :) I went to 15-20 places in Austin, and ended up having my wedding here 2 months ago. Mari, the event planner was so thorough and sweet with the entire process. You dont have to worry about the music being too loud, which vendors you have to use, etc., NO RULES! If you are a bride planning everything yourself, it means a lot to choose your own vendors-- all of which who have already worked with TWFC and know their kitchen, their space, etc. Also a little secret... Since its a non-profit, you can hire a bartender who is certified, and bring in whoever you want. Its wayyy cheaper, and allows you have open bar without the crazy cost. You can go to Specs and buy it all yourself, and RETURN whatever bottles you dont end up using! Check out their Pinterest page, it gives really good ideas, especially for lighting!!

    If I were asked to sum up the TFWC mansion as a wedding venue…..perfect. My wife and I were feeling a bit stressed about planning our Austin wedding in October from San Francisco but knew it had to be here as soon we saw the character and learned of its history. Mari was just great with the coordination and communicating long distance over email and by phone. Our family and friends still have not stopped talking about how beautiful our wedding was and the amazing night they had at the TFWCM. I def recommend the mansion to others looking for a spacious, beautiful, elegant, classic, vintage, wedding venue.

    The mansion was the perfect place for our wedding reception. Mari and her staff were great and had excellent vendor recommendations. It was such a joy to walk into the main ballroom and see all our friends and family waiting for us as we had imagined! The venue is naturally so beautiful that we didn't need to do any additional decoration, it's well air-conditioned, and the acoustics were great. We had about 150 guests seated comfortably with a large dance floor in the ballroom. We also enjoyed the fact that our payment for reserving the space goes toward the preservation of the mansion, a place my wife and I are obviously very happy to support!

    We knew we wanted to get married at the Mansion before we even got engaged. A friend of mine had gotten married there several years ago, and I just knew when I saw the photos that I wanted to get married there. We looked at several other places, but I knew that this was 'the' place. Mari was wonderful, and let us sneak in several times to check something out, or show one of our family members the venue. It is just such a gorgeous place, and it really made our wedding. I was so happy with everyone I spoke with there, everyone was so nice. And, they even took down the scary china dolls for Travis. :)

    Austin is a very competitive city for wedding venues due to its young population and limited number of quality venues! The Mansion is almost completely unique in this city for being a spacious, centrally located, beautiful, affordable wedding venue with parking. Believe me, I did the research! Especially if you're having a large wedding of 150+ people, there really are very few other options within the city limits. The Mansion is a non-profit and they are honest and fair with their pricing. The building is also incredibly beautiful and historically interesting. Every time I walk in, I forget how gorgeous it is and have to catch my breath. It's really an extremely impressive work of architecture. Photos don't do the space justice. It needs very little additional decor.

    My husband and I got married here on 6/3/17 and I have no complaints whatsoever about the venue or its management. Mari is a wonderful, kind and patient woman who graciously put up with a lot of confusion and questions from the bride and mother of the bride. She also kindly allowed us to come in the day before our wedding and set up some of our décor, since they hadn't booked another wedding that day. The Mansion provides chairs and tables for rent and allows you to work with any outside vendors of your choice. Most of the big name wedding vendors in Austin are familiar with The Mansion.

    Texas Federation of Women’s Clubs Mansion's reply:

    Hi Katherine,

    Thank you for your gracious feedback. It was a pleasure working with all of you! We wish you the best.

    Kind regards,

    Mari
