Gorgeous, Kind, & Helpful

We chose The Allan House for our April 30, 2022 wedding because the venue matched my husband's classic taste and style, had a great flow throughout the house and courtyard, and just felt like a naturally beautiful, neutral backdrop for our otherwise colorful event. I truly feel this venue can be taken a hundred different aesthetic directions to match the style of the couple. We were also *so* charmed by courtyard's old trees and greenery -- it felt like a sweet, natural refuge in the heart of the city. A fun floral color palette pops beautifully against the greenery!

We chose The Allan House for our April 30, 2022 wedding because the venue matched my husband's classic taste and style, had a great flow throughout the house and courtyard, and just felt like a naturally beautiful, neutral backdrop for our otherwise colorful event. I truly feel this venue can be taken a hundred different aesthetic directions to match the style of the couple. We were also *so* charmed by courtyard's old trees and greenery -- it felt like a sweet, natural refuge in the heart of the city. A fun floral color palette pops beautifully against the greenery! And after dark, the twinkly lights in the trees set a beautiful ambience and were so magical for dancing the night away. I will also add, as a lover of color, that adding streamers overhead amidst the tree branches was such a BIG, FUN touch.

Though the venue is gorgeous on its own, Juliana is the real star of the show. A joy to work with throughout our years of planning, Juliana was always quick to respond to questions, accommodating to new ideas, and just a great communicator with both us and our planner. Her expertise is also apparent in all the wonderful connections she has throughout the wedding industry - other vendors spoke highly of her and the venue throughout planning. Juliana's support and calm, collected manner were most helpful when having to make the decision to nix a rain tent at the very last minute. She didn't have to be involved in that decision, but we super appreciated that one more person was helping us make the tough call - and that she was invested in helping us have the best day possible for our wedding!

Overall, every piece of our special day fell into place perfectly at The Allan House, as if it was all meant to come together in that space. Vendors are comfortable working within the venue's space. And due to its history in the events scene, I feel the best planners know how to really spice this gem up to make it special for the couple. Guests loved the space as well - the balconies were wonderful for cocktail hour as the courtyard was transitioned from ceremony to reception. (Note: inside the house can get very loud when guests are mingling, which made me appreciate the balconies even more.)

A few tips/notes from our experience: 1) The upper balcony was perfect for capturing portraits at golden hour, and it was refreshing to step away from the party for a few quiet moments with just our photographer and videographer. 2) The bride and groom suites worked perfect for our group -- we did not have a bridal party or groomsmen, just our immediate family members present to help us get ready. All hair/makeup was done off-site. 3) I was slightly nervous about the aesthetics and quality of the courtyard sound booth but everyone assured me it would be great. They were right -- the DJ and other musicians that played throughout the evening sounded awesome, and the booth itself just fades into the background. It felt positioned perfectly to pull guests from all corners of the courtyard onto the dance floor when a crowd-pleaser played. 4) I was unsure how dancing on the cobblestones would be, and some ladies definitely had sore feet in their (block) heels, but there were zero issues and guests enjoyed all types of dance.

We love, love, loved our wedding day and The Allan House was the perfect venue for our colorful, party-forward, cocktail style, laidback event. I would recommend it to any other couple who appreciates the natural beauty of the venue, and that enjoys convenient proximity to the city. (Guests enjoyed spilling out of our event to a nearby, walkable bar to continue their night! ;))

Brittany & Aaron wedding

My daughter’s wedding was hosted here on March 14,2024. Emily was awesome and Zach was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about these two. They jumped in and helped and was always asking how things were going. Great facility to have ceremony, cocktail hour, photos and reception. Highly recommend The Allan House.

Amazing wedding venue!

The Allan House was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved the flexibility they offered compared to some of the other options we explored. The worked seamlessly with our other vendors (caterer, coordinator, band and sound, etc) and the wedding went very smoothly. The location was perfect and all of our out of town guest were able to stay in hotels nearby and walk/uber to the venue. The parking is ample as well for those driving. We definitely recommend considering the Allan House as the venue for your wedding!

Why we picked the Allan House

Was looking for a venue while living out of state that was central to both our families. The Allan House was the 2nd venue I looked at and I fell in love with it immediately site unseen. I really wanted a garden style wedding and the courtyard area they have was exactly what I wanted. We also fell in love with the large porch that fit our dinner table perfectly. It is such a lovely venue. Also loved how welcoming they were with us being an LGBTQ+ couple.

Beautiful historic venue in downtown Austin

The Allan House is a beautiful venue that’s easily accessible within downtown Austin and ideal if you want your wedding near the heart of the city. Since our wedding was held during autumn, we had concerns about getting married on a UT game day given the traffic considerations for our guests, but everyone had a smooth experience getting to the venue. Juliana was highly responsive to questions throughout our planning process and was very accommodating to our requests. We were grateful to work with her in planning our event, and she did a great job working with all of our vendors.

The venue parking was more than adequate for our 120 guests, and with proper directions, no one encountered difficulties on where to go. We do recommend additional lighting for anyone planning an afternoon outdoor wedding as the provided lighting is only enough to help move around - some of our guests did have a little bit of difficulty reading speeches outdoors as it progressed into the evening. If you want an outdoor wedding that is intimate and private within downtown Austin, this is the venue to go with!

So worth it!

We *loved* Allan House and are so grateful we booked it! We loved the idea of an outdoor wedding, but the cost and hassle of tent rentals was just too much, plus I didn't want to have to create the whole thing from scratch. The winter tent is a dream, and the venue is so gorgeous I honestly didn't do much extra by way of decorations. We did mid-December which was great as everything as still green. Guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was, and since we were a mostly out of town wedding, the location was perfect so people didn't feel the need to rent a car. Working with Juliana was great--she was responsive, helpful,...

It was in-line with other venues from a price standpoint, but offered so much more. Would make the same choice again, no question.

Dreamy Downtown Austin Venue

We were married here in early December 2021 and had the most perfect day. Juliana helped with every question we had, the space was exactly what we imagined, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how magical the space was. With the December booking, we received the "Winter Tent" free of charge and it was perfectly temperature controlled. We had 150 guests and they all fit with some room to spare. This venue is easy to access from any hotel downtown and has ample parking included if needed at a nearby lot. Highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a central Austin location without the crazy downtown pricing. 10/10!

Simply the best!!

If you are looking for a unique, historic venue, I cannot recommend the Allan House highly enough. We celebrated our rehearsal dinner with an intimate meal for around 30-40 of our close family and friends on the porch and it was truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen (of course we had gorgeous September weather on top of everything else). Frankly, it’s taken me several months to try to put into words how truly special it was (and I still think the photographs do it more justice).

The Allan House lends itself to so many different styles of events, not only intimate gatherings like ours, but I’ve also been fortunate to attend stunner outdoor weddings with the winter tent (which is absolutely incredible, even on the rainiest of days). There are so many noteworthy aspects to the space and there really aren’t any other venues like it in Austin.
I am biased, but can say confidently that Juliana is a treasure and it’s clear why others in the wedding industry hold her in the highest regard. You would be in great hands if you decided to host an event here.

Beautiful and historic right in downtown ATX

My husband and I started our venue search in the middle of Covid - so many venues were booking quickly due to couples rescheduling to 2021, and others were closing down due to not having business in 2020. We were so lucky to be able to snag a date at The Allan House. Julianna was able to host a virtual tour with us and my parents and then show us around in person after. She was so on top of providing answers to any questions we had and keeping in touch regarding dates we were interested in.

The venue is BEAUTIFUL with the large oak trees and wraparound porch. We could not have asked for more, and the team was all-star on top of it all.

Idyllic Venue

When searching for wedding venues, my husband and made plans to tour some locations to help us decide where we wanted to go (pre-pandemic). Once we arrived, walked around, and talked to Julianna (wedding planning binder in hand) we just loved the place. It was our first stop and nothing beat it!

Settling on a date, and understanding the plethora of rentals included (tables and chairs for 150+ guests) just made the decision that much easier! Juliana was so warm and kind, and worked seamlessly with our coordinator (Mockingbird Lane Events-truly another amazing wedding must-have!) When we requested an additional half-hour for our catering staff, the transaction was quick and reasonable.

Getting married during a global pandemic is sure to cause some headaches, but there was never any issues with communication with Juliana and ensuring we moved forward. My father even contacted her over a year ahead of time to help with research for hotels since majority of our guests were from out of town. She provided a list and professional suggestions about what was worth our time and energy.

The Allan House was absolutely perfect for our quiet, classic yet laid back style of wedding. This backdrop made all of our guests look even more stunning, and the tree lit up at night was gorgeous. Highly suggest The Allan House. You can't go wrong with a beautiful and historic home for your weddings or party needs!

The Allan House is so charming and beautiful. Such a dreamy place to get married or have any kind of event. I have had the pleasure of coordinating many weddings here and I can honestly say I have never had an unhappy client.

Highly recommend!

Beautiful venue, could be more forgiving during the pandemic

I would give The Allan House 4.5 stars. It is a beautiful venue in downtown Austin. Parking is easy for a smaller wedding. The outdoor courtyard and beautiful overhanging tree is beautiful for a wedding. There is a bridal suite on the main floor, and a groom's suite in the basement. 1/4 star knocked off because the bridal suite was not the best for makeup application. I think most brides get ready in another location, but since all of my bridesmaids were traveling into town I wanted us all in the same place and not have to lug our things across town. The bridal suite consists of a bathroom, couch/seating area and what looks to be a dining area...

I think most brides get ready in another location, but since all of my bridesmaids were traveling into town I wanted us all in the same place and not have to lug our things across town. The bridal suite consists of a bathroom, couch/seating area and what looks to be a dining area near the front. The HMUA found that the only room with good light was the front dining room, which made it so that guests could see us all getting ready upon entering.

The price does include many rentals of which we used bistro tables for cocktail hour, and the round tables and matching chairs for the ceremony and reception. It is a popular venue in Austin, so many of our vendors were already familiar with the place which made things run smoothly.

I knock off another 1/4 star rating due to price. I booked the Allan House after cancelling my overseas wedding. There was a great discount for a few months, and we decided to book. There was a second wave happening in Austin, so we decided to postpone by a few months. While they were easy to work with, they were also quick to add additional charges on top of the deposit already paid to reschedule. An additional charge for postponing during a global pandemic? I would have hoped they would be more flexible to people's need to postpone due to a rise in cases.

The Allan House's reply:

Hi Samantha! We loved working with you on your wedding, and your pictures are stunning! Thank you so much for choosing The Allan House.

Your insight on the bridal suite rooms & your experience having your hair and make up done on our property is invaluable, so thank you for including this. As you mentioned, most of our clients do not choose to have their hair and make up done on-site, and if they do they are typically finished hours before guests are set to arrive, so this isn't something we have run into previously. However it is good information to have, and we will be sure to share that knowledge with future clients who have similar timelines...

We had our dream wedding at the Allan House

We had an outside ceremony and reception at the Allan House in October 2020. They have a beautiful courtyard and amenities. This historic house is so beautiful in the heart of downtown Austin! Their staff is lovely to work with. I would definitely recommend the Allan House to everyone for a wedding or any other event

Southern home in the city

I love this place. It’s a total Southern Brides dream. It’s like a country/French country side like venue in the middle of the city. It was in our opinion reasonably priced compared to a lot of venues. Love all the trees and lights. Very naturally beautiful!
Had bridal and grooms suites. Stunning at night. Great spot for if you have a smaller wedding and need a rain option to go indoors. We had Specs and HEB deliver alcohol and mixers straight to the venue.
Everyone pretty much Uber’s to the venue or there’s some street parking.

Insensitive and not flexible surrounding COVID-19

Don't get me wrong, The Allan House is gorgeous! That is why it gets two stars. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and both my and my partners job loss because of it, we had to cancel our wedding. Several of our guests have also lost their jobs, and would not be able attend the wedding also. However, even through an international pandemic, we are not able to get a refund of our deposit from the venue (even though we cancelled several months ahead of the wedding). It would be nice for a business to have some grace through such a hard time, much like our other vendors, but The Allan House does not. I would not recommend this venue.

The Allan House's reply:

Thank you so much for letting us know how you feel. We are truly sorry for the hardships you and your partner have been facing surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, and we're sorry that you won't be hosting your wedding at our venue this October. I can only hope your feedback helps us improve our communication with clients about the policies in our contract.

This pandemic has been extremely difficult for so many individuals and small businesses alike, but we have been striving to serve our clients as best we can as we navigate this difficult time together. We have been facilitating postponements for many of our events, and I would be happy to discuss that option with you, if you choose...

Perfect Venue to create your dream wedding!

The Allan House was the first and only venue we looked at. We knew immediately that this was where we wanted to hold our wedding. Juliana was an absolute pleasure to work with and helped us to make our wedding dreams come true. With the tent being included in the winter package we were able to deck out the Allan House and bring our vision to life! We would recommend the venue to anyone looking to have a magical wedding in the trees!

Fantastic venue!

The Allan House is a gorgeous and historic venue in Austin. Julianna was responsive and helpful during the entire planning process. We used quite a few of their recommended vendors and were very impressed by how flawlessly they worked together to help make our wedding wishes a reality.

The winter tent was beautiful and allowed us to not worry about the weather on our wedding day. The tent provided an intimate atmosphere for the ceremony and reception and was easy to decorate.

I would HIGHLY recommend the Allan House to anyone looking for a memorable wedding or event venue.

Communication with Juliana was very easy, she always responded in a timely manner and answered all my questions! The only downside to the venue is that it doesn’t include parking. However, I still highly recommend!

Allan House made us feel special

Allan House was a perfect whimsically romantic venue for our January wedding. It was definitely not your hotel banquet room or rustic barn. What really attracted us to Allan House was the location in downtown Austin as well as the complimentary heated tent during the winter months (Dec - Feb). We had a lot of out of town guests and decided that a wedding right after the holidays would be the most ideal for everyone. A lot of the other venues did not offer the heated tent and it was perfect for an evening winter wedding. We also, loved the twinkly lights and majestic tree in the middle of the tent.

Experiencing the City of Austin!

The Allan House was the perfect location for the outdoor twinkly-light wedding I have always dreamed of.

My husband and I both grew up in Illinois, so we had mostly out-of-town guests coming to Austin for our wedding. We looked at many venues in the hill country that we loved, but when it came down to it, we wanted our guests to experience the city of Austin that we loved, and having the ceremony at the Allan House did just that.

Juliana was great always quick to respond to the questions and requests we threw at her!

I loved our courtyard twinkly-light wedding - it was better than my dreams :)

Gorgeous Wedding Venue

I got married at the Allan House in downtown Austin on September 2019. The venue is an outdoor venue so you will need to have a rain plan. However, we rented a tent through Marquee Events, who has a custom tent plan for the Allan House. It is so beautiful with the tent, lighting, and chandeliers! However, BEWARE that if you implement the rain plan, any other weddings on the same weekend must agree to the tent. This could be good because you could split the costs or bad if the other couples have bad communication.

I had about 130 guests and it did not feel crowded. The venue does require a space flip, but our catering...

I had about 130 guests and it did not feel crowded. The venue does require a space flip, but our catering company took care of it. My wedding pictures look so beautiful, especially the huge tree in the courtyard. I was able to rent a parking lot next to the venue for a great price. It had 50 spots. It was perfect because I got married on a Friday and did not want my guests to pay for street parking.

It was very easy to communicate with Juliana (the manager).

Note: Allan House will rent the tent for you (free) if you get married during winter.

Wedding 3.29.19

The Allan House is an incredible venue. Juliana was awesome to work with. She answered all of our emails quickly and was there for us from start to finish. The venue provides so much for the price and it was the smartest decision we made! We had the perfect weather and the backyard looked like a dream for our wedding. We picked all of our vendors through the preferred vendors list and they all were incredible and everything went smoothly the day of. I wish we could relive that night again!

A perfect evening!

My Daughter had her wedding at the Allan House, located in the heart of Austin in April 2019. We had about 90 people and the Allan House and grounds perfectly accommodated us for the ceremony, cocktails & appetizers, dinner and dancing. It was beautiful! They provide all the tables and chairs for the evening activities. It was also very accessible for our guests with a parking lot (rented extra) right by the venue. Additionally, they worked very well with all our other vendors. Juliana, the manager, was informative, responsive and always eager to help. I would look forward to having another event at the Allan House.
