The Caswell House

date based on availability here and well worth it. Craig (groundskeeper) was AMAZING the day of our wedding. The weather worked out well for us, and our guests had a great time on the balcony with the beautiful view of the Capitol. We went with their preferred vendor for our caterer which was a great call because the food was delicious and everything went smoothly. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

it's beautiful, requires very little additional decoration, is next to downtown, has yard space, porches, I could go on. Everything went smoothly and Craig will take care of clean-up for a reasonable fee. You can also bring in your own food vendors, alcohol, etc making this one of the best values for a wedding.

ake the most of the space. Because our wedding was on the larger side for the space (100 people), the staff recommended a "heavy appetizer" meal with only a few sit down tables and then a bunch of cocktail tables, which worked out extremely well and got people we up dancing and hanging out on the porch all night, even on a rainy night. The views of the capitol building and Austin skyline are amazing. Both in the planning and on the day of the caretaker, Craig, was very helpful and struck the right balance of providing direction but letting us do what we felt was best. He was very responsive for setting up walk through and rehearsal. He was one of our bartenders and hired another bar tender for the night, and everyone loved them both. Most of our out of town guests stayed at the Doubletree downtown and didn't even have to rent a car for the weekend because they could walk to the venue and to many place around downtown/ campus area. This house has everything you need for a medium size downtown wedding.

upstairs for the reception, as well as areas for getting ready. Craig, the caretaker, was great to work with. He also provided bartending and clean-up services for us for a very reasonable fee. It was also important to us to know that our money was going to a non-profit, rather than someone's pockets. We had some initial difficulties with responsiveness when trying to schedule a time to tour the venue; we ended up just walking in during their open hours and got a wonderful tour. We had no issues with communication after the tour and none after booking. I would definitely recommend this venue to others!

ions. The price was right for use of the whole house. The people are fantastic and I would recommend this venue to all. Thank you for making my daughters dream come true.

wedding and reception. Bryan and Craig were flawless in their help and ideas.

ith and went out of their way to make my wedding day perfect. They also work very well with the other vendors you use. If you are in Austin and are having a small wedding, definitely use the Caswell House!

o give it a personal feel. It was comfortable and charming and I can't say enough about the amazing staff (Craig and Bryan are superstars)! Couldn't be happier with our choice!

ith a few small touches we were able to personalize the space with our colors. Craig is a master at working with stressed brides to make sure they know how everything works in the house. He also offers a variety of other services such as bartending and clean-up. Overall, the Caswell House was the perfect venue for my wedding and I was happy to see the money going to such a good organization.

s of helpful advice on how to make our wedding run smoothly. Our guests enjoyed exploring the house. and the kids had a great time playing in the yard. We got many comments on what a great venue we had chosen. My husband and I are so happy with the way the wedding turned out.

e to make the bride and groom's day special by working closely with the caterer and DJ with respect to the bride and groom's desires.

RFECT setting for our wedding. The views of the capital were superb from the balcony & made for gorgeous photos. The staff were friendly, quite helpful, and very easy to work with. We were able to bring in our own alcohol which saved us a lot of money. We hired Craig, their caretaker to bartend. He provided us with useful tips which contributed to our having the wedding of our dreams !!

ad picture in that house since every room provides a beautiful backdrop. The staff were easy to work with and responsive. I truly appreciated the Bride's parlor with the mirrors, sitting table and restroom inside.

The staff is very kind and helpful with ideas and options for the use of the venue.

o help. The house itself is gorgeous! I didn't want to leave. Part of the problem I had though, was some of the other workers, namely the caretaker, Craig. I felt he was trying to run my wedding. I finally told him to put the chairs and tables where I wanted them because this was MY WEDDING! It did go my way. They do have a lot of rules though, and mostly they make sense, but we felt it was a hassle. However, the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch (at the venue at least!). The fee was reasonable, and they gave us the security deposit back quickly after the wedding. They did not seem organized though. The volunteers would tell me one thing and the staff would say the opposite, so make sure you talk to a staff member. Overall, I was very happy with the place.

that does things like give stuffed animals to the APD and AFD for chidren to have in traumatic times.
