Kelly is quite literally an angel. I truly don’t think there are enough words to express how grateful I am that she was part of our wedding journey. From the moment my husband and ...
I first toured The Caswell House, we knew it was our venue, and Kelly quickly became one of the people who made the entire experience so special.
From our very first visit, Kelly went above and beyond for us. She invited us to the venue’s open house, helped us connect with incredible wedding vendors, and even waived our furniture fee. But more than anything, she was there for us throughout the entire year leading up to our wedding. We texted regularly, and she was always kind, responsive, patient, and willing to help. She welcomed us to stop by the venue whenever we wanted to get familiar with the space, ask questions, or work through details. She helped us plan our floor plan and furniture setup and never once made us feel like we were asking too much.
On our wedding day, Kelly went above and beyond yet again. She handled the majority of the furniture setup and breakdown practically by herself and spent the evening making sure our families were taken care of. Knowing she was there gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax and enjoy one of the most important days of my life.
Kelly wasn’t just our venue coordinator—she genuinely cared about us and about making our wedding day special. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for us. The Caswell House is incredibly lucky to have her!
My husband and I had our "wedding celebration" at Caswell House on April 4, 2026. It was the first venue we toured, and we're so glad we ended up selecting it for our party. The no...
stalgic aesthetic, the multiple rooms and floors, the ballroom upstairs, the balconies, the view of the capitol building, and the twinkling lights on the oaks on the lawn made for a romantic and chic celebration that our friends and family still talk about! Caswell House and the team behind it (shoutout especially to Kelly Treybig) were a dream to work with. The rates are affordable, and the venue is very accommodating, even with our more DIY approach. If you're looking for an event venue in Austin, Caswell House is exceptional. Highly recommend!
We are so happy that we chose the Caswell House as our venue for our wedding. As someone who grew up in Austin and would go to the Caswell every Christmas, this place was already s...
pecial to me. I knew when we toured the space that it would be perfect for our small wedding. I was nervous when management at the Caswell changed hands prior to our wedding, but was instantly put at ease by Kelly, the new event manager! Kelly was incredible to work with as she was exceptionally kind and helpful. She helped our wedding go off without a hitch, and helped us get the space event-ready prior to the wedding day. The Caswell is a gorgeous venue, leaving no real need to decorate as the space is already beautiful. It was easy to match our color scheme to the aesthetics of the Caswell since it is already so beautifully curated. I highly recommend the Caswell for your intimate wedding or event!

r was Ms. Kelly Treybig- she was quick to respond, very kind, and willing to accommodate!
The star loss comes from the clean-up crew, Ash and Tate. We hired them to do the clean-up for our event and at 12:10 (20 min before we had to be out) they handed us a list of things we had to do- mop, sweep, wipe cabinets, etc. Thank God we hadn’t paid them yet because they did nothing!!
Caswell House was the perfect size for my 60 person wedding and the perfect price point (plus it's a nonprofit and, therefore, no sales tax). It is a little odd in that a buffet w...
ill be on the ground floor but seating is upstairs, but totally doable, just have a seating chart downstairs and upstairs. We did have to collapse 3 tables out of 8 to make room for dancing on the second floor and we did a Grand March with only minor difficulty. The only decor I brought in was vases with flowers and votive candles; it's just not needed for how beautiful the House is. I used the stoop/front porch for the ceremony. If you want a seated ceremony outside, you will need to bring in your own chairs as the chairs the House have for rent (at a very reasonable price though!!) are inside-only. Overall, I had a great experience and highly recommend this venue.
Works best for weddings under 75 and requires a lot of coordination for flipping for dinner but absolutely worth it.
This elegant, majestic house was the one and only PERFECT back drop for our Steampunk Victorian Wedding. We knew at first sight this had to be where we got married. We planned our ...
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!
This house was the perfect place for my wedding! Bryan and Craig were great to work with and always answered all of my hundreds of questions. It is really affordable for the space-...
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.
The Caswell House was the first venue we saw, and after we saw it we couldn't really consider anywhere else. The house is beautiful inside and outside and the staff knows how to m...
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.
We had a small (35 guests) ceremony and reception at Caswell House. The venue is beautiful, and has spaces both inside and out that can accommodate the ceremony, and a great space ...
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!

Thank you for making my daughters dream come true.
For a wedding under 100 people, this is the best value you will find for an elegant wedding. I felt like a princess as I entered the Victorian rooms and the venue was perfect for ...

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.

I had my wedding at The Caswell House. It was the perfect venue. Old world charmer! The staff was helpful and easy to work with.

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.
I love the Caswell House. It is such an elegant setting that provides a very intimate and classic wedding reception. Simple touches of wedding decor and the place is stunning. ...
The staff is very kind and helpful with ideas and options for the use of the venue.
I used the Caswell house after my church pretty much would not work with us on our wedding, so it was a little last minute. The front desk lady was nice enough and seemed willing t...
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.
The Caswell House is beautiful! The view of the capitol at night makes the cost worth it alone AND the rental fee goes to the Austin Junior Forum. They're a local charity group ...
that does things like give stuffed animals to the APD and AFD for chidren to have in traumatic times.
