Combining the modern with the traditional, The Cathedral ATX is a dreamy and one-of-a-kind wedding venue located in the heart of East Austin, TX. This stunning setting dates back to the 1930s, with a long history as a Baptist church, before it was refurbished into a truly breathtaking boutique gallery haven back in 2019. Female artists and designers are at the core of its beauty, making it an idyllic spot for your milestone celebrations.
The heritage of The Cathedral ATX, as well as its original architecture, have been beautifully preserved. Its most striking features are the incredible 14-foot windows, which allow light to flood into the high-ceilinged space, creating a bright and airy feel. Their traditional church design also keeps the venue's rich past at the front of the mind. Meanwhile, contemporary artwork, modern lighting fixtures, and a neutral color palette are stunning juxtapositions that truly set this space apart. Lavish furnishings, greenery, and vintage tiles add vibrance and life, ensuring every nook is photo-worthy. You can enjoy these unforgettable interiors and exteriors with up to 120 of your nearest and dearest for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
If you choose to host your magical day at The Cathedral ATX, you will be delighted by the seamless experience they deliver to all their couples. Their expert team can plan all the details, with passionate curators, coordinators, and designers on board to execute your vision flawlessly. They can even collaborate with local artists, musicians, and performers if you wish to add something extra special. All bookings also include the access to their stunning designer furniture, fully equipped kitchen for catering, audiovisual and sound equipment, and ample parking.

Meet the team
- Mónica CenicerosFounder, Creative DirectorMónica is a natural-born artist who has been creating and designing for as long as she can remember. Mònica is originally from Monterrey, México, where she absorbed the country's vibrant culture that is reflected in all of her art and design work today. At 16, Mónica moved to Austin with her sisters, and her passion for art only deepened from there. After college, she rented her first art studio in East Austin, a pivotal step that connected her to the city’s thriving art scene and many of the artists she works with today. Her background in business development, marketing, and event production naturally led her to start atxGALS, Austin’s largest collective of women and nonbinary artists. The collective’s mission is to increase exposure and representation for women and nonbinary artists through inclusive and unique exhibitions in non-traditional gallery spaces. Following two years of successful pop-up events, The Cathedral's concept came to live—an elevated yet welcoming gallery space that celebrates the arts and serves as a one-of-a-kind venue. Designed to foster creativity and connection, The Cathedral brings art into everyday experiences, making it an integral part of special celebrations.

My wife and I booked The Cathedral as our wedding venue for our ceremony this past weekend. Since we were coming from Southern California, it can be a bit nerve-racking to secure a venue without seeing it first-hand. However, I could not speak ...
more highly of the venue space, but more importantly, the staff itself. Everyone involved, from the coordinator to the bartender, was absolutely fantastic! Kathleen and Monica went above & beyond to ensure that our ceremony was top-notch. You can tell from your first interaction that they truly care about their guests' experience. I could go on and on about how attentive they were, but they simply made this experience one I will never forget.
Thank you Kathleen and Monica & Staff.

The Cathedral is an amazing venue, about 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown. This quiet elegant oasis has been lovingly renovated by Monica Ceniceros and it shows. All the little details like the art are meticulously curated and ...
placed.
The place was perfect for our all day Future of Health event where we gathered the who's who health innovation. Everything went smoothly with Monica and her staff, including the last minute panic order of coffee at 8am in the morning.
The team are amazing, AV, Lighting, Food, and the general cleanliness of the facility. The handling of last minute requests with a smile and "sure we can help" attitude permeates throughout.
I highly highly highly recommend this venue and we will be back next year.

This is the second time I’ve been to this venue. It works well for a group of 100ish people. The first event was a song launch and the second was an art gala.
The space is beautiful, the windows are amazing and the setup works really well.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than The Cathedral! From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the one. The space is absolutely stunning – a unique blend of modern elegance and artistic charm. The high ceilings, beauti...
ful lighting, and the artwork throughout the gallery created such a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that made our wedding feel truly special.
The team (especially my day-of-coordinator, Madilyn) at The Cathedral was phenomenal to work with. They were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly on our big day. They were responsive, attentive, and helped with all the details, from setting up the space to coordinating with our vendors. It was clear that they have a lot of experience hosting weddings, and they made the entire process stress-free.
We loved that the gallery offered a one-of-a-kind backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The art added so much character and depth to our photos, and our guests were in awe of the space. It was the perfect blend of art, culture, and elegance, and we received so many compliments about how beautiful and unique the venue was.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s not only beautiful but also provides an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend this art gallery in Austin. It truly exceeded all our expectations and helped create memories we’ll cherish forever!
