Barr Mansion

It is an amazing venue for a wedding ceremony and reception. There are many different photo opts and the grounds and indoor spaces are spacious and picturesque.My personal favorite was the photo of all our guests taken from the second floor balcony as they looked at the bride and groom after the ceremony.Everything from the dressing areas to the melodious sounds of the string quartet and finally the music and merriment at the reception were absolutely perfect.

Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to start! Honestly, don't even look anywhere else--this is the place! From the moment I signed the contract in August 2023 to leaving in a getaway car with my husband in September 2024, the BM staff made me feel like their top priority. They were beyond accommodating, welcoming every idea I had and thoughtfully managing details I hadn't even thought of.I loved being able to show my parents the space at the 'Under the Stars' event (definitely check this out if you're considering the venue!), having a private menu tasting that fit our out-of-town schedule (the chef and the food here are simply phenomenal and a major highlight for our guests), and capturing a sweet photoshoot with my mom a few months before the wedding.Every chance I had to visit the venue and spend time with the amazing team, I took it! The staff was so cool, calm, and collected--I couldn't have felt more confident that everything would be perfect. Not to mention, the venue and property are just breathtaking! So many of our guests said it felt like a scene from a movie and was by far the best wedding they'd ever been to. I wish I could do it all over again!Thanks you, Barr Mansion!!!

Beautiful venue for weddings and events. Nestled away under huge trees with several smaller buildings on the property.

We had our wedding here on November 5th and it was everything we could have hoped for. The venue is beautiful. We had our ceremony in the farmstead building that easily held our 100+ guests and provided a bright, clean look with great light for our ceremony. We faced out towards the lawn and trees, which provided a lovely green backdrop for the ceremony. The reception was held in the barn after an outdoor cocktail hour and it was just fabulous. The cooperative weather definitely helped, but it was clear that had the weather gone south, there would have been many indoor options as needed. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more and a large part of that had to do with this venue. In addition to the beautiful setting, the food and drinks were top notch. Everyone remembers if the food at a wedding is subpar, so we were sure we wanted to find a vendor that could provide delicious food for our wedding in addition to a great space and Barr more than delivered. It's so useful that the venue provides the food and bar as it was so many fewer things to worry about. The only decisions we had to make regarding food and drink were which delicious options we wanted, and that was quite difficult because there were so many good options after the complimentary tasting they offered. As a mostly one stop shop, this wedding venue is more than worth the cost. Highly recommend. This place has a lovely, unique personality coupled with a staff that are invested in making your wedding exactly perfect for you. They more than delivered for my new wife and I. We won't be trying to top this one, but were we to get married again, we'd probably try to come right back to Barr!

My family of four attended a wedding ceremony and reception at this venue on wonderful evening. The venue was beautiful with a mixture of old and new structures. The ground was lushly maintained with beautiful plants and trees. All the employees were very friendly and helpful. More stalls were needed in the restrooms next to the reception hall. Also the pathway between the reception hall and parking needed brighter lights in the late evening. Several older attendees needed help in navigating the pathway in late night. Overall, this venue is definitely an excellent option in hosting any event.

We attended a wedding here... which was a destination wedding. The staff were friendly and the venue is very nice looking. I loved the timber framing in the main hall. Food was excellent! Alcohol selection was just OK. It's relatively close to downtown Austin.

I have always wanted to see this place. I've driven by many times and admired the pretty Victorian house.My friend got married recently & had her wedding & reception here. It was gorgeous, of course. They were married under the giant pecan tree next to the house. They are outdoorsy people, so it suited them perfectly.The cocktail hour prior to the reception was great. Another nice outdoor setting. I know they also were able to provide their own liquor, so that was nice. Barr provided the bartenders.The reception was beautiful in a barn- like building, but elegant, if that makes sense. The food was delicious. I had a special vegetarian dinner, that was the envy of the table - seriously that good. And of course dancing and the delicious cake. I would check this place out if I was looking at venues for a wedding. It was even nicer than I expected.

The first venue I toured and I knew instantly that I wanted to get married here. My planner was the one and only Molly Mullaly and I can safely say that my day would not have been the same without her. She helped create my dream day and was ON IT always. She is the most talented event planner that I have ever worked with. Guests were so impressed with the grounds and we got so many compliments on the food. It truly was THE best wedding dinner we have ever had. Everything was quality and the servers were superb. Barr Mansion will always have a special place in my heart. If you're looking for the PERFECT venue to get married at... look no further. The most beautiful venue, the most helpful staff/management, and a night you will NEVER forget!

We were here for a Happy Wednesday picnic outing and enjoyed it immensely! What a neat idea to introduce and monetize this hidden gem event space/ wedding venue! The live music was a lovely touch against the charming backdrop of the 100-year-old Victorian mansion. The grass on the grounds was well maintained and comfortable to lay out on. The food and beverage counters were spaced out so no one area was super crowded. The pizza lines were so long, just to get a number to order, and another 20 minutes to actually get to order, that we decided not to spend that time standing in line. The pictures look so good that we wish there was a better system (pre-order?). Parking is a challenge but the effort is worth the reward! Lovely date night spot (bring your own snacks).

Beautiful wedding venue. The grounds were stunning. Reception hall was beautifully decorated. The food was good.
