Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It's an elegant Greek Revival mansion with a romantic history—it was built as a wedding gift to Ella Newsome and Goodall Wooten in 1898. Now a charming boutique hotel, it's also home to a fascinating collection of modern art.
- Exchange vows on the expansive lawn, with the iconic hotel and a row of manicured hedges as your photogenic backdrop. Follow with a cocktail hour on the pool courtyard, and a reception in the wonderful Grand Ballroom, which opens gracefully onto a spacious veranda.
- Catering is provided by Goodall's—the hotel's on-site restaurant and a local favorite (it's also a great spot for your rehearsal dinner or send-off brunch). Your guests are sure to love their comforting, classic American favorites, designed with a contemporary Austin twist.
