There are a variety of spots offered that both the ceremony and reception can be held. These options also translate well for many photo opportunities as well. The food was delicious! The only thing was the waitstaff cleared our table when we all stood up to greet the bride and groom when they came to the table. This made me sad because I didn't get to finish the meal. I would have appreciated if the waitstaff asked if we were finished eating - something that isn't unreasonable considering we were all standing near the table talking to the bride and groom. Other than that minor inconvenience, I found the planners executing the event to be kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

We actually got married a month prior in MA, but needed to celebrate the occasion with all our friends who live here with us in TX. This event space was perfect for a party on a budget. The view- I mean, come ON, was just incredible, and the backdrop for everyone's photos! People could not stop talking about how phenomenal it was. The process of getting the place was a bit tricky, as I could not navigate their government website to select the date and missed the cut-off time before having to do the lottery. Luckily, not a lot of people were begging for dates in August as the venue does not have air conditioning- so the heat was a bit brutal (but that's Texas!)- but we got it no problem! I ended up calling and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Speaking of air conditioning- or lack-there-of- we ended up renting some swamp coolers (huge cooling fans that run off of ice- but a LOT of ice!!) to help with the heat. There are ceiling fans and a few industrial fans included- but those don't help too much in August! I had a hard time figuring out what exactly we needed- so I'm going to add a quick "plug" for Preferred Climate Solutions our of Hutto, TX. They worked ZPC before and knew how to set things up. Brett even had an extra swamp cooler from an earlier event he let us use. Moving on- because this place doesn't require use of specific vendors- it made it that much affordable. We hired Slab BBQ to cater and Pixster photo booth for fun. For drinks, we filled out the necessary paperwork (some cheap $10ish permit? I can't quite remember) and we're able to just bring in a few kegs and boxes of wine from PartyBarn. Everything went off without a hitch! Good to note- the place provides a bunch of tables. Two huge round ones, a few smaller round and rectangle ones, and some nice cocktail tables we used on the patio. (The cocktail tables and one rectangular were good enough condition to go without tablecloths- the rest require coverings.) For lighting- it was definitely important to us to get string lights on the patio. I realized last minute that getting a few hundred feet of lights was going to be trickier than I initially thought- since I had to consider ones that connected and could manage the power of 300 ft of lights. I used Americanpartylights.com- it worked out great! They included zip ties which is important since it's against the park rules to use tape (holds better anyways.) I found a great diagram of ZPC patio for the light arrangements and measurements (photo included.) It was a perfect celebration and I HIGHLY recommend this space for any event! It has such a cool vibe even without decorations, your set up can be minimal and still look amazing. Plus... that VIEW!

The nostalgic 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!

While it's popular as a wedding venue, it's also fascinating to see many of the rooms with Victorian furniture and decoration, not to mention the beautiful architectural details. From the back of the building at the privately fenced parking lot the property is quite imposing with massive buttressed limestone walls that stretch upwards many stories giving it the feel of a castle almost. After a ride in a small elevator you can see the level with a large ballroom, dining room, large outdoor patio that's sunken from the street and private but quite nice in good weather. The next level is street level from the front of the house and has beautifully furnished living room with gorgeously carved pocket doors, stained glass entryway, intricately carved wood decorated staircase leading upwards to the bedrooms. Each has antique furnishings, fireplaces with painted tiles, and more room for entertaining on the spacious wraparound balconies that give views of how much Austin has changed. While I'm not clear on how much of the property is open to the public at weddings or other events, it's well worth the chance to see inside if you ever get the opportunity.
