The Allan House

I had my wedding here on 02/20/2010. Let me just say- I LOVED everything about The Allan House. Whitney was an amazing help. From the time we first came to visit to after the wedding. I emailed her with several questions and she always responded promptly and was so understanding. The house was beautiful. The ambiance was just what I wanted for our evening sophisticated yet simple wedding with a bit of southern flair. The courtyard is beautiful with the twinkle lights around- so romantic. Whitney was there the day of the wedding and contributed to how smoothly everything ran. I liked that I wasn't tied down to a certain caterer, florist or bakery- I could choose whomever I wanted. I was given a list of suggested vendors but was free to choose from that list or anywhere else. We had about 150 people and I was worried it might be tight but it was perfect!! I HIGHLY suggest checking this place out- plus the location is great. Downtown-perfect for out of towners.

We cannot Thank the Allan House enough for saving us! We planned our wedding in about 3 months because of a horrible misunderstanding with our previous venue, leaving us in a lurch. I was panicked and unsure of how to begin a new search for a wedding site and the Allan House made it so very easy! They invited us to an open house, which happened to be that evening, where we could see what the venue might look like, it was magical! The staff is more than just friendly, they make you feel like they are actually your friends and look out for your every need! They listen to your ideas and helped to make them happen! They offer a gorgeous clear heated tent during some of the winter months (our wedding was Dec. 18) so that you are still able to dance in the moonlights, and tables and chairs are included (which in this economy was a huge bonus)! The venue is absolutely beautiful with its classic elegance, yet they embrace the natural beauty of the property! My husband was born and raised in Nashville, TN and I was born in San Antonio, it was the perfect match for our styles! They added extra lighting in the tent and the twinkle lights on the trees made such a romantic setting. They know what they are doing, they help you know what to expect, they know how to help, and most importantly they know how to put you at ease during such a busy planning period!

We'll never be able to thank you enough for hosting our wedding. The Allan House was perfect! We were able to have a truly intimate and personal day under the backdrop of nearly breathtaking natural beauty. The lighting at sunset was amazing. Our guests couldn't say enough. The staff were impeccible, prompt, and friendly through the entire planning process and ready to help our personally chosen vendors. Without a doubt we achieved our "dream wedding" and will be forever grateful!

The most absolute perfect place for a wedding reception. Our whole theme was organic, and this place fit the bill perfectly. It was so natural and elegant. Whitney is so helpful, and it was worth every penny in the end. You must look into the Allan House if you are considering getting married in Austin.

I was an out of town bride looking for a venue to host the ceremony and reception in one unique place. Allan House fit the bill perfectly. It is larger enough for all to be comfortable, charming, accomodating and affordable. Whitney is great to work with and she helped make our big day special. We had planned on a outdoor wedding, but when rain struck and continued the entire evening the Allan House was flexible and accomodating. It's enough to stress about the rain as a bride, helps a lot to have a venue and manager that you can count on. If you are seeking a unique and charming venue, check out the Allan House. All of guests fell in love with it.

The Allan House is a beautiful wedding venue! The courtyard is decorated with white lights and white japanese lanterns, so all we needed to add were candles and flowers to make it the perfect place for our wedding! My only complaint was that for the money, I didn't expect to have to rent a parking lot, but rent a parking lot, I did.

I know there are not a lot of reviews out there for the Allan House, and I admit, I searched desperately for them since we planned our wedding from out-of-state. I can tell you all honestly, the Allan House was the perfect venue for our wedding. We had only visited the venue twice before the big day, so we were just as impressed as our guests at how beautiful everything looked! The ceremony was held in the last few hours of October daylight, and the sun shone beautifully through the tree branches. At night, the lights in the trees added such a nice atmosphere to the reception. Our 75 guests had plenty of room to celebrate, between the outdoor area, the porches, and the charming interior. We will be forever grateful for the courteous and accommodating staff, and for their help making our wedding absolutely perfect!
