7 Reasons To Have Your Wedding At Commodore Perry Estate In Austin, Texas

While downtown Austin has its charming wedding venues, there’s nothing quite like a touch of European beauty in the middle of Texas. Not everyone wants a ranch wedding, which is why the Commodore Perry Estate wedding venue is unlike any other.

So let’s go over seven reasons why having a Commodore Perry Estate wedding will create a ceremony and reception worth remembering.

#1: No Need To Go To Europe

Of course, I’m not saying you shouldn’t go to Europe! But destination weddings have so many things to consider and can be really stressful. That’s why the exceptional location of Commodore Perry Estate is perfect! European charm mixed with Texas’s infamous Southern hospitality always sounds wonderful. 

Imagine strolling through a manicured lawn reminiscent of the Italian countryside and passing a sparkling water fountain while the sun sets. It’s just as beautiful as it sounds.

#2: A Variety Of Wedding & Event Spaces

The Garden

Their infamous Garden offers space for up to 175 guests, thanks to 11,000 square feet of grass and manicured bushes. In the center is a burbling water fountain, the perfect touch of ambiance to any wedding ceremony.

Lutie’s

After becoming newlyweds, your guests can head over to Lutie’s, Commodore Perry’s garden restaurant, to toast with drinks for cocktail hour. Their chef-driven dinner menu is sure to titillate the palette for your reception, as well!

The Chapel

A 1,600-square-foot chapel offers stained-glass windows, vaulted ceilings, and stone floors for an indoor ceremony or wedding reception. You can fill it with flowers or whatever your vision demands. 

#3: An Inclusive Booking Fee

Often, when planning a wedding in Central Texas, there are so many moving parts and details to consider. Finding rental companies, combing Austin’s hundreds of caterers for curated menus…the list goes on and on! But Commodore Perry Estate has you covered!

For all sizes of events, Commodore Perry Estate includes, at minimum, glassware, china, tables and chairs for dining, and their bars.

Larger events also receive their understated service, with the option of using their wedding specialists to help you bring the party together. They’ll also happily work with you and your wedding planner! 

On the day, Commodore Perry Estate provides an on-site event manager to ensure everything goes smoothly.

#4: Convenient Accommodations

The city of Austin is known for its nightlife, but what about accommodations for a wedding? Most wedding venues don’t offer beautifully appointed suites, but Commodore Perry Estate has it in spades. Their 54 suites are stunning and luxurious. They complement the equally gorgeous property, making it feel like you’re a continent away from the bustling city.

Whether your family and friends are coming from out of town, or they just want a place to relax after the party, Commodore Perry Estate allows you to book a block of rooms or even buy out all of the suites, offering a convenient experience for your wedding weekend.

#5: Delectable Menu

Inside the Commodore Perry Estate mansion is a truly beautiful restaurant called Lutie’s. Hanging greenery cultivates an intimate vibe as you sip signature cocktails and chat the night away with your loved ones.

Looking to chill out before your wedding ceremony? Relax poolside on their yellow lounge chairs and striped umbrellas while tacos are whipped up nearby. The space is intimate only and available for overnight guests, allowing a sense of privacy when you need a bit of quiet.

As for larger events needing to create a menu for their wedding reception, the estate offers custom menus that can suit any allergies or preferences.

#6: Centrally Located

While Austin, Texas offers a lot of wedding venues, when it comes to location, some are just better.

One of the biggest reasons this venue is perfect for all kinds of events!
