Chic and Dreamy blank canvas in Downtown Austin
I looked at a ton of different venues throughout Austin for my wedding and I KNEW 800 Congress was the one. It delivered on every front. The space is absolutely gorgeous and ready to take on the energy of your event. The location is breathtaking at night in such a gorgeous area of downtown. Make use of the projector screen in the corner of the venue as it can’t be pulled out of sight- we aired a black and white movie during the reception and it added such a flair to the entire event. Everyone was easy and professional to work with, and I had the best wedding day.
