    I can't say enough good things about South Congress! As a wedding planner, I’ve enjoyed working with numerous venues, and South Congress Hotel stands out as one of the best. Their chic and trendy space provides the perfect backdrop for any wedding, offering an elegant and modern aesthetic that can be transformed to match any couple's vision. The location is simply unbeatable, nestled in the heart of Austin's vibrant South Congress district. It offers convenience for guests and a lively atmosphere that adds to the celebration. Despite its prime location and luxurious feel, South Congress Hotel offers very reasonable prices, making it accessible for many couples. What truly sets this venue apart is the staff. They are an absolute joy to work with, always professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making each event perfect. The level of service and attention to detail they provide is exceptional, ensuring that every wedding runs smoothly. Every time I have an event here, it's an amazing experience. The flexibility of the space allows for endless creativity, and the team at South Congress Hotel is always on board to help bring any vision to life. For anyone looking for a stylish, well-located, and reasonably priced wedding venue with outstanding service, I highly recommend South Congress Hotel.

    We just had our wedding at the South Congress Hotel. It was the perfect backdrop for our weekend. The staff is amazing and everyone was struck by how beautiful the atmosphere was. The food was unbelievable and our guest couldn’t stop talking about it. Most of our guests stayed at the hotel and did not even leave the area. We hosted all our events here across the weekend making it easing for our guests. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat- Love Love Love South Congress and their team!

    Located in the heart of Austin, TX, South Congress Hotel was the perfect location for our wedding! It was so nice having the ceremony and reception in the same place and guests absolutely RAVED about the food from Cafe No Se. I wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience

    My wedding turned out beautifully. I really didn't need to add much to make the space beautiful. However, getting my questions answered was somewhat difficult. Just took a while to get clarity.
