    If you are looking for something truly unique The Augustus is the venue for you! I have worked with Melissa, Matt, Adam, and their amazing team on several events we have held there. The communication and service is outstanding. From the event idea stage to the day of, not a detail was missed. The food is incredible, from heavy appetizers to a full service sit down dinner, there is something for everyone. If you want an exceptional event experience, this is the place that will make that happen. Highly recommend!

  • Great space to host large groups

    Just hosted an event at The Augustus in Downtown McKinney, Texas, and I couldn't wait to share my experience! First things first, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. You could really feel their passion for creating an amazing client experience. Walking into the building, I was totally taken in by the rich history that's all around. It's like each corner has a story to tell, and I loved soaking it all in. The mix of old-world charm and modern comfort in the design really sets the vibe. What I found super cool about The Augustus is how well thought out everything is. Having private access to the kitchen, separate restrooms, and a fully stocked bar makes a huge difference. It's like they're all about making sure you have what you need for any kind of event – big or small. And let's talk tech – it's seriously impressive! The audio-visual setup fits right in with the space, which meant we could have some killer presentations and entertainment. The way they blend history and modern tech is a winner in my book. To wrap it up, hosting my event at The Augustus felt like taking a step back in time, but with all the perks of today. The staff's friendly vibes, the historic setting, and the top-notch amenities make this spot a real hidden treasure. For anyone looking to make their event truly special, I'm shouting from the rooftops: check out The Augustus!
