Best place to have a wedding!
My husband and I used the hotel for our room block and wedding...it was the best weekend of our lives! Erin and Lexi with the event planning team were simply unreal to work with. They were responsive, efficient, and made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed. There was a mechanical issue with the AC in the Milton suite that we were using to get ready in and Erin made sure that there was multiple portable ACs in the room so we weren't warm....we were actually cold, ha! She figured out a solution in 0.2 seconds and made sure we were kept in the loop. The food at the wedding was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Every guest was saying how it was incredible and came out HOT (which is a big deal, ha!). The drinks were flowing and soooo tasty. The staff who worked the wedding were kind, fast, and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I also had drinks. Wedding cake was extremely yummy too!! The hotel's venue space was ICONIC. As a couple who live in Austin, we wanted our guests to get the Austin vibe. From the lobby, courtyard, surrounding restaurants in the hotel, hotel bar, reception space....hotel rooms...everything was perfect. The customer service at this hotel is top tier for guests staying at the hotel AND for wedding couples. I highly recommend any and all couples wanting to get married in Austin to book this space. You WILL be happy. Your guests will also love to stay here with the room block!!

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.
The ABSOLUTE best!
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!
Perfect Modern Wedding Venue
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
