Barr Mansion and Artisan Ballroom

Austin’s most dedicated eco event facility pushing all boundaries.

“The versatility of our grounds along with our commitment to green and ethical living sets us apart from any other venue in Austin and beyond."

Our location includes lawns and gardens, an 1898 Victorian mansion and a ballroom constructed from hand-hewn timbers dating back to the 1700’s which are enclosed with glass and covered with a thatch roof. This design allows you to enjoy the beauty of the outside in the comfort of inside.

We are the nation’s first certified organic special events venue. Our philosophy marries the importance of organic standards with all that we do. Our ideology rests on creating superior events while being cognitive of the size of the ecological footprint created in the process. We believe weddings can be ‘green’ and still maintain the sophistication expected from such an important celebration.

We are a full-service event facility, which means we provide the food, wedding cakes, flowers, tables, chairs, linens, napkins, china, wait staff, bartenders and event planners. When you work with us we will listen, and consciously care about every detail of your event. In fact, we believe that by choosing every detail to be sustainable and organic we can create the ultimate day for the bride and groom and one that everyone can feel good about. Our commitment is to the Earth, and our work is filled with love, integrity and a deeply rooted passion to leave the world in even better shape than when we found it.

Our clients say it best “Our wedding was the most fun I've ever had, the happiest I've ever been, and a big part of that was all the work you put into it to making it perfect. You paid such close attention to detail, and everything looked absolutely beautiful… It was such an incredible day. I'm smiling right now just thinking about it. .. Stay in touch!”
