Austin Outdoor Wedding: Sharon and Jay

Posted on: September 7th, 2012 by Winnie No Comments

When Sharon and Jay wed at Barr Mansion in June, their colorful ceremony was a sight for sore eyes! The bride wore a feathery full-length gown accented by a vibrant bouquet of brightly colored flowers. The focus was on local and seasonal, from the succulent boutonnieres worn by the groom and his groomsmen to the succulent Second Harvest feast enjoyed by the happy couple and their guests in our glass-windowed reception hall. Thanks to Cory Ryan for the beautiful photographs!

 

 

 

 

 

More Than Weddings: The Patron Experience

Posted on: July 11th, 2012 by Winnie 5 Comments

We are best known as an amazing and versatile wedding venue, but did you know that we can also host corporate and other large scale events?  Recently, we watched our Artisan Ballroom and gardens transformed to host the Patrón Aficionados Program.

Our hand-hewn venue served as the perfect backdrop for an event meant to bring together local mixologists, bartenders, store owners and consumers to celebrate and appreciate the process of creating Patrón, which from growing to distilling to bottling, is done entirely by hand.  Check out some of our favorite shots from this evening and next time you’re considering creating a beautiful, immersive event, think about us as your venue of choice!  Huge thanks to Josh Baker of AzulOx for these great photos.

Open Date: September 8, 2012
