Mansion, Hall and Gardens at The Grand Lady

About this space

The Grand Lady is a family-run wedding and event venue on 20 acres of oak trees in Manor, about 25 minutes east of downtown Austin. You get four settings in one place: a restored 1881 mansion for getting ready, a modern 3,400 sq ft climate-controlled reception hall, a half-acre flower farm with a 60-foot pergola for garden ceremonies, and the grounds themselves, with a ceremony lawn in the oak grove and courtyards for cocktail hour.

The mansion is reserved for you, your wedding party and close family: eight rooms for getting ready, photos and a quiet moment before the ceremony. Built in 1881 and restored in 2019, she still gets the most compliments on her porch.

We host up to 250 guests, and the whole property is yours for the day. Tables and chairs are included, and weekend rentals include 14 hours (weekdays, 12). If Texas weather has other plans, the reception hall and covered breezeway give you a real rain plan, not a last-minute tent.

Venue rental runs from $4,000 to $14,500 by day and season (taxes and fees not included). Ask about our all-inclusive package with our trusted partners for catering, bar, flowers, coordination and DJ (availability varies by date).

Our in-house floral studio sources the best blooms from top growers, then adds flowers grown just for you in our own garden, cut fresh for your wedding. Book your flowers with us and take $500 off your venue rental.

Peak Beverage is our licensed bar partner, and you choose your caterer from our approved full-service caterers. A professional planner or day-of coordinator is required. The property and restrooms are ADA accessible, and parking is free on site.

Six-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and Hall of Fame venue. Besides weddings, we host elopements, small weddings, rehearsal dinners, holiday parties, corporate events, private parties, photo shoots and commercial filming. We're Katie West and Sean Kane, and we'd love to show you around. Tours by appointment.
