Are you envisioning a metropolitan hotel wedding with all the convenience available? No matter the size of your group or the time of the year? Then look no further than the Fairmont Austin. I toured it today, and I think that it offers a LOT of great options.
An impressive glass facade surrounds an expansive foyer…
… with an impressive ceiling decor, living trees…
… and an stunning near-lifesize bronze sculpture of three horses.
The foyer opens …
… to a restaurant court designed in the style of Sixth Street, the historic bar and nightlife center of Austin.
One of their restaurants, Garrison, is even Michelin recommended! (and the only thing standing in its way to a coveted Michelin star is a separate entrance, believe it or not…).
As you can see, plenty of options for Rehearsal Dinners and for Send-off Brunch!
On the third and fourth floors, there are several ballrooms with their own foyers and ancillary meeting rooms to choose from, each ballroom with its own foyer (for cocktails), one with a built-in stage, and another one accommodating up to 2,400 guests! It can be partitioned, of course, to suit any large gathering of maybe 400-500 guests. AND it is outfitted for ceiling installations which allows for huge swags and draping!
Further up is the rooftop pool…
… where you can enjoy a resort feeling under palm trees and with music in the center of downtown Austin! This is also the perfect place for outdoor wedding ceremonies – all planned out in detail and ready to go. Adjacent to the pool deck is a restaurant with tropical decor perfect for a casual get-together …
But still, that’s not all! Tucked away behind all that is a glamorous Speakeasy that would be perfect for a Welcome reception…
… with a built-in speaker system, banquettes and booths covered in silver-grey cut velvet.
And – did I forget? There is an incredible bar…. of course!
So, if you are considering your wedding at the Austin Fairmont, you can make it a whole weekend for yourselves and your guests – from a Welcome reception and a Rehearsal Dinner to a spa and pool day with casual dining; then celebrate your Big Day, stay right there in your suite, sleep in and have a relaxed Send-off Brunch the next morning. How does that sound?
