Wedding & Special Event Venues & Resources

Mercury Hall is a restored turn-of-the-century building moved over 120 miles to three private acres in south Austin from the settlement of Mercury, Texas. With thirteen cathedral-style stained glass windows and bead-board lined heart pine walls and ceilings, Mercury Hall offers a classic and old-fashioned setting for weddings, receptions and other celebrations. Features include an outdoor terrace, caterer's kitchen and indoor space for 200 guests.

The Zilker Park Clubhouse is managed by the Austin Parks Department and is located in the hills west of Zilker Park. Zilker Park Clubhouse is a long-time favorite for Austin weddings primarily because of the panoramic view of downtown Austin from the stone terrace surrounding the clubhouse. Besides the Zilker Park Clubhouse, the City of Austin has three other park facilities available for meetings, events, weddings or social functions - Commons Ford Ranch, Fiesta Gardens and Mayfield Park Cottage. Because of the popularity of the facilities, reservations are determined by lottery with requests for use first accepted in writing seven months prior to the requested date. After the monthly lottery takes place, reservations can be requested by walk-in or telephone six months in advance of the requested date.
