The Grand Lady: Here’s How You Can Rent This Venue

The Grand Lady is a fabulous mansion constructed in 1881 in Manor, Texas. It is now available to rent through Peerspace as a modern event space for more than 250 people.

We’ll explain in detail what sets it apart from so many other run-of-the-mill venues, so be sure to keep reading.

The Grand Lady has it all

This venue is proof positive that you don’t have to make the difficult choice between traditional and contemporary. Features and aesthetics count when choosing a location for one of the most important events of your life.

Luckily, the Grand Lady encompasses the best of both worlds! It was originally constructed in 1881 as a father’s wedding gift to his daughter and her new husband. Nowadays, boasts lovingly-crafted details like stained glass windows and custom solid oak woodwork handmade by local carpenters.

In the early 1900s, the family living here updated the Victorian style to a Colonial one by adding a second floor and a pair of beautiful wraparound porches.

The home was then renovated by a group of local architects in 2018. They modernized the interiors with a new color palette and contemporary furnishings while maintaining the historic features that make this place truly special.

Its outdoor areas are also charming and ideal for photography since the mansion is on a 20-acre parcel of land with numerous large, stately oak trees. Depending on the weather, you have the option to hold an event here outdoors among the oak trees (covered or uncovered) or indoors.

Address: 19704 Hogeye Road Austin, TX, 78653

Why you might choose to rent out the Grand Lady

The Grand Lady’s number one draw is wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions. This is in part because it was designed primarily with weddings in mind.

As a historic, 19th-century mansion that was renovated as recently as 2018, it will lend your gathering a stunning combination of classic charm and modern appeal.

Amenities

As needed, the Grand Lady can provide furniture like chairs, tables, and tents, as well as decor such as lighting, centerpieces, and more.

That means less time spent tracking down trustworthy vendors to provide these event necessities and more time focusing on the aspects of planning your event that you really enjoy.

Layout

This mansion is incredibly spacious, made up of a total of eight rooms and measuring 3,400 square feet. This venue can accommodate 300 people or even more, depending on the type of event and where on the property you plan to hold it.

On-site activities

You can even use the rooms of the mansion for your pre-event activities. They’re ideal for brunch, photography, sipping cocktails, or getting dressed and having your hair and makeup done.

There’s a preparation suite with a private bathroom as well as a study area for those who arrive early and need some place to relax before the event.

The Grand Lady isn’t just for weddings

Keep in mind that just because the Grand Lady is primarily a wedding venue. However, this does not mean you can’t use it for other events (both large-scale and smaller and more intimate) as well!

• A holiday party

You can even rent this mansion to stay in overnight, in case you’re planning something more extended such as a family reunion. You’ll get to stay in a gorgeous mansion!

Plus, there’s no need to reserve a bunch of hotel rooms. After all, your venue and lodgings are all in one, which may cut the cost of the gathering as a whole.
