Since 1949, The Austin Club s seasoned and accommodating staff has handled wedding celebrations for generations of families. We would be more than pleased to give you a tour of the facility and to review our various food and beverage menu selections with you. Enclosed are sample food and beverage menus, a question and answer sheet, prices and additional information to help you in the planning of your wedding. In closing, we wish the two of you the very best and look forward to assisting you with your future plans. Yours truly, Lillian M. Beckwith Assistant Manager, Director of Catering

2 Medallion Ballroom The historic Millet Opera House has added style and grace to downtown Austin for 120 years. The Austin Club came into existence in 1949, and moved into the Millet building in The seasoned and accommodating staff has handled wedding celebrations for generations of Austin families. The traditional and elegant Grand Medallion Ballroom has high ceilings and five giant chandeliers sparkling over the huge dance floor. The mahogany bar is a replica of one found in England, and there is even seating on a balcony overlooking the city street. Plenty of room to celebrate!
