Charles Johnson House- American Legion

We coordinated a wedding here this weekend, and we’re so pleased with how it turned out. We set up 26 reception tables outside, and it was so pretty with a view of Lady Bird Lake and those majestic live oaks on the lawn. The ceremony was held inside, and we fit over 200 chairs in the upstairs banquet hall. We could not be happier with the on-​site staff and how friendly and helpful they were. The American legion is a nonprofit, so this place is a bargain. It’s also conveniently located close to downtown.

I and my love had our baby shower celebration here this past sunday.
The Hall was amazing our decorations fit perfect with the flooring and the space was the perfect size for the amount of people we invited.
Plus the little «stage area» was great for our photobooth :)
My family and I had an amazing time!
The Kitchen came in handy to keep our fruit cold and for my fathernlaw to throw down in the kitchen.
The bathrooms are right upstairs which worked out so great — since at no moment our guest had go up and down the stairs.
There’s was only one down… The cleaning fee makes no sense. You have to make sure trash and tables are picked up… well in order to do that you have to clean… so basicly you have to clean everything up. and your paying a cleaning fee for the Floors to be sweep…$ 150.00 just for the floors to be sweep.
(Remind you the hall is that big at all, in our case that was the only room used and the kitchen) In that case we might as well have sweep the floors since we throw all our trash away and pick up the tables.
Overall I do recommand the place! I had an amazing experience… and had great memories made here!
Plus had no complaints on parking which we had around 60 people attend.

I booked this venue for my wedding reception and it was perfect! Beautiful exterior with a central location for all of our guests. We had about 100 people in the upstairs ballroom and there was plenty of room for a big dance floor. There is a private dressing area for the bride and groom and a big kitchen for the caterers. When we first decided that we were going to be having a reception I searched the internet for what seemed like three weeks straight to find a venue that was not charging exorbitant prices just for the building. I almost gave up because there are almost none in Austin!!! Then I visted with Suzyn at the Charles Johnson House and after our first meeting I felt like I could actually pull this off!!! So glad I found this gem.

We hosted an event here last year during one of the Austin music festivals and it was by far one of my favorite events. Suzyn and Mario were so pleasant to work with, they truly went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. I highly recommend the venue for any type of event, it’s a great space and amazing management. So excited that we will be back again for our 6^th straight year!

I love love love this place! Well priced rental with incredible staff (Dallas the caretaker rocks) and the rental is very reasonably priced compared to many places in Austin.

Loved the layout of this place for the Austin City Limits parties that we attended. Although, there were a few times that I felt like I was at a somewhat more sophisticated frat soirée. Parking was nearby and the front lawn area is large enough for substantial mingling, tenting, and booth areas.
The upstairs lounge area is a fantastic place to catch shows too!

On New Years Eve, a local booking agency hosted a New Years party at the American Legion. When we parked, I was surprised at how nice the venue was. The building is beautiful. The American Legion would be a great place to host a family reunion or a charity event. There are a number of multi-​purpose rooms and a large manicured lawn with outdoor overhangs for used in the summertime. A very nice place.
