50th birthday party - An Eventective User from Austin, TX

I had my 50th birthday party on the rooftop . The view was amazing!!! The SXSW staff was amazing in helping me coordinate everything leading up to the party and on the day of. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended. Go checkout the view!

Awesome & chic venue - An Eventective User from Austin, TX

We booked the event center for our son's graduation party for the July 3rd weekend. Frank Reynolds was super awesome at providing us all the details, showing us around and staying connected before/during and after the event. He made sure we had a great experience. The facilities were really good (lobby, back room, parking, deck, coffee bar and the bathrooms). The roof garden was an instant hit with all the guests – everyone went upstairs and took pictures with their family & friends!! The lobby can easily accommodate 100+ guests comfortably. Shout out to Frank – he provided us with information to help setup additional tables/chairs, insurance info and parking validation for the guests. This was a memorable experience and we highly recommend SXDW center for any event.

Graudation party at SXSW - An Eventective User from Austin

We hosted our son's graduation party at SXSW center for 130 people or so and our guests loved the place. It's in the middle of downtown, furnished very well and very pleasing. The views from the rooftop terrace at sunset and after are spectacular. The property manager Frank Reynolds is also funny and easy to work with, they were flexible and made it easy for us to plan and setup the area. We had a great experience hosting the event here and would highly recommend the place to others.
