About Owen House Wedding & Event Venue
The Owen House sits at the heart of old Round Rock, a cluster of three historic and new buildings that together create an intimate, character-filled event venue. The complex centers on the Owen House itself, a two-story home built around 1870 that served as the residence of Dr. William Mitch Owen, a prominent local physician. The adjacent Oatts Building, constructed between 1851 and 1853, housed Round Rock's first permanent post office and mercantile-making it one of the oldest structures in town. In 2021, the Giesen Linssen family added a third stone reception hall designed for modern events, completing a venue that balances authentic Victorian character with contemporary comfort. The setting is ideal for weddings (up to 100 guests), micro-weddings (up to 40 guests), quinceañeras, celebrations of life, rehearsal dinners, and milestone events. The venue provides decorative outdoor lighting, on-site catering prep kitchen, tables, chairs, built-in audio system, and an on-site event manager. Guests enjoy the charming garden and full-service amenities, with rates ranging from $2,700 to $4,900 depending on guest count, day, and season. The gallery showcases celebrations from intimate anniversaries to large weddings, baby showers, and seasonal events. During December, the Owen House becomes home to Santa's Jingle House, a beloved holiday experience established in 2015 that welcomes thousands of visitors. Whether your celebration is elegant or casual, the historic grounds and thoughtful service create a memorable setting.
