“I had reserved a few lanes for my whole shop of Marines, and this place was great! We had about 30 people and everyone had an amazing time, with any troubles that we ran into fixed immediately by the staff. The food was delicious and we can’t thank them enough for the great time! Definetly coming back!”

“Brought my nephew here for his first time, we had a blast. We used the stars, knife, and axes! The glow wood boards and blue lights and music made it a good time! Staff is more polite and helpful as well. Will be back !”

“Absolutely love the experience here!
Corn maze was so much fun. The babies at the petting zoo were so cute. The goats even wave ??
The taxidermy skills are ??????”

“Roxy & her staff/team were AMAZING!!! We had my daughter’s baby shower there & they were incredibly patient with us thru the entire process & were willing to work with us on some things, but most important of all, her & her team helped us set up beforehand, which there is NO way I would’ve been able to have everything done in time before the event started so they were literal life savers! & were incredibly helpful & attentive throughout the event. The property itself is super cute also….beautifully landscaped on the outside also! It was a beautiful shower & they contributed a huge part in making it a success & making everything turn out so wonderful!!! Would highly recommend having your event here, you would not be disappointed!”

“Just wanted to reach out as my husband and I had our reception with y’all & believe y’all deserve to be praised again!!

My mother and I were told we were the first ones to directly ask about y’all’s acoustics during the walk through and amazed to learn not only that, but everything y’all do to go the extra mile!! (More people should know to pay attention to acoustics at receptions!!)

My husband and I, STILL to this day, get so many compliments on it being the most fun wedding our friends have been to… And I just wanted to thank y’all again, praises again to the chef & his team + serving staff, and ones in charge that helped us make it happen… ?? - The Waterbury’s”

“Great Venue for a great price! We held our wedding here last month and we would highly reccomend for others. The owner Jay went out of his way to be responsive and helpful leading up to the big day. Then, he was on site that morning to answer any last minute questions and make sure we had everything we needed. The Outdoor setting and gazebo make for great pictures, and the inside is also spacious and well maintained.”

“I saw this place online and in person and fell in love. I secured this place a year ago for my intimate reception. It's beautiful and turn key ready and Vella was a pleasure to work with.”

“Definitely worth the price of admission. Lots to see here! Rose Garden, Japanese garden, beautiful and intricate Lego statues around. Massive trees. Great for graduation or wedding photos”

“We had our storybook-themed baby shower here and absolutely loved the space! It was very spacious and had plenty of room for all of our guests, with still enough room to play games without feeling crowded. We really liked having the separate kitchen area for serving food because it kept everything organized and gave us even more room in the main area. The bar area was a nice bonus too! Everything worked out perfectly for our shower, and we would definitely recommend this venue for anyone planning a baby shower or other special event.”

“I recently had the opportunity to visit The Bowden and was genuinely impressed. The property is beautiful, modern, and has a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The staff was professional, attentive, and made the experience feel personalized and comfortable.

The amenities, common spaces, and overall attention to detail really stood out. Everything felt thoughtfully designed and well maintained. The location is also convenient, making it easy to enjoy everything Dallas has to offer.

Overall, The Bowden offers a great balance of comfort, style, and hospitality. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality experience in Dallas.”

“We were married at River Ranch Stockyards on January 24, 2026—right in the middle of an ice storm—and it was still an incredible experience.

Our venue coordinator, Leslie, was outstanding from start to finish. She was responsive, organized, and anticipated our needs long before the wedding week. When the ice storm became a real concern, Leslie and the River Ranch team were clearly prepared and put us completely at ease. Then, just an hour and a half before the ceremony, our outside wedding coordinator unexpectedly bailed. Leslie immediately stepped in without hesitation and kept everything running smoothly.

Despite the weather reducing our guest count, the staff was phenomenal. The servers and bar staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, and they truly turned what could have been a disaster into the wedding we wanted.

The food was excellent—especially the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and appetizers. The staff even made sure we ate and sent us home with care packages afterward.

We can’t recommend River Ranch Stockyards highly enough and would absolutely use them again for future events.”

“One of our favorite places to visit! My wife and I love the Fort Worth Club – the staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is always amazing. As a local Shriner with Moslah Shrine, we attend several events here each year and always have a great experience.

When we stay overnight, I always get a workout in their Athletic Club – truly an amazing facility. Parking is easy, and the service is top-notch.

Thank you, Fort Worth Club, for taking such great care of us!
– Greg and Laura”

“We hosted our holiday party at the Petroleum Club, and everything was absolutely perfect! Terri Eden did an amazing job planning the event and making sure every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was elegant, and the staff was incredibly attentive throughout the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend the Petroleum Club for any special event!”

“Saw an amazing production of HAMLET at this location and had time to stroll thru some of the extraordinary art installations. I wish I had known about all the art beforehand, I would have arrived a lot eael”

“This venue is great, the staff is great. They really cared about our requests and needs. I must say if anyone needs a venue for any reason Bliss Pavillions Event Center is the way to go.”

“Mike and his crew are more than amazing! We hosted.our Family Reunion here with greater than 145 attendees. Mike allowed for early set up the day of the event and he and another gentleman offered their assistance with hanging our large photo backdrop banner. The place was really clean, the outside accommodations were excellent for our games and activities! They even allowed for an inside Jump-House to avoid the Texas heat for the kiddos!! Several families enjoyed the opportunity to 'cast a line' in hopes of snagging a fish or two. Definitely would return to Lonesome Dove for a similar occasion.
Thank you Mike for an excellent day! We truly appreciated the use of some of your our decorations to further enjoy our country Texas theme throughout your spacious areas. Everyone loved it there!
Pros: Bathrooms and changing areas.”

“Absolutely flawless - a dream venue & we love Kelly!!!

We had our wedding reception at City Club Fort Worth on June 7th, 2025 and it was truly everything we could have hoped for and more.
The space itself is stunning — timeless, elegant, and rich with candlelit charm.
Every detail of the setup was perfect, and the atmosphere they created felt both luxurious and intimate. Seriously - no notes on what could have been better!

The food was incredible (guests are still raving), and the service was top tier — attentive, warm, and seamless all evening long.

A HUGE shout out to Kelly Norvell, she was an absolute God send from start to finish. So helpful, communicative, and genuinely made us feel cared for every step of the way. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but with Kelly, we always felt supported and in good hands. She brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way.

We are forever grateful to the entire team at City Club for helping us host the most magical night of our lives. 10/10 wish we could do it all over again!”

“My daughter attended their summer camp and loved it. Fairly priced for the length of hours it is and a great alternative to having kids be stuck at home. The first impression I got of the staff and the space itself was beautiful inventory and friendly employees. Inviting, clean, and super girly. All bonuses to the fun activities my child completed while there.”

“A special thank you to Colleyville Center for hosting the GCISD Swim & Dive Banquet. Facility was bright & spacious, allowed us to decorate accordingly, audio visual presentations went on without any problems while we recognized our athletes and celebrated our seniors. We can't wait to have our celebration there again next year.”

“As an interfaith wedding rabbi and officiant, I have had the privilege of celebrating weddings in many remarkable venues, and Artspace111 is one of those rare places that offers couples something genuinely distinctive.

Located in Fort Worth's historic Near Southside district, Artspace111 combines the sophistication of a contemporary art gallery with the warmth and flexibility of a dedicated event venue. Rather than a traditional ballroom or hotel setting, couples are surrounded by original artwork, soaring ceilings, and light-filled spaces that create an atmosphere that feels creative, modern, and deeply personal.

What I especially appreciate is the venue's beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. The gallery itself provides a striking backdrop filled with contemporary Texas art, while the adjacent sculpture garden offers a lush and intimate setting for ceremonies and receptions. The transition between the two spaces allows celebrations to flow naturally throughout the evening while giving guests a variety of experiences to enjoy.

From a ceremony standpoint, the sculpture garden is particularly memorable. Surrounded by mature trees, landscaping, and works of art, it creates an environment that feels romantic and unique without being overly formal. The setting enhances the significance of the moment while reflecting the creativity and individuality of the couples who choose to celebrate there.

I also appreciate the venue's connection to the Fort Worth arts community. Weddings at Artspace111 feel different because the property itself celebrates creativity, expression, and originality. Rather than imposing a particular style, it provides an inspiring canvas that allows each couple to create a celebration that reflects their own story and personality.

For couples seeking a venue that combines contemporary art, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, creative energy, and an unmistakably Fort Worth character, I am delighted to recommend Artspace111. It is a venue that transforms a wedding into an experience that guests will remember long after the celebration has ended.”

“This was my first time here, and it was pretty awesome. We went to a graduation in a smaller room, but it had everything you needed from a sink to plenty of seating included outdoor seating. The building was nice and had plenty to offer indoor and outdoor. I didn't get to see everything, but will definitely go back for the park and pool.”

“Only downside is the parking. You could very easily find yourself parking several blocks away and taking quite a walk to get to the venue. It's a difficult time for vendors and/or DJs because you will likely end up blocking a lane to unload your gear so pack light. The employees and atmosphere is great though. DJs the area is similar to a gym so sound will be running all over the place with possible echoes if you only have speakers in one spot. Plenty of plugs around the area though if you plan to use uplights or speakers in other areas of the room. If not for the parking situation I'd have definitely given 5 stars.”

“Tarrant Events Center is a fantastic venue, and one of the biggest reasons is Monica, the owner. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help make events successful. From the first conversation through event day, she is responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in creating a great experience.

The venue itself is spacious, versatile, and works well for a variety of events. One thing I especially appreciate is the open vendor policy, which gives clients the flexibility to work with the vendors of their choice. That freedom can make a huge difference when planning an event.

I highly recommend Tarrant Events Center to anyone looking for a venue for weddings, celebrations, corporate events, community gatherings, or any special occasion.”

“Nice clean place. Bathrooms were even clean! They have a huge fenced in backyard that you can hang out in too. It's a very nice place. Good for wedding reception or birthday or quince.”

“We had a great time!!! When we arrived we were welcomed and the process was explained. We also got a lesson on safety and how to throw both 1 and 2 handed. We also got a quick review of the games and scoring. The music and ambience were also fun. Definitely will be back! I was born to throw an ax.”

“Great time at Cinnamon Creek today!! Staff took extra time to help my wife reset and adjust her bow today. They also helped order me a dozen new arrows and will get them cut and sent to me.
Just a great place and even better people!”

“Montclair Event Venue in Colleyville is an absolutely stunning wedding and event space and one of the most elegant venues in the area. The French-inspired architecture, grand entrance, and beautiful interior design immediately set the tone for a truly upscale experience.

The chapel is gorgeous, the ballroom is spacious and refined, and everything about the property feels thoughtfully designed for special occasions. It’s a perfect location for weddings, receptions, and large celebrations, with a layout that makes it easy for guests to move from ceremony to reception seamlessly.

Being right in the heart of Colleyville also makes it convenient for guests, with nearby restaurants and hotels adding to the overall experience. If you're looking for a high-end, storybook-style venue with a luxury feel and incredible atmosphere, Montclair is definitely one of the top choices in DFW.”

“We recently celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday at The Harrison Ballroom, and it was amazing. The place has a great vibe, classy and cozy, which made it perfect for our party. It’s a good size, super clean, and honestly a fantastic deal for the cost. The staff was awesome, helping us set up and checking in all night to keep things running smoothly. Everyone we invited kept saying how much they loved the venue. It really made the night special, and we’d book it again without hesitation. Five stars! Shoutout to Mindy for going above and beyond!!”

“Camarie creates the kind of experience that keeps people coming back. She remembers her customers, makes everyone feel welcome, and brings such a great vibe to her art business. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people who walk through the door. The atmosphere is creative, relaxing, and perfect for a date night or just spending quality time together. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re looking for something different and memorable. Shootout to Maggie for her recommendation on black glitter finish. Fellas! Try it and of course it’s easy on the pocket.”

“Beautiful course, challenging and fun. The people are great! Bring a couple extra balls if your fade is extreme and your draw is a little drawer than you want. ;)”
