How Fort Worth Country Memories Blends Ballroom Comfort with Country Views
When you’re planning a corporate event, school banquet, or milestone celebration in Fort Worth, you need a venue that balances professional comfort with authentic Texas character. At Fort Worth Country Memories, we give you that combination. Our climate-controlled ballroom handles your formal program, while our outdoor pavilion and country views create a relaxed atmosphere that your guests will remember.
Fort Worth Country Memories blends ballroom comfort with country views by offering a climate-controlled indoor ballroom and flexible outdoor spaces like the Cedar Pavilion and Open Ceremony Area. This setup accommodates both formal and casual events, providing a seamless experience with scenic backdrops, customizable packages, and a variety of amenities for different event types.
What Makes Fort Worth County Memories Venue Work for Corporate and Social Events
Whether you’re hosting a company training day, a nonprofit fundraiser, or a quinceañera, you get access to multiple spaces that work together without forcing your event into a single format.
Indoor Ballroom Meets Outdoor Pavilion
Our indoor ballroom seats up to 150 guests with chandeliers, heating, and air conditioning, and a full kitchen. You get tables & chairs, a couple’s table, tablecloths, and a Bluetooth speaker. When your group needs space to spread out, the Cedar Pavilion offers a covered area with wooden tables, chairs, ceiling fans, and a dedicated DJ zone. The outdoor reception area inside the red barn has a beverage bar, a cake table, a refrigerator, and four bathrooms.
This layout works whether you’re running a training session, hosting a fundraising dinner, or celebrating a quinceañera. Your guests can move between spaces without feeling crowded or disconnected from the event.
Service That Keeps Your Event on Track
Almost every package includes a planning session, an on-site venue manager, a closing assistant, a photobooth, full event cleanup, and so much more. We handle trash removal and space reset so your team can focus on guests instead of logistics. If you serve alcohol, our TABC-certified bartender manages the bar with liability insurance coverage.
We don’t require security guards, and event insurance is optional. You’ll pay a refundable security deposit when you book.
Open Vendor Policy and Catering Flexibility
You can bring your own food or hire any professional caterer you trust. We don’t charge vendor surcharges. The ballroom kitchen is available for staging and service. You and your guests may bring alcohol, but our certified bartender must handle service.
This same flexibility applies to photographers, DJs, florists, and rental companies. Choose the vendors who fit your budget and vision.
What’s Included in Your Package
All event packages include seating for up to 150 guests, access to the Cedar Pavilion as a covered dance floor, four bathrooms, event cleanup, and free use of our Marketplace décor library. The Marketplace is stocked with signs, mason jars, vases, lanterns, greenery, flowers, and wood rounds. You can use these items at no charge to personalize your space.
Outdoor features include a tree swing, the Tiny Town toddler play area, horseshoes, and multiple photo spots around the property. We also offer additional rental items on-site if you need more than what’s in the Marketplace.
Three Package Options for Different Event Styles
We structure our packages to match how different groups actually use the venue. If your event focuses on outdoor activities and casual mingling, you can book outdoor space only and add indoor access if needed.

The Lodge for Overnight Guests
Our Lodge accommodates up to eight guests, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, including a kitchen, two TVs with Amazon Prime, and a grill. This works for corporate leadership retreats or family celebrations where out-of-town guests want to stay together.
Animals at the Corral
We can bring our miniature horses and zebra to the corral near your event space. Guests can feed, pet, and take photos with them for up to an hour. This feature works especially well for school events, family parties, and team-building days.
Dressing and Prep Spaces
The Loft, located upstairs in our red barn, includes seven lighted mirrors, seating, two private dressing rooms, and heating and air conditioning. The Den offers additional dressing space with seating, bar stools, a large mirror, and climate control. These areas can be added to work for speakers preparing before presentations, performers getting ready, or coordinators managing event logistics behind the scenes.
The Fort Worth Setting and Photo Opportunities
We’re located at 5682 Tenderfoot Trail in Fort Worth, near Lake Worth and the Fort Worth Nature Center. The property includes wide open space, large trees, and several decorative photo spots. If your event includes an outdoor ceremony or program, the Open Air Chapel offers a covered space with 12 antique pews and an octagonal arch. The Open Ceremony Area features a white arbor, brown wooden doors, and white benches.
Both spaces work for programs, ceremonies, or scenic backdrops during corporate and social events. These areas can be added to any event package.
