When families start searching for a pet-friendly event venue near Dallas, they usually run into two problems. Either pets are not allowed at all, or the space feels limited and inflexible. At Fort Worth Country Memories in Fort Worth, Texas, we’ve built our event packages differently. We welcome pets with some restrictions, and we give you indoor and outdoor space for up to 150 guests so your event feels open, comfortable, and easy to manage.

Located at 5682 Tenderfoot Trail in Fort Worth, we host birthday parties, family reunions, school banquets, church gatherings, and corporate celebrations. We make it simple to plan.

What You Get With a Pet-Friendly Event at Fort Worth Country Memories

At Fort Worth Country Memories, flexibility means more than open space. As a pet-friendly event venue near Dallas, we welcome your guests, including four-legged family members, while offering indoor and outdoor options for up to 150 people. You choose your vendors, your menu, and how the day unfolds.

Space for Up to 150 Guests, Indoors and Outdoors

Our event packages accommodate up to 150 guests. You can host your event in our outdoor reception area, add the indoor ballroom, or use both, depending on your package.

The outdoor reception area includes a beverage serving bar, cake table, refrigerator, cooler, ice machine, seating for up to 150 guests, four restrooms, and folding tables. This setup works well for casual birthday parties, graduation celebrations, and company gatherings where you want a relaxed flow.

If you prefer climate control or a more formal setting, our indoor ballroom seats up to 150 guests and features chandeliers, heating and air conditioning, a Bluetooth speaker, a couples table, tablecloths, and a full kitchen. Having that kitchen available on site makes catering coordination much smoother.

For dancing and music, the Cedar Pavilion serves as a covered dance floor and a covered DJ or music area. It also includes covered seating with wooden tables and chairs, plus a wooden couples table under a chandelier with ceiling fans. That covered structure adds comfort and flexibility, especially for Texas weather.  While the open-air deck with picnic tables, wooden tables with benches, and 500 feet of string lights create the perfect under the stars gathering.  

Open Vendor Policy With No Surcharges

One of the biggest advantages for local event planners is our open vendor policy. You can bring your own food or hire a professional caterer. There are no vendor surcharges.

You and your guests may also bring alcohol. The only requirement is that alcohol must be served by our TABC-certified bartender, who carries liability insurance. This keeps alcohol service organized while still letting you bring what you like.

No security guards are required, and event insurance is optional. That reduces extra coordination and keeps planning straightforward.

Built-In Activities That Guests Remember

Events are more enjoyable when guests have something to do beyond sitting at a table. Every event package includes outdoor games such as horseshoes, mini bowling, a tree swing, and three porch swings. For families with young children, Tiny Town offers a dedicated toddler play area.

We also offer the Corral animal experience. Our miniature horses and zebra, Zoey, can be brought near your reception for about an hour. Guests can feed, pet, and take photos. For school events and family celebrations, this often becomes one of the most talked-about moments of the day.

What Is Included With Every Event Package

All event packages include picnic tables, wooden tables, benches, folding tables, and chairs for up to 150 guests. You also receive use of the Cedar Pavilion as a covered dance floor, four restrooms, multiple decorative photo spots, free use of décor from The Marketplace, event cleanup, and trash removal.

The Marketplace decor library includes signs, mason jars, vases, lanterns, greenery, flowers, wood rounds, arbor drapes, and more. Extra rental items are available on site. Instead of purchasing decor for a single event, you can use what is already here and focus your budget elsewhere.
