What Makes Summer Weddings Feel Effortless Inside the Ballroom at Fort Worth Country Memories
Summer in Fort Worth comes with heat, but it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your wedding day vision. At Fort Worth Country Memories, our indoor ballroom gives you climate-controlled comfort without losing the relaxed, natural feel that makes a Fort Worth celebration feel authentic.
Our ballroom seats up to 150 guests under chandeliers, with heating and AC that keep everyone comfortable no matter what the forecast says. You’ll have a full kitchen, a couple’s table, tablecloths, and a Bluetooth speaker built in. This space doesn’t feel stuffy or overly formal, which is exactly what couples tell us they’re looking for.
Summer weddings at Fort Worth Country Memories feel effortless due to the climate-controlled ballroom, ensuring comfort despite the heat. With flexible outdoor and indoor ceremony options, a full kitchen, and an open vendor policy, couples can focus on their celebration. The venue offers various packages and accommodations to suit different needs and timelines.
Climate Control That Actually Matters
When you’re hosting 100 or 150 people in July or August, air conditioning isn’t a luxury; it’s how you keep your celebration running smoothly. Our ballroom handles the heat so you can focus on everything else.
The chandeliers add warmth and elegance without relying on candles that melt or florals that wilt. The full kitchen lets your caterer work efficiently, whether you’re serving plated dinners or a buffet. And because we follow an open vendor policy, you can bring your own food or hire any professional caterer you prefer, with no vendor surcharges added on.
You and your guests can bring alcohol, and we require it to be served by our TABC-certified bartender who carries liability insurance.
Indoor Comfort Meets Outdoor Flexibility
One of the main concerns we hear from couples planning summer weddings is the weather. We’ve built flexibility into how our spaces work together so you’re not locked into one plan.
You can start with a ceremony in our Open Air Chapel, which is covered and closed on three sides with 12 antique church pews and an octagonal arch. If the heat is manageable, you might choose the Open Ceremony Area with its white arbor and wooden walkway. After the ceremony, guests can move into the ballroom.
The Cedar Pavilion gives you a covered dance floor with wooden tables & chairs, a couples table under a chandelier, and ceiling fans. If you want the indoor comfort of the ballroom for dinner and the covered outdoor space for dancing, that works too. We’re here to help you map out the flow that makes sense for your timeline.
What You Get When You Book
We include event cleanup, free use of décor from The Marketplace (our onsite library of signs, mason jars, vases, lanterns, greenery, and flowers), and up to 250 pounds of free ice. Couple’s photo ops at the pond are included, and we offer golf cart shuttling for your guests and wedding party. A personalized photobooth with props comes standard, along with a planning session, an on-site venue manager, and a closing assistant.
If you book The Weekender, our two-night package, you’ll get Lodge access starting at noon the day before your wedding. The Lodge sleeps up to eight overnight guests and includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully furnished kitchen with a Keurig, and front and back decks with a grill. Guest venue access starts at noon the day before for rehearsal and runs from 9 AM to 11 PM on your wedding day.

Dressing Rooms Built for Summer
Summer heat makes getting ready a challenge if your dressing space isn’t set up right. The Loft includes seven lighted mirrors, seating, two private dressing rooms, heating and AC, and a balcony. We’ve modernized this space to give you a polished, comfortable area to get ready. The Den offers extra dressing space with bar stools, a large mirror, and climate control.
