This is such a beautiful place to get married! We had the ceremony in Van Cliburn and the reception in McDavid Studio. The wood floors are undeniably gorgeous and there is so much that you can do as far as decorations with the rooms. However, the venue is so gorgeous that it can stand on its own if you choose not to add many decorations.
We worked with Theresa who was absolutely fantastic to work with. She bent over backwards to make sure that the details of my day were to my liking, and promptly responded to my many emails and voicemails. She was truly a breath of fresh air and it was such a pleasure to work with her.
My guests are still talking about how beautiful the wedding was. I recommend Bass hall to anyone looking for a modern, elegant and sophisticated venue.

Bass Performance Hall is a beautiful venue in Fort Worth and the staff made it the perfect place for my special day. Everything from the initial meeting until the final send off went perfectly. The staff responded to all of my requests and questions promptly and were wonderful to work with. The production staff also did an amazing job with the colored lighting I requested, which made the place look even more amazing! I priced out a lot of places in the area, and for the quality and size of the space, Bass Performance Hall offers a lot of value for the price. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a classic venue and a worry-free day! I loved it!

The space here is absolutely beautiful if you're going for a clean, modern wedding. We loved how much of a "blank slate" the spaces are, so any decor could go with it. The hard wood floors are lovely, and it was nice to not have to plan around hideous hotel ballroom carpet.

My wedding ended up being during a transition period between special events managers, so there was a tiny bit of confusion, but in the end everything worked out. The staff was very helpful during the wedding and helped us pack up vases (etc) that needed to be returned to vendors.

I gave them a 4.0 for flexibility because there are a LOT of rules to follow for using the space, since it is primarily used for FWSO rehearsals and concerts. Most of the rules seemed very reasonable to me (no uncontained open flame, no real flower petals on the floors, etc), but on our wedding day they put up a small stink about bringing in outside wine for the wine unity ceremony. It ended up working out just fine, but if you're a bride who thinks rules don't apply to you, you'll be frustrated here.

Overall I had a beautiful wedding here and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful venue, everyone was wonderful to work with, they were very accommodating with the small details, and I thought they were reasonably priced for the services they offered. James, Dee, Gene and Teresa were the best to work with! Best reception venue in Fort Worth....hands down!

Best venue in Fort Worth. The staff is amazing to work with. You won't regret going with Bass Hall!

I LOVED everything about this venue! The people there (James is who we primarily worked with) are very nice and accommodating! They provide your tables and chairs and set them up for you. The chairs are nice white garden chairs, so you don't need chair covers like at some places. I definitely recommend Bass Hall to anyone looking for a venue!

I used this venue for my wedding reception and it was absolutely gorgeous! The windows make the space look huge, and when it is decorated, it looks incredible!

We rented the Van Cliburn Hall for our reception. Throughout the initial consultations, meetings, emails, phone calls etc, the team was extremely flexible, professional & timely. Not one problem occurred - highly recommend this beautiful room & fab team!!

It was a beautiful venue for both ceremony and reception. I almost did not need to have much decoration, as the interior spoke for itself. The staff was always willing to help us and I was able to have the wedding beyond my dreams.

AMAZING!! It was beautiful! They let me do whatever I wanted and they helped out decorating too. Very good price!

We had a great experience in the McDavid Studio for my daughter's wedding reception.

OVERALL -
The gals over at Bass Hall (Julie Curtis & Samantha McNeal) were a dream to deal with. They promptly answered all of my questions via email (it was the best way in contacting either one of them), however as the date got closer I did run into difficulty in gaining contact with Samantha, as we she wasn't returning my phone calls or emails. In the end, I felt like a heel in learning that a family member had passed away & she was away from her office in attendance at their funeral. In the end, she gave me her mobile number, so that I could relax in contacting her directly in order to ask frivolous (but what seemed important at the time) questions about the set-up for the ceremony & the reception. Both DH & I decided on Bass Hall for it's elegance and style for our wedding. It screams it & all of our guests were excited to be in attendance within it's walls during the ceremony & the reception. During each walk-through (we had multiple, since family members wanted to see the layout of the rooms) both girls were extremely nice & most willing to answer all questions. On out initial meeting, both DH & I were presented the pricing packets in print & online versions. We were also given the option of having a bridal changing room for the girls to change, we were presented with pictures of each space.

Everything was explained during each meeting & in print. It was explained that after all guests had arrived that the doorways into the building were to be looked on the outside, so that uninvited people could not barge in.

Restrictions on candles, bubbles and balloons were explained as well. No candles were to be used unless they were encased/surrounded by glass containers (ie. votives could be used, but not tealights unless in a votive holder). No balloons were allowed, especially mylar, due to the high ceilings. Bubbles were restricted to outside, to minimize slippage on the marble floors & damage to the carpets. We opted for their insurance policy as part of our package, to ensure that if any of our guests slipped or fell they were covered within the building. We also opted not to have alcohol served at our reception function, as we would have been charged through Bass Hall for the alcohol and the bar attendant, plus tip. Instead, we opted to inform our guests that we were meeting after the reception over at the Flying Saucer for further celebratory drinks.

We opted to have our rehearsal the day before, everything was in order & we were allowed to leave items (ie. favors, confetti sticks, programs, etc.) in the bridal changing room over at the Maddox-Muse building.

On the big-day, we were presented with an usher (he was so incredibly nice) that escorted the guests in after all family photos were taken before the ceremony. On the Mezzanine Lobby floor (the ceremony floor) all the cash registers were removed from the bar & replaced with our flowers. All the guests chairs were perfectly layed out in rows with the pew-flowers in place. The harpist player was situated on the 5th floor (the floor above the Mezz floor) beautifully playing away.

All tables for the reception were placed out in the Green/Richardson Rooms, both for guests, favors & signing mat, and for the buffet.

After the reception concluded, all guests were escorted downstairs for the bouquet & garter tossing & the final grand exit complete with confetti toss. I was mildly amused with Bass Hall's policy on confetti cleanup with which we had to pay an extra $100 via Cashier's Check. But the confetti sticks were not only fun for us, but our guest had a good time tossing red & black confetti everywhere.

Overall, I was really really happy that we decided on Bass Hall for our venue. It was truly an experience & their staff is truly a dream to work with.
