Our overall experience with Stockyards Station was not a good one. In the begining it was very tough at times to get a holdd of Shay (director of special events). We understand she was pregnant, but when she was out you couldn't get anything more then her voicemail. We booked the Stampede room with expectations of having 200 guests (min allowed for this room) We thought the Stockman's Club (max of 200) couldn't comfortably hold this number. We unfortunately only had 160 RSVP. We were told we would have a small underage fee for the room. This was understandable. Still feel $500 is a bit steap for only being short 40. We also bought 1 keg of Budlight @ $250. They do not allow ANY alcohol to be brought in. The house wine and champagne is highly over priced. The bartenders would either stand at the bar or (at times) sit on the back with their feet on the bar and wait for our guests to initiate a drink order. Many of our guests were not told about the free Keg beer and would buy (even Budlight) bottles of beer @ $3.50. The food from Risky's BBQ was fantastic. However, it was packed up and the remainder of the food was disposed of in approx 45min of being opened. Not allowing our guests the ability to get seconds from the "buffet". We did have the bartenders fee's taken off after the event but that took some arguing with Shay. Overall, a bad taste remains. Especially after they attempted to charge our parents a seperate "service charge" for using drink tickets for bar drinks. The service charge was already charged in our balance. You should not be charged for using tickets like a bar tab. I know this is rare and I hate that we were the one's who had a bad experience. The overall look and feel of the Stockyards is great. However, I would not reccommend this vendor at this time.

The stockyards Station is a beautiful place to have a wedding. The staff are friendly and nice. They keep in touch with and and make sure that everything is done right. They even give great ideas on how to set or decorate the wedding/reception. The food is great. They on time and allowed my party to come in a day earlier to decorate. Th price was right. I was so happy the day of my wedding.

The Stockyard Station was the perfect place for our wedding! Shay Lawson was very helpful and professional in planning our wedding celebration. We wanted to have something fun and semi-casual and not the stuffy hotel banquet room. When I saw the Stockman’s Club, I knew it was perfect for us. We had a small group for the size of the room. Shay Lawson suggested some set-ups and ways to help fill up the space. She went over all the details with me prior to the day and very patient when I changed a few details (and then changed them back). We had the ceremony in the Stockman’s Club and then the reception in the other half. The room was set-up as Shay and I discussed and it looked amazing! The servers and bartenders were very attentive and kind. The food was amazing – two weeks later and my friends and family are still raving about it. We had one of the upgraded menus (with pecan chicken and braised brisket of beef) and it was delicious! I would highly recommend hosting your next event at the Stockyards Station! Thank you Shay for helping to make our wedding such a special and beautiful evening!

I had my wedding reception in the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame in the Fort Worth Stockyards and could not have asked for a better experience. Sherry Sayers and Shay Lawson have obviously been in this business a long time as they, along with the rest of their staff, were flawless. Their genuine attitudes, endless options, and quality of service far exceeded my expectations. A lot goes into planning a wedding, but my reception was not a part I had to worry about because the staff at Stockyards station took care of everything I wanted and more. The attention to detail was impeccable, the food was fantastic (according to my husband and I, as well as many of our guests), the unique and spectacular environment were amazing, and the tireless efforts of each staff member involved was beyond belief. As most brides, you want your once in lifetime occasion to be perfect, and that is exactly what it was at Stockyards Station. There were a few things I would have done differently with my wedding, but having my reception at the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame is NOT one of them. They truly made me and my husband feel very special!

We had our Reception at The Stockman's Club. The people were so easy to work with. Everyone involved knew exactly where it was (Bakery, Caterer). We loved it and would definitely have something there again. Everything was excellent and very beautiful!!

Couldn't have asked for more. Heather was wonderful and easy to work worth. Food was exceptional and everyone enjoyed the event, the location, and the ability to walk through the museum.

Working with Heather was fantastic!!! She was always responding to my needs in a very timely manner. I sent her MANY emails with questions throughout the six month contract period. Was very pleased with the service that was provided.

Had a great venue for reception. Food was excellent. Many stated it was better than any catered they had eaten. Wished I had taken the left overs with me...as Mother of the bride I was too busy to eat. Heather was a great help and always answered my questions promptly.

We had the rehearsal dinner for my son and new daughter-in-law, at Stockyard Station, knowing it would be the perfect space to give our out of town guests a taste of Fort Worth, in a relaxed, casual, enjoyable setting.
Heather could not have been easier to work with, and completely flexible, professional and helpful, when our numbers soared to over 100. The staff the night of the event were very friendly and helpful in any way they could. We had many guests comment on the delicious food, and what a great space the Stockyards are.

The room was really nice! It was decorated just like we had asked. The tables were perfect, and the on-site manager was there during the wedding to make sure everything went as planned.

Our guests loved the cowboy theme, and everyone thought the museum being open was really neat.

Parking is a slight problem. Make sure to provide a detailed map for guests, and make sure older guests know that they will have to walk a long distance from the free parking.

The Stockyards are definitely expensive, and that was the only thing that I would have changed. But, considering the surroundings and the level of service, I was happy with my investment.

Stockyards Station had the casual elegance we were hoping to find for our wedding. The staff was very accommodating and helpful with each of our concerns. The cost for the two room rental was a bit higher than we were wanting to pay since we used our own caterer, but overall, our experience with the Station was wonderful.

The only mess up we had was that at the reception. They did not have a copy of my invoice that showed I had paid for the house champagne, so they tried to tell me that i had to buy the expensive champagne because they were out of the house champagne. It was a bump in the road during the reception, but we were able to get it all sorted out.

I would recommend the Stockyards for everyone and anyone! My husband is from Missouri so we wanted everyone to get a good feel of Texas and this was perfect and easy. We were in the Stampede room with about 300 guests and it was great. There was plenty of room. We brought in our own decorations but they were so easy to work with and there is SO much you can do with that place!

We had our wedding and reception in the Stockman's Club. This venue was great. The value was wonderful. The room rental includes catering, set-up and clean-up of provided tables, linens and decorations. They also provide a security guard and servers. The area was great because there are hotels, food, and entertainment close-by for out of town guests. The event planners were easy to work with and were very helpful during the planning process. The only complaint was that they were a little late opening the room for us and the vendors to set up, but we were there early enough in the day so it worked out fine.

I recommend this venue to everyone looking for a different feel for their reception. I had a large wedding of about 250 guests and the Stampede Room was perfect!! The room looked great! The only thing that I would change was the attention that the sales staff showed to me. We met one time when I toured, then after I signed the contract and that was it. There is new staff currently, and I'm sure they are better. But overall it was awesome!!!
