One Lucky Friday the 13th Wedding

We hosted our wedding in the McDavid Studio, a charming space across the street from the Bass Performance Hall and right in the middle of Fort Worth's quaint and lively downtown. The events team at Bass were amazing: very responsive and experienced. We were a couple coming from out of town and had never even seen the venue in person until the week before the wedding, but Justin and Remelee kept us calm and led us through the entire planning process with images, videos, and many ideas for outside vendors such as DJ, catering, and even hotel accommodations for our guests. We planned the wedding in 6 months and it was on a Friday the 13th - somehow nothing went wrong at all! The team was great both in the lead-up and throughout the night, helping move things along and coordinating well with appropriate family members when things came up (like running out of money at the bar, which we did very quickly). McDavid Studio itself is beautiful and easy to decorate. My favorite part were the windows: I loved how they let in sunlight all day and all the colors of the sunset as the evening progressed. Set up was easy to coordinate, even with multiple vendors and people helping, and I think just about anything can look good in that room, as well as the hallways outside. Bride's suite and groom's suite, with their own bathrooms, were convenient as well. Would highly recommend this venue for a good price, beautiful space, and great support team.

Amazing Reception at Van Cliburn Recital Hall

The absolute best vendor to work with! I highly recommend. The space is beautiful- I loved the hardwood floors and windows with views of the concert hall's iconic Fort Worth angels! So much value for your money- Tables and chairs already set out for you and the best hands on crew to make sure the whole planning process runs smoothly. I worked with Remelee and Justin and they were amazing! The bartenders/ drink offerings were great and I thought fairly priced as well. We did a specialty margarita cocktail and it turned out so yummy. We had the best most magical day and we could have done it without bass!

Exactly how I pictured it would be!

We held our reception in the Grand Lobby and it was exactly how I pictured it would be! Absolutely gorgeous and a fun layout to plan with since the space is so unique as opposed to a traditional ball room. Our guests were blown away by the breathtaking interior.
Haven and Justin helped us plan in advance to find the right fit for our vision. They were both accommodating, gave good input, and listened to our ideas. I loved working with them!
The staff on the day of was friendly and helped our guests navigate the space. The set up was perfect and couldn't have been done any better.
I took my bridal portraits here and they turned out amazing. The windows have excellent light and the tall ceilings add an elegant touch.
If you are thinking about having your wedding (ceremony and/or reception) here, I highly recommend it! It truly is a unique space, with friendly staff, and beautiful picture opportunities.
Love, Zoe and Cary Register

Working with Alexa was amazing. She made the wedding planning fun and interesting. She kept me calm the whole time and was very encouraging. I enjoyed working with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone. The day of the wedding she was there to make sure things went smoothly and they did. The Van Cliburn room and McDavid room was set up the way we talked about. She was very professional at all times even when I was get nervous, she was there to calm me down and assure me everything will be okay and it was. Great venue, the halls were beautiful I couldn't ask for better.

Amazing venue for the price. No complaints, pictures are fabulous and I loved the staff. Alexa Bryant was wonderful and accomodating, even when the scary parentals started pestering her about line items, she kept her cool and was completely professional.

We hosted our wedding reception in the McDavid Studio at the Maddox Muse Center of Bass Performance Hall. Alexa Bryant (Event Coordinator for Bass) and the McDavid Studio staff did an AMAZING job!!! We absolutely loved our reception room. Alexa and Bass were very easy to work with--totally professional in every way. They were flexible and accommodating with our requests (for seating arrangements, certain types of wine, decorations, etc.). We would HIGHLY recommend the lighting package offered for McDavid Studio. We chose to light the room in an amber color for our October reception--it was BEAUTIFUL and completely transformed the room. We also placed lit votives in the window panes, and it made for a gorgeous room. The staff was promptly responsive to every need. Multiple guests mentioned how plentiful the choices were at the bar, and the bartenders were highly efficient and professional. If you're looking for a place to host a large reception in the heart of downtown Fort Worth that is not your average boring hotel banquet room, McDavid Studio is your place! Their professional staff will work with you to make your event one to remember!

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!

Beautiful venue! We shot a wedding in one of their banquet halls with the ceremony in an adjacent hall and it really was all very convenient and beautiful. We were even able to do the bride's bridals there the month before and that was fun. Overall a great venue! We highly recommend the Bass Performance Hall for events and weddings!
