Known for its historic building and its culinary team, the venue has various spaces for your event, such as a courtyard, private suite and a ballroom that features marble floors, tin ceilings and stained glass windows. These features were present in the building in 1899, making the venue a unique and historical location. With its classic, vintage style, this venue provides a classy, elegant setting for your special day that is popular among foodies and history buffs alike.

Facilities and Capacity
With 10,000 square feet of space, The Ashton Depot can accommodate 30 to 350 guests for sit-down dinners and 50 to more than 500 for receptions. The grand ballroom is a large, historic space that is ideal for receptions, while the 3,200-square-foot courtyard can be tented and is great for cocktail receptions. For smaller parties, a private suite can accommodate up to 30 guests. This venue is ideal for ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers and engagement parties.

Services Offered
With the goal of helping you execute your dream event, The Ashton Depot offers various packages and services. The wedding packages include much of what you’d need for your reception: 4-hour hosted bar with a signature drink, champagne toast, table linens, tables, gold Chiavari chairs, china, glassware, silverware and service staff. In addition, couples may also benefit from valet parking and security, private tastings and help from an event manager.

Cuisine
The Ashton Depot offers catering services with a unique flair from a culinary team led by Executive Chef Cesar Gallegos. Gallegos has more than 15 years of experience in upscale resort and hotel food service venues. He creates fresh cuisine influenced by different international styles and traditions. Options include tray passed hors d’oeuvres, salads, synchronized plated options, buffet options, food station options, signature cocktails, late night snacks and bar/beverage upgrades. The Ashton Depot also offers off-site catering at locations around Fort Worth.

History
Though it’s now been transformed into a full-service venue, The Ashton Depot was originally a railroad station that opened in 1899. It was renovated in 1937. In 1970, it was listed as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. Now, the terminal has been restored to reflect its historical significance and beauty. The original stained glass windows, barrel-vaulted ceilings and marble floors create an elegant, stylish and vintage environment that is great for wedding celebrations.

Perfect Wedding Venue

I booked The Ashton Depot Catering + Events for our wedding in January 2023. I attended an event at The Ashton Depot back in 2015 and the beauty and memory was kept front in center in my mind since that day. When the day came to search for our own wedding venue, The Ashton Depot was the first place I scheduled to visit, and it was “it” from that day forward. Not only is it a stunning space, but I really appreciated the full service support. I was not interested in managing a lot of vendors so the fact that I only needed to work with a DJ, photographer, bakery, and florist was a blessing. The built in coordinator at The Ashton Depot was a bonus! She was incredibly responsive and supportive during the entire process and the night before added the cornhole games per my dad’s request. When I tell you I did not have to do anything on my wedding day, it was thanks to the organization and professionalism of The Ashton Depot staff.
Our guests raved not only about the space, but the plated meal service was icing on the cake. The process made the timeline so smooth for us, the couple, to enjoy our food and our guests. Everyone thought the food was incredibly and every water glass remained full throughout the entire night. The Bride and Groom have a butler assigned and is always within reach to refill our drinks, guide us to our next activity, and just see that we had everything we needed at all times.
I can’t recommend the Ashton Depot Catering + Events enough. Don’t walk, but run to explore if it’s the right event venue for you.

Best venue in DFW!

I give Ashton Depot the highest review! Cindy Vasquez, Chef Cesar Gallegos, and the entire team were wonderful to work with. Cindy was very kind, helpful, and responsive to our questions.
The staff took care of everything from setting up to keeping us on our timeline, providing coordination of their rental items, and taking everything down at the end of the evening. My husband and I, along with our families, did not have to worry about anything; we were in good hands.
The staff exceeded our expectations. Our butler and all the other servers were terrific and very attentive. The synchronized service for dinner was excellent! Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended, along with the best food.
It is so easy to write this review for Ashton Depot, just thinking back on all the details from our wedding reception just makes me smile! We’re so grateful we were able to book the Ashton Depot for our wedding reception and that our date was available. Thank you to all the staff at Ashton Depot that helped us have the wedding of our dreams! We are FOREVER grateful and will always recommend y’all to everyone we know!

The Ashton Depot was an absolute pleasure to work with. EVERYBODY on staff went above and beyond before and during the event. My being a planner, I appreciate organization, sticking to timelines and willingness to do whatever it takes to make this happen. Ashton Depot did all of this.
