The Amon Carter Center is fantastic! We used it for a social hour after our wedding where we…read moreserved snacks and met with guests. We served around 100 guests and used all three conference rooms for our event. There were enough tables and space for people to walk around comfortably and stop when they felt like talking. The entire center is clean, there are several bathrooms for guests, and lots of outside area for walking and talking. Diana was amazing! She was always on top of things and worked with us during all our schedule changes. She had several pitchers of tea on hand, as well as coffee, for our guests when we discovered that our catering tea had burst and spilled. She also stayed with us when our event was over to help us pack and clean the area. The center was great for our wedding social hour, and I think it would be great for small business to host conferences and workshops. The center has a relaxed, thoughtful feel that puts you in an industrious frame of mind.

I really love the simplicity and bit of history that the school house offers Bedford!…read more The OBSH sits nestled behind a large open field off of old Bedford Road. The field is home to Twilight Thursdays, Bedford's own little spring concert series, and to the huge Bedford Christmas tree. More informally its my girls and I's secret spot for exploring and Ice Cream on Friday afternoon's when my 3 year old gets out of preschool. I love that they can run, collect rocks and lady bugs, climb large rocks, and dig in the dirt road (Don't worry! We always put it back!) and be safely away from traffic off of the road. I can sit on a picnic blanket and watch and not have to worry about my kids falling off of a some large plastic playground, or getting run over by a car! My only suggestion, especially for twilight Thursdays, is that those fire ant hills are crazy! I got bit several times last season.. yikes! The school house itself is classic, and is like a last piece of country history in a city that becomes more suburban and built up every day. You can see pictures from the its glory days, look at a traditional one room school house set up, attend a murder mystery dinner, or rent one of their different rooms for meetings, or the entire building for a wedding. The last time my girls and I were there, my little one had to go to the bathroom and there was a wedding set-up going on, so we were able to sneak in (with permission!) and use the restroom. The set up was adorable...a PERFECT wedding venue. If I had known this place was available back in the day when I was married, I totally would have chosen it! The wooden stair case and old beams and windows make for great photo ops! I have also attended a 50th birthday celebration here a few years back! There was plenty room for a buffet, a bar, tons of guests and a live band.. totally fun! Last year we went to the school house to take some christmas pictures, and ending up choosing one with the school house in the background for our card! We also took some family photos here last weekend... out back they have bluebonnets, and some great stairs for backdrops. ....I am kind of sad I am writing this review, because now everyone will know my secret hiding spot in HEB for pictures, parties and play! :)

Carron Short, owner and operator of Sugar City sweets & celebrations, the on-site caterer and event…read moreplanning coordinator for Texas Discovery Gardens (TDG) was the perfect person to handle our wedding. My husband stumbled onto the Grand Hall of TDG by accident one afternoon when we were looking for venues. Not only is the staff professional, but you have the beauty of a garden wedding indoors AND for a reasonable price. The cost of facility rental, catering, cake, flowers, and real dishes came to a little over $6,100. In Dallas, a beautiful wedding at that price is hard to beat. Please keep in mind that we did not add on all the bells and whistles. We wanted a simple, Sunday afternoon wedding and you do have to contribute your own extras to the wedding if you want something truly unique to your style but, generally speaking, if I had to do it all over again, I would again and again. Please check out the Sugar City sweets & celebrations Facebook page--Carron and Tammy post pictures of their most recent events there more frequently than on the main website listed with the business information. Sugar City hosts two Open Houses annually, around February and August, in lieu of individual food and cake tastings. Be sure to let Carron know if you're interested in attending. The red velvet and white chocolate raspberry flavors that we selected were a HUGE hit--guests were coming up to me during the ceremony demanding to know where they came from.

Most guests reported they had a piece of each cake. The best part of Sugar City is that when they followed up with me after the wedding and I told them about how wonderful the cake was but that we didn't get a piece, they promptly suggested they make another just for us. The customer services is wonderful, the cakes are amazing, and I'm so glad we chose them to help make our special day that much more special. Thank you Carron for all you did for Zach and me! :)

Handy for locals who don't have a neighborhood clubhouse, and unlike residential rentals, this place is equipped with entertainment for various ages. Friendly staff, and it doubtless less expensive than large family fun centers in the area. They're still settling in, and can use some murals/wall art (to fit in with the train depot theming), high-mounted video to pair with background music, etc. Just to make it more lively, etc. But, so far they're new and probably have plans for this. Come check 'em out for yourself.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to walk the entire length of the festival; however, I did see a good variety of businesses selling their wares.

Now I need to wait another year before I can visit Arts Goggle again.

Arts Goggle - A near southside experience…read more My 5th time coming and will definitely go back! This is probably one of the best experiences you can enjoy in FTW. I know some people plan it out for an all day event but you can come just for a few hours like I do and still enjoy so much. * hundreds of art Vendors, majority are local. * stage with live bands * restaurants with live bands * sponsors giving out free swag * restaurants with condensed menus, all what they do well. With specialty cocktails to cool off with. * food trucks and much more * you can bring your 4 legged babies or even you kids lol. * side shows like glass blowing, piano, people showing their craft. Here are some tips that I have learned: If you don't like walking around a bunch of people show up around 11:30 get good parking and walk around most of the vendors are set up by 11:15 anyways. With that being said if you show up at 12 o'clock parking is gonna be very hard to find and there's already gonna be a ton of people there. Everyone takes cash or credit so don't worry about what kind of money you need to bring. Expect the unexpected. You never know what you're gonna run into every year I go I always run into these fun little side shows where people are showing their craft and it's so fun just to stop and watch and see what they do best. Be extra nice to the restaurant staff during this time as there are thousands of people that come to this event, from all over the United States. When I say it's crowded it gets crowded but it's still a fun event. Take your time to enjoy the restaurant food. Most of the management that I have talked to only have condensed menu for their restaurants during arts goggle to show off what they do well. Including cocktails. Plan to bring something home. I truly believe that there's something for everyone at this event. So when you are buying something and you just got there, ask the vendor if you could just store the item with them and come back around and pick up when you're about to leave. That way you're not having to carry it around. But remember, they have thousands of people coming so if it's small, just take it with you. 10/10 would recommend.

When we went to the store to pick out the table set up the owners, Anagi and Nuwan, were very patient and hospitable, they even gave us their suggestions and ideas which we appreciated a lot. The colors we had planned for the party was very specific so we were very content with their wide selection of colors they had as with their collection of cutlery, plates, glasses, etc. The prices are super reasonable which is always nice to work with! They even took the time to give us a tour of the warehouse!! At the party, everything was set up on time to surprise my father and we were all really impressed with the set up. Everything looked magical, the items were clean and looked brand new! The servers were very pleasant to us and our guests, always had a smile on their faces. At the end of the party everything was cleaned up on time! I would 100% recommend May I Serve U to anyone who wants a stress-free party planning process, they did an amazing job!!

They were incredibly helpful with color selection along with my coordinator and were incredibly accommodating. Our wedding day rentals were so beautiful and made our whole night feel like us. They were great at communicating through the process and even when our guest list numbers dropped it was a super easy change. I also made a mistake in my order and had some duplicate items and they were kind enough to make sure that I hadn't made a mistake instead of just charging us for the items. All of this being said, Nuwan and Anagi were the best part of it! It's always great to work with a business that runs efficiently but it's so much better when that business is run by two of the kindest and nicest people!
