I can't recommend Roots enough. I read a few reviews about being "disorganized" but these ladies…read morewere anything BUT disorganized. We gave them a few idea and what they turned out was beyond any expectations I had. Ambra jokingly commented during the reception that she needed either myself (MOB) or the bride to have a meltdown about something but there was NOTHING to meltdown about. No detail was overlooked. We showed up, we partied and had NOTHING to worry about. The decor was PHENOMENAL. I expected typical bland wedding food, and it was actually SO good! Multiple people told me how great it was. The cakes were perfect & delicious... NOT your typical dry wedding cake. The Roots staff were super accommodating to our additional vendors. They were incredible with my last minute changes & additions. I couldn't have been happier with the way my daughter's wedding turned out. I could NOT have executed this anywhere else without their help! I can't think of a single thing that could have been better or I would have changed. I'm so grateful for all of their help and everything they did to create such a beautiful day!!

2, 4, 6, 8... The 4 Eleven is really GREAT!…read more My husband's company did their Christmas party here. It was a very beautiful venue with great open vibes. It was a rainy night so we couldn't enjoy the patio as much but the inside was quite spacious. They had room for two bars, multiple tables (which sat about 150 people), space for a band and a dance floor. It's definitely a venue to check out for hosting events, weddings, luncheons, parties, etc. We didn't handle any of the planning or coordination for the party but everything seemed to be going smoothly. Overall, it was a very nice time!

Foodwise we had the grilled oysters and the one with shortbread. Honestly they were a bit disappointing, especially if you love your oysters raw. The shortbread one was interesting to try but I wouldn't get it again. Service was pretty slow and we didn't get all the utensils we needed right away with our food and had to wait. It was pretty dead so only suggestion would be a bit more proactive attention. The live music during the daytime was great!

During a trip to Fort Worth in April, a friend and I stopped by Hotel Drover for drinks and to…read moreexplore the property a bit. Wow, what a beautiful hotel. Located in the Stockyards and part of Marriott Bonvoy's Autograph Collection, the Drover somehow managed to feel luxurious, western, cozy, and lively all at once! We grabbed drinks at the lobby bar before wandering around the hotel grounds, taking photos, and eventually settling into chairs overlooking the little river/creek area behind the hotel. The outdoor spaces are stunning and incredibly relaxing and I loved all of the murals around! A huge shoutout to Victor, the bartender working that Friday afternoon. I gave him a very vague idea of what I was in the mood for and he definitely understood the assignment. He crafted me some sort of elevated fruity ranch-water-adjacent cocktail that was refreshing, delicious, and one of the many highlights of the afternoon. I completely forgot the name of it but I remember enjoying it - so much so that I ordered another one during lunch :) One of our other friends joined us later for drinks and lunch and, somehow, everyone except me managed to trip over the grass at one point or another. Oh, and not too mention, the great landscaping entertainment... haha! We can't all be perfect!! All in all, the Hotel Drover feels very welcoming even if you aren't staying overnight. You can walk around, enjoy the grounds, grab a drink, and soak in the atmosphere without feeling totally out of place. Relaxing, stylish, and very Texan. I'd absolutely return and would love to actually stay the night sometime!

My favorite spot to sip on a drink and lounge outside in FTW!!…read more I haven't stayed at the Drover, but I love coming here for the vibes. The hotel's lobby interior and exterior is absolutely stunning! I love the outdoor seating area with lots of chairs, sofas, and greenery. Today I got the Raspberry Jalapeño Margarita, which is genuinely one of my fav drinks in the Stockyards! We found an area that overlooked the creek and it was the perfect place to rest and relax. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

This isn't an enormous venue; but you can comfortably fit 250 guests. There's a gorgeous spiral staircase that leads to the main level, as well as a glass elevator. Super-tall ceilings, a spacious wooden floor, and giant windows make for a wide-open, ethereal ambiance. It's pretty majestic. The Marquis offers different wedding reception packages (including dinner, wedding cake and cake cutting, linens and glassware, centerpieces, an event coordinator, wait staff, and security) from anywhere between $17 and $54 per guest. You can also have an outdoor party, ceremony, or reception outside (for 50 guests max). I didn't get a look at their outdoor space, but based on the inside, I'm sure it's wonderful. I attended a wedding ceremony and reception here a few weeks ago, and it was pretty awesome for the wedding party and bride to come up that beautiful spiral staircase, emerging into the center of the room before they walked down the "aisle." Very unique and dramatic. After the ceremony, guests went downstairs for hors d'oeuvres and wine while the staff rearranged the upstairs from ceremony seating to reception tables, chairs, and a dance floor. It was a beautiful wedding and the Marquis on Magnolia really made it extra-exceptional.

3.5 Stars = 4 Stars location / 3 Stars food…read more The layout of this venue is great for small to medium groups. The ballroom is on the 2nd floor, but there is also a glass enclosed elevator. It's a U shaped space that allows for food service on 1 side long side, seated dining on the opposite side with dais & dancing at the short connecting end. Soaring ceilings adds to the majestic and formal ambiance of the historic location. The curving central stairway makes for a unique grand view of the wedding party making their appearance by ASCENDING into the party space rather than a more typical descend; it made for great photos! I attended a wedding at this venue, so I'm guessing that they cater as well. The appetizer buffet was well presented and the offerings were prepared to the best expected. I don't think it fair to review the main meal since the wedding party had an extended photo session; therefore the food was served after a long time in warming mode. But, if you're planning a wedding or special event I would definitely encourage a consideration based on just the location, especially if you live in Fort Worth.

They told us that the electricity would be back on in about 20 to 25 minutes and we set outdoors in the heat which we didn't mind that part. Then when we inquired as to if the restaurant was going to reopen, they said no, electricity wouldn't be back on for the rest the day, but they did not inform us until we asked. The food may be good but we didn't get a chance to experience that or the atmosphere of the inside of the restaurant. This was our first visit and we're contemplating if we will ever go back.

Highly recommend. I'd go again in a heartbeat.
