Delicious Tex-Mex Rehearsal Dinner Spot



La Familia, located right off West 7th in down town, is the perfect Fort Worth location. They have the best Tex-mex I have had in a while. Because of how busy they were on Saturday night, we seated in a back room. All I could think about is how great this location would be for a small rehearsal dinner. The prices were great and the food was excellent. Everything was extremely fresh; they even use diced beef instead of ground beef to impart more flavor into the food. They have an awesome flaming margarita! It’s a margarita with sugar cube on fire which adds just the right amount of sweet. Their fajitas are also flaming, they set it on fire at the table. However if you want more of a buffet style for the dinner they do platters of food. It’s the perfect place for a tex-mex rehearsal dinner. But be careful, they are closed on both Sunday and Monday!

Lauren and Frank

We are unbelievably blessed by our clients. We have the best in the industry, but when it comes to the best of the best, Lauren and Frank are right there at the top.  Their personalities and grace throughout the planning process showed us again why it is that we love planning weddings.

Lauren began the day at the hotel with her girls getting ready for the day ahead.  Her fabulous photographer, Stacey Pinkney at Simple Moments Photography was there to capture it all.

She is also the perfect combination of complete style and downhome grace. 





 Once they were all ready, they rode in style over to Robert Carr Chapel to prepare for the ceremony.







 The guests were then directed to the City Club of Fort Worth for a cocktail hour, then a breathtaking reception. The decor was provided by Lucy Walling of A Rose in Bloom.

 Chad Fitzgerald of the Cake Guys delivered the incredible cakes. The groom's cake (not shown here) was absolutely adorable.
 Frank and Lauren were introduced into the reception and spun around the dance floor with style thanks to lessons by Greg Michaels at Dance on the Vine in Grapevine.

 The night was filled with energy thanks to Randal Stout of Randal Stout Entertainment. No one was ready for the evening to end.
 And, of course, we had to have the obligatory TCU alumnae photo!
Thank you, Lauren and Frank, for allowing us to be part of your special night!
 One final, private last dance.

 Classic Carriages was waiting to send them on their way.

Kerry and Dave

 Kerry and Dave are TCU Alumnae with very specific tastes.  Kerry had a vision of what her wedding day was to look like, and we did everything we could to help her create it.

The day began with the bridesmaids preparing for the wedding at a suite in The Ashton Hotel. They enjoyed spending the time together while each had their makeup done by the fabulous Jennifer Trotter of Lip Service.

Mystical fairytale, or Preciselyas Planned Wedding?  It's honestly hard to tell the difference!  The rooms of the Maddox Muse building containing the ceremony and reception in Bass Hall, downtown Fort Worth, were changed into elegant areas, perfectly suited for all in attendance!






Kerry was radiant on her wedding day in her gown from Bliss Bridal, and her groom, Dave, could not stop smiling at her.
 The flowers and decor provided a perfect back drop against the royal purple bridesmaids dresses thanks to Lucy Walling of A Rose in Bloom.

 A first look was followed by Formal Portraits by Peyronet Photography (aren't the photos AMAZING???) to capture the architecture and light found in downtown Fort Worth.


 The Ceremony was held in the Van Cliburn Room, and felt completely sacred and intimate.

 After a cocktail hour in the Canteen, the Reception was ready to begin in McDavid Studio.

 The stage was set for the band, High Definition, who not only played great sets, but also emceed the night with flair! Definitely one of the best bands we have had at our receptions!

The cakes, which were absolutely delicious, were created by Creme de la Creme.  


And as the band played toward the end of the evening, our fabulous caterers Tastefully Yours provided the guests with some incredible flat-bread pizzas - the perfect little late night snack.  These were even better than they look!

 Finally, it was time to call it a night, so after a send off, Kerry and Dave left in true style!

Jenny and Bryan

 Jenny and Bryan's day was characterized by true class and elegance from the first moment they arrived at University Christian Church until they pulled away in their coach. The love they shared was visible, and their family and friends enjoyed wrapping them in love.

They had hired On Locations Portraiture to capture every moment, and we are thankful that Jim shared some of their special moments with us.

 After a gorgeous ceremony, the wedding guests traveled the few miles to the Maddox Muse Center at Bass Performance Hall where the reception was held in the McDavid Studio.

Guests were greeted with refreshments followed by an amazing dinner by Reata Catering simply characterized by YUM! After dinner came the delicious cakes created by none other than Creme de la Creme.

The crowd was entertained by the crooning tunes of Trey and the Tritones.
