The Fort Worth Club is a unique venue because of the combination of available space, volume of events, and personal attention that you don’t see at many other event sites. We are similar to a hotel in the amount of events that we host, continually changing our room set-ups to accommodate breakfasts, lunches, dinners and receptions for 5-500 people. And yet, we are still an intimate private club at heart, offering the top-of-the-line service and attention to detail that Club members expect.
With such a large volume of events comes the need for a stellar Catering Team to handle all the details. Introducing the Fort Worth Club Catering Team:
