Testimonials

We scouted venues all over the Fort Worth area for a 600-person corporate event, and absolutely nothing compared to River Ranch Stockyards. The facility has the perfect balance of indoor/outdoor/porch space, and the rustic Texas style found in each room is exactly what we were looking for. Cyndi, Joe and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and more importantly that our guests had a memorable experience. The staff was welcoming from the very first site visit, provided helpful suggestions throughout the planning process, and hustled to make sure everything was perfect the night of the event. On top of all that, the food was excellent. The variety and quality of the hors d’oeuvres was well above the usual event venue fare. If you are looking for a large, unique place in Fort Worth for an unforgettable gathering, look no further than River Ranch Stockyards.

The things that we never thought of, they did. They are in communication with you at all times. If you need something they will make sure you get it.

River Ranch Stockyards may be the most versatile, user-friendly venue in Fort Worth. There is a set-up possibility for any event – large or small. All of the staff members are extremely professional, flexible and accommodating. As long as I’m the one booking the Arlington Heights Homecoming Dance, it’s River Ranch Stockyards!

River Ranch Stockyards has the best of many worlds when looking for a great venue in the Fort Worth area. As an event producer that travels the country producing high-end events, we always look for a venue that has it all. More importantly the staff is helpful, fair, knowledgeable, and always willing to roll up their sleeves to get dirty.
Tony Schubert, Event Eleven

It was an absolute pleasure working with River Ranch Stockyards for our Steak of the Arts fundraiser, the venue was a perfect fit for our Western Chic theme and the team there didn’t miss a beat! The Ranch was fantastic all the way through the process, from the initial planning stages to rolling up their sleeves to pitch in with the day-of set up needs! Our guests had a fantastic time, and the entire experience was highly enjoyable. Thanks, River Ranch Stockyards!

River Ranch Stockyards in the Fort Worth Stockyards was the perfect place for a dinner party and silent auction with over 500 guests! The venue was large, clean, and had a wonderful western aesthetic for a good old fashion western party! The staff was friendly, easy to work with, eager to help, and went above and beyond to make our experience and event perfect! The food was delicious, presented nicely, and conveniently served in buffet lines. I would recommend anyone to have a party, large or small, at River Ranch Stockyards with their three flexible and affordable rooms!

We love having our parties at River Ranch! The staff treats us like we belong there and always thinks about our needs. We also enjoy the fact that great downtown Fort Worth is at our fingertips! River Ranch Stockyards is the first venue I think about when someone mentions Party!
