Wow! What a party! Not only was their ceremony beautiful and dreamy but Julie and Austin had quite the reception as well. Julie changed into the cutest white jumpsuit and tennis shoes and was ready to hit the dance floor with her new husband! I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty until it […]

Something I have noticed that may be helpful when narrowing down your choices is making sure that it fits your style and personality. I love the Drover because it truly feels like Fort Worth.

In my previous post I spoke about having a break between your ceremony and reception. This is something my Catholic couples often choose to do in order to have […]
