Questions from Fort Worth couples
How far is The Gardenia from Fort Worth?
56 miles, about 55 minutes without traffic. Head north on I-35W past Alliance, through Denton, and on up I-35 to Valley View. The venue is at 775 S Pecan Creek Trail, Valley View, TX 76272.
How early should Fort Worth guests leave on the wedding day?
Leaving Fort Worth at 3pm on a Saturday, the drive takes about 55 minutes. Ask guests to set out about an hour and a half before the ceremony, which leaves time to park and find a seat.
How do Fort Worth guests get home after the send-off?
Cars can stay at The Gardenia overnight when needed, so anyone who should not drive after the party can leave the car and ride home with a friend, a shuttle or a rideshare. The drive back to Fort Worth at 11pm is about 55 minutes, so a shuttle between a Denton hotel block and the venue saves your guests the late trip. At 11pm, that shuttle reaches the Embassy Suites in Denton in about 25 minutes.
Where should our Fort Worth guests stay?
A room block in Denton keeps the drive after the send-off to 20 or 25 minutes, a lot easier than heading back to Fort Worth. Our couples most often choose the Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center.
Can our Fort Worth vendors work at The Gardenia?
Absolutely. Choose any caterer, DJ or florist you like, and bring your own alcohol for the bar. Several teams from around Fort Worth have worked here already, and they are listed above.
