Corporate groups can rent out indoor spaces, such as Rosine Hall or A Tasteful Place, both of which offer sweeping views of the gardens.

4. Fashion Industry Gallery | Dallas
F.I.G. is a blank canvas venue, but not your average one. Located in the fashionable Design District, it’s surrounded by top-tier hotels, restaurants, and art galleries. Inside, the space is clean, modern, and flexible, ready to be transformed with custom lighting, florals, and luxurious draping.
You can go black tie or modern-retro, bring in a live jazz band or a DJ, and set up cozy lounge areas or formal tables. The versatility makes it a favorite for brands looking to express their company personality with a high-design edge.
5. The Bomb Factory | Deep Ellum, Dallas
Want a bold, unforgettable party with real wow factor? Enter: The Bomb Factory. This repurposed WWII munitions plant turned music venue can host thousands, and it’s full of gritty, industrial charm paired with high-end audio/visual.

6. The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory | Irving
Located in the heart of Irving’s entertainment district, The Pavilion is a go-to for mid-to-large scale holiday parties. It offers indoor/outdoor spaces, a built-in stage, VIP box seating, and endless customization potential.

8. Sundance Square | Downtown Fort Worth
If you're leaning toward a progressive party format or want a walkable, immersive downtown experience, Sundance Square is your answer. Host a reception at The Ashton Depot, a private dinner in Reata’s Rooftop, and an afterparty at Scat Jazz Lounge or Tannahill’s Tavern.
