Membership Benefits

The Professional Wedding Guild of Fort Worth is an organization of event professionals committed to a higher level of excellence, service, and quality.  Our mission is to form a solid network of wedding service professionals who can promote one another to couples planning weddings in the Fort Worth Area. The Professional Wedding Guild is dedicated to the promotion of professionalism in the wedding industry and the building of knowledge of its member’s businesses through networking at monthly luncheons and organized events.

• MEETINGS: The bi-monthly luncheons are scheduled on or around the last Wednesday of every odd-numbered month (January, March, etc.) and are open to all active members as well as guests. Meetings start with open networking at 11:00am.  Lunch will be served at every meeting, followed by an educational speaker or other fun educational event.  There are also plenty of door prizes!  The meeting wraps up at 1:30pm, but you are welcome to stay and continue to network. Each luncheon is $75 for guests but only $45 for members and must be paid prior to the luncheon when tickets go on sale. Late registrations for members and guests is $85. Tickets are limited for each meeting based on capacity of venue but is typically around 100 people.

• COCKTAIL PARTIES/HAPPY HOURS: Our bi-monthly Happy Hours, or Cocktail Parties, take place every even-numbered month (February, April, etc.)  The Cocktail Parties are more casual than the luncheons and allow for more intimate networking and relationship-building. Signature drinks and appetizers of some kind are typically provided at Cocktail Party events.
