Richardson Woman’s Club

I was petrified about turning 30. In my late 20’s, 30 seemed like sudden doom… I was sure I’d become a senior citizen overnight. Since life would officially be over, I decided to have an incredible party to mark the occasion of my 30^th. I’d been socking away $$ for a wedding fund, but decided that I didn’t want to get married after all… so I used the wedding fund for my ‘event.’
I’d played numerous weddings at Richardson Woman’s Club over the years, and I was always impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the beauty of the setting. It was easy to choose RWC as the location of my party. There are two buildings where events can be held – the main house (smaller) and the big hall (bigger and has a stage). I opted for the house.
The event was planned by the AWESOME party/​wedding coordinator, Tina Kalina. My caterer (RWC has a required list to choose from) was Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (they were outstanding!). The Tom Braxton jazz band provided the perfect musical ambiance. We had a dance floor and lots of folks were groovin’.
There were about 100 people there, and it was a BLAST! Everything was perfect and people STILL talk about this event years later (I refuse to say HOW MANY years later!). In fact, some of the folks at the party that night chose RWC as their wedding venue.
I highly recommend RWC for weddings and events. It is a hidden gem and you won’t be disappointed. Lots of bang for the buck as well!
Humorous side note: Sugar Bear and I were not dating when this party occured. He was invited (we were friends from church), but would not go because it was a ‘dressy’ event and he felt (at the time) that real Texans only wear jeans. I was furious that he didn’t attend, but calmed down enough to go out on a date with him two weeks after the party. Less than a year later, he proposed. Needless to say, the wedding fund was gone. Oh well, we eloped to Vegas and had a pirate themed wedding! It was meant to be!
