Trinity River Audubon Center by Boxwood

I genuinely don't even know where to begin. We fell in love with TRAC at first sight over a year ago, and knew right away that it was where we wanted to get married. But what we didn't know was how incredible the experience of working with the Boxwood Hospitality team would be. From day one, the Boxwood team made us feel seen and taken care of, helping us execute on our vision, dreaming along with us, and allowing us to be creative with all of the beautiful spaces at the venue. There's so much we want to highlight, but we'll start with food. Our tasting with Chef Justo and the team set the tone for what we should have known would have been one of the biggest hits of the whole wedding. Everything was thoughtful, considered, and delicious, and Chef Justo was so kind and collaborative. Cut to the wedding weekend itself: literally everyone we've talked to can't stop raving about the quality of the food and the service from the Boxwood team. I've genuinely never been to a wedding where people noticed or cared about the food or the service before, but our guests are STILL raving about it. Everything was hot, delicious, and served beautifully. And for our guests with food allergies, the Boxwood team took extra special care to accommodate them (and they allowed us to bring in Kosher food for two guests who needed it - thank you for that!). The venue, of course, speaks for itself, and so many of our guests - including the folks local to Dallas - were in awe of the natural beauty as well as the look and feel of the modern building. The Boxwood team worked with us to use all of the spaces at the venue, including our ceremony under the breezeway, cocktails on the Scissortail Deck, and even an immensely popular caviar and vodka station out on one of the boardwalks! People loved getting to experience the entirety of the property during the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and then the reveal inside the great hall of TRAC was even more special. We have to thank the entire Boxwood team for the incredible service, the effort to get our space set up quickly and perfectly, and the kindness from start to finish. But we would be remiss not to specifically highlight Maggie, who not only was our creative partner, collaborator, and lead contact from Boxwood for our wedding, but who became a true friend. I can't tell you the number of times I called Maggie stressing out about one thing or another, and she immediately put us at ease. She spent so much time working with us, our planner, and all of our vendors, to ensure that everything was smooth and exactly how we planned it. All night during the wedding, she checked on us, our parents, ensuring we had drinks, knew where we were supposed to be, and were happy. There were so many moving parts to our wedding, but with Maggie at the helm coordinating on our behalf, we felt at ease - and in the midst of the chaos of a wedding weekend, you just can't put a number on that. THANK YOU Boxwood Hospitality for making our dreams come true. We are still floating and will be for a very, very long time. We can't recommend y'all enough. All our love - Julie & David Galstyan
