🏝️ breathtaking beach setting 4 mentions

“The convention center has a beautiful view but it's small and there aren't roll up doors or double doors so it is extremely difficult for vendors to get their items in and out of the venue.”

✈️ easy for out-of-town guests 2 mentions

“Easy access, beautiful views of the bay, plenty of parking, and top notch interior designed to accommodate different needs.”

From the reviews

The Fulton Convention Center served as wonderful location for any wedding! I had the honor of preserving Kaylee & Carter’s wedding. Nestled along the oceanfront, the venue boasts a panoramic view of the endless horizon. The event space itself was impeccably designed, offering a blend of sophistication and comfort.

YAY! It was Winter Texan Appreciation Day today..thank you for doing this! Great shuttle service! Event just needs a few tweaks. A bigger venue? Inside LOTS of people, very difficult to see all the vendors. There must be a way to set up the tables for a better flow. Lots of great freebies!

★★★★☆ — Dottie, Jan 2022

The New Paws & Taws building will be opened soon. Looks nice! Congratulations to the Citizens and Leaders from The Town of Fulton. The new building looks great and the low cost LED lights were a great choice. Great choice on design. High quality construction and materials. Should last for many decades to come.

★★★★★ — Brian, Feb 2020

Getting married at Fulton Convention Center - Paws & Taws

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
