Best reception places in dfw

Matt, on November 8, 2019 at 5:19 PM Posted in Texas Planning 0 4
Our wedding venue wants a lot to have the ceremony and reception there so we are looking elsewhere for a venue for the reception. We are open to having catering brought in or having the venue cater it. The main caveat is budget. We don’t want to spend more than 2-3k.

The guest list is about 50-60 people total.

What are your thoughts on this and what are some venues that are beautiful for a reception within this budget?

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community Matt!

    For your reception, have you thought about looking into some local restaurants with a private dining area? With food included, you may get a good deal.

    You could also look at some local community halls that rent the space out for events. This would involve hiring an external caterer but the actual premises may be cheaper.

    We did start looking at restaurants, and they are definitely an option. The ones we’ve looked at spend more per person though.

    For example: The venue we are having the wedding at has in house catering and they estimate $37 per person for food. The only thing is there’s a $3,700 minimum so with a 50-60 person guest list you’re actually paying $62 per person (for 60 people) along with the 8% sales tax and 19% service charge. That’s in addition to the $500-$1,500 Room fee. Restaurants we have looked at (the good ones) want $60 per person, but no room fee.

    We are definitely looking every day throughout the day to get the reception nailed down.
