    Do you have a section of Dallas in mind? What is a reasonable price for you? Did you want to get married on a Saturday, or a less popular day of the week? Saturdays are most expensive for most venues, but you can save a lot of money on a great venue by having a Friday or Sunday wedding.

    I loved winechic's and rcpm's weddings at La Buena Vida, but it is ALL outdoor, even reception.  You can, of course, get tents.

    Winfrey Point/Filter Building on White Rock Lake have great rates (better if you are a Dallas resident), so those are probably the most popular.  But they book up really, really quickly.

    What time of year are you planning on getting married?  I know outdoor weddings are beautiful, but I would caution you against an outdoor wedding in, say, the middle of July.  If this warm spring is any indication, we are headed for another record-breaking summer heat wave!

    The OP's profile says September 30.

    Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park
    Colleyville Center 

    And of course the Arboretum which has pretty reasonable ceremony options, but reception is another story. And of course, I can name a ton that aren't so "reasonable!"

    I came across this blog once and it has some other ideas.

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you for all the responses. I am planning on getting married in October 2012. We don't mind outside everything. But we are trying to keep the entire reception cost (cake, flowers, DJ, and catering) under $7000. 

    Thanks again!

    Depending on how many ppl you're having, you could possibly do that at La Buena Vida with the right vendor line-up. My wedding was October 15 of this last year, and I LOVED our space. That said, we did a LOT to it. You can look a few posts down at my wedding video highlight I posted to get a feel for the ceremony space and what the reception looked like. If you want more info or pictures, let me know, I can send you some links. LBV is off Main Street in Grapevine.

    Great! I'll definitely take a look. We are planning on 150 or less.

    I'm also a La Buena Vida Bride, and except for flowers and candles I didn't add a lot more to the space. No uplighting or additional. We probably had a tighter budget than winechic--although I loved her uplighting! Both of our wedding's were in October and were blessed with good weather.

    I can send you the price sheet, if that helps, just message me your email address. I can tell you right now we spent over $7,000 on the items you listed.

    I loved the venue, but you can very easily go over your budget with just food, venue and wine/beer. That said it's such a pretty venue that you could get away without doing to much decorating to it in my opinion.

    I originally tried to get Winfrey Point because it fit our budget better, but it was booked. In the end we really just fell in love with this venue.
