AffordableOutdoor Wedding??

loridarling

Anyone in the DFW area know of a nice but affordable outdoor venue? I'm looking for maybe around 1000. Even if it was just a field with a barn! My fianc and I are going for a rustic/western theme but everywhere we look everything is just too pricey. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Is $1K just for the rental or does that include food?  How many guests?  Do you want ALL outdoor for both ceremony and reception?

I'm hoping to spend $1000 on the venue, I have more $$ set aside for the rest of it. Guest count is probably 100-150.

Winfrey Point at White Rock Lake is around $180/hour but it is completely DIY and books up very quickly.  It would hold your guest count nicely, though.

River Legacy in Arlington has a great outdoor pavillion. Its somewhere around $300.00 for the entire day. Its completely DIY, but if you have people to set up/clean up for you it would be worth it. www.riverlegacy.org

I'm not sure about the rates, but you may want to call Paradise Cove as well.

<div>Gorgeous place but more pricey than I was looking for, thank you for the suggestion, though!</div>

I do not know their pricing but several Knotties have used La Buena Vida vineyards.  It is 100% outdoors though with no backup plan.

Here is our "barn thread" which lists barn venues in the metroplex.  Some of these would probably fit your budget, like Swinging D.

How rustic/western you looking? Nashville Antiques in Burleson has a party barn with an outside area that could probably accomodate your guest count. It was a little too "rustic" for me, but the inside of the barn is air conditioned with a bar area. It even has an old claw foot tub you can fill with ice to put your drinks in to keep them cold. I think it rents for $650..8 am - 1am. All DIY . They don't have a website but you can call to schedule a tour....
