  Is that JUST the rental fee? Yes that sounds pretty high even for Dallas. Unless that includes food. And I would not trust Avanti. Of course they will SAY they can do it but we've had Knotties actually use them and I don't think that is the opinion of those that have used it. Hopefully an Avanti bride will chime in. You could also look at the Hall of State or Union Station.

  I toured Avanti, and the person I spoke with said that they will seat guests in the restaurant dining room (in addition to the regular wedding reception room) to accommodate larger receptions.  I think they will also set up a dance floor outside so that they can seat more people inside.
  
  The bottom line is that, if you want to have more than 100 people at a wedding at Avanti, all of your guests will not be in the same room.  Avanti is a lovely venue, but I really thought it was better suited for smaller weddings.

  That's high for Dallas, I think.

  I got married at Avanti and I for sure would not have over 125. And at that point you would have to dance outside, which can be risky depending on the time of year. I love it but it is def for smaller weddings! What are your needs besides 150 ppl?

  If that is just the rental fee, not including any food or beverage, I think it is really high.

  Also, from what I've heard just discussing weddings with my Chicago friends, Dallas is much cheaper, at least when you compare Chicago downtown to Dallas down- or uptown.
