Today we will present an argument for considering small wedding venues. We are Tarrant Events Center, serving the Greater Fort Worth area with our affordable all-purpose event center. Call us at 817-996-3636 for more information.
Now, though, let’s talk about why you should consider small wedding venues for your big event.
Small wedding venues are usually less expensive.
The key word here is “usually.” We know of some small wedding venues in Los Angeles which cost over ten grand, so don’t think this is the gospel of event space rentals.
Still, as a rule, small is cheaper. Wedding venues can run between $500 and $5000 per event; sometimes even more. Our own Tarrant Events Center costs between $2000 and $3000 per event, depending on the day of the week, and we are at the lower part of the price range for Fort Worth. Our capacity is 300, which puts us in the middle of the pack regarding capacity, perhaps a bit below the middle.
Bottom line: When looking for wedding venues, bigger is not always better.
Small wedding venues are more manageable.
This is a logical statement which seems self-explanatory, but it should be mentioned. Wedding and receptions are a ton of work. They call for endless pre-planning. They call for constant vigilance. They are, in a word, exhausting. Again, a smaller space means less preparation, less decorating, and less that can go wrong when the big event arrives.
Every girl grows up dreaming of a huge wedding event with thousands of attendees; the truth of the matter is that few can afford such a dream, and such a dream has the risk of multiple things going wrong at exactly the wrong time.
Shrink that dream down and live to love another day.
It is our experience that small venues offer more flexibility.
You have all heard the children’s story of The Little Engine that Could? That’s how we look at small venues. They must try harder to compete with the big players in the rental industry, and one way they compete is by offering either more amenities or more flexibility of design.
Take our own Tarrant Events Center as an example. We offer the main event hall plus two VIP rooms. We have a finishing kitchen. We have a moveable stage and multiple large screen monitors. We also have over an acre of landscaped grounds, meaning we expand our capacity by offering a lovely outdoor area to roam.
That is why we market ourselves as an all-purpose event center. We can be a wedding venue, a reception hall rental, a birthday party venue, or a corporate event venue; our flexibility of design makes us an attractive option no matter what your event is.
A final word about Tarrant Events Center.
Tarrant Events Center is locally owned and operated. We may not be the smallest, but we are small enough to know what we are talking about, and we believe our flexibility is second to none. Call us and ask us about our all-inclusive pricing policy and yes, we take reservations a full year in advance, for your convenience.
