Prices by city
Dallas vs Waco
My niece is getting married this April (yep, shot gun wedding) in Waco (where I grew up) and while helping her plan I realized how much cheaper it would be for us to get married in Waco ( yeah the infamous small Texas city :P ) More than half the guests live in Dallas and there is so much better selection in venues, catereres, clubs, restaurants..... But for what we're spending on an average venue in Dallas with beer and wine, we could have a very nice one in Waco ( by the city standards) with a full open bar AND pay for the hotel rooms for ALL the out of town guests and STILL have money left over. Not that the Dallas one won't be great, I mean there aren't any high rises to speak of in Waco or any good places for a bachelorette party or bachelor really, (this is looking even better, JK) Jameson has been opposed to Waco from the start (native Dallas-ites are very proud of their city) but I figured once I showed him how much cheaper it would be, he might go for it. But no. I love Dallas, the venues there fit our personalities and what we would like for a wedding much more and it will be much easier to plan there but I think I'd go for the extra money to keep. Ug, I don't like thinking about it, I guess Dallas is the place to be.
**Waco description** Waco is almost the only city between Austin and Dallas, right smack in the middle, 100 miles from either. It is it's own little city in a way. It has suburbs of it's own but including all of them it's probably still maybe 175, 000 people. There are suburbs of Dallas bigger than that. Unfortunately famous for a cult that went down in the 90s, actually outside of Waco but since it's the only real city in a 200 mile radius, it took all the blame. |
