Where this price sits in Dallas-Fort Worth

$100 is the 4th lowest published starting price of the 19 venues listed in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. The metro median starting price is $200, and 13 of the 19 listings publish a higher starting price than this one.

What the capacity costs per guest

The source publishes a capacity of 50 guests. At $100, filling the space works out to $2.00 per guest for the site fee alone, before the license, an officiant, food, or rentals. The median published capacity across the 7 Dallas-Fort Worth listings that publish one is 100 guests, so this space is smaller than the metro median.

Cedar Hill State Park and the Mesquite venues sit in Dallas County. The application must be completed online first; the clerk issues an order number that is used to book the in person appointment where both applicants sign and the license is issued. The license expires on the 90th day after issuance and the Twogether in Texas certificate both cuts the fee by $60 and waives the 72 hour waiting period. An exception to both applicants appearing exists for armed forces members stationed overseas.
