What the venue publishes
City of Mandeville Facility Usage Application (wedding form): "Usage for short (30 minute) weddings is $150. The Lakefront is a park, so reserving the usage does not prohibit normal usage of the area." Estimated attendance is capped at 20 maximum on the wedding form. The City's Facilities (Parks) Usage Application lists Sunset Point at "$150 with a $50 deposit to reserve".
The source publishes $150 as the fee for this space, not a starting point.

Among the 11 park & pavilion listings in the metro it ranks 1st lowest, against a median of $250 for that type.
What the capacity costs per guest
The source publishes a capacity of 20 guests. At $150, filling the space works out to $7.50 per guest for the site fee alone, before the license, an officiant, food, or rentals. The median published capacity across the 11 New Orleans listings that publish one is 60 guests, so this space is smaller than the metro median.
