Where this price sits in Sacramento

$1,500 is the 22nd lowest published starting price of the 25 venues listed in the Sacramento metro. The metro median starting price is $266, and 3 of the 25 listings publish a higher starting price than this one.

Among the 8 park & pavilion listings in the metro it ranks 7th lowest, against a median of $259 for that type.

What the capacity costs per guest

The source publishes a capacity of 120 guests. At $1,500, filling the space works out to $13 per guest for the site fee alone, before the license, an officiant, food, or rentals. The median published capacity across the 18 Sacramento listings that publish one is 150 guests, so this space is smaller than the metro median.
