Not everything is bigger in Texas, just take a peek at these small wedding venues Dallas has to offer. Ever since the pandemic, microweddings have continued to increase in popularity whether that be due to people wanting to spend less or simply break wedding stereotypes. We know that wedding planning can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to planning a small wedding as there may be some different factors that need to be considered when it comes to aspects including selecting a small wedding venue.

Whether it be renovated warehouses or small churches, there are many Dallas venues for small weddings that can accommodate weddings with a condensed guest list of around 50 people or fewer. Plan a wedding at one of these small wedding venues in Dallas that will show your guests what North Texas has to offer and will leave them remembering your special day forever.

Dallas Arboretum

Maybe you met while reading a book under a tree or maybe under one is where you popped the question. Either way, the Dallas Arboretum is a wonderful location containing several small wedding venues. For a daytime ceremony, you can rent out the Rose Mary Haggar Rose Garden with a capacity of 60, or the Nancy Rutchik Red Maple Circle which can accommodate up to 80 guests. A whole lot of trees plus your loved ones–we think that sounds pretty nice.
