According to The Knot’s latest study the average wedding in Texas tends to cost roughly $30,000; factoring in all the must-haves like venue, outfits, music, food, and the ever-important officiant. Whether a similar price tag is in the happy couple’s budget or not, some lovebirds prefer planning a more intimate event for their big day. The growing popularity of the micro-wedding, a ceremony or reception with less than 50 guests in attendance, can be attributed to the modern couples’ desire to bypass the stress, and the price tag, of a traditional matrimonial event, and in the greater Pearland area there’s an array of unique locales that can help them do just that. 

County Line Event Center

For a venue vibe that falls anywhere from traditional to rustic chic, Pearland’s County Line Event Center has a micro-wedding package that allows up to 25 guests (With a little wiggle room for up to 40, with a fee.) and includes three hours of venue time for both the wedding service and reception. The venue also provides a list of wedding essentials like tables, chairs, centerpieces, and a DJ. The on-site coordinator will help to make sure your event runs smoothly, and separate quarters for the soon-to-be-betrothed are available for preparation and primping before they say “I do.” For more information, or to schedule a tour, contact the venue at 281-482-9000, and check out Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ beautiful micro-wedding at County Line here.
