Questions people ask

What are the best venues for a micro wedding in Houston?

We do not rank venues; we list the ones that print a small-group price on their own website. The three lowest are The Courthouse Wedding Chapel $197 (2 guests); The Middleton Venue $380 (seats up to 40); The Makenzie House (Little Glass Chapel) $499 (up to 20 guests), with 11 priced venues in all, from $197 to $8,900.

What are some cheap wedding venues in Houston under $1,000?

Prices are for the package or hours each venue names, so read the row before you book.

How much does a small wedding cost in Texas?

We do not quote an average. In Houston the venue prices we verified run $197 to $8,900, and the official courthouse fees are $81 for the license plus $100 for a ceremony at Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, Place 1.

Is $5,000 enough for a wedding in Houston?

For a small group it can be: the cheapest verified venue ($197) plus the sample finds comes to about $2,208, and even the most expensive venue here is $8,900. A 100-guest wedding is a different budget, because this page prices small groups only.

What is a normal cost for a wedding venue in Houston?

We do not quote an average, because an average hides what each venue actually prints. On this page 11 venues print prices from $197 to $8,900, each quoted from its own website on Oct 28, 2026.

Every price on this page links to the page it came from and shows the day we read it. No affiliate links: we earn nothing from these sellers or venues. How we check.
