About weddings in Davie
Davie is the rodeo town, and it means it. The downtown has a mandated Western architectural code, hitching posts included, and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds are a preserved municipal rodeo stadium you can hold a wedding beside. Nowhere else in South Florida offers that. Flamingo Gardens is 60 acres of botanical garden and old-growth oak hammock. The Signature Grand seats over a thousand guests, which almost nothing else in Broward can. Grande Oaks does golf. It's entirely inland: horse trails, pasture, drainage basins. No beach, no yacht. A venue costs about $11,340, food is $123 a head, and an open bar adds $54. A 120-guest wedding runs about $46,500. If your guest list is enormous, or if you want horses and a barn without leaving the metro, Davie is the answer to both.
