About weddings in Hialeah
Hialeah has Hialeah Park, and it is one of the great overlooked wedding sites in America: a 200-acre historic racetrack from the 1920s, Mediterranean Revival, and an official Audubon bird sanctuary because of the permanent colony of pink flamingos living on its central lake. Real flamingos, in the middle of the city, behind your ceremony. The Milander Center handles large modern receptions, Goodlet Park Theater does smaller ones, and Amelia Earhart Park has freshwater quarry lakes. It's landlocked northwest Miami-Dade: post-war concrete, warehouses, Australian pines, no coast at all. A venue costs about $9,860, food is $107 a head, and an open bar adds $47. A 120-guest wedding runs about $40,400, which is roughly $8,200 under Miami. Flamingos and a 1920s racetrack for eight thousand dollars less than a hotel ballroom is a genuinely good trade.
