About weddings in Lauderhill
Lauderhill has the only cricket stadium in the United States certified by the International Cricket Council, and for a certain family that is not a curiosity, it's the reason. The Lauderhill Performing Arts Center does banquet weddings, the Inverrary Country Club does golf receptions, and the Ilene Lieberman Botanical Garden has gazebo ceremonies. It's landlocked central Broward: condos, golf tracks, drainage canals, no salt water. A venue costs about $10,070, food is $109 a head, and an open bar adds $48. A 120-guest wedding runs about $41,300. The city has a large Caribbean-American community and its vendors are entirely used to weddings that run long, loud and late. If that's your family, this is comfortable ground and it's about $4,700 cheaper than Fort Lauderdale.
