About weddings in Parkland
Parkland kept its land. Zoning here protects large open green space per resident, so weddings happen on multi-acre wooded lawns that simply don't exist in the packed cities south of it. Slash pines, cypress heads, equestrian lots. The Parkland Golf & Country Club, Pine Trails Park and local civic space are the venues. It's the far northern edge of Broward, up against the Everglades, entirely landlocked. No beach, no marina, no high-rise. A venue costs about $11,870, food is $129 a head, and an open bar adds $56. Figure $48,600 for 120 guests. If your picture of the day is a big lawn, big trees and a tent, Parkland gives you more room than anywhere else in the county.
