Wedding Rental Beware

We rented the Dome and Café for our wedding. It cost $1,000 just for just the rental. You don't get anything for this except access. You have to buy food and alcohol from their “exclusive caterer” which is way over priced and you will not be able to do this for less the $1,500. Better way to go is just go get married why it’s open to the public “it’s free” then go have your reception somewhere else that has better food and prices.
