Food & Beverage Costs
Château Joli allows open vendor selection, giving couples the freedom to choose their own caterer and bar service provider. You can also bring your own alcohol, but you’ll need to hire licensed bartenders and meet any venue insurance requirements.
Since catering and bar costs aren’t listed in the PDF, here’s a general estimate for the Dallas–Fort Worth area:
- Catering + Bar: $125–$225 per guest (includes staffing, food service, rentals, and alcohol)
This means for 150 guests, you should budget $18,750–$33,750 for food and drinks alone, depending on your selections.
How much could your total wedding cost be if you got married at Château Joli ?
Using the pricing details in the PDF, we put together some high level quotes using Tulle’s Venue Calculator tool. This tool allows you to put in the most common elements of venue pricing PDFs to figure out the actual total without having to build a complex spreadsheet.
For a peak season Saturday, you could expect to pay $32,000 for 150 guests. If you book during the off-season, this total could be significantly cheaper.
When you factor in everything — from venue fees to vendor costs — Tulle Together’s Cost Forecast Tool projects that the total budget of wedding at Château Joli could land close to $70,000, depending on your guest count (this estimates a 150 person guest count on a peak-season Saturday), design scope, and other vendor selections. This estimate factors in a range of typical wedding expenses beyond the venue & catering itself, helping couples get a realistic view of what their wedding might actually cost before making any commitments. Of course, someone could spend more or less than this (especially if you go with off-season pricing and less guests!) – but it’s an average estimate for what that total wedding cost could look like.
The Cost Forecast Tool is just one of Tulle Together’s budgeting resources. On the website, you’ll find a variety of budget tools designed to help couples plan out their total wedding costs before they book anything. Whether you’re estimating expenses, tracking your spending, or looking for real venue pricing, Tulle Together’s tools provide a transparent approach to wedding budgeting—so you can plan confidently and avoid unexpected surprises.
