About weddings in Belle Glade
Belle Glade sits on the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee, wrapped by thousands of acres of black-dirt sugar cane, and it calls itself the Winter Vegetable Capital of the World. It means it. The Belle Glade Country Club has the Sugar Cane Golf Course, the Lawrence E. Will Museum does civic receptions, and Torry Island Campground and Marina has lakeside pavilions reached over an old swing bridge. Outdoor weddings here look out at the Herbert Hoover Dike and a horizon of cane fields. It is nothing like coastal Palm Beach County and it does not pretend to be. No ocean, no resort, no high-rise. A venue costs about $9,430, food is $102 a head, and an open bar adds $45. A 120-guest wedding runs about $38,700, roughly $14,700 under Palm Beach in the same county. This is a freshwater, agricultural, working-town wedding, and it's an honest one.
