About weddings in Boca Raton
Boca Raton is Addison Mizner's city. His 1920s Spanish-Moorish work still defines it: pink stucco, hand-carved doors, coquina courtyards, coral rock fountains, banyans. The Boca Raton resort, The Addison, Boca West, Boca Lago and the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club are the rooms people book, and the city runs from inland master-planned communities across the Intracoastal to a barrier island on the Atlantic, so you can genuinely have a ballroom, a courtyard, a country club or a beach. What you won't find is a barn or a casual park pavilion. This isn't that kind of town. A venue costs about $12,190, food is $132 a head, and an open bar adds $57. A photographer is $5,180 and a live band is $6,320. A 120-guest wedding lands near $49,800.
