About weddings in Dania Beach
Dania Beach is Broward's antique district, a working boatyard town, and a beach, all at once. The Casino at Dania Beach has a ballroom, the pier park does casual sand ceremonies, and the Dania Beach Hotel handles mid-size events. But the venue worth knowing about is Secret Woods Nature Center, which has a covered outdoor amphitheatre built inside a tidal mangrove swamp. There is nothing else like it on the mainland. No grand European estates here, no sprawling golf clubs. This is mid-century storefronts, deep-water canals and mangroves. A venue costs about $10,920, food is $118 a head, and an open bar adds $52. A 120-guest wedding runs about $44,700. If you want a ceremony genuinely inside a mangrove forest, with shade, this is the one place in Broward that has it.
