About weddings in Deerfield Beach
Deerfield Beach runs from inland parkland across the Intracoastal to a wide barrier island beach, and it handles most kinds of wedding well. The Embassy Suites resort and the Royal Blues Hotel do oceanfront ballrooms, Deer Creek does golf club receptions, Two Georges at the Cove does waterfront, and the International Fishing Pier anchors the beach ceremonies. Quiet Waters Park in the west has one of the largest cable wakeboard lakes in the country, which makes for an unusual backdrop if that's your thing. What's missing: historic European estates. There aren't any. 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, which is roughly $7,000 less than Boca Raton eight minutes north for a very similar beach.
