About weddings in Hillsboro Beach

Hillsboro Beach is basically one road. The Hillsboro Mile runs the length of a narrow peninsula, with the Atlantic in the front yards and the Intracoastal in the back, which means an estate here can put your ceremony on the ocean and your guests' yachts at the dock behind the house. The Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse marks the southern tip. The Hillsboro Club is the venue. Beyond that it's private estates. There's no public park, no commercial ballroom. A venue costs about $12,300, food is $133 a head, and an open bar adds $58. Expect $50,300 for 120 guests. That dual-waterfront geography is genuinely rare, and it's why the private club books so far ahead. Ask about dates before you fall in love with the place.
