About weddings in Hollywood
Hollywood has the Broadwalk: two and a half miles of paved, car-free 1920s promenade running along the beach, which means your guests can walk from resort to ceremony to reception without anyone getting in a car. Nowhere else in Broward does that. The Diplomat and Margaritaville are the big oceanfront resorts, the Hollywood Beach Golf Club and ArtsPark handle inland receptions, and the Anne Kolb Nature Center does mangrove-deck ceremonies over the wetlands. The city runs from western suburbs across the Intracoastal to the barrier island, with 1920s Mediterranean traffic circles downtown and mid-century motels on the sand. A venue costs about $10,810, food is $117 a head, and an open bar adds $51. A live band is $5,610. A 120-guest wedding runs about $44,200, which is around $5,300 under Miami Beach for a comparable stretch of Atlantic.
