About weddings in Lake Park
Lake Park's venue is the Kelsey Theater, a fully restored 1926 vaudeville house on a mainland main street. You can get married inside a working period theatre, which is not something Palm Beach County offers anywhere else. There's also the Lake Park Marina for charters and the Scrub Natural Area for outdoor ceremonies. The town sits on the western shore of the Lake Worth Lagoon: industrial warehouses, 1920s commercial blocks, cottages, docks. No Atlantic oceanfront inside town limits. A venue costs about $10,920, food is $118 a head, and an open bar adds $52. Expect $44,700 for 120 guests. If you want industrial-chic or a retro theatre rather than a ballroom, this is the cheapest way in Palm Beach County to get it.
