About weddings in Lake Worth Beach
Lake Worth Beach owns its own oceanfront casino ballroom. That's the headline. It's a restored 1920s-style municipal complex sitting directly on the sand, and because the city runs it, you can book a beachside grand ballroom at public rates rather than resort rates. Nothing else on the Palm Beach County coast works that way. The rest of town is early-1900s wood-frame cottages, 1930s Art Deco storefronts, banyans, and a genuinely artistic downtown, with the Playhouse and the Cultural Council as other venues. No skyscrapers, no luxury resorts. A venue costs about $10,600, food is $115 a head, and an open bar adds $50. A 120-guest wedding runs about $43,400. That is roughly $10,000 under Palm Beach, three miles away, for a wedding on the same ocean.
